You're really paying for the atmosphere, not the food. The vibe is beautiful, but the food was very basic and not well presented compared to the setting. There are definitely better Japanese and sushi spots out there. The staff were super nice though probably the highlight of the experience.
Was looking for BYOB and found this place, so we decided to have my husband's birthday dinner here. During the reservation process, the staff were very kind and helpful. The restaurant is nicely decorated and is on the smaller side but very quaint and cozy. The food was delicious and there are many options at pretty reasonable prices! And the carrot cake... OMG!!! Thank you L'in-time! - Meagan & family
The food was delicious and the staff was great. The service was pretty slow, most likely because their staff is new and it was busy. Waited around 45+mins for our final plate, so we decided to order dessert. Final plate never came but the dessert came pretty quick. Dessert options are pretty good.
I visited Matcha 2nd Gen Café on March 1st with friends, on one of those freezing winter days where you just want something warm and comforting. The service stood out right away. The staff were genuinely kind, and I was served by the owner, Sarah, who took the time to answer my questions and guide me through the menu based on what I felt like having. It made the whole experience feel more personal. We tried a few drinks: • Matcha 2nd Gen with coconut milk • Iced matcha with ube topping • Iced salted tiramisu matcha The ube was my favorite flavor, but I'd recommend asking for a lighter amount of topping if you prefer something less sweet and more matcha-forward. One thing I really appreciated is that the matcha actually tastes like matcha. It's not overly milky or sugary, which makes this a great spot for people who enjoy a more authentic flavor. We also had the cinnamon brioche, which was soft, well-balanced, and not too sweet. I'm usually not a big cinnamon roll person, but this one was definitely worth trying. The space is simple but thoughtful, with small details like board games available and a cozy playlist (early 2000s R&B when we visited) that adds to the overall atmosphere. The café is still relatively new, opened about 6 months ago, and you can feel the care behind it. They also offer seasonal drinks, so the menu changes regularly. Overall, a cozy and well-executed spot for quality matcha and a relaxed visit. I'd definitely come back.
We discovered this restaurant while looking for somewhere to eat downtown and decided to give it a try. The food was really fresh and savory. It had a futuristic atmosphere with robots and little trains serving you the food. The service was really good, our bbq wasn't working and they were extremely attentive and changed us tables, and even gave us a discount for the inconvenience. Would definitely come back with friends!
