    B11. Popcorn Chicken
    Richard P.

    Upon walking in to the store, you feel transported back to Taiwan a bit. Feels very cozy and the mom and dad working there and most likely the owners are super friendly. There is a good amount of table seating if you choose to dine in and it's order at the counter style. Lots of drink options from milk teas to fruit teas to slushes. We've been a few times now and always get the popcorn chicken, absolute juicy and big chicken pieces. I love the portion sizes. The braised pork rice is also the perfect amount of umami and very tender with just the right amount of fattiness. Soup dumplings were good too but takes about 15 mins to get ready. The drinks are worth the price and the boba is nice a chewy.

    B8. Beef Roll
    Regina W.

    Yes yes yes for me for Yes Cafe! This is considered one of my comfort food place. A cute little mom and pop vibe with tasty traditional Taiwanese food. My go to here is usually the popcorn chicken and Taiwanese pork combo and the papaya milk smoothie. I love the sauce that goes with the rice and also the brown tea egg, cabbage, tofu, and yellow pickled daikon. It makes a complete meal for me. The popcorn chicken is always a fun and flavorful snack to have. The beef roll is another classic that's delicious too. Recently they had a really good boneless pork chop. Tastes like the popcorn chicken. You can order most anything and it'll come out pretty fast. The staff are all so nice and work efficiently.

    Small hole-in-the-wall spot. First of all, the boba tea is cheap (about $4), but it's made with powdered milk tea, and the boba was overcooked, sticky and soggy. The beef noodle soup had great flavor, but the noodles were a bit too soft and soggy, and it only came with four slices of beef. The pork chop combo was decent. The pork chop itself was good, though slightly powdery and had a big bone in it. The pickled cucumber was tasty, but the simmered egg and tofu were bland and flavorless. Our favorite item was probably the beef roll. The sauce was delicious, but the portion was small and had very little beef inside. There's no real table service, you order at the counter, find your own seat, and they bring the food out to you. They'll clear the table afterward. There's a self-serve water station and to-go boxes available on the side, so you help yourself when you're ready.

    Small place located in a plaza! Staff is friendly. The best Taiwanese popcorn chicken I've ever tried! I ordered a snack size and it ended up being way too much food for me on top of the ground pork soup. All super yummy! Next time I will instead get the chicken with rice meal. I'm sure that will be filling enough. It was my first time and so I wanted to try as much as possible. I will also have to try one of the drinks! So many flavor options.

    Special Pork Chop Rice Combo

    I come here exclusively for their fantastic pork chop rice combo! The pork is always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sides--steamed cabbage, pickled radish, and a perfectly seasoned egg--really complement the pork. You can even add an extra egg for about $1.50. The place has a homey vibe, with a TV playing a Taiwanese news channel. There's always a steady stream of Taiwanese customers.

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Tracy P.

    Nice variety of Taiwanese food. You order and then they bring the food out to you. Service was slow and they forgot about our orders, but they gave us fried squid balls while we wait for our items to come out. My favorite was the beef roll! It wasn't oily like other beef rolls I had before. Spicy beef tendon came in a togo container. After you order, they grab it from the fridge. Soup Dumplings were juicy, but the skin was thicker than I would like. Beef Noodle Soup broth was good. Popcorn chicken had a lot of breading. Many tables to choose from. Overall this place was okay.

    Had high hopes but was felt somewhat average imo The order: Popcorn chicken Fried squid ball Beef noodle soup XLB Beef roll Spicy beef tendon The good: The manager/owner came out with a double portion popcorn chicken due to a missing order They also came out with squid balls to apologize for a slow order I like that it's cafe styled eating The bad: Spicy Tendon came in a to go box, which made it look cheap. Soup dumpling was "so-so", good flavor, but not juicy enough. They completely forgot about half of our order and we had to awkwardly ask where the food was at.

    Fried pork chop meal

    Had never been here, but my son picked this place for his birthday dinner. You order at the counter and then your food is brought to your table. The food is made to order. They have many options to choose from. I ordered the pork chops combo which I really enjoyed. My son ordered popcorn chicken as an appetizer and the beef noodle soup as his entree. I had a taste of the popcorn chicken and was really good. Also the honeydew milk tea is really good. The lady at the cash register was pleasant and friendly. I would definitely go back to try other options.

    Special Pork Chop Rice Combo
    Lucy L.

    I love coming to yes cafe when I'm craving Taiwanese food. They have a large drink selection and I always opt for the avocado snow. They had a special pork chop combo which meant that there's no bone, so of course I had to try it. It was a huge portion and delicious. The owner is always friendly and had a basket of free oranges that smelled sweet.

