Had a wonderful experience here. We ordered on the kiosk and they have a large selection to choose from! We choose fruit teas, pork belly rice ball, shrimp tempura rice ball and the takoyaki. It was all very good. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. There’s plenty of indoor seating along with outdoor seating! We came around 3:30pm and it wasn’t busy. 10/10 recommend!!! -
Service is VERY slow, but everything is made to order. They need to work on getting the food out faster, 30 min for 2 onigiri is crazy and no one was in front of us.. it should not take that long.
This shop reminds me of japan, because this is the only place you can buy onigiri in the area as far as i know.
I ordered the matcha milk tea with oat milk, half sweetness, with lychee pop & a chicken onigiri. Everything came out delicious.
You can order ahead on Snackpass, use the kiosk in the store, or at the register. -
Ordered a fruit tea (the hulk), with less sugar. Honestly, it didn’t really taste like anything, or rather it tastes more like water with some mixed in flavor powder, rather than like tea. At least the tapioca itself was decent. Otherwise the place is super clean and the staff members were very friendly. Maybe it was just a bad luck, Perhaps will stop by again to try a different drink. They also sell some Asian snacks and merchandise in-store.

My favorite place to get riceballs, but sadly this has happened twice in which they forget to put chicken for the YAYA chicken, I let the first time slide but it’s happened yet again. Check your orders before leaving the place!

I came to visit my family in Durham from Minnesota. I’ve always seen boba tea online, but my small town doesn’t have any of the trendy things. I was recommended Yaya Tea from a family friend, and I chose the location in Durham because of the proximity. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the staff, and they were extremely nice to me. They described the different tea flavors to me, and I ended up choosing the Taro milk tea (totally recommend), and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I added in some boba and it was so sweet and chewy, and it totally didn’t disappoint. I’ve never seen rice balls in person, and I was STOKED to try some. I ended up choosing the shrimp with crab rice ball and the spicy tuna rice ball. They were so filling and not too spicy for my poor tastebuds. I ended up visiting this location 5 more times before heading back to Minnesota. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone trying to get a delicious meal on the go. I even want to take a trip to Durham just to try their food again. LOL. Will be back one day!
