    I used to frequent the Chinatown Young Tea often. Specifically for the Taro Smoothie. After they closed that store that was open for years, I heard they moved to Bellevue but never looked it up. Not sure why the Yelp algorithm didn't fyi me?!? Anyways, today I was going to get my regular pineapple yogurt smoothie at Panda Yogurt but for some reason they were closed, booooo. So I opened Yelp and searched smoothie and bam! Young Tea showed up. I was stoked to finally try! And the interior photos made it a no brainer short trip to see it! Super helpful and friendly girl at the front started it off, got the Taro Smoothie and popcorn chicken she recommended. Taro Smoothie tasted exactly as it did before, WIN. Popcorn Chicken not bad. Interior is gorgeous, clean, bright, contemporary. Easy choice to come back again soon.

    First time trying this new location and thought it was just ok. The place is big and nice and there's a lot of seatings. Service was standard, the cashier was pretty knowledgeable and the owner helped bring out the order. I got: Winter melon juice + grass jelly topping --- juice was good and refreshing. The grass jelly was good but I was hoping that the grass jelly was cut up to small pieces so it would be easier to suck up like boba, but it was in really big chunks so you can easily just finish the drink and all the grass jelly is still there. Stir fried noodles -- this was a limited edition item so I thought I would try but I thought it was just ok. Small portion for the price. It would have been a good price if there was more meat, it was mostly noodles. Overall, it was just ok for me.

    I can't believe it took me this long to finally visit the new-ish Bellevue location. I may or may not have driven to Wallingford a week prior lol. The interior of this shop is much larger, very cozy and well-decorated. My first experience with the drink here is only 4 out of 5 stars though. I ordered my new favorite, Iron Buddha Plus with 80% sweetness and less ice, and added boba. The drink tasted a bit more diluted than what I remembered from Wallingford, and I noticed the boba is different - bigger and more sweetened (which I prefer), though the texture isn't the best. I read some reviews mentioning there are special drinks only available at this location, but I didn't notice the specific ones. There are food items, such as popcorn chicken and Taiwanese Noodle Soup, that are not available at the Wallingford location.

    Still love this place! Staff is nice and the Taiwanese noodle soup add squid always hits (my favorite thing to order here actually). This time when I ordered the Hojicha milk tea add boba, the boba was perfect texture and so delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and calm here which I enjoy. Only cons here used to be inconsistent boba texture but sadly now the major con is the oat milk $1.75 up charge which is priceyyyy! I was in shock and had to ask for clarification since the in store menu above the register makes no mention of it and states it's ".75cents" however online ordering and staff states it's $1.75 up charge which sucks. I guess if I get a milk tea next time I will stick to the regular milk, but for those with dairy sensitivity, intolerance, etc this is a major pain and a pricey choice being honest. I still enjoy this place however it has become a pricier choice sadly. Definitely recommend the Taiwanese noodle soup add squid (what I literally come back for and crave it's so good) and the Hojicha milk tea :)

    My favorite Boba spot in Bellevue. They brew real teas here and I love the interior decor. I usually go for the Fruit Teas like Wintermelon and Mango Peach and Strawberry, but their Milk Teas are really good as well. They also have some food options like Popcorn Chicken and they had Taiwanese Cold Noodles in the summer. This place is like a little oasis in Bellevue. I love getting a drink here and there's a reason why I love frequenting it.

    Curry, braised pork, popcorn chicken

    Young Tea Bellevue is my favorite boba shop by far. With a variety of Taiwanese snacks to accompany your milk tea, it's the perfect spot for when you need a pick-me-up. I recommend the curry in particular - it's so flavorful and cozy, just like a home-cooked meal. The popcorn chicken is to die for, as is the Iron Buddha Plus and the Taro smoothie. The shop itself is well designed and comfortable, with nice seating available even when busy (which it often is). A really nice place to enjoy an afternoon.

    Young Tea used to be one of my favorite bubble tea places to visit in International District when I was in college. Thus, my college roommate and I were super excited when they opened up a new location in Bellevue and made arrangements to meet up there! The Bellevue Young Tea is located in a strip mall off of Northup Way. They have a shared parking lot with a salon and hot pot place. The interior is very modern and clean with an ample amount of seating. Unlike the original Young Tea, this location also serves Taiwanese street food like duck wings, oden soup, popcorn chicken, and braised pork rice. They also have more drink choices than I remember including Genmaicha, Hojicha, and Iron Buddha Plus (which is oolong plus winter melon juice). I ordered their signature IRON MILK TEA (50% sugar, no ice) ($6.95) with BOBA (+$0.75). With tax and tip, my total came out to $9.76 which is quite pricey for a drink (-1 star), but not unheard of as Molly Tea charges around the same price for a smaller drink size. For those who are not familiar, Iron Buddha is a mellow oolong tea and is a unique tea that I have only ever seen served at Young's Tea and is what my friends in college would always go for. As someone who normally doesn't like oolong tea (because I usually find that it tastes like dirt), the Iron Buddha was the perfect balance of earthiness and sweetness. The tea concentration was also super strong and I could feel the caffeine hit right after my first sip. Even without ice, my drink was nice and cold which I appreciated. My companion got the GENMAICHA LATTE ($7.25) (30% sweetness, light ice) with BOBA (+$0.75) and was highly pleased with her choice. She said that it might be the best boba she's had in the U.S. and would definitely get it again in the future. However, she did remark that the texture was slightly gritty (possibly from ground up tea leaves?) but the taste was on point. Note that for this drink, you can only get full ice or light ice. Service was decent and we got our drinks within 5-10 minutes after ordering. One unique feature about this Young Tea is that they offered tasting events for $35 per person that you can register for ahead of time. They also sell their own loose leaf tea and teapots and cups on the side. Overall: 4/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

