The employee also recommended the Matcha Crème Brûlée donut, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The custard filling was overwhelming and overpowered the donut itself. At $7.50, I expected a better balance of flavors and a higher-quality pastry. For me, it just wasn't worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the donut next time.

I was beyond excited to finally have a cute Boba place open up in Sherman Oaks and it 'WAS' good…read morewhen it first opened. Then that changed. Not sure if it's changed ownership? but I've given em at LEAST 3 chances to redeem themselves and it's been a no go. As a boba lover, whenever I try a new place I always start with the basics like milk tea or an earl grey milk tea. If a shop can't get those right, it's usually downhill from there. And that's what I'veI tried. Each time the result was so watered down and tasteless, I either let them remake it for me (which still never turned out right) or it went straight into the trash (goodbye $). It's really sad because I believe the new owner, a younger guy, seems VERY VERY nice and really wants to make your drink right but he needs help running the shop AND, more importantly, help finessing the recipes so they taste right. Really bummed about this place, it's a very cute shop, but I've tried too many times. PLEASE FIX YOUR RECIPES SO YOU CAN SUCCEED AND I CAN COME BACK!

And my bf goes "babe, it's figuratively, it's pronounced like partY" Smh. Aye aye. Anyways... I have to say, I think this is a solid boba shop for the area. I got something simple, a taro smoothie with boba. The boba pearls had a nice chewy texture, and the brown sugar sweet tasting. The taro was fine. It had a nice slushy consistency and I do like that the cups here are thick and stumpy looking. Not overly expensive. Priced fine. I do want to try other flavors, and maybe add pudding next time.

Ume Tea has been a go-to spot for me, and it's about time I left a review…read more We got the Strawberry Yogurt Slushy w/ Crystal boba ($6.75) and Guava Strawberry Yogurt Slushie w/ Popping Oats ($6.75). The drinks came out quickly and were delicious! I appreciate how you can really taste the yogurt in their yogurt drinks. Every drink I've gotten here has been tasty--not too sweet and ingredients are highlighted well! I love Ume tea for their consistency and expansive menu! They have a drink for everyone, and I love how they keep things exciting by adding new drinks to their menu every so often. While there is limited seating, the option between a self-service kiosk or ordering the old-fashioned way makes for a quick, convenient experience. This location is found in a strip mall with plenty of parking too. Overall, Ume Tea has become my go-to place for boba! Highly recommend their yogurt slushies.

I'm a sucker for anything cute, so when a photo of this place popped up in my feed, I knew I had to…read morego, especially since it's so close to home. It's part of a shopping plaza so parking was free and plentiful. Just approaching the door I was already faced with so many cute signs. Inside it's just as cute. It's small, though, like in one corner there was a small table with 2 chairs around it, but the rest of the space is dominated by the huge counter. It's more of a takeout place. I'm glad that there was a digital tablet where you could place your order because I could take my time and not feel guilty for trying to decide. At one point I did need to ask one of the employees for help because I couldn't understand why it wasn't letting me add items to my cart. She explained that I had to scroll down and pick a sauce first. I hope that whoever designed the app puts a "Scroll down" or a down arrow symbol to make that clear. Also, on the tablet I saw items that weren't on the website and vice versa, like I saw fried tofu online, but there was no mention of the rice bowl version. I'm glad there were vegetarian options, so I ordered that and the vegetable rolls. The cafe opened at 11:30, so I had them for lunch. Everything tasted good and the portions were enough for me to have leftovers for dinner. The drink I ordered had the option of buying a special cup. I thought it meant the cup would have a special design, which it did. What I didn't know was that it has a secret compartment on the bottom that you tear open and there was a keychain inside. It kind of reminded me of when I was a kid and asked to go to McDonald's not because of the food, but because I wanted the toy in the Happy Meal. I knew that this is likely a place I'll want to keep coming back to, so I signed up for the membership beforehand. After a certain number of points, you get a free drink or snack. If you put in the credit card you'll be using, you get points for that as well. It is a little bit expensive with the 4 items I bought coming to $40 with tip, and the drinks are sweet even when you can control the amount of sugar (and ice) you want. It's not someplace I'd go to everyday, but definitely every now and then as a special treat.

Pretty good boba! I spotted this place on my way home, about 20 minutes from my house. I ordered…read morethe special milk tea with boba in a small size for $5, while the medium is $6 and the large is $7. They were incredibly fast, I went around 8 PM on a weekday, ordered, and had my drink in less than three minutes. They offer plenty of options and also serve food, though I didn't try it, so I can't comment on that. But the boba itself was solid, and since I love a good boba, this place gets a pass from me. The guy at the register was really nice, and parking was a breeze. Even though I'm not from the area, if I ever pass by again, I'll definitely stop for another drink.

Plaza felt a little questionable, but once you step inside, the place was cute sending chill vibes. There is some seating if you want to enjoy your drinks and treats. I am a HUGE fan of both mochi and mango sticky rice, so this combo hit the spot! The ube mochi is incredibly delicate, wrapping around the fresh mango and sticky rice. Not overly sweet, which I appreciate and the flavors work really well together. Even better when you top it with the coconut cream. Got 2 for $25 and each one was the size of the mango. Mochi with mango and sticky rice was a definite 5/5! Try it for yourself- so so good! Come early so they don't sell out.

And it wasn't even good :( The best thing here tho is there mango sticky rice mochi. Those are really good and addicting. Sad that mango season is over. But I'll come back when that's in stock. But as for drinks, I would skip.

I got the sesame noodles and 6 pc signature dumplings. Here's a tip - when you order to go they don't give you the sauces. You must get the sauces. I used the little cups and got all the sauces. The garlic sauce and hot sauce and you must use it. I swear it makes a huge difference. Also like any dumplings you must consume it right away. The restaurant was clean and open so even if it's casual it's a good place to eat with family/ friends. Since this is a a known Taiwanese franchise, all the other customers were Asian so that tells you it's legit! I'll definitely order again for lunch. Online order is the best, you can do it in their site and pick the time for pick up and it's ready. They have combo meals but my order wasn't a combo. I picked up and ate it there.

The options seem similar to Chubby Dumpling and Tigawok. I ordered the #4 Combo, with the Signature Dumplings and the Signature Noodles. Both dishes were good. The Signature Noodles were nicely done and had some good flavor, I just wish that there was a protein option to add to it. The Signature Dumplings were fine. I've also tried the Spicy Wontons, which were small but tasty. The big sell here is the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, for $17.95. This is the only dish that's served in a big ceramic bowl, and not a to-go container. It also comes with a proper Ramen soup spoon. This is a meal on it's own. Filled with broth, noodles, chunks of tender, but fatty beef, daikon radishes and bok choy. The dish is good for the price, but the broth was a bit underwhelming for my taste. Fortunately, they have plenty of condiments to add more spice and heat. Over all, Bafang Dumpling was better than expected.
