    Thai milk tea with lychee jelly, Boss Black Milk Tea with lychee jelly, Taro milk tea with boba, and Hurricane Matcha.
    Nancy N.

    I ordered 6 drinks today and I was a little disappointed in the boba. The boba was old texture boba, I know that because I used to work at a restaurant before. The drinks are decent definitely need more tea flavor to it. Service was great today, very friendly. It's a small shop with banh mi, roasted pork, ducks, and party trays to order. Would I order again? Uhm probably but they definitely need to stop using old boba though.

    We went here for the plate of nation special. It was our first time. Even though the space is small, the menu is extensive. I had for the first time a KimChi bugolgi beef banh mi. It didn't have that much meat. My friend liked her roasted duck banh mi. She said her tea was good as well.

    Ube Milk Latte

    I visited Boss Tea after having dinner nearby, and it was a good spot for a beverage. Boss Tea is a small Vietnamese shop on Rainier Avenue that offers small dishes and a whole menu of different boba drinks to try. On a Saturday evening I was pleasantly surprised to find that Boss Tea was still open after we ate dinner, and there were a few people getting takeout here. Although they serve lots of different Vietnamese bites, I came here for a beverage for the drive home. I was pleased to find that they had a lot of different ube drinks, which is my favorite! Since I didn't want anything with caffeine, I ordered an ube milk latte, which didn't take long to get. The drink was tasty, with lots of ube flavor. Glad to have checked out Boss Tea while around the neighborhood. It's a solid spot for some boba or tea with friendly staff that's happy to accommodate whatever you prefer.

    Grilled pork and egg banh mi and avocado, egg, ham banh mi

    We usually go to Tony's bakery for banh mi sandwiches, but this morning my boyfriend and I were craving bubble tea. It's hard because on a Saturday morning at 10AM, bubble tea places tend not to open until 11-12pm. Well we searched up Yelp and found Boss Tea just a block away serving banh mi sandwiches AND bubble tea, amazing! I got the egg & avocado banh mi and added ham to it- like a breakfast sandwich egg, ham, and avocado, and my boyfriend got their grilled pork and egg banh mi. Sandwiches were delicious! It's also a plus that you have the option to customize your sandwich as well. We can't wait to come back to try some of their more non-traditional banh mis like the roast pork, duck, and there was even lobster on the menu! We also picked up a peach black tea and a matcha mango. Both were very good. I find that sometimes matcha drinks don't have enough of a matcha taste but there is plenty here! Can't wait to come back and try their other menu items and drinks!

    I used to love coming here but recently the guy working the tea area is really not nice. I feel like he is rude, never friendly like zero % friendliness, and makes me feel bad for asking any questions or even wasting his time up by ordering something. The ladies that I've encountered are all nice but he has been the one I've been having to interact with lately nearly every time and I think I've had enough that I'll stop coming here sadly.

    I visited here with my sister today, we ordered a few different coffee lattes and a lemongrass tofu banh mi for my hubs. I had the ube coffee latte and the tiramisu coffee latte. My sister ordered the pink butterfly and strawberry milk latte. All of it was good, my sister is super upset that there isn't a place like this near her so everytime she comes over we have to get drinks like this. She 100% recommends the strawberry milk latte if you like strawberry type drinks, the tiramisu coffee latte was too sweet for me so next time I'll order it with less sugar. Next time I'm in this area I'm gonna try one of their fruit teas.

    Sticker found in my drink!
    Leah R.

    This was my first time coming to this shop. I thought the service was okay but while drinking my boba on the way home, I felt something weird in my mouth. I pulled it out and uncurled this sticker or label. Super disappointed and dissatisfied with my first visit and I probably won't return. Unfortunately I was already on the road and it wasn't worth it to turn around but this is gross.

    Pretty good! Loved how chewy my boba was. Their ice is square cube shaped, I know most people want to know with ice preference. This place is worth the drive and shares the same interior with banhmi sandwiches. No fresh fruit or fresh take but if you're looking for something sweet and refreshing this place is it. The workers are incredibly nice and knowledgeable and most of all honest. I will continue to support this small business.

    super delicious! some of the best matcha i've had in the area. and their strawberry add in was so tasty. my roommate got the matcha hurricane which was also awesome, can't wait to try more!

