Uji Time Dessert,

1679B Willow Pass Rd, Concord, CA 94520, United States

"You must try their Ube soft serve but personally won’t recommend the taiyaki - does not taste fresh. The crepe was frozen and we were told to wait 10 minutes before eating it. And we preferred the soft serve vs the hard ice cream. Our fave hard ice cream was White Peach."

"My first visit to an Uji Time was to the SF Japantown location. I thought it was OK, but I've became a fan after visiting the San Mateo location, and was able to buy pints of Ice Cream there. I was sad they closed the San Mateo location. I'm glad I stumbled upon this one in Concord. I do wish we had a closer location in the South Bay. #Sugar: ~ Black Sesame & Vanilla Cola Swirl - 3/5. This one is tough! Individually both flavors are brilliant, however they don't work well in a Swirl. The Black Sesame dominates and overpowers the Vanilla Cola, as it's a much lighter flavor. The Vanilla Cola has a pleasant light mix of cola and Vanilla, not like Vanilla Coke; that's a Coke flavor I can't stand. I should have ordered the Vanilla Cola by itself ~ Uji Special - Matcha Red Bean - 3/5 Interesting little treat. Waffles on a Skewer with filling, except they most definitely forgot to put the Red Bean inside and my friends ate half of it before I had a chance to tell the staff about it."

"Ice cream taiyaki was not that good at all. Match ice cream was too bitter, would recommend getting honey with it if you order the matcha ice cream. The taiyaki was cold and tasteless. The red bean filling was literally just that, a small scoop of cold red beans inside the cold tasteless taiyaki. The selection of toppings was not appealing at all. Not to mention, the wooden spoons they give you taste rlly bad and made the ice cream end up tasting worse. They were difficult to use as they were flat pieces of wood with no spoon shaped dip to scoop up ice cream. Only good thing was that the service was incredibly fast but the lack of quality in food shows."

"Was on my way to Martinez and my friend sends me a message asking if I've tried a place called Uji Time in Concord. Well needless to say, I went after we were done with what we were doing. I ordered a black sesame taiyaki cone in a cup, my son ordered their seasonal Ume flavor with a cookie stick and pocky. Both of us got the Nutella filling. Both cost $8 each. At first I was a little meh with the price but it was actually quite a lot of ice cream. Not many places can get away with charging Cold Stone prices. I will say, the black sesame started giving me heart burn while I was eating it which was weird. The ume was good but honestly way too sweet for me to want to eat a full serving of it. Towards the end of our ice cream, I also ordered a serving of gyoza. Fried to absolute perfection and served with sauce and little picks to share. I honestly preferred the gyoza to the ice cream. A little sad they don't sell taiyaki on their own. The taiyaki also isn't like a full sized taiyaki. It's about half sized and open so it can be used as a cone. While the filling is free, you don't actually get much because it is open. The place is a bit small but they have multiple tables, including a larger table, as well as a bathroom. But here's the kicker. For 2 ice creams and a serving of gyoza, with tax was just over $30. Yikes. Gyoza 10/10 Black Sesame Ice Cream 6/10 Taiyaki 7/10 Restaurant 8/10"

"I've been to a different location of this chain and it's always good! I was definitely excited when they opened one up here! I got 10% off my order after having dinner next door at tasty pot. The jasmine mochi ice cream was really good! My friend got the tayaki with same ice cream and she really enjoyed it. Cute atmosphere, but not many tables. I would definitely come back and recommend to others!"
