Having this icy drink made me more incentive to work during a 95F day. We came during a weekday and this is my boss's go-to place during an extremely hot day. My guava green tea was great but I think I made a mistake not adjusting the sugar level and add lychee coconut jelly...He ordered regular black tea with grass jelly. I need to be pretty honest that I don't like grass jelly usually but their grass jelly was pretty delish! Very balanced (not too sweet!) Anyway, I'll definitely order grass jelly as my topping next time!
I decided to try Shang Yu Lin after seeing the bogo deal they were running on Doordash for certain drinks. We chose the Signature Fresh Milk tea with drinkable mochi as the topping and enjoyed the depth in its flavor. 10% sugar might sound intimidating, but was just the right amount. They added a generous amount of mochi so it turned out to be very thick and viscous, making it difficult to sip the drink and get proportionate amounts of tea and mochi at the same time. Besides that one issue, I did enjoy the drink with mochi overall and would give this drink a 4/5. Service was quick and our order of 4 drinks was ready within about 10 minutes of ordering. There is limited seating inside, and most people tend to bring their drinks to go. I would come back to try the rest of their menu and toppings.
Stopped by for some drinks and snacks and had a great experience. We ordered the Oolong Black Fresh Milk Tea with fenjiao (the white, agar-like boba) and the Yin Yang Boba Fresh Milk Tea. The boba had a really nice chewy texture and didn't have that plastic-like texture some places have. Same with the fenjiao, which was great to see since not many boba shops offer it. We also tried the fried veggie mix. It smelled insanely good when it came out. Thankfully it tasted just as good and was nicely seasoned. The staff were very busy but still moved things along quickly. We waited maybe 3 minutes for the drinks and about 8 minutes for the fried food. The shop has a very traditional Chinese tea house vibe, and the staff were wearing sleek Chinese-inspired uniforms with black and gold trim which added to the ambiance. Overall a really nice spot. Would return.
Came across this store on google maps and realized they sell basque cheese cake so I had to try! This is related to the cheese cake (original flavor). The cheesecake itself is pretty mediocre (has a fridge smell to it too so I'm not sure how long ago the cheesecake itself was made). On weekends the cheesecakes are half off so definitely a deal! They have other cakes to try- may try them next time. Store is super cute, casual, and friendly staff! Service is great!
Been wanting to try since they opened up. Popped by to grab some drinks. Too bad their non caffeinated drink options are so limited. The girls ended up going next door to tea era. I ordered via the kiosk. The hot drinks take longer to prep, they said 10 minutes but ended up being over 20 minutes. Peach oolong milk tea: 2/5 I had a taste of it and didn't like the peach flavor. We added panna cotta but it had an odd harder texture than we are used to. Yung yang jelly fresh milk tea: 4/5 much better than the peach. I liked the jelly.
Shang Yu Lin is a famous Taiwan chain of boba stores and I'm excited that they have a location in the US! The Queen of Guava Smoothie was very refreshing and had an icy consistency. Not many stores have guava drinks, so I'm glad they do. It has green tea, soft mochi swirls, and lychee jelly. The Red Bean Mochi Fresh Milk was a fun one to try. Soft mochi was also swirled in the creamy drink. Real chunks of red bean sat at the bottom. I felt like I was both drinking and eating a dessert! The Strawberry Fresh Milk had real bits of strawberry and it wasn't too sweet. The strawberry taste really comes forward. I liked that it was made with organic milk as well. I added Lychee Coconut Jelly, which was sweet and juicy, bursting with fruitiness. Overall very flavorful drinks in huge cups. Beautifully decorated store interior with an elegant feel. Fast and friendly service. Their glass display case has little cakes and desserts that I want to try next time!
A taiwanaese boba chain located next to siam station We got their roasted guanyin milk tea with mochi it tasted really good Sitting is a bit limited, but still has plenty of room Ordering is done through the kiosk and easy to sign up for rewards as well Overall, I had great flavoring, good vibes, and the Boba comes out really fast Great place to also wait if you're trying to eat the Thai food next door Parking is easy as well
Service was easy and quick. The place was clean. I ordered lychee tea and jelly which was good. The popcorn chicken didn't take long and it tastes good. Not too salty and fried crispy not greasy. Prices are typical. I think they have weekday specials too bad I'm not in the area to take advantage of. Solid place.
