Okay drinks, okay service and ambiance was little grungy? Needs some revamping. There are better places around town to come to this spot again. One more thing, this place is called BobaYolo but it's not a boba shop by all means. read more

I initially thought this place a boba cafe, but it turned out to be a Korean snack bar (boonshik) that sells boba. After glancing through the menu, there were so many items that I would love to try. I love how they have so many combo selections. Variety is key. I also loved how almost everything on the menu is catered toward a wider audience. I can introduce these meals to my non-ethnic friends, and they would not have any issues finishing the meal. WHAT I ORDERED: Ddukboki + Kimbab (Spicy Rice Cake + Veggie Roll) Combo. Milk Tea Boba. I settled in for the combo above. The barista/cashier asked which rice cake I wanted. I opted for the Rose Spicy Rice Cake, which is similar to a vodka sauce (a little bit of red and white). The spice level was mild, which I loved. The food also served with pickled radish. Feeling healthy, I ordered the Veggie/Fish Cake Kimbab. The size of the roll as big as a silver dollar and with 8 long cuts. I loved how it was jammed packed with so many quality ingredients inside. The dish was also quite tasty. The Milk Tea was standard. How do I describe it? It gets a passing grade. As I am scrolling down the reviews on Yelp, I see a lot of negative comments related to drinks and service. But people who ordered food tells a different story. Just my thought, maybe they should simplify the drink menu and focus on food. Either way, this place was delicious, and I would come back. read more

First time here and I got a regular milk tea with boba. The boba was hard and inedible... that can make or break a drink for me. With a name that has "boba" in it, the expectations are high. This was not it at all. read more

Stopped by here for the name, not coming back for the tea. My boyfriend doesn't even remember how it tasted so by his standards, it's probably not memorable. The thai tea was too bland and sweet, did not taste the tea at all and the taro was a bit watery. Maybe it was one of their bad days, who knows. This place is okay if you choose to stop by to pick some up but otherwise go at your own discretion! Ordered: Thai tea and Taro Milk Tea read more

Placed in a non conspicuous place in the same plaza as the AR Mart. It's very busy on a Saturday afternoon. I chose not to eat in the food court this time but rather grab something here after not being here for while. I ordered the fried sweet potato fries and the beef Kim bap to go. Wasn't in the mood for boba (ironic considering it's a boba spot) so I passed on drinks. The food was well worth it. Nice portions and tasty! Will be back. read more

WAIT WHY DOES A BOBA PLACE HAVE SUCH GOOD KOREAN FOOOOOD???? My dad found this place on fb (lol) saying they had good food. Intrigued, we tried it out. I did not have high hopes initially. You have to go to the counter and order yourself, plus bus your dishes. Plus the strip mall its in...uh... leaves much to be desired. when you go you will see what I mean lol. It's pretty run down. How could a place like this have good food? We got red bean noodles, Kong guksu, oden udon, clam knife cut noodles, popcorn chicken, and taiyaki. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. I tried a bit of each and it doesn't taste cheap like you would expect at a boba place! Honestly, the quality was better than the average matjips around this area. The Kong guksu was very creamy and frothy... I didn't like it (totally different texture than what is normally served), but my dad said that was one of the reasons people liked this spot. Okaayyy... :l My dish, the clam kalguksu... HOLY S- the broth was sooo0o0o0o good! I think its the best I've had in america so far... the broth was chock full of clam flava. Everyone was freaking out about how delicious the broth was. BTW, It was PYACKED with old koreans by the time we left. (You know that means it's good.) Guess everyone and their mom knows about this hole-in-the-wall gem. Above average korean comfort food in food court style setting located in a boba store. Lol. read more

Great boong uh ppang, So huge and so fresh off the grill. Great place for desert and chilling

Came here because friend raved about this place. The food is ok. A bit quite sweet. But if you like sweet Korean food then it's the place for you. The boba is good and many people come and get the boba. Personally, it's a bit sweet for me. Service could be nicer. They seem a bit stressed. Parking is relatively easy. They have a bug zapper that keeps zapping so just know that it is there. read more

Initially went in for Korean shaved ice but due to their unavailability we ordered their 4 piece Taiyaki combo + 1 drink (chose an iced americano) and was so surprised at how tasty they were! We got 3 of the red bean and 1 custard, all were perfectly *super* crispy on the outside while being so unbelievably soft and chewy with ample filling. Was so yummy that only one was left before realizin the photo wasn't taken. ;( Only negative was that the young girl working the front could not have been anymore off-putting or was having an awfully off day - don't expect a greeting, let alone a smile, no joke. But do expect her to make some bomb taiyaki that's definitely still worth returning for~ read more

I always get the fried sweet potato and kimbaps! They are definitely worth the price and tastes amazing! I like to call them around 15 min before I get there so that I dont have to wait! Staff is very kind and its a small and quiet place to eat or study. read more

