Yotea has an extensive menu but somehow gets everything right! Three of us stopped in yesterday around 3:30pm and basically had the place to ourselves. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is fairly large with a good amount of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a few apps to share and everything came out quickly. The smashed cucumber salad is HUGE and delicious with a lot of good flavor. The wings were crispy and the chicken satay was really flavorful. We loved the flaky egg tarts and the scallion pancakes. The chicken fried rice had a touch of sweetness to it which was unexpected but we liked it! read more

The last time I was home I swung through Oakland and decided to check out Yotea & Yoka as I'd never had their food before. Wow, I was impressed. There are so many great restaurants in Oakland to choose from and they're definitely on that list. Everything from the boba to the rice and all in between is delicious. Well, at least what I had was. I will have to go back and make my way through the rest of the menu. What I had: Cake foam boba milk---OMBoba...delish (I need to try the Snow mountain boba next) They have so many drink options that it's overwhelming. Beef satay was tender and well-seasoned Fried dumplings and cucumber salad---yum Chicken Chow Fun---I think they mean Chicken Chow YES Last note: As you can imagine, they can get extremely busy as with most restaurants in Oakland. It's worth the wait. read more

The food and drink menu here offer a wide variety of authentic and popular appetizers and dishes, along with many tea options. I enjoyed the vegetable tempura, chicken and corn soup, and a mango matcha latte. read more

I really enjoyed my boba from here! I think it's one of the better brown sugar boba's I've had in Pittsburgh. Good balance of milk and sweetness. Boba consistency is also on point. I definitely want to come back and try more of the drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also a sit down restaurant with food too but you can just order boba quickly at the counter to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff are friendly and boba is quickly made.

Another day, another spot I'm disappointed it's my first time to. Loved EVERYTHING about this spot. The drink list is ENDLESS and full of options and customizable items. The food came out hot and fresh as they were finished in the kitchen. The lo mein made me SO happy and the satays were everything! Honestly I enjoyed everything we ordered and it's definitely going to be added into my rotation of stops. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the place was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Extremely friendly! read more

The past seven days I must have eaten here just about everyday (lol)! The staff laughs each time because we'll go to the same darn table each time; might as well engrave our name on table's edge why don't cha? i uploaded a pic of just about every dish that was eaten and every single order was near perfect. My idea of perfect may be different as this means these items are top notch: presentation, price, portion, service, and taste. The tremendous value and satisfaction plus consistency brings me back for each visit. Beef Rendang: Beef tender and aromatic seasoning resembles that of beef jerky flavor at first then once the tongue is coated, it is a totally different curry experience. Generous portion of protein but if I could, I would slice another pound of cucumbers to match! Scallion Pancakes: Ask for xtra crispy, you won't regret it. Spring rolls: light airy crispy thin outer and hot steamy veggies inside. Braised Beef Noodle: soft beef and bok choy with udon. yum. Stirfry Hotpot (maybe should be called hotpan): your choice of diff meats, veg and toppings with option to add diff types of noodles. Comes w two bowls of rice and feeds two easy. Curry Chicken: closely resembles how I make my own but just a little less sweet. I paired this up with the scallion pancake for a modified version of a Roti Canai Mapo Tofu - One of dee bestest mapo in PGH. Just remember that it does NOT come with meat so we request minced pork to add with green onions. Shrimp w ginger scallions - not many can do this, the flavor is packed in each from the other shell all the way to the core. For each bite, take a long scallion and a bit of ginger and you'll love yourself each time. All this is making me hungry, my new favorite place yinz! read more

It was cold out and we opted to try hot pot. We came in before 7 on a Friday and it was pretty busy and only got busier as the evening went on, with mix of students, families, and professionals stopping in for dinner. There are sheets that you can check off for how you want hot pot or dry pot (stir fry). We accidentally did dry pot though it was still delicious. There were multiple protein options included so it leaned heavily on being more meat forward than we anticipated. The dry pot came with rice. We were full from dinner and do want to try the restaurant again, particularly for hot pot. read more

