Hilarious flavors sometimes!! Inside was cozy and chic. You place your order with the screen and then they prepare it for you in the back behind the counter. Some of the drink names are wild! I ordered the period pad and it was the best period pad I've ever tasted!

This Yaya Tea is a convenient spot to visit when you want a quick bite. I love the crawfish riceballs and the yaya chicken. The drinks are good too and I enjoy getting the first love with mango star. This spot is usually packed however, the line moves quick and they added the kiosks in store to improve this.

The store doesn’t open on time, with no one in sight for it to open either

To be honest... Food is great and such .. the only thing that bothered me was when I retrieved my order... The employee gave me a judging look due to the size of my order (it wasn't all for me btw)...Honestly I prefer the one on Grand St since the workers are a little more friendly...

I like to come here once in a while to get some boba and rice balls. I've only had their fruity drinks and they're really good. My personal favorites from here would be the blue blood and the spam rice ball. Next time I will try their matcha latte to see if it's good.

Came here with some friends on Sunday around noon. The boba shop is small and built for pickup, there's no seating at all. They have 2 kiosks for ordering and when we went there were very few people. I got the Kawaii Smile (Mango Lychee Passionfruit White Tea) with Yogurt Popping boba. The drink was very good, and I liked the combination of mango and lychee. I should've gotten 50% sugar but it still was very tasty. However, almost all of the boba was pre-popped! There were only ~5 non-popped popping bobas, the rest of the boba was just the flavorless shell part. Maybe I should've gotten a more popular topping but this is the first time I've ever seen this happen.

Loved the female worker assisting me. I came here for a late afternoon snack on Sunday 10/15 and didn't know what to get cause I wanted everything. The staff had blackish grayish hair(it was very pretty) and she described to me what each riceball tasted like patiently. Like I had a million questions which was annoying but she answered each one of them with a smile and very detailed. She even gave me recommendations from what I told her I was craving. I also was looking to get a tea but didn't want caffeine, but didn't know what their herbal teas tasted like and she was also able to describe each of the teas so that I could understand them clearly. There were a few customers in the store, so I expected a wait time, but her service was quick. The drinks were coming out one after the other. I will be coming back because of the female staff that assisted me. The food was amazing, props to the staff recommending me to get a spicy mayo to bring out the flavors of the riceball.

Very poor service, did not confirm the order of the front desk staff, I got the wrong order, very disappointed!

It took me almost 30 mins to come here just to hear “the kitchen is closed” even though it was not 8pm yet…

It took about 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge I was inside and the taro tea that I ordered tasted very watered down and wasn’t even cold. I will never go back

They used to be better Pre-pandemic. They used to have tables you could at with your friends and eat/drink their food. Now, the store looks dirty & the atmosphere is not welcoming due to boxes everywhere unkept, the tables are sidelined for storage etc. the onigiri are not worth the price anymore.

green apple flavor!!! i love ?? the onigiri was soo expensive. i got 4 onigiri and it was $30 ? i liked the tempura crab meat onigiri. i didnt like the seaweed one. their takoyaki onigiri was mid but tempura always wins

ok bubble tea, i recommend if you’re in the area. tapioca is a flavourless/not super fresh. onigiri is made fresh, which is really nice.

Do not order from Uberats here. They did not include my drink when I order here and i try calling them 2-3x as well as paying extra for priority delivery.
