Amazing service. Something was up with the kiosk where I was able to add an ingredient they didn't have and they notified me about it. I've been to Jamba Juice where I've ordered blue berries and the shake doesn't come out blue and they claim it's in there. I really appreciate hospitality like this.

Had a craving for a sweet drink on my lunch break and stopped in to try Junbi. It is located in the Culver Plaza, which offers a lot of other shops and spaces to hang out. There are two digital ordering stations and you just pick up the drink once ready. The menu and ordering system was easy and fast. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha blended drink that was tasty. I ordered less sweet but still pretty sweet, so keep that in mind if you don't like super sweet drinks. The matcha was smooth and creamy, so it was a nice balance. Would stop by again to try their other menu offerings.

I came her with my sister because we heard they had really good matcha or was known for their matcha drinks. I got the taro vanilla latte and my sister got the strawberry matcha latte, both at 50% sweetness. The matcha was ok but it was way too sweet. I'm not sure if the workers didn't catch the 50% sweetness or if this was how 50% sweetness was supposed to be. I think the sweetness really took away from the matcha and taro flavor in my drink. My sister liked her drink even though she said hers was too sweet too. They have a kiosk you can order at so there wasn't a lot of interactions with them but they were friendly when the drinks came out. A lot of people were studying there so there weren't a lot of open seats. It seems like a really nice place to talk and catch up with friends since it's not too loud with the music or anything.I would give this place another chance on the drinks if I'm in the area but I wouldn't drive out of my way for it.

They have a wide variety of items on their menu. Lots of matcha drinks and they even sell the little salmon balls. Lots of cute trinkets to buy and comfy seating- though not the best for large groups. Drinks were good and we left satisfied.

So happy to see there is now a junbi in Irvine! I first tried junbi in Oahu and I've thought of it ever since. Junbi specializes in matcha drinks mixed with fresh juice. They also offer onigiri and a large variety of mixed soft serve. I've tried the POG(a Hawaii exclusive), the strawberry matcha and the orange creamsicle matcha latte. All the drinks I've tried here are extremely refreshing. The matcha is always the perfect shade of green. Drinks are served in a large cup and come out to around $7.50 after tax. The location is very spacious with plenty of standing room and parking. There are however, only about 4-5 tables to sit at. You can order at the front with a cashier or self checkout at one of the two monitors.

My friends and I visited Junbi around 3 PM on a Saturday and were able to find two tables without much trouble. We ordered at the kiosk, and my partner and I shared a cold Madagascar vanilla matcha latte with oat milk, along with an onigiri rice ball filled with snow crab.The drink was pretty good! The Madagascar vanilla flavor stood out, kinda to the point of overshadowing the matcha. We didn't mind, but if you're a matcha purist, you might prefer a simpler drink to better evaluate the quality of the matcha. There's also an option to add a ceremonial matcha shot, which might enhance the matcha flavor if that's your priority.The onigiri was freshly made and thoughtfully packaged with crispy seaweed on the side, ensuring it stays crisp if you decide to eat it later. It was warm and satisfying, especially in today's colder weather. However, the snow crab filling was a bit underwhelming, though understandable given its delicacy. My friend ordered the salmon onigiri felt the same and said he tasted more of furikake than the filling itself.Overall, Junbi didn't blow me away, but I'd definitely be open to trying more items from their menu in the future.

I've tried a lot of Junbi's on the west coast, so I decided to try the Irvine location since I was in the area. Location itself was good. Still don't prefer kiosk ordering since it takes awhile to navigate. I ordered:-cold matcha with boba $6.25, pricier side, wasn't as smooth as I would have preferred-salmon sushi $3.75, pricier side, but good snackThere is some seating inside. Overall, not a bad spot to stop by.Easy parking in the plaza.

Was on a mission to look for matcha drinks in OC. Ordered matcha guava and Matcha strawberry. I upgraded to the ceremonial matcha on both drinks! The guava matcha was 5/5 the combination was a good blend. You get hit with the fruity sweetness of the guava. The strawberry was alright. You order from the kiosks and can make various adjustments to the drinks which is a good thing. Service was quick and good. Overall, would come back to get other flavors when in the area!

Fast and friendly service, delicious soft serve. Got their vanilla soft serve with Hoijicha powder (here they call it "dusting"). Came here for the soft serve because a near by location's choice's machine was broken. Also tried their iced matcha latte with guava, not bad. Just wish alt. milk wasn't +$1.25.

I'm not a huge fan of matcha tea but I tried it with a friend who was. The inside had such a cute aesthetic and decorations (it was during the miffy collaboration). I came around 7 on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. We got our orders after about 5-10 minutes. I ordered a hot guava matcha latte since I felt like drinking something nice and warm. I didn't expect it to be so delicious! The guava wasn't too profound to overtake the flavor and gave just the right amount of sweetness to the drink. I would love to try other drinks but I typically stick with the same drinks so we'll see.
