Yummi Tea Cafe

Came for a quick snack while in the area and glad we tried it!Highlights: The oyster mushrooms and yam fries were absolute hits! Good quantity and great with the sweet chili sauce. Service is also great.Notes: their popcorn chicken was good and different in that they used more of a tempura batter than the traditional tapioca batter. My friend thought it could use a bit more Thai basil flavoring as well.

I met up with some friends for dinner, which was nice to visit again.We split some appetizers like the Japanese Yam fries, oyster mushrooms, and popcorn chicken. Each was different and good in their own way.I got the Curry Milk with Beef. It was filled with a good portion of beef, vegetables, 1 prawn, and other goodies.I also got a blue butterfly green Milk tea. Which was pretty.Unfortunately, there was a big party who ordered before us, so our food took awhile to come out. The service was friendly and nice. Unfortunately, the kitchen couldn't keep up with the number people in the restaurant.

Personalized hot pots, milk tea, and popcorn chicken! Sign me up! Came a lil after 3PM, for a really late lunch, early early dinner and was sad we came in too late, so we got the dinner price. Lunch price is 11am-3PM FYI. So look out for the time you go since the price changes. Here's what we ordered:They have a combo deal so fi you order one of A + B + C you get $2 off. So that's what we did! A was a hot pot ($18.99 per pot) B was a drink ($4-7) C is a Fried Snack ($5-7) Hot pots we ordered:Original Mongolian (4/5) Curry Flavor (4/5)Miso Flavor (4/5) Each hot pot was filled to top with toppings, meat, veggies, etc. Drinks we ordered:Lychee Oolong $6.25 - not too sweet, nice tea flavor with tons of lychee England Milk Tea $6.25 - milky tea flavor with egg pudding (pudding no too sweet too) Fried snacks:Popcorn chicken (5/5) $8, this was on point. The flour coating they use is super light and crunchy and not too thick like some other places. Order this for sure.They also have a tiny condiment bar area, with about 3-4 sauces so take advantage of that. Overall it was very tasty, and with the combo -$2 off your meal is worth it! I'd come back to try the other dishes!

This restaurant was introduced by my sister. We came here for a late lunch on a Friday and it was not that busy. I ordered popcorn chicken, spicy Mongolian w/ mahlah beef with ramen and a yummi earl grey milk tea. The popcorn chicken tasted crispy and fresh. It was good but needed more flavor and salt. The milk tea was surprisingly good. There is a sauce station where you can make your own sauce. The sauce options are very limited. There were two kinds of soy sauce, sriracha, sweet and sour sauce, green onions, and spiced powder. Wish there were more. The hot pot was okay. There were more veggies and barely any meat.

The aazing folks at Yummi Hotpot & Tea Cafe have kept the services and the food amazing as usual. I felt its time to update my review as its been a long time since I last reviewed them.Its a sweet little family run operation, we visit them once every 5-6 weeks and they've been consistent with the service, the food, the quality and the ambiance.Food: We've tried all the hotpot bases and the best one by far is the Curry and the 2nd best has been Spicy Mongolian. We always go for the ABC combo as they call it - A is the Hotpot, B is the drink & C is the snack item. Getting the Combo gets you a nice discount which is like cherry on the hotpot ;)Ok, I'll get to the drinks and the snacks. We've tried many options and the best tea to pair with Curry is No. 17 which is the England Tea that comes with their Yummi (pun intended!) edd pudding.Snacks is something that we add an extra item ever since our baby became a toddler and started attacking our food! We go with the Popcorn chicken & the Taiwanese Chicken Steak.Lunch times are prefered by us during the weekend as the rush is low and we don't have to wait. All in all, these guys are awesome and they are very accomodating. We love visiting them every few weeks.

Overall just average and on the pricier side. I felt the soup was less flavorful and there was less in a serving than at comparable places like tasty pop/boiling point/home eat. Clams were sandy as well. I definitely left a little hungry and not satisfied.

3.9 stars!Ive always wanted to try this place. Theyve been established for a couple of years now. Came here on a Wednesday lunch. First thing I noticed was that almost all the tables were filled with hotpots that have been eaten on. Maybe they were short staffed as no one was cleaning up the tables. Besides that, we were greeted well, and served fast. Ordered their fried mushrooms and it was good, but you have to eat it fast! It was no longer crunchy after 5 minutes. Hotpot were good and had ample amount of meats. Their tea selections are quite limited but the quality was good.

Hot pot, popcorn chicken, and boba all in one place. It's the perfect combination. And there's a discount for ordering all of them at once!The kids really loved the popcorn chicken and the mango smoothie. The popcorn chicken was covered in a light batter with no seasoning, like tempura. They enjoyed the miso soup hot pot, too.The Mongolian soup was also very tasty. Both hot pots came with some seafood as part of the base, including a large prawn.Our server was amazing. She was understanding about my concerns with the picky kids and was very attentive throughout our meal.

They have the best popcorn chicken in the Bay Area seriously. The batter is perfection. I've been coming here for years at least once a week for the popcorn chicken. Tried popcorn chicken from multiple different places and always come back here. It's the best!!

We've been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. Yay area - folks need to come here as frequent as possible. Every time we drive remotely in this direction we stop to get some great snacks and great drinks!!!
