This boba was absolutely worst I’ve ever had, water with no flavor. I order an oolong tea and my partner got a brown sugar milk tea and one for our little one. The only thing with a hint of flavor was the slushy for the kiddo. Everything else was terrible. I wanted to get a refund or exchange but we had already left and were in hurry for the night. Pretty upset. I still might come back for a refund this on an off day. Furthermore I just want to say the people were nice and it was fairly clean in there. I do not leave reviews often. Last time I left a review it was because I found a bandaid in my sandwich at Cali Baguette express @ 5125 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92115.

Delicious popcorn Chichén and 🙃 boba

I ordered pickup through DoorDash, mostly for food with two drinks. When I arrived, I was shocked to find that they had canceled all my food without notifying me—only the drinks remained. I took the time to drive all the way there, only to be told they shut off the fryers an hour before, which was when I placed my order. If that’s the case, why even allow food orders? A heads-up would have saved me the trip.

The drinks were mediocre at best—I ended up going to Daboba across the street instead. Now, I’m still waiting for my refund since DoorDash is holding the full amount. Overall, a complete waste of time.

Really enjoyed the boba here, great flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. The snacks were okay. The space itself is super nice and has a chill vibe, which made it a great spot to sit down and get some work done. Definitely a solid place to grab a drink and focus for a bit!

I'm far from a boba aficionado, but I would definitely give this place another visit. The staff was nice and offered recommendations and customer favorites. Next time I will make sure to order the "popping" balls because I didn't really like having to chew my drink 🙃

I always order the brown sugar milk tea and it never disappoints! I love that it’s not overly sweet the way most other boba places make theirs. Their snacks are good too. Yummy egg rolls, and orange chicken.

I love this place! Quick service, nice people, and their brown sugar milk tea is always DELICIOUS. Would reccomend.

We used to order from this place regularly and they had some of my favorite egg rolls ever. Unfortunately, today when we received our food it was very clear that the fry oil had not been changed in a long time and everything had a burnt taste. The wings were especially bad but the taste permeated throughout all the dishes. The drinks were good though, which is why I gave 2 stars instead of one.

They run out of boba and tell you that you have to wait 30 mins till they make new one except they don’t tell you that until after you pay for it

I go to this place often but this time my entire order was wrong. It usually takes long to get your food or drinks so we decided not to send it back. But typically this is my fav place and I would give them a five bit I think they were having an off day. I did get the strawberry tea instead of what I actually ordered but that was pretty good. I may order it again someday but I really wanted a taro milk tea.

I loved my spice chai thai. It gets me in the fall season. The young lady who took my order was very attentive.

Used to go here when they first opened. Food was great and service was quick. Today I ordered popcorn chicken with rice and wings. Waited almost 45 minutes to get the food and it was not busy at all.

Got home and tried the food. The popcorn chicken was not as tender as before and there was more breading than chicken. Worst of all, they served day old rice which was dehydrated, stuck together, brown in color, and pretty inedible.

Looks like service has really changed and gone downhill since I went here a couple months ago. I will not be coming back.

They used to be the best but over time not consistent I had ordered door dash last week Even called twice to make sure because the drink is not on there menu and this is not the first order that was gross or missing a drink I went in last night and told them -the very argumentative man at counter response was “well no one ever orders those drinks “ which is the spicy chai thia with coffee foam i ignore his rude unprofessional comment we order n sit down he goes outside then comes in oh is that your car we just left a car show I said no it’s my daughters so he for 20 min straight ask her non stop questions then goes to the other two employees in the back and starts talking crap about her car I can literally hear him so she catches on and we just sat n watch his so unprofessional behavior n of course my drink sucks they added milk it was chunky -I cannot believe we have been going there since day one and are in aw of his horrible performance and obvious jealousy of her beautiful show car makes me sad cause we really loved bobajoy!!!
