This place is still fairly new and it’s been in my bookmarks for a month or two now. Their menu looks really straightforward and the pictures are very pleasing to my taste buds. Went down to this spot on Saturday, September 14, 2019, at approximately 1600 hours and this place was completely dead. Well, it’s at the end of a fairly big plaza and it’s hard to find if you’re trying to look for it with your naked eye. It’s actually named KSF from the outside, so just look for that. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by whom I think is the owner and asked if it was for here or to go. The younger girl that took my order once again asked if it was for here or to go. I sort of knew what I wanted before going in because I did some window shopping on Yelp beforehand. Here’s what I went with: **Taro Milk Tea w/ Crystal Boba: First off, I’ve heard that this place uses real taro and not the powdered kind, so I wanted to try that out. It whas chunks of taro, which is good, but not really to my liking. The cup was really small, your basic 16 oz cup and ice filled half way, so definitely ask for less ice or even no ice. A couple sips and I was finished. Also, I wanted regular boba, but they only had crystal boba. Not a fan, but I got it anyways. Not totally satisfying, but oh well. Flavor profile was good, but quantity was horrible. **Garlic Noodles w/ Shaken Beef: This was a total bummer. I’m usually a fan of garlic noodle dishes, but this one was the worst I’ve ever had. First of all, you can barely taste any garlic. Second, you had a little side of noodles, some bell peppers, and a very small portion for the extra I paid to add beef. Third, the noodles were drenched in some soy sauce base which ruined the whole dish for me. It was more like a chow mein drenched in soy sauce and I was very dissatisfied with it. **Cheese Tater Tots: I mean, I had to get one of these because who doesn’t love tater tots? The portion for the tots were great. The cheese on top with the onions, tomato, and the red sauce they also put on the base was delicious. This was my favorite dish of the evening. Overall, pretty disappointed with this establishment. Garlic noodles were subpar. The tots were good, but nothing to rave about. My drink, good taste, but too much ice and no regular boba. Service is your typical hipster mom and pop shop with broken English. I’d probably come back for a late night bite with friends, but if you’re looking for a meal for yourself and the family, I’d skip this place. Interesting menu items and fair prices, but the place is dead. The plaza is dead. It’s in the corner where you can barely see the shop. Bad location.

Lollicup Tea Zone – Menu with Prices – 1550 E H St #H, Chula Vista

My go to boba place even though there’s a boba place across the street from me! The boba here is always nicely chewy and sweet. Usually, when you get boba late at night or close to closing, a shop’s boba is hard and VERY unappealing. But fear not, this boba shop has fresh boba even to the very end of the day. The drinks are blended to perfection. Drinks are not too sweet– if you’d like a modification on sweetness, just let a worker know! The shop is pretty spacious. However, if you go right after one of the schools get out, chances are you’ll be around a lot of middle/high schoolers. If you do catch yourself in this time, don’t worry because the line goes by pretty fast and your drinks come in a timely manner. The owners are amazing and friendly as always. Today, I went to the shop to get a friend a gift. I got a Taro slush with boba, bag of Sour Patch kids, and a gift certificate. The owner offered to put the bag of candy and gift certificate in a boba cup and seal it! It was super cute! To overlook this place would be a crime. It’s not the trendiest looking place, but it is the tastiest.

Tea Cup Boba House Menu with Prices 1725 E Riverside Dr Unit B, Austin

We were pumped to hear that there was a new boba spot in South ATX! But it’s not the boba spot for this yelper, sadly. After some dinner across the street, a few of us stopped by. Tea cup is located in the same plaza as the gas station and a new donut shop apparently. Parking is limited, but we were able to find a spot right outside their storefront in the gas station. It was later in the evening, so I opted for the watermelon tea drink since it was non-caffeinated. Their tapioca boba pearls were way too soft and didn’t have a chewy QQ texture. I also requested 0% sweetness (as I usually do, yes I’m crazy) and the watermelon drink was too sweet for my taste. I asked which fruit teas were made with real fruit, and this one was the only one. They also said that the taro was powdered. So that just limited my selection easily. Service was friendly, and the folks working deserve 5 stars. I do love that they have strong wifi and an assortment of seats for people to sit in and play board games. They also have a one-stall restroom for customers, but it wasn’t entirely checked on for items (like toilet paper) that was completely out. Evidently, the prime reason for a boba shop itself should be the boba. I would dare say that I will continue to drive farther up north for better boba. Thanks for the taste test, Tea Cup. Good luck!

