Kissako Tea - Reviews

My experience at this cute little place was centered around their origini riceball. While the concept was appealing, I found that the rice was wayyyyyy more than the stuff in between.

My experience here was centered around their matcha monaka, which was good. A notable detail was the inside coating of chocolate, which effectively kept the monaka dry and crispy.

I visited this restaurant twice on weekends and encountered a consistent long line, typically around 10 minutes. The establishment gives off an authentic vibe and offers a wide variety of onigiri and mochi, both of which appear to be popular. The main selling point is that the food is always made fresh, evident from the hot onigiri served and a shorter wait time of about 6 minutes. While I enjoyed the mochi for its soft and smooth texture, I wasn't as impressed with the onigiri. The spicy sauce for the spicy tuna was overpowering and lacked creaminess, making it difficult to taste the tuna. I also felt the rice to fish ratio was too high.

My experience involved ordering the spicy unagi onigiri ($4. 80) and fruit mochi ($4. 35). Unfortunately, the onigiri was predominantly plain rice with a very minimal unagi filling, making it not worth the high price. The fruit mochi had an artificial taste. Despite the long lines this place attracts, the quality did not live up to the hype. This was one disappointing visit, and it was enough for me.

My experience was with their onigiris, which were good! They are conveniently individually wrapped, just like you'd find at a Japanese convenience store. The service was quick and the price was low for a snack. However, be aware that it gets very busy. Even during a slow weekday, with them constantly making onigiris, I still waited about 10 minutes with around 10 customers ahead of me. I super recommend it!

My overall experience at this place was decent. We tried two types of rice onigiri: okaka (bonito flakes) and tenmusu (shrimp tempura). They were pretty good and freshly made, but I felt they could have used more flavor. We also sampled the mochi. The berry mochi had an artificial flavor, which was a bit disappointing, but the haru mochi were good.

My experience at this restaurant was awful. I had to wait 30 minutes for a tiny, overpriced matcha. I would avoid this place at all costs.

My experience at the restaurant was marked by a significant wait time for the Takoyaki, which took up to 30 minutes. Additionally, I did not receive a utensil, which was inconvenient.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The Onigiri were definitely worth the money and were made fresh. However, the Takoyaki were a disappointment; they had way too much sauce, were mushy, and not nicely cooked. The Matcha was also a letdown, described as watery and bitter, lacking the expected umami-bitter-sweet flavor, and overpriced compared to other places. The worker was friendly, but it was clear she was overwhelmed, having to manage orders and send them out alone. The place is dirty, with sticky tables, and the overall atmosphere of the mall felt like a sad afterthought.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I particularly enjoyed the fruit mochi, which was delicious, fresh, and a pleasure to eat, not being too sweet. The onigiri, specifically the spicy shrimp and mayo and unagi varieties, were excellent. Thank you for a great meal!
