I appreciated how thoughtful our barista was with our drinks and kids. He overheard my husband and I talking about being concerned about the grape chunks in the smoothie for them and let us know he would blend it a little longer for them. A small gesture but it was so considerate. The store was also very clean. Overall, the drinks here are solid and the great service made our visit even better.

I remember really enjoying their drinks, so when I happened to be in the area, I figured I'd give them another try. I'm glad I did! This location had a much more welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The self-ordering kiosk was easy to navigate, making the ordering process quick and convenient. We ordered two drinks, and both tasted great! The avocado & strawberry smoothie was definitely the highlight! It was delicious, refreshing, and easily my favorite of the two. My only complaint is the pricing. Almost every drink on their menu seems to be more expensive than what you'd typically pay at other tea shops. While the drinks are good, I'm not entirely sure the higher prices are justified. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with delicious drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. I wouldn't mind coming back, especially for the avocado & strawberry smoothie, but I do wish their prices were a little more competitive.

I got their Tropical Smash drink and this drink is so refreshing. you can really taste the tea in the drink and its not just full syrup. The only thing they can improve on is their oolong milk tea. its very milk-y and not enough tea flavor imo.

The ingredient drawing for each drink is also super cute and helpful. Also love how often they rotate the seasonal drinks as someone who loves to try different stuff. Drinks we've tried: - King jasmine honeydew (4.5/5): super unique, light and easy to drink - King jasmine guava (4/5): guava and slightly milky. Taste is on the lighter side - Golden oolong yuzu (5/5): very refreshing and only 90cal - Kale boost tea (4/5): doesn't taste like kale at all more like lemonade. - Matcha cloud coconut blue (5/5): can't go wrong with this. Perfect for when you watch matcha but don't want the heaviness of milk in a latte

Coconut Mango Boom 5/5 - so good, nice creamy with generous chunks of mango - pretty much reminds me of mango sago except with a slush component 2.

A famous milk tea shop in Irvine, run by the same owner as Papi Ice Cream!…read more Last week, I went to try Papi Ice Cream, and this week, it was time for milk tea! Haha. When we arrived, the line was forming inside the shop, so we followed it in. Luckily, the wait wasn't long, and we were able to order pretty quickly. And guess what? The owner himself took our order! I thought that was pretty cool! Haha. I visited with my two daughters, and when one of them couldn't decide what to order, the owner said something that really impressed me. "Don't worry! I'll take care of you until the very end! And if you don't like what I make, we can always change it. No pressure! Let's figure it out one step at a time!" Haha! How reassuring is that?! He started with a simple question: "Okay, coffee? Milk tea? Matcha? Or regular tea?" Then he asked which milk tea shops we liked in Irvine and what drinks we usually ordered. And then he confidently said, **"I'll make you a milk tea that's even better than your favorite place!"** Haha! WOW. I absolutely loved his confidence! But what impressed me even more was how genuinely thoughtful he was with every question and suggestion. He wasn't just trying to sell us drinks. He was taking the time to understand what each of us actually liked so he could make sure we'd enjoy our choices. You could tell that he takes tremendous pride in his milk tea and truly cares about his customers. And honestly, watching him interact with us, I thought to myself, **"No wonder this business is so successful!"** That kind of confidence, passion, and customer service is something special. Anyway, thanks to the owner's wonderful guidance, all three of us ended up with drinks that perfectly matched our preferences. And YES!! They were absolutely delicious!! So here I am, writing this review to say... **THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST MILK TEA I'VE HAD IN IRVINE!!** Amazing milk tea, an owner who genuinely cares, and customer service that makes you want to come back. What more could you ask for?! I'll definitely be back!

WOW! Just wow! Omomo…read moreis very popular in the Irvine area and during peak hours, the wait can be quite extensive but definitely for good reason. The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink). Overall, I would highly recommend this drink shop to anyone in the area looking to get a refreshing beverage!

Upon entering i noticed they now offer mobile ordering and they were already busy making drinks for online orders. Considering being 2nd in line, it took a lot longer this time to get 2 drinks probs from the mobile orders. Note to self to order online next time!! The girl with the pink hair called out my name, i showed my ticket and placed it in the box. She said to show the ticket again to her because i guess she didn't see it. I showed the ticket to her and placed it on the counter. She then said with attitude i can put the ticket back in the box. Her tone and comment was unnecessary. I ignored what she said, took my drinks and left. Review is 3 stars for the interaction I had with her.

The interior is like any modern milk tea shop with nice big signs of their drinks, an ordering tablet, and very few chairs and table on the right side. I went in and ordered their sesame milk tea. The flavor was like eating a fried sesame ball and texturely hit you with the creamy milk tea, smooth and chewy boba pearls, and grainy sesame mix (whatever that may be). I was surprised at how flavorful their drink was, even if I wasn't the largest fan of sesame this was an interesting drink experience that I am happy to have tried.

I chose to go with the Mango Dew since it was more of a smoothie and it was a hot day. It had a mango based smoothie with passionfruit, one of my favorite combos. The drink with tax ended up being around $8 and it was ready in about a few minutes. After getting it, I loved the flavor and could not stop drinking it. My only complaint was that even though there was only 3 tables occupied, all the other tables were dirty so we didn't feel comfortable sitting while waiting. I think that says a lot since there were more dirty tables than clean ones. It also made it difficult to tell if someone was sitting at a table or not, or just in the bathroom. I don't believe it was too busy considering there was only one person's order prior to us ordering as well.

I usually like trying a different drink each visit, and this time I ordered the Avocado Smash. It was fresh, creamy, and really tasty. This location is much faster than the Irvine location, and the lines are usually much shorter. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes every visit even better. If you're looking for great boba with consistently high quality, I definitely recommend giving Omomo a try. You won't be disappointed!

It was 6:30pm on a Tuesday, well within business hours, which I only mention because apparently that memo didn't reach the staff. No hello, no acknowledgment, nothing. Luckily the kiosk was more personable than the humans; it had pictures of everything and nearly upsold me on macarons through sheer visual seduction. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, less sweet. My family and I waited, and eventually a name-less voice called out "Vietnamese coffee" into the void. I went up, said thank you like a functioning member of society, and got a full eye roll in return before she returned to washing dishes. Iconic. Here's the twist: the coffee was genuinely great. So great that I left happy despite the fact that I technically had zero human interaction with another human. Woo, 2026, the future is here and she's stirring your latte in silence. The space itself is clean and spacious, great for studying or a low key date. With boba spots on every corner these days, a little customer service would easily make this a 5 star spot. Docking two stars purely for the vibes (or lack thereof).

We haven't tried their waffles or drinks. The staff is friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. Their fruit is always very fresh and you can tell it hasn't been pre-cut and hasn't been sitting around for awhile. The bingsoo are made to order so it does take a bit of time, especially when they're very busy. The interior is very minimal but clean and there is a fair amount of seating but when it's very busy, you may have to eat on one of the few outdoor tables- not ideal when it's super hot out and you're eating shaved ice. I recommend going during off-peak times to reduce wait time and to ensure you can get a spot indoors on a hot day. I've been to the costa mesa location as well and I like the Irvine one better. It is located in a small shopping plaza and you wouldn't get this little unassuming spot is hidden there. We look forward to visiting many more times in the future.
