I was only given half the portion of my rice and I order it on the side and I pay $12 for a side of rice. This is unbelievable. The service was terrible. I really don't appreciate this and on top of that they asked for a tip, I tipped them to give me half a portion. This is unbelievable. check your food before you leave. A lesson learned: I just had surgery, and my first outing was ruined. Thanks, read more

Class 302 Cafe - Downey - Side fried rice $12 not even enough for my husband - Taiwanese Near Me - Downey, California

pretty Kool place to get boba you can pick your add INS and they have plenty to self serve for the drink flavor.

The boba was enjoyable here. My sister took me here to try it out and I really like how it is a self serve spot. Once you are doing putting all your toppings in you pick what tea or slush you want and you turn it in to the front desk and they seal it for you. The Thai tea has always been a favorite of mine and it was really good here. Only thing I forgot is to put ice in mine, don't forget it for yours. Our cashier was very friendly and quick with sealing the cups. I got lucky and it was dead for 10 minutes, I was able to snap a few photos and capture the ambiance. It really is set up like a classroom, highly recommend! read more

The service was phenomenal upon walking in. She was very attentive and since it was my first time she described all steps. This is a self serv service. It is awesome. Since I am a boba lover I was able to fill up my cup as I desire. They do have other toppings which I skipped but looked pretty good. The drinks are not super fancy just your general milk teas and green teas. read more

**Drink review only! From the explanation of the worker, the concept of it is pretty straightforward. Step 1: Choose the drink size & pay at the front Step 2: Choose what kind of toppings you want to add and lastly the drink by doing it yourself! (Optional: You can use the sample cups to decide which flavor you like that's located where the register is) Depending on your self-control, you can fill the cup with the right ratio of toppings to drink... or be like me and not. Where you find that you did a tad too much on the toppings aha' (・＿・; The only complaint I would have to say is that the utensils on the topping station can be sticky when you use them. Luckily, there's a restroom and hand sanitizer you can use at your disposal read more

The popcorn chicken is SO GOOD, I'll definitely be coming back for it. I love the setup, being able to pick my own flavor of milk tea and what to put in it is so cool, I've never seen any other place do this. 10/10, the ambiance is also very relaxing. read more

Great customer service! I loved how we were immediately greeted when you walk into the door. I remember coming here when they first opened years ago. When do the things that I liked was being able to try different samples of the peace and smoothies available. I did not try a sample this time because I knew that I wanted that mango peach tea. Which is very delicious. I also ordered some food to go. The calamari was tasty, as well as two popcorn chicken. I wasn't quite a big fan of the popcorn chicken. I did order a regular and spicy and ended up getting too spicy orders which was a bit disappointing. Otherwise the restaurant look very clean and inviting. I would definitely come back again. read more

Ok what?! I did NOT know there was a self-serve boba place so close to me! I had walked in one day just to see what they had to offer and was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the food and drinks they had available and that the boba was self serve. The lady at the counter is fast, she's efficient and she's friendly. This place i guess is known for their boba because as I sat down to eat my food they had gotten swamped at least three times with groups wanting boba. It was i and one other person who sat down to eat. I wound up getting the crispy pork chop and pineapple curry rice (I love pineapple). The portion are big and the taste is flavorful. The establishment is clean and tidy. Overall this place is an amazing gem in the heart of the Downey Promenade and I will return for some other food. read more

Today we went into class 302 at around 7:40pm. As soon as we walked in, we noticed the cashier lady in the back doing her makeup and taking her time. After a quick minute, she came out and tended to us. We got a small drink and popcorn chicken. Once my girlfriend got the cup, she went for the boba and stopped twice. At this point, some teens walked in and asked the lady for sample cups. Meanwhile, the metal lid to the boba container wasn't closing correctly and my girlfriend was struggling a bit. The cashier lady reached over a bit aggressively and placed the metal lid down with some force, clearly annoyed, and went back to tending the teens. My gf and I both looked at each other and said jeeze, this lady could have done better in taking and placing the lid or saying something. P.S. she was already having a bad day and cried after this experience because this was all she wanted to feel better. I love the place and the drinks and the food...the lady just ruined that night experience. Bring back the other nice cashiers please! read more

