I stopped in while on a weekend trip to Hershey as I discovered this place driving by from my accommodations near by and knew I had to stop in! Their name and logo are so cute! I had my usual boba order of milk tea with lychee jelly which was made just the way I like it. The service was quick and so friendly. They even offered to have a sample of the toppings before we ordered! They also offered some food like spam musubi and dumplings but I didn't get to try any. Definitely check it out!!

Milk tea with boba and green tea with poppers
Cindy J.

My son had a strawberry slushie with mango poppers. His first sip and he said 10 out of 10. The boba tea here is really good. I prefer the "poppers" that have a nice pop of fruit juice. This place does close at 7! We didn't realize and got here about 20 mins before close, but the staff were extremely accommodating and made our food really quickly. We sat on the couch in front of the windows while waiting. Great idea for a sitting area. The dumplings are so good, the skin is thin and so delicate. Will definitely come back!

a bowl of dumplings and a drink
Jeff T.

So many different options for boba tea and milk teas. Dumplings were so good. I believe it's a new business and the staff was a great help with pick out tea. I would definitely be coming here again. CHECK THEM OUT.

Rice bowl

Great rice bowl with lots of flavor and veggies ! The service is prompt and food is warm. The ambience or the restaurant is creative. 9/10

Great drinks, super food We come here a few times a month for our treats Service is always great Great design and prime location Love the frozen lemonade with cherry poppers

Rice poke bowl with chicken (unmixed)
Lena M.

I ordered a small 16 oz boba milk tea and a rice poke bowl with chicken. Both were delicious! I hadn't had boba milk tea since before the pandemic and it was exactly as I remembered, satisfying to sate my craving. I just wish I'd gotten the large 24 oz one instead of the small! The rice poke bowl had great flavor, and it tasted very clean. Unlike some places, it wasn't drowned in the yum-yum sauce or house special sauce. That may be a con for some people, but for those wanting to appreciate the flavor of the food, it's much appreciated and the sauces were just enough to enhance the flavors. Don't be deceived by some of the pictures you may see, the serving is a lot bigger than it looks and could be split between 2 people if they want to try a few items, leftovers for a midnight snack or lunch the next day, or be a side order if one wishes to do takeout between a few places. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity received. Ordering online is easy and user friendly. Clearly states what's in each dish, the price, and even recommends other products to add. A picture is even included with each dish which I believe is crucial for visualizers and to get potential customers salivating (I know that's part of what enticed me to order). When you enter Boba Sensi, pickup is on the wooden shelves/cubbies to the right when you walk in and requires no interaction if one wishes to get in and out quickly. The employees were nice enough to keep my boba milk tea in their fridge while they waited for me to pick it up. That shows the staff really do care about the customers and how their products are represented. The Hummelstown/Middletown area's not known to have a ton of diverse, international food, but Boba Sensei will surely be a hit as word gets around (especially with several schools and a university close by). I was inside for less than a minute, but heard the employees explaining their products and were clearly knowledgeable and friendly. Great place that's going places! For being in business a few months, it looks like it's doing well based on the number of customers coming and going and a welcome addition to the community. I will definitely be back to try the ramen bowl next and the other products!

Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or a full meal, there's something here that's sure to catch your eye. Their menu features a variety of specialty items, including: Mochi donuts Bubble tea Sushi tacos Korean corn dogs I've yet to have a bad bite here. On my most recent visit, I tried the sushi tacos, which were both beautiful and delicious. The presentation alone was impressive, but the flavors delivered as well. The mochi donuts were another standout, offering a decadent and indulgent treat that's worth the trip by itself. While bubble tea isn't personally my favorite, it's clearly one of the most popular offerings here and seems to be a big draw for many customers. A few things to keep in mind before visiting: Clean and well-maintained bathrooms Limited parking available on-site A handful of indoor tables for dining Can become crowded during lunch and dinner rushes Seating and parking may be difficult to find during peak hours What I enjoy most about Mochi Mama is that it brings something different to the area. It's the kind of place where you can introduce friends and family to unique foods they may not have tried before, all while enjoying a colorful and creative menu. If you're looking for a sweet treat, a casual meal, or simply want to try something outside the usual Harrisburg restaurant options, Mochi Mama is well worth a visit

