I've tried the following: Mango matcha (10/10) - My absolute favorite! I am a big fan of the mango puree.. I feel like I haven't encountered any other mango matchas with the same flavor profile as this. The puree feels eerily familiar and nostalgic. Just the right sweetness. Matcha is strong. I close my eyes and think about all the good in the world when I drink this beautiful fruity concoction Banana pudding matcha (8/10) - My bf likes this drink! Personally I am not as big of a fan of banana matcha but he loved how there are crunchy breadcrumbs(?) on top of the cream paired with the strong matcha as usual. Feels more like a dessert than a drink lol Raspberry cream matcha (7/10) - This also felt more like a dessert. I was surprised that the only matcha part of it was the cream top (so it's not a matcha latte). Would recommend this if you are into fruity creamy drinks where matcha flavor is not necessarily the main star of the show Service is standard, you don't really interact with the workers as you can order online or via the kiosk without ever having to talk to a single person if you're feeling antisocial. Interior is bright and cutely decorated/minimalist I will be back. Mark my words.

Honestly, my friends and I always preferred the quality of the milk teas at this location anywho. Fantasia looks exactly the same as I remember it from years ago. Clean, large menu, and lots of seating. I usually prefer the jasmine milk tea at Fantasia, but this time around I ordered their oolong milk tea. The staff was nice and my drink was ready right away. The lack of wait is probably because it was so empty inside. I encourage more people to go to Fantasia since they serve classic milk tea that always hits the spot!

One of my favorite boba shops in the Bay Area -- absolutely worth a visit!…read more I've been to quite a few boba shops around the Bay Area, and UMe Tea is definitely one of the places that really stands out to me. This is the kind of place where you have a great experience and genuinely want to come back again. I work out regularly and pay quite a bit of attention to what I eat and drink, so I'm usually pretty careful with sugary drinks. In the past, I often found that boba drinks could be way too sweet or heavy, and after a few sips I would already feel like I'd had enough. What I really appreciate about UMe Tea is that their drinks can be customized, and the flavors themselves are actually very enjoyable without relying entirely on sweetness. For my recent visit, I ordered the Guava Strawberry Sticky Rice Yogurt with 30% sugar, fixed ice, and oat popping boba. It was SO good. The guava and strawberry flavors were fruity and refreshing, while the yogurt gave the drink a smooth and slightly tangy flavor. The sticky rice added a really interesting texture, and the oat popping boba made every sip more fun. What I especially like is that the drink has multiple layers of flavor and texture. It doesn't just taste like sugar. You can actually taste the fruit, yogurt, and toppings separately, and everything works really well together. As someone who works out regularly, I really appreciate having the option to customize the sweetness. 30% sugar was perfect for me, and I never felt like the drink was overly sweet or heavy. I also ordered the Popcorn Chicken / Salt & Pepper Chicken with the Spicy Chili BBQ seasoning. The chicken was crispy on the outside, flavorful, and paired really well with the drink. But honestly, what makes me want to come back isn't just the food and drinks -- the staff at the Milpitas location are fantastic. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and genuinely nice. The service felt personal rather than rushed, and the staff made me feel very comfortable. The manager and the employees were especially friendly, and you can tell that they care about the customer experience. That matters a lot to me because I'm the type of customer who will keep coming back to a place when I know I'm going to get both good food and good service. I also really like that UMe Tea has options for people with different preferences. Whether you like sweeter drinks, lighter drinks, fruit-based drinks, yogurt drinks, or different toppings, there are plenty of combinations to try. I'm someone who enjoys working out and eating relatively clean most of the time, but I still want to enjoy a good drink occasionally. UMe Tea is one of the places where I feel like I can do that without having to order something ridiculously sweet just to make it taste good. Overall, this was an excellent experience. Great drinks, unique flavors, customizable sweetness, delicious snacks, and genuinely friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back and trying more drinks from the menu. I'm already thinking about what combination I want to order next time. Highly recommended. If you're in the Milpitas area and looking for a really good boba/yogurt drink, definitely give UMe Tea a try. They absolutely deserve 5 stars!

This shop is super cute, lots of pink everywhere and cute merch for sale. We got the popcorn chicken, Coco Mango, Oreo Cream Brulee Boba Oolong Milk Tea, Lychee Tea and Sticky Rice Black Milk tea. Everything (with the exception of the lychee tea - too sour) we got was soooo good. The popcorn chicken was piping hot and crispy, the drinks were a perfect combination of ingredients. My entire family really enjoyed everything we got. I don't know if they still offer it, but I ordered my drink in this super big "surprise cup". Basically it's like a happy meal, where you lift your actual drink cup to reveal a toy on the bottom of the bigger cup. I got two avocado plushie bag/key chains. So cute! Love this chain, wish they would expand to SoCal. Why is it not a 5 star review? The only downside is that the wait is SUPER LONG! I walked over to the 99 Ranch to pick up a few things, and I came back and my drinks still weren't ready. We waited about 45 min for our order. Boo...

Perhaps 50% sweetness at Tea Top is closer to 25% at other places like Gong Cha, Feng Cha, CHICHA San Chen, or Molly Tea, because my drink tasted surprisingly diluted. It wasn't just lacking sweetness--the tea flavor itself didn't come through very strongly either, which left the overall drink tasting a bit watered down. The boba was also fairly bland and didn't add much flavor to the drink. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly excited to finish this one, so my first experience was a bit of a miss. That said, I've seen plenty of positive reviews and they have a pretty extensive menu, so I'm willing to give them another shot. Next time I'm in the area, I'll probably try one of their top drinks and go for higher sweetness percentage to see if I have better luck!

I've been on a mango kick recently, and my best friend highly recommended Hui Lau Shan. I was…read moreintrigued and decided to order delivery. I really appreciated that the items came in a sealed bag. Not only did it ensure freshness, but it also helped assure me that the food wasn't tampered with. The bag was cute too. I'm actually glad that I ordered online, because the menu explicitly stated that products contain lard. I don't eat pork, so heads up if you don't either. I got the coconut mango sago (D4) and mango mochi. I dove right into the mochi, which was fantastic. The mochi was so soft and chewy, the shredded coconut attributed a nice texture, and I loved the mango bits in the center. I also enjoyed the coconut mango sago. There wasn't an option to modify the sweetness, which I was concerned about at first. The drink came out perfectly in balance with sweetness, and I felt that mostly came from the natural sweetness of the mango and coconut milk. I would absolutely return to try other things off the menu. I'm a fan of coconut mango and pomelo/grapefruit at other drink spots, so it's top of my list to try next time.

Noodles are my favorite carb, so that's what intrigued me to try it despite reading that it can be an acquired taste. While I didn't love it, I'm glad I tried it. The flavors were new to me and I can see how the gooey broth and texture can turn people off. The oyster was good too.
