I ordered the brown sugar boba. It wasn't the best boba I've ever had, but it was still really good and definitely hit the spot. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. Overall, it's a solid place to grab a drink, and I'd definitely come back to try some of their other teas the next time I'm in San Jose.

My sister and I tried their red velvet waffle-- this also has chocolate chips in it. If you like red velvet and waffles, you'll like it just fine. You just dont like red velvet waffles if you dont like it and that's fine too. I got the wintermelon milk tea which tastes similar to other milk teas so a simple/easy pick. My sister got the mint chocolate shake which I would say is on the watery side? Not necessarily bad, but the texture was not what you would expect of a shake. I would not order that again unless I specifically wanted that taste. There is an outlet along one wall beside one two-seater table, so I would not bank on being able to get access to one here if that's what you'd like. Prices as follows excluding tax: wintermelon milk tea: $6.25, red velvet waffle: $6.75, mint chocolate shake: $7.25 The place is good, prices are along other locations and seating is plentiful.

I can see how getting to it during the day/weekend might be an issue with how crazy parking can get. From the outside, it looks quaint and inviting, almost out of place with the vibe of the rest of the street/shops around. Inside was some chairs/tables for patrons to lounge at after getting their drinks. When we got there, a group of people were waiting around for their drinks. We ordered at the kiosk and then went next door for cookies. Our drinks were ready when we got back. I really enjoyed my drink - black sugar boba milk tea - and my bf demolished his, so I guess he liked his as well. I would definitely like to come back, but it's gonna be hard to unless I luck out with close parking.

Last time I came here was during covid and it did not disappoint. They had creative snacks that I…read morehadn't see at other boba spots. I came back and hyped my friends up on these pizza pockets they have. I mentioned if they still have it on the menu I'm going to order it. To my surprise, they did. I waited a normal amount of time for something like that -Maybe 10 minutes. It was quiet and not that busy/ evening time. While my friends and I waited, we scanned our surroundings and thought "yo. Why is there so many receipts and why are they brown like that." We checked and saw that there were receipts from march of 2025 on the front counter (currently November 2025). My friend asked them about it, so there's a chance they have since cleaned it, thrown it away. Think they might have more space on the counter if they address it.

It sounds like an unusual combination, but the creamy avocado and sweet mango work surprisingly well together. Rich, refreshing, and basically dessert in a cup. The menu is huge, but it's hard to go wrong. The fruit teas are refreshing, the milk teas are smooth, and the toppings always taste fresh. Portions are generous and the drinks look just as good as they taste. Parking can get a little hectic depending on the time of day, but it's worth the stop if you're in the area and need a boba fix.

I dropped into boba pub after my daughters dance class…read more Walking in the first thing I noticed was the large chalkboard wall with drawings and words. It was really cool. They also have some free table tablet type games to play while you wait. I was greeted warmly and the young lady behind the counter was supper patient when it took me so long to pay, there was a ton of options on a bright and easy to read menu. I ordered an oolong milk tea with honey boba (decided to stick with a classic for my first time) it was the perfect amount of sweetness and the boba was perfect. I bought my daughter a cake pop as well and she loved it I look forward to trying more options.

I honestly don't understand how this place has accumulated so many 4 and 5 star reviews…read more This was my first visit, and unfortunately it will also be my last. I ordered a large Thai milk tea with honey boba and double espresso shots, along with an order of popcorn chicken. The total came to nearly $24, which would be easier to accept if the quality matched the price. The Thai milk tea, even at 75% sugar and with added double shots, tasted watered down and lacked the rich tea flavor I expected. The honey boba was equally disappointing, with little to no noticeable honey flavor despite being marketed as such. The popcorn chicken was crispy, but I specifically ordered mild seasoning and received something that was noticeably spicy. If you're sensitive to spice, be aware that their definition of "mild" may differ from yours. What disappointed me just as much as the food was the service. There were three young employees working behind the counter who appeared far more engaged in conversations with each other than interacting with customers. There was no greeting, no welcoming atmosphere, and no effort to explain or recommend items from their menu. For a first-time customer, the experience felt indifferent and uninterested. The gaming kiosk tables are unique and appear to be a major feature of the business. However, I left with the impression that much of what customers are paying for is the gaming setup rather than the quality of the food, drinks, or service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this location. There are many other boba shops and popcorn chicken spots that offer better flavor, better value, and better customer service at similar or lower prices. Given my visit, the numerous glowing reviews don't reflect the experience I received. I came in expecting a highly rated destination and left wondering if the ratings are based more on the gaming tables than the food and drinks themselves.

I ordered the house pho, which is basically their combination pho and my boyfriend got the spicy seafood, which was basically like a tomyum . It was a little bit sweet for my liking. I actually quite liked the combination for and the flavor, but the portions are definitely on the smaller side. I devoured my bowl. The seafood noodles were a little bit too sweet for my liking, but it was unique and not bad. You order at a counter and then food is brought to you by a robot they give you water, but the water tastes like tap water and the container that it came in had a lot of mineral buildup on it. It was honestly a little bit gross. Good for a low-key dinner and quick meal.

Looks like there's people who monitor the parking…read moreto keep the church goers out, so you don't have to battle them for parking as long as you're going to one of the restaurants. I was able to walk up and order, and then pick wherever we wanted to sit, which made it a rather fast process. We also had a robot bring us our water, which is always exciting. My boyfriend got the house special, and had asked her to be less sweet than normal, but it was still pretty sweet. So just take a note that if you're going to get the house special and you don't love sweetness, to get it very significantly less sweet. It was still quite good and anyone who has a sweet tooth for coffee would enjoy it! I got the rare steak pho, which is just called "steak pho" on their menu. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture before finishing it! I even finished off the broth, which speaks volumes for the flavor.

The drinks and food are always great, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I visited yesterday for their free mini figure promotion with the White Peach Yogurt drink, and it was such a fun little treat and the new flavor was awesome. One thing I really like about Ume is that they're always coming out with new flavors. I enjoy trying their new menu items, and most of the time, it's a hit. I also picked up a Ume gift card, which is a great deal for a frequent customer like me. Definitely a neighborhood favorite for me, and I'll be back to try more new flavors!

However, I wanted to let the business owner know about an inconsistency we've noticed with the drink quality. Three days ago, we ordered the same drinks and they were great. But yesterday, 9/2 around 7 PM, we ordered the same drink again, with the same 30% sweetness level, and both cups tasted very bland. Obviously, the drinks were not the same. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Hopefully the store can check the preparation to make sure the taste is more consistent from one visit to another.
