    My drink was good and not overly sweet. It was a papaya frappe but I didn't really taste papaya. It had a faint coconut taste to it so I'm not sure if coconut water or milk was added. There wasn't any fruits in my drink or pulp fibers. I think their fruit drinks are either from concentrate or syrup flavorings. The way my drink was blended wasn't thorough. I had many ice cubes that were not crushed. When I finished my drink there was at least 5 ice cubes sitting on the bottom of the cup. The lady helping me was nice and made the drink quick. I had a hard time hanging out there because the seating area was small and the music was a bit too loud for me. It wasn't really ideal for studying or group hang out, although it has seating I saw it as more of a grab and go kind of place.

    Goodtogo app: great deal, love that they made the drink when I came into the store. Also I really appreciate that it's two different tea flavors than your standard milk tea. Parking: parking lot available and shared with other stores. Hawaii POG with boba: orange juice with other fruit like passion fruit. Thailem Lime mint with boba: bit tart because it's lime instead of lemon, sour and sweet like lemonade. Popcorn chicken (spiciest level): bit salty depending on the chicken piece. Chicken pieces are pretty big compared to other cafes. However, it's not that crispy coating in texture when fried.

    Found this boba location using the Too Good app and decided to try them out. Great customer service and fantastic drinks. Will be back to try their snacks!

    Tried a strawberry banana drink and it was really good! Not too sweet which is my style of drink but still very flavorful. Service was super quick and the cashier was very nice. My go to before enjoying some Thai food next door.

    As far as the Drinks being super good, the games and the atmosphere is welcoming. I didn't get greeted or spoken to at all until the transaction was done. It would have saved us some time if the person behind the counter would have told us to order from the kiosks and that's the only way because the sign said something along the lines of saving time which seems like an option. Fix the customer service or create a sign that says "Must Order Here" and not make it seem like an empty space without being busy the person can't take the order.

    DIGUSTING MOLD IN THEIR DRINKS AND THE SERVICE IS SLOW!I'm pretty understanding when it's just one person working but it took 30 minutes just 2 drinks. No toppings or adjustments just a basic To top it off the drinks weren't even good. Very basic and flavorless. Not impressed given that there's plenty of other boba shops close by that are muc h better. Also, there's mold at the bottom of their cups. Looks like they add their toppings ahead of time and just keep it there. So disgusted. DONT COME HERE.

    Wanted a boba after dinner so came to try this place out on Friday. First things first it's really small and hot in here. I was sweating by the time I started ordering. There was one worker behind the counter. Seemed like he had a lot to do. No smile or anything when taking our order but he also wasn't rude. I ordered a Thai tea and a taro smoothie. It was alright. Definitely needs a pick me up and some cleaning and air conditioner but drinks were good!

    2 drinks available from too good to go

    Before visiting my family in Walnut wanted to check out this boba shop since it's on the way there. I don't know what's going on the building says Uncle Tea but my cup says FULI which I believe used to be in Glendale. Anyways I stopped by around 1:30 on a Sunday. This plaza isn't that busy considering they have a lot of restaurants and shops here. There was only one worker helping with ordering and making drinks. Boba shops should have a minimum of 2 employees. Maybe there's one in the back making food orders. But employee was working hard on everyone's order and even greeted everyone. I ordered from too good to go app to see what they would give away. I checked in when worker was done making order from previous guest. Got 2 drinks, I didn't ask what it was but tasted like some iced peach tea with blueberry popping boba. Their cups are super cute with the capybaras, I also like their straws. I'll stop by with my own order next time.

    Coconut Throne, Halo Halo, Thailem, Two Slipper Waffle
    Jordyn D.

