“I got the wing plate and I love that you can sub rice and noodles for pot stickers ?. Also got the fried calamari. It was everything. Definitely going back. For my drink I got the peach honey smoothie with basil seeds, mango poppers and fruit jelly. I wouldn’t change anything. It was amazing.“
“amazing place to go hang out at, and the food is very good. not to mention the workers there are friendly & welcoming—especially the auntie.btw, I’d recommend the egg puffs, jasmine tea, brown sugar milk tea, thai ice cream, and curry fish balls.“
“This is a fabulous place to take kids! My kids really enjoy picking their own toppings and watching them make the ice cream. The guys put on a show tossing their scrapers and chatting with my kiddos. They also have claw machines that take seemingly free tokens that the guys give out repeatedly. My kids were entertained for a solid hour. The ice cream bases are super yummy and you get a lot so very worth the price. I would highly recommend for the friendly customer service, fun flavors, and entertainment.“
“A good dessert spot in the area. Tried 3 of the boba sundaes: -Matcha: good matcha flavor, so much that it was a tad too bitter for my taste. But for matcha lovers, you'll probably appreciate the evident matcha flavor. -Milk Tea: not the strongest milk tea flavor I've had, but I actually really enjoyed it that way. Really smooth texture & perfect amount of sweetness for me. -Brown sugar: a little grainy, but if you don't mind that, the flavor is nice. The sweetest one out of the three I tried.Overall, loved how none of the flavors were overwhelmingly sweet, the boba is soft & chewy, & the quantity is generous for a single serving. Also, very fast service, but I'll note the seating inside is very limited.“
“Unexpected place that has great food & service. The Tom Yum Goong soup was the perfect on a cold rainy day. Perfect balance of spice and ingredients. Was able to smell the ribs before they arrived at the table. There were great also! The waitress was friendly, timely and responsive. Definitely a place to try if you're in the mood for Thai food.“
“I work and the area and while on lunch I was craving a coffee so I stopped here. Once I saw classics like an Americano I knew the coffee here was gonna be better than more Tea places. My Sea Salt Caramel Latte was great, prepared quickly and the person who made it was very kind. Love the esthetic of this place and the selection of donuts too. Definitely a place I would come back to. 4.8/5.“
“No where to really sit when I went, but they made a spot for a friend of mine and I. Coffee was great, donuts were wonderful, and service was perfect. Nice lil coffee and donuts shop.Parking: There are two parking spots in the front and some more parking in the back. Better to walk there.“
“Been meaning to try this restaurant for a long time but every time I visited the wait was always over 45 minutes. Finally decided to wait this time and I'm so glad I did! The food was so delicious that I came back two days later. Both times our wait was 45 minutes long but very worth it. I can see why they are so popular! The space is small and seating is quite limited. They do have outdoor seating but it wasn't available due to the cold, rainy weather. They open their Yelp waitlist on some days so I would recommend checking to see if the waitlist is open and joining prior to heading to the restaurant. There's only street parking but I didn't have trouble finding free parking on the same block. Both times we ordered their garlic noodles and vegetable dumplings. We also ordered their mapo tofu, garlic eggplant, and spicy wonton. Food came out super quick after ordering and was piping hot. Portions are generous and everything was so delicious!! My favorite had to be their garlic noodles and garlic eggplant! The garlic noodles are perfectly cooked and seasoned and so tasteful! The garlic eggplant is one of the best ones I've had! The eggplants were soft, savory yet sweet and pairs so well with rice or noodles! I also really liked the mapo tofu as it was flavorful, although it was spicier than I had expected. The vegetable dumplings were perfectly steamed and the filling was full of texture and flavor. The dipping sauce was soy sauce based and I would have liked the dipping sauce to be more vinegary, but it still complemented well with the dumplings. I didn't try the spicy wonton but my friend enjoyed it and it comes with a spicy dipping sauce. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've tried in Sacramento. Would highly recommend!! Definitely suggest coming with friends and ordering family-style so everyone gets to try everything! I really appreciate that they have a variety of vegetarian options and is clearly indicated in their menu. I will definitely be back to try all the other vegetarian options!“
“Been going here since before their remodel, they just keep getting better and better. I love that they expand the menu every now and then.My only complaint is that they close at 9pm, would love to he able to come here later at night <3“
“We ordered donuts here for my daughter's first birthday. They suggested us to email someone whom I believe had an authority. Turned out the person named Van was really rude and didn't care to respond after asking me how many donuts I wanted. My husband drove straight there and asked if they could just help us out. We did a unicorn theme so anything colorful was good enough. When we came to pick them up, the baker was very excited to show us what he got. He went above and beyond for us. I almost teared up when I saw how sparkly and colorful the donuts were for my daughter's birthday. If you need anything I suggest not to email the generic bober email but go directly to the store and ask for bulk orders.“
