We ordered two drinks: thai tea with boba, regular ice and sweet & rose honey green milk tea, whole milk w/ 25% sweet. Both drinks were weirdly watery, as if the tea was already weak before adding milk.It was a bummer we had already left by the time we tasted them or I would have gone back to let the staff know.

The boba drinks are good, currently no waffles, too bad, they are delicious. Really like the sesame balls, very fresh and tasty.

One of many Mr. Green Bubble stores in the chain, but this spot has a lot of good seating. One orders at Snackpass kiosks (or on the app) and the prices are fairly reasonable. I've had a few drinks where the tea is a little watered down, but I appreciate that it's not too sweet (although I always order at 25% sweetness).Their boba/pearls are consistently chewy and last, surprisingly overnight once. I also like that they use a non-dairy creamer.Fast experience and their basil popcorn chicken is also a gem.

A cute store decorated in green to match their name. Quite spacious inside with tables and seatings for diners.There’s 2 ordering kiosks in front of the cashier and only one staff present who was busy preparing the orders, so obviously we can only order via kiosks.I ordered Strawberry Matcha Latte which has the thumb up ? with specialty label next to it. The drink was… not good at all. I definitely had better strawberry matcha latte elsewhere. It was to the point where my husband and son who were a fan of matcha latte refused to drink after just 1 sip. Just 1 sip!!! I ended up gulping down the drink in regrets.Parking: Plenty of free parking lots in the shopping centerWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and roadside

good value but they've got to fix the 50c bag fee when you're eating in and not even ordering a bag. feels like a scam

Came for the popcorn chicken, left with an additional milk tea, all-in-all, a good visit to another bubble tea joint.

A fun boba place for tea, drinks, and snacks. We used a tablet and ordered our preferences (less ice, 50% sugar, etc.). We even tried pandan waffles and matcha bubble desserts. Tasty and fresh, it was nice to share.

Came on 5/15 at 3:18pm. Horrible service. Your female employee with black hair was messing around the whole time, used her phone 4 times while I was there. First of all it took me 18 minutes to get a singular drink, the girl was on her phone while several other customers waited around 20 minutes as well. Then the female employee working at this time was using Snapchat or instagram on her phone (I could see the screen) and sending people photos of my order bc she thought it was funny that I ordered 3x boba and joked about it to her coworker. I wasn't offended but she took 4 different photos of my drink, some of which were taken while my order was ready and I sat waiting for it while she took many photos and texted her friends about it. Then when she finished taking pics of my drink she left to do something else so my order sat for several minutes while she messed around. Extremely unprofessional and a waste of my time. Also phones should not be touched while handling food and drinks in food service without hands being washed. I've worked in the industry. So not only is it a health issue but also extremely unprofessional and a waste of everyone's time. Glad I didn't tip.... I almost never ever complain about hourly wage workers because I've been there but this girl clearly doesn't care about anyone else's time.

Generally speaking their snacks are okay. However the bubble tea is one of the worst I ever tried, and the egg in the rice is not fresh anymore.

Tea flavor in the boba drinks is too weak, the flavor is almost entirely creamer, sugar, and water. See TP Tea or Happy Lemon for examples of strong tea flavor. At least the prices are low

Wasn't impressed, especially since I've had much better from other locations before. The drink was icy with chuncks of ice so not blended well, and the chicken wasn't crispy enough. Also, it bugs me that the prices on the posted menu doesn't match the ordering system...guess which one is higher?

Great place to get your boba craving if in the area. Nothing special but does the job. The boba is good but milk teas only okay. Too much creamer in the milk teas. Generally quick in and out. But only do ordering kiosks and some people are super slow that causes a back
