MoYo’s Froyo

Wish there were more non-​fat/​fat-​free flavors to choose from! I went with green tea (non-​fat), salted caramel corn (low-​fat), and vanilla (sugar-​free and extremely creamy, so highly unlikely that this was low in fat!) and went a little crazy on the toppings. I’m happy with the topping selection as well, but I wish the candy bars were broken up into smaller pieces. It’s kinda hard to enjoy my froyo with a whole twix bar or reese’s pieces or rice krispy treat, which by the way is an excellent topping if crushed up. And finally the cashier was super unpleasant. She looked ready to bite my head off when I asked for a sample… Oops.

I had three flavors. The best flavor is the Salted Carmel Popcorn! I know it sounds weird for a flavor, but it has a strong good taste of salted Carmel like that of Bi-rite’s salted Carmel ice cream. The next best one is the strong flavor Pumpkin which was nice. It had a few black dots to show nutmeg I am guessing. The green tea has the weakest flavor of all. The boba balls or pop pop some of you call them, I was a bit disappointed in the texture which was too soft for my taste and I couldn’t tell when the ball exploded because I couldn’t taste the flavors of the juice and I couldn’t tell when the ball burst. Of course this is just my subjective point of view. And for you, your experience may be different. But I am just comparing with it with my first experience with a boba ball in a fro-​yo shop. I have had better. The best way to judge if fro-​yo tastes good is to limit your toppings so that you can really taste the fro yo yourself. Added toppings always makes everything tastes good.

Love this place. They have pretty delicious tropical flavors like passionfruit, mango and lychee. I really love combining their mango and original tart. They have a good selection of toppings including fruity pebbles (my favorite). It’s open till late on weekends too.

This is a regular froyo place, but it has the highly-​delicious GREEN TEA FROYO. This stuff tastes like crack. I don’t know how it tastes so good, but oh man.

ok i don’t even know where to start but let me say every time i come to sf japan town this is the place to go to for my fro yo. my very first experience coming here was about 2011. i remember i was with my friends and at that time fro yo was a big hit in the city and in sac as well. i knew at that time i loved to go try different places for fro yo.
welp 4 yrs ago we came to sf japan town to visit because my friends love it here a lot and we all decided we want fro yo. so we walked in and i saw that its not these ordinary classic boring flavors. i mean when i saw the matcha green tea flavor, my eyes popped out big at that time. i didn’t even sample and just went ahead and find the biggest size cup they had and filled that baby up and then next i went and looked at the toppings and somehow fruity pebbles go sooooo good with any flavor and it just gives the fro yo the extra crisp texture. next i always love the plain mochi for the extra chewyness! and at that time they had popping bobas which is shaped like a tapioca and are the same size and when you bite into them the juices pop out. when i knew they had all my favorite things i was in sweet heaven and this become my favorite spot.
Ever since that experience i have made it a habit whenever i come to japan town, i knew i had to stop by here and get some of their fro yo and my flavor of course will be the matcha green tea. so the other day i came here for the cherry blossom festival and i made sure i came here to have some. i also have a friend who doesn’t like the franchise or name brand fro yo such as pink berry or big spoon and she loves little fro yo shops like this and of course i had to show her my spot. my friends all tried it and loved every single bit of their fro yo.
ok so why i love their matcha green tea flavor so much because it does taste like green tea and isn’t too sweet or bitter. its very creamy and natural flavors not too artificial. i really love their recipe to it, i can totally have that every day too. also the flavor is very refreshing and feels light. it settles good in the tummy. also after eating this particular fro yo i don’t feel guilty where i want to go tot he gym and burn it off quick lol… i just love it, and prefer this any day over other fro yo shops and am willing to pay for it too. i spent under 4 bucks for fro yo so its about same price as pink berry which i had a day before this place too so i definitely can say i am updated to price and quality.
the people who work here is also friendly and polite and patient as well. i think good customer service is the way to go. also they have plenty of seating inside the mall outside the shop and finding a spot to sit wasn’t a problem. will be back soon!

