This is my second review of Lucky Tea and I just have to say when you have so many Boba choices at Westfield Valley Fair to choose from, Lucky Tea is in my opinion top shelf! Great service and very customer oriented! Very reasonable pricing compared to some of the other Boba shops there! read more

This Lucky Tea is located inside Westfield Valley Fair. They are one of the many boba shops in the mall. This mall is very busy, especially on the weeknights and weekends, so parking may be hit or miss. There are parking garages and lots around the mall - garage parking is free for the first 2 hours, then you have to pay. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. The taste of the milk tea is just slightly better than my last visit a few years ago, but it still hurt my stomach after drinking it. The milk tea was super creamy and a bit on the sweeter side with a lack of tea taste to it. read more

I've been a patron for years now. And only recently I realized I always gravitate toward this place everytime I need a good refreshing tea. I've probably bought over 100+ drinks here lifetime. There are far better places for milk tea, but no one in the bay area come close to lucky tea for fresh fruity or fragrant tea. Don't order anything else here, get the fruit tea: either sun & moon or four season. Some other fruity tea like the wintermelon or soursop are also good. Order them with less ice and 25% sugar and you can thank me later. If you want a good milk tea or a strong oolong, don't come here. This is not the place for it. read more

My favorite boba shop in the bay! If you're a coffee lover you don't want to miss this. I moved from SoCal where mocha (my go to boba was commonly an option in almost every boba shop i went to) ever since moving to the Bay Area it hasn't been easy finding a Mocha based boba drink, most shops just offer tea based bobas. Then I found Lucky Tea! Where they blend delicious coffee drinks that taste similar if not better than some of my favorite mocha drinks. Recently I tried their Lucky Vietnamese Frappuccino and that really stood out the me. So yummy and the honey boba is a must! Service has been pretty fast they have multiple ordering tablets. There is also a nice wall to take a photo op. read more

We were parked at this wing and upon walking in, VF is insanely busy. I have not been here in years. We just had a delicious lunch but h really needed a cold drink! Lucky Teas right there. You order on tablet, and wait to be called. Your order is then made by the workers and then your order/name is called when it's ready. I had a jasmine tea with cream, $8.50 with a tip. Overall ok. Nothing special. I guess I'm underwhelmed and the price is making it as much. Is it because I'm at the mall. Clean stand with 2 workers that I can see. The tea was ok. I actually really liked the lid, great concept. read more

KEEP WALKING. If you're thinking about getting a drink here, don't do it. There's a reason this place never has a line, and unfortunately, it's because it's not good. I got the rose green tea, less sweet, with aloe vera. My "Not-So-Lucky Tea" had rose petals in it, but it tasted like pieces of paper, and overall it tasted awful. The tea itself was bad, the aloe vera wasn't fresh, and drinking what tasted like bits of paper in my drink was honestly just disgusting. Yuck! There are so many better boba options at Valley Fair. And you only have to walk a minute or two away. Skip Lucky Tea! read more

Urrrggghhhh....I hate it when boba is mushy and doesn't have a good bouncy/chewy textures. Unfortunately, it's what I had at this location today! Urrrrgggghhhhhh.......... I used to like this location because when I worked at the office building located at the end of the Santana Row, I liked to stretch my legs during lunch hours by walking all the way from Santana Row, acrossed the street and to this tea shop in Valley Fair. It was my favorite me time! The tea quality a few ago was a lot better. It's too bad they didn't keep it up. I had black tea with crema and boba today. The crema was thick which was great, but it's wayyyyyyy too sweet. Again, I couldn't accept the fact that the boba is mushy! Come on.... it's a boba tea shop, this is what you do!!!! Service is also amiss. Long face and impatient. Urrrggghhhhh.... read more

It was okay. There are 3 kiosks to order from so the service was pretty efficient. It's located in Valley Fair mall so the ambiance is very... mall-like xD Drinks: 2/5 Thai tea milk tea - Flavor of Thai tea was there but it tasted really watered down. Plus, the drink lacked any creaminess to it so it was a disappointing drink. Fruit tea - Again, super watered down so the overall taste was lacking.

