Yaya Tea Brooklyn Reviews
10/10 service and food. Good seating too.
Very cute store. The owner there is very sweet and caring.
I got their smoothie option and it was mad yummy. And they have these cute free stickers on the side you could grab that are actually kinda fire. Same w the atmosphere, it’s good vibes in there.
We ordered catering for a party and Sam was super responsive and helpful! He made sure all was in place and delivered the food on time. The onigiris, yakisoba and boba teas were a huge hit!! Highly recommend !!
Yummy rice balls and drinks are a classic, been coming here since high school and still a great place for quick eats and drinks! Uodate: their chicken rice balls are halal!!! Confirmed by the owner :)
I love the rice balls most. They are very filling and so delicious. They make them fresh, so they are always warm which is fantastic, imo. I usually pick some riceballs up to munch on as I run errands in the neighborhood, but there is seating available in case you want to chill while you eat. Love this spot
We frequent here because they have really good bubble tea flavors and the rice balls are awesome. Try the chicken or shrimp tempura or try it yaya and it comes with seaweed salad.
There are plenty of flavors to choose from here! I love the fact that they have three vegan “meat” options which were delicious. I would def stick to the small size and the large one just has more rice and not enough filling. Otherwise, the service is great and the onigiris are a good way to have something light on the go. The drinks are great as well. I love their names for the drinks (makes it easier to remember) - the Boyfriend is delicious!
Ordered a Brown sugar milk tea boba 🧋, Thai milk boba tea and fried lobster rice ball and it was so amazing that we keep talking about going back and getting more lol! The teas were great and super flavorful i would love to make mine a more tea flavor next time but it was perfect how it was to be honest ! (This is the first place that offers a brown sugar without having to add boba ) Can’t wait to go back and try more of their delicious food ! 🍙
Service was good! I got the shrimp and the chicken wrap. The packaging is cute! I’d go back again!
Went here for the first time today. I love it so much. They have such a good selection of bubble tea flavors and it’s a good price for the size. I got Blue Blood and it was so yummy.The nigiri was also really good and fresh for 3$.I just wish they had more sitting room. also had yummy japanese snacks
Cute little tea/Asian snack shop! The milk tea is good and not too pricy, the decor is alright and there’s plenty of seating and nice staff. Cool little ye/hangout spot with a lot of variety, I’d go again and their cups are super cute!
My experience here was awesome!! I got a mango lychee bubble tea which was amazing! They sell lots of snacks as well, and the service is awesome. I had a great time chatting with the owner who was delightful! The prices are fair and the quality of the drink awesome.
I like their drinks and rice balls. My favorite is the yaya shrimp tempura onigiri. The store also sells cute accessories plus Japanese snacks and drinks. Service could be a little faster.
Ordered pickup and it was ready within 20-30 minutes👍. Got some riceballs, takoyaki and the jasmine green milk tea. The riceballs were good like usual and their takoyakis were good too. The drink was ok... didnt really taste much jasmine tbh... Overall it was good 😀.
My to go spot for a light snack and a refreshing drinks. The names of their drinks are quite weird and odd but the drinks are great! Highly recommend - Period pad, -Husband -Boyfriend -The hulk -Atomic wedge
Personally I love their rice balls, but their drinks changed they once had a flavor that I loved. I bought hundreds of taro bubble teas, but now they aren't the same. I will only be purchasing rice balls until I know it is fixed. I knew about this for a while, but I just remembered to leave a review.
Recently purchased spam onigiri and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I was shocked to find a hair in both of my rice balls. It immediately ruined my appetite and left me questioning the hygiene standards of the restaurant. Hygiene and cleanliness are essential in a dining establishment, and I hope Yaya takes this matter seriously to avoid similar situations in the future.
I’m utterly disgusted with this place and the order that received. I always come here to order some drinks with food I wasted over hundreds of dollars here and today ordered a large hulk and found the largest longest black hair in my drink after I drank the whole cup I realized it all the way at bottom of my cup this is the most disgusting nasty thing someone can ever do I can get sick or anything I can’t believe this store would allow people to not wear hair caps and the fact this can happen I’m never coming here again and no it’s not my hair because I don’t have any hair!
Came in with my reusable Yaya Tea Glass bottle and was told that there never was a 10% discount for anything DESPITE what their official website AND menu advertises -- how could you tell me it's not real when it's printed right on your menu?! My total was over $50 and this location couldn't even reflect what their own printed menus advertise. One of my onigiri wasn't even wrapped properly. Check my receipt attached. I didn't order anything strange and wasn't eligible for the 10% bottle discount.