After picking up a prescription from the Kaiser pharmacy in Downey, my wife and I needed to satisfy our lunchtime hunger. So we proceeded to the nearby Promenade and landed at Class 302. I ordered the combo meal of cumin chicken and the house special noodle soup, while my wife ordered crispy pork chop and miso udon soup. The cumin chicken reminded me of popcorn chicken with a spicy kick to it. The house special noodle soup was a bland, beef broth, with pieces of fried tofu and a tea-soaked, hard-boiled egg. I did bite into a piece of star anise, which was a pleasant surprise. My wife found her pork chop and udon combo to be bland but acceptable. The selling point of Class 302 was the self-serve beverage bar, where you can serve your milk tea or smoothie beverage with the toppings of your choice (However, no refills). My wife served herself a medium-sized jasmine milk tea with egg pudding (I stuck to water). If you're in the mood for self-serve milk tea with your favorite topping, perhaps boba, Class 302 would be your destination. read more

The lady helping was really nice and was surprised that they still allowed free samples. Like how they have a good variety to pick from and you can put as much boba or any add on as you please. The food was good but the popcorn chicken I order was both hot when I only order one of each. read more

I don't know of any other place that allows you to make your own Boba, Bubble, jelly, etc. drinks. I love this place because of it. It's not a drink buffet with free refills but you get to add and mix anything you want for your drink. They usually, not always, have the small and regular size Boba, and they have over a dozen other items you can add to your drink. So you order at the counter, they give you empty cup and you begin to build your own drink. You can fill it completely with Boba if you want or just get your drink. Then when your cup is filled, you take it back to the counter where they will seal it. As for the drink options, they have plenty and you can also ask for small sample cups so that you can sample the drinks before committing. Not only do they have a great selection, the drinks are really good. They also have food. I rarely order Fried Rice as I feel like it's an easy dish to make at home but I ordered it here just for the heck of it and I don't know what it is about it, but I love it. It looks basic and kind of plain but there is something about this fried rice that I just love. I also tried their Spicy Basil Fried Rice. First it is actually spicy and it is strong with the basil flavor. I enjoyed it and would order it again but be warned, you need to like basil. I also ordered their Cumin Chicken and Crispy Pork Chop. Both were good and strong with the Cumin. This location is not a full on restaurant like some other locations so if you've been to the others, just know it is a small. They are located at the Promenade at Downey and have plenty of parking. Overall, I have been coming here and will continue to come here. read more

Friendly staff and the drinks are 100% amazing. The service is fast no long waiting time

Visiting in the Downey area while a family member was a patient in a local hospital, was looking for convenient takeout location. Had the spicy beef noodle soup along with peach iced tea with boba. Delicious! Went back 2 days in a row! read more

***Impressive array of self-serve bubble teas and toppings*** Popped in for some beef noodle soup ($9.95) to go on 10/11/19. The food was ready fairly quick. Probably within 5-10 minutes. Packed very well for the drive home. The beef was a bit fatty and hard to chew, but the portion was large. Not wanting to stuff myself silly, I saved a few noodles in the fridge. Friendly female at the register. I almost went back to order a tea while I was waiting, however, Antman and a couple of his soldiers had seemingly been staking out the counter. It's not that I'm afraid of the six-legged "colonial hymenopterous insects," but they just shouldn't be anywhere on a restaurant counter with boba and such nearby. Will I be back? Most likely, but not for a while. read more

I wish we had something like this down in the Bay Area! I was on a roadtrip and wanted to stop by for some boba and snacks. My partner and I both created our own boba and loved how easily customizable it is and how many options of toppings and drinks there were! We also got the popcorn chicken and it was SO good. I know it's a good place when they add some chili sauce on the side (but it was still good without the sauce haha). If I was in the area, I would definitely come here again! read more

Weather it's Class 302 Downey or Cerritos, it's a great choice for our favorite Thai Tea Frosty. Class 302 has the best blended Thai tea drink around. If you know of someplace better, let me know and I'm there to try it. The advantage at Downey is it's self serve so you can customize your drink your way. With an array of topping choices, the combinations are endless. Downey is more of order at the counter and Cerritos offers table service. Their Taiwanese menu is also all delicious. If you're not sure about something, just ask. read more

