They are known for their brown sugar boba, which is constantly cooking in a huge wok. I’d recommend any drink with it, though I prefer it in creamier drinks. The boba is soft and chewy, more like mochi in texture, the brown sugar syrup is thick and gelatinous.
There are two kiosks by the front doors to order from, and my biggest gripe is that ice can’t be customized. I ordered the brown sugar boba milk with Dalgona and at the end, there was just ice and quite a bit of boba left. I never finish my drink with this much extra boba, and I had boba in each sip, so would’ve been nice to order less ice.
While the drinks are good, the cups are pretty small, maybe 12oz, so for the price you aren’t getting much drink. The large size upgrade costs $2 but wasn’t available during their grand opening.
The space itself is very clean, spacious, and well decorated. There’s a few tables on one side and a cute wall of fortune where you can try your luck. You pick out a stick from the bin below, find the corresponding numbered box, and pull out your lucky paper.
I don’t think grand openings are the best time to review a place, as the lines are out the door and wait times are longer. Despite this, their service was top tier. There was someone next to the kiosk answering any questions, we got a free brown sugar boba drink coupon for being one of the first in line, someone else helping with the fortune wall, and the overall vibe was warm...

After a countless boba place opening in the Bay Area, my friends are excited about this Boba place as it claims to be Taiwan No.1 boba place. I am not sure if I am aged or why I am not exciting when a new boba place open. I guess it's because too many boba stores open and I can't distinguish them one from the others.
after coming to here, my friends and I decide to order all the signature drinks from Xing Fu Tang which are Brown Sugar, Mocha and Mango. you can remove the ice when paying $0.75 more, and I believe it's asian way to tell you how to mess around with their recipe. I decide to order everything as original set up to get the best experience. the drink taste with very dense, heavy milky favorite with warm freshly cooked boba, it gives you that lava cake with ice cream with temperature sensation. however, I enjoy my boba in ice cold and the 1/3 of boba, 1/3 of milk and 1/3 of ice simply leaving boba in lukewarm temperature. 😱
overall speaking, I can say Xing Fu Tang delivery one of the best boba experience if you are a boba fan. they are freshly make, sugar coated, and soft chew type. I consider the drink to be a dessert type rather than a...
Read moreSo here I was at Milpitas trying to get a nice cool boba for my brother. He wanted to try a drink and looked at the kiosk. Every drink had a picture and the cost, but none had ingredients used. Plus, it is hella expensive. My lil bro didn’t know what to choose and selected a simple drink, something called - real Taro milk. When he tried it out, he HATED it. It was TASTELESS. Okay so our visit was the first time, how am I supposed to know if I like the drink or no?? I went and asked the store person if we could return it or get another drink. The guy went to a lady, probably the manager, and she was completely clueless on why someone is asking this question, as if the drinks they make is straight from heaven. The guy approached me and was like nothing can be done and it’s a company policy! How many restaurants do returns if the drink or food is bad? Am I supposed to just throw my $7 in the garbage?? It would have been reasonable if there were ingredients mentioned. But apparently, all the money spent is based on chance-if we don’t like it, NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SO, I highly recommend not to go to Xing Fu Tang, unless you want to waste...
