Cozy vibes, great drinks, and super friendly service! U & Me Tea is such a cute spot to grab a boba and chill. We always wait for their offers!

Got their mango pomelo sago drink! It was so refreshing and extremely fresh ingredients. Got the 30% sweetness on the drink and it was perfect for my liking. Loved it! Will visit again to try other drinks on their menu.

Place is sooo cute. My 3rd times to come.here and I always bring new people. All the milk and fresh teas I ordered were all great. Love their popcorn chicken and takoyaki too.

Super cute boba spot with delicious drinks! I got the Coco Mango Jasmine and added drinkable mochi and I loved it! So refreshing and not too sweet. My husband got the Crème Brûlée Thai and he said it satisfied his sweet tooth craving. Flavorful and creamy!

Ume Tea is hands down one of my favorite tea spots! The store has such a clean, modern, and inviting atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about their drinks, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you're looking to grab a quick drink or hang out for a bit, Ume Tea is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Super cute store and great drinks! my fav in Ume is their Mochi topping, not many boba store has this topping and Ume's Mochi has the perfect texture that I like! My personal fav drink from Ume is their Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk Tea, but this time we tried the $3.99 deal with Mochi added - Jasmine Floral Milk Tea & Ume Signature Boba Milk Tea 🙂

Delicious drinks . I choose BOBA MILK TEA AND passion fruit Green tea. The only bad thing is that we wait 20 minutes to get our drinks, but I believe it's because we're super busy, so I don't blame them. I got back yesterday again, so yummy rice tea and I had a cute teddy panda.

Ume brand goes beyond just a boba shop, it’s cute, cheerful and on a mission to bring more happiness & surprises. Ask about the Surprise Cup - an extra tall boba with a hidden plushie at the bottom. The drink is customizable, vegan-friendly. Mochi drink is their specialty, rarely can find it elsewhere or achieving the same fresh, warm & soothing effect - so a must-try. Loyalty program on Cash app. Get a free Ume rabbit every 40 points. They hug your cup and are so cute! Great gifts to someone who needs a hug.

They have quite a few location but this is the small and cute pink themed milk tea shop in Milpitas. The ordering process isn’t very social so there’s a small tablet that you can order from and they will call out your order. You can go out front to sit on these tables that have already set up so you can enjoy your food. No tables inside. Card only. No restrooms. I got their brown sugar boba w/ mochi and popcorn chicken w/ basil! Very delicious boba and they give quite good amount of chicken with chili powder on top. They also are known for their fruit teas and to-go meal sets so don’t forgot to check those out! I would come back since it was quick drinks and food 😊

We were hoping to get Fantasia, but earlier closing hours sent us to Ume and we’re glad it did. Some new flavors we haven’t tried before like red bean Mochi milk tea were interesting and equally delicious. Good, strong tea kept us up late.

Very excited ume tea(U & Me ;) ) shop recently opened in Milpitas Square! Very cute store and super great taste milk tea store! ! Their fruit tea is made from fresh fruits! Personally, I really liked the peach green tea(桃之夭夭), though white peach is out of season, so need to switch to other milk teas(mochi red bean milk tea is my new favorite :D ), and wait for fresh peach next year Ordering is easy and convenient! There’s a Kiosk in the front, I can order by myself without contacting others, which is very needed and helpful during the special pandemic time! Though there was one time we had a question, I went to the other side with ordering in person(with glass protection to keep distance), the front desk person was kind, and responsible, also very nice to give good suggestions to my friend(new customer) ! They would also nicely say “Thank You” when people picking up the orders! Sometimes, during weekend, they were very busy, but they still try to see whether there’re people waiting, and do their best to avoid people waiting for too long, which I really appreciate and understand for their hard work, and trying to serve their best! As it’s not just in-person orders, but also online orders. Now every time I go to Milpitas Square, will get some Ume tea 🍵 😋

Fun place to dine with friends. Portions are large and the food is tasty but very salty. The service wasn’t the warmest, but the food arrived fast and hot. Lots of options make it a great spot for a crowd. Many meat-free items. Our favorites were the Chow mein and green beans

The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The chicken chow mein and chestnut chicken with garlic sauce were both good, but they were missing something to really make the flavors pop. While the service was quick, it wasn't particularly friendly. The portion sizes, however, were perfect for two people.

Darda Seafood has always been one of my go-to spots for flavorful Chinese Islamic cuisine. The Cumin Lamb is absolutely incredible — tender, aromatic, and packed with bold spices. The Chili Chicken hits the perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the Three-Flavored Fried Rice is always a satisfying choice, loaded with a good mix of proteins and great texture. That said, I’ve noticed the menu prices have gone up quite a bit recently. While the food is still delicious, the cost increase makes it harder to visit as often. I hope the owners will consider revisiting the pricing it would go a long way in keeping loyal customers coming back regularly. Still a great spot overall, especially if you're craving something Halal Chinese food and well-spiced!

This place was recommended as the best place for hot noodle soup, the kind we Koreans crave after a drunken evening. I chose the seafood hot noodle soup (they have the same without the “hot”), and my friend chose a Three-Flavor Noodle Soup—no red soup base. They also provide two choices of noodles: long or cut. I opted for the cut noodle. I enjoyed the menu and will return to try the main dishes and dim sum soon. I highly recommend it.

