"The quality of the food has steadily declined since the restaurant first opened. This visit we both ordered the breakfast sandwich which looked good on the menu. It came with a choice of salad or fries. We both ordered fries. After a long wait, our order arrived. The sandwich was a fried egg and american cheese and bacon on a simple store bought english muffin. Very simple, very disappointing with the exception of the spicy sauce. It was served with a simple arugula salad (just leaves and a simple dressing) and a bowl of fries for us to share. The waiter later explained there was some confusion in the kitchen about our order which is why we received the salad and fries. We both were shocked at the simplicity of the sandwich and would not order it again. We also ordered drinks. My friend had the **** Mary, but found it too spicy and didn 't drink it. I ordered a cosmopolitan which was ok, but the waiter seemed confused by my order. It was something I had ordered before with a group of friends and we all liked them. Also when I got home, Open Table emailed me to confirm that I honored my reservation because the restaurant did not check us in. I noticed when we arrived, they couldn 't find our reservation. This is the second time I 've been very unhappy the the food and both times my guests were not happy with what was served. I also find the staff to be very disorganized on the weekends and it seems they are now only focused on drinks more than food. I won 't be going back. When the restaurant opened, the food was VERY good and I enjoyed everything about the place. Its a common problem in San Francisco with new restaurants. They start off with very good food and over time it deteriorates."

"My friend and I visited this tea shop because a nearby one was too crowded and we're so glad we stumbled upon this one! The teas we ordered were absolutely delicious. I'm a huge fan of the mango star jellies and I was so happy to see they offered these here! These drinks were fantastic with the hot weather. You can order through a kisok if ordering in person isn't your thing, but regardless, the staff are very kind and helpful! This shop will be on my list next time I visit Chinatown!"

"so good! I have been in waterbar, but only the late nightclub/bar situation, which is exactly what they would expect. I was a little nervous to make dinner, but everything was amazing. they sat at a high table on the window with a spectacular view of the water! the oysters were very fresh as the poke and laughs! our server was hayley and she was also fantastic. Thank you!"

"I had lunch this Friday afternoon. I ordered the Uncle Sam- a huge multi-meat hoagie. I could only eat 1/2 the sandwich; the other 1/2 was thoughtfully wrapped in advance to take back with me. The sandwich was great. The ambiance was inviting- the walls cluttered with humorous sayings. Special kudos to the friendly and witty young lady that took my order. This will be my go-to place for lunch when in Troy, NY."

"Yaya Tea Newark is one of the few boba shops near the NKIT/Rutgers Newark campus. The store is bright and colorful, offering a variety of drinks, teas, appetizers, rice balls, and noodle dishes. For my first visit, I tried the mango strawberry drink with tapioca pearls, which was refreshing and not too sweet. They also have many other fruit flavors to choose from. I ordered takoyaki and a chicken rice ball from the food menu. The takoyaki was decent but a bit over-fried for my taste, served in 7-8 pieces—perfect for sharing. I preferred the chicken rice ball; the rice was fresh and soft, and the chicken filling was flavorful. Overall, I had a positive first experience and am happy to have found this spot near my work. I look forward to coming back often for lunch and drinks."

"I had the worst customer service experience of my life at this restaurant. I went in to get a bubble tea and discovered three gnats floating in my drink. When I brought it to their attention, they told me there was nothing they could do. Additionally, the food didn't resemble the photos at all. There are plenty of better options on campus; I would recommend trying any other place before considering this one."

"I've been to a YaYa Tea a while back in Chinatown and it was pretty good. Recently, I've been craving fruity teas just so happens I was around 23rd street and learned there was a YaYaTea up here too! Such a convenient location near Baruch many other schools businesses. I ordered the boyfriend, which is lychee, mango, white tea, with mango jelly. It was so cute with the star shaped jellies the quotes around the cup. This boyfriend was more tasty than my husband ;P haha don't tell him) with the jellies at just the right texture. Will definitely come again!"

"Check out my blog post about Layover here: may be a tourist spot since it 's on top of a hotel but the real locals know How awesome layover is! Perfect spot to view the San Diego Harbor. Layover is a laid back rooftop bar and lounge on the fourth floor rooftop of InterContinental San Diego. They have an adjoining pool and cabana area! Must buy day pass for pool access. Lots of seating facing the water and a few fire pits when it gets chilly.DrinksLayover has craft slushy versions of classic drinks. They 're small but they 'll get ya! They have Paper Plane has Bulleit Bourbon, Apersol, Drapo Vermouth and Aviation has Aviation Gin, Violet Liqueur, Maraschino, Lemon. Also a variety of canned wines and craft beers (a few on draft too). They have a full bar that can pretty much create any type of drink you like. I ordered the Tequila Sunrise. It was one of those rare cocktails where there was clearly enough alcohol, but tasted just as great so pretty too! FoodThe Stone Oven Pizza and Blackened Local Halibut Fish Tacos are my favorites! The fish tacos are stuffed with fresh, blackened halibut and topped with avocado crema. I ordered half cheese or half pepperoni. SO GOOD! The tomato sauce is big slices of pepperoni had a slight kick so good, so cheesy! **** Mary Shrimp Cocktail was a bit different, not your typical shrimp cocktail. Baby shrimp, pickled jicama, cucumber, and celery tossed in a house made **** mary mix. Its on the smaller side but still really delicious. Open daily noon to sunset and complimentary parking is offered for up to 3 hours with validation.Plus the service is outstanding everybody from the manager to the waitress! They really make the experience that much better."

"Yaya Tea is always a reliable spot for affordable eats, great place for a quick bite in Chinatown!!Yaya Tea has multiple locations throughout the city. Yaya Tea on a corner of Grand Street is a bit smaller than other locations, especially in terms of seating. However, still perfect for grab-and-go if you're craving milk/fruit teas and onigiri! This location also offers self-service via Snackpass, which was super helpful in customizing our orders.My friends and I all ordered their signature Boyfriend drink (mango and lychee white tea) as well as their chicken riceball with spicy mayo. I ordered my drink with 50% sugar and with lychee jelly, and the drink turned out having a fairly strong tea flavor. It was less sweet than I expected, so I would probably increase it to 75% sugar next time. The lychee jelly was the perfect texture and had a satisfying snap. Their chicken riceball had a balanced ratio of rice to filling. The rice could have been seasoned more thoroughly--some of the rice was a bit mushy and lacked a crisp vinegary taste. I ordered the riceball in its small size, and it was still pretty filling! The spicy mayo, though definitely had a kick to it, was cold compared to the warm riceball, and I found this a bit off-putting. This order was still pretty cheap though, and service was relatively quick.Yaya Tea has been a nostalgic staple of mine for years and will continue to be. Though the food is not necessarily outstanding, it's still a pretty yummy bargain in Chinatown!"

"This is my first time trying Yaya, and I love it! I've already been there 3 times this week. I've always wanted to try onigiri (rice ball), so I'm glad they serve them and with all kinds of fillings! I would prefer if the cold teas they serve came with ice, but I guess they might accommodate if I asked. Right know, until the end of July, they're having a promotion where if you order a small tea, they'll upgrade it to a large for free! This is becoming my new favorite place."