    Uncle Tea was one of my favorite tea shops during the pandemic, so I was excited when I returned and saw that they had remodeled their storefront and menu. I had the opportunity to try three of their specialty teas, all of which were good for the simple fact that they weren't overly sweet. I'm usually someone who drinks my boba at 25-50% sweetness, and I was happy with my choices at their regular sweetness. My favorite that I tried was the Thailem, which was super refreshing and probably tastes great with boba! My least favorite would probably be the Coconut Throne because I didn't love the texture of the coconut pudding, and the flavors of the drink were super subtle. I also tried their waffle "Cheese slippers" which is exactly what it sounds like I'm not too keen on cheese, so I liked that it wasn't an overload of cheese inside. The batter was typical for a boba shop waffle, not too sweet and pretty light. All in all I'm happy with the changes that they've done at Uncle Tea and I'll definitely be back to try more.

    Uncle Tea is a solid boba joint hidden in the Walnut area. I tend to come here if I end up passing the Amar and Nogales intersections. Prices are fair in today's market and the drinks are pretty tasty. They have a cashier, and a tablet for self service. I usually get one of their milk teas such as the oolong, since it is my favorite. The store itself is pretty spacious with a couple of tables to sit at should you choose to dine in. If you're in the mood for boba, check out Uncle Tea!

    House coffee foam?
    Jennifer C.

    The house coffee was not good to me. Didn't taste coffee, had a weird after taste, and the foam on top was not good. I didn't order any foam but I guess something in the drink caused it to foam. Would not get ah

    Honey Lemon with Green Tea and Boba!

    Amazing service with equally amazing drinks!! The self service is quick and easy and the staff is super sweet!

    Love how good these taste. What a treat!!! Plus, look how cute my tea was decorated. Definitely recommend.

    This place is such a cute ice cream parlor. You don't find those anymore. When my family and I…read morevisited, we were greeted so warmly by a couple of young guys. They were so helpful. They let me know all the different desserts and options. They also explained pricing and availability to me. They showed me all the different toppings that they have for not just ice cream and sundaes, but crêpes as well. Considering I walked in here, thinking that this was strictly an ice cream place, they have a very large menu. One thing that I remember very fondly about my visit here was not that there were a lot of people here, but the people that were dining in, they were mostly families with children. That may not seem like an important thing, but to me, seeing that is precious More often than not, you see children, their parents, and even their parents parents. So sometimes you get a small group of people, but really you have three generations. Quality time like that is absolutely precious and to see them so engaged in conversation with one another and laughing the entire time and sharing dessert, that was so awesome. Sharing ice cream with my dad at an ice cream parlor near our home is a very fond memory for me. So I guess that's why I paid attention to this while we died at scoop Street. When I took a moment to take a step back and look at our little family, we also were there in our lil three generational group: me, my kiddo & my Mom. The prices here are more than reasonable. The ice cream that is used for their desserts is from thrifty. The waffle cones are made in house and smell amazing. There really wasn't anything more than I could've asked of this visit to the ice cream shop. This was so special. Servers: Art & Austin

    Scoop Street is a family-owned dessert shop known for its fair-style treats and nostalgic vibe…read more Located near the Regal theater, it has become a local staple for late night desserts since its opening about six years ago. It's considered a "sister store" to Bun Street, which is located right next door. The interior features a clean, old-school shop design with cozy seating and motivational quotes. Friendly young staff but service was slow and inattentive. They primarily serve Thrifty Ice Cream, a classic Southern California brand. The shop's main draw is the funnel cake. The Churro-Chata, topped with horchata ice cream and mini churros is our favorite. Portions are big and shareable. Also, they bake cookies and brownies in-house daily using family recipes to use in their custom ice cream sandwiches and sundaes. Plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall.