We ended up going here somewhat impulsively and had a great experience! The individual hotpot was 50% off, so we couldn't resist getting some. We also tried a variety of other foods, including milk teas, the beef rendang (which we'd heard good things about), and some desserts. Everything was delicious! All foods came out quickly and steaming hot. The curry hotpot broth was amazing and went perfectly with the udon noodles and lamb. The tempura was crisp and delicious, and the taiwanese chicken wings with basil and garlic were out perfectly cooked and flavorful. And the chocolate basque cheesecake was a perfect dessert to share! My favorites were my pistachio matcha milk tea and the beef randang. The milk tea was just the right sweetness at 50% with a delicious flavor combination. The latter had an amazing, complex flavor with a great amount of spice (as someone who likes a bit of heat but can't handle the really intense stuff). My only recommendation is that they add more indicators on the menu about foods containing meat or pork (which I wish more restaurants would do). Finally, the staff was extremely friendly. Our server Calvin was very patient as we took forever to order, and was incredibly helpful and attentive. Highly recommend it! read more

Stopped in for my Sunday afternoon boba craving and wanted to check out a new place. It was really cute inside and it seemed like it was more of a restaurant than a boba shop but you are allowed to sit anywhere if you order drinks. Really expansive boba menu and the hotpot menu looks great too. The rest of the customers were all enjoying hotpot meals so I'll have to come back to try it. My mango smoothie was fresh and I appreciated how there was not many artificial coloring since most mango smoothies are heavily orange colored. The tapioca was really QQ (meaning perfectly chewy for tapioca in Chinese). Also ordered the scallion pancakes as a snack and they were surprisingly really good. So crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, plus they had slight spice to them but it wasn't overpowering or anything - I never have 葱油饼 (scallion pancakes) with seasoning but it was delicious. For around $6 they gave me a ton of pieces, I didn't remember to take a pic until I was almost done. read more

This place is not closed even tho google says so. Checked this place out on a random Wednesday night. Totally lucked out and they're not busy. They mentioned that this place is usually the busiest Fri-Sun. Food were amazing! I went there with a few friends and tried different things. We got the Lamb Hotpot and our server recommended to dip it with sesame paste. Beef Rendang and Curried Chicken hits the spot. The rendang is more Indonesian style while the curry chicken is more towards Nyonya style. I shared the soup hotpot and stir fry hotpot. My personal favorite between these two is the stir fry. Not picture: Fried chicken. Another great option! Not forgetting the boba selection: I tried their Snow Mountain which is Black tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Servers are very friendly and helpful. Super cute little place too! Can't wait to come back and try more stuff! read more

We got takeout of food and boba from here. The food and boba are kinda separate and they said they don't typically do takeout which makes sense because they have a lot of tables. We got yellow curry and braised pork belly. It came with two boxes of rice. The rice was cooked perfectly and my pork belly was great. The yellow curry didn't taste or look like yellow curry. It was red with potato and chicken and chicken feet. Still, was delicious but not what I was expecting from the pictures. We got two bobas, it was pretty expensive for such a small size but still good. read more

Love the bubble black tea I get it a lot here with strawberry flavor.. the food is well prepared and fresh tasting.. I never ordered the " exotic" meals I stuck to the more basic modern Chinese dishes like lo mein and general tsos, egg rolls, crab Rangoon etc.. oil for fried items always tasted new and fresh. Noodles al dente in noodle dishes.. chicken tasted fresh also.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]inside restaurant looks clean also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll order here again ! read more

My friend and I tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend! We ordered the sesame sauce mung bean noodle with sliced beef, roasted pork belly, beef mala, and tiramisu milk tea for takeout. The sesame pork was super flavorful and was easily our favorite of the orders! Unfortunately the roasted pork belly was hard and tough to chew. The beef mala was fantastic though and we appreciated how customizable the options were. I ordered the tiramisu milk tea with 50% sugar, which was the perfect sweetness level. Overall we're glad we found this restaurant and we look forward to trying more of the menu! read more

If you know me then you know of my passion for bubble tea I prefer my teas not overly sweet This place came through asking my sweetness level instead of me having to tell them I appreciate that. Ordered black milk tea with bubbles but alas they were out of bubbles Offered brown sugar it's was little cubes of thick gelatin consistency If your a tapioca bubble fan such as I consistently is very important. These tiny gel squares did not fulfill the chewy squishy goodness I was hoping for. The tea menu is extensive The service very friendly The space is nice with lots of seating I would not mind sitting and relaxing while sipping. They have a grill menu I was here for tea and time was short. Street Parking can be a hassle certain times of the day I'll be back to try the bubbles read more

