Love Yifang tea so was excited to try Maymay's in the same building. Hands down .. no complaints . Everything was delicious ! And portions are huge ! My personal favorites were the mango sago and the pork adobo. I grabbed a bunch of onigiris to go and we even ordered more food to go. The mango sticky rice drink goes as well as you can expect with sticky rice trying to be sucked through a straw , but nonetheless delicious . By the time I got to the bingsu I barely had room I was so full. Same owners as Yifang, Super nice couple. Everything was clean. We carried my baby's stroller up the stairs when we got there and they told us about the side ramp so we didn't have to carry him out again which was considerate and thoughtful . Hoping to come back again soon for some more mango sago! read more

I've had this spot on my list for a while and was happy to see Filipino cuisine in Walnut Creek. I actually tried contacting them multiple times via social media and via email to see if they could cater or if I could order dessert in bulk for a party back in January and never got a response. Even with that said, I still wanted to support. My mom and I wanted something quick and filling but didn't want burgers or tacos in the area so we decided to finally try Maymay's. I didn't realize it shared the same space as Yi Fang, so keep in mind it really is a place to snack and not dine. I read someone saying they had the best sinigang and adobo so I had to try it. I ordered one chicken adobo and one pork adobo. The girl who rang me up told me I would be called when my order was ready. She was preparing the rice and another male employee came out and was packing the meat and left it on the counter. She asked why he packed 2 pork adobos and his response was enough for me to not want to come back. He had a NASTY attitude and smart remark, he basically said it was obviously not the same and that he knows how to read the ticket and it honestly just made me feel hella awkward for the girl because of the way he talked to her. She seemed like she shook it off and then proceeded to tie the bag of my order. She then asked him if he wanted her to transfer the adobo he brought out in a pot from the back and he didn't respond. She then left my order on the counter without saying anything and started transferring the food anyway. So now I'm like.............. is my order ready or nah? I made my niece ask cus it was hella awkward and before that whole encounter another employee just started her shift. She was also the one who responded and was handing me my order and reading her face you could tell she also felt awkward about the situation and apologized. After the man left I asked the girl who rang me up if they were related or if he was just rude af and she said that they were and that it was her brother in law and the other girl mentioned he was the owner/boss. Regardless of being related or not I wouldn't want to work in an environment like that. What made it even worse was the food wasn't even that great lol. I'm sure there aren't a lot of people in Walnut Creek that know what adobo is supposed to taste like. When my mom and I took a bite my mom literally said "why is it like this?" Before I could even get a word out LOL but I was thinking the SAME thing. The adobo was HELLA sweet. It didn't have that savory and tangy flavor it's known for. There was no sour/salty/garlic coming through it seemed like just sugary meat like bad teriyaki... it was weird. The portions are decent but it doesn't matter if it's not getting eaten. Ugh, I just hate wasting food and I paid $18 each. Also a lot of the bowls were taken up by 3 hard boiled eggs. My daughter who has a sweet tooth on the other hand didn't complain but what 3 year old doesn't love sugar lol. My experience and the food was disappointing. I wouldn't come back unless it was for Yi Fang. read more

Extremely disappointed with the desserts. Tofu Pudding with Coconut Milk & Sago: The tofu had the firm texture of medium tofu--not silken at all. Mango Sago: Unpleasantly thick and goopy. I'm not sure how much flour was added to the coconut milk, but it literally had the texture of Elmer's glue. Definitely wouldn't recommend or order these again unless they fix their recipe. I have never been to an asian dessert that served asian dessert this bad. read more

The onigiris barely had anything in between the rice, very skimpy on the imitation crab. Shelf is almost always empty, you'd have to wait for 10-15 mins so they could start making it for you. The drinks taste kinda fishy, like it's mixed (or contaminated) with the onigiri ingredients. I was so excited when this place first opened, my friends and I would go here all the time. But i don't think I would go back unless the portion/quality issues is addressed. The only good thing is the staff who works there are nice. I've seen the owner a couple times but he doesn't greet and say hi to the costumers, he just walk past them. read more

