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

“Absolutely amazing service. My husband and I happened to come across from Staten Island where we are visiting his Grandmother (we are from Hampton, VA). Let me tell you this spot did not disappoint. Nestled in beautiful area, we’re welcoming faces, great customer service and the most amazing tasting Boba Tea! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again! We highly recommend you checking out Boba Time Tea!!!“

“I came in close to closing on a really rainy day, but Sharice (I’m so sorry if I misspelled it😭🙏🏼) was so sweet and took my order! Has great taste in music too! 🙂‍↕️ I had a really frustrating and tiring day, so thank you so much for making my day 🥹❤️“

“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!“

“awesome food, went in for bubble tea and came out with banh mi and BBQ sticks last time and now bubble waffles 🧇 sssooo goooddd!!!!“

“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.“

“BEST BUBBLE TEA EVER!!! I found this place randomly while walking around NY. now it's my favorite place to grab bubble tea and cheese curds. highly recommended.“

“The Fresh Fruits Coconut water is absolutely delicious 😋 & the dragon drink“

“Trying a new boba place is lowkey stressful for me because I’m loyal to my usual order bad. I always get taro milk tea with extra boba, and I’m always scared it’s gonna taste like coconut in a wig.

But this place actually ate.

The worker was super sweet, my drink came out crazy fast, and the place itself is really cute. They also have a kiosk, which is nice because sometimes I do not feel like interacting with humanity more than necessary.

The taro milk tea was so good. Super pretty purple, actually tasted like taro, and wasn’t overly sweet. They got my less ice request right too, which I appreciated.

And the boba was SO fresh. Like soft, chewy, actually enjoyable. Not those little hard rocks some places try to sneak into your drink.

Good prices, good service, cute vibe, and really good drinks. Definitely recommend!“

“They have amazing boba ,and matcha ,the also decorate seasonally with igloos or umbrellas in the outdoor seating area.🧋😭👀🙃💅🏻💅🏻also the staff was amazing..and they have more than just drinks..🍦🍧🍨also they have halal,vegan, kosher options..!!“

“Drink is delicious! Staff really helpful, love this place. My fav milk teA brand! Brown sugar boba milk tea is must try!!!!“

“Found this by accident! Love it good tea“

“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.“

“We love the Bubble tea it’s is amazing!“

“Excelente servicio. Excelente lugar. Excelente higiene. Excelente personal. Y mas que delicioso todo el menu. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Loved my tea and rice ball“

“Good spot for Bubble Tea, but depending on who’s working it can be hit or miss. I’ve been here multiple times and only had two bad experiences. One time the Tapioca balls we’re still frozen hard in the middle, and another time it tasted like maybe they forgot to add sugar.“

“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.“

“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“

“Drink is delicious! Staff really helpful, love this place. My fav milk teA brand! Brown sugar boba milk tea is must try!!!!“

“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!“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Love all their milk tea drinks!😋“

“This is a brand new, recently opened restaurant and wow did they deliver for first impressions. Food was absolutely incredible. The sushi was fresh and made quickly. I had the volcano roll and the Naruto rainbow row, it was beautiful and delicious. Very good quality cuts and tasted fresh Really impressed by their milk tea as well. We got the original and Taro milk tea and it was fantastic. Staff was also very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Would definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!“

“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...“

“Me and the love of my life came to this place one time and I had a bobba tea. Great customer service and the tea was really good. I love this place because we had such a fun time that day and one of our inside jokes comes from here. Definitely give it a try!
If you’re reading this I love you“

“Le Poke Bowl Chili avec supplément cacahuètes“

“I love the smoothies here. Stopped by during a quick mall trip and Danny was the absolute sweetest person! I can be pretty indecisive & he was super helpful with recommending flavor combos. The service wait time was quick too, which is perfect“

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

“A lot of variety in all their drinks!“

“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!“

“I had a Pineapple Slushy with Mango popping bubbles and it was great! Great vibe inside as well. Chalk artwork on walls 👌“

“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 ❤️“

“The selection of the menu items was wonderful; lots of innovation and dedication. Additionally, the establishment and the aesthetics of decorations was lovely and the mini claw machine was very fun to play. I am definitely going to recommend this place to friends and family and I will be coming back!“

“It’s a pretty quiet place to grab food or a drink. I got strawberry green tea. It was pretty good! Overall lots of different options for anyone. There’s many menu items to try! My drink was so good. You can self order at the machine as well. Give this place a try!“

“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 coming here many times and I truly love this place.

This is honestly the only spot in New Jersey where I’ve found food that tastes like home. They have so many authentic dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, which makes it even more special.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit feel comfortable and enjoyable. Portions are also very generous, especially for the main dishes.

My personal favorites are the rice cakes, beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, pan-fried buns, and grass jelly dessert — everything is consistently delicious. I absolutely love this place and will definitely keep coming back!“

“The best coffee place near NJIT and Rutgers.“

“Amazingly delicious food with beautiful presentation and top notch quality and quantity! Love the environment, attentive/knowledgable staff, wait is beyond worth the food! Second time having lunch there with Addy personally coming around to make sure all customers were satisfied!“

“I’ve been here once in person but have gotten Uber Eats from them multiple times. I always get the beef noodle soup. The broth is the best part and they give you a good amount of fresh vegetables. The beef slices are well seasoned. Noodles are okay but that’s because I get delivery and it is clumped together by the time I get my food, but it is still very good. The soy milk is traditional and I love it. Desserts are great too !“

“Very good hibachi and rolls. Consistent quality and good portions.“

“recomiendo nutrition 100% es la mejor! , buena atencion , el producto lo maximo, verita te ayuda con la dieta y todo lo que necesites para tener una mejor vida diaria! te sentiras como en familia! asi que no dudes en venir y probar todo el producto que realmente necesites! es lo mejor de lo mejor!“

“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 😭😭😭“

“I enjoyed the rolls that I ordered the last time I was in town, and made it a point to go back again this trip. I was not disappointed! This time, I ordered the spider roll, dragon roll and sakura roll. All three were fresh and flavorful. Prices are fair. I'll be back!“

“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!“
