Update: Lowering my previous rating because I had a bad experience at my latest visit. It took 30 minutes for a banh mi and drink even though it was empty. The drink was ready in less than 5 minutes; I don’t know why the banh mi took so long. They gave an update after 15 minutes saying it would only take another 3 minutes, but it ended up taking another 15 minutes. Also, right before my banh mi was ready, I watched one of the workers give my drink to someone picking up an order. I thought maybe it wasn’t my drink after all, but it turned out that it was, so they had to remake it. As a result, the drink that I had liked a lot the first time I tried it ended up tasting pretty bad this time because it had been rushed.
Previous Review: You wouldn’t expect it from the storefront, but the inside is huge. They have games as well, so this is a good hangout spot for groups, as all boba shops should be. I like that there is a self-ordering kiosk.
- Caramelized Pork and Eggs Sticky Rice ($8.50): I rarely buy Vietnamese food because my mom is a fantastic (Vietnamese) cook, but I was curious to taste another recipe for this staple dish. I’ll start by saying it’s a great price for the portion size, but the taste fell short. I wouldn’t qualify this as sticky rice—it was just very mushy rice; not sticky at all. The pork belly was also dry and bland. Maybe it was an off batch, but I wouldn’t get this again. - Medium Peach Milk Tea with Crunch ($5.75): This is bumping my rating up because I thought the flavor was very good. The only issue is that the name is misleading—there were no toppings, so nothing was crunchy about this drink.

This is a really cool hangout spot with plenty of seating and board games. There's many flavors for drinks and the food is really affordable. There's a self-order kiosk for simple ordering with the many available options. I will want to try the food next time.

Drinks are good, plenty of spaces to sit and do work, offer plenty of board games for groups, and I especially love their vietnamese snacks. Only place in quincy that offers authentic vietnamese snacks. If you in the area next time, drop by and give them some love.
I just discovered my new favorite boba shop in Quincy Center, MA and it's only a 30-minute drive from Boston! Shi Shi Boba is an absolute gem. Not only do they offer a wide variety of delicious drinks, but they also have a pool table and board games to keep you entertained while you wait. Plus, you can even book a private room for your party or gathering.
The staff was incredibly hospitable and introduced me to Vietnamese street-style food and drinks, which were absolutely delicious. Their coffee is especially noteworthy - it's sure to give you a boost! I loved everything about Shi Shi Boba and will definitely be bringing my friends here soon. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Drinks aren't bad at all, and food is OK but dry noodles should just be labeled as ramen since that's what they used. Also would be nice if they were gloves to make food, it's about sanitary and hygiene.

Food is good, price is reasonable, banh mi heo quay is good. But time waiting is super long, like 20 mins or more for simple order, while there are only several people waiting.
We had a good time together with friends in this establishment. The prices of food and drinks are affordable. The business owner is dedicated and friendly. I'll come back if I have time.

I stopped in for the first time today after walking by daily for many months, I was greeted at the counter with a friendly smile, take your time she said and did her best to tell me about some of the many choices, I decided on the Vietnamese cold cut sub and a cup of Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, the coffee was not really my "cup of tea", and the cup was only filled 3/4, at about 9 bucks I probably won't do that again, the sub on the other hand costing about the same as the coffee was filled with shredded veggies, a few pieces of cold cuts I really could not identify and a very tasty sauce, a little sweet and a little spicy, the roll was so perfectly crusty I may have paid for just an empty roll, it was that good, I stayed in the front with many tables, but I could see another room I think with pool tables and other games, I'm glad I stopped in, next Time I'm going for the chicken feet , the salt coffee also is tempting
Food is very good - highly recommend Grilled salty spicy bread :)

Amazing boba tea and a mini arcade in shop. The arcade tokens were fairly cheap and although one of the machines was broken, it was still a fun drop in for me and a friend.