Maymay’s Cravings - Strawberry matcha - Asian Fusion Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Main draw: onigiris. That's it. The rest of the menu doesn't matter to me. But at $4.50 a piece, uffff, that's a lot. They do have yesterday's onigiri that they sell at a discount - $3.50 per onigiri or 3 for $9 - and that's more in the ballpark of what it should cost. Still, glad this place exists in Downtown WC! read more

I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am this shop exists! I'm currently under the weather and whenever I am, I crave Filipino arroz caldo for a good meal. On a whim, I decided to type it into DoorDash and MayMay's Cravings came up. I decided on arroz caldo, salmon onigiri, buko pandan, and an iced ube matcha with oat milk. I enjoyed every single item I had and immediately had to write my review. Being able to order and eat food that reminds me of home (without having to put in the effort to make all of it myself lol) brings me so much joy! It's also sweet to know that food from my Filipino Asian culture is readily available for others to experience :) Food overall was 10/10 and I can't wait to actually visit in person to try more of their menu. Woohoo! Hats off to the owners for sharing the culture with downtown Walnut Creek! read more

Maymay’s Cravings - Iced ube matcha with oat milk, arroz caldo, salmon onigiri, buko pandan. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We walked past by this spot last time and I made it a point to come try it out. Maymay's is co-located with another business (Yi-Fangs). I think the Ats very smart each business' customers will likely check-out both spots. The staff were all friendly, they greet you with a smile as you come in. There's only a few tables inside, it's not very big. When it's busy be prepared to grab and go as there might not be a place to sit and eat. The food is good. We ordered the pork adobo and arroz Caldo from the food menu and Ube latte and Thai tea from their drink menu. All very good. I like their version of the pork adobo. The meat was tender has a bit of sweetness to it. The egg in it though was a bit overcooked (tasted dry). And the egg in the arrow Caldo was not warm. Also, they gave me lime vs. lemon for the arroz Caldo and it was in the dish. I'd rather have that in the side so that I don't have to fish it out of the bowl. Couldn't squeeze anything out of the lime :D. The drinks were very good! My Ube was made with standard sweetness (and it wasn't too sweet) which I loved and it tasted so creamy!!! I'm giving my overall experience 4stars because customer service was great, the food was good, and you get a big serving for the price you pay. I will have to come back and try their onigiris. read more

Cute Asian snack spot that opened next to Yifang, replacing the previous ever-abandoned kettle corn business. Maymay's main thing is dressed-up instant ramen, but they also sell onigiri, pudding, boba, and other light bites. Minimal decor, very local vibe. Friendly staff and simple offerings. We got one of their creamy lobster ramens to share, topped with fish ball, egg, and crab stick. Their boiling stations are self-serve-- pretty easy to operate. Overall, the ramen itself is fine. I appreciate the variety. The toppings are good. Nothing you can't find at 99 Ranch. I will note that their onigiris are delicious and more generous with the fillings than other spots in the bay. I love the concept but the price, whewww :') I get that I'm paying for the convenience, but $3-9 for a pack of ramen then $1+ for each topping? I gotta be in some elevated level of laziness to justify it (spoiler: 60% of the time, I am) read more

Maymay's Cravings has replaced Cornology and shares its space with Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea. I picked up a couple crab onigiri and although they were a bit on the plain side enjoyed them (they will also make to order if they're out) but the honey didn't care for the ramen process. Maymay's is definitely a good fit for the space however I'd love to see more flavors for the onigiri with the ability to easily add or replace toppings. A tablet set up similar to what Triangles does would absolutely be appreciated. read more

So happy I found a onigiri place in the east bay! Last time I came into Yi FANG, Maymay's was closed, so I did not pay attention to it. Quick booth with lots of varieties of items: instant noodles, drinks, onigiri, etc. I like that prices were very affordable and staff friendly as friendly. I like that it's simple decorations and quick place to pick up food and drink items. Clean and bright. Will come again! read more

