    Ube Halo Halo shaved ice
    Winnie Y.

    Cute and casual spot with a wide variety of drinks and toppings. It seems to be a mix of Vietnamese and Korean inspired flavors/offerings. Mostly fruit teas and jellies. There's also a few snack/dessert items including shaved ice, rolls, and Korean hot dog (limited availability). I got an Ube Halo Halo shaved ice which was refreshing for the hot day but was lacking in flavor. The jellies are good, but I wish there was more of it. I tried some of my partner's milk tea drink as well. The items are really colorful and eye-catching, but the flavors are really light and could definitely use some improvement. Overall, Uju's is okay, and would be lower on the list amongst all the different boba/snack shops in the area.

    banana milk tea and uju bag :p thx khoa!

    i love love love uju so much !!!! me and my bf would come here sometimes after school, we are highschool grads now and sad that we're leaving college so we're def going to miss this place :( whenever we're hungry uju def is one of our options bc the hot foods are so yummy!!! dry noodle has to be my fav. such a good introduction to the cultural dishes they serve :D their drinks are supa good as well. i typically always get the banana/ube milk option for the build your own drink and it satisfies me a lot !! their coconut water matcha is really good as well hehe the workers are so nice and we really appreciate Khoa, the owner, and his kindness!! the ambiance is very cozy and welcoming. i think the one thing i love abt this place too is that it's right next to tofu's trading!!! i've def ripped a lot of packs at uju, and got a lot of hits ~ maybe there's smth called uju luck o_o!! i would recommend this place to anyone passing by viet town :3

    Jasmin milk tea with all the toppings, brown sugar with ube pearls
    Alex Z.

    Such a cute and cool place, so many options to choose from and how to customize your order I didn't know what to order. I went with the most popular option the Jasmin milk tea with all the toppings, It was super good if you're into floral drinks. The toppings are cute to look at and all so tasty as well. Definitely will be back for some snack treats as well.

    The banana milk and poke-bake were much more filling that I thought they'd be. The masago poke bake was good but I don't think I'd get it again. It was beautifully put together and tasted good but it doesn't come with that much rice and the cucumber took away from the savoriness. I recommend asking for no cucumber. The banana milk with all the toppings was good. The staff member with the short dyed hair was super helpful! He explained how to eat / drink the drink since it was my first time. He said to take sips and eat some jelly as I go. There is seating inside, perfect for catching up with friends

    Banana Coffee w/o cheese cream
    Jonny T.

    I tried their Banana Cheese Coffee, without the cheese. It's hella good! The folks here are hella nice too. Right when you walk in, they ask you if you've ever tried their products, and if you haven't they proceed to help you find the drink that best suits your taste buds and cravings. The place is also very ADA compliant and friendly. This is important for me, because my beautiful wife is ADA. Thank you UJU for the great hospitality and experience! I'll definitely be back, to try your other coffee suggestions, but I'm excited to drink the banana coffee again! 20/10 overall for this visit!

    Milk Tea Full Toppings
    Generous Y.

    Visited last year, just a bit after they opened. Was hunting down boba around but gave in to trying new things here. Dessert here is similar to che but different in a way. Service was great, super friendly. Major complaint is that they give tons of ice and didn't offer reductions at the time, not sure about now. Price is also pretty steep all things considered. They do a good job at honoring sugar adjustments, so the lower levels don't taste terrible. Milk tea was also surprisingly decent for a spot that doesn't specialize in boba. If you're picking toppings, I would skip the jellies and just get the flans. While the jelly is super basic and offered at most Asian dessert spots, the flan was super soft and creamy, packed with flavor, and cheesy. Premium desserts were the items like the cheese flan while regular toppings were everything else.

    Chescca C.

    Late review. It also took twenty to twenty-five minutes for two drinks (or a drink and che? can't remember what my friend got) even though it wasn't busy at the time. I've never been back since as there are other boba shops nearby that are much faster. I've also never gone to a boba shop where the worker recommends we zelle him. I can't remember what I put false advertising for though.

    Rose tteokbokki and coffee flan
    Thuy N.

    We got the rose tteokbokki and the coffee flan, which both tasted great. The rose tteokbokki has rice cake, fish cake, sausage, cabbage. The coffee flan has coffee jelly and their signature cheese slice. I was there around noon time and they didn't have any sushi to order. The service was okay. The place is cute.

