I love the oreo creme brulee matcha. The snacks can be a bit better for it's prices. Really tiny calamares pieces. Not satisfying at all. Popcorn chicken I didn't really like. The drinks however, I don't have any complaints about them.

Came here on a weeknight and there was nobody there. Got a Okinawa milk tea with boba and a Thai tea. $6 each tea w/ bobaHalf of the boba pearls in the Okinawa tea were so hard I couldn't chew them. Filtered the tea out and threw my paid addon boba pearls away. Tea was fine if not a bit sweet @ 100%Thai tea didn't taste like Thai tea at all- just regular HK style milk tea. Sweetness was 75% but there was barely any sugar. Had to add honey at home. Personally, would not come back since there are plenty of options in the area

The Establishment was really well kept and shows lots of improvement from the last time I went here, the service was really good as I was attended very quickly and in a good attitude, with the food coming out really fast, something that surprised me as in the past other boba shops took up to 10 mins to bring out my drink and food. Along with the very good spirit team the establishment was very clean and very upbeat. Highly recommended for those looking for a chill place to get some really good affordable boba. :)

Don’t come here. The workers are super unprofessional. They move super slow number one, absolutely no rush at all. Gave the guy who ordered drinks after us his first. I was literally just looking to see the OPEN space where they’re making drinks and the lady asks me “do you need something” in a rude tone. Like LOL maybe my drinks. I was like I’m just looking. Don’t go here it’s not worth the headache.Edit: Wow. By the way just be warned that if you make a bad review for this business like I’m legally allowed to share my experience, a worker or someone they know will LOOK up your name and find you on your social media platforms and call you quote “mean to employees” and “2 faced”.

This has got to be one of the best boba places I been to! The employees are nice and it seems like they genuinely put effort into their drinks. I've never had a bad experience and the drinks are delicious. Service is great. I would recommend this boba place if you are in the area because overall it's a good place! It's also a great place to relax if you have work. The atmosphere is very chill and the food there that they have is delicious. 10/10

We went on a holiday so it wasn't many people here. The menu was pretty decently sized and there seemed to be a variety of options to choose from. I got the cocomelon which very refreshing but might not be for everyone.The store is located in a small strip mall so parking might be hard to find as it shares a space with a few other restaurants that seems to have more people in there. There was only one person working, but again, it might be because of a holiday.

Worst of the worst milk tea I’ve ever

This is specifically a review of my experience with this place at the OC 626 Night Market. SCAM alert. First, this place is price gouging. A medium milk tea (one size only available at the night market) was $8. And they had grilled squid skewers. For 3 skewers with about 1 oz of meat on each, was $12. Such tiny portion for $12!Then handed my credit card and was charged over $23+. 12 + 8 + OC tax should be around $21. Not sure how it came out to more than $23. Then the drink itself was basically milk. I got the Ube 'messy' milk tea. It had tiny amount of Ube and could barely taste it. The drink was literally white because it's just milk. I even asked the owner and she confirmed it's basically just milk. I will give credit to the owner who asked if I wanted another scoop of Ube. It was horrible knowing I paid $8+ for ice and milk. Then I got the runs! Ruined my entire 626 Night Market experience. I can't even give this place another chance knowing their business practices.
Eugh, I REALLY dislike leaving 1 star reviews and I generally only do so if I feel like the business was disappointing or even upsetting in any way shape or form (think business owners or employees tryna fight me), but the fact that we had to throw out like 90% of what we ordered here was super NOT GOOD. I HATE wasting food like that. I'm generally not a picky eater either and I'm usually the designated "human trashcan" for when I hang out with friends and we have to finish a lot of food or not everyone's a fan of what we ordered. I couldn't do that for what we ordered at Uncle Tea and I even deferred this role to my father who is the OG designated "human trashcan" and even he couldn't do it. Now THAT is saying a lot. We got the: 1) Thai Green Tea: -Ordered this with less ice and half sweet but this is still so grossly scathingly sweet. I couldn't even take more than 2 sips of this and it wasn't even salvageable if I added my own fridge milk to this. Sadly had to be tossed out completely. 2) CocoMelon: -Tasted weirdly overly ripe, like the melon part? -Mix that with the thick sweetness of the coconut milk (also asked for this less sweet), just made it unappetizing. This was another drink that had to be tossed. 3) Coconut Slush:-Perhaps it's the slushie part with the ice mixed in that watered this down enough to be drinkable. Once again adjusted sweetness but still pretty sweet. Not great either way, unfortunately. 4) Ube Creme Brulee:-The best of the bunch. Made with real ube. -Also, once again pretty sweet even with adjustments. Definitely more of a dessert than a drink with the thickness and sweetness level. Had to dilute this one only because we wanted to drink it. -Although this was the best of the bunch, it would pale in comparison to other boba places that serve something equivalent. 5) Cheesey Egg Rolls: -I regret getting this so much. It was a unique fried snack that I haven't seen anywhere else so I ordered it but aside from splitting one of these egg rolls between 4 people to initially try, we had to toss out the rest. -Super greasy and oily due to the outer egg roll wrapping and how fried it was. It's just instant noodles inside but it's not seasoned or flavored at all. These cheese is just some regular cheddar shredded cheese I'm sure. -There's this weird bitter, somewhat "ripe" taste to these. I'm not sure how to explain it other than imagine something you left out in the heat or sun for a bit too long and it's not longer good to eat. Disappointing and very unappetizing. 6) Fries: -Soggy and sad, but were alright after air frying them. -I'm sure even in their prime they'd just be alright. 7) Yangoon Mix: -It's 6 fried dessert rangoons filled with fresh banana and taro, dusted with powdered sugar. Also very oily, but of all that we ordered, it was not so bad. -Liked that they used real fruit and taro at least.Of this entire order, we only finished the fries completely after tossing them in an air fryer at home and the deep fried desserts. My brother and I tag teamed the ube creme brulee after diluting it with milk. Although this place is pretty close to me, I'd trek out the extra couple of blocks to other boba options nearby.

I looked over the reviews and thought it looked pretty good and decided to try out this place. I was truly disappointed that the reviews and my experience did not match at all. I tried to oolong milk tea which says it's their most ordered and #1 milk tea. I was really disappointed. I could've made this at home and it would've been better. The tea itself was weak (but still ok), the milk didn't not mix well with the tea. It just tasted funky. And the boba was too chewy and had no flavor. Overall, I couldn't finish my tea. It bummed me out. There was no flavor in it whatsoever.I could've driven maybe 5 min more to go to ding tea. . I don't think I could give this place another chance. It was just worth it for me. The employees were kind and had good customer service skills but it the milk tea and boba just didn't match that service.

First time coming here and ordered online for pick up ,walked in it was empty and the guy in front did not greet me or acknowledge me at all. He was just standing there doing nothing and a customer comes in after and he takes their order ,i am still waiting for my order and still nothing and by the time the people got their drinks before me ,so i go up to the girl i see and tell her i placed an order for pick up and i only order 1 drink and she starts making it. Ugh i don't know if they need more help or get some one who knows customer service because i did not feel welcomed at all it was so rude.