We've been wanting to stop by here and finally got to try this place. It did not disappoint! It is located on Locust Street, and it shares the building with Yi Fang. The staff is very friendly, and it looks like the same owner runs both businesses. Parking can be tricky in the area, but there are several parking lots nearby. We didn't try Yi Fang but we ordered a few things from MayMay. -First, the Onigiri was delicious! 5/5. It reminded me of 7/11 onigiri in Japan. It has the right amount of meat and rice. I had the spicy tuna one and it was good. -I also ordered the Buko Pandan dessert 4/5. This was surprisingly a very delicious dessert. It comes in a medium-sized cup, suitable for eating with a spoon, like a dessert, but it feels more like it should be in a regular boba drink cup. It comes with jelly but it is runny like a drink. It is sweet and it tastes like coconut. If you don't like too sweet beverages make sure you ask to change the sugar level. Regular is too sweet. -My husband ordered the Taho 2/5 and this was our least favorite. First it is cold. It also comes with some crystal-type pearls, but being cold was not something we were expecting. The tofu is also a bit hard and it is not sweet. This was something we wouldn't order again. The cafe also offers instant ramen and various toppings to add to it. Overall, this place is fun, offering a good variety of items. I only got to try one Onigiri but I want to try others. read more

I've wanted to try Maymay's for weeks but was waiting for a dinner night is Walnut Creek. We were originally in the area for Yi Fangs but after I read the exotic Filipino ingredients, then I wanted my kid to try something new at Maymay's. When we walked in, he immediately asked where the popcorn went (which is funny for a toddler to notice), and we told him that it's a new replacement. First he wanted the Strawberry Sago because he thought that the picture looked like a cake. I explained that it was a drink, and he still wanted it in drink form. It was prepared in a relatively quick time we liked the cute container. We're so surprised that the container first of all was so well-made that it didn't spell when we took it home in our super bumpy ride and then the food inside was not too sweet which is something I was able to share with my son and eat the fresh strawberries inside and we're super happy that it was still delicious, but not overly sweet and it tasted like it was real ingredients not artificial sweeteners, which is not our favorite thing. We will be back to try the halo-halo. read more

I was so excited to try this place, but I'm not sure I'll be back. I visited 5/30 around noon. Service: When it was my turn to use order through the kiosk, it died somehow. No worries - I let an employee know and he tried to fix it before we moved to just order through the register. He informed another person with a buzz cut who condescendingly said "well just turn it back on" as if we hadn't been trying to do that. In the middle of me talking with the cashier, the rude buzz-cut guy interrupted to shout accusations that the cashier dude was doing other things wrong and breaking other equipment. The cashier had to step away in the middle of taking my order to address. Coaching should not happen while a customer is trying to place an order, nor should an employee receiving coaching be spoken to so rudely. Felt like i witnessed verbal abuse more than it felt like coaching. While waiting for my order, I continued to observe buzz cut dude speaking rudely to the cashier guy + another staff. Both of the other staff were very kind. Food: I ordered spam musubi + arroz caldo + strawberry matcha Strawberry matcha: unremarkable Spam musubi: delicious. If I return it will be for this Arroz caldo: mid-way through eating I noticed the center of the chicken was cold. I'm assuming they keep the porridge hot-held and keep the chicken in a fridge so they can portion out a serving when ordered. Im assuming the chicken is supposed to be warmed through a microwave or something. Mine wasn't warmed all the way so the middle of my chicken was cold. I couldn't continue eating when i realized. Overall: cute shop but i had a poor experience. Rating 2 stars because the cashier was very kind and the musubi was delicious. Arroz caldo had potential if my chicken wasn't cold. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I assume the buzz cut guy might be an owner. Because if he was not an owner, I cant imagine he wouldn't be fired by now. This is most likely not his first time behaving this way. It is unacceptable to yell at an employee in any situation, but especially when they are mid-interaction with customers. I'm bummed to leave a poor review and would love to support filipino businesses, but if this guy really does own this place, I just can't in good conscience. I hope the staff can find other jobs where people treat them kindly. read more

