Manga Tea Shop provides a local boba tea spot for the Carrollwood area to quell the immediate…read morecravings for boba tea. It's eccentric decor and theme makes it delightfully quirky and fun to visit. Understanding that good boba tea (Ten Ren being the baseline) is hard to come by in the Tampa Bay area, Manga Tea is pretty decent. At the time of our visit, the boba-rista was incredibly friendly and genuine - her welcoming attitude definitely suited this business - so kudos to her! The Tiger and standard milk teas served their purpose, but the fruit smoothies stood out pretty well. The menu is a mix of traditional flavors and the neo-bubble drink trend (more toward the latter). There is a decent amount of sitting room at which soft-cover manga publications are situated. Aside from the manga reads, there is also a free single-player arcade and nice pay-to-play claw machine. There are also a few non-beverage/food items for purchase for those anime fans. This is definitely a great hangout spot for those that just want to enjoy other like-minded anime/manga purveyors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manga Tea hosted some local/mini ComiCon event as it would be an ideal venue. Overall, an incredibly kid-teen friendly and safe environment to grab your boba drinks from.

I have heard so many great things about this place from my coworkers and was thrilled to finally…read moreget to try it. I can honestly say this was the best poke bowl I have ever had. Upon entering the restaurant it is quick service but the restaurant itself is very nice and well decorated. Not your standard bright white, plain poke restaurant. All of the ingredients are very fresh. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu in a good way. They have so many amazing options. While we came for the poke, they also have a açaí bowl bar, hot food and even Boba. It was so hard deciding what to get because everything looked and sounded so fresh and amazing. I settled on the first and most popular menu item The Ultimate Poke Sushi Bowl. Everything included sounded delicious. I did sub the carrots for ginger and added mango. The price is only $14.99 which is amazing cause other poke restaurants charge more. What makes it even more impressing is the whopping amount of food they give you. They are not stingy on the portions by any means. In fact I had so much leftover I got to have two great meals out of it. I didn't get boba as it was late and I was just excited for dinner but I did get a fountain drink. They have stubborn soda which I love. It's made with cane sugar. The employee working was very kind. I do not live near our office but I look forward to coming back when I visit our office again or if I'm near by visiting. Excellent food.

You can adjust your sweetness to your preference which I find very helpful. They also have a variety of small bites to add to your order. If you like boba, this place was very good.

It's inside of Sari One Kbbq and you walk right inside where they have a designated place if you're just there to get dessert. Service was great. The restaurant had a homey feel to it. You can tell it's family owned and the lady was very sweet. It was very yummy, the bingsu wasn't too sweet but I do have to say that the waffle was. The portions were decent. They basically had whole cheese cake on the egg waffle. Would go again and definitely try the KBBQ next time!!

They also sell mochi and macaroons. Cheesecake macaroons: 0/5 -- They did not taste anything like cheesecake so very disappointing. Drink: 4/5 -- They have a good selection of flavors & customizations that cost extra including $0.25 extra for less ice ($1 extra for less ice on a large cup which is also $1 extra). They also offer a split cup option for two flavors. I tried the Thai tea & Hokkaido Milk Tea and both flavors were delicious and well mixed. I do not get boba in my drinks so can't comment on that. I dislike that they don't have smaller straws for drinks that don't have boba. The boba straws made it difficult to drink the last remaining sips in the split cups.
