R&B TEA PLUS FORT WORTH — Restaurant in Fort Worth

Oh boy, where do I even begin with this culinary catastrophe? I ventured out, hoping for a little bit of spicy, cheesy comfort and a refreshing, albeit trendy, drink. What I encountered was... well, let's just say my taste buds are still in therapy. First, the "Hot Cheeto Corn Dog." The very description conjured images of a perfectly crisp corn dog, lovingly enrobed in a vibrant, fiery Cheeto dust. The reality was a soggy, pale imitation. The corn batter, far from being golden and crunchy, was limp and greasy, clinging to a lukewarm, suspiciously gray hot dog. And the Hot Cheeto "dust"? It tasted less like the beloved cheesy spice and more like someone had swept up the crumbs from the bottom of a stale bag and haphazardly sprinkled them on. The texture was a bizarre combination of mushy batter and gritty, flavorless powder. Each bite was a profound disappointment, a betrayal of everything a corn dog and a Hot Cheeto stand for. Then came the "Unsettling Hot Boba Tea." Now, I'm no stranger to adventurous flavor combinations, but this concoction crossed a line. The initial aroma was vaguely floral, but with an undercurrent of something... medicinal? The tea itself was lukewarm and murky, its sweetness cloying and artificial. And the boba pearls? Oh, the boba pearls. They were strangely firm, almost rubbery, and possessed a disconcerting lack of flavor. But the truly unsettling part was the heat. Not a pleasant warmth, mind you, but a lingering, almost metallic spiciness that seemed entirely out of place in a milky, sweet tea. It was a bizarre sensory experience, like my mouth was simultaneously confused and slightly offended. The combination of these two culinary abominations was an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The sad, soggy corn dog and the bafflingly spicy, lukewarm boba tea created a symphony of unpleasant textures and conflicting flavors that left me questioning all my life choices. Save yourself the anguish and steer clear of this terrifying twosome. Your taste buds...

I really wanted to like this place, and support local over going to a chain.. but this was not the case. I ordered through the kiosk, and had the choice to sub the type of tea when ordering a Wintermelon Green Milk Tea. I subbed this with oolong and added sea cream & boba. There wasn’t an option to adjust the sweetness level so I left it as is.

Upon receiving it, the consistency looked like oolong tea topped with sea cream. I brought this up to the barista, and they told me it was because of the “different tea flavor” I substituted. I’ve had milk tea countless of times with black, green, and oolong before, so this was not the case. They then had to bring this up to what looked like their manager, and they agreed to remake it for me. Unfortunately, I waited until I got home to try it, and it was AWFUL. It tasted like they simply remade my drink by mixing milk and oolong tea together. Normally, I would just tough it out and finish the drink, but I just had to toss it because it was so bland. It may have been better off if they just never remade it, and drank the oolong alone.

The Strawberry Matcha Latte was okay, but tossed it because it still tasted flavorless as well. It was as if we needed to tell them to add some level of sweetness to our orders, which at most boba tea shops it is assumed you subtract that level - which is the complete opposite.

Leaving 2-stars for their attempt to make it right after my complaint, but I absolutely won’t be back for any of their drinks. My friends were also dissatisfied with their drinks (taro milk tea and classic milk tea).

Hopefully the food is...

⭐ 1/5 – Disappointing Experience

I was really looking forward to trying this Korean corn dog spot, but unfortunately, my visit was a major letdown.

⏳ Long Wait Time: Despite not being overly busy with literally 2 other people in the restaurant, the wait for food was excessive. It took far too long for a simple order to come out, which set a frustrating tone for the visit.

🥴 Undercooked Food: When the food finally arrived, it was undercooked. I bit into what was essentially raw dough. Literally had to throw it away after I realized, such a waste of money.

🧤 Unsanitary Practices: What concerned me most was the hygiene. The workers preparing the food weren’t wearing gloves, and their overall handling of ingredients didn’t seem clean or professional.

🙅‍♂️ Poor Customer Service: There was no greeting or acknowledgment when I walked in. The staff seemed disengaged and uninterested in providing a welcoming experience.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place unless they make serious improvements in food quality, hygiene, and...
