Yaya Tea is one of my favorite places to get a quick, fulfilling snack when I’m at work! I love that they have crawfish onigiri (it’s probably my favorite out of all the ones I tried) and their Thai iced tea is soooo good! Def a must try 🫶🏾

Great tea and a nice respite from all the noise of the city. Flavors are pumped but tasty, and I loved the strongly flavored lychee nata. The onigiri is also tasty, nicely sized, and tastes fresh. Prices are a good deal for 2025, about $5.50 per drink plus tip/tax. The interior is cool and calm with a few tables and a lovely minimalist aesthetic.

Great tea at a good price! The guy working accidentally gave me a small instead of a large, but totally understandable since I was ordering so close to closing time. He was super apologetic and kind enough to remake it for me.

The tea and rice balls here are so yummy 😋 I had to come back multiple times during my trip because it was so good! I loved the shrimp tempura onigiri and the I love yaya tea. Will def be back!

Three choices for vegan onigiri.

Super good boba! Me- i hate when my drink is FULL of ice, because that means i get barely any drink and Yaya did not disappoint!!! They put the perfect amount of ice, and my drink had a few/little pieces when i was done so that was good. On top of that, drink was good, came out fast, and the people there were nice. Do recommend!

Super yummy! The jasmine tea was very fragrant and the rice ball was the best I’ve had yet. :) The barista was very sweet!

The best bubble tea in Chinatown! They also have great onigiri.

I absolutely love Yaya Tea! Their riceballs and drinks are seriously next level. My go-to riceballs are the Crawfish and Japanese — both are packed with flavor and always super fresh. You can really taste the quality in every bite.
And don’t even get me started on their drinks — the Sweet Temptation with Lychee and Aloe is my favorite! It’s the perfect balance of fruity and refreshing, and the aloe adds such a nice texture.
Every visit feels like a treat, and the service is always friendly and fast. Yaya Tea never disappoints!

I should’ve taken a picture before we dug in. I wasn’t planning on reviewing this place, but after taking that first bite, I just had to!! The yakisoba was absolutely delicious, it tasted similar to chicken teriyaki but with its own blend of flavors and the noodles had a very nice consistency. I would definitely recommend this dish paired with your bubble tea!
The best onigiri ever I loveeee the yaya shrimp and crawfish one yum!!!

as noted, it was great to see three vegan onigiri options. i’m not sure if they have dairy alternatives for milk but they do have fun fruit tea options. they’re supportive of the community and the staff is great. if they had/have dairy-free milk, it would be a go-to.

the girl working today (3/22) did not have the best customer service
when i asked her if my order was ready yet, she responded with attitude. and when i asked for a bag for my drink, she just threw the bag towards me..

Onigiris are very expensive but delicious. The drinks disappointed me :( I only recommend onigiris. I've shopped more than three times here

I paid extra for Thé tapioca but they forgot to put in! It was a to go so too late so only found out when I got home.
