Boba Bee — Restaurant in Provo

HONEST REVIEW: My sister and I came here when they first opened and all I could say was good things: clean, on-point cooked boba, perfect sweetness, etc. BUT, I just went tonight and it was GROSS. 1) Nearly all the girls had LONG LONG hair down that was flying around by the toppings and my smoothie. GROSS— I lost my appetite just from watching their hair fling everywhere and was nervous drinking my boba the whole time. the hair needs to go up and they need to be washing their hands more frequently. That is just disgusting. 2) Cooked the boba wrong. all of my boba was stuck together, so soft it was almost disintegrating in my mouth… ew. I also asked for 75% sweetness— I have grime on my teeth from how much powder they put it my boba smoothie and it wasn’t even slushee. It was all melty by the time they gave it to me, WAY overly sweet and gritty from the amount or powder they added, and unfortunately my favorite part the classic boba was cooked poorly. I’ve been a regular at Boba Bee since they first opened and have never had problems in the past, but I will never revisit after my experience tonight. Maybe it’s new staffing or different recipes… but Boba Bee really needs to up their game. Disappointed to...

Oh I had such high hopes for this place. After viewing their Instagram I was excited to hop downtown try their menu. There was only one person staffing the place when we went. We ordered the honey bbq pork and beef bulgogi panini sandwiches. When they were served to us I was surprised to see that they did not look at all like they had advertised, using a strange multigrain bread and an incredibly meager amount of fillings. Even worse, the meat was tough and tasted super off. The sauce was overly sweet and did not help the situation. Also strangely served with a banana? So sad! A simple panini should not be that hard. Next we ordered some drinks, which I was planning to be at least decent, since this is the shop’s main attraction. Unfortunately these too disappointed. The boba pearls were wildly inconsistent in texture: some too hard and some total mush. :( I’m afraid I would not recommend this place unless some major...

I wanted to like this place but unfortunately it fell short. I felt rushed throughout my order. I wanted to order more but they cut me off before I could. I ordered 50% sweetness and I’m not sure if it’s a powder that they use or what but there was no flavor to my drink. The boba was inconsistent in texture and the jelly was hard. But thanks for the workout for my jaw. The “fresh” buns are definitely from the freezer section at the Asian market. I love the buns (the pork and cabbage one) from the Asian market, but for $2.49 a piece? JAIL. The black sesame bun was lacking in flavor as well. It was basically a black paste which is sad since I love black sesame. The table we sat at was definitely a lawn chair set, which is not the problem. The problem is that it was super dirty. There are plenty of places in the area that are the same price range that are consistent...
