OMOMO Tea Shoppe, Irvine CA

*FYI* This location is officially closed! Came here today just to find out they will not be renewing their lease. I guess that leaves just one Omomo in Irvine.

A restaurant where people wait in line to eat… 20 minutes to order a drink
It’s really delicious…

I had a mango tornado and an omomo matcha and so on. Total ordering time was approximately 30 minutes, and it tastes really good.

Tried the matcha one.it tasted good.but, for me, even 30% sugar is a bit too sweet.the Agar boba is chewy. Long wait in weekend, 5 mins wait during workday. Free wifi in this plaza.

Crowded place with very long wait times. Drinks are ok but staff are inflexible and not willing to customize your drink.

Got the matcha Tornado! Long line, no sitting area inside the store but there are plenty of benches and tables right outside. A must-go for milk tea! There’s two locations, one near Alton Parkway and the other on Culver Dr.

Top 3 Flavour:

Omomo Matcha
Camo Thai
Strawberry Tornado

Uniqueness:

Omomo Matcha: The depth and richness of the matcha flavor set it apart from other standard green tea varieties.

Camo Thai: The uniqueness of Camo Thai lies in its exotic and refreshing combination of flavors.

Strawberry Tornado: Its intense and sweet strawberry taste is accompanied by a delightful texture that elevates the overall drinking experience.

I usually love their teas and have never had a wrong order before. But today I ordered oolong milk tea with boba and in my rush with my toddler didn’t even check to make sure they got my order right but lo and behold getting home I shake the cup trying to see where the boba went. No boba. They don’t even pick up the phone so no way to fix the error now that I’m home. Just disappointed.

I come here quite often their tea is good here and so is their boba. They got their boba down right. Other shops do not know how to get the boba right. Their cream topping here is also quite good. Many other shops do not know how to get it right. They are busy so one expect to wait at times from 15-30 minutes before they get their drinks here. Recently drink quality has changed a bit depending on which employee made the drink. I can see how they have been struggling to find good help at that shop. Price is reasonable here for drinks.

New update, constant change of employees is showing in taste consistency. The drink quality these days is not quite as good as it used to be.

Latest update. Not sure why but a while back ago they decided to cut cost and use a very cheap Oat Milk brand instead of using quality Oatly or Minor Figures. They should replace the cheap quality oat milk they use with better quality Oat Milk. I get that a while back ago that there was a shortage of Oatly and Minor Figures Oat Milk but they are in stock now so not sure why they would use a bad tasting cheap quality Oat Milk in their teas. What happened to quality ingredients? One would have to have poor taste buds if they can’t taste the difference between quality oat milk and poor quality cheap oat milk. The same goes for regular milk as well.

Tea (s) -tried 3 so far are awesome! Will definitely go back. Great selection. Flavor and quality the best compared to others in this area.

Well worth the wait! Been here several times and it’s consistently amazing. There’s usually a line, but it goes by pretty fast.
The fresh mango chunks in the Mango Tornado were a nice surprise, the Oreo Brûlée is my favorite treat, and the jasmine green tea was well balanced with cheese foam.
The quality of their ingredients is what makes this tea shop stand out from the rest!

Long queues! But worth the wait. Delicious boba and tea. If you go when they are about to close, you might not get boba as an add on. So be on time!:)

Must stop every time I'm in SoCal! Despite the 20+ minutes line, my bf, sister and I are always down to wait! My favorite is ALL of their tornado drinks. They're all so good. Sometimes, my bf and I even get two drinks each just to make the wait and drive worth it.

The store itself is super small. They want you to order and then wait outside while they call numbers out. They even have ropes outside for the lines. I feel like the employees can sometimes get overwhelm with the lines+orders and get rude. I Also wish they had a tablet to speed up the ordering process or even have mobile order pick up. After ordering, it goes by pretty quick from the large staff. Hopefully they expand soon!

Plaza has lots of parking spaces and the tables outside are nice to hang out at while you wait for your drinks.

My favorites: Mango/Strawberry Tornado, Omomo Matcha, and Avocado Smash

Ube (decaf) milk tea fan and very few places does it as good as they do. They make limited batches of boba so please don’t go when they are about to close because they will most probably be out of it. One of my favorite places in town!

By far the best quality boba spot out there. Taro hits the spot and camo milk tea close 2nd. Very long line and extremely long wait time. Staff are nice. Cups are very high quality and complement the quality of the drinks. Taro paste was very thick and rich, don’t mix. I recommend u scrape some of the custard from around the camo milk tea as u drink.

The best boba tea shop hands down. I travel the world and try many boba shops but this one is the best so far in my list. I usually get Omomo matcha and Cato tea. My friends and family also like this place.

It's pretty sweet so I would definitely get lower than 100%. The special matcha drink was so good, especially with the boba. I was not as big of a fan of the mango tornado or the pineapple seasonal special drink. But, the matcha drink was amazing.
