Very bad! It’s completely different from what I’ve had in SD before! Watermelon takes up at least a third of the cup, and! Very stale! The meat is a little white! Half sugar is still very sweet! There is also a strange

TERRIBLE! Drive the extra 5 minutes and go elsewhere. Bad drinks and even worst service. The guy running the place didn't even stop texting from his phone when I walked in to order, I literally had to interrupt him from his phone to get my drink ordered. Would NOT recommend.

The strawberry smoothie is tooooo sweet and the waiter didn't even asked about how sweet I want when I ordered the drink. The waiter is very unprofessional and careless. When I walked in the place, a thick smoking smell was there--it was like someone has smoked 10 cigarettes...No guests sitting there and their bathroom was locked "for maintenance". I saw the waiter was playing laptop with his to-go food aside in the corner of the ordering table and probably he was the reason of the smoking smell. I guess the boss didn't pay the waiter satisfied so the place was such a mess and dirty. Can not stand the smoking smell...won't come again.

The interior of this place is shockingly rundown. There's holes and water damage in the roof and the tables and chairs are dirty. The floor looked like it hadn't been mopped in a really long time. I was actually nervous about ordering a tea from here. I thought their options were limited and the person at the register literally didn't say a single word to me the entire transaction. It was all so odd. Was the drink fine? Sure, but that doesn't matter if the building looks like it's violating public health standards.

First thing you notice when you walk in is it smells bad. The bathroom is closed off and smells like the bathroom is stinking up the place. Second thing is the service is really bad, the guy walks out looking annoyed that you're there and doesn't even greet you. Third and probably most important is that of the two drinks we got one was like, slimy, tasted weird, and didn't feel safe to drink (mountain high green tea with cheese foam). I don't trust that this place should be allowed to sell any type of food at all and surprised that they haven't been shut down.

The boba may be inconsistent, but the tira misu foam is godly.

I wish I could give negative stars. Do not visit because the drinks are not safe for consumption. After having dinner in the plaza, we stopped by this place. I ordered Lemon Yakult, which does not have any tea in it.It was dark, and I consumed more than half of it by the time I got home. At home where the light was, I saw black sediments at the bottom of my drink (see pic). I was confused because my drink does not have tea, but I figured tea leaves could have made their way in as the lady who was working alone had to make 4 drinks for our party.I scooped out the sediments on a white napkin. The black sediments smudged against the napkin like pieces of lead. I was disgusted because I already had more than half of the drink without knowing.I should have known better; while at first glance, the place looks cute with pink colors, if you just pay attention (don't even have to look closely), you will see that the place is quite dirty, the tables, seats, walls, and the doors. My party visited the bathroom; he said don't go.I don't like leaving reviews like this but the matter is a public safety concern, so I decided to write.

The interior is running down! The Zion market close to is set to close down - I have a general sense that the plaza is in a tight financial spot …There is a leak in the ceiling and the bathroom reminds me of a gas station bathroom.I had initially stopped by as a little break after grocery shopping for chuseok.I asked what the staff recommended as a light drink.The super fruit tea and strawberry green tea were recommended. I asked for the super fruit tea, 50% sugar, and less ice regular sized $6. I added popcorn chicken, which you have the option to choose to have spicy $4.The chicken is greasy for my liking. The tea on the other hand was wonderful! Just the right amount of sweetness, and I loved how they added slices of fruit to my drink. It’s better than just pure syrup.

It's tucked away in a small plaza in Irvine, so it's never busy. When I went there only one person was working there as the cashier and drink maker. The Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Tiramisu Puff Cream was delicious and I loved the little shovel it came with for the puff cream.
