We ordered two different type of cookies and cream, and omg it was delicious, we also ordered some fried dumplings and they were freshly made and so delicious, everyone in the shop was so nice and greeted us so happily, me and my husband felt very welcomed. Big added bonus if you're a kpop fan, they had several songs playing in the background such as Queen Card and S-Class

The drinks are great when the manager makes them other than that all the young workers have no idea what they're doing. Nobody washes their hands. There's always a language barrier. I went in today and asked the lady why they're always closed during business hours and she said she doesn't know she's only the manager...??? My total was $16 for 3 drinks, I hand her a twenty she stares at it, CHECKS IT TO SEE IF ITS REAL WITH A BLACK SHARPIE MARKER, and then asks me if it's real because the line was black. So I pay with smaller bills. I will never come back to this place. It's ridiculous.

As soon as i came in, the owner greeted me in well The drink is so good first of all and the atmosphere is great as well I would recommend the tea's with boba, It's at a mall so you are able to park for free, Come on and try out the tea's and the food as well in case your hungry,

Boba Tea in Gardena, California... Every time Craig Y. checks in at King Boba, I'm reminded to write a review... When we went with Tim C., six months ago, King Boba was a Hot New Business. Craig knew that it used to be Moana Grill because this is his neighborhood. I just went along because the guys wanted dessert... LOL! The service was friendly! They told us that they were working on their menu and would have more selection next time. The environment was simple at the time. From more recent photos, it looks like there's a bit more decorations. Our drinks were great! It hit the spot! I got a Horchata Smoothie because we don't often get horchata as a flavor choice in Hawaii. It was cinnamon-refreshing and not too sweet! This must be a really good place because Craig still goes to King Boba and is The Duke here!

Our regular Boba place was closed. We decided to try this place. We ordered 2 mango smoothies and 1 Pina colada. The Pina Colada tastes like sugar water?!? The mango smoothies had pieces of mango. One was filled all the way the other looked like someone had taken a sip. Threw them out! Never coming back $20.25 wasted! :(

Boba "King" isn't King at all I have to say I'm so disappointed! The photos posted and shown on the screen inside their shop are not what you'll get don't be fooled. The mango strawberry tea was missing mango pieces and flavor, it was all tea. As for the "popcorn chicken" it isn't the popcorn chicken you're used to ordering at different milk tea places these popcorn chicken were frozen and airfried probably from tv dinner trays the ones for kids frozen meals it was dry as the cork from a wine bottle. Although I have to admit the employee customer service was great. I would not go back there ever .

Brown Boba milk tea was watery and tasted funny. Like the wrong flavor of the brown sugar was made? The taro milk tea was watery and had literally ten bobas. I ordered 3 drinks and paid 17.25! The only milk tea made right was the pistachio milk tea but had lots of ice. I didnt even enjoy or finish my taro milk tea. My daughter didnt finish her brown milk tea either. I Wont be coming back.

Extremely SLOW service on a Saturday night. Only one employee working with about 10 people waiting for drinks. They need to have more workers. Waited over 30 minutes for one drink. The boba drink was terrible. It was watered down. Stay away unless you like SLOW service.

The lady that was on shift when I went there didn't speak very good English. We understood little of what she said and she didn't really understand what we wanted. She seemed really nice though, but it would be better if there was someone that would be able to help out. The Thai tea was pretty good and the boba was good too. Some of the food we tried wasn't that great. I would just recommend the drinks.

AVOID this place. It has worst service attitude. Takes more than 20 minutes for 2 drinks. The server doesn’t want to explain the menu. The owner didn’t wash her hands when coming from outside before serving. They don’t apologize for the delay or poor hygiene. Lights were off, smells inside.
?I am so happy I stopped here, my experience was above and beyond with one employee by the name of WENDY, not only was she helpful, she was so courteous, kind, and just plain sweet! I came in for a Jasmin Milk tea, my goto and usually the only drink I ever get at boba places, and she had mentioned with a worried face, ??♀️only half the menu was available due to the prep work for those teas and similar items. (I've worked in food places before, along with tea and it does take a good moment to steep the leaves.)So, I asked her if they had something without dairy please, ("gulp",for personal reasons) and she steared me to the Taro smoothie with coconut milk!! It was sooooo tasty, and I think I found a new favorite! Kudos to this warm and kind individual for taking the time for me. If not for her I would have just left. She truly made my day! AND she was so welcoming and even took the time to chat up the menu and such. Lovely soul! I will be back just so I could thank her again!?THANKYOU WENDY!!????(P.s. To the owner, please give this girl a raise or make her manager if she isn't already!)
