Sea salt ube milk tea
Vinh M.

This boba shop inside the Great Wall Shopping Mall opposite Mama Dough is for take-out only; there's no seating inside though you can use the indoor mall seating. Given this, nothing to say about service here though my drink did come out fast. I got the sea salt ube milk tea with 50% sweetness, boba and less ice, and I enjoyed drinking this a lot, especially since the ube flavor is apparent and not overpowered in any way. I've tried their other drinks here prior to this review, and they have a good number of unique names for some of their stuff! Parking can be an issue for the mall on weekends but other than that, this is a decent place for your usual quick boba runs.

I got the strawberry matcha fresh milk and was disappointed. In terms of strawberry jam, might be one of my least favorite, it was very stringy and pretty sweet. The matcha itself was okay.

Mango smoothie
Kai E.

My smoothie was okay but not good. Wouldn't recommend to a friend, wouldn't go back. The good: cute packaging and well done tapioca pearls. The bad: Was not given the opportunity to choose a sweetness level, despite seeing it on the menu. Mango smoothie was essentially just sugar water with a couple of pieces of fruit.

The food look good, but I didn't order it today. The service was good too. A quaint Boba Milk Tea Cafe.

Service was quick. This is an order for take out shop; there are no chairs/ tables etc but you can sit in the mall benches. So happy they got the new menu since I'm not a big fan of fruity flavored tea so my options have been limited. The ube latte is creamy and yummy but a little bit too sweet as I drink more. I got the full sugar; next time definitely going to get 75% sugar Pudding was an additional 75 cent.

Sea Salt Ube Milk Tea
Nava O.

The sea salt ube milk tea is ahhhmazing! I highly recommend if you're into ube. I added boba and pudding and it was so delicious. I requested for 50% sweet and regular ice and it was a match made in heaven. Boba Tea Lab is located in the great wall shopping plaza, right across from Mama Dough. There is a tablet next to the register, which I think is a good idea when they only have one person working at the moment. You can order your drinks the way you want them, and the person behind the counter will have it out for you as quickly as they can. They have lots of specialty drinks with cool names, plus traditional boba flavors. Worth a try!

Life is Peachy (left) and Sam's Strawberry Fresh Milk Tea (right)
Jessica S.

I was supposed to grab boba for my friend and I but ended up asking my friend to get it for us LOL. Luckily this place was nearby for him to put up the drinks! It's located next to Bambu in the Great Wall Mall in Kent. There's a parking lot with ample stalls that won't ever be a problem. I got the Life is Peachy which contained butterfly pea and peach syrup. Super different compared to what I usually get. The drink looked beautiful! And it tasted even better. The butterfly pea wasn't too sweet so the peach syrup mixed with it gave it a sweeter kick. The balance was delicious! My friend got the Strawberry Fresh Milk Tea which was suuuper sweet. There was a lot of strawberry syrup that didn't really balance out nicely with the drink itself. Great place to check out if you want some unique flavors that you don't really see elsewhere!

Crispy Popcorn Chicken ($6.50)
Kathy N.

Not bad! I got the popcorn chicken ($6.50) and strawberry creama ($5.50) drink. I ordered online. The popcorn chicken was the Taiwanese style kind, where it's not a thick flour coating on the outside but cornstarch. I got the no spicy version (there's spicy and very spicy too) but I should've gotten spicy. It honestly lacked flavor and salt and I thought it'd come with at least a ketchup packet but nope. If they were gonna do the Taiwanese style popcorn chicken, it would've been nice to get some Thai basil in there as well. It was very hot and juicy and freshly fried so that was good. As for the drink, it wasn't too sweet and you could taste the green tea. The cheese foam made it taste like a strawberry yogurt drink. We didn't get a topping (extra 50 cents if you do) but I think lychee jelly would've been good. I'd come back but only for the drinks

Sea Salt Ube Milk Tea
Jacques I.

I was excited to see that DIY Tea Lab/Boba Tea Lab had a sea salt ube milk tea, which I hadn't tried before when visiting a DIY Tea Lab. And when I saw that Boba Tea Lab was the same company/menu, I had to give it a shot while in the area. Sadly, my ube dreams fell short after visiting Boba Tea Lab. Located in the Great Wall Mall, Boba Tea Lab is one of the retailers here in Kent. I visited on a Saturday in the late afternoon and the staff couldn't be more bored to work there. They were chatting with each other even when I was standing at the counter waiting to order. I finally just had to say that I was ready to order, which they looked annoyed having to stop talking and help me. Even when I got my order and thanked them, they didn't acknowledge me and kept chatting with one another. Such friendly customer service and a welcoming environment, geez. Anyway, the sea salt ube milk tea was a bust. I love all things ube, so liked that it had ube with this drink, but the milk tea was sooo milky. There was hardly any tea in it, so it tasted like I was drinking ube-flavored milk. And then when I drank all the ube, it tasted like milk. Bleh! I eventually had to just toss out most of the drink. Unfortunately, this wasn't what I was anticipating. I can't say I'd visit again after the unfriendly employees and milky tea. Maybe I'll have better luck at the DIY Tea Lab locations.

Inside the store

This is a good bubble tea place. Someone said it's a sister store of the Tea Lab in Newcastle, but in my opinion, it's way much better than the one in Newcastle. The drinks are good. I normally order 75% of sugar, which is just the right sweetness for me. The staff are very friendly and nice. Once my son dropped his drink right after he walked out of the store. The store employee immediately gave him another drink. Very good service! They also sell Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It's so good! I always buy at least 2 packs of Taiwanese popcorn chicken whenever I visit. I highly recommend their Taiwanese popcorn chicken along with their bubble tea.