Maymay’s Cravings - Spam musubi, strawberry matcha - Asian Fusion Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The only Asian snack bar in Walnut Creek has just opened! This place rivals Dal Dal in Pleasant Hill and has taken over the previous spot where Cornology was. A very unassuming place when you walk in, but has so many different items! There's a menu for made to order drinks, a prepared desserts menu, and a menu for Ramen Bar toppings. [+1 star] Walking in on a Friday night, the onigiri selection was pretty barren (as expected). But they were not completely sold out! Still had lots of tuna mayo onigiris and a couple salmon onigiris left. I was surprised to see how many flavors they offered. The prices were very fair for onigiris - ranging from $4.50-$4.75 depending on the flavor. Spam musubi were priced at $4.50 each. I ordered a spicy salmon onigiri and was surprised at how much meat there was inside! Definitely justifies the price. [+ 1 star] What I like about MayMay's is that they offer a combo mix and match where you can get a combo of three total with your choice of spam musubi and onigiri for $12. You can upgrade to include a drink with your combo and get a Thai Tea Latte or Jasmine Tea Latte for $15. [+1 star] They also have a separate fridge that sells day old onigiris. The day old onigiri menu offers the exact same flavors as the same day fresh onigiris. The price is 3 for $9 or $3.50 each. Of course this was empty on a Friday night. I'd expect these to sell out pretty fast any day of the week. [+1 star] Expansive options for grab and go drinks and also many options for their desserts menu and made to order drinks. Also various options for instant noodles - some common flavors and some niche and some rare flavors. I haven't even seen some at Dal Dal! Excited to try drinks, desserts, and the ramen at my next few visits! [+ 1 star] Staff was friendly and patient to answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated. Once I got my food, I sat down in the shared seating area they have with Yi Fang. There were only 3 tables that seat four and 2 high tops that seat a pair each. I've never had issues with finding a table when I go in for Yi-Fang drinks, so it shouldn't be a problem if you're going to MayMay's. read more

May May's seems to be a pop up embedded in a boba shop. It was disorganized and the staff seemed clueless. We were looking to order the Japanese curry but it wasn't on the order kiosk. The staff told us that maybe we could order from the guy in the back. Meanwhile we learned the ramen was basically cup-o-noodles poured into a bowl. We decided to go elsewhere. read more

The person who helped me was very sweet! I got the strawberry matcha, spicy tuna, spicy crab and salmon onigiri, buko pandan and the dubai chocolate sold by the cash register. I recommend the strawberry matcha and all the onigiris. the buko pandan needs a bit of work, it tasted like the juice in the nato de coco jar. way to watery, too sweet and sugary. Hard to explain but it was not giving buko pandan. I definitely do not recommend the dubai chocolate they sell at the cash register. I should've known it was too good to be true when I saw 2 for $5. It tasted like old and plastic-y chocolate. After I figured out that I didnt like it, i looked for an expiration date and didn't find one . Other than those two that I don't recommend, i love the many flavors and selections they have of drinks and desserts on the menu. I also love seeing the filipino flavors on the menu. read more

Absolutely love this place! The people that worked there in the front counter and the back are just so kind and so friendly and so helpful. I didn't realize that you could get food there but you can. It's not just a drink place. They're having a soft opening, but the ambiance was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place and I hope they continue to do great business. They had a special where you got three onigiri and a thai iced tea all for $15. That's a great deal. The onigiri was delicious. We got the salmon, spicy crab, and regular crab. The only complaint I have is that the sticker for the restaurant is so thick that you can't rip through it to open up the onigiri wrapper properly. I think the sticker for the restaurant needs to be thinner or not over the red pull tab. The Thai tea was really yummy. read more

I had DoorDash delivery of: Arroz Caldo, Sinigang, Kare Kare, and Taho. I've been in Walnut Creek since 2005, and every now and then I miss my culture's Filipino food reminiscent of my mom and grandmother's home cooking. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the aforementioned dishes were spot on and incredibly satisfying. The flavor was very close to what reminds me of my childhood. I am happy to support a local small business and know that there is an option for Filipino cuisine in downtown Walnut Creek. Keep it up Maymay's Cravings! You're now that go to for me when I need the comfort food I crave for! read more

Build your own Instant noodles & more Price : $ Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Maymay's Cravings is a fantastic new restaurant that I'm excited to continue supporting whenever I'm in the area. It felt like the noodle selection should have more options. The service was incredibly helpful when we were making our dishes. We opted for the carbonara buldak noodles, which were delicious! I especially appreciate the wide variety of toppings available to customize your noodles, all at a very reasonable price. The spicy crab maki was a standout - perfectly balanced and incredibly addictive. While I'd love to see salmon or tuna maki on the menu in the future, the overall experience was amazing. We'll definitely be back to explore more of their offerings, I would like to try next time their Filipino dishes and drinks. read more

