The new mango matcha recipe is barely sweet & more like a puree than a syrup/jammy flavour. As a matcha fan who's been a loyal customer for months, I found this drink to be barely drinkable which is the first time I can say this about a matcha from here. Please bring back the old version!!!!

high traffic for students ! but to me that just means its probably cheap & good 😂 solid bowl of udon, nothing crazy, & nice selection of drinks. Quite small so can get full quite fast depending on when you go.

Food & drinks were great. Went early weekday during winter & was not too busy.

they have lots of seating available so you're always sure to have a spot! the food tastes great & there's a diverse selection of drinks on the menu that ranges from teas to lattes. my personal go-to is the passion fruit black tea, which is amazing during summer.

i've encountered a couple minor problems like staff not calling out my order when it was finished so i had to wait 20mins for a drink before i had to ask them myself, but nothing too dramatic.

mcgill students also get discounts :)

Nice & refreshing menu. The food was delicious, but not something I would come back for. Our'don' bowl had 70-80% rice & significantly smaller portions than the other places I have tried. The drinks were standard, have had better matcha. Also, if you expect tip for counter service, at least put up a happy face or place the food on the table in a'gentler' way

The food portion is relatively small for the price, especially the udon was pretty small. The drinks are more reasonable, I would recommend the drinks more than the food. The rice had a lot of rice on the bottom but little topping.

On the plus side, there was plenty of seating available on a Saturday afternoon, & the staff were friendly & welcoming.

So I got a super cursed matcha latte from them this morning. The matcha itself was good, tastes the same as Starbucks'. But the lid couldn't close properly because the edge of the cup was for some reason indented all around, & I didn't realize this until I took a sip & it spilled on me. I tried to drink it without the lid & obviously knock over the cup. I also don't like how there's almost no option to not tip. Overall wouldn't buy from them again.

Food is extremely good & good location, that is why i go. However it has been not only one time but 3 time there is something wrong with my order experience. I believe either the staff are unexperienced or there is not enough staff. Indeed, the first time i went they gave me a cold drink when I clearly mentioned hot. The Second time, i ordered the same drink cuz it taste good but it was wayy to sweet. Good thing is i believe the employee knew she made a mistake & saw my face so she made me a new one. Third time i asked before ordering how long it would take as they were busy, employee told me 10-15minute. I waited 30 minute & asked the employee just to realize the food was ready & hidden behind the counter but they just didn't make my machine beep to go take it.

ordered omurice & it unfortunately just made me miss japan. none of that gooey center, more like a badly cooked omelette on plain rice & watered down gravy.

yuzu matcha had too much yuzu, to the point that the matcha was barely palatable. the yuzu was nice, but it overwhelmed the drink.

otherwise, the atmosphere is very nice. the music is nice & calming, but too loud for my taste.