    Aveena D.

    Cute little boba shop with exciting toppings to choose from! Since it was our first time there the guy working helped us and really surprised us with the topping choices. My siblings really enjoyed coming here and we will come back.

    Minh V.

    The boys that work here are very friendly and cordial. Excellent service from this tea shop. I personally love the vibes and the decor here. Their egg cream is really tasty. I did not expect it to go well with the Vietnamese Coffee. The toppings that they offer here are quite nice. Matcha Flan, Ube Flan and other flan toppings are amazing.

    banana milk tea + cheese jello
    Angelica H.

    I like that this boba place copied the concept from socal (the many types of toppings / cheese jello) but I think their drinks are pretty expensive for what it is. The milk tea with 8 toppings was $9 & the cheese jello was also $3 which is quite pricy for just the jello. I recommend this place just to try if you haven't experienced having milk tea with various jellos / puddings but it's honestly a bit pricey in my opinion.

    green thai milk tea
    Megan T.

    Such a fun spot with so many different toppings to pick from! It's located in a plaza so there is a parking lot and the staff were friendly. There's a couple of tables indoors for seating. I ordered one of their best sellers, the green Thai milk tea. I typically don't like green Thai tea because it tastes a bit medicinal to me, but this spot made it well & I didn't get that flavor and really enjoyed this drink! It was loaded with different kinds of toppings like jellies, pudding, and boba. Solid spot to get your sweet fix.

    Monica V.

    Saw this on a social media video and had to check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. I like that you had options to choose which topping you wanted or just let the servers surprise you. I went with the surprise and everything was good. My husband liked them too but was only upset because he didn't know what the jellies were called so get them again. Guess I have to go back with him so he can pick his toppings.

It was a Wednesday and Devin and I were looking to make it a productive work day. We stopped by later in the afternoon. There is ample seating but most of the booths were occupied when we arrived so we sat at a table. Club music was being played loudly so working here would not be ideal if you have to present in meetings. The tropical paradise fruit tea would've been better with a topping or two, but in an attempt to cut down on calories consumed I've began getting drinks without toppings. Unfortunately fruit tea without toppings is just not the same, but this was totally my choice and on me. The WiFi worked well. There are some outlets under the booths but none at the tables. I've been to other Rose Tea Lounge locations and I'd say that this one is definitely more club-like than others. Not the ideal place to work remotely by any means, but that's not to say that the drinks are bad or ambiance is poor. If you're looking to chat and catch up with friends, this spot would be a good choice.

It makes me want to come back for more, specifically their BBQ Tater Tots. (I was pretty surprised that there wasn't much hype on here, Yelp. Along with there not being an option for it on DoorDash, so I really hope & wish that they could add it through online ordering). But besides that, their popcorn chicken & potstickers are delicious too! (They should definitely add the potstickers as an option on DoorDash as well! ) The drinks are very yummy too! You're able to adjust your sweetness level (30%, 60% and 100%), along with adjusting your ice levels (regular, less or none - with no additional charge). Their toppings are soft & easy to chew, really love their grass jelly topping here~ For my DoorDash experience, I have ordered drinks from here before, and as mentioned earlier, there was no option for their BBQ Tater Tots, which would have been nice to have. However, I would love to thank the staff there because I selected their Jalapeño Cheese Curly Fries before writing in the notes about wanting the Tots instead, along with paying additional bacon (just in case of the price difference), and they were very generous enough to call me immediately to confirm my choices. It was very efficient & it was very sweet of them to go out of their way to make sure.

My favorite is the kumquat sugarcane juice. The kumquat adds a bright, refreshing note that keeps it from being overly sweet with just a hint of sourness. We also tried the pure sugarcane juice to compare, and it was delicious too, though definitely much sweeter on its own. It does cost a bit more to get it without ice, but we opted for that since I cannot finish it in one sitting and it keeps better in the fridge this way.

The honey boba adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture, making it my favorite combination. One of the best things about this shop is how fast the service is. Even when ordering in person, I'm usually able to get my drink and be on my way within minutes. The efficiency makes it an easy stop when I'm craving a quick drink. The interior is also a highlight.

The space feels welcoming and cozy, with a cute aesthetic that makes it enjoyable to spend time in. Overall, this is a great boba shop with quality drinks, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere.