I love a place that's able to provide me with good wintermelon (green) tea! Ordering system is pretty efficient since there are self-ordering tablets to use OR a person to help you if you don't want to socialize. I was a bit mislead on how they showcase 2 sizes but only provide 1 with most of their orders. It's great in a sense that you're getting more! But not great for me if I intend to order for my little ones. What I didn't like was that I felt I got skimped out on the scoop of toppings for my drink. Usually, it's about an inch at most places and covers most of the bottom layer of the cup, but with the 2 drinks I ordered, I felt it wasn't worth paying the extra .75 cents for toppings that could be sucked up in 3 sips, so it was imbalanced for me. read more

Love stopping by here to get bubble tea if I'm at the mall. They have a strong tea flavor base which I always enjoy. My go to here is the Sun Moon Lake Black Milk Tea. The standard 50% sweet is good for me when I include boba. If I get it without, I'd up the sweetness a bit. There's options for a self serve kiosk or you can order at the front. They also keep togo bags and drink holders on the side for you to do it yourself too which is nice. read more

Got a drink here after on the way out after a day of shopping at the mall. We ordered on a kiosk at the side and the drinks came out quickly. Got the super fruity tea and it had good tea flavor but the turn off was the "fresh fruit" they used that were clearly not fresh. The mango chunks were super dark and rotten looking so that ruined the drink for me. But the orange and lime slices seemed decent once I opened them up. Not much service since we ordered on a kiosk and they called out the name. Would get different drinks that don't rely on fruit to avoid the risk of rotten fruit in your drink. read more

Should have checked reviews although not sure how there are 5 stars. Got Earl Grey milk Tea with boba. Tea was nasty, had some hint of earl Grey but there was some strong other smell that tasted more like chemical. Boba was ok, nothing notable but not bad. Had few sips and just couldn't do it anymore and threw it away. Probably not the best use of your $ so save it for other places. Maybe 0 person in line should have been an indicator and I should have gone with anything else nearby rather than this. Such waste of my money and my taste palate. read more

Malls in California never cease to amaze me with their variety of food options, and Westfield Valley Fair was no exception. I wandered by Lucky Tea and figured I'd give it a shot. You order at one of a few kiosks -- there weren't options to adjust sugar or ice. I forgot to mix it at first (which was a little disastrous) but once I did, it wasn't too sweet! Thankfully Service was super fast but I wasn't a super big fan because it did not really taste like tea. The crema was a nice touch, though. read more

I was in the mall and was so thirsty, so I pulled up Yelp to see what my options are when it comes to hydration. I was going to get Pink Pink, but their service was not good and they didn't have what I wanted, so I decided to try out lucky tea. And I'm glad I did. I tried the lychee Jasmin green tea with 25% sugar level, it was still a bit too sweet for me but bearable. And as the ice melts , it starts to taste better. I can definitely taste lychee, Jasmin and green tea. I also didn't have to wait too long for it. That's also a plus in my book. Overall, good solid tea place, and I might try their milk tea next time. read more

For a prominent spot in the mall, its standards to keeping the store well kept is pretty disappointing. 2 of 4 Kiosks were not working, and the customer areas were very dirty. Having white counters really expect you to keep it clean and neat. The drinks were so so... got a Wintermelon green tea, no ice, 75% sweet... it was all green tea and not sweet at all.

Because the toast is so stacked, it's a little tricky to eat with your hands. That said... it was so good I didn't really care. The açaí elixir was also pretty good. Refreshing and something I'd order again. Service was a little slow but friendly, and the place seemed fairly clean overall. I usually go for a bowl at places like this, so next time I definitely want to come back and try some of their açaí bowls -- but once I saw that PB&J toast on the menu, I was locked in. Overall, I liked this place and would definitely come back.

My go-to order is the Black Tea with Salted Cheese, it was a refreshing drink and just like what I remembered. If you're looking for salted cheese drinks, Happy Lemon is a great spot to get them!

I've never been to a Happy Lemon before. I as warmly welcomed and greeted when I entered the store. There is plenty on seating inside. Besides drinks they offer bubble waffles. I checked out the menu. I decided to order the grapefruit green tea with 25% sweetness and minimal ice. My drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. It was $6.95. My grapefruit green tea was so refreshing and delicious. It really hit the spot. I enjoyed drinking it on my way home. I would definitely come here again.