    Soup Dumplings

    Yes Cafe is a cozy, family-owned Taiwanese restaurant. You go up to the register to order and service yourself for utensils, napkins, etc. in the area to the left of the register. The owners and chefs are all really friendly too :) Their Taiwanese popcorn chicken is a must order. Both the meat and batter are incredibly flavorful and go super well with rice. It remains consistently good. For appetizers, my partner and I really enjoy to the Taiwanese sausage. Taiwanese sausage is a bit sweeter compared to other sausage styles, but it balances well with the savoriness of other dishes you may order. As I'm picky with my soup dumplings, I would say that they're a skip. They taste really similar to some store bought ones I've had. Their beef noodle soup used to be really good! The broth was so rich and flavorful and the meat was really tender. The attached photo in my review was their golden era for their beef noodle soup. You can see how deep and rich the soup was. However, the last time we ordered it, the broth was noticeably thinner, less flavored, and had very sad cuts of beef that were tough. So many restaurants end up like this with declining quality :( For drinks, there are a lot of fun options like the papaya drink that aren't typical at other boba shops. I wouldn't say it's the best boba, but it hits the spot when paired with Taiwanese food. I love to support local small business, so I would still recommend Yes Cafe for their Taiwanese popcorn chicken alone. If you're looking to branch out and try other Taiwanese dishes, the menu offers a good amount of authentic variety!

    The food is so good and the owner is also very friendly. We visited Phoenix for few days and will definitely come back in the future!

    Looking for Taiwanese food in the Chandler area? This would be it. My fave is their beef roll! They have the beef noodle soup, popcorn chicken, braised pork rice dish and a ton of other dishes, appetizers, and a large variety of boba teas. Their plates are shaped like Taiwan. They have cute art made by the family members who own the restaurant. I have a few of their art from many years ago. Service is quick. If you order to go they will ask when you want it. I think 10-15 minutes is decent time for them to make the food. This place has become a staple in the recent past weeks. Yummy!

    Great little place tucked away in a shopping plaza. Popcorn chicken is not too salty and the beef noodle soup is a good size portion.

However, the experience has really shifted, and not in a good way. The customer service has become noticeably cold from the staff to the owner. There's little to no friendliness, no eye contact, and it often feels like customers are more of an inconvenience than appreciated. As someone who has supported this business for years and consistently spoken highly of it, that's been disappointing. I still believe the quality of the products is great, but the overall experience matters just as much. Unfortunately, the lack of warmth and basic customer connection has taken away what made this place special for me, and I won't be returning. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because this place truly has so much potential to be both excellent in quality and welcoming in atmosphere.

I'm not use to this. I go to a different location where everyone is kinda over the top and friendly and one by one of my work locations that has the same kind of staffing. To come here (last time for sure) was kind of a shock to be honest. ZERO personality! So then I placed my order and in a couple of the drinks the request was for carb powder but this location didn't have any!!! It's on the menu so I'm guessing they were just out. GREAT ORDERING JOB!

How does a business that specializes in drinks NOT have DRINK CARRIERS?!?!?! For my drink I ordered strawberry/vanilla but it's like ALL the vanilla was at the bottom and the strawberry was at the top! I had to remix it. Also, I had to strap a couple drinks in with my seatbelt to keep them from falling over. Anyway, I don't have a choice but to give only 1 star JUST BASED on the employee alone! I won't be back to this location. I have to update this review because I'm trying to drink my drink and it's like all vanilla and it's super strong.

I was actually there to get a pre workout powder from business next door, Peak Nutrition. And I happened to see on the map there was a juice shop. All in all, great juice. I had the evergreen with beets added. The ladies working at the counter were friendly. Price is on the "higher" end because it's healthy food, which usually comes at a premium. I'm not saying it's expensive. My juice was $8 for the smallest size. Thats same as a latte from a coffee shop or a boba tea. But I'm just saying it's not fast, cheap food. Not sure if they use organic produce. I didn't ask. I would come here again to try a smoothie or other juices. With all the foodz and booze I consumed, I also love healthy stuff. Great to detox my system. Cheers to your health!

I mean, did I top it generously with a lot of cheese? Yeah. Does the dressing-to-salad ratio make it seem more like a creamy vegetable soup instead? Also, yeah... BUT STILL! Here at Robeks, you can feel like treating yourself while also getting your serving of fruits and vegetables. So far I've tried the Hero's Garden Smoothie (fresh spinach, matcha green tea, pineapple, mango, banana, spirulina, flax seeds, and apple juice) + Trim Burner, Avocado & Egg Toast (avocado and a hard-boiled egg with plant-based bacon, olive oil, pink himalayan salt, and Pepper), and their Fig & Prosciutto Toast (fig spread, prosciutto, cream cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and cracked black pepper on a thick slice of sourdough toast). Items are about $10 each, so it's not the most cost efficient, but with them being around the corner from my gym, it's hard to resist. Seating is incredibly limited here, so take your goodies to go. I think there was a picnic bench inside and some outdoor seating. It's not a place you go to socialize, really. "I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book.

I could actually taste the coffee component without having to add a second shot of espresso. And for some reason, the frothiness of the dairy foam was perfect... rich and creamy! The place is clean and brand spanking new, service was great, and now rivals my default choice for coffee in the neighborhood.
