“If there’s one thing I’m completely obsessed with, it’s the taro drink! Finding a place that uses real, authentic taro instead of cheap artificial powder is rare, but they get it right every single time. It is ridiculously smooth, rich, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. Combined with fresh, chewy boba, it’s hands-down my absolute favorite—I crave it constantly!“
“I got the banana match and the mango smoothie. You could really taste the matcha and it had a really nice texture, the banana made a nice balance and extra cozy feeling. The mango smoothie was creamy, but still kept the necessary texture of a smoothie, and the mango flavor was very nice. The atmosphere is very clean and comforting.“

“Awesome service, great atmosphere! The food and drinks are delicious! Strawberry milk tea with Boba, Thai Tea Milkshake with Boba, both standard ice and sweetness was balanced just right! Popcorn chicken was tender and juicy while maintaining it's crispness. The sampler was great, love the crab Rangoon, cheese sticks and potstickers. Very pleased with the entire lovely visit!“

“I love getting tea here. I enjoy their perks and deals they often have. The popcorn chicken is a great snack that pairs well with the tea. Be aware of the parking situation on Friday night and the weekend. The parking lot fills up and can sometimes be an issue, but I tend not to go at busy times, so it's rarely impacted me.“

“I typically go with a taro milk tea, but the owner was very patient and knowledgeable about the different teas. Based on his recommendation, I tried the oolong tea, which did not disappoint!
I generally like boba teas, but to go to an Independence run place adds a whole other level of personality to the teas! I'd be looking forward to coming back again“

“Upon entering the store, I was immediately greeted. The staffs were friendly and helped me narrow down my choices for a fruity drink. Thanks to the server, I was able to order refreshing tropical paradise. Totally recommend to customers.
Parking- lots of free parking.
Ambiance- small and cute boba spot. Not much setting space.“

“The boba pearls here are the best I've ever had spanning multiple states and well over 50 boba shops. I admit, I haven't had boba in Taiwan. The milk tea is sophisticated and nuanced in a way other places can't compete. While I have tried the Roasted oolong, matcha, signature milk tea, tarro, vietnamese coffee, and the pandan, I always just go back to the classic. Oh, and their mochi donuts are the best in the area.“

“We stopped in to try their Thai tea, it was really good. We saw their freshly made donuts and decided on a 4pk. Oh my gosh, they are amazing. We loved them all. They were very fresh and unique in a great way. Highly recommend this place.“

“Hometown Dumpling in Folsom, CA, serves up some authentic homemade dumpling... they gots boiled, steamed , and pan fried in a variety of fillings.
The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items.
I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no. It is homemade and comforting, yes!
The place is clean, comfortable, and has basic furnishings and decor. There is no music or TV. The owner works most of the shifts. It truly is a small family business that welcomes your family.“
