    Quick service and lots of seating available. Great spot for studying (spacious, good WIFI, outlets accessible). Got the viet coffee and the fried tofu, yum! Love the aesthetics here. Would come back.

    I came at lunch time and here's my experience: 1. Ambience (5/5): it was surprised me because the inside was totally different from what I imaged :). It was big and very clean. The decoration was very elegant and bright. There were plenty of seats when I came. Hidden Easter egg:). 2. Service (5/5): we almost served ourselves using kiosks at the front. We ordered from the kiosks and got the food at the cashier counter. The staff were very helpful and nice when I asked for some water and a sharing cup. 3. Food (3/5): - Matcha with mango and honey boba (3/5): personally, I wish it had more matcha flavor. The boba was normal, and the taste was quite bland. One plus was the drink was not too sweet. - Chicken popcorn (5/5): it was hella good:). Very tender and flavorful. The meat was not too dry and it hadn't too much flour. One plus was that it had skin, so yummy. - Calamari rings (3/5): I thought they would be some thick, circular rings like the ones I've had at other places before. It was quite chewy and not too fresh. By the way, I liked the squid tentacles. - House special sauce: good, matched well with the fried food. Overall, I loved the atmosphere here, it was very clean and bright. I lowkey liked the chicken popcorn a lot. Next time, I would try a new drink to give another review.

    Love love the pandan waffles. Best by far! Drinks are tasty and oh can't go wrong with the popcorn chicken on the side! We were greeted and treated nicely. Clean new establishment. No complaints here. Thanks!

    Oolong Milk Tea
    Michael L.

    I was in the neighborhood and needed a boba fix so I decided to stop by. The shop is located in a strip mall close to the City Sports gym. It's on the side of the gym and there's a very close driveway on Oakland Road if you can spot it on your maps. So I ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Honey Boba. Overall the drink was good and I would have independently given it 4 stars. However, I'm only giving it 3 stars because the guy/kid at the register was sub par. It looked like he didn't want to be there. I had a question about the differences between some of the boba offerings and I didn't get a great answer. There was another person there also and she brought out a food order for some other patrons. She also didn't exude customer service skills nor look very enthusiastic. There's a ton of interesting things on the menu and I want to come back but I'll have to see. There are too many other places around where the food and the service are notable.

    Mango coconut with mango crystals

    I ordered mango coconut with mango crystal boba, 40% sugar and ice in regular size. The drink was good and refreshing. Not overly sweet. Their menu has variety so may be another day to stop to try their food along with boba. I am so glad to find a place that has so many good options to make a boba drink without tea/coffee at the same time catering to boba tea enthusiasts. Also the staff is friendly and the place is casual and clean. If you not already know about them, visit.

    Menu full of options! I want them ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL!!! Money, cars, socks and Boba! Flavor town: * Banana split with strawberry cream! Whoa! * Banana cream matcha. Hold on now! * Compassion tea - oh someone slap me I've become a BOBAHOLIC!! Snacks?! Oh amazing! Nice portions. Piping hot. Service is also wonderful specific to the Caucasian guy in the front. Hello friend! All above outlined flavors are a total ball for your taste buds and are my absolute go to! The business is also beautifully and tastefully cute in design.

    I was in the shopping center nearby, running some other errands, and thought I'd stop in to Bobaholics for a drink. Fruit flavored teas tend to be my favorite, and I saw that they had some options. There were a couple issues, unfortunately... I ordered the peach green tea, and was expecting it to be just a nice light fruity tea. It ended up being a lot more floral than I had expected. Personally, floral flavors just don't do it for me. Would have been nice if that was indicated on the menu more clearly somehow. That's more of a personal preference thing, though. The bigger issue was that I asked for my drink to be 50% sweet. When I got my drink from the counter, the first couple of sips were intensely sweet, and the remaining drink wasn't sweet at all. I even gave the cup a swirl for good measure before I put the straw in! I'm used to most places thoroughly shaking/mixing their drinks when they hand it off to a customer. I'd give this place a try again, but I can't say my first impression was great.

    Sunset sherbet
    Anthony N.

    This place is pretty decent for what i got. Im pretty sure its syrup but its not overdoing it since i can still taste the tea. I like the vibe of the store and my frinds also enjoyed the drinks they got. Just get less sweet if u know that they are gonna have multiple flavors. I would go back and get the sunset drink

    Now selling baked cookies!
    Lloyd C.

    It's been awhile since I last stopped in but noticed they have new coffee drinks, sell cookies, and remodeled. Compassion Tea: Green tea infused with mango, passionfruit, & peach (50% sweetneess). It was flavorful, fruity, and refreshing.

    Taro ube coffee
    Alex Z.

    Bobaholics is honestly one of those places I like to come not only for the great drinks, but also to get myself a little snack. The crab rangoons are my favorite, there always piping hot. Service is fairly quick and even if it gets busy they have a cute seating area to relax while waiting for your order.

    Dubai Chocolate Matcha and Taro Ube Latte
    Shih Fa K.

