This boba place to me is my top boba spot it has yummy boba and they have fun things like their games also
The milk tea pot is such a cute experience and so yummy!!
Ther got a ramen vending machine
I come here often, this place has pretty good service, and I really like that they have a Giant size Boba. However, their syrup is mid tier and their tea really isn't great, being kind of bland without the strong tea flavor you can find at other Boba shops. I really hope they can consider sourcing better tea and syrup, and this place would be one of the best Boba shops around.
Awesome place. Clean. Nice people. Good boba.
Boba tea hot pot is still here!
A little different than what I remember when it was first introduced awhile ago, but still a treat I like to return for (Also, price did increase to ~$20 but it is also the only restaurant that gives this unique experience in the area)
You order the Milk Tea Pot at the digital tablet (like any other drink) & sit & wait for it to arrive at your table. You get to choose your base tea, 3 choice of toppings, and also get to choose syrups (we chose mango & lychee) which are all included in the normal price
The jasmine green tea was actually really tasty especially for my friends who are sensitive to sweetness. There was an extra included clear-as-water syrup that we used as sweetener in the tea pot (but we added too much and accidentally made it as sweet as Teaspoon teas š)
Hope this helps someone! Definitely a fun experience with friends ā¤ļø
Note:
the phone š number does not work to call in. So order online on website or do a walk-in order at the digital self-service tablet.
Also, heads up that on my receipt it says Hot Pot stops getting served at 10:00pm everyday
If music is too loud for conversation, be a polite human being & patiently get the current staff memberās attention to ask they āturn it down a smidgeā. (Or ask when they bring your order to your table like I did)
The mango lover smoothie is really good. Iāve had it at multiple locations. The calamari rings I got today were nearly burnt and did not taste good.

Standard on quality- nothing special for the boba but they do have a hot tea brew Boba Pot at your table which is kind of cool and it was good.
I like they have 32oz tea size but standard item with boba is $7.55 and over $8 with tax so price is in line with other boba places but still pricey for value.
I do not like that the kiosk (you must order from) tries to force a tip or you cannot complete the pay transaction/order; the work around you have to choose ācustom tipā then enter 0$ to not tip if thatās your choice. That knocks it to 3 āļø.
If youāre craving a late-night boba fix, this spot has you covered. The drinks are decent, and the decor is pleasing. I had ordered green tea mango with mango boba. It was okayish. The tea was decent, the mango flavor was there, but the boba itself could have been fresher. That said, the late-night hours are a huge win. Itās spacious so you could get your work done without feeling crammed into a tiny corner. If you need a roomy spot to sip and be productive, this place delivers.
I always have to get their tea when in area.

Got the mango lover and the smoothie was well blended. Wish there was a bit more mango and the mango was better integrated though

The atmosphere and drink quality is average, but it is open late! If it's past 10pm and everything else is closed, and you don't like the bar scene, this is a decent place to go.
I'm a milk tea snob and take it upon myself to try out all the milk tea places in the bay area, some in LA, Phoenix Arizona, Taiwan & Vietnam. Milk tea lab flavor is very special. I love their honey roasted milk tea, both hot and cold. Kudos for clean bathroom and pho/udon/ramen vending machine. There are plenty of tables to sit and study. They have the kind of teas that I can sit, study and enjoy. Boba is nice and soft as well

This place is beyond expensive a regular size drink is $7.44 after tax. I canāt believe how outrageous these drinks are getting. It doesnāt even make sense anymore the price gouging is absolutely horrible. The drink was super liquidy and I ordered a smoothie. The quality isnāt the same and the prices are unreasonable.