Came here with my brother, and his gf. We were craving for boba. We never tried this place so we're excited to see how it tastes. Brother's GF ordered Strawberry Milk Matcha Cloud foam. Brother ordered Signature Black Milk Tea. I ordered Roasted Guanyin Fresh Milk tea with grass jelly. We each tried each other's drinks and it was really good! I love the taste of the fresh strawberries with the Matcha. My brother's was good as well being at 100% sugar, it wasn't too bad. It wasn't very sweet, which is perfect for me. Mine is 75% sugar and it was also perfect as well. Lots of tea flavor in each of the drinks. It was self-service ordering on the kiosk, I think there was only one person working, who was making the drinks. Luckily, it wasn't busy, and it was just us on another party. Super spacious with lots of seating. There's like Bar seating on the left side. Definitely recommend to try this place!
Very very mediocre watered down teas slightly enhanced by toppings and sugar. I had the peach oolong cloud foam which was pretty flavorless with barely any hint of peach. The tea flavor was pretty weak and the drink felt watered down. The cloud foam was just okay... kinda just tasted like frothed milk. Drinks come out super fast after ordering on kiosk. On a Monday around 6:30 it was pretty busy. There's very minimal seating inside.
I have passed by this intersection so many times and never noticed what stores were in the shopping center at the SE corner by the McDonalds. It's because they signs don't stand out and it's hard to see them from the street. I can see the sign for TeaEra while driving along Homestead, but this bubble tea shop Shang Yu Lin is not visible from either side, neither Homestead nor Stelling. I'm glad I ventured into the parking lot to get a closer look at what this corner had to offer. Saw Shang Yu Lin and decided to give them a try. They have 2 order kiosks on the right side as you walk in. I love it when these places have more than one kiosk, so there is no bottleneck when several people are waiting to order. The interface was easy to use. And it didn't take long for our drinks to be ready. We ordered a Black Tea Cloud Foam and a Roasted Guanyin Cloud Foam. It's a good thing the slapped stickers onto each cup so we could distinguish them, because they look virtually the same. But when you sip them side by side, you can easily tell which one is the Guanyin (Tieguanyin Oolong). The tea flavor definitely comes through. I was surprised that they sealed the lids on these "foam" drinks. Many other places give you a different "sipping" lid that can be easily popped on/off. It's hard to get the foam when using a straw on these sealed type lids. I usually just peel off the lid before drinking. But they certainly do make it easier to transport in your car, if you're going to take it home before drinking it. I appreciate beverage shops having a restroom for customers. Didn't have a need to use it during my visit, but I do like having that option available. Parking is really easy here, however, the paving in the parking lot makes it feel a bit "dumpy".
This boba shop is located in a plaza with lots of good asian food restaurants so I stopped by while on the waitlist for Siam Station. I ordered the peanut butter milk tea drink because I love peanut butter and it's a pretty unique drink I haven't seen elsewhere. I was also specifically looking for no caffeine options, and this one said it was caffeine free. The drink was surprisingly really good and creamy - not overly sweet. Would come again for this drink! There is some seating inside and you order at kiosk. There was no wait/line when I went.
One of our family's favorite boba places in Cupertino. They have a special Feng Jiao topping and it's my favorite.