Service was good but food wasn't great. It's my first time ordering from Maymay and I was disappointed. I ordered Adobo, Kare-kare and pork sinigang and paid $60. here's my review for the 3 dishes: 1. Adobo- fatty, sweet. Doesn't taste like authentic adobo. 2. Pork Sinigang- bland, not even sour. meat was dry and half of the soup spilled in the bag cuz lid was loose. 3. Beef Kare-Kare- looks good but lacks peanut flavor I called the restaurant and I addressed the issue but the lady told me to call again tomorrow to speak with the manager. It's ridiculous to find out that the guy who packed my order was actually the manager ( Terrence ) who i instantly recognized here on yelp. The lady who I spoke with didn't even try to help. I'm very frustrated and $60 was not worth it. read more

Maymay’s Cravings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Cute little gem of a convenience style store right next to Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea! They carry a nice variety of Asian instant ramen noodles, drinks, and prepackaged foods. We only tried the onigiri (mix & match 3 for $12), so I can't speak for everything else, but I love onigiri and it was great to see multiple flavors available. Sadly, they were out of the spam musubi that day. I'm giving four stars for a few reasons: 1. The large glossy "May May" sticker on the packaging made it almost impossible to open the onigiri the traditional "string pull" way. You have to peel the top shiny layer of the sticker off first, and even then, it's still tricky to open with the large surface area of sticker residue left on. A different type of sticker that's smaller or repositioned might solve this. 2. The three onigiri we bought all came in different shapes and sizes (esp mentaiko)...some rounder, some thicker, and some more triangular. Not a big deal, but it does affect consistency and makes opening them a little harder since the packaging and seaweed were designed for a triangular shape onigiri. 3. The wrapping wasn't sealed on all three corners of the triangle on any of the onigiri, which left pretty obvious opening gaps. Perhaps they were left to let steam escape but they caused some filling/rice to spill out in the bag, which also didn't feel very hygienic. The gaps also meant that the rice would dry out much faster if left out or kept in the fridge. I ended up taping the corners of what we didn't eat once we got home. That said, the rice and filling portions were generous and tasty, which I really appreciated. They seem to be newly opened, so I'm sure with a little more practice things will get even better. I'll definitely be back to try them again! read more

Maymay’s Cravings - Arroz Caldo and Thai Ice Tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

You guys serve Spam musubi with raw Spam. Most of the items on the menu were not available. Fridge displays barely had any food in them.

Maymay's Cravings is on Locust Street between the Gather venue and the Dragon's Arch restaurant. The overall atmosphere is simple but clean. In the store, it has both Maymay's Cravings at the front and a Yifangs a little more inwards, so you can get a drink and a snack, all in one. There's ample seating near the entrance and farther in the store are some tables if you do decide to eat some instant noodles. This store is honestly my go-to when it comes to instant and convenient food. Almost akin to the Japanese and Korean 7/11s. Whenever I walk in, I'm always greeted with a welcome! The instant ramen selections are displayed next to the onigiris and there's a pretty large selection of both! Ranging from jjajamyeon, to classic spicy, and even tteokbokki from what I remember? I was surprised by the variety! It operates just like those ramen bars where you make the ramen on these machines. You can ask for toppings for your ramen at the register, which is always a plus! I personally haven't tried them, but i've always wanted to. They sell some drinks to be made but if you don't have much time, they also sell some drinks beside the counter if you need something really quick. The service is very nice. I believe it's a family owned business? Both the owner and the girl operating the business are incredibly nice, going above and beyond in helping the customer and you can tell they work hard. Definitely come by if you're looking for a quick bite before work or during a lunch break! read more

Reduce the prices. $7 for buldak that you have to make yourself is outrageous and you don't even get any extra toppings or ANYTHING. Am I paying an extra five-something dollars for hot water? Absolutely Terrible. Another thing: their instructions for making the noodles need to not be so generalized. "First Step: put your noodles and toppings into container." This one step made everything worse for me bc I didn't know how to make buldak at first and I ended up doing exactly what the sign said leaving me with watered down buldak that tastes like nothing! No point in going to a "Restaurant" that has you make things you can make at your own home for a tenth of the price. Their register also asks for a tip... for what service??? read more
