    [UMe] Oat Burst Sticky Rice Yogurt 血糯米酸奶
    Pauline R.

    The first time I went to a Ume at a different location, I got the boba milk tea and it wasn't very good. What made me come back was their snacks. I wanted to try the fried octopus since the fried chicken was delicious and perfectly fried last time. And for drinks, I wanted to try what they seem to be known for - their yogurt drinks. I got the oat burst sticky rice, and the first sip had me kind of confused because the yogurt was quite potent. I mixed it up and got some of the purple rice and popping oat pieces, and after that sip, I could not put it down!! It was so yummy; it had the perfect amount of sweetness from the purple rice and tartness from the yogurt. In addition to the great flavor combination, you get fun textures from the popping out pieces and the purple rice! I would definitely recommend this drink/dessert and would love to try another flavor next time. The fried octopus was crispy, almost like a chip, but still had a great chewy to it, and the dry rub seasoning was salty, slightly spicy and peppery, in the best way possible. Portion is very generous as well! 2 out of the 2 snacks I've tried so far were amazing and I would definitely recommend. The wait time at this location was quite long though, we ordered at 9:26pm and received the drink at 9:50pm... don't know if I would sit and wait for 25min again so check for a better time to go if you don't want to wait long.

    Cute little spot with really nice decor and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I tried the sticky rice and matcha latte. The matcha latte was good, but I wasn't completely sold on the sticky rice, the consistency was a little off and not quite what I was expecting. Still, I enjoyed the overall experience and would come back to try some of their other options.

    Mandarin Ice Tea
    Emery N.

    I got the Mandarin Ice Tea. It tastes like artificial mandarin and is very sweet. Chestnut popping boba tastes like artificial chestnut.  Green Tea Jelly tastes like green tea and is very sweet. The drinks came out within 5 minutes. This is a great place to get boba late at night when you have a craving. There's little seating outside the store. Parking lot is full during lunch and dinner hours so try not to go at those times!

    Came by for some popcorn chicken the other day and it was a tasty experience. Ordered ahead via the website and my order was ready upon arrival. The popcorn chicken was hot and fresh. The chicken was lightly breaded and came with a few sticks to eat along with a few pieces of basil for fragrance. The counter was staffed by an uncle.

    UME just released the cutest summer drink - the Cha Cha Bowl! It's loaded with textures and flavors, featuring shredded coconut, bread crumbs, mini taro balls, diced watermelon, sago, and coconut milk. Everything comes together surprisingly well, creating a refreshing and satisfying treat. It's even better paired with their signature fried chicken strips. I'm also obsessed with their dessert bowl, packed with purple rice, taro balls, mochi, and taro. Sooo good!

    Beef [UMe] Braised Ground Pork with mushroom Rice Bowl
    Alice C.

    This is the best UME location in south bay because they have items on the menu they don't have at other locations like the bento boxes! Specifically I get the braised beef and mushroom bento box which is super good and you can't get at other locations. The kimchi, fish balls and sides it comes with are good too. I also ordered the oat burst sticky rice yogurt drink and it was amazing - I LOVE all their yogurt based drinks and I don't know other boba places in south bay that have these type of drink. The drink was amazing and food was solid. This specific location is popular so the wait was a bit long on a sunday night ~30 min but it's worth it! It's in a plaza with a lot of good chinese food and ranch 99 so you can look around while waiting. Keep in mind this location has no seating, but the plaza itself has some outdoor benches you can sit and eat/drink.

    This place is small, no seating and often busy. Friendly staffs. One of my go-to spot to grab boba with friends. Love their variety of flavors. Sweetness level is just right !

    Popcorn chicken
    Denny L.

    One of my favorite boba places! Pretty much addicted to the coco mango drink as well as their fried baby octopus and popcorn chicken. Pro tip: popcorn chicken, add salt and pepper seasoning as well as spicy. You won't ever order it another way again!

