Nubi Yogurt

In a plaza that I have been hearing a few people I know calling this place, «Chinese Vegas». With all the glimmering lights and the crowds walking through here, it certainly does remind me of the Vegas strip right here in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) with everyone taking their time crossing the parking lot with no regards to the car heading their way.
I think this place had a really huge disadvantage with the location to begin with. The layout and the different flavors may have you thinking Yogurtland but I thought it was better. Being a «mom & pops» type of joint, I was hoping it would last for a long while. Time to see what other dessert places are around this area so I don’t have to mow anyone down who walks at a snail’s pace.

CLOSED!
that’s too bad.

The yogurt was super icey/watery…ick. The flavors tasted really weird… especially the taro.
They had this cute «burst boba» topping available, which I’ve never seen before at a yogurt shop, but it turned out to be really gross haha

I ran across Nubi Yogurt while strolling around this shopping center last night. I’ve seen one at the Las Vegas at Fashion Show mall but this was my first experience trying their product.
My order real strawberry, chocolate and the Dole pineapple sorbet. The concept is similar to yogurt land but the taste and quality was better overall. The price is more expensive but well worth it.
Only con is it’s further for me to travel here but if I’m in the area It’s definitely worth stopping in.

Shaved snow at Nubi? 50% off from 6pm-​closing? Hell yea! There’s 4 flavors to choose from: original, mango, green tea and taro. You have a choice of 2 toppings (additional toppings are 75 cents) + syrup. I had the mango snow with mangos, lychee and red bean with condensed milk. It actually looked like shaved snow, pretty close to Class 302 but tastewise, Class 302 reigns supreme.

The yogurt here is a hit or miss. Sometimes the texture is too soft or too icy.
During one of my visits, I smelled MJ coming from the back… not on the job please.
And the plaza smells bad.

Very similar to yogurtland. Except after I got my yogurt, there was no one at the register! I could have walked out and no one would know… luckily there was a bell that I dinged and someone walked out right away. He seemed extremely anti-​social and disengaged though. I could tell he didn’t want to be there, he didn’t want to talk, he just wanted to get his hours in… not cool. I pretty much tried all the flavors they had that day, so let’s break this down:
Toppings: toppings were plentiful and counter was clean, but those were some awfully sour strawberries…
Vanilla: Had a weird chemical/​fake flavor to it. I disliked it a lot.
Green tea: Very interesting. Instead of matcha, it tasted more like a jasmine green tea… it was good, but I wish they told me it was tart.
Taro: Delicious strong taro flavor, though I prefer my taro like yogurtlands – sweet and not tart.
Blueberry: Very good. Milder and lighter than Yogurtland’s «in yoh face explosion of flavor» blueberry.
Cheesecake: Did not taste like cheesecake. I actually have no idea what the flavor would be… sweet fake vanilla-​ish?
Café Latte: My favorite of all the flavors. Creamy and deliciously sweet!
Nubi tart: This was their new «Original.» I felt that it was icier than their old original with less creamy flavor. Needless to say, I like the original more.
I’m pretty sure I tried more than that (I bought $ 6.50 worth!), but these were the ones I remembered. The signs said some flavors were tart, though it didn’t say that for ALL the tart flavors there, which threw me off :\ Overall it’s not bad, but it’s not the best either. I’d come again if I was in the area.

This was a very cute self serve frozen yogurt place. Super cute décor! There was a small selection of toppings. You can get something called snow that was kind of expensive, so I didn’t try it.
I got original tart froyo with blueberries. The froyo wasn’t very tart; it was actually really sweet and melted before I could finish eating it. The blueberries were not fully ripe and sour as well.

I couldn’t believe this place has such a high rank!
I’ve always came to this plaza but never been into this place. So I decided to give it a try. But the result turned out disappointing…
The yogurt was really watery, and the flavor was just not right. Every fruit flavor tasted like artificial flavoring… eawwwwww… Disgusting! I was really regretted to come in… I would never give it a try, ever.