BANANA MATCHA LATTE: strong banana flavor, pretty sweet. MAZAPAN LATTE: yummy toasty mazapan flavor with some crumbled bits in there to add texture GRILLED CHEESE: very cheesy with a nice crunch from toasted bread. good depth of flavor from the multiple types of cheeses. cutely decorated as well. was a tiny bit greasy TORTA DE JAMON: thick amount of meat and loaded with saucy flavors. delicious! Overall would come back!

I ain't gonna lie; I'm all about customer service, good food, and value! When ordering, I was told they were out--of what I understood to be the bread--so I asked, "What other bread options do you have?" The cashier rambled off some options, including "white bread." Internal dialogue: "White bread? I didn't know that was still a thing." Turns out, next to the Texas toast, it was the lowest-carb option, so I opted for it. She rang me up at $14.50... $14.50!!! I said, "I don't understand--why is it more than double the price?" To my complete chagrin, she replied, "I have to charge you for a BLT. Would you like lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?" Mind you, they also offer a cheese melt for $6 that comes with the infamous "white bread" and melted cheese. All they would have to do is add the egg and bacon! At least, that's what makes sense to me. I said, "I'm sorry... I do not want a BLT. I just want what I ordered, and I'm okay with white bread as a substitute for the croissant." She insisted, "We can't do that." WHAT??!! I said, "Charge me for the melt, and I'll pay extra for the egg and bacon. How's that?" She said, "Sorry, we can't do that." Internal dialogue: "But they can charge me for a BLT and make substitutions..." It made absolutely no sense! She ultimately conceded--charged me for what I requested--and gave me this bland-looking thing that was barely warmed up, much less toasted! I went out of my way to support "my community" and introduce a colleague to this place. I was so embarrassed--for them and for us! Never again! To boot: I added an almond milk latte, which took way too long to come out. When I went to check on it, the barista looked at me confused. Just then, another customer ran up and said, "Oops! I grabbed your drink by accident--but I didn't drink from it yet." The top hadn't been opened, from what I could see. I surrendered, moped back to my mediocre white-bread sammy, and tried to enjoy the moment. I actually enjoyed the latte... I was about two-thirds of the way through it when I noticed the receipt said OAT MILK--instead of almond... Ayyy, mi gente! Jamás!

The matcha tornado with 50% sugar was really good. The milk frosting tasted like Hokkaido milk. The matcha had good flavor, not too strong. I liked how not too sweet the flavor was. My friend got peach oolong milk tea. The tea was very smooth and not too sweet. Really loved this one! I also got to try sample of their peach and vanila swirl ice cream. I really liked their hokkaido milk vanila taste. I want to try that flavor ice cream next time!

We're pretty surprised with how it came out - it was incredibly thin, imparted no flavors of vanilla, and was offensively sweet. We hate to waste food, but it went straight into the trash. Maybe we came on a bad day?

Upon arrival iJAVA doesn't seem like it would knock your socks off, simple clean decor which I always appreciate. The menu is somewhat limited for breakfast but I love that they serve it all day long. My mom ordered the eggs Benedict and I got the tri-tip breakfast burrito the eggs Bennedict was so yummy and I was amazed by the potato and bacon that came as the side for over $21 though I will say it's on the pricier range. The beef brisket breakfast burrito at $17.95 was very reasonable in my opinion as it included very high quality beef brisket that was so tender. I'm usually not a fan of barbecue sauce, but it works well here! Both portion sizes were great! You will leave full Overall, I was super impressed by this spot and I'm so happy we have a brunch spot that's halal. I would 100% come back. Especially since the service was kind too. Oh and parking isn't great so factor in an extra 10 minutes for that.

Nice to have this mango dessert place in the food court of the mall …read more It used to be at Milpitas and Cupertino only and it is quite had to find parking in ethe same parking lot of those two locations . Valley fair mall has a lot more parking structures so more parking . However , strongly recommended that you avoid the weekends. Even if you try to get out of a parking garage like 3 pm , sometimes the wait could be 2 hours !!! I ordered D5 mango coconut drink with aloe Jelly . It is not too sweet and I love the coconut juice and the chewy of the aloe jelly. The mango is fresh and sweet . There are other varieties on the menu : mango ice cream , mango pudding , mango crisp and pudding , etc . We placed the order then found a table to sit down . It was fairly fast ( less than 5 minutes ) then our drinks were ready . The flavors are very consistent every time we visited .