Both teas had a good freshly brewed flavor. The black tea (no milk) was on sale for about $2 making it a great deal, adding Jelly brought it to about $3. I like that they use biodegradable materials like paper for the cups/straws. No issues with off flavors from the paper straw. The yin yang boba pearls were good, not much to comment on. Yin yang jelly was one of the highlights, the white part was rich and custardy. Fried mushrooms they used king oyster mushrooms with big cubes from the stem of the large mushroom, the mushroom flavor really comes through since there is a lot of meat. I really enjoyed it. read more

I wanted to try a new milk tea place and decided to try their oolong and popcorn chicken combo their roasted oolong milk tea was just okay - I was hoping it would be on par with TPT's but it doesn't have a strong enough tea flavor. however, I did enjoy the boba -- it was fresh and chewy the popcorn chicken was unfortunately very dry and the staff didn't bother to mix in the seasoning -- there was only 1 person working the orders so they weren't very friendly because he was probably being overworked and underpaid I wish I got the strawberry milk tea instead -- will consider getting it next time read more

Stumblef on this spot after dinner nearby. The milk tea was pretty good. The teA had a nice strong herbal flavor AND not too sweet. They've got the balance just right. We tried the peanut butter milk tea too, and it was definitely different. Pretty thick because of the mochi, and the PB flavor was strong. It was good and kind of fun to try, but not sure I'd get it again. More of a "once is enough" kind of thing for me. I'd definitely come back to try other drinks. read more
We frequent this plaza for lunch and dinner often, so it was nice to find that Shang Yu Lin was here! Upon arrival we saw that there were some workers behind the counter but opted to use one of their ordering kiosks so we can look through the menu since it was our first time. They had a nice variety of drinks and snacks. Their teas are super fragrant and not too milky or dull. Get at least 50% sweetness on your drinks, it's perfect! We also got their popcorn chicken, the green beans/oyster mushrooms and a cheesecake. Both savory snacks came with lots of basil which I absolutely loved. The popcorn chicken reminded me of the OG/classic popcorn chicken, which was so delicious and nostalgic. The green beans/mushrooms were surprisingly crispy and tasty, which I think have become a favorite of mine. The cheesecake was just OK; not as creamy and smooth, but more chunky? Idk, I think I'd skip this next time, or try a different sweet treat. There is plenty of seating, and decorated very nicely as well. It also wasn't too busy on a Saturday evening, as I think everyone was busy at dinner. Overall, if you're craving a solid, fragrant milk tea and some fresh, herbaceous popcorn chicken, go here! read more
Tried this place for the first time a few months ago (for their August specials) and bc we were drawn by all the talk about their peanut drinks! Snacks: + Popcorn chicken: Would recommend this! They were crispy and juicy and had great flavor + Fried oyster mushroom and fried veggie mix (string beans & oyster mushroom): they are decent - can skip them imo, but I appreciate the vegetarian snack option. Peanut drinks: I wanted to see the difference between the 2 peanut drinks - super peanut milk tea and peanut butter bliss. The pb bliss was fully peanut buttery while the milk tea one had milk tea flavors in it. Loved both! Both of these drinks are veryyy thick in terms of consistency of the drink and the density of the toppings. It almost felt like they were generous with the mochi topping and the super chewy fen jiao. Got both drinks with 50% sweetness and 50% ice. The sweetness was good, but I'd recommend getting 100% ice bc the colder this drink, the better imo. Honestly really enjoyed these drinks, but would definitely recommend sharing if you can lol, it felt like 2 whole meals Will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks :) read more
We tried Shang Yu Lin for the first time a few months ago & although it's about an hour away from us, we've been making the trip solely for their popcorn chicken. We're picky about our popcorn chicken & we absolutely love theirs because it's loaded with flavors of five spice chicken seasoning along with a lot of basil! Most places that offer popcorn chicken are usually either bland, or doesn't include basil, but they make it consistency perfect here. One of their known for drinks is the peanut butter drink, but it's really heavy and a dessert itself. Tastes like you're drinking a peanut butter tang yuan (rice ball). It's worth trying at least once if you like peanut butter! My go to order is the Tie Guan Yin Milk tea or the Jasmine Milk Tea because the tea flavor is strong and not watered down. Will definitely be back to try more. read more
