This is a great choice for lunch. They have nice combo meals with food + tea. You do have to upgrade if you want a milk tea with boba but it is worth it (versus a standard tea). They don't ask for tip and they offer a staff discount. I like the crispy chicken or crispy pork steak extra spicy. I would caution that it is easy to forget and get the wrong tea without boba you need to be sure to specify. It would be nice if they asked as I guess most people want the tea with boba.

I ordered stir-fry with vegetables and tofu and it was a very sweet goo with boiled broccoli and carrots. It was tasteless and really not what you would expect from a simple stir-fry. I had to add different sauces to it to make it edible. A lot of people were ordering bubble tea from here so I suppose that is what it is better at. No recommended

The fried chicken here is a bit drier and has a darker texture. The seasoning is okay, but the pearl milk tea is really not that good.

The fries are excellent! I asked for medium spicy and it was still a proper spice level so do beware if you can't handle spice.

i had ordered online but mistakenly at the wrong location. the manager was extremely kind about it and made it at the ucsd location with no extra charge. food was delicious, and quick!
Best boba I’ve had in years. Also chicken snacks slapped.
