After coming to this place often for the past year it has just been going downhill. I asked for a mango milk tea and it came out looking like diarrhea. It doesn't even taste like mango either. I don't know what they put in that drink but it's heartbreaking to see this place go downhill. I will be taking my business to Jamba Juice.

Yup yup it’s some good boba. I would stick with the boba and not the good. So far no good experiences with the food. Milk tea is good and I also like to put the boba in the smoothies. The location is very convenient in the center of the UCSD campus. Never really that busy.

Solid place. I came here for the boba one time with some friends. Though it was a bit expensive, the place is good and the staff are hard-working and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed it, and their variety of flavors doesn't leave much to be desired.

I have a complaint against a student staff. Her name is Ivy.

I ordered my food today, and I noticed some veggies were left hanging outside the container. I asked her to help me get rid of those veggies. What made me really uncomfortable was: she used her hands with gloves (not new), and threw those veggies back to the container, and her fingers touched the other salad in the container.

It's very likely she used that hand to swipe customer's bank card on the POS. I don't know if this was intentional, or just brainless, but this is definitely unacceptable. A person who is qualified for this job should at least have some common sense of hygiene. This is such a simple and basic task.

After this happened to me, I don't really trust this store. Are all the student staffs properly trained? I don't know if my food is clean or not when they...

Good food and gets the job done. The staff are hardworking even though it must be tough as students and the manager is a human ray of sunshine. The drinks leave a LOT to be desired but I go for mainly fried popcorn chicken and that’s almost consistently good. Sometimes they forget to put in the thai basil so the flavor on the chicken is slightly lacking or the chicken itself isn’t warm (could tell it was sitting there for a while). But as a hungry college student who likes spicy fried chicken, this is one of my top spots for non HDH...

Always saw crowds of people around this place and decided to give it a try. Friendly staff, good energy.

I tried the Iced Cherry Black Tea. Had a little problem poking the straw through the upper lip/wrapping. Tasted a little bit artificial at first but the taste grew on me. Believe the melting ice helped dilute the flavor. Quality ice and tea seemed good. Maybe new time I will try a regular iced black tea with no flavors.

Good selection of tea. Milk teas, bubble teas, tapioca. Fun...