RareTea Berkeley Menu with Prices 2440 Bancroft Way, Berkeley

Very disappointed. Wasted money, calories, time. It is no secret, I love boba and I try my best to sample new places so I can yelp about them too!!We wanted to try a new place in Berkley and saw high stars and lots of reviews for this place so thought of giving it a go. The location has limited parking options and is best to walk to it ( from the Main Street ) or park far and walk. It is a small place which looked very make shift for some reason. The menu is limited and has been categorised well actually for ease of ordering. We got the Taro boba tea (cold) and the Coffee milk tea with boba ( hot). Both orders costs $9.00 making this not a cheap place and very comparable to other boba places. The hot drink was not hot !! Yes , it was maybe luke warm. I brought that to the attention of the staff and they microwaved it in front me. Still not hot. The flavour was so weak and the tea tasted more like water less like milk. The only good thing was the boba which by itself was actually good. The drink overall was not good 3/10. The Taro drink was better than the hot one but also lacked good flavour and was very watered down. 4/10. The boba itself had great texture but the drink diminished the boba completely. We left very unhappy and I unfortunately would not recommend this to anyone.

Thai Bistro 98 – Menu with Prices – 8200 West 98 Hwy, Pensacola

The people that works there are different from our first time there which is 6 months ago,we came back yesterday and it was so bad.We waited long time to get our water and even the time we needed to see the menu to order.As we ordered i said mine would be mild and my husband wants spicy like hot spicy bc usually thai place would ask you what type or level u want the man said we have to tell them bc they dont actually do that but weve been there and most of thai place does that it will also show on the menu.The food look so diff how it was cooked of course the taste as well did not say anything so for me to at least make it better ordered boba taro.i i said can i pls have some taro he said what kind of taro?? I said taro boba smoothie,were the only customer there we can hear the blender running long time my taro is so liquid already and he gave it to me said sorry no tapioca i said sir sorry this is not how it supposed to look and color is supposed to be purple its white and just liquid he said maybe its the weather thats why its diff smh,we left we paid everything.The insult is the worst part when you have been eating and drinking that from diff places and color and taste is very different and still you will hear lies and excuses.We are so polite to explain and i cook too I understand that some place might make it diff but theres not even a lil near of how that food supposed to be like that or the drink

Kung Fu Tea – Menu with Prices – 2067 N Central Expy Suite 100, Richardson

Kung Fu Tea One of my favorite Boba chains and has locations all over the US. My favorite drinks from KFT are the milk teas. The Milk Teas at KFT are my favorite because of how creamy and rich the milk tea is compared to other Boba shop chains. The inside of the place is clean and looks nice but tables can be dirty like any other boba shop. The staff can make common mistakes just like any other boba shops. Another thing is their attention to your sugar preference. Sometimes I can order 50% sweetness but it’s still really sweet at KFT. This goes for every single boba shop out their is their attention to your sugar preference that you order. The same thing applies when you ask for less ice at KFT and all boba shops can give you normal ice amount. I’ve been to many boba chains and my favorite boba chain is ShareTea for its generous serving of boba and you get a larger size for the same price as a small size at KFT. The tea creaminess of the milk tea at ShareTea is more subtle then KFT. So it’s all a matter of your preference if you want more tea and stronger tea flavor go to ShareTea if you like your tea creamy but get less tea go to Kung Fu Tea. Another thing I don’t like about KFT is that they use a lot of powder flavoring for fruit drinks like taro. My favorite drink at KFT is oolong milk tea with boba because it’s creamy and rich flavor and a nutty taste. Drinks I recommend ordering are the Matcha red bean slush, oolong milk tea, and Kung fu tea. KFT also has an app to earn rewards and points every time you buy.

