Had a quick boba with a friend and I have to say it’s a simple quick grab! Had no problem at all. Cookies are so tasty! Simple delicious drinks. Friendly cashier made my drink quickly. I say this is a quick affordable spot! Will be returning when I’m around the area on a hot day!

Been going here for years, but this morning the boba was hard?! If this is the new norm, I think I'll pass from now on.Next day response:Thank you for responding. As per your request, it was around 11am that I ordered the Taro w/boba. I noticed another reviewer had the Taro and mentioned the boba was hard, too.

The staff was super friendly which we appreciated, as we didn't check the menu (see photo) beforehand and were quite overwhelmed with all the options. The boba itself too was very enjoyable.It's good for what it is but I wish they would enhance the menu options with more interesting choices. The service is good, with easy and simple ordering system.

Not to be confused with the Thai restaurant right next door - this boba shop is so good. I got a winter melon milk tea with soy and lychee jelly and it tasted so delicious and was also very refreshing!

Any boba spot that allows you to adjust the sweetness is legit. Refresh allows you to choose below 100% and even up to 200% if you want it extra sweet. We got the taro boba with 20% sweetness and it was just the perfect amount. Not ridiculously sweet. I did feel like they added too much ice, but it was my fault for not asking for less. This is a bit confusing, it's not the Ekkamai Thai restaurant, it is right next door in the white building with their parking lot in the middle. Plenty of parking available which I love. Chill spot, not a sit down type of place. It's a grab and go. Plenty of options.

I've been wanting to update my review - this place has been consistent for a good boba fix. Their drinks are large and always comes out on point! The tea is pretty strong so if you are sensitive to caffeine don't get their drinks too late at night, and I really appreciate they don't load on the sugar so the drinks are always well balanced. Only thing is it would be great if they could add a little bit more boba than they do now. Other than that, definitely recommend it!

Everything was good here, mellow and chill service. Inside is a little interesting in design, but they have places to sit and enjoy. Your pearl tea.A tea itself was well made in a boba was firm the way I like it, the low sugar option is actually pretty low and sugar which is good.

In the neighborhood on a chilly afternoon recently and decided to try this off-shoot from the Thai place next door. The friendly woman behind the counter answered all my questions and was not phased when I asked for only half sugar. Went with a Rose 'Milk Tea which uses Jasmine green tea as the base with rose syrup added. Wow! That rose flavor is potent, but the jasmine still shines through. And the boba is sweet & warm with a nice balance of soft yet chewy. It does start to harden as it cools so next time I'm going to order it in a hot tea drink. The menu is straight-forward without having to decipher any fancy names and the service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely have to come again next time I'm on this side of town. Pro-tip: The parking lot next door for Ekkamai is available for patrons of this establishment, otherwise it's metered street parking.

Good boba! Great for those who like a light milk tea.Boba:Both firm and giving and the overall taste is excellent. Milk tea:The milk tea is bit on the lighter side almost a bit watery. It's not bad by any means but if you're looking for more of a less creamy taste, this would be for you. Definitely a must try and the portions are great. Good option to add to your westside boba catalog.

Excellent boba with great service. Priced well- and the boba was fresh and tasty.

I got the taro milk boba tea with 25% sugar and it’s just perfect! Not too sweet and very creamy but dairy free which is also a plus! Will definitely remember this place for when I have a boba craving! (─‿‿─)♡

One of the only boba places around this area, it's a very simple establishment with basic choices, so don't expect an atmosphere. You can find milk teas and fruit teas but no blended or elaborate flavors. It's good for what it is but I wish they would enhance the menu options with more interesting choices. The service is good, with easy and simple ordering system. Ask for a stamp card to collect rewards.

All milk teas are curated with a soy based creamer!!! The staff was super friendly which we appreciated, as we didn't check the menu (see photo) beforehand and were quite overwhelmed with all the options. After going back and forth between the Wintermelon green milk tea (which tasted like cotton candy according to the cashier) and the Thai milk tea, I picked the Thai milk tea and had absolutely no regrets. 25% sweet with boba was not sweet at all, but which I initially didn't love, but since the size was quite large (one size, I believe), the barely-sweet drink turned out to be just perfect and didn't give me a sugar crash like how sometimes boba does. The boba itself too was very enjoyable. My sister ordered the green milk tea at 25% sweet, which was also barely sweet at all and embodied a strong floral flavor, just what she was looking for. The drinks also didn't come with half a cup of ice. Yes we ordered less ice, but we noticed there wasn't any ice taking up space in the cup, though the drinks were cold. AMAZING. This is hardly ever the case at popular boba chains. I would 100% come back here for the high quality and great value of these drinks! I am a huge boba fan and this place exceeded my expectations. They also have a thai restaurant next door (which is what made me go with the thai iced tea)!

Found a hair embedded in my cookie and called to let them know and he offered to give me a new cookie no thank you!! Keep those hairy cookies to yourselves.

The most bitter green tea I’ve ever had. Even though I had it flavored with white peach and lychee jelly it was inedibly bitter. Inside, there is an unenclosed family area that isn’t for patrons and is unkept. Not the most inviting space.