Moyo’s Froyo lies right at the center of the mall where it is surrounded by other bakeries and stores. After a quick shop in the stores nearby, a quick sweet fix at Moyo’s fulfills the japantown visit. I usually choose caramel/​chocolate flavors, but today I decided to try the fruitier flavors. I got the peach, strawberry, and lychee froyo. Then I topped it off with lychee, white chocolate chips, fruit like bubbles, and mochi bites. The price is decent. If you’re not frugal with the choices and want to try a little bit of everything like what I did, the price comes out to be in the $ 5 range. The flavor really goes well with the warm San Francisco weather. The shopping center could be a little warmer on a sunny day, so the froyo definitely helped out with the temperature. The lychee, although really heavy, complimented the froyo really well. I will no doubt return and try a different flavor or topping next time.

I came here with my fiancée and tried out out their Mango and Green tea flavors topped with lychee, mango jelly pop pops, strawberries and gummy bears. It was super delicious!!! Their customer service and enviroment was really good. I’m soo coming back to this place on my birthday week vacation next month. I don’t know about you guys but I loved this place!

Basically a Tutti Frutti (there was even a tutti frutti sign on the wall here!) with less flavors. I got the raspberry pomegranate + lychee with sprinkes; the flavors were very sweet, and the lychee tasted almost flavorless. Its froyo is nothing special.
TIP: try the samples.

Great flavors, incl. matcha (green tea) frozen yogurt, but surprisingly minimal options for toppings that are obstructively larger than Halloween sized portions instead of crushed to be maximized throughout all the froyo. A tad bit disappointing given that it’s also hard to find (tip: enter off Buchanan street into the «west» shopping plaza”).

Used to be a regular here. Had frequent flyer card, etc. But recent poor customer service experience put me off and they’re off my list.
Had a few tastes and then bought 3 orders for my family. Decided after a cup of coffee that I wanted some too. Went back in (while family is still eating the 3 orders in front of the store) to taste what I wanted, but was rejected because we went over the ‘limit’ of free tastes.
I understand the limit of abusing free tastes, but we tasted in order to buy. I just bought three and you know I was going to buy another… pissed me off, so I left and they will not get me back for tastes or purchases.

This was a wonderful dessert option in the Japantown mall area, especially when the other sweet treat shops were overly crowded in the aftermath of the Ramen Festival.
Yogurtland will remain my favorite froyo spot, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors at MoYo’s. There were around 8 different FLAVORS, ranging from tart fruity choices (plain, mango, blueberry, etc.) to more indulgent creamy ones (chocolate, vanilla, coffee, etc.). My froyo philosophy is to always go for the fruit flavors because they just taste better in froyo form. And the plain flavor is nothing plain — very light, refreshing, and just the right amount of acidity. The texture of all the flavors are very smooth.
What really won me over were the abundant TOPPING CHOICES — lots of fruit, different mochis, candies galore, various cookies (including whole madeleines), and my favorite… jellies! Like the little jellies you get in boba drinks. My favorites are the coffee jellies and lychee bubbles.
There was a line but it moved speedily along. The layout of the store allows you to loop around to get your froyo before paying at the cashier. I love efficiency!
Although the price is a teeny bit more expensive (~ $ 0.39 /​oz.), everything tastes great and I would come back again when I’m in the area.
Come grab a bowl of froyo and enjoy it in the mall or out in Peace Plaza!

The flavors here are pretty good. There’s only 6 but they’re tasty. The cup sizes are pretty average, a little bigger than the ones I see when I get frozen yogurt. There aren’t too many topping either. The price is a bit more than I thought it would be. But the employee seemed nice.

I love the flavors here… especially lychee, taro & green tea froyo. They had kumquat flavor yesterday, but I didn’t try it.
The mochi topping & flavored bubbles are great too.
They have a card that you can get stamped to work towards a free yogurt.
I have always found the employees here to be nice on my several visits!

The chubby girl with glasses named Carla is a total BITCH. I usually give very generous reviews but this person does not belong in a customer service position. They have a rule of only 2 samples per person which is ridiculous because there are several different flavors and I wanted to try another flavor before I buy it. They said only 2 samples allowed per person and I made a comment that I have never heard of a froyo place having a max of 2 samples and that this was ridiculous.
With such terrible customer service this place won’t be around for long. Carla is a Terrible person and I would never ever support this business ever. Carla spoke back to me in a VERY RUDE manner and practically berated me. I’m sorry but if you’re in the service industry and want to keep customers you should NEVER ever talk to them in such a terrible manner.
There are MANY other frozen yogurt places where I would rather spend my money. I highly suggest you don’t waste your time or money here. If you read the other reviews there are several other people who had the same terrible service I did. Do not waste your time or money here. Trust me.