She remembered us the second time we came and asked if my daughter if she was doing better because the first time we were there she had morning sickness so she couldn't enjoy her food. I love finding hidden GEMS, especially Mexican restaurants, with real Mexican food!! What can I say ?! We love it ! Five times here. No regrets. Always good. Food is delicious! Service is AWESOME! Always so friendly, warm, & helpful since the first time we found them. . :D Can't believe it took me so long to find this hidden gem living nearby and around here all the time. How did I find it ?? Well, how do I, and we all, find all my / our favorite restaurants? I Yelped of course !!! :D I was in the area looking for a good place to eat. I yelped Mexican food and TA DA ! I would have never found it, since it's sort of hidden in an area less traveled, in the shopping center across from the West Covina Mall, behind sushiholics & The Bundt place. Same center where Panera is & Sushiholics, except it's on the back side street, on California Ave. I would have never walked over there, on the backside of the shopping center. Just happy to have found it now! Besides GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD ! We are suckers for birria. So 1st time here we had birria chilaquiles with over medium eggs plate, quesabirria, and ramen birria hehe ! YUMMM Yes, it was good, a little spicy for me, but good. I always have to clarify how I want my eggs at restaurants because believe it or not some cooks don't understand that over medium means soft yolks. They sometimes bring me over hard and that's not what I ordered. Over medium eggs have to be just right! No runny whites and no hard yolk. I explained that to Eduardo when ordering because I didn't want hard or soft; runny & gooey whites ewww. So I'm always very specific. Eduardo said no problem, if we don't get them right we can remake them for you. :D Woohooo ! They were perfect! Not many places get it right the first time, so they always remake them, but not here ! PERFECTION !! Thank you Eduardo!! I was happy ! Can't forget about the coffee!!! Oooh coffee! We love coffee so when the owner told us iced coffee ! Whoa ! Our eyes lit up ! YESSSSS please! It was good as well and when she saw we had finished it, she offered us a free refill. Thank you my new friend! You're the best !!! You made our day !!! We were like we're coming back !!! 2nd time, I had bulgogi breakfast bowl with over medium eggs ! I love eggs with beef ! Who doesn't ?! lol Eggs were perfect ! Beef was perfect too ! My grandson ate all my bulgogi though lol! I guess he liked it too. 3rd time on Friday 7/25/25 Eduardo always very cheerful & welcoming :) I ordered the chicken salad lunch, daughter ordered the green pozole! She's a sucker for green pozole hehe. I loved my salad! It was perfect! The chicken was perfect, pulled pieces with a green dressing that was whoa soooo YUMMMM ! This is making me hungry now. Daughter said pozole was good too Of course we will be back !! Need to try to yellow curry ! Next couple times had to order some previously had dishes like Birria ramen, tacos, pozole and chicken salad. Eduardo also accommodated my grandson, as he loves chicken but we get him grilled chicken. So he made a kids version of the chicken salad and it was just perfect and delicious too.

    Mother's Day Dining Experience ​To the Management Team,…read more​I am writing to share my recent experience at your establishment this past Mother's Day. As a long-time fan of your restaurant, this was one of my favorite places to dine; however, my experience during this visit was deeply disappointing due to a lack of communication and poor service standards. ​My primary concerns are as follows: ​Limited Menu Communication: Upon arriving, I was disappointed to find a restricted holiday menu that did not include the dishes I had specifically come for. While I understand the need for a limited menu on busy holidays, this should have been communicated to guests waiting outside. Waiting an hour to be seated only to realize the items I craved were unavailable was a significant letdown. ​Inattentive Service: Despite the restaurant not appearing to be at full capacity, the service was lacking. My father's meal arrived significantly later than the rest of the table's, and basic needs--such as coffee refills for my mother and water for the table--were never addressed. No one checked in to see if we were satisfied with our meal at any point. ​Gratuity Policy: Regarding the 18% gratuity for parties of six or more, I completely respect the policy in principle. However, when the service does not meet basic expectations, being told I must pay a specific dollar amount--in this case, $40--feels intrusive. I am someone who genuinely enjoys leaving generous tips in cash to reward good service; being forced to pay a set amount for a subpar experience felt less like a gratuity and more like an unjustified surcharge. ​I believe your establishment is capable of much better. I hope you take this feedback into account to ensure future holiday guests receive the transparency and quality of service that originally made me a loyal customer.
