Hi 5 Tea recently opened. The place is cute, but the workers (and owner) lacks good customer service. I'm standing there for a while to give my order and they never looked up to acknowledge me. They don't seem to know the menu, just take your order and your money.
I ordered the Matcha Milk Tea with egg custard. Matcha milk tea had a grainy texture and very bitter taste. There wasn't that much to drink because the cup was FILLED with tiny cubes of ice. The egg custard was okay. I was done with my drink before the food came.

It feels like coming to a friend's home for dinner and spending...
