🙋🏻What do I recommend: As I mentioned above, they have a very good lunch deal from 12:00 to16:00 on weekdays. You can order Bento for 5.9 euros.
So you might ask me, what is Bento? Bento usually holds rice or noodles, fish or meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables, in a box.
In Yui restaurant, you can get Pork, Chicken or Tempura vegetable bento. I love all of those! especially the price is very good :) YOU MUST TRY!

Boba Koda
📍Address: Müürivahe Tänav 21, Tallinn
⏰ Opening hours: 13–19 (closed on Mondays)

😍 Why I love it so much: This is the best bubble tea shop in Tallinn ever! The taste is very Asian and Taiwanese!!Some people don’t know bubble tea is actually originally from Taiwan.
( yessss!! I am so proud )
And as a Taiwanese, I can say the drink here is very Taiwanese :) there are several bubble tea shops in Tallinn, to be honest, I can say they are just terrible! Only the bubble tea in Boba Koda, I feel Asian the most!!
so definitely listen to my advice! Go today!🙋🏻What do I recommend: Classic bubble tea! If this is your first time trying bubble tea, you should take the most basic one! Even though nowadays Taiwan, bubble tea has already developed into many different flavors. but the most classic one will never fail. In Boba Koda, you can spend around 3~4 euro for one amazing bubble tea, it is the same price as one coffee in the old town. The Bubble is very chewy. I am sure you will be in love with it!
Anyway, it is my short Asian food recommendation in Tallinn, please give me some comments if you want to share or know something better! see you guys next time~
