Their strawberry matcha is pretty good! One of the best matcha drinks I've had. The staff were nice and welcoming. The inside was very spacious and had enough inside seating.

Great place to get your matcha tea cravings. They quality of the items here is pretty good and if you're daring and willing to try new drinks, try something different like the Miffys Matcha Orange Creamsicle Latte (what a long name!). It's something that would never sound good but honestly it's as refreshing and different. I certainly enjoyed it. Along with that their Mango Refresher was very nice with boba added. When it comes to teas I'm more of a black milk tea person but over here it would seem like matcha is what you should try as that's their specialty ingredient. There is a little seating area inside and a lot of seating outside in the public area as well.

My friends and I visited Junbi around 3 PM on a Saturday and were able to find two tables without much trouble. We ordered at the kiosk, and my partner and I shared a cold Madagascar vanilla matcha latte with oat milk, along with an onigiri rice ball filled with snow crab. The drink was pretty good! The Madagascar vanilla flavor stood out, kinda to the point of overshadowing the matcha. We didn't mind, but if you're a matcha purist, you might prefer a simpler drink to better evaluate the quality of the matcha. There's also an option to add a ceremonial matcha shot, which might enhance the matcha flavor if that's your priority. The onigiri was freshly made and thoughtfully packaged with crispy seaweed on the side, ensuring it stays crisp if you decide to eat it later. It was warm and satisfying, especially in today's colder weather. However, the snow crab filling was a bit underwhelming, though understandable given its delicacy. My friend ordered the salmon onigiri felt the same and said he tasted more of furikake than the filling itself. Overall, Junbi didn't blow me away, but I'd definitely be open to trying more items from their menu in the future.

So happy to see there is now a junbi in Irvine! I first tried junbi in Oahu and I've thought of it ever since. Junbi specializes in matcha drinks mixed with fresh juice. They also offer onigiri and a large variety of mixed soft serve. I've tried the POG(a Hawaii exclusive), the strawberry matcha and the orange creamsicle matcha latte. All the drinks I've tried here are extremely refreshing. The matcha is always the perfect shade of green. Drinks are served in a large cup and come out to around $7.50 after tax. The location is very spacious with plenty of standing room and parking. There are however, only about 4-5 tables to sit at. You can order at the front with a cashier or self checkout at one of the two monitors.

I've tried a lot of Junbi's on the west coast, so I decided to try the Irvine location since I was in the area. Location itself was good. Still don't prefer kiosk ordering since it takes awhile to navigate. I ordered: -cold matcha with boba $6.25, pricier side, wasn't as smooth as I would have preferred -salmon sushi $3.75, pricier side, but good snack There is some seating inside. Overall, not a bad spot to stop by. Easy parking in the plaza.

My go-to shop whenever I am in need of boba or matcha! As a college student in Irvine, I find both matcha and boba sweet treat drinks a must. I especially love the Cold Earl Grey Tea with Milk, as well as the classic Matcha Latte. The Matcha Latte is a standout, offering a rich, slightly nutty flavor balanced perfectly with just a hint of sweetness. To add to the amazing drinks, I have gotten to know one of their employees, Chris. He always provides amazing service, is incredibly courteous, and never gets an order wrong! I've seen him keep composure despite a crazy flow of customers, and always keeps a positive energy. Service was outstanding!

I'm not a huge fan of matcha tea but I tried it with a friend who was. The inside had such a cute aesthetic and decorations (it was during the miffy collaboration). I came around 7 on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. We got our orders after about 5-10 minutes. I ordered a hot guava matcha latte since I felt like drinking something nice and warm. I didn't expect it to be so delicious! The guava wasn't too profound to overtake the flavor and gave just the right amount of sweetness to the drink. I would love to try other drinks but I typically stick with the same drinks so we'll see.

Fast and friendly service, delicious soft serve. Got their vanilla soft serve with Hoijicha powder (here they call it "dusting"). Came here for the soft serve because a near by location's choice's machine was broken. Also tried their iced matcha latte with guava, not bad. Just wish alt. milk wasn't +$1.25.
