I’ve been going here for over a year and they have always been kinda ignoring nothing too major but I went this last time with my family and they cashier told me they weren’t taking card but the girl in front of me clearly used her card ? I feel like we were racially discriminated, better your workers. Avoid this place and go to the one in Monterrey park they’re way nicer

The price is reasonable and the taste is okThe portion size is as good as ghosts. The salty crispy chicken is the main dish and the rice is the side dish.

Best boba and nicest costumer service! I've been coming here for years and the honey green tea boba is the BEST! Also, I'm pretty picky about fried tofu but this Quickly makes hands down the yummiest! Full of lots of crispy fried bits and soft, silky tofu with amazing sweet and sour sauce. The lady who runs the shop is always so friendly and knows everyone's orders. A can't miss when in Chinatown!

The food and drinks are as good as always as this is a Franchise chain from decades ago. Had a Popcorn Chicken meal, which ended up coming with a drink, and an additional snack of Taiwanese Sausage on the side. Very filling, and tasted as great as I remembered itUnfortunately, I'm docking points for the simple business practice of updating prices -- they were not updated on their signage. The prices listed inside for the meal item was updated once; however, it was not the current up-to-date price - and the menu out front was even older with an even further out-of-date price. The food is still *very* reasonably priced though. It's just not pleasant expecting an approximately $15 charge and seeing a $20 one instead. The meal cost about $12, previous listings were $11 inside and $10 outside. I'm forgetting how much the sausage cost, $6 approx maybe for 2 full moderate sized ones on skewers?Other items influencing the docked score are -- lack of restrooms to use, with the one that exists labeled "out of order" and the door being completely blocked off by stacks of bags of rice. Seems like they are using half of the original dining area as storage, and it might be as assistance for the neighboring shop. So I can actually overlook that somewhat and actually find it reasonably praiseworthy - but signage for prices do actually need to be updated, whether it be by covering the old ones with masking tape and writing over it with sharpie or printing out an updated menu

Has vegetarian options, the Fried Tofu is great. The ambiance is fine if you want to get back to what life was in the 90%s. It's a necessary get away from the fake modern crap we experience every day elsewhere. Don't hate on their style business is hard these days. At least their drinks and food are good. And no complaints about service.

My teenagers and I LOVE Quickly! We have been coming the past 10+ years. We love Chinatown too, especially on Sunday evenings when it's super chill, empty, and LA has free parking. My daughter loves the boba and said it's the best she's ever had; my boys love the smoothies; we all love the popcorn chicken. We are probably a little biased because it's become a family tradition to come here, but I think most people would give this place at least 4 stars. Good prices too.

Yummm! Don't let the interior of the shop fool you, though it looks like a bit of a mess -- the shop delivers in their drinks! It was a group order of taro smoothies, honeydew smoothie and milk tea boba. We ordered all drinks with boba. The drink prices are great value to what I'm used to in San Diego. The texture of the boba was nice and chewy (I wish there was more of it!) the drinks were sweet enough, though the milk tea could have been sweeter.

They serve pretty fast and the drinks taste amazing, I haven't tried their food much but the popcorn chicken is
Was craving a cookies and cream smoothie with boba. While I dont think it was my #1 favorite, it was still very tasty, they were extremely generous on the boba, and they’re the only boba place in Chinatown open past 6. Prices are good too. I think they could use a little updating to feel more welcoming. But I would still come back and try other drinks.

The drinks are solid. We had the honeydew boba tea (no actual tea in it, which is good for a 6yo child) with mango popping boba and the classic boba milk tea. The food though is mediocre-to-bad, aside from the marinated hard boiled egg, minced pork bits and rice that come as sides. The popcorn chicken is sooo over-fried and tough. Ambiance is also abysmal considering there are so many adorable boba places in the world. Note that they have a deal with the restaurant next door that Quickly customers can use the restaurant bathroom. Fortunately, no fuss or hassle from the restaurant when we sauntered in (just a polite ask if we needed help). Overall, I really expected better, food-wise, and that this place would have stepped up their game to the 21st century and the IG-friendly decor/iconography era we are in. I guess in the absence of the modern decor/amenities, it feels like an authentic old school experience?I'd return for boba if I were in the area and desperate, but it was nothing special or worth intentionally returning to.

Found this place by pure chance...literally! So I'm strolling down Broadway yesterday when this Chinese lady in a wheelchair kindly asked if I could push her across the crosswalk. I was like, "Of course" and got her safely across. She explained that the battery on her electric wheelchair had given out while she was on her way to a place down the street. (she said she had Polio) so I offered to push her to the location...and we arrive at QUICKLY. But then the wheelchair gets stuck right in the doorway. Won't budge, even with all my strength. Thank God no customers rolled up at that time. (The cashier dude was like, "Uh, what's happening here?") LOL Anyway, eventually I switched the wheels to neutral and with great effort, got her through the doorway and up the counter! Wow. She offered to buy me a drink and I declined at first but she insisted and curiosity got the better of me. I ordered their Wintermelon ice tea, which was really good. I was happy to learn that this is a Taiwan food/boba shop. (The lady told me she was from Taiwan) Looking around, it has a family-run feel to it. Floors were clean and the tables were spotless. (I think it was the dad who pulled up out front and started bringing in a re-supply delivery.) Lots of clean tables to sit at. Quiet and chill place to relax and have a conversation. As for the lady, when the fire dept. guys arrived to help her (she called them) I bid her farewell and continued on my journey, grateful to God for having the ability to walk at-will, unassisted, and the precious independence it affords...a gift I so often fail to fully appreciate.