Black Pearls Tea Bar Menu with Prices 2630 S Parker Rd, Aurora

I have visited this boba place multiple times since it has first opened. Initially it was very good, they have a multitude of different drinks and have recently expanded their food menu as well as finally fixing their ice cream machine. My usual drink was the Taro Milk Tea with boba and after my visit today with my friend, I will never go here again. After a very long wait, my order was called and they had messed up my order. Instead of a Taro milk tea, which the person who took my order repeated after me confirming what I had ordered, instead when I got my drink it said on the receipt Thai milk tea. I informed them that they had gotten my order wrong and when they remade my drink it was absolutely disgusting. Taro at Black Pearl is a powdered tea that requires shaking, the person who had made it did not leave it on the machine long enough because when I started drinking it, the milk and powder began to separate almost as soon as I walked out of the door. Usually the boba at this place is pretty good quality, but today it was undercooked, making it inedible. And for the final straw, I was drinking my Taro Milk Tea with Boba when I bit down on something much harder than boba. Spitting it out, it was some sort of disgusting NOT FOOD item that was like black char/paint mixed in with the boba. Looking closer at my drink I realized that there were black flecks floating in with the drink and around the straw. Sad to say their quality and service have gotten this low. Definitely avoid this place!

On+On – Fresh Asian Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 1441 W Knox St #C100, Torrance

On + On is basically Korean Chipotle. You get to customize your bowl, starting with a base, protein, veggies, toppings, and sauce. I’ve been here a few times for lunch because it’s tasty, inexpensive, and fast. For my base, I usually get half buckwheat noodles and half salad with grilled chicken or bbq beef. I prefer the beef because it is marinated and the chicken can be dry sometimes. For the veggies, I get half brussels sprouts (so good!!) and half zucchini. They also have a variety of fresh toppings for you to choose from. For the sauce, the Honey Teriyaki and Hot taste well together. I recommend asking for the sauce on the side so you can control the amount of sauce to your liking. During my first visit, I didn’t get it on the side and it was difficult to finish because my bowl was drenched. One thing is that I wish they had a vegetarian option for the protein. My friend is trying to cut out all meat but had to resort to getting salmon because they didn’t have vegetarian options, such as tofu.

Nana thai & Teriyaki – Menu with Prices – 430 E 25th St #37, Tacoma

My boyfriend and I came to the Freight House Square area to get macarons from La Waffletz. However, we wanted to have a quick lunch. There were so many places to choose from but we settled on this Thai and teriyaki place. I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki and my boyfriend ordered the pad Thai. I believe it was $8.95 each and a bottle of water for $1. Good prices. We both love spicy food so he had ordered the pad Thai dish in 5 star spicy level. The wait time was average and we were excited to dig in. Let me start by saying the portion size is very generous. We were able to eat and become full with half the portion. My spicy chicken was good. The chicken wasn’t dry and had a nice spice level to it. Two very large scoops of rice lay beneath the chicken. It also came with a salad and a ranch base dressing on the side. I didn’t really care for the dressing but the chicken and lettuce together is also a good combination. My boyfriend didn’t like his pad Thai. He mentioned that the noodles were really wet and had an off taste. I tried some and agreed something was off. The noodles could have been stir fried a little longer so they could be softer and for more of the sauce to coat and absorb into them. We both agreed that we would definitely not order that dish again. Overall, it was an ok lunch. Really nothing to write home about. The staff was very friendly and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a big portion of average Asian food.