    I first discovered Young Tea when they first opened in Chinatown, international district. It was THE boba place all my friends would go to, since their boba, you can really taste the tea and the ratio was always spot on. Though parking sometimes can be inconvenient sometimes in Chinatown, still worth it. Whenever I'm in the area in Bellevue now, I make sure to come to get some boba here. I've been here a couple of times now. I like the ambiance in here, definitely an upgrade from the Chinatown location. Ample amount of parking. Service is friendly. Drinks come out at a reasonable time. My only complaint is the toppings such as the boba isnt as chewy as I'd like it to be / it doesn't have the boba taste it always has. I always order the rooibos milk tea (it has zero caffeine!!) and its always good. But when I order it with boba sometimes I wish I hadn't. Grass jelly is the better option. And I decided to order the rose green milk tea the most recent time and I think I should've stuck with 100% sweetness as the rose flavor could've been Okiee distinct. Other than that, I'd recommend Young Tea!

    I had their signature milk tea here and I thought it was decent but not the best. The tea flavour shines through, but the milk tastes watery. They have lots of sugar levels to choose from and they run less sweet, great for those who don't like super sugary drinks. The store has lots of seating and it's really pretty inside. Lots of parking available outside too.

    It's been a while since I've been to Young Tea when they used to have a location in Chinatown. I have finally got to try their new location in Bellevue. The inside looks very nice and modernized. Filled with beautiful tea decors and ample amount of seatings. I got their roasted oolong milk tea with 50% sugar while my partner got the high mountain oolong tea. The drinks were always consistent and not too overly sweet. I noticed they now offer Taiwanese street food for purchase. Overall, our drinks were ready within 5 minutes. The ambiance was cozy, a perfect place to drink tea and relax on an afternoon. I will be back again since it's one of my favorite boba places. There's so many boba places popping up in Bellevue but if you want a true authentic taste of tea, this is the place to be.

    Super good and authentic Taiwanese tea shop with some Taiwanese bento. The food are all super authentic as I've been to Taiwan several times. Their braised pork rice (卤肉饭) is crazy rich & savory. Even their popcorn chicken is crispy and tasty. Portion may look small but this is standard in Asia so felt just right for me. We ordered black sugar boba, lava boba and wintermelon juice. The only small drawback is for these 3 the minimum amount sugar level we can customize is 80% (was hoping for 50%) :) Lava boba was quite unique too.

The staff here are beyond friendly and honestly always make my morning. I love that they do a punch card after your 10th drink punch you get $6 off your order. They also do raffles sometimes, which I think is such a fun touch. Another thing I like is that they always have themed or specialty drinks. I haven't tried them yet, but I think it's fun that they get creative, especially around the holidays or different seasons. I also really recommend their breakfast burritos. The vegetarian burrito and the sausage burrito are both so good, definitely ask for hot sauce because it makes them even better. The only downside is that the line can get pretty long sometimes. I've definitely waited around 15 minutes before, so it's best if you have a little extra time. That said, once you place your order they make the drinks and heat up the food pretty quickly, which helps move things along. Overall, if you have a few extra minutes to spare, I totally recommend stopping by. It's conveniently located, the drinks are great, and the friendly service makes it worth the wait.

We were surprised at how well they packed the steak and brisket pho. The noodles and pre-cooked meat were in a bowl and the veggies were on a tray that laid on top of the bowl to keep it separate. All you had to do was pour the hot broth into the bowl and add the accompaniments. Very nice! I felt that the amount of meat was very generous and I favored the brisket over the steak (maybe because it's more fatty). I liked the portion of noodles that I was given. It might not be as much as other shops, but I don't like too much noodles. The broth was pretty mediocre. The flavor lacked a certain je nais se qois. The pork banh mi was also just OK. The meat was a little dry and chewy. And the pickled vegetables didn't seem that pickles. Maybe they were quickled? The star of the show here was the bread itself. The interior was soft and the outside had a light crispness that was delightful and I didn't feel like my mouth would get cut. The shop itself is pretty cute since they basically inherited it from the previous restaurant. And there is plenty of parking in the Crossroads Plaza. I think they opened last October so they still seem fairly new to me and have potential to be better.

    85 DEGREE BAKERY @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking at this location can be a bit tricky. This 85°C Bakery is located in a large plaza that's always busy, especially since it's surrounded by popular food spots and restaurants. Because of that, the area can get pretty packed, but I was still really excited to stop by this location. As soon as you walk in, the space feels very open and spacious. I loved how big it was and how many tables they had available. Most 85°C Bakery locations feel more like a grab-and-go spot, so I appreciated that this one had plenty of seating and room to hang out. They also have touchscreen kiosks where you can order drinks and other items without needing help from a staff member. We walked around and looked at all the bakery items, and I'm always a fan of their almond croissants and protein breads. The chicken Hawaiian bun is one of my favorites, and their sausage bun is also delicious it's clearly a popular item. I also ordered their sea salt coffee. If you download the 85°C Bakery app and it's your first time using it, you get a free sea salt coffee, which was a nice bonus. While the food and drinks were great, the service was unfortunately lacking. One customer was confused about her order, and a staff member rolled her eyes at her. The same staff member also rolled her eyes at me and my family while we were in line. Overall, the staff didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. There wasn't much smiling or engagement, and it felt like everyone was annoyed rather than excited to help. We also noticed staff packaging food with boxes out in the open during our visit. I personally think this is something that should be done in the back or at least behind the register, rather than directly in front of customers. Overall, the experience was decent mainly because the bakery items and drinks were fresh and delicious. However, the staff could definitely be friendlier, as customer service plays a big role in the overall experience.