Yay for a boba place that opens at 10am! Its hard to find Boba spots that open in the AM. This little cafe is clean and professional, and is adhering to the covid19 protocols. They have spritzers made with Perrier! This is wonderful, because most places make theirs with Sprite, and I don't drink soda. I enjoyed the Yuzu(Citron) drink which had plenty of pieces of fresh fruit. Perfect for my love of all things tart and sour. I will definitely be back! read more

Tbh I didn't have high expectations for this place, but I just have to say that if you haven't been here for the drink s, then you've been missing out! My favorite drink would have to be the taro milk tea. The flavor wasn't diluted and the boba was warm, chewy, and soft! I recently tried the vanilla chai which was also pretty good. The flavor reminds me of gingerbread cookies lol. The only critique I have for the drink is that it was a little on the sweet side. The place itself is nice and clean. It was pretty interesting to see a bunch of middle aged Korean ladies sit at a table gossiping about random things while sipping their drinks. I thought I was in a kdrama for a quick second! Anyways, check this place out if you're in the area! The surrounding area looks a little shady, but don't let that stop you! read more

I like to ask the barista/cashier for recommendations, so I asked her which she preferred between thai and coffee milk tea. She told me the difference between them and actually recommended me trying the regular milk tea or taro. I went for the taro to try something new, plus it was a little cheaper than the other ones I initially wanted. I'm glad I went with her recommendation. While I can be a weakling with sweetness (thus 1 star off), my friend affirmed that it is good and not too sweet. The boba itself is good too. My friend ordered the pistachio frappe and dumplings (mandu). The pistachio is more postachio-y and I actually liked that, with tiny bits of pistachio. And man...the dumplings are so good!! Definitely recommend that for food. I think it's because the cook is really good in general. They taste like they were handmade. read more

It's quite noisy here but staff is nice. Area is clean there are no plug outlets to charge cell phone or computer. Lots of big tables to meet with friends or study. They do have a variety of boba but no jelly. They have tea and coffee. There's lots of parking outside and with cameras. I saw a lot of customers ordering food read more

Came in at 10:15 to order coffee. Considering they open at 10:00am, I was surprised to hear that I was unable to order a drink due to them "barely opening". One of the cashiers is very rude as well! However, the only redeeming factor is that the second cashier had a more pleasant attitude. As a Hispanic customer, I felt I was treated extremely poorly due to not speaking Korean. Will not return :( read more

Nice place to spend w friends and drink tea , I think dessert is not bad~ milk tea is good

Have been driving by this place since they opened and finally had time to stop in. It was actually a surprise stop from my husband. He knows I love boba and love to support small businesses. I had the coffee milk with boba and my husband had chai vanilla milk with boba. Wow! Mine was delish but my husband's drink was out of the world! Yes I was jealous and have been dreaming about my next visit there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I can't have dairy so that's always a problem but not this time. They have almond milk. They also have food. The menu looked good. Going to try the sweet potato fries next time with my chai vanilla! Hoping they open up seating so I can enjoy there unique atmosphere. Thank you so much! read more

My 15 year old son loves all things Boba! Constantly going to new places and trying different flavors. On the way home, he spited this little place tucked away so we decided to to try it... He ordered the Peach-kiwi "smoothy" (with boba .$50 extra) and 2 Taiyaki (minimum purchase). The drink that was provided was a "slushy" not a smoothly as requested. He didn't mind, since it was something new but as a paying mother, I want the order I request. The 2 Taiyaki were okay, he liked them but wouldn't order them again and took about 7-9 minutes to come out and by that time his "slushy boba" was basically melted. As we waited for the taiyaki we looked around their store and noticed all the fruit fly's that were coming from the rotten display. Cute idea for the holidays, but not properly maintained and needs to be removed. read more

I have been to many boba/drink places in my time. Anyway last week, after work, the BF and I decided that we would try a new place especially since we were in Fullerton. We pulled into this plaza and saw that it was a super cute little café. They had this deal going on where you could order 4 taiyaki and get a tea for $12. They have 3 different flavors, red bean with something, custard, and Nutella. We then decided to order 2 avocado smoothies. The entire order was over $25 because of the snacks...that's fine. We sat down and waited for our order to come out. The place is decorated pretty cute...very eclectic with it seems like different pockets of the place with a different style of décor. Anyway our taiyaki and tea came out first. Then came out our avocado smoothies. This is where we were confused. The avocado smoothie itself is more expensive than the other flavor smoothies on the menu....we get it. Avocado is expensive. I even specifically asked if it was made from fresh avocado. The cashier said yes. When we went to drink the smoothie...it just had the flavor of banana. We went up to the front to ask if it was supposed to have banana and she said yes. The whole point is...it's basically false advertising if they sell avocado smoothies but in reality it's avocado banana smoothies. No where on the menu does it say blended with banana. Anyway that's what made the entire experience less than enjoyable. Did they try and ask if we wanted another smoothie? NOPE. Will we be going back? Probably not. read more

