Like the name, the drinks are quite wonderful. I like to drink boba slushies/smoothies and I am glad that this place uses real fruit for their fruity drinks for a fresh, natural flavor. You can also alter sweetness on many drinks. Highly recommend

Wonderful Foods is a family-owned boba shop that has been operating since the early 90s. I've been coming here with my husband for years and still remember the candy containers that lined the walls and colorful handwritten menu. Although the inside has undergone a makeover, the charm of the shop and flavor of the drinks remains the same in my opinion. It's also one of the few boba shops open late (even though they close earlier than they did back in the day).
The lychee milk tea and white almond milk tea always hit the spot for me. They use finely crushed ice, which I find more pleasant than giant ice cubes because you don't lose out on the amount of drink you're getting and still get a cold drink. Their popcorn chicken is also the best I've had from a boba shop. They also recently added Taiwanese pork buns to their menu and I hope they keep it!
If you're craving classic flavors and bit of nostalgia, Wonderful Foods in the place to go.

Great neighborhood spot for a cold drink. I appreciate they still use real fruit

This place leaves out their boba all day and it's hard as rocks when you come in later in the day. The recipe is always inconsistent and changing of the taste. They got a sign outside saying best boba in town honestly t pumps and quickly nearby taste way better. The portion for their popcorn chicken is so little they only give you up to half a bag. Prices been going up and no change in size or the quality of the drinks.

Chewy tapioca boba, wide selection of non-caffeinated drinks and extras (tea eggs, anyone?)
Grab-n-go is strongly suggested by the sterile interior — there's very little furniture to encourage lingering
Plastic lids on the drinks tend to leak — please consider boba standard seals

Great selection of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks, as well as fresh fruit beverages. Plus, popular snacks like popcorn chicken, fries, onion rings, and more!

This is the only place I've been to that uses real taro!

New vibes pointing to a recent remodel. Very clean looking but it feels a little sterile currently with the lack of decor. This is my longtime favorite after dinner spot for fresh fruit boba tea & smoothies in the sunset district. If you’re not sure what to get, I’d just ask what is the best seasonal fruit they have right now and get a boba / smoothie of that.

Waited 25 minutes in an empty shop for popcorn chicken. I had to ask them to give it to me. They were too busy yapping to even let me know it was ready. Staff is not interested in working at all. Helen Keller could have prepped this faster.

Crushed ice cooled the drink quickly and homie did not skimp on the boba 5/5

Been coming to this place since they opened in the 90s. Next generation preparing to take over and continue the good and always consistent product you've come to expect.
Many places have opened since this family opened but of all the places we've tried over the years, Wonderful Foods is the one place we choose as our go to when it's an option. We don't live nearby anymore but are willing to drive here.
I don't recall my drink ever tasting different over the past 30ish years and that's a good and difficult thing to achieve. My adult kids come here on their own now and will bring their family.
Kid-friendliness: Nothing much for kids to get into trouble.

Good bubble tea, which has a strong “milk tea” flavor.
The boba were pretty nicely cooked, my main complaint is that they use crushed ice which competes with the tapioca pearls to get into your straw. With larger ice cubes, this would’ve been a better drink.
