Compulsive stop to get tea on a hot day. Cute shop. Clean and friendly staff. I got the sunset tea, which has peach, mango and lychee. I appreciate that you can choose how sweet your tea will be. I got 50%, which was good. I'll probably go down to 25% next time, but that's personal preference. I really loved that the tea was made with fresh fruit. No powders, sweeteners or artificial concentrate. That's usually what I find at most tea places. The teas here are brewed fresh daily and made to order. No bottled teas and you can see exactly what's in your tea. They offer a wild variety of teas, including milk tea. It's about $6-7/drink. A tad steeper than average, but do appreciate the freshness. Will definitely return to try more of their selections. read more

Excellent variety of drinks, customer service seems natural and not forced, the only thing I'll say is don't dine in at night as the lighting seems to be inspired by J. J. Abrams. But all in all great sweet treat location! read more

I had the signature Ulike Milk Tea. It's a black milk tea that came with flan and boba The flan was AUTHENTIC. The tea was also fairly strong and fragrant. I liked everything except that the tea level came pretty far from the brim. I ordered less ice though, but even then the milk tea was a little less than I expected. Other than that pretty good. read more

ULIKE McAllen - Potato korn dog with a Ulike Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Came to visit this town for a wedding. A boba stop is almost mandatory at this point. I looked on Yelp and found ULike tea, which is a cute, small comfortable cafe. The space had ample seating. Staff were very pleasant and fast. We got our drinks pretty quickly. The drink was surprisingly not as sweet as I would have expected for 100% sweet which is a good thing for me. Just know that if you're expecting sweeter or less sweet, it may err on the side of less sweet. Boba is pleasantly chewy without being overwhelmingly sweet. Slightly pictured is the avocado smoothie behind which my fiancé got at 25% sweet. If it were me, I'd get it at the normal sweetness level. Otherwise, the smoothie itself is blended very smoothly and fresh. Overall, happy to have tried this place! read more

ULIKE McAllen - Ulike Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Middle of most Southern TX, this is probably the best boba you are gonna find. Unfortunately, since there is very few tea shops to choose from, hence the price is a lot higher than California. The service was good. The Cafe is cozy. They serve a variety of Taiwanese snacks but I didn't try. So I can't say how authentic the snacks are. By the looks of it, the flavored tea are all made out of syrup instead of real ingredients. Such as taro is made with taro flavored powder than actual blended taro. But it's in the middle of southern TX, it will do. The tea with boba is already sweet. I usually order non sweeted tea if boba added. Because the boba is already either cooked with honey or sugar. However, my tea was still overly sweet. Probably most suitable to local patrons. In Los Angeles area, this place would get 2 star rating from me at the highest. It gets bonus to a 3.9 out of 5. Still, this shop is a better choice than other local competitors. read more

I visited since I was on a work trip in McAllen. I've also been to their main Houston location since its only a few miles from my house. Inside there are 6 tables and some bar seats. They sell snacks by the register as well as Boba bear plush and lucky cats in different sizes. This time I tried the "fruity tea" since I had already had a fruity Mexican drink at lunch. The cashier said this one is a good starter drink and isn't too sweet to begin with. I went with 75% sugar it seemed to be a good level. Just a hint of sweetness. There are 5 fruits either floating or sunk to the bottom of this one. Many customers order their drinks to go, but there were a few dine in customers as well, including myself. Got to meet the owner who was very friendly and told me about their other locations. read more

The fruity tea with lychee is my favorite. So clean and refreshing. I like that I can choose the level of sweetness. Everyone is friendly and the place is pretty clean. It's a pretty popular place because sometimes it's really hard to find a table to sit at. The only complaint I have is that I finish it super fast-it's that yummy! read more

ULIKE McAllen - Fruity Tea Fresh Milk Black Sugar Boba & Flan - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Cute place and large menu. The drinks were pricier than expected and overly-sweet (even at 50% sweetness), but still tasty. I was a little thrown-off by the unnaturally, electric-pink color of the strawberry smoothie, but liked the fruity tea and would like to try the matcha smoothie. The cashier was patient and helpful. I think it is definitely worth a return trip as there are just SO many choices! read more

Great service, the person at the register answered all my questions and was so friendly! The boba was so good! Will be coming back soon

This place is amazing. The options are unending. The price for what you are getting is great and atmosphere. The atmosphere is lively and young. The service is good when you order but it does take a little time to get your drink because of the crowd and the fact that you are getting a well prepared drink. I have not complaints about this place, I got the Sunset drink and it is amazing. read more

