Can't keep count of how many times I've been here now. Their avocado smoothie is consistently to die for. That's a huge opportunity cost for me to try anything else lol. Maybe the mung bean one is a close second. One time I'd try their durian but let me just enjoy my avocado smoothie a few more times first. Boba texture, amount and flavor was one of the best. Price is unbelievable. That's why it's always crowded! Bring cash unless you wanna use some unknown random ATM at their store.

Great boba tea and service. It's cash only but they have many flavors and are generous with their boba and jellies. Highly recommend!!!

This is the go to spot if you're looking for fresh fruit smoothies and chewy, delicious boba. They have a variety of fresh fruit smoothie options such as honeydew (boyfriend's fave), lychee (grandma's fave), mango (mom's fave), and watermelon (my fave). I've bought my family and friends drinks from here and everyone has loved it. You can taste the fresh fruit and it's not too sweet like other places. They are consistently quick and delicious! One thing to remember is they are CASH ONLY, but they have an ATM in the store! Although it can be a hassle that they are cash only, I appreciate it because they are able to keep the prices affordable. It's around $5.50 for a drink with boba which is such a great deal especially since they use fresh fruits! I'd recommend going early or later during their store hours as it can get crowded around lunch time. There's a lot of great food spots in this plaza so don't forget to stop here for dessert!

I came here for a quick drink before snorkeling, and I must say, I was impressed. I'm usually not a fan of smoothies as the base for boba, but this was the exception. The boba was nice and soft so it didn't get hard from the temperature. I got the strawberry taro smoothie, my sister got the durian smoothie w/o boba, and my mom got Vietnamese iced coffee. We all thoroughly enjoyed the drinks. They used real fruit to make the smoothies which is rare for a boba place, the prices were very low, and the coffee is flavorful. Definitely recommend.

Hands down, this is definitely my favorite fruit smoothie place. My go to drink is usually the durian with boba. Its so good! They should really consider expanding to the west side since they already have close to each other (Kalihi and Ctown).

I've had some great smoothie in Hawaii but this is one of the best. The fruit you can tell is fresh and very delicious. Sweet but not too sweet. Perfectly ripe unlike in California. Never had Thai Iced Tea but this was a great intro. The sweet condensed milk really brought out the flavors of the coffee. Great choice. I love homey hole in the walls like this. The staff was also nice about questions I had.

I had the pineapple with boba and it was really good. Not sour or too sweet. It was nice and mellow. My drink was ready real quick and I'm glad because it was hot so the cold drink hit the spot. Mahalo to my drink model. Teralina.
Inside the City Square Shopping Center on 1199 Dillingham Boulevard, it's been one of those stores that I've taken notice of but never visited...until the last couple of weeks. Thang's French Coffee and Bubble Tea is situated on the Kalani Street side of City Square SC; next to Sumo Ramen, if I recall correctly, or Sugoi Bento...one of those establishments. They specialize in fruit smoothies with boba, those tapioca pearls that sit on the bottom of milk teas. Boba or bubble tea isn't necessarily something I seek out but I do enjoy fruit smoothies. On my initial visit, I received a great Watermelon Smoothie with Boba for takeaway. Sweet but not cloyingly so...it was very refreshing. It was a deal at $6 but be prepared as they only take cash for payment. Second visit, I went with the Strawberry / Taro Smoothie with Boba; Thang's offers combination options for $7 and this was advertised as one of their favorites on signage. It was disappointing as it was medicore. I think the taro threw it off. They use fresh fruits and they blend their ice into a fine shave. Today, I tried their Vietnamese Coffee Smoothie...quite good. Condensed milk and strong coffee is an excellent combination. I want to try more flavors but I think the watermelon will be my favorite.

Cash only! There's an ATM inside too, but I'm sure there's a fee. On the upside, it seems like the posted prices already include the tax, so a $6 drink is exactly $6. We got a Thai tea, a vietnamese coffee and my friend got a mocha. The thai tea was fine. The vietnamese iced coffee was great though! Super rich and strong and a huge cup was $5, so worth. I had a sip of my friend's mocha too, it was really good, a bit sweeter but still keeping that strong coffee flavor. I have to come back to try the boba and fruit smoothies too. I was so sad to hear the Aiea location closed up. This location is a tiny bit higher in price, but still super good value and quality.

We used to come here a lot! Like every week at least once, but we hadn't been coming into town as much so haven't stopped here in awhile.I'm happy to say that Thangs is still awesome! I never remember how good Thangs is until I've eaten at other smoothie places for awhile. What I realize when I get to have Thangs again is their smoothies have more real fruit in them, you can taste the extra flavor. Their bobas are perfect, soft without being too soft. And the texture of their bobas is creamy.The family that runs it is very efficient and friendly as well.Thangs is awesome, do yourself a favor and go there! They always keep the place very clean as well, we've been going for many years.

Amazing smoothies! The avocado smoothie and lychee-mango smoothie were both delicious and refreshing. They're packed with tons of fresh fruit and are well blended so they aren't icy. No indoor seating so be ready to take your goodies to go. And if you get your drink with boba, you might wanna ask for half boba since the portions are pretty big.

Theeeeeee best please for a fruity boba drink on a hot day. My Go-To is the Papaya. Then again all depends how I'm feeling. Taro, mango, strawberry. Need some chocolate? Then look no further cause chocolate with boba is the . I recommend Thangs to everyone