But it's okay, because I know the food makes up for it. As I got ready to start work today, I decided to go get some soup because I wasn't feeling too well. With the seasons changing, it seems like you might get sick more often. Maybe that's why they call this pneumonia weather. I first went to my number one spot to get some soup, and unfortunately, they were closed today. So I decided to go get pho at a new-to-me spot, and it was very good. The thing about soup is, it's not just about what you put in it. It's all about the broth and how it's made from the beginning. It's something like building a house. If you don't have a good foundation, then whenever a storm or strong winds come, that house will eventually fall down. The same thing goes for soup. If the broth isn't good, the rest of the ingredients inside the soup won't be either. Luckily for this bowl, the broth was amazing, and I really enjoyed it. The time I went was roughly around 2:30 PM, and honestly, that was probably the best time to go. I almost had the whole restaurant to myself besides two other people inside. It was a good experience. The décor was very nice, the staff was very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. The soup did its job and hit the spot. I didn't even have to get anything to drink because all I needed was the broth. I definitely recommend this place, and I hope my review helps you find some good food in a peaceful, quiet environment.

This place would probably get more business if they had a neon sign. They have a faded sign and we…read morejust noticed it recently. Our usual go to boba place is Bon Bon Tea in Paxtang area, I believe, and that's far because we live near Linglestown. Bon Bon puts too much ice and I never thought to ask them to put less ice so over here you can order less ice, which makes your boba tea last longer. I ordered the Earl Grey tea and I loved it. I usually get Thai iced tea boba, but Earl Grey is so mild and smooth. My drink lasted an hour as I ate it with my shrimp spring rolls, which were healthy, good, and filling. Husband and son got the sandwiches and pork egg rolls. The sandwich bread was perfect. Not hard and from Giant like other local Viet places. The bread tasted fresh baked and was not super hard. We wish they had more sandwich options though. Anyhow, this is going to be our new Viet boba place. We are from northern VA where Vietnamese restaurants are all over the place so it's good to see more Viet places popping up in Central PA.

3.5 but could be 4.5 with quality control of boba…read moreFood/Drink: I got a brown sugar latte with boba, light sugar and the combination banh mi. Drink- for $7-$9, I expect a lot more, and I grew up in a boba capital of the US (SoCal) so I think I've trained my taste pretty well. The flavor of the brown sugar was nice, but without tea, the milk mellowed it a little bit too much. I got half sweet which was a good idea otherwise it would be way too sweet. The boba were super disappointing. Tough/dry texture and no flavor. By the end of the drink they just tasted like dough, which leads me to believe the boba pearls aren't well made and the syrup they're in is doing all the heavy lifting. The combination banh mi was excellent! It's new for me to see the veggies packaged in a ziploc and paired with the warm sandwich, but I don't mind it. Great flavor and tasty bread. Would get again. Experience : Came in on a Tuesday at 1:30 and it was PACKED, loud, and hot. About 10-15 people waiting for drinks/food, cashier quoted 10-15mins for a drink and it turned out to be around 20, so not bad. There is a mandatory tip screen which I don't love. The private parking lot is a mess, I really hope the nearby strip mall parking is allowed or if there are any more than 5 cars it's a pain to go in / out. The ambience inside is quite nice and I can imagine it being a cute place to catch up with friends if you're lucky with your arrival and the crowd. I'll come back to try other drinks and absolutely for more sandwiches, but Harrisburg has a surplus of expensive yet mediocre bubble tea shops and so I hope they find their stride to improve drink and topping quality.

Ordered the Thai milk tea with boba small size- $5.25 was no offered a receipt Tasted the drink and the boba was not well formed and mushy. The Thai tea it self was "ok" was not impressed. Overall I'd like how the place was very clean and they had fresh fruits laid out. Maybe they're better at smoothie stuff than bubble/ boba drink idk. But I know I shall not be returning here for boba ever again. The mall it self looked very run down and someone told me alot of the shops are going out of business.

This would be a go-to of mine for their Vanilla and Oreo Frozen Latte. It's basically a frappuccino but with more of an Asian, milky, and creamy vibe to it. Just yesterday I tried their bubble tea for the first time and it is bomb. I get that language barrier might be a bit of a problem with customer service, but they are still really nice and serve their drinks well. The prices are obviously great for the quality, and I believe they are underrated, especially for an area like Harrisburg where we don't have as much to offer tbh.