The highlight for me was definitely the thick scallion pancake with extra scallions — this is a must-order! The outer layer is super crispy, and the inside is packed with rich scallion flavor, but without that doughy, undercooked texture some pancakes have. It’s perfectly balanced and easily my favorite of the meal. The Three Delicacies Knife-Cut Noodles were also really good — full of wok hei, with a flavorful broth, and the noodles had a great chewy texture. Very satisfying bowl overall. The rest were more on the average side: • Steamed dumplings: The wrapper was a bit thick for my taste. The filling was fine, nothing amazing but nothing terrible either. • Rice ball (fan tuan): A bit too rice-heavy and light on fillings. Not really my thing — I prefer more filling in every bite. • Fried dough with sesame flatbread (shaobing youtiao): Standard and cleanly made, but I personally like my shaobing crispier.

I really liked their sour veggies and beef soup. I think a fourth of the clams in black bean clams weren't open.

Good halal food. Lots of choices. Extremely good service. Definitely would highly recommended. I tried Sweet and sour chicken, Cumin olive lamb, Three flavored chow mein and Three flavored fried rice 😋

Darda Seafood Restaurant is good food. The spicy garlic sauce on the shredded chicken is extremely hot and really good. The red chilis are not to be eaten, lol. But other than that, the food came out quickly. This was my first visit to Darda Seafood restaurant, and I plan to return again soon. This is a guys lunch spot, and everything is prepared Halal. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good lunch spot with fast service.

I may need to try different items to find flavor. The textures were nice but the combination of meat and bamboo shoots were just okay. We ordered chicken noodle soup, it needed more broth because there was a lot of fresh noodles. The noodles in the chow mein seemed to also overpower the 3-flavor sauce. The steamed dumplings were fine, I should have used a dipping sauce. Service is quick and efficient.

We visited Darda Seafood Restaurant in Santa Clara and spent the day there. We were a group of four and we ordered a family style meal. It included Kungpao chicken, beef Chow Mein, eggplant brown sauce, sesame bread with thick crust, and white rice. The meal came with hot tea. The service was basic and average. The food was good overall. My best dish was the sesame bread. It tasted delicious and could be taken with the main meal or between meals. The food came so fast. There was less than 10 minutes of wait time. The atmosphere was casual and I could see the supply room being used by the staff throughout my meal. Overall, yes I could go back. I think you’ll enjoy this place more if you go with a big group… 4 people or more. For 4 people, we spent $105, which is a very reasonable price per person.

First time to try Darda Seafood restaurant and the food was good. We got beef with mushrooms and bamboo, sweet and sour chicken, rice, shrimp rolls and thick sesame bread with green onions. The food was good and tasty, they serve us tea before the food which was nice. Nice place to visit.

First time in this restaurant, just coming directly from the airport. There was a big parking lot and many stores next to each other. But we were told there were many smashing and graping in this area, so we took everything inside the restaurant. There were many selections in this restaurant, service was really fast. The food we had was all good, the pancakes were a really good portion.

The place is adorable and has a great atmosphere, but the drinks are just okay—too sweet for my taste.

Breanna Thompson

This was a pretty tasty place. When I visit the area I always try to go to new boba places. I didn't have much interaction with the safe because you order from a kiosk machine. Very cute place with good KPop

Ume Tea for the most part makes good tea. Their class milk teas are great, however, as a fruit tea/fruit drink enjoyer, I find they really don't do a great job of making fruit drinks. I had some of the worst boba drinks at Ume. One of which was the strawberry drink. I forgot what exactly it was called but it was sickly sweet like cough syrup. Quite frankly, it was disgusting and I actually already asked to decrease the sugar if possible and it's like they tripled the sugar content. I had to throw it out after forcing myself to drink 1/2 of it. But I have also gotten some really great drinks here as well. I really enjoy their milk tea with boba/purple rice. That is really lovely. The tea flavor is nice and strong and usually not too sweet, perfect for Asian taste buds. The service usually is good and the drinks come out fairly quickly. Overall, a decent spot for boba in the area.

We’ve been coming here every week, but unfortunately, the experience has been going downhill over time. Each visit, the place feels more run down and neglected. The quality of the drinks is very inconsistent — sometimes good, sometimes noticeably off. What’s most disappointing is the cleanliness. The store is often dirty, with trash on the floor and seating areas that don’t feel well maintained. It’s frustrating because this place has so much potential, but the lack of care really shows. We hope management takes these issues seriously, as it would make a huge difference in bringing the place back to the enjoyable spot it used to be.

1Star (once a 4Star) Darda Seafood Restaurant For decades, this restaurant was renowned for serving some of the best northern Chinese noodle soup in the area. Unfortunately, things have taken a dramatic turn for the worse. We ordered the beef noodle soup, a dish we’ve loved for years. To our dismay, it tasted like nothing more than soy sauce diluted with water—overly salty and utterly lacking in depth. There were no vegetables except a few green onions, and the beef, once tender and flavorful, was reduced to tiny, flavorless pieces measuring no more than ¾” x ½”. We also tried the once-famous Lamb with Green Onions, a dish that used to boast rich texture and flavor. Sadly, it had been shredded into dry, tasteless meat floss that bore no resemblance to the original dish. The Tea-Smoked Duck was another disappointment. It was extremely dry, difficult to chew, and filled with shards of bones, making it almost inedible. When we politely raised our concerns with the servers and hostess, we were met with dismissive attitudes and defensive rebuttals. They insisted that “no other customers complained,” leaving us feeling unwelcome and shocked by their arrogance. The overall service was unprofessional, careless, and riddled with bad attitudes. Combined with food that lacked freshness, flavor, and attention to detail, this experience was profoundly disappointing. We do not recommend this restaurant, and it’s heartbreaking to see a place with such a strong legacy fall so far from grace.
