“I’ve been coming to Akihi since I was in high school and it’s still one of my favorite spots. The Taro Potted Smoothie has been my go-to order ever since — honestly a staple for me at this point. The drinks are always consistently good, the atmosphere is nice, and it’s one of those places that always feels nostalgic to come back to. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a solid smoothie spot!“

“Best friend and I saw this place on TikTok and really enjoyed our experience. We ordered our drinks and food on the kiosk and there was not a long wait time. We got an Iced Thai Milk tea with brown sugar boba and Taro milk tea with crystal boba. We also both got a croffle with banana, whipped cream and Nutella. Everything was so delicious. The atmosphere was really cute. Great cafe for both kids and adults.“

“Reviewed mainly for Bubble Tea :
- Flavor: Fair flavors available. I got both the Panda Milk tea and the Oolong MIlk Tea on separate occasions. The tea flavors are moderately strong and offer a nice smooth texture instead of a diluted tea. Could do with stronger tea but then would come into conflict with the toppings.
- Boba: Average amount of Boba with a decent elastic but slightly stiff chew. The boba is a consistent texture throughout. Important note is that the standard milk tea comes with another free topping in addition to the boba
- Price: Cheaper (6$) than what I consider the average price (7-8$, 2026).
- Overall - While I wouldn't peg it as the best bubble tea, it is rather convenient. I would recommend if you are more interested in experimenting with toppings you might like as it would be served with a decent milk tea base as the background.

- Extra - The location is a kiosk within the mall and not a dedicated store. Plenty of room and seating nearby for hangouts.“

“I recently visited real fruit and had an incredible experience! Not only do they offer a fantastic variety of bubble teas, but their real fruit shakes are out of this world. Each shake is made with fresh, high-quality fruit, which really sets them apart from other places.

A special shout-out to Tito, who made our visit even more enjoyable. Tito was incredibly nice and helpful, His friendly demeanor and excellent customer service truly made our day.

If you're looking for a place with delicious drinks and outstanding service, look no further than real fruit. Highly recommend!
Ooh let Tito help you he has a great personality.
Thank you Tito“

“Reviewed mainly for Bubble Tea :
- Flavor: Fair selection available. I get Chai Milk Tea. The taste of the milk tea is unmistakably tea and a great tea at that. Can actually taste the spice of the chai and other flavors.
- Boba: Generous amount of Boba with an ideal elasticity. Neither required heavy chewing nor falls apart easily.
- Price: A surprisingly cheap bubble tea (6$, 2025) compared to what I consider the average price (7-8$)
- Overall - An exemplary of what local bubble tea places should be everywhere. It's worth going out of the way to visit.

- Extra - Ironically the bubble tea isn't the only item served. Milkshakes and ice cream available too. The seating area is quaint for eating their desserts but doesn't seem like a place for extended hangouts.“

“Had the Coconut milk tea with mango boba and it was delicious. Love the atmosphere and the young lady who helped us was great, giving us some recommendations. Will definitely be back.“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“Best dumplings and strawberry lemonade tea ever!!<3. I definitely recommend this place. 谢谢😌“

“Cute shop! Good tea! We went in for Taro but they were out. The server recommended a lovely creme brûlée milk tea that was out of this world delicious and might be a new favorite she even recommended less sugar because it was already sweet and honestly she made the experience so great. We loved our drink and her recommendation. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Bubble teas here are the best. Bubbles are always fresh. The owner(s) are super kind. They made sure customers are happy with the amount of bubbles. Every weekend while we are in town, we would ask my son to drive 30 minutes (one way)
here for the bubbles teas. Definitely worth the drive! We love bubbles teas here! Best wishes to the owner(s). :)“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“We were first timer’s today… the girl that help us was so sweet and kind! The service was excellent! My son loved the brown sugar milk with bubbles!“

“Delicious and fresh. We love the Udon and Ramen soup with super yummy pork. The chicken teriyaki is also amazing and nice portion for the price. The owner is lovely.“

“10/10 service , the lady at the register always remembers my order & she’s extremely welcoming , I always get the vermicelli salad with the beef short rib & the fish sauce is sweet and savory , if I could I’d eat hear all the time ! As you can see super satisfied with my meal and I even got extra !“

“Extremely clean environment and very friendly n helpful staff... I loved the choices of protein and salad mixes... however- although I ordered 3 proteins, the salmon, shrimp n Ahi tuna; I wasn’t crazy about the Ahi tuna. It had no taste and the texture was spongy- my choice of the sesame dressing left the salad very wet and soggy by the time I got it home! I suggest eating there or ask for the dressing on the side!!! Bubble Tea’s & ice cream flavors were AWSOME!!! I highly recommend...“

“Recently tried this place for the first time and it exceeded my expectations! It was my first time trying a Poke bowl and now I'm hooked. I'm always excited to see new places pop up that offer vegetarian options. I got the fried Tofu as my protein option and it was perfectly cooked. All of the ingredients were super fresh and the toppings and sauces were excellent. Love the bubble tea, too!“

“I’m glad my daughter found this place, now I’m addicted to bubble drinks!! And the bubble waffle is awesome!!!!“

“My family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“

“A lot of variety in all their drinks!“

“Just ordered yesterday for Mother's Day. The food was amazing. First time having this food, thank you so much. Food was so delicious. I love this place ❤️“

“I have been in two locations so far from this bubble tea place, in my experience, it’s been amazing the lady doing the mango, she was amazing at service customer. She helped us out very well! Leydi thank you for your amazing help! I’m coming back again!!“

“I’ve been there multiple times since the grand re-opening. The guys are very friendly and the crepes are delicious. Bacon, ham & cheese crepe with coffee is a must in my morning routine!“

“Vegan chicken bowl is delicious 😋“

“specialty shakes. the fruit and milk teas are pretty good“

“The vibe here is wonderful, but the standout was definitely the trainee. I didn't get his name, but his infectious energy and positive attitude will absolutely make your day! - sincerely the customer that dropped her ube shake 😭😭😭“

“We went to check out Yestoday dessert bar for the very first time today. Being true bubble tea fanatics, we were very excited to have found this place at Clark commons plaza! As we entered the store we were greeted by a friendly hello and the strong smell of freshly made tapioca pearls. The store was nicely decorated with lunar new year lanterns, little Asian figurines, and cute lego sets.

They had a huge menu including many boba tea flavors, gelato, bubble waffle, boba floats, and other delicious looking dessert options.

We ordered a taro bubble tea and a peach bubble tea, and they were both simply delicious!

We can’t wait to go back to try other items on their menu!“
