Amazing hot pot! This was my first time trying something like this and it was delicious. We had the tom yum and curry hotpot. It came with veggie, meat/fish sides that you cook in the broth. Kind of like an Asian fondue!
Their boba is ok, but the food is excellent and hit the spot on a cold rainy night!

They don’t allow service animal.

I got their Yo milk boba tea today and I highly recommend and would recommend all of my friends here! The boba is chewy and soft, not hard like other stores. I would say this I’d the most freshest boba in Pittsburgh :) The egg tarts are also baked daily and have a fresh crust to them— will be back for more! ❤️❤️

The grilled fish was too unpalatable. It was deep-fried and not freshly fried. It was obviously stale and the re-fried fish could not be picked up even in a small piece because it was too hard. All the dishes during our meal were just re-fried. It was delivered to the table within a few minutes of placing the order, and the meat was very hard. The quail eggs in the grilled fish were bad, the cuts of the cabbage were black, and the enoki mushrooms were also off-flavored. The chicken in the pineapple fried rice had a strange smell. The fried chicken with garlic was me. I forgot what it was called, but it smelled sour. The menu didn't specify how much rice was served with each dish, so we ordered one bowl of rice and four bowls were served (grilled fish was served with rice. Who would have thought that fried chicken also comes with rice?? ) It’s all wasted and not worth the price at all.

Stopped in to try the bubble tea. We ended up getting the Osmanthus Fermented Rice Milk
Tea & Fresh Mashed Taro Milk Black Tea w. Mochi. We got them with the sweetness it came with (I believe it comes with 50% sweetness) to see how it was, probably will get it sweeter next time but still impressed by the flavor. The food smelled so good in there we also decided to try the curry fish balls and added udon noodles. Sooooo glad we did, I’m obsessed! Will definitely come back for a hot pot! And more bubble tea of course!

Parking: Hard to find parking, had to park far and walk. Worth it though!

Very good! I had the lunch bento box # 2, a brown sugar boba tea, and the creme brulee. They were all amazing! Every single item in the bento was amazing! I especially loved the curry fish balls. Really glad I tried this place out!

I’ve been in Pittsburgh for a 2 years and Yotea has quickly become my go-to spot. The food is nothing short of excellent, with every dish bursting with flavor and made with care from the most humble chef. Whether you’re in the mood for something light or a hearty meal, Yotea’s menu has something for everyone. They have excellent boba and hotpot!

What truly sets Yotea apart, though, is the warm and welcoming service. Lily and Sam are incredibly sweet and always goes above and beyond to make sure every visit is memorable. They add their personality when they serve you and make you feel right at home.

Great location, the service was excellent. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but it's Pittsburgh, so what do you expect. I will return!
