Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts - Torrance

I suppose the people are going here for the chestnuts. I can't imagine they're coming for everything. I came to boba. but their selection is very limited. their military selection is also very limited. I got a cocosnus walk and a matcha tea latte. the donut was ice cold and it was not very good, and the matcha was small with usually ice and tasted like nothing but icey milk. I can't believe I paid $10. just that she's not good either. I think they're a little overpriced and I'll never be back. if they have a tonne of good quality boba places on boba tee.

One of the few locations anywhere to sell roasted chestnuts. It's also probably your only pick if you happen to want a Montblanc. Overall, I really like the chestnuts here. If you're just looking for a mildly sweet and earthy snack, the roasted chestnuts are a great pick. The Montblanc is quite nice and I appreciate that they use a noodle presser to make the strings like they would in Japan. I've definitely experienced a few Montblancs in the north where they skip that step and it does take away from the texture. Would recommend getting some matcha tea to pair with the sweetness of the cake.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 got the tiramisu and chestnut flavored donut. The tiramisu overall was good but the chestnut purée was extremely sweet. We got only about halfway through before it was too much. The donut has a subtle flavor but was dry and almost crumbly Ambience: 5/5 very cute and cozy store. The tatami mat area is blocked off but there is a table outside to sit at Service: 2/5 very quick and efficient service but the gentleman seemed like he did not want to be there and that we were interrupting whatever he was doing in the back of the store Value for price: 3/5 not terribly expensive but unfortunately we didn?t care too much for the desserts

There?s roasted chestnuts in the US?! Sign me up! Came for the roasted chestnuts, stayed for the chestnut and vanilla soft serve and the chestnut cheesecake (mont blanc). Skip the chestnut cookie. Even the roasted chestnuts were just ok, far inferior to what I grew up eating in Shanghai.

Wow! My parents and in laws love chest nuts so through out the years by default I've become accustomed to various chestnuts. My wife and I decided to drop by after dinner and I was blown away by their chestnuts. I especially enjoy the Kyoto chestnut, it has such a robust sweet nutty buttery flavor that I couldn't just eat one. My wife had the chestnut boba and I had the chestnut latte. Both of which were good, both had a rich nutty flavor to it. Seating is tight as there is limited space in the store. Parking and also be difficult. Great place to get something healthy and different, looking forward to coming back real soon.
