“Wow! This is first-class boba tea. Stopped by on a rainy day craving for something warm, I asked for a taro milk tea warm. It really hit the spot! I think the baristas can make most of the drinks warm even if not indicated on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the tapioca pearl... it had the perfect chewiness that you just want to keep chewing on it, not just two or three bites, but more like 10-15 bites. And the pearls are not tough at all... they just resist falling apart very well. What a wonderful place to overcome cold and rainy weather... Next time I will save room to try the fried chicken wings.“

“Visited Bamboo Restaurant on a quiet Tuesday afternoon ,not crowded, which gave the place a calm, almost unhurried atmosphere. Service was quick, and the food arrived without delay.
I ordered the #14 pho large. The broth leaned toward ginger and lime, with a light oil finish and a subtle hint of cinnamon, a nod to the traditional spice base. However, it lacked the depth and cohesion you’d expect from a properly slow-simmered pho.
Typically, spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon should come together in a balanced, layered way , here, they felt slightly disconnected.
The noodles were thin and cooked well, though fairly neutral in flavor. The meats were a strong point , well-seasoned and prepared correctly, adding needed substance to the bowl.
I also tried the chili oil (saté), and this is where things dropped a bit. It had a heavier, more generic profile — lacking the aromatic depth and freshness you’d expect from a well-crafted blend.
It felt closer to a pre-made, store-bought oil rather than something developed in-house, which took away from the overall experience.
The atmosphere was extremely quiet no music, minimal interaction which made the space feel slightly awkward rather than inviting. Small details were also missing, like basic table spices or salt.
That said, there’s a certain honesty to this place. It has a simple, home-style feel: casual, calm, and straightforward.
At around $20 per person, it sits in a range where a bit more refinement in both flavor and experience would elevate it significantly.
A decent spot if you’re looking for something quiet and uncomplicated — but not quite there if you’re after a deeply traditional pho experience.“

“This one surprised me.
I was fully questioning the brothless ramen concept at first because… huh? But it works.
You order everything from your phone and they bring it to your table, which honestly is great if you don’t feel like interacting much. There are laminated instructions showing how to mix in the vinegar and chili oil, which actually makes a big difference.
Once everything comes together, it’s rich, flavorful, and super satisfying.
I fully slurped my heart out. I’m still thinking about that ramen to this day.“

“The line was out the door this weekend for their grand opening. We ordered a Thai iced tea, ube latte, crème brûlée latte, and a classic milk tea. All were great with no disappointments. The owner was very friendly, and the space inside looks very updated with lots of live greenery. We work close by so we’re grateful to have a new hotspot to go to for our boba cravings!“

“So I actually pay this shop’s rent with the amount of money I spend here. I can’t post every picture I have of my drinks from here because I’ll look insane and like my diet only consists of colorful drinks. It’s so affordable, and I have a stamp card that would rival all of your stamp cards with the amount of stamps I get. I don’t like the inside interior and the seats are so uncomfortable, but I take my drinks to go so I don’t care! I look past the ugly quote on the wall and look only at the friendly staff and my delicious drink.“

“Haven’t been to this store for a while, and this time I came back and noticed so many new additions, like the new Fragrant Oolong Mango Coconut Frosty, Cosmic Apple Fragrant Oolong, and hot & cozy drinks. The Pragmata event also looks so cool!
I’ll definitely come back to try different flavors. The boba market is so competitive now, so it’s great to see it keep developing, expanding, and bringing in new ideas.“
“Super easy to get street parking. 2 big screens to order cashless, and friendly. Cute place to hang out with a drink and relax. Great mango smoothie and classic milk tea. Fast service too.
Some signage like seasonal taro drinks didn’t match available drinks you could actually order.“

“Found wow teriyaki on TikTok. They live up to their name. I stopped by on good time, so i did not wait for long prep time. According to the recent reviews, when they get slammed wait time is long. I guess I was lucky. Only waited 5 minutes for chicken teriyaki, massive portion with char flavor , good amount of sauce on chicken. Overall I had a great experience at wow. Keep up the good work. I will spread the words to all of my fam and friends.“

“Good. The boba tastes fresh and the drinks are priced about average for the area. Solid portion sizes. Lots of options and the signs around the store walk you through them so you know what you’re getting into when you order, which is appreciated. They sell stickers and merchandise as well, though priced a little high.“
“I had a great experience at this Boba shop. The employees are really friendly, kind, and provide great service. They make the drinks quickly while still keeping the quality really good. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and has a relaxing vibe. There are also many beautiful spots where you can take pictures and enjoy the place. Overall, it’s a great Boba shop with amazing service, a good environment, and I would definitely recommend it !“

“They have some food items that you don’t usually see at other boba shops. Their popcorn chicken is honestly the best in town. They also have fried rice balls, which I’ve never seen at any other place in Seattle. Everything we tried both food and drinks was amazing!!! I’d especially like the mango yogurt and matcha. Their matcha was really good even better than most matcha places I’ve tried. I forgot to take pictures, but the drinks looked really beautiful too. This place has already become part of my weekly routine.“
“A great place to get boba, matcha, and tea! Super friendly service, clean and big spot with lots of seating. They also have delicious Taiwanese food for a great price. The teas were solid, strong tea taste that is perfectly sweet. I highly recommend and would come back!“

