Literally one of my all time favorite Taiwanese restaurants! I have been coming here since they opened in March 2013. The theme is supposed to convey a classroom setting. The tables remind me of the really high ones we had in my Chem classes in high school! Paired with the chairs, you really do feel like you're back in school. The surrounding decor completes the atmosphere with chalkboards, tests, backpacks, etc. Overall very cute, even my boyfriend loves it. And he is not usually a fan of Asian food AT ALL! Like no boba, no kbbq, no nothing. And he always wants to come eat here! Silly man haha(^_^)
Anyhow, Class 302 is located in the Fountain Plaza directly across the street from Target off of South & Gridley. Parking is extremely difficult here as it shares a medium-sized lot with multiple resutauts, Gen Korean BBQ (which is ALWAYS hella freaking packed!), plus 85 Degrees, also a popular establisment. So parking takings a few circles and waiting behind multiple cars. I have been lucky in finding parking as I usually park next to Babies R Us (I have to stop in there anyways!), and walk across the lot. It's less of a pain. The plaza was under construction for a good year and now that it is finally complete, hopefully people will have less difficulty locating this cute little eatery! Employees are fantastic! Whether to go or dining in, I have had 100% service every time. Which is why I have been such a loyal customer. The uniforms are also adorbs, of course they are typical school uniforms. Skirts and thigh high stocking for the girls, and yes I've seen guys stop in just to check them out haha. But they are still the sweetest ever, and always provide service with a smile, and very helpful.
I've tried many, many things from here. Not one dish has been bad or unlikeable.
Oyster Omelette: soft oysters, plentiful helping, mixed into the one of the lightest omelettes I have ever eaten. The egg is fluffy as heck!
Bacon Fried Rice: spicy kick, more than enough bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, and rice melded together and cooked to perfection. I have ordered this to go so many times just to grub on while playing COD haha!
Popcorn Chicken: nice, crispy chicken. Always moist and they give you a good amount too.
Stinky Tofu: good, not really a fan of tofu so I don't have much to base it off of, but the outside was a little crispy and it did taste good haha.
Sweet Potato Fries: amazing. the plum powder they sprinkle on top is a perfect compliment.
Bento Boxes: I get the crispy chicken. It comes with minced pork rice, mixed veggies that vary day to day served in an adorable little bento box.
And that's just the latest visit..haha.
I LOVE their milk teas. The smalls are not "small" at 32oz, even though the cup looks small. They don't fit in my suv's cup holders unless I take out the extra lining, but for $3.50 it's one hell of a deal.
Jasmine milk tea is amazing. Not to sweet, one of the better jasmine milk teas I've had.
Rose Milk tea is a little too sweet, but if I get the small it's better than the large size for some oddball reason.
Green Tea milk tea with egg pudding and honey boba is soo good. The egg pudding changes the texture of the tea as you drink and compliments the sweetness of the tea just right.
Caramel milk tea with chocolate pudding and honey boba is my personal favorite(^_^)
As for the shaved snow desserts, they are extremely popular here! And I have porked out on just about all of them! I recommend getting condensed milk, and a side of honey boba with every single one because it just tastes amazing. That and I absolutely love both of them so why not?! Oinky in the hizz-ouse! The shaved snow is literally layers of delicious creamy ribbons. I don't know how they make it so thin but so amazing. The ones I order the most are as follows;
Berry Dream: Strawberry shaved snow, with condensed milk, sliced strawberries and drizzled in the most heavenly thick fudge. The first one I ever ordered and my all time favorite.
Mango shaved snow with mochi, lychee, passion fruit jelly, condensed milk, honey boba, and topped with tons of sweet mango chunks. So bomb. I love mangos and this is perfect for summer. The passion fruit jelly adds a unique little tartness too the sweetness of the mango and condensed milk.
Green Tea with strawberries, lychee, huge mochi pieces, and topped with condensed milk. This is just heaven in my mouth. The mochi and strawberries go surprisingly well with the green tea flavor.
I love everything about Class 302, even though parking is difficult and it is still cash only, even after 2 years of operation. I had hoped that was only going to be for the soft opening phase, but it doesn't bother me any as my bank is only a few minutes aay so I always can grab cash beforehand(^_^) I recommend this place, even if you only end up liking the drinks and shaved snows. The food isn't for everyone, it is kinda different, but seems to be pretty close to typical Taiwanese food. I'll be back of course. read more
