Ocean Oriental Market — Attraction in Panama City

This review is for the boba. We stopped by for boba and my family knows alot about it. We figured we will stop by to try and support a local business.

We arrived and ordered. After we ordered there was about 20 orders after us. So we were excited to see alot of customers and had high hopes. After 20+minutes of waiting I was confused to see everyone still standing around waiting. 30minutes went by and the drinks all came on a plate from the back room, I guess that's where it's made. Then everyone went to pick up their drinks and I didn't see mine. After close to 40minutea of waiting I asked for a refund and was told my order got mixed up because of all the orders they had to make and mine will be out soon. Well I waited almost 50minutes for my families 3 drinks.

The tiger sugar was so far away from what tiger sugar is supposed to be. My coffee mocha was like drinking water and the chai tea tasted almost like my drink. Weird that all 3 drinks looked alike and any boba drinker would know coffee mocha, tiger sugar and chai tea should look different. The boba was unevenly cooked or not thoroughly cooked at all. Very disappointed in this whole stop for boba. Everyone literally took a sip and stopped drinking.

The market was very cool though and I'm glad to see you can buy items like these...

We stopped in here for a little afternoon treat! I was headed for the bubble tea, so we went in for that. However, my spouse and child we're happy to see they had ice cream cones also. I got a mocha coffee bubble tea, with tapioca bubbles and it was good. My child got a rainbow ice cream cone and my spouse got a Jamocha almond fudge ice cream cone. Unfortunately, the Jamocha almond fudge ice cream had crystallized somewhat and was crunchy, which took away from the experience for my spousal unit. The counter person that was helping us with the bubble tea and ice cream cones was very polite and helpful. We would stop in here again.

This location is actually a market where you can buy ingredients for cooking with. The bubble tea and the ice cream are just nice to eat! They have about a half a dozen tables inside, which you can sit at to eat.

Parking is in front of the shop on the street or in a public parking lot that is directly across the street...

I came here first looking for bubble tea but I was extremely delighted when I saw all of the Filipino food products in the market. I just moved to the area so finding things that remind me of home will always bring joy to me. The market in the bag has many items from the Philippines and other assorted Asian countries so if you’re looking for that type of cuisine, definitely check this out. The front of the market has some bites And quite an expense a list of bubble tea. They even have a generous amount of ice cream to eat on those hot days. The staff here is also very helpful and friendly. I had the lumpia, the turron, and an avocado bubble tea. To be honest the bubble tea was Soso but everything else was delicious. So definitely try the food and maybe try a different flavor other than avocado. If you’re looking for something that takes you on a journey to Asia while on the beaches Florida, check...