“I have tried all the Boba drink shops in Sac and Raretea is hands down the best! Their teas are strong enough where you get a boost in energy and the drinks are all expertly crafted by their friendly and knowledgeable team. I will always make the effort to head over here even if I have to take the extra time to park in the DOCO garage.“
“Warning ahead of time, no cash establishment! Place is small but dazzling foodie lounge, they got a good selection of Boba tea drinks, interesting mochi donuts (Taro is the best imo) which is a variation of dongo balls in a circular ring. Young children teens will most likely be appeared by the ambience.“
“Such a cute little boba shop, their teas ? are also very tasty! ? if you use the Too Good To Go App you can get surprise boba bags ?️? for a ? deal! Best of all, the employees are so familiar with this, from the moment I stepped in, I let her know I have the Too Good to Go app and she asked for my purchase code and had the surprise bag packed and ready to go!“
“First time here yesterday and ordered the salt n pepper shrimp. It's amazing and delicious and the best part is it's only $8!!!! The drinks are good too. I had lychee and honeydew snows with boba and can't wait to go again.m to try other flavors. They have soooo many flavors to choose from! Friendly service and I will definitely be back. I don't know why I never stepped foot here as I always shop at sf supermarket nearby. I shall be a regular now.“
“We came here on a Saturday night and it was actually super busy and there was limited seating so we were standing around as we waited for our order. The inside is aesthetically pleasing to the eye! The staff were working fast to get everyone's orders out right away. We ordered a Thai tea with boba and a taro milk tea, they were both good and flavorful. They have so many variations and options to choose from, we stuck to our safe orders this time but we definitely would come back to try some of the other options!“
“Cafe La Vies serve delicious Vietnamese coffee, lattes, and teas! Their coffee is STRONGGG. I'm glad I didn't adjust the sweetness for my coffee or else it would've been too bitter. The tiramisu foam added the perfect amount of sweetness to the drink. The space was cozy and had plenty of seating. Perfect spot to study or hang out with friends!“
“I had lunch at this authentic Taiwanese restaurant yesterday, 02/18/2024, and was satisfied with the quality of the food. I had Pot #2 (Lamb Hot Soup) and it was delicious. The pork bone soup is very tasty and that it could be filling since you can always request a refill of the soup. The veggies and the lamb meat were prepared well to give the customer a good size portion meal. This is one hot pot place that I will be coming back. The $17 price tag (tax and tip not included) for my meal which include the iced tea is reasonable.And this is my honest and unbiased review.“
“It's so cute. If you're into warm fuzzies, and all things pink, this place is for you. Customer Service is great, and I brought my 10-year-old with me, and she loved the little gigantic cup with the little stuffed surprise at the bottom of the cup. I got the grape mock beer fruit tea, and I found it really refreshing and not too sweet. It actually tastes like real beer! My daughter got the strawberry matcha ice cream and tea and she loved it. We got a lychee milk tea to go with lychee jelly and it was also good. Also enjoyed the crispy chicken. Would definitely come back!“
“Man oh man. This place is too dang good! We come every Sunday & the owner is always here! Hard working bee she is! Super nice & we just reccomend this place to anyone coming out to the Natomas area :) 5million stars out of 10! The Taro & popcorn chicken is super good!“
“Banh mi, pho, rice plates, bun, bobas and more! I love grabbing banh mi from this place if I can't drive all the way down to Stockton Blvd. I also love some of their speciality dishes like banh cuon. The texture is perfection. They sporadically have desserts as well. You order and pay first. I also love that there's a little shop on the side for Vietnamese staple items. The openness of the shop along with all the windows is nice. Prices are reasonable for location. They also do party trays. The owner is very sweet. Come support this mom and pop shop.“
“This is a fast snacking place with an Asian heritage. It has teas, smoothies, flavored ice drinks and snacks galore and rice bowls. I usually will have a large tea or a smoothy to cool off on a hot day. But if I am hungry, I will get a snack or two with a rice bowl. They will serve the order within a 5 - to 10-minute wait.There are many different sizes for the drink. Each drink can be topped with a wide range of toppings.“
“We had a wonderful experience here! The person at the counter was incredibly helpful, assisting us in choosing and preparing delicious drinks. The service was excellent, and the beverages were top-notch. Will definitely be coming back for more and more!“
“Updated: 10/31/2023This place is always dead. An Asian guy took my order...doesn't seem to speak or understand english well but my oblong red bean, & Herb jelly milk tea with extra sugar light on ice still tasted delicious. ?I ♥️ this tea place. She made my thai tea super quick. Prefect amount of sweetness.“
“Stopped in on a road trip to Lake Tahoe since I was craving boba. Cute little shop with lots of drink options! I got the golden which was really yummy. The boba was a little too soft before my preference. We also had the garlic fries which was so good!! Big portion size and shared with my husband. We ate them up! The area is a little sketchy but the shop was very welcoming. Would come again if I lived in the area.“
“Came here to get a Boba drink for our daughter during vball tournament at convention center. What a hidden gem! The mocha coffee smoothie with Boba was good! There are also vegan food available for sit down. Place is clean and safe. Came back for more.“
