J.sweets

I LOVE the mochi ice cream from J. Sweets.My favorite flavor is the Double Mango. I have been going here for years and I tell everyone about it. NOTe: The Mochi is sold frozen and it takes 20 minutes to thaw.

Very friendly staff :)The Mochi Creams are so soft, fresh, and authentic Japanese Mochi. These come frozen, but once thawed in 15 minutes or so, they are ready to enjoy and will be the softest thing you've ever bit into! Matcha is my favorite and my friend loves the Double Mango, but all the flavors I've tried are amazing!Great gift as well as they offer cute boxes available for purchase.

The MochiCreams are delicious! Every time I order a Milk Tea next door, I always grab a MochiCream from J Sweets while I wait for my drink. The Mochi is frozen when you first get them so they recommend you wait 30 minutes to eat them. When you do..... It's just the perfect soft mochi texture and flavor. It's not too strong in flavor, just a nice mild taste. I love it. I've tried the: Strawberry Shortcake, Double Mango and Sakura. My favorite is the Strawberry Shortcake, it tastes soo good! A definite must try. Thank you J Sweets for the MochiCreams!

Our first time trying Mochi here, so good! They're not that expensive in my opinion and so soft, not too sweet flavors. I tried the peach, cherry blossom and mango. All were so good and lightly fragrant. I'm not sure if it was because we came close to closing but it was a bit off that they gave us the mochis frozen. Once they defrosted and softened though... they're really good, great quality. The service was polite and nice, I will be back to buy more.

Picked up some wafers here - very expensive but it was good. Also got their Mochis, ordered 6 flavors and got 2 of each flavor. Red bean, matcha, black sesame, peach, strawberry, and I forgot the last flavor lol.Tucked inside the Japanese supermarket.

The Mochi Cream assortment of flavors are unique and they're a great dessert on a hot day. Colorful and delicious, making them a good fresh food gift or as a treat for yourself. They're served frozen so you'll need to give it about 5-10 minutes to get softer before eating.

I was at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Irvine back in Oct 2021. Whenever I'm at any Mitsuwa, my go-to are Santouka Ramen and J.sweets if they exist because not all Mitsuwa have them (San Gabriel location doesn't have the restaurants and shops which is a bummer because I live closest to SG). I've been to Mitsuwa in Torrance and Costa Mesa so I thought I try their Irvine location.Anyway, this review is on J.sweets so let's get back to it... I've at least tried 19 of their mochi flavors... my 4 favorite mochis are below. They are my go-to. There are a few honorable ones, but I won't mention them here. =)1. Raspberry Mille-Feuille (my #1 fav!... just delightful and yummy!)2. Apple Pie (my #2 fav!... it must be the crunch!)3. Double Mango (my #3 fav!... a lovely mango... very tasty!)4. Sakura (my #4 fav!... a nice cherry flavor!)Each mochi is about $2.20 - $2.30. I usually buy 8 of each every time... so do the math LOL. I'm walking out with about $70+ of mochi LOL. By the way, they do come frozen so make sure you place them in the freezer after you get home. You may leave a few out to defrost for dessert. =)Staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Always with a smile. Parking is plenty as it is located at a large shopping center.Give J.sweets a try at any of their locations either Costa Mesa (medium size store), Irvine (very small store and they don't carry my #1 fav... bummer!), or Torrance (biggest store compared to the other two). Happy Mochi'ing!

Small mochi shop located inside the Mitsuwa on Culver. I almost missed it because it's sharing a space with Royce chocolates. I only noticed this Mochi shop because my son loves mochi. Got several different flavors to try - caramel, chocolate, strawberry shortcake, mango, sesame, and red bean. They recommend you wait 15 minutes before eating so that it softens, and once it does... it is really delicious. Store bought mochis don't compare. Soft tender Mochi on the outside with creamy ice cream on the inside. My personal favorite was red bean, and my kids loved the mango and strawberry ones.

Reviews for this place can also be found under "Royce" (yep, another "double listed" business on Yelp). This store is located inside Mitsuwa next to the food court. This review is only for the mochi creams and not for the Royce brand chocolate sold here. I stopped by here a couple months ago after doing some shopping at Mitsuwa; it was something like 10:58am and they are scheduled to open at 11am. There were two workers behind the counter and I asked to purchase a few mochi creams. "We're not open yet." So I left.After eating at the food court tonight I decided to get a couple mochi creams for dessert. I purchased two: a chocolate and a caramel pudding. The employee was pleasant but never spoke a word except to tell me my total.The creams were individually wrapped and visually appealing, especially the dark dusting over the chocolate one. The chocolate was too frozen to bite into initially so I waited a bit. It was okay - the chocolate flavor was too mild. The caramel pudding was excellent. The mochi was soft and the caramel was sweet and vibrant in flavor.A good but somewhat pricey treat.

I recently visited this spot with no expectations and left thoroughly impressed! The mochi treats were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The customer service was also great!