Totally over this place after the bitch working here asked me if I actually planned on buying yogurt when I asked her if I could get a sample. UM WHAT? Never again. Blacklisted.

YAY 4 Green Tea froyo! Even though I had some froyo yesterday, as soon as I spotted the green tea froyo flavor sign, I did a double take and then happily skipped into the little froyo shoppe. (Okay maybe I didn’t skip, but I imagined myself doing so.
FROYO
–What would have made me ACTUALLY skip was if they had a Green Tea *TART* flavor! But no biggie, I put my creative juices to use and mixed their Green Tea flavor (it tastes just like green tea icecream, I highly recommend if you love matcha flavored desserts. I just particularly like my green tea froyo to be tart ;)) with their regular Original Tart flavor. So yummmm!
–They also had a Lychee flavor which I did not get to try. Next time!
–Lots of topping choices — candies, fruit, cereal, etc.
–45cents/​ounce. Not super cheap, but cheaper than Easy Breezy. I wish there was a high demand in Froyo here in SF to drive down these prices. I’ve had it twice in two days now… froyo is just so good! AM I RIGHT?!

I am actually surprised by the high rating of this place. At first glance, it is nothing impressive. Just your typical Asian froyo joint, but even more expensive than Yogurtland at 49cents/​ounce (according to previous reviews, this number seems to be forever increasing).
There is a worker who holds the key to the samples. You have to ask her to sample each flavor, and only then, does she give you a teensy bit. No complaints though, at least there are even samples.
After a while, all the flavors kinda taste the same. They were super sweet and a bit too icy and not as creamy as I would’ve liked. Green tea and tart were my faves.
They offer a good variety of toppings, but I wish the chocolate toppings were broken into smaller pieces. There were WHOLE Twix/​KitKat/​etc. bars as «toppings»…
I only came here because I really wanted froyo and this was the only place around in the plaza. Sad.

Fro-​yo can be dangerous on your pocket
If you’re sweet on this treat.
Even in San Francisco when you don’t need to beat the heat.
There are eight flavors of frozen yogurt and plenty of toppings.
Full pieces of candy, syrups, fruit and chocolate chips.
Forget what they said about a moment on the lips.
The smallest bowl is huge, enough for two to eat.
Before you fill it up with goodies and are cashier bound.
Remember its pay by the pound.

Yums taro flavor! Couldn’t really taste the green tea even when I super-​channeled my focus.
One tasting cup at a time served by a lady who was mopping the floor at the same time, seemed kind of inefficient and also a little weird to me, but then again they only have like 8 flavors.

MoYo’s Froyo is inside the Kintetsu Building (now just called the West Buidling) in San Francisco’s Japan town (Nihon Machi) center.
It is a PYOFY place (Pour Your Own FroYo) with several machines, and thus several flavors.
Nothing remarkable about the FroYo, except that it is really the only PYOFY FroYo place between here and Pacific Heights.
I am assuming that MoYo might be a chopped and merged name that is popular in Japan with stars.
A lot of people here in the US think that P. Diddy naming J. Lo was the first to do this type of branding. But actually, a long time ago in Japan, they were doing this, with popular stars like KimiTaku (Actor, Singer, former SMAP Boy Band heart throb Kimura Takuya).
So MoYo could be someone like Morita Yoji or something like that. Who knows?
When I came in here recently, there was a little CosPlay (Costume Play) Animé (Animation) event happening in the J-​Town center later, so the girl working behind the counter had her cute Animé CosPlay outfit on, which is perfect for a FroYo place that is PYOFY, regardless of if you are J. Lo or KimiTaku. I couldn’t tell if she was real, Caucasian, Asian, or what!
Makes you want to make a V with the fingers on both hands, smile, and take a picture, and later draw graphics all around it!
FroYo Wanugee here, you know you love me!
