    Vietnamese coffee milk tea
    Wisnu R.

    Pretty good boba spot. Not mind blowing good, but good enough to go again. Vietnamse Coffee milk boba - 4/5. I wish it would be stronger like vietnamese coffee; boba had great texture. Chicken Kaarage- 3.5/5 Not the crunchy chicken popcorn type. I asked for extra spicy and they delivered; which is nice. But overall; its like a chicken nugget. Not sure if they make from scratch. The place itself is pretty chill; plenty of space to sit.

    Good place to get boba! Lots of unique drinks that are sweet! I recommend and would come back!

    Lots of parking out front. Cute store. Some tables to sit and chat. You can order on their ipad. Pictures with their drinks, which is nice. I got the passionfruit green tea. Even with 50%, it was still pretty sweet. I would recommend getting 25%!!

    Sea Salt Ube Milk Tea

    I have been a customer here for years. Staff is always kind, drinks, and food are amazing. I have never had a bad experience here. Every time I visit staff is so friendly and drinks are tasty, this place rocks! My favorite time to come is on the weekends when they sell mochi donuts!!! They have the best Ube mochi donut I have ever had tbh. My favorite go to drink is the sea salt Ube milk tea with boba! So bomb :) Limited table seating inside so I usually take to go. This will always be one of my favorite places to get boba and a mochi donut. I highly recommend DIY Tea Lab Newcastle location!

    Roasted Black Sesame Milk Tea ($5.95), 25% sugar, no ice, boba (+$0.75)

    This was my first time back to DIY Tea Lab in Newcastle since Covid. They've updated their menu and also have a special coconut series going on this summer. New items include: Sea Salt Ube, Mango Sago, Roasted Black Sesame Milk Tea, Vietnamese Coconut Coffee, and others. You can also customize fruit and green teas, but not milk teas. As far as I know, they no longer do the chemistry tube kits; they instead make the drink for you behind the counter You order via kiosk and so there's no one taking your order. This past visit I ordered the ROASTED BLACK SESAME MILK TEA (+$5.95) with 25% sweetness, no ice, and boba (+$0.75). My brother ordered the WHITE PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA (+$5.95) with 50% sweetness and light ice. There was only a short line when we arrived and so we got our orders within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The ROASTED BLACK SESAME MILK TEA was decent and had okay black sesame taste. It was basically your regular black milk tea with some black sesame powder 25% sweetness was very accurate for this drink as it was only slightly sweet. It tasted like the black sesame milk tea they serve at Bobae. The tapioca pearls were nice and chewy and weren't overly cooked. I'd give this drink a 3.5/5. The PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA was honestly a huge miss and probably the worst drink I've gotten from them. I don't like oolong to begin with, but this drink was extremely bitter and had just a little bit of artificial peach flavor. The milk didn't cut any of the bitterness and I don't think upping the sugar level would've helped much. I'd give this drink a 1/5. The interior is clean and there's limited indoor seating. Bathroom is clean too. Overall, 3/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere.

    I ordered the peach oolong milk tea with boba with 25% sugar. I like it! I'd come back to check out their other drinks on the menu. Service was fast even tho there was a long line. There is some seating inside!

    The vibe here is always nice, the workers are great, and the boba is good! Super convenient to online order and plenty of parking!

    Thai ice tea.

    After hiking we stopped in for a Thai Ice Tea. In addition to having a wide variety of drinks, they also sell mochi donuts - YUM! One very cool thing was they have a sign with all their drinks on a window facing the pathway so basically see the menu without entering the store. I appreciate that. You order through the kiosk, and the drinks have options for sugar levels, ice, etc. You have to select these options so if you don't know, what's the level is in a standard drink, it can throw ya off. We ordered Thai iced teas and mochi donut. The mochi doughnut was so good. The donuts are supplied by milkvue. The Thai Ice teas were ok. I don't think I'd order that again, but I definitely would like to try other items on the menu.

    Any chances you'll be open after 7pm? I find myself craving hot taro milk teas in the evening.

    Unfortunately not at this moment. Once the coronavirus situation gets better and under control, we will have our normal hours from 11am to 9pm. Thank you for your understanding.

    Are there non-dairy milk options?

    Yes, currently we have almond milk, soon we will try coconut milk and soy milk to see which one taste better.