I originally came here to try their salted egg yolk dessert after seeing someone's pic on Yelp review. I'm arriving 45 mins to closing my so there's only one left and a few other desserts. I noticed next to the salted egg yolk name is "pork floss". I inquire with the innocent cashier with black shoulder length hair. It sounded like she was annoyed at first because I'm Asian as well and fluent in English. Her colleagues all looked up as soon as I started speaking? Anyway, the girl I asked sharply responded that there's pork in the cake or crumbs on top? Her initial silence and blank stare was apparent she didn't want to sell it to me. So I proceed with ordering my drink and still not convinced, asked her to detail what kind of pork did she mean was in the cake? The toppings? She wasted no time answering, " if you don't like it, don't order it". Last time I'm coming here. I advise every non Taiwanese to avoid this location like black plague. It's too bad I was going to write a decent review bc this little hole in the wall looked decent and clean inside with a bathroom. But after the interaction with this rude cashier, this place deserves no positive review, but remedial training in customer service or perhaps obtaining a better paying job if truly miserable answering questions from paying customers. read more

Stumbled in while waiting for my table at Siam Station next door. For my first time here, I must say the Guanyin Milk Tea (75%) was the perfect sweetness for me. I love that this place uses non-dairy creamer for many of their drinks. On Fridays they have a $5.99 popcorn chicken special and it definitely filled that immediate craving for popcorn chicken. It was tender and oozing with oil on the inside, breading could have been crispier but I'm not complaining, and the seasoning was a bit too salty for my liking but still had that nice Taiwanese popcorn chicken flavoring. For the price it's not too bad. I think I would want to try their lunch sets next time because I can see myself enjoying the chicken with rice to balance out all the flavors. The inside has two or three small tables with high chair seating so it is a bit cramped. I can't see myself meeting friends here for long but it's nice to grab a quick bite. read more

I got the Yin Yang milk tea which was black milk tea with boba and fenjiao. The fenjiao to be honest isn't anything special, it's just cube boba. The texture is the same as boba and there isn't much of a flavor other than general sweetness. The milk tea was solid though. My drink was $6.55, average price for boba these days. Lots of parking in the lot and not too much seating inside. More of a grab and go spot. Next time i'm curious to try their more special drinks like the peanut series. read more
The shang yu lin boba milk tea is so good! Their taste is really good and the boba was super chewy! It came with 2 types of boba as well! The ambience was also great, with lots of seats. I would rate this boba 10/10!! The boba also came out super quick! read more
Stoped by, Shang Yu Lin, after the salon and got myself a fruit tea. They have a special on their signature fruit tea on Thursday's for $3.99. It's delicious and they add fresh fruit slices to the tea. There was apple, orange and lime slices inside my tea. I asked for less sweetness and 50% ice. My order came out perfect. I really like the decor inside. It's very clean as well as the restroom. I'll definitely be back to try other flavors. read more
Update with a list of drinks since I've tried so many. I usually order the same drinks/don't feel like trying the other drinks for other boba store, but their monthly deals are giving me excuses (opportunities) to try something new. Their peanut drink was indeed amazing - definitely feels like a meal though. Guava green tea was great - it was refreshing. I'd definitely reorder. Less sweet was perfect with their yingyang topping because the boba was sweet. Fen Jiao (Oolong black) milk tea is amazing - strong tea flavor, reminds me of childhood (good quality, solid milk tea). I got this at 75% sugar with fenjiao. It was sweet, but I loved it. Fen Jiao (Oolong) milk tea - solid. Feels "lighter" than the oolong black milk tea. I like it, but I'd probably vote for the oolong black milk tea if I have to choose. Their black sesame mini cake was not bad, but I would prefer it without the nuts. As for the topping. Their ying yang = regular boba + fen Jiao. They rolled out a fenjiao 2.0 this weekend. It's still good, but definitely chewier than before. I personally prefer the original one more. Skips: I did not like their oolong green tea. Or maybe I got unlucky and got the batch that they over-steeped. I'd skip the peach oolong milk tea too since it didn't stand out. read more
Amazing popcorn chicken! One of the best I've had. My favorite type of popcorn chicken. Batter they use has a nice layer, very crispy, seasoned well, and juicy chicken. Doesn't taste oily. Decent portion for the price. Also comes with some fried basil and gives a spicy powder on the side so you can adjust to your liking. Does take about 10-15 minutes for them to make. I got the yin yang boba milk tea with boba and the super peanut milk tea. Not much tea flavor for the yin yang boba milk tea. More on the milky side. The boba has a nice chew but doesn't have sweetness to it. The super peanut milk tea is a must get if you love peanuts. Nice creaminess and very strong peanut flavor. Peanut mochi has great texture. The black sesame with mochi was pleasant. Not too sweet. Decent black sesame flavor and cake in-between. Would come back for the popcorn chicken. Service is ok. Ordered 4 items and didn't offer any bags or drink holder. Nice interiors with neon signs and gold seats. read more
