I came in at 730pm to get boba with a friend since I checked that they don't close til 9pm. I got a taro milk tea with regular boba at 25% sweetness and it was very average but a bit warm. We waited several minutes to place our order as the worker was making a few other drinks. We sat down and at 815pm the worker started turning customers away claiming that they were closed. They started wiping the floors and putting the chairs up so by 830pm we just decided to leave. I probably wouldn't bother to come back here if I wanted to enjoy my boba in the store.

This place has never been a disappointment. I love the taro boba here! Different from other boba spots they have a lot of food options here. You can get Pho, Nachos, Fried Rice, Tamales, or Enchiladas here. This place is all anime themed so eating in is very comfortable!

Boba Whaaat is finally open! Came in to try their milk teas & they did not disappoint! I was immediately greeted as I walked in & helped by the owner! We got the Okinawa milk tea (HIGHLY recommend) & their assam milk tea. Both were so good & definitely met my expectations. I am excited to come & try their food next time I come!! The owner of the nail salon next door (Central Nails) is also the owner of this boba shop! So happy to see a small business owner thrive & grow! Come by & support you will not regret it :)

Teas & eggrolls

First impressions are everything and this boba shop made a great one! The passion fruit green tea had a pleasant flower note at the end of each sip. Tonight we sampled the egg rolls which were 3 for $5 and were accompanied by a yummy sauce! We also had an opportunity to try their beef pho which you can tell by the smell is made in house. Aside from being happy with all of the food and beverages we sampled and the fact the shop is clean and modern. We are thrilled that we have a boba/pho shop in close proximity! Historically we were driving across the valley for the items this shop offers and now it's right across the street! This is a great option for anyone looking for a quick boba fix in the Arcadia area.

It's a small cute place, staff was friendly. Both teas were a little too sweet for my taste. Good but we didn't finish them. They only have one size available which if you have small kids isn't great since they really can't finish a large drink. Also tried the fried rice without meat, it was good. Better the next day.

Vanilla latte

Dry clean place. The drink menu is great. Got latte with non dairy creamer and 50% sweetness. It was amazing. The stuff was very friendly and accommodating.

tea with boba
Ryen B.

Good place for a boba tea. Nice tea flavor, well-cooked boba, reasonable price. Options to adjust sweetness and ice. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

taro milk tea "with extra taro"  supposedly
Anna C.

would not recommend taro milk tea. customer service was great. Cat was super sweet and very welcoming. I got taro milk, tea, which I have gotten many places one of my go to's out of a few favs usually. This tasted like sweet milk. I explained how I like my tea/flavor of the tea to be pretty strong apparently there was even an added scoop of taro with that being said I can only imagine imagine how it would of been with out any extra taro NOT a Fan. I am assuming based off of that that their tie tea would be just as sweet and not flavorful :(

I recently moved to Arizona, and this place came highly recommended. I'm so glad we decided to give…read moreit a try! The pho was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. The service was also wonderful. The staff greeted me immediately when I walked in and were incredibly kind and welcoming. I had ordered takeout and had my baby with me, and they were kind enough to help bring my order out to my car. I really appreciated that extra gesture--it made the experience even better! I ordered the #1 pho, and it was really good. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting. I'll definitely be coming back again in the future, and next time I'm looking forward to dining in!

Since we were in the area, we stopped a Da Vang for a Vietnamese meal. The parking lot was empty…read more We were greeted and seated quickly. I recognized most of the staff who all speak Vietnamese. We ordered vermicelli noodles aka bun. One of the orders was bun with grilled chicken and the other was bun with pork and an egg roll. Service is super quick. The dishes were good. One slight issue is the protein on both dishes were too big to bite into with no knife. It was not a big deal but a bit hard to eat. Other than that, the flavors were good and even better with hoisin and sriracha sauce. This is a family run business. The place is clean and orderly. Their parking lot was full by the time we left. .

10/10, nope 20/10! WOW!…read more I'm so absolutely thrilled by our family dinner at Rice Paper tonight I haven't stopped talking about it with family and friends! The food, flavor, service, cleanliness, and vibes were absolutely perfect!! Came on a Thursday evening, ordered plain pho and french fries for our 5&3YO both ate it up! While we looked at the menu, I couldn't decide what alcohol I wanted, spirit, beer, sake, wine, etc.. finally order sake bomb with Asahi and the bartender came over and let me sample one of the sours - just cause! I'm awesome! Thank you! Wish I had room to order! For dinner we did: - Filet Spring Roll - Chuck Norris Spring Roll - grandma Trans firecracker wings - Crispy Rice on sizzling plate with Filet My words cannot describe how amazingly delicious it all was. The spring rolls were equally filling, flavorful, refreshing, and savory! Flavor explosion! The firecracker wings drenched in the spicy sauce was so good, we kept dipping some of our kids fries in the sauce! Lastly the Crispy Rice dish with filet, WOW! A bite of that, with some broth on the side. I couldn't easily swear it's one of the most savory dishes I've had in AZ. What a hidden gem! On top of this, as a parent, it's always stressful eating outside of your own home with your kiddos, but the staff/owners were so accommodating, I felt comfortable and grateful! They were so nice and my 3Yo is wild, but they didn't make us feel bad and they continued to smile and even give him a high five as we left. The location is clean and vibey, and we were all comfortable the whole time. So glad this fam came FOB in 1981 and hope they continue to rock it because they deserve it! What a great location and so glad we went. Can't wait to go back.

The place is very clean inside, nicely decorated, and had background music playing (I hate places that are dead silent). A nice spot for me and my girlfriend to enjoy our lunch and talk over a bowl of pho. I was intrigued by the veggie pho because they used baby corn, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and asparagus. I don't really like vegetable broth so I asked if the broth could be their beef broth which they said was ok. My girlfriend had the chicken pho like she usually does and we shared a spring roll. I have to say that I was blown away with how delicious my pho was. It had such a nice clean beef flavor that you love when enjoying pho. The vegetables worked incredibly, but I' sure any of their beef options are stellar (I just wanted veggies). No doubt one of the more memorable broths that's I've had in a long time! My girlfriend's pho was also super flavorful and had a nice aroma as well. She ended up eating all the broth and had a bunch of leftover noodles and chicken. I would really recommend not serving the chicken diced in cubes because you can't get those nice chopsticks full of noodles and chicken. The roll we ordered was good, but probably not something I'd get again. They use filet mignon for it, but I think I would prefer to have them use a less expensive cut and give me 2X the meat. Finally our server Enrique was cool and very attentive and let us know about their Sunday pho special which was great. This place might not be as traditional as the other places where you see the entire family working and have the beat up menus, but it's they definitely make pho worth checking out for yourself.

Drinks are so unique and flavorful. We tried the Temple T and the Roselle, yes. The Thai Tea is a classic. Not sure what the energy version is. For appetizers we tried the Dumplings, Mussels, Moo ping. I'd hold on the dumplings even tho they might be recommended. The mussels are in a Thai curry sauce. And the moo ping was the softest but not chewiest I've ever had. Good portions. For the entree, we tried the Chicken Pad Thai and the Panang Curry with braised beef. The star of the show was def the Panang Curry. It's small for an entree portion. It comes with rice. So we had to order another. But the flavors are there. We saved room for dessert bc it was a Mango Sticky Rice. Everything was good. But it made us miss home.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,