At the chill feel about this place. We ordered: JANCHI GOOKSU: this was good. It was with simple banchan that was good (see pic). DDUKBOKI- this wasn't bad at all. The dduk was a little mushy ... but the sauce was good. I would order this again. MANDO- my SIL loves this, but I thought it was just ok. AMERICANO- I like this.. we ate there ... so i wished they put in ceramic mug... but no big deal PUNG-OH-BANG (red bean/ hazelnut) - this was goodn Kids loves it. read more

A lot of things went wrong this first--and probably last--visit. Several I wouldn't hold against the shop as they were the consequence of being incredibly busy and possibly short-staffed. But the final straw was that they rang me up at higher prices than their menu board. When I pointed it out, they merely explained it as, "Oh, they raised the prices." As I'd just waited 10 minutes to order and gone through an extended conversation to input my order, I accepted it with frustration. But my bottom line is, showing accurate pricing on a menu is the very lowest of expectations a customer should be able to expect of a shop. We make our decisions on the information you post. To do less is to kill trust with your customers, which is hard to get back. read more

Kimbap, sweet potato sticks are great. The drinks here are hit or miss. Service is ok.

Not a fan of powder based teas. If you want less sweet, then they just put less powder, which dilute the taste. Nonetheless, could have just bought a whole pack of instant powder teas and make your own for the same price of a large drink. read more

The Boba is hard and just not good. It really throws off the entire drink. The milk tea portion was alright, but practically undrinkable due to how terrible the boba is. read more

I ordered a large size pistachio smoothie but received a small size. Two guys took orders and served that night. When I told the guy who took my order that I had ordered a larger size, he apologized and said he would make it again in a larger size. However, what he did was that he transferred the small pistachio smoothie into a large cup and filled the rest with ice and gave back to us as a large size. What made me even more upset was that two guys were smiling at each other so proudly looking at each other. I felt like I was completely robbed... read more

Good drinks, good food, and cute interior. If you're looking for a place to be able to chill comfortably, eat, and drink all at once, then this is the place. It's spacious inside with outlets to plug into. My friend and I came here and had their "Assorted Fries" which is basically a bunch of different tempura - yummm~ There was deep-fried shrimp, octopus, sweet potato, squash, broccoli, and onion. It came with a dipping sauce. Perfectly crunchy, tender, and flavorful~ If you eat inside, then you pay later and they serve you. We also ordered drinks. I got the Thai tea and my friend got the Hazelnut Milk Tea half sugar. I couldn't decrease the sugar in mine since it's pre-made, but it was still really good. My friend's Hazelnut was soooo good! It was pretty quiet inside with people coming and going. A lot of Korean adults chilling. But it was Memorial Day, so I'm not surprised there weren't more people. Would definitely come here again. :) read more

They have boba and meals/snacks! I got the peach mango smoothie and it was actually yummy & refreshing! My friend got boba balls in her drink and said it was good too. We got the ddukbokki. ($9.99) It's a pretty big size and tastes yummy. Also, ordered the popcorn chicken ($6.95?) and it came with a the sweet and sour sauce. We hung out for a bit and the worker brought us fried potato chips on the house! :) read more

Oh, BobaYolo, really? Yolo? That's a thing of the past. Cmon, get in the present. You know, you would expect new boba shops opening up in the Fullerton/Buena Park area to be GREAT just because there are 50 other places down every block. The only things on their menu that stood out were their mojito and sparkling drinks. My first time around, I went with their Mojito Coffee with boba. Don't ask me why I got it, but don't get it. It's not good at all. I've also tried one of their sparkling drinks, as well as their pina colada. The drinks are at best, just about par for me. the boba wasn't anything surprising either. Customer service was pretty great, but one thing that bothered me a little is the way they treat non-Korean customers. They're not treated with the highest of respect that we, Koreans get. Honestly, I would stay away if you're not Korean. I know i'm going to stay away as well. There are so many better boba places even 5 to 10 minutes away. BobaYolo, more like BobaYovo.

Drinks were tasty, service was A+, no line/wait.... HOWEVER I took a sip from my tea and felt this spiked thing in my mouth ‍‍ what is this !? I was freaked about I thought it was a spider egg, but I think it'd a spikey ball from outside (I find them in the lawn all the time) how could this possibly get in my drink.

Worst experience on New Year's Eve I was really excited to try this place. I got a discount coupon that expires soon, so I showed it to the owner. Even though it says 2019, the owner kept saying that I have 2018 year coupon lol. I was okay to pay full price though. However, they didn't even make any of our food when there were only 3 groups including us. I waited for 40 min, but the owners didn't even say sorry. The cashier was only one who said sorry which I believe should be opposite. I think they should more care about their customers. Very disorganized place. I would not recommend this place at all read more
