Often praised
- yogurtI tried the fresh fruit yogurt drinks and they were sooo good. The watermelon yogurt drink I had was creamy and sweet, with ripe watermelon, and thankfully, the yogurt wasn't too tart. While it's a bit on the expensive side for a beverage, the quality definitely shines through.
- purple riceIt's one of my favorite places in Seattle, and all of their yogurt drinks are amazing. I've tried many flavors, including my personal favorites like watermelon, purple rice, haw, and avocado, and I've never had a bad one. The drinks are wonderfully sweet, tart, creamy, and tasty – they always hit the spot!
- foodI wish I could have it every day. It's a good thing I don't live too close by, otherwise, I might be tempted to indulge daily! The food is rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere is a solid 4 out of 4.
- purple rice yogurtYou have to try the purple rice yogurt—it’s absolutely delicious
- sweetnessstrawberry yogurt with 50% sweetness
- mango yogurtI ordered a cup of strawberry and a cup of mango. It really tasted like a fairy! I was surprised by this.

Frequently criticized
- purple riceThe purple rice has a weird aftertaste
- boba teatold there was no boba for the tea
- brown sugar milkThe brown sugar milk was very reasonably priced but the pearl texture was a tad hard and the sugar had a distinct burnt taste.
- burgerDon’t get the burger or fries, not good
- burnt riceTasted like burnt rice in weird milky water
- drinkshe put ice into the blender, then pour the liquid into the cup
- flavorsMy experience at this restaurant was centered around trying a unique drink late in the evening. The drink itself was a curious mix; the simplicity of its flavors was simultaneously underwhelming and highly puzzling. I did find a practical use for the leftover rice at the bottom of the cup – it's perfect for feeding the ducks.
- foodMy experience at this restaurant was hands down the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. We placed a pickup order for five people 20 minutes in advance, only to arrive and find that the owner had blatantly handed our food to someone else. There was no apology or explanation, just pure indifference.
- friesDon’t get the burger or fries, not good
- mangoThe mango is meh, a little bit sour imo
If youre looking for a refreshing and customizable yogurt experience with a wide array of flavors, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful of potential sweetness levels and specific textures, but overall, its a solid bet for a tasty treat.

Surprisingly Delicious Yogurt in Bellevue!
Today, I happened to pass by this yogurt shop and decided to stop and walk in. I ordered a cup of strawberry and a cup of mango. It really tasted like a fairy!
I was surprised by this. There is still such a delicious yogurt in Bellevue. I will come again in the future!

Disappointing Experience with a Simple Request
My experience at the Bellevue store was disappointing. As a returning customer, I specifically requested no ice in my drink, a request I always make. The server, who has been there for a long time, seemed unhappy about it but I trusted her professionalism.
After waiting nearly 20 minutes, I witnessed her put ice into the blender. She then poured the liquid into my cup and handed it to me. I was shocked and pointed out, "I said no ice.
" She feigned innocence, claiming, "I didn’t put any. " I initially gave her the benefit of the doubt, but after the first sip, I tasted the ice. Her dishonesty was clear.
A simple request should not be difficult to honor, especially for a loyal customer. This experience makes me doubt her care for customers and has led me to reconsider suggesting the restaurant for company catering.

Yummy Durian Yogurt, But Hot Inside
My experience at the restaurant involved trying the durian yogurt with 50% sweetness. It came out smooth and yummy. However, the atmosphere inside was really hot, which led me to wait outside.