This place is great. First you have the build your own boba bar with various teas and fruity drinks, boba and toppings. The fried rice is perfection. If you get the combo with sausage, it's got a similar flavor as pork fried rice. read more

I got my Masters in Boba-tology from Class 302. You don't come to Class 302 for an extensive menu of hand crafted bubble teas. No, you visit Class 302 for the unique opportunity to build your own beverage. This local restaurant is Yogurtland of bubble tea. Once you choose a size, you're able to pick and choose from a number of tea related beverages. Choices include options like green tea, taro milk tea, matcha milk tea, and even a variety of smoothies. Next up is toppings! Class 302 has a little of everything: traditional boba, pudding, jelly, etc. I filled up my cup with mango green tea and then topped it with pineapple popping jelly and crystal boba. I'm a fully believer that keeping it light on the toppings is the right way to go! The grand finale is passing off your drink to be sealed by a team member and then hearing that satisfying pop of your straw breaking the lid. I highly recommend this spot for boba enthusiasts and for kids who love to customize. Unfortunately due to covid there are no samples, and they don't provide refills. read more

TL;DR: Cool concept, everything is just alright. What We Got: Not wanting to get 7 Leaves which is across the parking lot we came to Class 302. I had heard about the Irvine location in the past, but was happy to know there was one out here in Downey. Upon entering we paid for our cups and off we went to create our dream drinks. First stop was the boba, you will want to add a lot, but you will quickly realize how fast your cup fills up. I decided on mixing the different green teas they had available. To my surprise, the teas were all warm... This meant that you had to load up on the ice, which means less space for everything else. The teas themselves were pretty standard, nothing worth noting. Location: Class 302 is located in the Downey Landing/IDK what else this place is called. There is a ton of shops, and a few boba spots. Plenty of parking and areas to sit outside. read more

I had a combo meal with fried pork chops and meat over rice. The pork chops are really good. They are deep fried so careful not to eat so much to clog your arteries. The meat over rice is not so tasty because they tried by garnishing the entree with Julianne pork, cilantro, egg, and mustard green. The ground meat was rather bland. I wanted milk tea but didn't get it. Being $5.45 for a regular size cup was a little too much for me. Will go again to try noodle dishes next time. read more

Since visiting the KP Downey next door. A great place to grab a snack, food, and boba. This place let you create your own boba drinks and fast services with food. Seem like food are made to order but fast. I especially like their fried rice. It's not too oily and can see all the fresh ingredients. Easy to order and the lady in front is very nice. A great place to eat and recharge in the Promenade. Interior are decorated like a classroom and the ambiance is clean and maximum on the space m.

I am probably not the best person to review this, but.... here it goes anyhow. I personally don't care too much for Boba, ESPECIALLY the chewy kind. . The ones that 'pop' aren't too bad I guess. Anyhoot, my girls absolutely love this place and they do offer quite a lot of different flavors of drinks and boba. They also have that milk tea stuff which is pretty good also, kinda sweet. I think they are a little pricey, and like I said, I don't care for all the boba, but they must be doing something right. #SupportSmallLocalBusinesses read more

Had the spicy chicken and a medium boba. Food was very good and the service was amazing! Service very fast and caring. The ambiance was very welcoming to just eat and build your own boba! Will be coming back for the ambiance. read more

First time ordering food here, ordered the bacon/sausage fried rice which was very tasty, we also ordered the spicy wonton noodles and the beef noodles and some fries for the kid. Noodles were delicious, it was perfect with the rice, fries were not so good. To drink we had the Thai tea w Boba since the other teas seemed to be out. Service was good, the cashier was nice and friendly, place is small and the ambiance was casual, not too loud. Bad thing about this place is that there's no option to pay for a refill and also theres no other drink options but Teas or Smoothies. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to take any pictures because we were in a hurry but I will definitely next time. read more

Popcorn chicken was a 3.8/5. It was crunchy but kinda expensive. It's cool that they have a build your own boba.

Not bad but the quality of the milk tea isn't as good as the ones where they make the drink for you. This place is more of a concept where you can make your milk tea yourself as well as get some food. Try their popcorn chicken and their jasmine milk tea. The interior reminds me of the other branches around SoCal but takes away the feel of an actual restaurant. Still, good service and good food. read more