“Solid work or study spot. The atmosphere is a little dingy, but I don't need much to be productive. There are several outlets (consider bringing a long cord, some are a little far from the table).
Also they forgot about my drink and I had to inquire about it, but I didn't mind much.“

“Personally this is my favorite boba place in U-District, the drinks are unique and actually taste high quality especially compared to other choices nearby. The guy I always see working there is super cool and friendly, would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try boba that is different from the norm, haven't tried anything on the menu that I don't like. Try the blue lagoon.“

“I recently went to Ding Tea and was so impressed. The team was so welcoming and they were so patient while I took my time to choose what I wanted from their wide variety of drinks. I tried the Rose Milk Tea with Boba and it was 10/10! My boyfriend got the Monster Bubble Tea which was also DELICIOUS! I also really love the vibe of the shop, it is so clean and classy. If you’re a true bubble tea lover, you need to check this spot out.“

Whether you visit for the flavorful drinks or the keepsake, your tastebuds will thank you.“

“Their new premium jasmine milk tea is fantastic! Recommend getting without boba to ensure the right sweetness.
I initially got it with boba and the staff was very helpful in adjusting my drink and they offered to remake the whole drink!“

“Called the cafe to look for a last minute birthday cake - the server was very helpful and told us what they had. We asked for the taro cake and they wrapped it up nicely and mentioned these are made fresh by hand daily. They are frozen if stored overnight but just need to thaw before serving. Turned out to be a delicious taro millcrepe cake that everyone loved! It was light and not overly sweet. Highly recommend and will go back to try other flavors!
They also sell by the slice -“

“Not sure how this place doesn't have more reviews, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Got a honey black milk tea with boba and lychee jelly. Was super surprised that they do not add on extra for boba and other toppings. Usually I'm looking at $8-9 for mid-tier boba around seattle. This place? It's $6.50 freaking dollars for great milk teas. What a steal. Will definitely be back. Also has a pretty nice outdoorsy vibe to do work, so great for if you're remote/teleworking.“

“I’ve visited plenty of times already, and I really like how generous they are with their toppings and fresh ingredients. Every sip is packed with real fruit, which makes the drinks taste super natural and refreshing. I’m especially fond of their mango based drinks and grape flavored ones. I’ve tried quite a few different menu options over time, and none of them have disappointed me so far all the flavors are consistently good. The pricing is pretty reasonable too, it feels fair for the quality you get.The only downside is the parking situation around here. It can be really tricky to find a spot most of the time, which is a bit inconvenient. Other than that, it’s become one of my regular go to places whenever I’m craving fruit tea.“

“2026: I'm pretty sure they don't sell bubble waffles anymore. If they do, it's few and far between. The last one I had from here was still delicious as ever. It's a shame, really.
They recently added some more drinks to their menu. I tried the Premium Phoenix Oolong Milk Team and it was pretty rich and flavorful. Tasted like a roasted milk tea. My absolute favorite is still their 'Tradutional Milk Tea'.
2023: Excellent bubble waffles and bubble tea. Recommend the traditional tea over the original tea if you want a stronger flavor.
I'm told they've been sold out of the traditional tea for two weeks! Tells you how popular the traditional tea is. :)
The store is understaffed sometimes but they do a great job despite the pressure.
Recommend parking in the lots as temporary parking out front is hard to find.“

“Happy Lemon…I love you!
First, don’t live in PNW any longer. I can’t get a boba to save my desiccated, shriveled up, dry taste buds in Phoenix. So happy to pop in for my Lemon jasmin green tea with Lychee. 30% sugar. Light ice. I’ve missed you!
So sorry super kind boba genius, I was too caught up in the moment to look away from my boba tunnel vision to catch your name. You were kind and friendly you deserve better than that. Oh and the place look so clean and perfect.
I love my drink. I may even have to share with my family tomorrow. What? No they have to get their own. Love them and all…but not enough to share!
Thank you so much for perfect order, super clean store, friendly team member who even explains what the heck salt cheese is (uh forgot already…but maybe cream cheese, whipped cream, something something and a pinch of pink salt), and brightening another PNW day with an awesome drink!“

“I usually came in for Poke, but finally decided to try out this boba place. Doanh was so friendly and she recommended White Peach Oolong for me since I'm a big fan of Oolong. It's nice to try out something new and unique that other boba places don't have.“
“My friends and I came here and had a good time.
Difficult parking was a small minus point.
Drinks not too sweet but ice cream is too sweet for me (I'm not a sweet-tooth)
In conclusion, these were fantastic drink :)“

“I've tried a few different drinks here, and they've all been great. Some are a little sweet, so be mindful of that when you order.
There's a lot of customization options and plenty of combinations to try.
The bubble waffles are a fun little treat. You can pull them apart, and they even have dip options.
Sometimes, they are a little busy and don't have enough people to keep up. When they're in a rush, the bubble waffles don't come out as crispy, so they're best ordered when it's quiet.“