    11/18/2025 DOORDASHED As someone stepping into the work industry, boba helped me survive my days at work. Ordered DoorDash and got a reg milk tea w boba. It was pricey on DoorDash for a regular-sized drink ($6.75) But the drink was good itself. and the pearls were nice and chewy, not hard.

    I have been going to Ume Tea for 7 years now, maybe longer. This is the 1st and original location. The interior use to be very cute with photo ops and very pink inside. Now, fast forward 7 years later, the interior is a big mess with bags and boxes everywhere, no more photo ops and doesn't give me the Ume Tea vibe like the other new locations. I ordered 2 mango coconut blue drinks yesterday and there was really no one there in the afternoon. The drinks took about 20 minutes which was very very long compared to the other busier locations. After several sips, it didn't have the coconut flavor and tasted like milk instead. Also, I noticed that customers kept on coming up to the staff wondering about their drinks and other questions but the staff seemed confused and didn't know. I don't know how the original location went downhill like this. This location seems neglected in terms of vibe, service and quality. I hope they can fix these small issues so that it stands up to all of their other locations.

    It looked weird when they used past season Christmas cup in February. Not sure if I still like their products as first impressions count, the past holiday design cup was off putting. I think they tried to use up old inventory but why not use them next year? Ordered a Pistachio Jasmine delight, the topping was slimy. Didn't like it too much. There are a plethora of boba shops in the same plaza, a total of five with a new one just opened, it seems Ume doesn't care about competitions. Outdoor seating continued to be a disaster. Unfortunately a hard pass this time.

    Overall excellent experience and tasty ingredients, tea, and bouncy tapioca pearls! Get the large for $1 more 5/5 Coco Mango was so fruity, with real fresh mango puree and the tiny sago pearls and coconut cream. Pearls were warm and had a chewy bouncy texture. Drink tasted like summer! 4.5/5 Milk tea with taro and boba was also quite good I appreciate the real taro paste. It's not as sweet overall vs the fruit drink

    Anny O.

    Mango cloud 4/5 - this was pretty good. I like how there is a good serving of mango so you can actually taste the mango. It paired well with the coconut milk.

The shop has a bright, clean interior with a casual atmosphere that makes it an easy place to stop for a refreshing dessert. Seeing stacks of fresh mangoes behind the counter immediately gave me confidence that the fruit would be one of the highlights of the experience. The mango desserts were easily the best part of my visit. I tried the Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which combined sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago, and fresh pomelo for a refreshing balance of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed the Mango Chewy Ball, where the fresh mango and smooth mango juice paired perfectly with the soft, chewy rice balls. Both desserts felt light while still being satisfying, making them a great option on a warm day. I also had the chance to try a few of the other menu items. The mango mochi was fresh and soft, with ripe mango wrapped inside a delicate chewy layer. For something different, the spicy chili fish balls offered a savory contrast to the fruit desserts, adding a bit of heat and a springy texture that balanced out all of the sweetness. The ordering process was quick and straightforward, and my food arrived not long after I found a table. The dining area was clean and comfortable, and small touches like providing wet wipes made the experience feel a little more thoughtful. It is the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick dessert or stay a little longer while sharing a few different items with friends. Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a great spot for anyone looking for fresh, fruit-forward desserts with authentic Hong Kong flavors. The quality of the mangoes, the variety of textures, and the relaxed atmosphere made it a place I would happily return to whenever I was craving something refreshing.

Having worked in customer service myself, I know how easy it is to simply acknowledge someone. What I experienced here was pure hostility and a passive-aggressive power trip. When I spoke up firmly to get my order, they gave me attitude and then turned around to file a completely bogus, retaliatory "safety" complaint against my account. It is disgusting for staff to treat workers with such disrespect and then abuse their power to report false accusations just because they were held accountable for their awful service. Management seriously needs to investigate staff behavior at the pickup counter and stop enabling employees who misuse their position to harm workers' livelihoods.

Happy Lemon was still using transparent cups last year, in 2024. Now I notice they are using opaque cups this year, in 2025. Why the change?

I only discovered the error after I returned home, poked the straw through the lid and took my first sip.
