Oasis Tea Zone (CID) — Restaurant in Seattle

I don’t normally come here to China Town at night because I worked late at my job. I was released on shift early one late night and I ran into a troubled friend of mines. Because it was late he suggested to me he wanted Bubble Tea. I know no place open late until he led me here. I was only concerned with buying him his meal and his bubble tea. We got there and I ordered his food. He took unusually long in the rest room. During time with his food order I saw a young lady sitting near me. I did not recognize her until I realize she must be the former girlfriend of a relative of mines. I approached her to identify her. She quickly told me to leave her alone. I became concerned and went looking for my friend. He had come out of the rest room by the time his food was ready. I expressed to my friend I was worried about him. He had a temper, threw his food at me and yelled at me making a scene. I was trying to calm my friend down. I became frustrated with him and told him to stop. Because I felt I had no control over his behavior while he continued to stir a big scene, the young lady she said to me, “I will have you both banned! And I do work here!” I certainly did not know she worked here. I was immediately confronted by these two fellows and I don’t believe are employees here at this store. I was trying to express to that female employee I meant no harm, but her cashier joined with the two fellows and I was told to leave in a down talking manner while these two guys were coming very physically close to me, making feel physically invaded. For being approached by these two guys in the manner they did, I became very offended, I said my last words to that female employee very calmly, “If you wish to speak to me please find me among the community some other time.” And I left wishing not to have a stupid physical confrontation with the two of these guys who have no business being aggressive with me. While being on my way out I was being made fun of by the people of this place.

To the fellows who disrespected me: DO NOT CHALLENGE AND BE LITTLE ME! I suggest to anyone who is reading this to not come here to hang out unless you are looking for a fight! A correct adult manner in handling an out of control situation being an employee is to tell that person face to face what the rules are and you must leave if you don’t comply to the rules. Treat an adult like an adult. Down talking a man is provoking a fight.

I WAS KICKED OUT FOR TROUBLE I DID NOT CAUSE! MY STUPID FRIEND WHO IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS AND WAS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TROUBLE HE STARTED!

As far as I am concerned the people here are very SNOBBY! I am more than happy to have bubble tea and good treats someplace else. This place is a snobby high school and college student clique hang out.

Anyone reading this, you should get your bubble tea and treats somewhere else where you will be respected...

This place was an enormous let down. All of the good reviews, and my wife use to come here all the time too, so we came here on nice little a date. Only to walk in to a place that felt like a freezer, and the baristas clearly wearing warm clothing, in the middle of summer. But then I notice they're playing League and Riot games stuff on the screens, which immediately makes me want to leave.(Seriously Seattle metro is Dota/Valve hometown). But we stay because its a date. The drinks were fine, but if your establishment is so cold you make a woman in the middle of summer on lexipro so cold that she cannot stay in your store, that's a problem. We finally get our food and try to eat and its awful. This is the worst takoyaki I have ever had. And I love tako(octopus) and ika(squid) jerky. This place doesn't know how to make proper takoyaki. so if this is what you were coming here for, dont bother. Their pork belly was awful, my wife couldnt even eat it it was poorly seasoned and poor quality meat. The spicy popcorn chicken was great however, and we got a reasonable amount. Ended up having to share it because the pork and takoyaki were so awful. And ontop of all this, the entire time we were there, some 20~30+ minutes waiting for food and tryin to tolerate the cold, something was beeping every second the entire time. It was behind the counter and was being straight up ignored. It was incredibly annoying. Overall immensely disappointing location, it definitely isn't anywhere near as good as it used to be, and it's definitely not deserving of that 2023 award. We expected awesome stuff, got met with an extra cold, annoying environment. At least the drinks were nice. I got razzberry ice+cream. Tastes just like the red otter pop. We will not...

Is it really worth it for the staff to claim a customer did not order a bubble tea with tapioca pearls? As a new customer I asked for confirmation during ordering if my all fruit bubble tea came with tapioca pearls. The cashier person said "yes". When it arrived without pearls, I spoke to the person who made the drink. She read my receipt, said I did not pay the 50 cents charge for pearls, and said she would add the pearls if the cashier person said he did say it would include pearls. When asked, the cashier person looked clueless and denied it. I explained myself, the conversation, and said it started to feel like a "he said/she said" sort of thing. It was ridiculous, really, and annoyingly petty and cheap. I offered to pay the 50 cents for the pearls, but based on their poor attitude I lost my appetite to spend any more time with the staff or in the place, and said it seems like it is too complicated for them. It did not have to be a big deal to just go with the customer's perspective and add the cheap tapioca pearls. Yes, I was not charged for tapioca pearls according to the staff person, but that does not change the fact that I was told it came with pearls (my husband waiting outside confirmed the cashier said it would include pearls), most people order bubble teas for the pearls, and it is annoying to be a customer who is not believed about such a small and petty issue. It was super petty and the staff attitude was bad enough to have lost a customer WHO REALLY LIKES BUBBLE TEAS, but does not tolerate petty businesses who do not believe new customers about...
