    Yuzu slush (lemon rind and ginger)
    Sydney C.

    Came in for a quick boba run after a meal. We ordered two drinks: a Yuzu Slush with lemon rind and ginger and a Sea Salt Caramel Milk Tea. The yuzu slush was bright, citrusy, and refreshing with a subtle bitterness from the lemon rind that kept it from being overly sweet. The ginger added a nice little kick of warmth that was perfect on a cold, windy day. There was a bit of a wait for the sea salt caramel drink, and when it finally came out, it turned out to be a sea salt caramel slush instead of the milk tea we ordered. We didn't want to make a fuss, so we just went with it. The slush was creamy, well-balanced, and not cloying at all. Service may have been a little slow, but the drinks were good. I appreciate spots that get flavors right and aren't afraid to lean into more complex profiles instead of just sugar-on-sugar. This definitely looked like a place that had regulars and was a cozy spot to get some boba.

    Went because my sister wanted a boba drink.. she REALLY liked the boba BUT she wasn't a fan of the drink. She got a Thai Tea, I got a Strawberry Mango slush. My slush tasted off, like it had perfume residue in it or something, not a fan. We both didn't finish our drinks. The lighting was dem and intimate but wasn't an intimate setting. The establishment was clean. The table rocked, bad. Wasn't a fan.

    This place is generally just eh. The ambiance was interesting.. the noise level was average but all the chairs/furniture is mismatched. The drink itself wasn't that bad. I got the chai vanilla (30% sugar) which wasn't that sweet. The drink itself was (surprisingly) very small, for 4.50 dollars. It kind of tastes like what you'd imagine a candle to taste like (if it tasted like what it smelled like) We also got the popcorn chicken which took a bit long to make but it was hot and fresh. It was pretty good. It's not like this place is bad, it's just not great you know?

    Mango smoothie
    MrdatTtttt ..

    Best Korean boba café ever! Such a nice spot to sit down and enjoy a casual sip of boba with some tasty food. I ordered the mango smoothie, recommended by a super cool staff member, and it was bomb--creamy, fresh, and hydrating! I paired it with the popcorn chicken, and honestly, it was the best decision of my life--crispy, crunchy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The process is simple: order at the counter, pay, grab a comfy seat, and they'll bring your food and drinks right to you. The place is super clean, comfortable, and has a great vibe. 10/10, 5 stars! Highly recommend if you're looking to chill and enjoy some amazing boba and bites.

    Bacon Kimbap. Don katsu
    Eunhye J.

    One of the best boba places in my go-to list - I've been going to BobaYolo for almost three years now and both their drinks and food are BOMB! Food has big portions and big flavors my favorites for food are the bacon kimbap, donkatsu, and jjolmyun. This time around I got their spicy rice cakes though (tteokbokki), overall experience was excellent! Service was quick, and had a very casual after school or work type of vibe to it. I'll come back again and again :)

    I opened this up after 5 mins in the car, It was undercooked,and so soggy.Horrible. And they never answer the phone! 9-26-25@2:46pm

    I opened this up after 5mins in the car, it was undercooked, and so soggy. Horrible and disappointed. And they never answer the phone. I reported this issue the next day by phone. They listened carefully and resolved it well. They were attentive to customer feedback and handled the situation effectively, so I was satisfied.

    jolmyeon, rosé tteokboki, beef & spicy fish cake kimbab, donkatsu

    Such a cute/vintage korean bunshik restaurant, definitely reminds me of small homey restaurants in korea. Food was really good, we ordered the jolmyeon, rosé tteokboki, 2 kimbabs and the donkatsu and the sweet potato fries! service was very quick, efficient, and attentive. Would recommend & come again!

    Black Milk Tea with Boba Iced

    First time visiting and ordered the black milk tea iced with boba. Paid $5.00 for the boba drink and it tasted more like a iced sugary drink and very bland taste. Disappointed and I will not get boba here next time. How can you go wrong with a regular iced milk tea with boba?! I came by and ordered in at a busy lunch time with customers dining in and the drink came out fast. However they also have a Korean food menu, which I will consider to try next time if I do come back to help support small businesses. 3 stars for the friendly staff and customer service.

    Located in a shopping plaza and nestled in between many different shops, boba yolo can easily be spotted by their signage that makes them stick out a bit more than other shops. The menu here is a fairly comprehensive menu that includes more than just boba, but food as well. The employees looked more bothered having to help someone than anything. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. The boba was older and a bit more chewy than enjoyable. The milk tea itself was really good.

We ordered 24 wings and split it to try the soy garlic, K-sweet chili and Seoul spicy. Oh my! Generous size and served piping hot. Crunchy outside with tender chicken inside.

It's been a while since we came and we're happy and satisfied. Plenty of seating and the service is good. Attended to in good time and didn't have to wait long to get our food. Love the Japanese Cherry blossom decor mixed with K-Pop flare.

    We came expecting an all-you-can-eat chicken wing experience, but they no longer have that in the…read morerestaurant. So expect the regular menu. There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

    This is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are…read moreboth 10/10. The kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and gat kimchi are absolutely delicious. I heard that the owner makes everything in-house, and you can really tell how much care and skill go into the food. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. Galbitang (Beef Short Rib Soup) - This is honestly the best galbitang I've had in both OC and LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and tender. Whenever I'm craving galbitang in the OC/LA area, this is the only place I go. Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) - The amount of ingredients they give you is amazing. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's consistently delicious every single time. It's perfectly seasoned, and has just the right level of spice. As much as I love the galbitang, I think I actually enjoy the yukgaejang even more. Pork Cutlet (Donkatsu) - This place is known for its galbitang and seolleongtang, so I wasn't expecting much from the donkatsu... but why is it this good? The cabbage salad dressing that comes on the side is seriously addictive. The portion size is huge, there's no way I could finish it by myself. It has the crispy texture of Japanese katsu, while still having a great pork flavor of its own. I honestly think this could be considered one of their signature dishes. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food with generous portions and warm service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely keep coming back!
