    I came on a weekday and there were at least three other customers ahead of me who placed their orders on the kiosk. I ordered the popcorn chicken, checkered potato cake, and mango yogurt slushie and it took 35 minutes for them to get done. The food came out hot but some of the bigger chicken pieces were slightly undercooked as the center was a bit slick. The potato cake was on the saltier side. The mango slush was good and refreshing. I've never had any drinks with oat popping boba so it did surprise me with its interesting texture.

    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.

    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.

    It's not much of a hangout spot since it's to go orders only. Most people just take the drinks and drink it outside as it's a place to hang out. Thank goodness the weather was warm, breezy, and sunny. The drink itself was very sweet, just how I like it. Staff were very fast, and I appreciate the music selection in the background.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    This location is pretty solid. Ive done takeout and ordered in person. Wait isn't too long. My son loves the tofu. Lately he's also been enjoying the chicken strips. For the price its worth it on both. Ordered the Mandarin Iced Tea and thr Coco Mango. I dont love sweet so I get 30 or 40% sweetness. All in all solid place for drinks & snacks.

    [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.

    [UMe]Mango Coconut Twilight
    Chrissy L.

    The Mango Coconut Twilight at UMe Tea was sweet, creamy, tropical, and refreshing. A great fruity drink with a coconut flavor.

    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!

    Cloud L.

    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 !

    Do they use fresh milk for their milk tea?? Or can we ask for it?

    Don you have any vegan snack options? What about vegetarian snack options?

    Hi Meeta, there are vegetarian snack options such as fried tofu, sesame balls, waffle fries, and fried golden buns.

    Does this location have the cups with the secret plushie inside?

    Yes!

    Are there gift cards available?

    There are e-giftcards available

    Do you have decaf drinks?

    They have flavored milk drinks (Brown sugar boba milk, Taro milk w/ coconut pudding) which don't have caffeine and their mango sago drink is great for an uncaffeinated fruit slush!

So definitely plan for a little extra time if you're coming during peak hours.

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.

I ordered three drinks through the self-order screen like I normally do. There were banners displayed in the store advertising a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" promotion, but when I placed my order, the promotion didn't apply on the screen.

Once I mentioned that I had purchased three drinks but didn't receive the advertised free drink, the cashier said she would check with who appeared to be the owner/manager. She asked, and the response was immediately no. The cashier then came back and simply told us, "Unfortunately, it's not possible." What bothered me wasn't even the price of the drink--it was the way the situation was handled. If a promotion is being prominently advertised inside the store, customers shouldn't be expected to know that it won't automatically apply when ordering through the store's own self-service screen. I had clearly purchased more than the two drinks required for the promotion, and there was no attempt to explain what went wrong or offer any kind of solution. I like led this place but this experience was disappointing and could have been handled with much better customer service. So disappointed!
