This place has gone downhill. The drinks are not good anymore. Watered down and flavorless. Came on a weeknight and it was not busy.

First time getting a passion fruit boba from OTR, Julie made it so well! Great vibes

They have similar prices to happy lemon, but a wider boba tea menu and more customization options, so I like them a bit more. Love the gatchapon vending machines, they are quite expensive but really remind me of Japan šš

The boba here is pretty mid but they are well-intentioned with their boba/food service.
I actually wanted to write this review to draw attention to the new gashapon machines. They cost just as much as the ones available at Uwajimaya in Seattle CID but it appears they are counterfeit. The slips that come with them are different than usual and the paint job isnāt as high-quality as Iāve seen from other gashapon toys. I also found the Demon Slayer ones on AliExpress so that leads me to think they bought them from there and are re-selling them.
Donāt waste your money on these gashapon machines!

Cute little spot. Iāll try the takoyaki next time since I love it. Pleased to see them sell local artist work (stickers and pins). Ordered coffee milk tea 25% sweet ?

Good atmosphere, okay service, claw machines but really bad boba! The milk teas are watery and bland and the smoothies are chunky and powdery. In my opinion the teas are very overpriced considering the amount of tea and quality of it. It was $6 for a small boba :/

I usually come here because itās the closest boba shop there is , I had ordered a tarro milk tea because thatās what i always order at other boba shops , itās milky and has the tarro taste. I get my drink and it has no flavor at all , color was literally grey when usually itās purple because of the flavoring of tarro. I asked the employee that this wasnāt the right drink and that it did not taste like tarro at all. He said āthe milk teas are not made sweetened that flavor is the tarro milk teaā I was confused because this is my go to drink and iāve ordered it multiple times at different boba places except this one . I said okay sorry for the confusion you think you could remake it for a sweetened tarro milk tea ? , he said the milk teas do not come sweated only the āsmoothiesā. Okay so I asked if he could remake it but this time as a smoothie since those are the ones that actually come āsweetenedā and with āflavorā he said he would have to charge me for an extra drink. So basically i paid for the tarro milk tea that I never drank and he wanted me to pay for the ātarro smoothieā I left disappointed, I was in a rush as well. As well i had came here because my aunt wanted boba and again this was the closest boba shop around . They have a bell on the door so when you walk in it dings right. So why did me and my aunt literally wait 13 minutes waiting for someone to check in on us and take our order. Mind you there was NO ONE in the shop it was around 7:15 and we probably thought they were busy making online orders but no sounds were being made , We tired coughing loudly on purpose so they could hear someone was in the shop waiting to order. But not even that worked , eventually they came out and took our order.

Going down the drain. Used to be good. Now a boba tea for a small size is 6.50? A normal size that used to be 5.50 would cost 7.60$ after tax. No thanks. I get there's inflation, but this is just plain robbery at the excuse of inflation.The only reason this is 5 star review on Google was due to the 5 stars from 6 or 5 years ago. Google needs to update their stars so that it shows most recent 12-24 months to reflect the actual current reviews.. which one can see that it's going down the drain

I zoned in and got the Honeydew smoothie (it was limited edition, also Buy 1 Get 1 Half off!) - Super impressed by how the smoothie tasted without any added sugar (thank you milk sugars!), and would order again on a super hot day (I was coming from a hike near Issaquah and this was a spot to hit on the way back home!)
I've only got my order to-go, but I had a good impression of the interior and decor of the location! Renton people, if you need a spot to chill at, or just want to get a good boba smoothie, this is a fun spot to hit.

We're regulars. Cool neighborhood spot with great service, slush, smoothies, and teas!Update: I hope they figure out the staffing. It's taking a long time and the staff is getting pestered which kinda kills the vibe. One other thing, their takoyaki needs work. Check out Katsu Burger for how they do their takoyaki! Still a good spot.