“Wow, I really like this new milk tea place. I got a JUMBO sized (32oz) Vietnamese coffee for $7 that was delicious! My partner and I shared it and we had some the next morning as well. Their popcorn chicken is really tasty, and I love that you can pick the spice level. I always load up the cayenne pepper myself, so I picked level 3/5 and it was highly seasoned. It was a little too much seasoning for my partner, but perfect for my taste. I would recommend this spot to others.Vegetarian options: Plant based milk and French friesDietary restrictions: Non dairy optionsParking: Park behind the shop near movie theaterKid-friendliness: Sugary drinks and chicken and fries“
“I recently visited Tea Bay Boba and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service and outstanding quality. The boba tea, made with freshly brewed tea and perfectly cooked tapioca pearls, was a delightful experience. The flavors were balanced, authentic, and not overly sweet, allowing the natural tea taste to shine. The atmosphere of the cafe is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxing break or a friendly catch-up. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, recommending great flavor combinations. Tea Bay Boba has definitely raised the bar for boba tea! Highly recommend for any tea enthusiast or anyone looking for a delicious, refreshing beverage.“
“I have enjoyed the food here every time I come. I recommend if you’re in the neighborhood, to at least give this family owned restaurant. Guaranteed it won’t be your last visit here. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Great job BOBA PHO U!“
“We had the best time here! Amazing service and excellent food & drinks. My sis and I went here for a late lunch and it turned into two hours of great conversation and drinks! It may look small from the outside but the sushi is fresh, the ramen is delicious and the drinks are in point! We will be “
“This is a great staff and very very helpful and caring .i dropped my tea on the way to my vehicle and busted it open .Since it was for my daughters I had to go back in and pay for another one which I wasn't mad at all because it was my fault .As I was paying for it the owners I presume and the ladies taking order then told me that there was no need to pay and that they would make me a new one ..I'm so grateful that we have honest caring individuals working here .you guys are awesome“
“The drinks are super flavorful here! I got the strawberry lemonade with tapioca pearls and lychee jelly. Very strong lemonade and strawberry flavor with actual strawberry pieces blended in it. The regular was good sized and decent priced for the quality. Service was awesome, she even gave us personal recommendations. Atmosphere very quiet and good for studying or small conversation even on a Friday night. Thank you so much, I hope to be back soon!“
“Go to spot for boba when visiting my friend in this neck of the woods. I really like their taro milk tea with boba and their fruit teas. My friend got a kiwi something last time and it was legit good! I'll have to remember to get that one next time. Inside they are connected with the sushi spot, so you just have to walk up to the first counter and ignore the wait to be seated sign. Even when the sushi spot is closed between dining service, they will be open to order boba. Everyone has been nice, patient, and helpful. Quality of drinks has always been good too.“
“Love that they have little games for kids to play and tons of areas to sit. Additionally I love that they have a recycling program and you can bring your own clean up and get free topping! That's awesome! Thank you for doing things this way to help our planet. I'll post pictures below. I am always happy with my drinks every times I'm here.“
“The tokoyaki and garlic fries are my go to snack here they have a large selection of snacks and drinks but take into account that they are usually busy since they are connected to the restaurant next door but its worth the wait and you can even play card games that are available to you while you wait nice vibe overall.“
“Star KTV Lounge & TeaHub does not only have karaoke sing-along. They are also an excellent place for lunch or dinner, even if you’re looking for a place for a good drink.They have a good dinner menu and yummy drinks. I’ve been here for dinner many times, and I have never disappointed. The customer service is very good too! The only problem is the parking lot. Too many cars and the parking space are too narrow and very busy!Parking: The parking lot is Very narrowWheelchair accessibility: Star KTV is wheelchair friendly.“
“The customer service was awesome! My Strawberry drink was delicious and more importantly, they allowed me to sample a small taste without sugar to ensure it would be to my liking. It was definitely to my liking and I enjoyed it to the last drop. Very good! I am looking forward to my next visit. On my top 3 favorites list for boba tea drinks!“
“I love going there every time and staff and owner looks happy and friendly. The milk tea there is very refreshing and tasty. The bathroom is pretty clean and not stinky. They usedto get my order wrong sometimes but now they are better. Would recommend this place“
“Loved this spot and had been coming here for years now. The place just went under new management so I’m excited to see how things will change. The food is always amazing and the drinks are delicious as always. I’ll always come back here!“
“I am a regular here. One of the employees let us know they have a veggie bowl with just tofu that we can order that's not listed on the menu. Forever grateful because now Aloha is one of our go to stops. The price is super affordable, the service is great - the employees are kind. If you're vegan/vegetarian and can't have regular poke bowls just ask for the large veggie bowl - they give 6 scoops of tofu with any toppings. We get a base of brown rice and wonton chips (which are also really good). All for $10.95. And their boba flavors are amazing too! They come with a non dairy creamer which we love. Def recommend!“