Moo House Cafe – Menu with Prices – 7310 Louetta Rd a120, Spring

How cute is this place?! I mean seriously…it’s like it was made for Instagram. They have a menu, and they have pictures on the wall of drinks that aren’t in the menu (I assumed they were). Lots of fun, “newer” type drinks and foods. I wanted to try the Mexican fries with the hot Cheeto powder on top, but was scared it might be too spicy for my toddler to share, so the kind girl at the register gave me cups of the cheese and cheeto fairy dust to put on my potion of fries and tots. Love that! The fish bowl green apple drink was seriously amazing..not only good looking but great tasting too! My taro coconut boba was super sweet and I didn’t know there was an option to opt for less sugar. You could go to 50% sugar if you wanted to, so it’s good to have that option. I had the coffee drink as well and that was also very tasty although I thought it would be like Vietnamese coffee and it was not it… had a different taste but still good nonetheless. Just don’t expect Vietnamese coffee. They had board games, a cute little area for children and nice, clean bathrooms. I’m always weary of going to boba places or cafes with young children and I’m so happy to know that we are welcome there.

Chatime Fullerton – Menu with Prices – 410 E Chapman Ave Suite B, Fullerton

Wow! I am impressed! I had heard of this place once before and I remember ordering a boba here while I was in Sydney a year ago. I was excited to find out that another one opened up that was a lot closer than the other location. (The one in Rowland Heights is pretty far from where I live) I will say one thing though: it was pretty complicated how to get into the parking lot and we ended up parking at a neighborhood and walking to the place. I understand though that the location, being next to homes and a university, would make it harder to make an easy entrance to the parking lot. Anyways, I ordered the taro milk tea with cheese foam and boba and I really liked the cups they put the drink in! Similar to Jie Boba or BobaTEAque. My first sip was very tasty, but I made the terrible mistake of getting cheese foam with the taro. I decided to mix it up and it tasted pretty horrible after that. I do not recommend getting the taro milk tea with cheese foam… The drink wasn’t too sweet and the boba was just right. Not too overcooked (not too soft), and not too undercooked (not too hard). Next time, I will be sure to order any of the drinks WITHOUT cheese foam. But overall, the drink was great at the start, the service was great, and the employees were nice.

Sloppy Joe’s Snack Shack – Menu with Prices – 1140 Monroe Ave NW Suite 2102, Grand Rapids

A bit on the expensive side for the portion but overall good food. Ordered the Sloppy dog and loaded tator tots for about $10. The workers were friendly and food came out within 5-10 minutes. The sloppy dog was good, filled with a decent amount of sloppy joe sauce and cheese although the hot dog used is very unique..seemed like it had an outer layer that was more like a brat except it was a hot dog? The loaded tator tots had lots of sloppy joe sauce and cheese as well, but I feel like the portion size could be adjusted. Either that or a different container used as it barely covers the bottom layer of the to go box and looks like you’re missing some. The sloppy joe sauce on both items was actually the star. I’ve never had such an onion strong taste in a sloppy joe so that flavor hit me as a good surprise. I would come here again to try different items.

Little Saigon Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 7016 N 57th Ave, Glendale

My husband and I had a craving for some pho. The options are somewhat limited in the West Valley though. I got the beef pho with rice noodles (#11) and my husband got the pork and wonton soup with egg noodles. Both dishes were decent but nothing special. My dish was described as having beef, medium fat beef and tripe (tendon crossed out which is one of my favorites). I’m not sure what medium fat beef is but what was actually in my pho was a meatball. The beef and tripe were cooked well and tender. The broth was very mild; mostly salted without much umami. The portion sizes were good though. Service was great and everything brought on time including refills. The restaurant is kind of cute also. Not amazingly clean but decorated. They advertise shaved snow on the menu but after we ordered (half the toppings weren’t available) someone else came out and said they don’t offer it anymore. We got a green milk tea with boba and a mango smoothie with boba. The green milk tea was very low quality, tasted like powdered milk, and the boba was over cooked. My first sign should have been the excessive froth on top. The mango smoothie was also low quality. It tasted like watered down Hi-C, very artificial and the boba was overcooked into a clump at the bottom of the cup. We’d much rather drive further and go to a better pho place like Unphogetable. Absolute worst boba drinks we have ever had. Will definitely not order those again. In all honesty, we probably won’t come back anyway.
