Steven’s 5-star review: Delicious sweets, but really pricey. It's not something to be snacking on everyday, but well worth it for a special occasion or just a splurge. The bunny pastry they had here are awesome. They look great and are fresh even though they're packaged. I'm not sure, but it looks like everything is packaged sweets here. They have this frequent customer card, where you spend $100 and get a $5 off your next purchase. -
Steven’s 5-star review: Kissako Tea is a little shop underneath the stairs of one of Japan Town's malls. It's a nice little gem waiting to be uncovered in this place filled with restaurants. They have various Japanese pastry snacks and various drinks here like the green tea to bottle calpico. They're a little cafe like place so there's a lunch menu, but I haven't tried their lunch yet. This is my favorite place to head to in Japan Town. I usually have to grab some mitarashi dango and kushi dango on skewers. I believe their snacks are homemade, which accounts for the great freshness. Both of their dangos are a must try for anyone who's heading to J-Town. -
Steven’s 5-star review: First time going here through a recommendation from a friend. The place is located on the corner and it definitely looks like a diner from the outside. Totally missed it and walked by while searching for it. The inside is a diner on the right side and it does look like they serve diner food also. I thought I was in the wrong place until I looked left and so the mochi counter. The mochi's really fresh here and it seems like they're homemade. I ended up buying two of each of their popular mochis to try out. Got a total of 10, tried 3 random ones before the whole box was devoured by other people. They were all chewy and soft. I totally missed out the strawberry mochi. That gives me an excuse to come back... This place accepts cash only. -
Steven’s 4-star review: Taiyaki! It's so freaking hard to find this in SF especially fresh ones. Flavors they have are chocolate, red bean, and chocolate banana. Buy 12 and get 1 free and they take cash only. When it's piping hot and fresh, it tastes awesome. When it's cooled down, tossing it into a toaster oven makes it great again. -
Steven’s 4-star review: Akiba's a regular cafe by day and a maid cafe by night. Their interior is fully decorated with anime posters with two flat screen TVs showing anime movies or shows. The cafe is about mid-size so it looks like it can fit 30 people in nicely. They have crepes, bread boxes, drinks ranging from coffee to soda, and various ice cream. Shibuya Style Honey Box is amazing! Outside is a bread crust 4 inches high. Inside is small toasted bread sticks. On top is scopes of ice cream of your choice. There's also honey they provide to pour onto the bread sticks inside the box. This is a really great dessert that's a must try. The fruit box was alright. It wasn't anything special about it. It's literally fruits inside a bread crust box. Green tea latte... this was horrible. It tasted like water down warm milk tea without sugar. Service: It kind of sucks. It's only their 2nd weekend so I'll give them some slack. Waitress was kind of swamped and they didn't seem to have anything down or were used to the rush. They had a hard time with deciding what kind of system to use since they were switching between order at table and pay later or order at register and get served. Overall, I would say 3.5 stars. Honey box is amazing. Fruit box not so much. Green tea latte = stay away. Service was bah... This place is cash only!

Steven’s 4-star review: Next Door Sweets is pretty awesome. It seems to be owned by the San Tung restaurant people. They have like every dessert possible here for some reason. Talk about a shotgun approach. There's boba, gelato, frozen yogurt, and pastries like cookies and cake. The place is kind of small, but they can probably seat 20 people in here. They have some music going on, but they don't blast it loudly. The sad part is there's not really a TV here. They give some really generous scoops of gelato and samples here. I got to taste 3 small spoons of gelato flavors and was offered a 4th before deciding. They weren't small gelato spoons either. It was regular coffee spoons! That totally rocks! I got the medium gelato expecting they would only fill it to the top of the bowl, but I was totally wrong. They piled it on and made a small mountain on top of it. It was more gelato than I could handle, but the portions were really generous for the price. They have a Blue Bottle Coffee flavor gelato here. That was pretty good. The black sesame seed didn't taste that great. The green tea tasted pretty good. You can get some San Tung items here!!! Chicken wings!!! Ordered the chicken wings without knowing it was from San Tung. When it came, I was like... this looks like San Tung chicken wings... and it tastes really similar. Totally blew my mind for a moment, but it was San Tung chicken wings! Not having to wait over 30 minutes to get some good chicken wings from San Tung is a major plus. There seem to be some noodle dishes and other stuff probably from San Tung also. -
Steven’s 3-star review: Kowloon is your average typical Asian decent house that opens late. The service is terrible, but you just keep coming back since the choices of places opened after 10pm is very limited. Half the people here around midnight are pissed drunk and the other half are people who missed dinner time. Any fruit dessert with ice cream is going to be tasting good no matter what. There's not much to making a dessert with fruits and ice cream. Their eggpuffs are flaky and pretty good. The waffle ice cream sandwich they make is definitely something to try. Besides dessert, they have quite a good menu for hot food such as chicken wings, which are pretty decent. -
Steven’s 3-star review: Takoyaki was pretty average. They were smaller than usual. Roughly the size of a gum ball. The texture and taste were okay. They serve Mitchell's ice cream as part of their menus. I haven't tried the crepes yet. The inside of this place looks really nice. It's kind of a small place with about 20 seats. This place seems to be ran by one person so service can be a bit slow depending on how many people are in there. Prices here are cheaper than usual dessert places. This place is cash only. -
Steven’s 3-star review: Walked by and saw a grand opening special of $1.99 until 6/15/12. That totally caught my attention and before I know it, I was inside and ordering a drink. This place looks like a work in progress literally. There's an area for froyo machines that do not exist. The front counter has what looks like a self service toppings for the drinks, but there's none. There didn't seem to be really any place to sit down on the inside except for about three tables. Did they hurry and open the place? Either they are going to put these in or they just didn't remodel the place. The drinks come made the way they are described. My milk tea tasted alright to me. It didn't have a great impact to me. However, the tapopica balls were fresh and chewy. I'll give this place another shot once a few weeks alter. -
Steven’s 2-star review: My Favorite Cafe is pretty low on the interior design. It looks a cheaply decorated restaurant. This place smells like a dirty mop. The desserts are okay. Ordered the mango pudding and it tasted alright. The pudding's color is a bit faded out. Looks like it may have sat too long. The pudding taste had only a bit of mango. There was real mango chunks on top of the pudding. Overall, it was alright, but I had better.
