Bubble Tea near San Ysidro

“It's probably the time of the year but it was really busy when I was there that was maybe a line of at least 10 people waiting to be handled by the people doing all the work but they managed to resolve everybody's order and I was really happy. The restaurant is conveniently located inside the plaza and there's plenty of parking room so you won't worry about that. Since they're always selling food that means that you're going to get a freshly prepared dish like I did with the chow mein and the chicken. Despite the large amount of people that place was cleaned by the people that were working. The pricings are fair for the location, food quality, and the proportions.“

“I've tried Dori Boba's drinks twice, and overall, it's been a decent experience. Taro Milk Tea: It was good, a bit sweet for my liking without modifications. The texture, typical of taro milk tea, was slightly grainy but not overwhelming. Boba: Unfortunately, the boba was inconsistent with varying textures--some too chewy, some hard. Seemed like a mix of undercooked, overcooked, and just right. Vietnamese Coffee: Not my favorite; less sweet and a bit bitter compared to what I expected from Vietnamese Coffee. Service has been good, and the cashier is friendly. They offer a 5% cash discount. Despite not being my top choice for boba or Vietnamese coffee, it's conveniently close to work, and I might give it a few more tries. Oh and the interior does have a room for a few people to sit, but I can see how the seating could be uncomfortable if it is really busy.“

“What. A. Burger! A Spicy Pad Kaprao Pork Burger with a very flavorful spice that was out of this world. Sticky rice for the bun took it over the top in a way that I've never thought to try. The fried egg was the finishing touch that will get me back in the ship.“

“I've been coming here since they first opened! They have the best customer service! Always so friendly so nice and very helpful with what to get! The wait time is no longer than 2-3 minutes literally so quick! They have so many options to choose from and I can say the best Boba fr!“

“Cute shop and interesting choices! I'd come back but because there was only one person working the cash register and making the boba teas, it took a long time just to get one drink. The person at the counter was very nice and helpful. I just felt bad for him because there were 20 other people in the tea spot trying to order or wait for their teas and people kept coming in to order, which delayed the drinks coming out even more. The cashier/barista was a bit overwhelmed. I'd probably go to a tea house that staffs properly next time. The orange jasmine green tea drink was good otherwise!“

“Decent tea and boba spot, but very limited on choice of items to buy. However, the tea, boba, and waffles are tasty and reasonably priced. It is located in a convenient spot right off the freeway and near other stores and restaurants. It is easy to get in and out with plenty of parking. Service is good. Will likely be returning.“

“Here almost every Friday during lunch and every time it has a very relaxed atmosphere, always greeted and served in a professional and polite manner. I always order the green tea so I can only speak for that quality and preference because I think Tap Ex tea lacks strength and flavor but that is just my opinion. The owner Rick is a great God fearing family man and that is a plus for me also.“

“Although it's a bit far from where I live, I definitely think Ichiban Sando (and its hidden business partner Hako Sushi Box), is worth the drive every now and again! - PARKING - There are some spaces in the lots left and right of the building - just beware of any specific spaces reserved for other businesses! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The inside isn't too big, maybe enough space to fit 20 people comfortably! They have large menus so it's easy to read everything. After ordering, it took around 10-15 minutes to get our food. Really nice staff here, super friendly and welcoming! - FOOD/DRINK - Vietnamese Coffee ($4.50): Super strong in coffee flavor, just the way it should be! Thai Tea ($4.00): Also a great depth of flavor from the Thai Tea - they also mentioned it wasn't made with real milk for those lactose intolerant! Shrimp Katsu Sando ($11.50): So crispy and so flavorful!!! The Katsu was well fried, and the sauces in the sandwich were delicious! Loved their milk bread too! Fruit Sando (8.50): The fruit is so fresh and the cream has just the perfect amount of sweetness! The milk bread again is so soft!! Sugoi Medium Box - You Pick ($70.00): You get to pick 4 special rolls, either 10pc nigiri or sashimi, and one side! So many amazing rolls to choose from - it was hard to decide! We got the Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, Hako Special Roll, and the Salmon Lava Roll. Everything was so fresh and delicious!!!! - OVERALL - An amazing spot that more people should try out! Come for their sandos and their sushi boxes!“