The service was friendly and fast. We were greeted when we entered and then we placed our order on a self-order kiosk. They said longer wait times for the snacks, but it had only been a few minutes when our full order came out. The popcorn chicken was crispy, tender, and juicy. The Mango Green Tea was pretty standard (generic syrup, no fresh mangoes), but the yinyang boba was soft and chewy. The Black Sesame w/ Mochi Cake was light and smooth. There were only a few tables, so this is more of a takeout place than a place to hang out. Overall, this is a solid boba and snack spot, and I'll be back to try other flavors. read more

I've been going to the gym right across the street for years and somehow only discovered Shang Yu Lin yesterday--right after lunch at Dynasty BBQ--and omg, where has this place been all my life?! I was kinda bummed to find out their June special (50% off select drinks and desserts) is only on weekdays... and of course, I went on a Friday Just missed it! But honestly? Even at full price, it was totally worth it. I got the Super Peanut Milk Tea and it was love at first sip--sweet and salty in perfect balance. And it's even better with drinkable mochi and Feng Qiao (tapioca cube) topping that comes with it. Feng qiao is more QQ than regular boba, making it feel like a dessert (think Meet Fresh) and drink in one. The Go Go Mango was another surprise hit! Thought it came with mango chunks based on the photo, but it actually had mango crystal boba--and not just a few, like a lot. Super refreshing and fun! We also tried the pork floss salted egg yolk cake. I wasn't crazy about the combo, but the kiddos loved it. I'm betting the black sesame one would be more my style next time. Already told all my gym buddies to swing by next week (on a weekday this time) to take advantage of the June deal. Let's just hope we don't end up gaining more calories from this than what we burned at the gym! read more
Next to the popular Thai restaurant, it's a place to get drinks and desserts after the spicy Thai food. We had the yinyang jelly milk tea, strong tea flavor with black jelly and white (mochi) jelly, I like the toppings. Yinyang boba fresh milk is okay except the white boba was a bit hard to chew. Will come back to try other things on the menu read more
Waiting for our table at Siam Station next door, we took shelter from the brutal late afternoon sun by slipping into this boba shop. We bought drinks so we could sit in the glorious AC without guilt. I ordered the Yin Yang Boba, one of their top 6. With roasted guan yin tea as the base, I expected depth, but it tasted like sweet diluted milk. I got 50 percent sugar with light ice, but still no tea flavor. Boba was a bit too smushy for my taste. Solid 2 out of 5. My husband went for a wild card called Super Peanuts. One sip was enough for me. It was like drinking watered-down peanut butter. He thought it was unique and gave it 3.5 out of 5. The space is clean, the AC is cranked, and there are a few tall tables and stools for customers. Bonus points for that. If you're roasting while waiting for Siam Station, this place offers sweet, cool refuge. Just maybe skip the Yin Yang and Super Peanuts. read more
Came for the June special. Wednesday's deep fried oyster mushroom for $4.99 is a deal. They made it fresh and although slightly under seasoned to my taste, has plenty of mushrooms and a good value for that price. Service is ok. We ordered on the kiosk and just waited to be called for the order number. The store is not big with a couple tables for seating. There's not much chit chat from the staff. The drink menu was relatively boring for me as we have lots of other options in the Bay Area, so I find it hard to be convinced that they will last in the cut throat boba competition here. read more
There's a sizeable lot, which does get busy around meal times. I ordered through the kiosk and my order came out relatively fast. The decor is nice and there's a suitable number of seats. I decided on the roasted guanyin milk tea with yinyang jelly. I couldn't really detect the tea, it was mostly the taste of milk. I think the milk and the jelly overpowered the tea. Maybe next time I'll order a tea without milk. read more

I ordered the oolong green fresh milk tea with boba, the roasted green tea base has a deep, slightly smoky flavor that sets it apart from standard green tea drinks. Boba is perfectly qq, and not too sweet. They use Horizon organic milk, and Oatly oat milk, and I appreciate the option to switch milk without extra charge. Staff is also friendly and helped with my order when I arrive. read more
Got to try this place after eating at a next door Restaurant! This place is definitely as the line was packed after we ordered. They have some high tables and interior seating. You'll order through a self serve kiosk and wait from 5-10 minutes for your order. I got their peach oolong with milk foam! Very refreshing, sweet, and the milk foam was so creamy. Good experience! read more
