U can order online & walk in to pick up. No more waiting! Idk about their food, it looks and smells good, but their drinks always satisfy my cravings. Their flavors actually taste like they’re supposed to. Watermelon icee tastes like sweet ripe watermelon. Better than everywhere else. Staff is friendly & inviting. I recommend this location first, over any other boba place in national city. They’re the pros.

I used to frequent this place often and I really like their crispy chicken combo. However a while ago they took out their value to this place, I used to always get a drink with the combo that is no longer an option for the combo sky rocketing the price of my meal by 10 bucks (included an 18% tip). Its safe to say I really have to be craving the meal for me to come. What used to be a bi weekly trip to this place has turned into once every 6 months or so.

This is another bubble tea shop and there’s always a queue. I had the sweet molasses and I quite liked it. You can actually asked them to lessen the sugar and I’ll do that next time. The crispy chicken snacks were good too.
The service was pleasant and the staff were friendly and always smiling. It’s a nice place for a quick snack.

Attractive staff and affordable boba teas – what more do you want?
This place has a secret menu; get yourself an ABG to find out what it is (or just ask the staff).
The wait isnt too long, but the staff does get behind (sometimes) because a lot of people buy boba here.

Not bad. There wasn’t a line when I entered the store so I got my order fast. It was a little bit on the sweet side (should’ve told them to lessen the sugar). They have tables and chairs and some food you can eat should you want to stay longer in the store.

Came for a quick tapioca drink. Love the fact that places like this exist here. It’s my first time coming in this shop so we decided to order some porkbuns and fishballs. The fishballs are just like the Filipino street food except they only offer ranch or sweet and spicy sauces. The porkbuns came in a pack of 5 which wasn’t noted on the menu they had up. So now instead of 2 porkbuns, we have an excess of 8 additional ones. Not much of a complaint with how much i paid for it but it would be nice to know how many pieces im getting before i ordered since it clearly said “pork bun” not “pork buns”. Granted they’re the smaller sized ones. Quality of the porkbuns can be compared equally to those of frozen store-bought porkbuns. Will more than likely go back here and try different flavors when I’m craving some tapioca drink. Also, one of the employees said that couples usually go here but I’m guessing most of them are college or highschool students. Personally, i wouldn’t come here for a conversational date since the music is played too loud.

I came here after work, I get two drinks and the guy was kind of mean he wasn’t patient with me in what I want to get I add fruit and boba and he only put the fruit and he didn’t put boba and still charge me for it, the drink taste like artificial lemon, I couldn’t even finish it, I waste my money and my time coming to this boba, honestly the worst I have try in San Diego, even the girl when she give the drinks she give bad attitude and she throw the store at me, I use the restroom and was really dirty, honestly I would NOT recommend no one go ever come here !!!