    I came to Boss Tea a couple of times now. It's been nothing but a good experience each time. Drinks: There are extensive selections of beverages from tea, coffee, matcha, etc. The photo shows Matcha Hurricane(B1) and Mocha Vietnamese coffee (V1) with egg pudding and Boba. Very appealing from the look. Sweetness, ice level, toppings are all adjustable, just like other bubble tea. Cleanliness: The store is clean with a warming atmosphere--definitely 5/5. Staff: Friendly and attentive staff. Drinks and food are prepared promptly. Even they could get busy during lunchtime, and the turnover time is still quick Parking: Shared rear parking with Rainier restaurant. Overall, I recommend if you are craving bubble tea in the area and enjoy! :)

    Matcha hurricane. Love, @eatoutthao

    There wasn't anything too spectacular about the drink, after going to so many boba places, it's starting to kind of be similar with the sugary blended drinks. But it is really cool that they also serve food here, like legit Vietnamese food you would find at a deli, not just snacks. They share a parking lot with Rainier Restaurant. There's very minimal seating here, like 4 small bar stools against the window, not really enough room to sit and hang out, more to have a seat while waiting for your order to be ready. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

    Bru the drinks were rlly good and the Banh mi was Service was awesome and it was just great.

    Mango/grapefruit oolong tea w/ mango jelly, lychee jelly, and tapioca Peach/mango oolong tea w/tapioca and lychee jelly
    Lesly V.

    This place is great! The deluxe Bánh mí was delicious with flavorful and crunchy pork belly! The bread was toasty yet easy to chew and the veggies tasted super fresh. We also had the pork and shrimp spring rolls which were amazinggg! They're not small like most places and the peanut sauce was okay for the most part. We like spicy food so we added some siracha to the peanut sauce and also added that to the banh mi The boba was pretty good! I got a peach/mango oolong tea with tapioca and lychee jelly and my boyfriend got a grapefruit/mango oolong tea with tapioca, mango jelly and lychee jelly (not on the menu but the lady was super nice about letting us create a drink) There was only 2 women working and one of them seemed like she was new but we were in no rush so we had no problem with the wait. The place is very small but very chill and quiet with a zen vibe.

At the front is a large…read morepastry counter filled with donuts, biscuits, muffins, cookies, and a crazy assortment of marshmallow treats including versions with Fruity Pebbles and Ruffles Potato Chips. In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.

I got here at 11 and there was a line if 10 people with every table full. The line doe move quick, but be prepared to eat outside (or take it to go) during peak times. I got the smashwich and fruity pebbles rice krispy. We also got the matcha shokupan donut to share. Everything was excellent. The house made sausage patty on the smashwich complemented the whole sandwich well; it was crispy, fatty with amazing flavor. Pro tip if you have the passport app you can save 20% off! Only downside - I think their space is somewhat awkward for seating and overall flow. However they are doing what they can with what they have so it's not a knock on them per se, just putting it out there that the flow is a little off especially when busy.

They had a good flow of traffic throughout the entire time we were there. They have two picnic tables outside of the restaurant for outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. We had the salmon Philly, fish & grits, and a side order of the waffle. - The salmon Philly was flavorful and the cheese pull was elite. We chose the fries as our side and they were cooked well. - I loved the size of the waffle! It was on the thinner side though so definitely don't put all the syrup on it unless you like it soggier since it soaks up pretty well. - I loved the combination of the catfish and grits because they balanced each other out well. The catfish was cooked to perfection, but I wouldn't eat it on its own since it's pretty salty, so you gotta eat it with the grits for each bite.

The waffle itself was good, and the chicken-and-waffle dish was decent, but the chicken was average at best. The chicken wings were very average, and the Philly cheesesteak was okay/good, but nothing about the food felt special. Portion sizes were fine, but again, nothing memorable. Service was also hit or miss. The lady at the counter was friendly and nice, which we appreciated. However, the rest of the team, including someone who appeared to be the owner, came across as rude and unwelcoming. No one checked on our table, asked if we needed anything, or really interacted with us during the meal. When we arrived, there was no clear sign explaining whether we should seat ourselves or order at the counter. We ended up waiting around 10 minutes before realizing no one was going to help or explain the process. Overall, this place felt overhyped. The food was average, the service needs improvement, and the owner/team should make guests feel more welcome. Based on our experience, I would not recommend it and would not go back.

I came about an hour before closing, so a lot of the empanadas are leftover from earlier in the day kept under the heat lamp rather than a fresh batch, which I can understand. So when I ordered one beef and one cheese, they were both tasty but a little stale than what you would get fresh. The owner also asked if I wanted a little salsa cup, which really added to the flavour of the empanadas. Next time I'll have to come much earlier for a better taste of the empanadas among the other dishes they have here. I plan to come back real soon, it's such a joy to support these small businesses out in South Park.