Pretty decent place; sweeter than Yogurtland though. But it has all the toppings you expect from a yogurt place. I love their tarts; lychee tart was the most impressive!
There’s not enough seating because so many lone people take up the entire table *shakes fist* but because it’s in a plaza, there’s always benches to sit at outside the shop or if you want to walk and eat, there’s lots of places to wander around and do some window-​shopping :)
But to warn ya, this place has horrible parking; it IS an Asian plaza where everyone goes to on weekends, so be prepared.

At one point this froyo chain had a 50% off promotion then the percentage gradually dipped to 40%, 30%, and now 20% off. Not that I’m taking the current promotion for granted, but this is off 38 cents per ounce at normal price which is still higher than Yogurtland. I came to this Nubi location with fellow Unilocaler Tony Y. Jr. who was very generous to treat me to a cup of froyo filled with lychee, strawberry, taro, and orange creamcicle swirls coupled with mango, kiwi, mandarin orange, peaches, and lychee toppings. The toppings were moderately fresh, but I loved the lychee, strawberry and taro flavors as they were creamy, refreshing, and the taste was on point. The newly introduced orange creamcicle froyo did not translate well as the tart orange flavor was off-​centered with a bitter aftertaste and the needed creamy vanilla flavor was sorely missing. Minus the orange creamcicle and few lackluster toppings here and there, it was a pretty decent froyo experience as the sparkling flavors and creamy consistency still ranks among the best.
Service was very friendly and efficient. The structural downside of this location has much to with the narrow walkways in between the 14 flavors of self-​serve layout and the small horizontal seating area. With the place bustling throughout the day, seats can be hard to find while the noise level is high and not conducive to a meaningful hangout. As for the toppings, the area in which they’re stored is clean and organized, with dry toppings neatly compartmentalized and the fruit toppings exposed for people to serve themselves. I would love to try the other sister locations as I suspect the structural limitation and quality inconsistencies described above are the exception to the norm across stores, with the Arcadia location as a case in point. Placing additional tables outside in the enclosed area of the plaza can be the first step to ameliorate some of the shortfalls. Additionally, the promotion would have given me a more compelling experience had it started with 20% off that later surged to half off. 3.5 stars for the overall experience.

Nubi Yogurt — you stole my multi-​flavor, self-​serve FroYo virginity. You were my first experience of ‘charge by the weight’ FroYo and will forever have a special place in my heart.
Other than that, you’ve since fallen off the map, yo!
Yogurtland was probably the worst thing that ever happened to Nubi Yogurt, since Y’land has been poppin’ up everywhere. And honestly? Y’land tastes better — there’s more flavor selections and is 8 cents cheaper per ounce when Nubi doesn’t go 50% off.
The facility is very small and has a limited seating area — but you’re most likely taking it on the run anyways. The workers keep the place pretty clean, although the customers always find a way to dirty things right after the worker cleans an area.
ME LIKES: Dole Pineapple — reminds me greatly of the Dole Whip at Disneyland. The flavor is just right and extremely enjoyable.
ME NO LIKES: Pretty much everything else there.
There’s really nothing too great about Nubi — it will always be second-​rate in my book. I would have given it 2-​stars because I’ve had better, but being this is the first place I’ve ever had this style of FroYo — it gets one more star for perks.

Terrible things have happened!
Nubis has lowered their quality. I don’t think is the competition across the street (Yogurtland in Fortune Plaza), but recently, Nubis went 15 cents per ounce. I was so ecstatic when I heard in December, but the last visit was just not satisfactory.
The yogurt is extremely runny and, during two of the times I went to this Nubis, they ran out of my fav. flavors.

