I know there's an abundance of boba places in San Jose, but I-tea is definitely top tier!…read more Decided to pop in this shop for lunch. The menu was huge. Typically I'm skeptical of places with huge menus like that (quality over quantity mindset) but I was soon to be proven wrong. I ordered the mango lemon breeze from their jasmine series, a basil popcorn chicken, and a tofu dish. The drink was super refreshing, had fresh mango chunks and a big serving of perfectly chewy boba. The drink was definitely 10/10. The chicken was super hot and crispy, definitely fresh from the fryer. They seasoned it really well, and garnished with basil and garlic. Unfortunately, it was a little dry, and could have used a dipping sauce. Overall the chicken was a 8.5/10. This brings us to our final dish, the tofu. It was a more silky tofu, which was harder to skewer, but still tasted delicious. The presentation was beautiful (see below) the mayo, teriyaki, and furikake toppings gave the tofu great flavor and looks. Definitely a 10/10 dish. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be coming back. Some of the best boba/snack options in San Jose.

And after moving to San Jose 3 years it has truly become one of my comfort spots. Every single time I walk in, I'm taken care of. The staff is kind, efficient and have been pretty friendly every time I come in. My usual is the Jasmine Green Tea with honey and boba, and it never disappoints. The tea is always fresh and fragrant, not bitter, and not watered down like other boba spots. The honey adds that smooth sweetness without overpowering the jasmine, and the boba is consistently soft and chewy. If you're a texture person like me, you know that matters. What I appreciate most is the consistency. In a world where service can feel rushed or impersonal, this location keeps it simple and does it right for me. Clean space, quick service, quality drinks, and some pretty bomb food! I highly suggest their Y22 Beef Don Buri Rice Bowl. My absolute favorite.

To me this is more of a dessert type of drink. But still sooo good. Orange Li Li tea: fragrant tea with orange pulp. The tea flavor is strong and pairs so well with this fresh orange juice taste and the pulp. I love pulp and the pulp all throughout the drink means I don't need extra toppings!

The drinks are good too, although I do tend to need to ask for a less sweet drink. You can also order bulk here for parties at a pretty fair price. I certainly didn't regret doing so for a party I had with friends. They also gave us ice. For people with kids, I would highly recommend this place. 10/10.

Although I got (50%) sweetness, it was still really sweet which I'm not sure if that was how it's supposed to be or if they made it incorrectly. The pineapple tea was tasty overall, fresh with a great mixture of pineapple and green tea notes. The stow itself was clean and had games to play.

It's really cute that they have a bunny for their store logo. You place your order at the kiosk. I love fruit tea, so I checked to see what they offered for that. I chose the passion fruit & watermelon green tea with 30% sweetness and less ice. It took about 5 minutes for my order to be ready. They get a lot of online orders. So there wasn't anyone else inside at the time I was there, but they were busy in the back getting orders ready. My tea was very delicious and refreshing. They use fresh fruit to make their teas. I immediately tasted the watermelon right away. There were even little pieces of fresh watermelon inside. I didn't taste the passion fruit. That might be because I asked them not to add the passion fruit seeds. I still loved my tea, and I would order it again in the future.
