Overall Thoughts: We stopped by this spot while walking through Chinatown on LNY 2024ā it was crowded with a long line, but my friends and I were able to snag one of the tables inside. The menu offers a diverse array of drinks from smoothies to coffees to fruit/milk teas. As a durian lover, I specifically went because they had various durian-flavored drinks (durian mango smoothie, which I ordered and durian latte, which Iāll have to return someday to try). We waited ~10-15 min to receive our orders, but we werenāt in a rush and it was worth it. Iām not sure what typical prices are like in SF, but the prices here seemed standard but maybe on the higher side.
Drinks I tried: Durian Meets Mango Smoothie (5/5): Deliciousā Iāve never had a durian-mango combo drink before but these being 2 of my favorite smoothie fruits, they paired beautifully together. I loved the creaminess of the smoothie, the mild yet distinctive durian flavors, and the sweetness of the mango chunks.
Avocado Sago Smoothie (5/5): If I wasnāt such a durian fiend, I would even say this was the best drink I tried here. It was so deliciousā¦
Honeydew Smoothie (4.6/5): Pretty standard smoothieā very light and refreshing. ā
Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Drinks: 4.8/5 Ambience: 4.5/5 Service: 4.6/5 Overall...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreGreat little boba shop! š§ The Happy Family is a great deal if you're a topping fiend (classic black milk tea + 4 "basic" toppings of your choice). For under $7 we got a large Happy Family with tapioca boba, agar boba, lychee jelly, and rainbow jelly. I ordered 50% (I don't like when boba tea is too sweet) and the cashier warned me that 50% might still be too sweet since I got the jelly toppings (she was right, but it wasn't too too sweet). The tapioca boba is sweet and squishy, the agar boba has just the right crunch, and the lychee jelly is very flavorful and bouncy. I wasn't a huge fan of the rainbow jelly but it was indeed flavorful (it just wasn't as bouncy of a texture as I'd like). They have a lot of different drink options, including a "mango sago" which I'm looking forward to trying! š Bookmark this place for your next boba...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFirst visit to this boba tea shop at chinatown. The interior is nice with many stuufed plush toys. The wall is also decorated with nice frames of boba drinks. The workers are friendly. Beside boba, it looks like they also sell egg puff. We ordered pot size signature fruit tea with 25% sweetness and strawberry lychee with 25% swetness, too. Strawberry lychee comes with one size. If I am not mistaken 24 oz. The pot size one is not like regular size. It is pretty large for boba drink. We ordered both with agar boba. Our order was ready pretty quickly even though it looks like they have many to go orders. Both drinks are refreshing on the hot day. Both come with fresh fruits. The strawberry lychee is good with 25% sweetness, but the pot size signature fruit tea is a bit sweet even with 25% sweetness plus ice. We...
