My daughter loves the Lychee Butterfly drink and the Korean Cheese Corn Dog. The drinks are super tasty and the corn dog is crispy and cheesy just the way she likes it. The owners are always so nice and full of joy. We feel really welcome every time we go. Totally recommend this place.

I've only had drinks here so can only give feedback on drinks made. They are good and not too sweet and not too bland. I get what I expect!

We got their new Phoenix oolong milk tea with boba which has a very distinct taste. THEY WERE SO GOOD!!! The tea flavor was strong and fresh and the milk and tea ratio was perfect! To make it even more top notch, their bobas are so fresh. Whoever is making these boba tea must care about the quality diligently; Customer service is very prompt and friendly. But honestly, it was perfect and we loved it!. Thank you for these awesome teas!!
10/10 would recommend!

Finally, a great boba shop in the Stanton area. We stumbled on this little gem boba shop while shopping at Daiso in the same business plaza. We ordered their new Rising Phoenix Oolong milktea with boba based on the owner’s recommendation. It was so good and I’m still thinking about it writing this review. The milktea had strong tea flavor and the boba was chewy. Very distinctive that I don’t think any other boba shop in the area has. It’s a must try if you’re into tea.

Went here yesterday to try their famous Rising Phoenix milk tea. Wow, it was actually really good! The tea tasted premium quality and with cream it was just perfect. I liked the tea so much that got another drink (just plain tea with lychee jelly) to go to drink the next day. My kids loved their Oreo smoothie and Brown boba milk drinks.

The place is new and clean. They have this decorated area to take pictures. Very cozy and relaxing environment. Service was friendly. The girl there helped us choose and adjust the drinks to our tasting.

This business used to be superb, but since the new owners, things, more specifically, how things run behind the scenes, have unfortunately gone down hill. Not only do they scold you for washing dishes and leaving soap in the sink, not food residue, soap, but they refuse to wash the dishes they use WITH soap and water. I, and many other employee's have witnessed this first-hand. Nina, Van, and Natalie are the ones who do this, but when I have voiced that that is more unsanitary to not wash dishes with soap than just leaving soap in the sink, I was just considered argumentative. They quite literally just rinse the blenders, shakers, and the spoons used to mix and stir, they're left in containers of mucky water with remains of past made drinks. My ex-coworkers have even expressed to me that they don't like that things are done this way on their behalf because they themselves feel bits of syrup and fruit/cookie residue. I know most employee's WASH the dishes considering that's what you're supposed to do in every job ever, not just rinse, but the owners? ever since they came in the picture, washing dishes has been an issue. I've told them that if the customers knew about this information, they most likely wouldn't come in through those doors. But Natalie's response, whos is the main owner, mind you, was simply "tell them! don't threaten me and my business! " .....when it wasn't that at all, just expressing I don't think it's sanitary and I'm sure customers would think the same. I for sure wouldn't get drinks here unless you know you're making it yourself and your dish is properly washed.
They also rarely pay their employees on time, we have literally shown up on payday and have them write up the check on the spot despite them saying that it's ready, which has taken up to 30 minutes. It's just inconsiderate of other people's time and bills. Work schedules are done completely last minute, too, at times, to where you don't know if you work until the day of.
They also feel the need to raise their voice at their employee's and insinuating that they're stupid by saying things like "you don't think!" amongst other rude things. This was Nina, the owner's (Natalie) sister that said this to me. Why? I will never know because while I asked why she felt like it was okay to say that to people, all she did was threaten to fire me, despite her just being an employee and not an owner.
It's really a shame because I really enjoyed working here before they came and bought the place, and i enjoyed seeing all of the regulars, I REALLY wanted to see the new business thrive. It's a cute place and had potential. But not when things are running like that and the owner and their sibling don't know how to act professionally with their employees and can't treat them with kindness. Van, though, has always always been incredibly nice to me. She has never raised her voice at me for any mistakes I could've possibly done. She was always patient, warm and kind when she speaks to people and always has a smile on her face.
I really didn't want to leave this review but I recently actually got fired, and while they're saying it's due to the new changes, I 100% know it was mostly because of this. I normally wouldn't care too much, it is what it is but this just feels weird and unfair.
Of course I'm not saying don't come and spend your money here, at the end of the day, the choice is yours, but there's just a lot to consider before coming here.
P.S. if you have came here and asked for non dairy creamer, you were 100% given creamer with dairy in it, as Natalie doesn't know that our creamer has dairy.

Dietary restrictions: they have served people dairy multiple times despite them saying it's non dairy.

Staff was great. Off the beaten path for me, but I prefer local businesses instead of National chains. Coffee is very good.