ULIKE McAllen - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Ulike tea, I like tea, he, she, we like tea. Ulike Tea is a vibrant and cute cafe that is a great place to relax and hang out with friends. There are a ton of different drink combinations and toppings to choose from. On most of the drinks, you can also adjust your sweetness level. I'm so glad there's finally a great value and generous portion tea/boba shop in the Valley. My GF and I came here after seeing all the great reviews and Ulike Tea did not disappoint. The staff here is very kind and gave us an ample amount of time to digest the menu. We ended up going with the Youth Tea and added Lychee Jelly. It is a bit pricey if you decide to add toppings, so I hope that in the future, they could bump down the cost of toppings from 85 cents to 50-60 cents. However, you do get a very tall cup that is filled to the brim. The Youth Tea was very refreshing and not overly sweet. It had a good natural blend of pineapple and honeydew, which is needed in this Valley heat. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their food, especially the popcorn chicken. Whenever you visit, be sure to check out their Instagram ahead of time because they do offer limited seasonal drinks on certain weekends as well. Overall, I'm really excited that the Valley finally has a fairly priced milk/fruit tea shop! read more

I love the boba and drinks at this restaurant! I have been to multiple Boba tea locations and this one has been my favorite!

Amazing boba I highly recommend the ulike milk tea with flan it was 10/10 awesome service

My family and I consider ourselves boba tea connoisseurs! We love everything about Ulike Tea. I love it so much I gave it up for lent. I always choose to give up something that I love so that I am really making a sacrifice. Does that explain how good it is? The owners are friendly, the atmosphere is fun and inviting and the menu is expansive with the option to add less or more sweetness and the boba is so fresh! Swing by Ulike Tea and treat yourself! I'll see y'all after Easter! read more

ULIKE McAllen - U Ulike Rice Paper Rolls - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Cute, bright and friendly atmosphere. Pretty quiet in general but staff is great at light conversation when taking your order. The thai tea I ordered was very satisfying!! Usually the places I go to in Houston will make it super sweet, but this one was perfect. Though I have to say it was more on the milky flavor and not very strong on Thai tea. I like mine brewed super strong. Also got to try the mocha freeze and was a good drink to wake up with!! Very solid mocha flavor. The cafe also has small bites, such as popcorn chicken to snack on. Great location and plenty of seating. The menu reminds me of most Korean tea places Ive been to- fruity teas with some classics, such as taro and Thai. Would recommend to drop by!! \o/ read more

Fun place, very cute, a lot of different tapas and drink flavors. I tried the orange, peach, and lemongrass tea which was very refreshing with distinguishable flavors. i also had a few snacks, the rice paper salad was great and easy to digest, and the popcorn chicken was freshly prepared. i had a great time and its good to see more boba places opening in the valley. read more

The RGV truly has a gem. I have been to many popular boba shops in places such as San Francisco, Houston, and Orlando and ULike Tea competes with them all as one of my favorites. Their attention to detail and deliciousness in their food has been consistent since opening. I recommend you try the matcha milk tea with flan or if you want something refreshing, the guava tea with apple jelly. They are always attempting to innovate, creating new wonderful drinks and serving authentic Vietnamese food. More importantly, the customer service is such that you feel welcomed and at home. Truly a must go if you are visiting the Valley. read more

I've been on the hunt for a tea/boba place that reminds me of my second Home Houston. I stopped by today cause I happened to be around the area and to my surprise I found this lovely place . First I got lucky they were having a lil kpop event going on while I was there. I like the selections of drink choices ( teas/smoothies) and plenty of drink " sinkers" (boba/jelly/pearls) and they have delicious snacks here as well! I ordered a Lychee Tea w/ Lychee Jelly and some Spicy Popcorn Chicken! Very delicious and I loved the atmosphere here! Probably will be my go to place when I come to McAllen!:) read more

This was my first time ever trying boba and I am so glad I was able to experience it here at Ulike Tea!! We got to chat with the guy about this location and another they have in Houston, flavors, what makes boba great, the different options etc. Very very helpful from the moment we walked in we were greeted friendly and he had so much information for a first timer like me! I ended up going with a fruity tea that tasted like pomegranate with berries, I wish I could remember the name but it was amazing, I was even able to change the sweetness level to my liking. If you read the menu you'll also see they have food and snacks available which I can't wait to try next time I stop by. It was SO CLEAN and I cannot express how important that is in any business, they even had hand sanitizer on every table decorated next to a little plant! The color choices for the decor are so pretty, I love the yellow chairs. They have so many menu options. Their social media says they host little events and change their wall decorat (this time it was for international women's day - love that!) This place is such a hidden gem I love it. I think I found my new hangout place. I want to recommend this place to everyone!! read more
