Vivi Bubble Tea — Restaurant in Frisco

The setting is a very clean and well maintained restaurant. There is plenty of space to walk around and sit. They have an automatic door that is temporarily blocked off, which you’re prompted to enter through the side door. It is not a wheelchair accessible entrance.

Upon entering the establishment we were not greeted or acknowledged. While waiting to place an order, patiently waiting in front of the counter, the cashier did not acknowledge us and allowed a dasher to cut inline. She then promptly followed the dasher outside, without speaking to us. The other woman behind the counter did address us and asked if we were ready to order, but she was not the one to take our order. The cashier did return and did not acknowledge that we had been waiting or allowed someone to cut in front, doordasher or not.

I ordered a medium Oreo Crème Brûlée and a large Strawberry Crème float. The cashier informed me there was not a medium size for the strawberry creme float and I will need to order a large, and I added strawberry popping boba. Boba is not included in the specialty drinks and cost extra. When I tried to confirm what was in the drinks, there was not much information provided besides choosing the choice of milk/milk tea or adding toppings. The two drinks cost around $14 + tax.

I personally do enjoy a good strawberry drink, but the strawberry creme float was not enjoyable. It may be an acquired taste, but it was not for me. The foam that was added tasted heavily salted and buttery, and mixed with the warmness of the strawberry juice with little ice, it was an unpleasant combination. It tasted of old fruit juice with buttery salt. Even trying to swirl the drink intensified the odd combination and I could not take more than 3 sips….just to ensure if the flavors would grow on me. They did not. And sadly I was prompted to buy a large, for a drink that sounded good….with popping bobas. It ended up immediately going in the trash.

Saving grace was the Oreo Creme Brûlée. It wasn’t the best thing I ever tasted, but it was more enjoyable than the strawberry creme float. It had crushed Oreos with milk tea, again it was served slightly on the warmer side with little ice. It was simply a buttery milk and crushed cookie drink.

Would I feel prompted to try this place again: for the price no, for the quality of customer service provided no. This place does offer a variety of food and drink selections, and that maybe a hit or miss. It’s worth a try, but there are other quality boba shops around and restaurants that serve similar hot foods, literally...

Popcorn Chicken is definitely the best in town!!!!!! Love their food and drinks so much! My family loves vivi's popcorn chicken bento box and crispy chicken bento box!

Popcorn chicken is the best for sure!! MUST TRY IT! The crispy chicken is super juicy and favorable which surprised me! Every time when I want to have some sweet favors, then I will order the BBQ chicken bento box! If you love pork chops, then Taiwanese and Katsu pork chop will be the best choice for you! My mom falls love in their BBQ sausage, which is also the Must Try one.

For the drink, I love the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, and also the Oreo Creme Brulee! They are super super Good!!! There are lots opinions of fruits too. My mom loves the kumquat Jelly Tea, which is super fresh and not sweet! Their boba is so chewy and good! You can adjust the sugar levels and ice levels for sure.

They also have the new looking of drinks. How cute they are:-D Their boba is super chewy and tasty. Vivi’s employees are always super friendly and helpful. They are so nice! The environment is awesome. My family’s favorite restaurant in town. 100/100...

Glad to have a nice little boba drink chain store open up in Frisco. We tried the following today:

[Taiwanese bento and snacks] Pork chop rice Chicken cutlet rice Basil chicken popcorn (they are more like chicken nugget sizes) - almost perfect, as close to the authentic you could get here in US. All popcorns come with basil so basil means you get extra basil, but I felt there was just about the right amount, could always have more basil!

All are fried to perfection and the meat was very juicy and tender; BUT we felt the batter of the pork chop and chicken is lacking some spices. Next time I will try the other options that come with curry or Thai sauce which should enhance the flavors.

[Drinks] *Ginger milk tea - perfect balance and not too sweet Signature fruit tea - no sugar added. It's sweet enough for me without add'l sugar because they added some fruit juice as the base. But I didn't really enjoyed the mixed flavors.

I will definitely go back to try more drinks, especially the tea float series which has a layer of sea salt milk...
