Best tea that I've had in the Bay Area. You can tell their ingredients are really fresh and good quality. I hope they never change. They have a huge selection so I cannot speak for every tea, but would chose this over other popular tea places like Boba Guys, Happy Lemon, Teaspoon, Bober Tea, etc.

This is my go to boba spot in the area. Ambiance is nice and clean. Staff is friendly. Great food options and drinks as well. Creme brûlée is so good!

Their drink is awesome. I ordered the guava pineapple tea and it was so delicious and refreshing. They got the amount of sugar and ice level as requested.

I’ve been here multiple times. The owner is very friendly. The drinks are really good. The smoothies are my favorite.
Cute little place with a large menu. They have a little bit of everything here. I love the variety! I only came here to get a taro boba drink but I definitely want to come back and try their food. They were very busy but I still got my drink quickly. The lady was very nice taking my order and gave me some suggestions. The taro tea was great.

Located in front of the transit center for Diablo Valley College. It is well hidden in an empty shopping lot with a Mexican resturant. Plenty of safe parking. The ambiance is nice with a couch and natural lighting. It gives a chic and clean enviornment while entering the space. I came in on a Friday afternoon and the crowd was mostly young college students that I assume from DVC. Early gray milk tea: I ordered 50% sweetness with less ice. I appreciate the calculator to show that less ice is less than 80% full of ice. It's a good balance between the natural tea, caffeine, and powder. The tapioca is soft. Spicy miso ramen: I need to come back for the curry ramen ( not available yet while posting this). The spicy ramen was well portioned. Perfectly spicy. It came with a huge spoon and great quality chopsticks. I'm usually hesitant if a boba shop sells ramen because the food is usually not great. This ramen was above my expectations It left me full for the entire day. Which is good because ramen is supposed to be heavy. The only complaint I might have is the oil. ( thats being overly picky from a ramen enthusiast) Other than that, I appreciate the unique flavors the shop has like shrimp and katsu udon. Overall, I am picky because I used to live in San Jose Ca. This place brings back the memories of college with excellent drinks and food. If you need a quick lunch after finals or class, I highly recommend this place.

Came to try their ramen, but also grabbed boba tea and chicken wings. Wow! I wasn't expecting their ramen to be amazing, but it was. Ordered the tonkatsu and the broth was full of flavor, pork and egg, perfectly cooked, and size was bigger than expected, very shareable. Boba was great, per usual, as were the chicken wings. This is one of the only boba spots where you can actually have dinner because everything off their menu is both delicious and filling. Service is always great here and space kept clean and tidy.
Compared to when they weren't busy last year, there are less fruits and toppings in drinks. This is true especially for fruit teas and popping bobas. This place will probably be busy anyway due to being close to a college. Wish the drinks were as good as they used to be.

So happy that this new spot opened up near me! It's a cute place with a good amount of seating. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the drinks. I've gotten the Fresh Strawberry Mango Fruit tea twice and like how it's flavorful without being too sweet. I've also tried their popcorn chicken and calamari. I wish I could adjust the spice for the popcorn chicken but still thought it was pretty good. The calamari was a little salty but overall tasted fresh and crispy. Employees were nice and my drinks came out quickly. I'm definitely going to come back to try more of their drinks and food.

Been a few times now and still rating 5 stars because the customer service has always been excellent. A few misses with some of the things we ordered in our later visits, but I imagine it's just a personal preference. 1. tonkatsu ramen -- a common issue I have with most ramen is that I find them too salty and cannot eat more than half the bowl because of it. Such is the case here unfortunately. However, my husband is less sensitive to salt and enjoyed it. Aside from the saltiness, I found it a bit lacking in broth flavor. Yes, the broth was rich due to the cream they add (a nice touch), but the only flavors I got were the richness from the cream, salt, and the oil. There wasn't a strong bone-simmering-for-hours flavor. Ok but not as good as my go-to place. 2. fried oysters -- hard to go wrong with these. Perfectly fried here, although the oysters themselves were fairly small. 3. passionfruit tea with jelly & boba -- very refreshing. I almost always get 0% or 30% sweetness with my boba drink, but even at 100%, I didn't find this grossly sweet (though I still would've preferred it less sweet -- but it was my husband's drink). The jelly paired perfectly with the drink. I've become a boba snob (thanks to another boba place) and didn't care too much for the boba pearls. They were decent, I've just had better, and I think this particular drink would've been better without the boba. 4. avocado smoothie with boba -- total fail for both me & hubby. 50% sweetness was still too sweet for me, but the killer was that there really wasn't much avocado flavor. Also would've preferred it without the boba. I ended up giving it to my sister's little kids. I still consider Junenov a happy place to visit and look forward to trying out more fun things.

Junenov Tea is one of the best boba places in the area!! I haven't tried that many of their drinks, but everything I've tried has been pretty good. - Strawberry Mango Fruit Tea 4/5: Really liked that they use fresh fruit!! It was too sweet for me, so I would maybe do less sweet for this drink. Overall pretty yummy and the tea was good quality. - Jasmine Boba Milk Tea 4/5: Pretty average milk tea and boba. Not bad, but not life changing haha. I think it's pretty good compared to other chains in the area. - Seasoned Calamari 4.5/5: YURMMM. I really like their calamari, but some days it is not cooked as well and has too much coating. Other days it is delicious, crispy, and not too salty. - Japanese Egg Tofu 5/5: MY FAVORITE ON THE MENU!! Sometimes I will come in to only buy egg tofu. Soft and crispy and has yummy sauce and bonito flakes Probably the only place in the area that serves this dish. You can ask for no sauce or Japanese Mayo if you do not like them. - Pork Dumpling in Chili Peanut Sauce 5/5: This one really surprised me... I didn't expect it to be so good. Skin on the dumplings was not too thick and it was the perfect saltiness. Not too spicy either and the peanut sauce wasn't overly thick. - Chicken Katsu Onigiri 4.5/5: Very tasty. The egg inside is sooo good. Chicken was crispy. Only minus .5 because it's very difficult to eat because of how it's put together. Service: Good service! Pretty fast and always nice! Ambiance: Good place to do work. I see a lot of people doing work here and it is very clean. They play NewJeans a lot. :D Parking: Lots of available parking right outside the shop :-) Will be back to munch!!
