Craving popcorn chicken and there aren't too many places we know that make them nowadays in our neighborhood. After a quick search, hubs suggested trying Foam Tea House. Small place, but there were a couple of tables and seating along the window. We ordered at the kiosk - roasted oolong milk tea w/ grass jelly, Thai tea, popcorn chicken and fries. Drinks came out quickly. I ordered the roasted oolong with 30% sugar and less ice. I tend to like my teas strong, and this was a little weak for me. Hubs ordered the Thai tea, which was good. Faves were the snacks as they were made to order and came out hot and crispy. Popcorn chicken was crispy and perfect amount of saltiness. Fries were also hot, and I enjoyed them with the Sriracha ketchup. Hubs and I agreed that we'd each order our own fries and popcorn chicken next time. Would love if they offered a combo deal.

I want for an event that was hosted at this location we were really excited for the experience and the drinks! We all ordered a tiger milk tea, the place looked amazing but very small for the amount of people that attended this event. once we got our drinks it looked yummy, not shortly after we started drinking it we noticed how all of our drinks tasted different despite being the same drink we kinda brushed it off but later on felt very sick. I'm not sure if it was because they were rushing because of the event or what but that caused us to get poorly made drinks and to get sick, even a day after the event we still feel sick. Note: tapioca pearls had odd texture as if it was sitting out a day or night prior to the event. After mixing our drinks it wasn't sweet more bitter despite being 100% sweet and after taking a sip of it I got a huge chunk of hardened sugar//syrup. Hope this issue gets fixed or other peoples experiences were better but sadly mine and my friends wasn't the best.

Amazing quality and freshness. It is also neat that they do collabs with other local businesses and can be found on Sundays at the sunset farmers market.

Very cozy and sweet. Amazing boba and popcorn chicken. The fries are amazing along with the mozzarella sticks. Good for a grab-n-go snack. The workers are very nice. You can also get a picture of you on your cup.

Came in around 7pm on a Friday night and it wasn't busy. The place is pretty small with a few seats. The walls are cutely decorated with boba inspired artwork. You order and pay on a large standing screen. There is a small service fee. Parking is pretty easy as well. There are many drink options there as well as a good variety of small snacks (rice rolls, popcorn chicken, etc.). I ordered the original milk tea (80% sweet, no boba) as well as the cantaloupe sago drink (50% sweet). I loved the sago drink! It reminds me of Hong Kong dessert cafes and wasn't too sweet. Milk tea is pretty standard, and I was charged extra for getting no ice. The flavor is fairly milky. The man making the drinks was very nice, and the drinks came out very quickly. Overall, spent about $13 on two drinks, which is pretty normal these days. Didn't try the boba, but overall, good place for a quick Asian drink fix.

Mom's doc office was full of people? That's how I ended up here. It's rare to see Vietnamese sugarcane juice on this side of the bay (including Oakland). I asked for one and one that's hot. The boss was a little surprised but nothing's impossible. Kumquat is always added but since this is a hot one, they skipped it. It's still pretty good. While I was reading my 蔡澜 book for 5 minutes, mom's done and showed up. I really like sugarcane drinks and promise to write a review for others to know. The boss claimed this should be the only place in SF or at least in Sunset that sells it. If you like it too, here you go.

Bubble tea and popcorn chicken. What more could you ask for? It's a bit cramped, but it's good.
I order a popcorn chicken and it overly crunchy and smell weird. And the chicken seem to taste like an old chicken in the microwave and reheat multiple time. Definitely dont suggest this popcorn chicken at this location.
I'm so sorry, this place is bad LOL. The smell when you enter is like... A mix of greasy food and humidity. Not very appetizing. I really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt bc it's very much a mom and pop shop... Cute hand-drawn wall art and humble decor... But this quality is kind of unforgivable :') FRESH FRUIT TEA (30% sweet w/crystal boba): This is pretty much all syrup. Mouth-stingingly sweet. I don't think they rinsed the excess syrup off the crystal boba (it comes preserved in liquid packs). The fresh fruit outside is probably just decor The staff graciously let us use their restroom, but I kind of wish we didn't....... It was filthy, unflushed, and cluttered full of boxes. Questionable hygiene for sure...

Nice service and regular local boba stop for our family, can order online before arriving.

Came here after grabbing lunch at Dumpling Time up to block. Upon entering, I walked up to the kiosk TouchPad and ordered their Mango Slush with Sago and Panda Milk Tea. Relatively easy and paid with card. It was pretty quiet but normal, considering it was a weekday. Drinks came out fast and loaded with a generous amount of toppings. There's limited seating inside, a bit worn. Interior is decorated with custom art and has a nostalgic charm. Staff was pleasant, and we were out the door within minutes.

I live in the area and have been going here for boba for over 2 years now. It’s always good! And the snacks are delicious too.

Just left here, pulled over to leave this review. Our drinks are great and the gentleman who took our order was very sweet and welcoming. I was outside of Tea Hut and decided to come here to Foam. So happy we did, good place, going to bring the rest of my family.