TaroBerry Smoothie
Eva M.

This location is the sister store, same owner, as the DIY Tea Lab in Newcastle, in case you're familiar with that. This is a smaller shop, and no DIY as the name would indicate. From what I can tell, they are less than 2 months old currently. Unlike some of the other reviews, we did not order our drink at a kiosk. It was normal service with someone taking our order. Every drink is $5 with one free topping. Very straight forward. I scanned the menu looking for unusual flavors. They have many colorful and unique drinks. I chose the very last one, TaroBerry smoothie, and I chose lychee jelly as the free topping. I have had numerous taro smoothies; who knew this is such an awesome flavor combination! Try it if you haven't! I'm sure I'll be back for more.

The Cupid Tea
Sean H.

Always excited to try out new boba places. There are multiple places in Great Wall in Kent and my friends and I chose to try Boba Tea Lab. I ordered the Cupid tea and it was pretty good. The syrup wasn't too overbearing and the drink overall tasted refreshing. Each drink comes with a free topping too, and most places don't do that so that was a nice surprise. The employees were nice too. My group came in super last minute (and I felt terrible for doing that) but they still served us with great customer service.

Ngoc-Diep P.

The BEST BOBA! It was so satisfying to chew on these perfect tasting boba! The texture was not too soft or hard. Cooked all the way through and not hard in the middle like some places. The outside is not soggy either. Such a pleasant experience! Nice customer service 50 percent sugar was perfect. Not too sweet and we could taste the tea. We got a range of 25 percent to 100 percent. So good!

I tried the classic ruby black milk tea w/ boba, 50% sugar. The drink itself wasn't bad, but the boba was so bland. :(

32 Below was a fun place to try! I've never seen bubble tea and ice cream mixed together before…read more Usually, I have to make the heart wrenching decision of either a fun drink or ice cream... but not today! The environment: The place was very well lit up, clean, and very colorful. There were tables and chairs for dining in, as well! The service: There are touch screens to order on and browse menu options. Honestly, this made it easier for me to figure out all the options lol. I got my food very quickly after I ordered and the employee there was very courteous and kind! The food: I did the option of making my own drink - which is both extremely cool and helpful!!! I got strawberry jasmine tea, lychee jelly, unicorn soft serve ice cream (blue vanilla), and strawberry syrup. It was amazing, though I was nervous to try it. The jasmine tea did clash a little bit with the ice cream at first, but not once it all got mixed up and melted. I played it safe by getting mostly strawberry themed and neutral flavors, so I don't know what would happen if one were to do more clashing flavors. Altogether, the drink was $11.98, but I count it worth the price Final thoughts: I'm really, really glad I tried 32 Below! It'll definitely become one of my usual places for fun drinks. I definitely recommend it for anyone who's both a big fan of soft serve ice cream and bubble tea!

The staff was fast paced but still friendly, handling orders smoothly even near closing time. The place itself is very clean, bright, and has a modern feel. Drinks were solid. I like that you can customize sweetness and ice levels to your preference. We tried the Treasure Taro Milk Tea and Pearl Milk Tea both were good, with a nice balance of flavor and texture. Overall, a great spot if you're craving milk tea. Quick service, clean environment, and consistent drinks

TP TEA @ SOUTHCENTER…read more Parking is available, but there honestly aren't that many spots probably around 5-6 dedicated spaces. The rest are shared with nearby businesses like AT&T, and it was surprisingly packed for a Thursday afternoon. Luckily, we found one spot all the way in the back under AT&T, but I do wish there was more parking available or a larger lot. Getting there from the freeway is pretty easy though, you basically just make a quick right turn straight into TP Tea, but it can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I've been to this boba shop before in San Diego, so when I saw a location in Washington, I knew I had to bring my dad. I ordered the lychee fruit tea, and he got the mango tea with light ice and added boba. One downside is that this location doesn't allow substitutions like the San Diego one does, I usually swap lychee jelly for boba at no extra cost, but here they charge extra. The service wasn't the best. When we walked in, the staff didn't seem very welcoming and mostly just looked at us. There was only one self-order kiosk, and a couple was taking a while on it (which is totally fine), but the employees didn't step in to help take orders either. It felt a bit inconvenient since we were just waiting to see if anyone would help us, but eventually they did take our order. The drinks themselves were pretty good. My dad's mango tea ended up being more icy than expected even though we asked for light ice, I think it's because it's a blended drink, so the consistency was thinner rather than thicker. My lychee tea was really good though, I'd definitely recommend it. Even at 50% sweetness, it leaned on the sweeter side, but still very enjoyable. The ambiance is nice, the space is big with plenty of seating, and there's a steady flow of people coming in and out. Overall, it's still a solid spot to check out. Just be prepared for limited parking and slightly inconsistent service.

We stopped in around noon and were the first to order - perfect timing, because right after that it got busy.

For food, everything hit. The wings were packed with flavor and came with six per order. The bánh khọt were cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside but still tender, and they definitely don't skimp on the veggies. The spring rolls were wrapped beautifully and super fresh - you really can't go wrong there. The peanut sauce was top tier too. Pro tip: add a little Chin-Su to the sauce for an extra kick. The staff were also super kind, answered all my questions, and gave really thoughtful recommendations. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're craving Vietnamese street food!

Nothing too special here, just tons of crushed Oreo bits and your regular oolong tea base, perfect for keeping me full the rest of the day. 50% sweetness was enough; any more and the drink would have been too much. There's also a backdrop where you can take photos of or with your drinks if you'd like. Place was decent in terms of cleanliness; some tables were a little dirty but we still had a good time here.
