Yo Cafe

Fun and different little spot headed from Towson into Timonium! I was really in the mood for some popping boba! I ended up getting a lychee green tea iced and it had the actual lychee fruit as opposed to the boba! Very good! I would definitely return. The staff were super friendly! I also grabbed some shrimp and chicken lo mein which was so hot and fresh. Very yummy!

I've been to Yo Cafe three times now and every visit is a delight. It's a welcome addition to the area after the hot pot place closed at the end of the pandemic. Staff are excellent and very knowledgeable. The restaurant is small but comfortable. They put in a partition between the front door and the restaurant that successfully keeps out these awfully cold temperatures. The food is just excellent! The boba tea is delicious. They have a genmaicha milk tea, my favorite tea ever, that is delicious. I've had soups, noodles, chicken and their Chinese burgers, and nothing has disappointed. Portions are big enough that I go home with leftovers. My only con is that I wish their chicken dishes came with more broccoli or other vegetables as I really like a balance between the two when I have Chinese food.

My daughter and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and had no idea of the variety and options we faced once we walked inside. They have the basics for a boba tea and snack place, but also traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food that's surprising if you're not in the know. The food runs the gamut of Chinese American staples, but there's also Taiwanese traditional dishes, Japanese options and some Korean items. I think we'll have to go back a few times just to get a good sense of everything, oh darn!

What a great hole in the wall Chinese spot! The hand pulled noodles were some of the best I've ever had and the people who work there are so kind and attentive. I was blown away by the flavors and the service. The bubble tea had real lychee in it, no powders like other places. So fresh and not too sweet.

I came here Friday with a friend. The place was pretty chill and the food was decent. We ordered lamb noodle, Chinese lamb burger, and some fried pork tendon. The ladies at the counter were very nice and attentive. The food however was a bit salty. I also got some bubble tea. Over all I'd comeback again next time but definitely ask for less salt in my foods.

I ordered braised beef noodle soup for dine in, $12.95 a bowl it's a pretty good price, I didn't even finish the whole thing and I'm pretty full. I'll definitely comeback again to try other stuff.

This is a small shop in a cramped plaza. It's a bit difficult to get in or out of here from York Road. We went here for the drinks, mainly the fruit teas because they advertise using real fruit, unlike many places that just use flavored syrup. The price tag is hefty - with tax, my mango pomelo drink was over $7 bucks, but apart from sticker shock, it tasted very good. I even came back a week later to get it again but I probably won't be able to do that often due to the cost. We also enjoyed the Earl grey milk tea. You can customize the drinks such as the sugar and ice content. We have yet to try the food. The employees seemed nice although I didn't have to interact with them much since there's a handy self service kiosk where you can place orders and pay.

Best Chinese food in the area! We drove about an hour to try this place out and the taste of food didn't let us down! Boba is also highly recommended! Overall a A+ experience^^ with a clean and convenient dinning environment!

So happy I found this spot! They have been here for almost 2 years and I wish I had known about them sooner. My friend and I ordered the green beans, bok choy, Henan beef noodle soup, a Chinese beef hamburger and some milk teas. We could have lived off the green beans alone because they were AMAZING and the garlic bok choy was also very delicious! The beef noodle soup is a new favorite as the serving was large, beef super tender and the noodles are freshly made in house! Oh, and the milk teas are all fresh brewed tea combined with real milk - NO powder mixes! It was not busy at the time we went so the service was fast and the ladies running the restaurant are very sweet. This will be a new go-to for me for sure!

Best place ever. They served me food and their service was immaculate. The ambiance was amazing. Nice workers and their food was amazing. Would come again
