    Freshly cut barbecue pork
    Hoai Huong P.

    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.

    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.

    Ube Milk Latte
    Jacques I.

    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
    Maggie W.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Arie L.

    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.

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

    Matcha hurricane. Love, @eatoutthao
    Thao N.

    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:)

    V1. Mocha Vietnamese Coffee B1. Matcha Hurricane
    Winnie W.

    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! :)

    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.

Bonus: this spot is kosher! Potato Latkes (5/5): These latkes are thick boys and fried up so they're piping hot when they hit the table. Because of their size, you really get the contrast of the hard crunch on the outside with super fluffy potato inside. So good we immediately turned around and ordered more. Chocolate Babka (2/5): This was truly the only miss I've had here. Unfortunately, the babka just really dries out after it's been sliced, which is a shame because it's just gorgeous with generous swirls of chocolate inside. Reuben (5/5): I really thought their pastrami couldn't be beat, but the brisket is dare I say better? Just as tender and feels a bit less fatty, so it's a little more crushable. Tip: go for the seeded rye over the marbled rye; something about the marbled rye just falls apart a bit more with the juices of the meat, though it's still delicious! Black & White Cookies (4/5): I expected this to be cloyingly sweet, but this was actually scrumptious with some fresh lemon flavor in the cookie itself. Absolutely massive as well.

Then you chose to increase prices and decrease the quantity, which didn't make sense. Less for more? What a waste of a great idea - greed is why your business model didn't work. Your business was so hot when it opened and it actually went downhill about 6 years ago and I am not sad to see you go. Josh - to respond to your comment. My note should have inspired some reflection with the business model but it didn't. Your level of greed was insane and that is not forgiven here. You started hot and decided to squeeze more than your share from this business and this is what happens. You messed around and found out. It's sad because I actually supported the business when it opened but quickly had to end my dealings due to the high level of greed. You did this to your own business by wanting more, more and more, so please don't play the victim here. I'm sorry that you're saddened by this but what you did to the community is far worse than what I said. Actually ripping people off with your product is not having humanity. I'm not the inhumane one here and let's get that straight. I didn't rip people off - you did! You got what you deserved and that's that. You likely have time to turn things around but I doubt you can reduce your greed in time. If you do, I'll gladly come back and support yall. Again - food was great and greed was not.

Its combination of flavors is so freaking good. - Order online and then sweep in and pick it up. Since the place does most of its business during lunchtime, there's always a line and this is a way to skip that. If you want to venture beyond a pastrami sandwich, I highly recommend the chicken cheesesteak.

In short, this is tied with Dingfelders for the best sandwich in Seattle. Pay it a visit and bring your appetite.
