    Jasmin milk tea with all the toppings, brown sugar with ube pearls
    Alex Z.

    Such a cute and cool place, so many options to choose from and how to customize your order I didn't know what to order. I went with the most popular option the Jasmin milk tea with all the toppings, It was super good if you're into floral drinks. The toppings are cute to look at and all so tasty as well. Definitely will be back for some snack treats as well.

    Late review. It also took twenty to twenty-five minutes for two drinks (or a drink and che? can't remember what my friend got) even though it wasn't busy at the time. I've never been back since as there are other boba shops nearby that are much faster. I've also never gone to a boba shop where the worker recommends we zelle him. I can't remember what I put false advertising for though.

    The banana milk and poke-bake were much more filling that I thought they'd be. The masago poke bake was good but I don't think I'd get it again. It was beautifully put together and tasted good but it doesn't come with that much rice and the cucumber took away from the savoriness. I recommend asking for no cucumber. The banana milk with all the toppings was good. The staff member with the short dyed hair was super helpful! He explained how to eat / drink the drink since it was my first time. He said to take sips and eat some jelly as I go. There is seating inside, perfect for catching up with friends

    Banana Coffee w/o cheese cream
    Jonny T.

    I tried their Banana Cheese Coffee, without the cheese. It's hella good! The folks here are hella nice too. Right when you walk in, they ask you if you've ever tried their products, and if you haven't they proceed to help you find the drink that best suits your taste buds and cravings. The place is also very ADA compliant and friendly. This is important for me, because my beautiful wife is ADA. Thank you UJU for the great hospitality and experience! I'll definitely be back, to try your other coffee suggestions, but I'm excited to drink the banana coffee again! 20/10 overall for this visit!

    Milk Tea Full Toppings
    Generous Y.

    Visited last year, just a bit after they opened. Was hunting down boba around but gave in to trying new things here. Dessert here is similar to che but different in a way. Service was great, super friendly. Major complaint is that they give tons of ice and didn't offer reductions at the time, not sure about now. Price is also pretty steep all things considered. They do a good job at honoring sugar adjustments, so the lower levels don't taste terrible. Milk tea was also surprisingly decent for a spot that doesn't specialize in boba. If you're picking toppings, I would skip the jellies and just get the flans. While the jelly is super basic and offered at most Asian dessert spots, the flan was super soft and creamy, packed with flavor, and cheesy. Premium desserts were the items like the cheese flan while regular toppings were everything else.

    Rose tteokbokki and coffee flan
    Thuy N.

    We got the rose tteokbokki and the coffee flan, which both tasted great. The rose tteokbokki has rice cake, fish cake, sausage, cabbage. The coffee flan has coffee jelly and their signature cheese slice. I was there around noon time and they didn't have any sushi to order. The service was okay. The place is cute.

    Cute little boba shop with exciting toppings to choose from! Since it was our first time there the guy working helped us and really surprised us with the topping choices. My siblings really enjoyed coming here and we will come back.

    banana milk tea + cheese jello
    Angelica H.

    I like that this boba place copied the concept from socal (the many types of toppings / cheese jello) but I think their drinks are pretty expensive for what it is. The milk tea with 8 toppings was $9 & the cheese jello was also $3 which is quite pricy for just the jello. I recommend this place just to try if you haven't experienced having milk tea with various jellos / puddings but it's honestly a bit pricey in my opinion.

    The owners are there and they're friendly. They have drinks which are unique but their food is amazing as well. I've had their Ube Halo Halo, Spam Masubi, Rose Spicy Rice Cakes and Cheese Paws (in the pic). Great hang out spot too.

    green thai milk tea
    Megan T.

    Such a fun spot with so many different toppings to pick from! It's located in a plaza so there is a parking lot and the staff were friendly. There's a couple of tables indoors for seating. I ordered one of their best sellers, the green Thai milk tea. I typically don't like green Thai tea because it tastes a bit medicinal to me, but this spot made it well & I didn't get that flavor and really enjoyed this drink! It was loaded with different kinds of toppings like jellies, pudding, and boba. Solid spot to get your sweet fix.

    Monica V.

    Saw this on a social media video and had to check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. I like that you had options to choose which topping you wanted or just let the servers surprise you. I went with the surprise and everything was good. My husband liked them too but was only upset because he didn't know what the jellies were called so get them again. Guess I have to go back with him so he can pick his toppings.

    Definitely a Delightful Dessert Shop. Plenty of Delicious Toppings. A Great Hangout Spot with your friends and Family. They open til late Ten or Eleven pm. Nice outdoor and indoor seatings area. They always got lovely live music playing. Jasmine and Matcha Milk Tea Full toppings was strong and Refreshing!! Durian Che Thai Shaved Ice was good but I wanted it to be a bigger portion. Street Food of the day looks good that I will definitely like to try next time I'm back. They also offer other Snacks and Sushi Rolls here too. January10, 2024

    Coconut matcha
    Christina T.