    I've been to this location since 2017 when it first opened and have been deterred from coming here…read morein the past because of some rowdy car meetups that take up the spacious parking lot it shares with several other businesses like a teriyaki place. This was on a Friday night around 7:30pm, and my group of 5 came here to get some balls inside us... or more like just satisfy our sweet tooths. For this visit, I decided to get one of their signature smoothies: cuddles on the beach. It's a blend of strawberry, peach and mango, and comes with a bunch of peach bits. This whole drink was really sweet - there were options to change levels of sweetness that I did not see carefully that would have made my rink better. Probably if I had gotten it much less sweet - if that is possible for the cuddles on the beach - it would be much better. Peach bits were one of my favorite parts of the drink, as I could easily suck them through my straw like balls haha. I'd go as far as to say this drink went past the cuddles and went all the way... :P It was fun striking a conversation with my server up front when she asked me and friends about our day, and that made this visit a lot better. That's kinda the feel of this place especially when it gets late at night, because there's a lot of people that come inside and fill the tables. As for my group of six, we definitely contributed to the already loud noises of people talking and blenders blazing to make drinks. This place wouldn't really be my go-to for drinks in general, even though it does open much later than most other places serving boba, but they have a ton of interestingly named drinks that I'd try when I want a late-night boba call :PP

Drinks They use Rishi tea which is solid and the boba was chewy and fresh. Nothing outré, just reliably good and consistent. Food We ordered popcorn chicken and waffle fries. Both arrived crisp and hot; the chicken had a nice seasoning and the fries kept their crunch even after a few rounds of passing them around. Perfect for sharing. Seating The stools are a mixed bag -- they look modern but aren't great for long hangs. If you plan to linger for hours, you might end up standing or shifting around a lot. Maybe that's intentional to keep turnover moving, but worth noting. Service Staff were friendly and efficient -- quick with orders and happy to accommodate our larger group. Overall Great for casual meetups and group catch-ups when you want good boba and shareable snacks in a spacious setting.

The drink itself was good but nothing super special, I got the strawberry & lychee snow with lychee jelly and no modifications on the sugar; it was a little sweet and syrup-y but the snow itself was delicious and the flavor was nice too - would say it's around a 4.3/5. But what is great about this place is that it's open late night (until midnight) and inside there's simple board games that you can enjoy with friends. There's plenty of places to sit inside and the tables are big enough to sit with larger groups of friends. The service was fine, they let us stay a little past midnight to finish our chess game. 4.9/5 One quick note: I've heard the food here is pretty bad. I saw the popcorn chicken and curry, it looked pretty dry and it my friends didn't seem to enjoy it for the taste. Overall, 4.6/5.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #105…read more I first visited a Tra Viet location in Vegas, not expecting it to be a small chain originating in Washington! On the drive up back from Portland recently, we decided to stop by the original location (and only stand-alone store left in Washington) in Renton, down near the Boeing factory. This boba shop is known for serving drinks in essentially soda cans, complete with pop top. It's a unique concept, but it also means that value is less than competitors since the drink size is much smaller. Still, the quality is pretty high, at least enough to get us to visit based on what we ordered at the Las Vegas location. We ordered two drinks on our visit: Classic Milk Tea w/ Boba ($7.25) - No adjustments are allowed in this drink. The drink has a surprisingly strong malty flavor that pairs with the creamer nicely, delivering a thick and enjoyable experience. I believe the drink is premixed, which is why sweetness adjustments aren't allowed. Unfortunately it is too sweet for my tastes, especially since the boba soak adds even more sugar to the mixture. The ice levels, even at 100%, isn't too much. They use crushed ice that's easier to melt. The boba is of the mini variety, soaked well in syrup. They are actually cooked perfectly for this particular variety - great consistent chew and bounce on each tiny little pearl. I normally prefer full sized boba, but this one is very nice. I think their recipe can only use the mini boba - with the normal size boba at this texture, I would probably call it too firm, but it's perfect for the mini. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Jasmine Milk Tea, Less Sweet w/ Boba ($7.25) - This milk tea is very perfume-like with plenty of jasmine flower flavor. With the less sweet option, it's around 50% sweet compared to other shops, which matches up with my tastes. Again, it has good body but no dairy flavor. Overall a solid drink. We actually drank this about 2 hours after the Classic Milk Tea and somehow the boba was exactly the same texture. Usually the pearls start hardening up, but this was still perfect! Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Usually places like this which focus on gimmicks don't exactly serve the best drinks. Tra Viet seems to be an exception. I'd be happy to return any time I'm down in Renton! Bathrooms - I didn't see any in store, but I also didn't ask the bobarista for availability.

The boba wasn't ready as a result. I ended up ordering a strawberry latte. They didn't seem to have size options. I found the strawberry latte to be a good level of sweetness for me.

The jasmine tea was a bit bitter, and even though I asked for 50% sweet it was too sweet. The taste of the brown sugar syrup from the boba also overwhelmed the jasmine tea flavor. Overall really disappointed.
