Customer service was good . However, the food was hard and really cold.We ordered at 10pm on a friday night and got 2 of the 8combos. Maybe thats why? but I feel like at least the rice or the sauce should be warm but sadly it wasn't. I dont think ill get it at night time or in general. Also for one of it there was gyoza and one wasn't so my bf got super sad with his.

I gave it a second chance and it was quite good! The drinks ofc was 10/10 and customer service. The food was 100 times better than last time. It was warm and had the good flavor for the curry and the short ribs. Also the salad that came with it was fresh and thr gyoza was hot and crunchy. I think it was just bad last yime since it was near closing time. If you are at ucsd or near you should definitely try!
It is ok in my opinion! Not the best boba place ever but far from the worst! I like the fries a lot though and also the extremely convenient location at UC San Diego.
Great service and great prices for drinks
Brent was exceptional in his service, he was really nice after we went back to adjust our drink. The snow boba was amazing especially for a hot day.
Trust me. You wouldn't regret ordering combo #8. I've tried all combo items on the menu and IMO it's the only one with the best value. Thank me later ✌🏻
As others have said, very solid food and decent drinks. I especially enjoy the grilled chicken steak. I usually get curry on top to add more flavor to the rice.
I got few times having crispy chicken rice hể and the chicken was sour as if it was out of date
Bought the fried chicken steak rice. It was not edible at all. Half of the pieces were dry and hard as stone, while the other half were barely chewable. It was flavorless and lacked any seasoning. The teriyaki chicken or mushroom chicken at Panda Express is a million times better than this.
Over priced and customer service is horrible
great consumer service! very friendly

Chicken Steak was super dry. It was like eating tree bark with spicy powder on it. Two stars because the green tea was actually pretty good.
After coming to this place often for the past year it has just been going downhill. I asked for a mango milk tea and it came out looking like diarrhea. It doesn't even taste like mango either. I don't know what they put in that drink but it's heartbreaking to see this place go downhill. I will be taking my business to Jamba Juice.
Solid place. I came here for the boba one time with some friends. Though it was a bit expensive, the place is good and the staff are hard-working and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed it, and their variety of flavors doesn't leave much to be desired.
Good food and gets the job done. The staff are hardworking even though it must be tough as students and the manager is a human ray of sunshine. The drinks leave a LOT to be desired but I go for mainly fried popcorn chicken and that’s almost consistently good. Sometimes they forget to put in the thai basil so the flavor on the chicken is slightly lacking or the chicken itself isn’t warm (could tell it was sitting there for a while). But as a hungry college student who likes spicy fried chicken, this is one of my top spots for non HDH food on campus.
Taro Tapioca is a must-try
