Ordered zero-sugar milk tea and it tastes like double sugar water with some milk. I am from Taiwan and this is nothing like the real bubble tea in Taiwan. The fried squid was tough to chew and covered with oil. Not recommended.

Giving this place a gracious 1 star, because I almost want to stop visiting based off the customer service.
If you ask any questions about their menu, or products, you’ll be met with a wonderful “gen-z” stare. The teenagers will stare at you and you’ll sit there and wait for them to get the information but it seems like it’s a really big deal for them to walk across the kitchen and check an ingredient related to an allergy.
Gen Z girl that works here is like, giving off major density. Find someone who isn’t pained to answer menu questions to run your counter.

My tea was great but it was a bad experience as a person who is hard of hearing. The employees were very soft spoken. I misheard a question and instead of repeating themselves to fix the miscommunication, I got a response that made me feel like they didn't want me in there anymore. I also didn't hear when they called my name (if they did? Again, I didn't hear) and allowed my drink to just sit on the counter until I looked up to see it waiting for me. I was the only one in the store at the time.
But on the plus side the Elegant Rose Tea is my new obsession, the perfect drink I needed for a lunch break on a super hot day!

Their food is great. The service is fast even though there's only 2 of them working with a lot of customers coming in..

The comparably more authentic bubble tea place in Portland, only Yifang and this place are close to the origin. Friendly services

I ordered without ice, but the staff gave me a drink with no sugar. When I told them, they gave me a new cup, but it was almost the same as the old one, with just a little ice. I suspect they poured the drink back into the new cup.

Slow service. Very slow. I am not sure why when the place wasn’t packed. There were only a handful of customers at 4pm. Cute little shop and the drinks were okay but not memorable. More than likely I will not go out of my way to come here again.

Taro is insane... chicken is top-notch. What a gem
Nice boba tea, but the popcorn chicken not fresh at all… As a Taiwanese I felt sad.

Barely room temperature, not hot at all. Only nondairy milk is soy milk. It’s 40 deg and raining half the year here, hot drinks need to be hot.

I like how easy it is to customize a drink!

They spent almost 30 minutes to give us our boba (it was only 1), and when we asked one of the girls that attends if they almost had our service she told us that she put it on the service bar but they never told us it was ours, it is good product but we will not come back for this reason. ☹️

yall forgot my grass jelly ??? i also asked for 50% sugar but 0% was printed on the label? not sure if it was just an error on my part or not. otherwise the menu is pretty good, the pearls are very soft and the amount given is also super generous.