    I've been going to UJU since they opened over a year ago and I think it's one of the more underrated boba shops! The drinks here are rich in tea flavor and frequently paired with their delicious in house toppings. Their jellies are soft and chewy and they are generous with their full topping drinks. The drinks here give me more of a dessert vibe which makes a memorable experience. Their matcha drinks are so good and strong with oat milk. It's on the earthy side. My favorite is the cheese matcha as a huge fan of their salty and creamy cheese foam. I tried the coconut matcha as well which was just okay. The coconut juice was refreshing but definitely overpowers the matcha foam at the top. The matcha taste became very subtle after I completely mixed my drink. I think the coconut matcha could be improved for a more prominent matcha taste. Really enjoy the white and blue interior with a space themed aesthetic going on! I'll come back for the cheese matcha :)

    BigSpoon is a Korean restaurant on Alum Rock's/East Side's White and McKee, an area I don't go to…read morethat often. The reason why I came over here fairly recently was because I visited cousins and cousin in law that live near to give them Valkyries shirts and other shirts they'll send to the Philippines in over a month, and since they plan to be sending clothes over while telling me about the place, I gave them my Kate Martin and Kaitlyn Chen jerseys for the trouble as I needed to make room for my Veronica Burton jersey, which I wore when I met up with them, and my upcoming violet Gabby Williams one. (Go Valks!) The noteworthy parts the place has are the real good amount of banchan dishes, bibimbap and the short rib, the spicy one in particular. While I probably will not visit the place again anytime soon, at least I can keep this place in mind if I want Korean food without driving to Santa Clara. There's plenty of parking behind the spot. As you come in, the place looks simple, but it works. You have the adorable ajumma/ajumni to take your order. The stuff I ordered. I had water, banana milk and kimchi fried rice. Since I was the only one that had more than 1 drink, I told my cousins and cousin in law the banana milk, and they did bring up how on occasion, you see the drink in K-dramas. Of course, we laughed on how my parents never got into K-dramas and while I'm at it, Filipino dramas. Oh well. Oh, there's no doubt the food is good, and the place is too legit (to quit) as I did hear Korean from a different table. As I typed up, there are plenty of banchan dishes. Not Los Angeles amount of banchan dishes, but there are plenty of banchan dishes never the less. The kimchi fried rice dish may be simple, but it does give off that homey feel. Can't forget how Big actually is affordable, the big reason why my cousins and cousin in law like the place so much. The reason why the place doesn't get a perfect score. The place would have received a perfect score if, the major matter I remember here, the place has mul naengmyun (my favorite Korean dish). Originally, I wanted Japanese ramen before my cousins mentioned this place, and I was ready to pivot to having mul naengmyun, but I was told that the place doesn't carry the noodle dish. (Being a very good and logical dish to eat for at the very least half of the year in a city like here San Jose is the reason why of all of the Korean dishes, I like mul naengmyun the most.) There probably is one or two minor flaws I already forgot, but the lack of mul naengmyun is the dead on reason why I don't give the place a perfect score. On a side note, it's nice that I told the group what banana milk and mul naengmyun are, and by doing so, they learn something new regarding eating at Korean spots just in case. BigSpoon is a good spot. While it may not be as iconic as the places in Santa Clara, it is a good spot never the less. It does a good job at being a Korean spot for an area that is more so known for Mexican food. If you live on the east side, head on over here because the place should get your attention. +/BigSpoon is brilliant and spiffy because it has a terrific combination of good simple food, affordability and wonderful service. -/If only the place also has mul naengmyun.

I'm glad I did and was definitely delighted by the experience. Hot Stone Bibimbap 5/5: There was a review on Yelp saying that there was no crunchy rice at the bottom and that it was bland. As a fellow Korean, let me give you some advice. Wait a few minutes and let the rice cook more because the stone bowl is still hot. lift up the bottom until you see crunchy bits and then you could start mixing. Excellent mix of seasoned vegetables and rice. They give you the gochujang bottle sauce on the side. you can adjust it to your level. Soon Tofu Soup 5/5. I've had a lot of tofu soup of what I like about this one is that it had a good balance of tofu, kimchi was not super sour like some restaurants and they give you an egg on the side. Very clean finish. Banchan 5/5: The highlight for me was the banchan. I went with a very picky eater friend and she really loved the kimchi ,the cucumber kimchi ,the fish cakes, japchae. They put a lot of effort into making the banchan - which I recognize right away. They also fill up if you run out and the dishes are larger than normal restaurants. Amazing. You read my mind. Interior 4/5: It is a smaller, more intimate seating.( about 25-30 people) . It still has the vibes of of a Korean eatery with K-pop music playing on the TV screen, wooden benches and chairs. You'll have to wait a bit if you go during peak hours and parking is a bit difficult. I suggest going within the first hour they open up when there's less crowds.

He told me it would take about 15-20 minutes, and by the time we got there around the 15 minute mark, everything was already ready to go. The soup was SO good. Plenty of tofu and a generous amount of beef. I also loved all the sides they included along with a bowl of rice. Every side dish was delicious, but the kimchi especially stood out. Honestly some of the best kimchi I've had in a long time. The portion was enough for both my daughter and I to share, though that's probably because we're both sick and couldn't eat too much. We're definitely looking forward to ordering from here again. Would love to try the seafood pancake and some of their other dishes next time!
