OvAsians — Restaurant in Livermore

This review is exclusively about the boba at this location. I've ordered it twice and I was so impressed that I had to leave a review.

My Expectations: If I'm being honest, I wasn't expecting much for a place that boba appears to be only a side item amongst several in an extensive menu. I was actually apprehensive because of the claims of quality ingredients, like organic milk. Since most out-of-the-way spots like this tend to skimp on the ingredients to reduce overhead and maximize the margins due to scarce customers. I had a bad experience in the same plaza at the fish market when I bought a whole order of sturgeon and catfish that I had to throw away because it had gone bad by the time I made it home. I was happy to say that I was dead wrong!

My Experience: Both times I came, there were several customers enjoying their food, hinting at this place being an out of the way gem as opposed to a risky experience. I ordered the brown sugar boba, a favorite of mine, and definitely a hit or miss item. This time it was an absolute hit. The organic milk was delicious and easier on my stomach, and I had a very pleasant ride home enjoying my drink. I was so impressed that had I not been driving, I would have probably left a review even though it was based off one experience.

My second experience was equally inspiring when I ordered my strawberry kiwi smoothie. Everything from the consistency to each flavor filled sip was just how I wished it would be. I can confidently say this place is worth coming to just for the boba. I couldn't even wait to reach home and began to dictate this review to my phone as I drove. Sorry not sorry. Can't wait to come back again for some more....

I work nearby and a coworker came in with an amazing looking boba tea, so naturally I had to Investigate. On my break I decided to head over and grab lunch. OMG the flavors here are fire. Had the brown sugar boba tea (fresh boba and it shows) best I've ever had! For food, I ordered a nr 34 (grilled chicken combo plate) Comes with a fried egg to top off the rice and a killer salad. Amazing all around! Will def be back. Nothing notable has been in that shopping center in over a decade. Not sure there ever was actually lol. Curious as to how long they have been around. My only regret is not having found it sooner....

Francisco was so great and welcoming to me when I walked in.He too Greta care of me the whole time even though I was dinning solo.The owner came out and greeted me as well as the other family members.Very friendly and clean atmosphere.Super delicious food! The salt/pepper wings were perfect and the sauce they made with them is one of a kind.Return trip just for the wings alone, nevermind everything else.Thai tea was made just right,not to sweet.Bah Mi bread was just the right mix of soft and crispy and filling very balanced between meat/sauce/veg..first time customer and will be...
