We were craving boba and decided to give Congo Go a try. The thing I loved the most is that they make their syrups and boba fresh in house. That's literally unheard of given today's quick serve world and makes boba a lot more guilt free knowing it's NOT loaded with a ton of high fructose corn syrup and other processed items.
They also make their snacks and desserts in house, from scratch too. We loved the crispy egg rolls (full of flavor and made with healthier turkey), popcorn chicken and the fresh made mochi donuts. We've had mochi donuts from popular chains in past and these were in a different league! The dough was soft and chewy and the matcha glaze was melty and warm.

We recommend it for a healthy and delicious meal. Also, there are a variety of sweets for those who...

Drink flavors were robust but not overwhelming. Love the fact that we have mochi donuts in the Monterey Penninsula now! The matcha flavor was very concentrated, which I love! It's hard to find matcha that doesn't taste diluted.
What I really heartened me was that the co-owners Vi and Tia are really down-to-earth and got to know us as humans. Loved hearing their story about working from the bottom up within the hospitality industry to owning their own small business! We'll be back for dinner and a crowd of friends to continue to support your efforts!
Genuine flavors, ingredients, and lots of love at...