I went to Yotea & Yoka Grills at night, as they were one of the few places opened later at night. I only went to try their drinks not their food! I got the osmanthus special drink, the brown sugar drink, and the window special drink. The osmanthus drink was a little too bland for my liking. The brown sugar boba was pretty good and was perfectly sweet but not too sweet. The window drink was so beautiful! It look picturesque with clouds in a blue slush. However, it tasted bland, as well. I also got their egg tarts, which were realky good! They were crispy on the edges and creamy on the inside. I hopefully would like to try their foods next time, but for their drinks, it was okay. read more

I'm not sure if this place is now closed as reported by Yelp but I just recently got food from here and it appears open in Google, so not sure. But what I am sure of is that they make some delicious food! I was immediately drawn to their egg tarts/egg custard. I have never tried these before so I gave them a shot. They were very good! The outside is buttery and crispy, and the inside is super creamy and delicious. It's the perfect balance of sweetness, so it's not overwhelming. There isn't a super strong egg flavor, either, although you will know it's made with real eggs. The price is decent, a bit expensive, but alright. Portion is also not bad; you get 3 per order. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place. They have so many unique and delicious food options, from the egg tarts to basque cheesecake to boba teas I've never seen before. I would definitely return to try the teas! read more

Haven't had good Southeast Asian food in a while, but I was not disappointed! The must try menus are the yellow curry, beef rendang, and tofu with crab roe! All are so flavorful and delicious. The beef is tender and the chicken is perfect. (yellow curry tastes like Indonesian gulai) You also have to try the hotpot. You can choose whatever toppings you would like. It's very tasty and homey, perfect for the cold days. read more

We ate dinner and had boba here and it was great! We were seated in a nice and spacious booth. For food, I really liked how we were able to customize the bowls and pick all the toppings/veggies we wanted. The dinner was really filling and very tasty as well. As for drinks, we got the snow mountain boba tea and the brown sugar boba milk tea. Both drinks were super delicious so much so that a few days later, we came back again just for the boba! Would definitely recommend checking this place out. I think this place is a great dinner spot and I might be biased, but I also think this place has the best boba in the area! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good ambiance for dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Therefore higher price and prettier plating. I don't go for the food or expensive boba drinks (the tastes are just plain average considering the price level). I would appreciate it if the beverage staff is more adept and efficient. Their milk tea is pre-blended so don't expect premium sips. It's the last Asian place I would go when I want some Asian food on an everyday situation. Very occasionally, I give in to the proximity and location. I wish the owner and manager spend more money and attention on the food quality. It would make be come back more and be less critical about the price. read more

closest boba shop to my place and i really wanted a pick me up, service was nice and quick but brown sugar boba was mid.

I ordered curry noodle with fishball ( not in the pic) yesterday for takeout and I notice how amazing the curry was that went with my order. It reminded me of my dad's curry from childhood so I ordered chicken curry the next day ( in pic ) with Hong Kong style milk tea and I would say 9/10!!! I just wish the curry had more potatoes or carrots in it. The chicken falls off the bones and super tender. Definitely caught me by surprise! Milk tea was perfect sweetness I did 70% sugar. Overall super authentic! read more

I order the on Ubereats a lot! It's really convenient as it's close to my place, and they have the best bubble tea! Specifically I like the lemon, which is my favorite (it has real lemons in it! And I always get the strawberry red heart jelly). It's nice to get as a treat after school and I just really love this place!! :) read more

I ordered a bubble tea to go, which was supposed to be an iced pineapple tea with a Boba at the time. I told them that I wanted less ice, but what I received was a completely frozen tea with Boba at the bottom of it, when they handed it to me, I told them that this was not what I ordered and told them it was supposed to be iced not frozen. At that point, a business should state that they would remake it if that's not what the customer ordered, but they were just quiet. It should've been an indication that I am not ordering a frozen drink when I ask for less ice. Even on their menu, it's specifically said iced which is what I pointed to, yet It was a completely frozen block of pineapple, not even a slushy consistency. Since they weren't doing anything about it, I took it and left. It was impossible to drink and I couldn't reach any of the Boba with it being frozen. I threw it away after attempting to take a couple sips. read more

Really pretty good. The sweet bowl wasn't my favorite (super chunky with massive pieces) but I can just cut that with my spoon so it's not that bad. The chicken wings were pretty good and I got more than I expected based on the description (said 4 United so I assumed 4 pieces but it was 8 given to me). The boba and scallion pancake were what you expect. Not super amazing out of this world but still good. Would definitely go here again. read more