    Ordered the Taro Ube Latte and the Dubai Chocolate Matcha. I really appreciated the fresh taro puree and taro pudding; I could taste it even before I clarified it reading the directions. The Dubai Chocolate Matcha was rich and good. The service was fast and responsive. The ambiance is very simple, clean, and comfortable.

    banana cream matcha
    Tiffany P.

    I came to Bobaholics to try their new matcha series after seeing it hyped up on social media. I ordered the Banana Cream Matcha in their smallest size (16oz) for $6. I almost placed the order online but luckily I didn't since they charge an extra 25 cents for online orders. The drink did take ~13 minutes to make which is kind of long considering there wasn't a lot of orders. The drink was NOT good. It was super watery and definitely needed another scoop of matcha. I couldn't tell if the matcha was good quality or not since I could barely taste it. The banana cream itself was decent, but nothing special. I've had a lot of banana matchas around San Jose but this one ranks at the bottom of my list. I was VERY disappointed since social media hyped it up AND this is the closest boba shop to my work so I was hoping to be a regular. Unrelated to this visit, but on a previous trip, they messed up my food order. I got the snack sampler, but they forgot to include the crab rangoons and didn't give me a chance to substitute them with anything else. Overall, I was really disappointed with their drinks. I think it does have potential but they need to work on not watering the drink down. Also, the 16oz is a bit small for a matcha drink so I'd recommend getting their 24oz.

    Tea with boba
    Dave D.

    Bobaholics has been around for a while. They serve good quality boba drinks at reasonable prices. You get a decent size drink (24 or 32oz) for roughly $7. The service is fast, but as typical for these places, you order on a kiosk so barely talk to anybody. The place was clean and comfortable. The Ube boba had lots of boba and taro. It didn't disappoint for that price point. The boba tea had good flavor. I thought the honey boba were fresh. I didn't try the food but the drinks were good.

    Scratch Cookery is one of the many local places hidden in the allies of Downtown San Jose. They are…read morenot far from the heart of Downtown, and definitely not far from the university. I stumbled upon this place one day while doing my random walk, so you KNOW I had to give this place a try. I had went in upon opening time, so my wait was a little bit, but I was not complaining because you know what they say: "Greatness comes when you build them up one by one." I got their hamburger with the extra cheese, and curly fries. The patty was extra juicy, and the brioche buns were toasted really well. I especially like how they added on the cheese after the patty was marinated on the grill for quite a while, but not too long to the point all of the juice was sucked up. The only down side to the food: the prices. Be prepared to spend quite a bit on lunch if you decide to go to this place, because they do end up charging quite a bit more than what the regular places around Downtown would. But the IPA beers make up for it, so it's also worth a bang for your buck. Hospitality was pretty top-notch -- my order was taken in an orderly fashion, and they even apologized for the wait as well. I hope Scratch Cookery stays around for a long while so that people can try out such majestic wonders this establishment has to offer! Ambiance was great, and I'd definitely be back again!

I kept hearing about their hot chicken sandwiches for years, and we finally made the trek to check them out. The Good: * Friendly service * Prices aren't too bad considering the portion size and flavor. * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * Craft brews in cans * Seven levels of heat for everyone from the spice-averse to the hardcore fire lover. * Chicken sandwiches are massive and delicious. And despite it being a breast, they kept it very juicy. * Really loved their fries; I'm not sure if they make them in-house or if they're frozen, but regardless, they're fantastic. The Meh: * Not much in the way of drinks except for the aforementioned beers and cans of soda. The Ugly: * It's located in DTSJ, so you'll most likely have to pay for parking. If you don't mind walking a few blocks, the 4th St Garage is free for the first 90 min. Conclusion: Great spot to get your spice on.

We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

We are trying to find something to eat in the area and notice that this place took over the Krispy Krunchy Chicken. We decided to order from there just to see if the recipe might be the same. We really like that they have a kiosk that you can order from. Since it was late at night, there was no one else waiting to order so we took our time scrolling through the menu. We ended up ordering 2 two-piece meals which came with biscuits as well. The photos of the biscuits looked really good since they were drizzled with honey, so I ordered a few extras. We also decided to try their barbecue sauce and honey mustard sauce. There was only one employee working, but he was very quick and very nice! The chicken is already made and sitting under a warmer, so it just needed to be packed. Surprisingly when we got home, the chicken was still very crunchy! The chicken was also pretty juicy and not dry inside. The biscuits with honey was delicious! I'm glad I ordered more on the sign. They're barbecue sauce is just okay, but their honey mustard is really, really good! I feel like a lot of fast food honey mustard sauces are not that good, but the one's here is probably my favorite! I would definitely consider coming back to get more chicken and maybe even stock up on some honey mustard!

    I noticed the new signage and that they were open. I briefly talked to the person working there…read more(who is probably the owner/family member). He said they will officially have a new menu, etc in October. Currently, it "looks" to be the same Chicken King fried chicken as before. But I could be wrong. They have one kiosk outside and two more inside. There is no seating at all, so, its a grab and go establishment like before and always has been. I'm excited for them. Support your local business!