“I ordered the strawberry milk tea with boba and it was honestly so delicious! I drank it before I even left the parking lot. I also tried the sour cream and onion French fries, wow! They were awesome - imagine sour cream and onion chips but fries - heaven sent! The service was great - both gentleman I interacted with were so kind and helpful. They were playing bobs burgers so I would say the ambiance was a 10/10“

“We recently had our wedding and instead of an alcohol bar chose to have a boba bar. We initially shopped around for different stores who could accommodate larger catering orders, and we found SD Boba Tea. We got in touch with Brandy, who was able to arrange a tasting for us where we easily went through dozens of iterations of different flavors and sweetness levels to find exactly what we wanted. We ultimately chose 4 flavors: royal black milk tea, jasmine milk tea, plum oolong tea, and peach green tea. Once we had flavors decided, Brandy was super helpful with making recommendations for volume, timing, etc. She and Jaden showed up early on the day-of to set up (including some of their own decorations, which was awesome!) and were ready to go on time. They both served drinks to our guests (rather than self-serve, which gets messy), and our guests loved them so much that they drank us dry in no time. All the feedback we got was positive, and related to the tastiness of the drinks as well as the high quality service. One note would be that because the store is often really busy, sometimes email communication is a bit slow; this wasn't a problem for us since we had made plans very far in advance, and Brandy always replied after a quick follow up from our end. We'll be visiting again soon for casual boba, and would definitely recommend SD Boba Tea to anyone else planning a large event!“

“Amazing Boba place! Their drinks are quality here. We got the Matcha tea latte, and the strawberry lemonade with mango stars and they were both so delicious and refreshing! There is a small parking lot and parking is not an issue. We found parking right away. Customer Service was great! Definitely will be coming back here to enjoy and try the rest of their drink items. I definitely will get the strawberry lemonade again it was so yummy!“

“My friend told me about this spot. I ordered a Chamango. My friend got an Oreo Thai Tea. It was actually really good. I'd come back again and try another item from the $8 menu. The wall decor is so cute! The drinks are nice and refreshing. I didn't expect much, but it was really good. Come check it out! I'm posting Instagram reel with my full review.“

“I've been to this Kung Fu tea many times but got something different today. I tried the mango slush with 30% sweetness and mango jelly. It wasn't too sweet but the ice wasn't as blended as I wanted it to be. The drink also took awhile because there were several orders and only 1 bobarista making drinks. Although we had to wait a bit for drinks I would still come back for the convenience of living nearby and the variety of flavors offered. I think I'll go with a milk tea or fruited tea next time I visit.“

“First time trying this spot. My daughter wanted to try boba because the drinks always look interesting. The staff wasn't very helpful they were aloof and clearly don't understand what it means to have a customer service job....serve the customer make suggestions. Needless to say the staff making the drink was quick and efficient so that's a plus and my daughter liked it. Will we return? If we do, I hope the staff steps up their customer service.“

“I went here to get some bubble milk teaThe portions were large and the tea was really flavorful. The honey boba was chewy and sweet. I tried taro milk tea and got a jasmine milk tea to drink I'm the evening. Stored the jasmine in the fridge for a few hours and the boba held up against the tea and kept shape which was surprising.The service was really great and the person that made our drinks was polite and very efficient. The decor at this place was a little outdated, but there were a few places to sit. There is also outdoor seating in the shopping mall with pretty landscaping and shaded areas.Tapioca express was empty when we visited with no other customers. I guess people don't have bubble tea in the morning. ?‍♀️“

“This was our regular spot until we discovered other areas that had delicious drinks as well but for a better price. A few times the drinks have not been consistent so one day it tastes great and then the next time (depending on who is making it) it tastes completely different. It's a cute little spot and much needed in that shopping center.“

“There was no line when I got there around 5pm. I ordered the 2 mango coco drinks and they were delicious. I enjoyed the drinks and wanted more afterwards. I recommend this drink as a boba substitute. Parking is hard to find so that was my only struggle.“