Nothing too spectacular about the yogurt… the toppings are not bad… except the fruit is typically a littttle bit sour. Not quite ripened yet, it seems.
The one person behind the counter is usually rather unpleasant… not uncommon for this place.
Recommendation:
Go in, pick your yogurt, pick your toppings, weigh your stuff, and get out. No eye contact preferred.
Definitely an average yogurt experience. 3 Stars.
Victor G, you don’t have to try this place, heheh

Located in the plaza with Ranch 99,
It is convienient for the location, but yogurtland is better.
I like there mix of dry topping, but there yogurt doesnt have
much body and melt fairly quickly.

Only if one place sold Vietnamese sandwich baguettes, tapioca drinks, craw fish, and yogurt at one place they would have accurately captured the Asian food fads within the last 10 years or so. Once viewed as an inferior product to ice cream it has taken on a life of its own. Yogurt has filled the need for an inexpensive quick snack with the ability to self-​customize their creation. Not only that but it is a good that many commonly share since it is not as high in calories as ice cream yet it is not so bland that you would steer away from it. It has somewhat become a social gathering event just to have yogurt.
With so many business owners trying to jump on the yogurt wagon there is bound to be a lot of copy cats and second rate products. I feel that Nubi, although independent as far as I know, does not offer much above and beyond non-​franchised establishments should offer (better selection, creative offerings, etc). The yogurt here is decent but I just feel that they could have been more creative with what they can offer that sets them apart from Yogurtland and Pinkberry.
Seating is very limited inside and is prone to overcrowding due to its small location. Also, don’t count on trying to eat outside since during summer it is rather annoying to have the sun beam down on you while trying to enjoy your quickly melting dessert.

Nubi has some very good flavors. The last time I went there I had the original tart and lychee tart. Both were good and I thought the lychee was a touch too sweet after several bites. I sampled raspberry pomegranate (non-​fat) and pistachio (non-​fat), which were both very good as well, but my stomach didn’t like them as much (probably too much dairy). They have a lot of toppings (fresh fruit, sweets).
Nubi charges $ 0.38/an ounce and don’t charge you for the weight of the cup. Cool.
Cheers!

My FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE place to grab frozen yogurt. I remember when Peach House first opened, I always went there, simple just «Peach» frozen yogurt. I never had it with toppings, ever.
THEN CAME *NUBI*, first time…. was obviously not my last. I was so happy Nubi opened because it was much cheaper than Peach House and got me into getting different toppings, something I never tried!
It’s kind of sad, Peach House use to be packed but after Nubi opened, not a soul was seen inside the peachy house.
I love this location. It’s located on the corner of the inside at Focus Plaza and the parking is great! I’m always lucky with parking though so others may hate the parking. They have indoor seatings and outside. Both are great!
This Nubi beats the new opening of the Santa Anita one AND «Yogurtland» that recently opened up @ Garfield. GROSS! I LOVE Nubi!!!
:)

So I’ve been to a handful of yogurt places and this one by far has got to be the best! I like the idea of the self-​serve machines and the fact that they have tons of flavors. Pistachio, raspberry-​pomegranate, chocolate nsa (no sugar added), original, mango, and green tea just to name some.
It was really cheap and the guys who worked there were really cool too. My bro wanted the original, but I guess they ran out and had to make a new batch. B/​c of that, they gave my bro a 20% discount. I should have paid mine with his so then I have rode his coattail!!! Darn me for being so impatient.
I like their selections of toppings and just the general idea of you putting everything on yourself. Very decent prices too. 38 cents per ounce is reasonable. Yay for Nubi. I don’t think I will go back to Pinkberry ever again!!!

Not as cheap as Yogurt land so the price will end up coming out similar to Pinkberry/​Red Mango pricing (I think 39 cents/​ounce?). The place is small and cramped and less flavors than Yogurtland. However, there are more non-​fruit/​dry toppings offered here than Yogurtland as well as JELLY square toppings that you won’t find outside of SGV. I’m sold.
Kinda stuffy inside — so eat yours outside on a bench.
Location: Focus Plaza.
Parking: huge lot
Peep the pix.
