I have known this place for two years, but today is the first time I ate here, and it is beyond my expectations. 1. The shop is very clean and organized inside with a good utilization of the space. 2. I tried the pork noodles, which is very authentic Taiwanese style in my opinion. 3. The drink menu is a little bit different from the ones I like; nevertheless I tried the Sunrise and I think it is mixed up pretty well and not overly sweet. Last but not least, the staff is very friendly. I had a great experience today, and I will definitely want to come back again in the near future! read more

E T Tea & Popcorn Chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Today was such a disappointing visit. Usually we see Grace and love her energy and smoothies. We ran into a new guy today and although he was nice, his skills and personality just aren't the same. Someone commented prior and mentioned the new guy making watery smoothies and I couldn't have said it better. Our mango and pineapple smoothie was very watery and not very sweet. I usually get fresh pieces of pineapple inside, but today that wasn't the case. They were also out of brown sugar boba which I do prefer over the classic boba. read more

My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try this place for two years!!! This was the original spot for our first date but I ran late with work and the place had closed. And we haven't had a chance to stop by until now. It is SO CUTE!! The lady who helped us was extremely friendly and sweet and patient with us. She gave us a your of the place and showed us all of the drawings that guests have drawn over the years. You can tell she is very proud of this place and loves what she does. I had black milk tea, which is my go to drink at any boba place. If a boba place can make this drink well, their other drinks will be great too! And let me tell you - the black tea milk tea here is awesome! We will definitely come back! We also had their popcorn chicken. I love the toppings! The chicken could've been warmer and crispier but the toppings were great!! read more

2/1/26: Grace, one of the owners, always greets everyone with a beautiful smile. She is cheerful and & every visit treats us like close family. My most recent drinks have been the E T Matcha (special), the orange strawberry lime slush (#20), and the mango pineapple smoothie (#19). All of them were absolutely delicious; today's especially were very refreshing. I love their decor (around Christmas time there were a ton of Legos dispersed throughout the store. I absolutely adore E T Tea. read more

We decided to check out this spot after one of our Taiwanese friends recommended it, and we're so glad we did! We stopped by on a Friday around 3:30 PM, and the restaurant's cute green alien theme immediately caught our eye. It's definitely hard to miss! There's a private parking lot with plenty of spots, which is always a win. Inside, the place has a fun, cozy vibe with walls covered in customer notes--mostly little drawings of aliens and boba drinks, which made it feel extra unique. The restroom was huge and super clean (at least when we were there), and even though it's shared by both genders, it's a big plus. We were excited to try the food and went with: Popcorn Chicken (definitely a must-try!); Deep-Fried Tofu; Pork Belly Rice; Lemon Mint Mojito Everything was delicious! The popcorn chicken was crispy, the pork belly rice had amazing flavor, and the tofu was spot on. The mojito was refreshing too! We also got to chat with Grace, the owner, who was super friendly and welcoming. If you're in the mood for some authentic Taiwanese food, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great food, good vibes, and a really fun theme! read more

It was the customer service that made it a 4 rather than a 3 for me. Everyone I interacted with was friendly made good recommendations. I got a taro smoothie and some popcorn chicken with their special seasoning. Both were good, I'd be curious to try their other flavors. I don't get many other flavors outside of taro, so I can't speak to other flavors. They have a private parking lot, which can be both good and bad depending on how busy it is. I went when it was relatively slow, so no issues read more

My favorite drinks! The strawberry limeade smoothie was so yummy!! Would come back everyday for a refresher

This is such a unique boba shop and I am so happy that I stopped by. I love anything Alien themed and as soon as I walked in I felt right at home. There were two ladies working with one being the owner / person in charge. They quickly greeted us as we walked in and we then looked over the menu. My sister ordered the berry smoothie and I had the strawberry smoothie with crystal boba. I grabbed my mom a blank sheet of paper so she could draw out her Alien. There was an assortment of colored pencils, markers, and crayons to choose from. The owner soon after came over and dropped off our drinks when they were ready. She was very friendly and took some pictures of my mom coloring in action. The drinks were pretty good. They were refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet. The crystal boba was the perfect texture and size. The inside is pretty cute and there were so many cute Alien drawings. I think its pretty cool that she displays everyone's art. This place was fun and I can not wait to come back and try out other drinks and food. read more

Feeling a bit peckish, I decided to land at Boba Tea and Popcorn Chicken. The alien statues outside were calling my name, so I thought, "Why not?" My first thought upon entering was, "Wow, what a quirky, interactive spot!" They've got crayons, markers, and paper for kids to create their own E.T. masterpieces, which then get proudly displayed on the walls. I ordered a boba tea and one of their special Bentos. If you buy a drink, you get their promo Bento - sounded like a stellar deal! But plot twist: their Bentos had pork, which I don't eat. No worries though, the super friendly employee swooped in like a hero and whipped up a vegetarian and chicken version just for me. Talk about out-of-this-world customer service! The place is not only fun but also squeaky clean. Highly recommend for a cosmic dining experience! read more

This place is super cute. Very bright and there are plenty of parking spots in front of the store. And you see a lot of E.T drawings, pretty cute! Got to try their popcorn chicken, and it wasn't something that I expected- they were white meat, and more like chicken breast bites style? It was good, tasted pretty healthy. Maybe I gotta try their drinks later! read more

3 different people recommended this drink to me and it did not disappoint! Slightly too sweet for my liking, might get no sugar next time. On the heavier side for sure. The owner is a really nice taiwanese lady! read more

E T Tea & Popcorn Chicken - Avocado Yogurt w/ Crystal Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Service and ambiance was awkward . I walked in and the lady walked to the back. I can tell they was not trying to engage with me. I asked about the menu and special drinks and the lady just pointed me to the menu. For an establishment who comes off so engaging and welcoming it was only as I stepped out to leave the lady said "bye" Unfortunate. This wasn't the first time I have heard of this establishment discriminating against brown people. That's how they made it feel. read more

This place never disappoints! I've been coming here for years and have had the opportunity to get to know the owner, Grace. She makes you feel like family! She prepares the food and drinks with love! read more

It's in a weird location away from Hmart and Mekong and outside you'll see some alien heheh. Overall this is a great gem to find and their drinks are very good. Their caramel coffee drink is also delicious. The popcorn chicken bento was also very tasty and filling. Love the uniqueness and service. I believe I ordered the mojito mint slush (non alcoholic) and wow was I surprised. It was surprisingly good. read more

Gorgeous interior, many different options to choose from, and private parking lot. Interior design looks better for hanging out than studying. Walls are covered with art from customers, and they have markers and other art supplies to make your own little paper card while you're waiting. We also found drinks to be pretty good! Boba black tea - this was okay, pretty sweet. I like a more pronounced tea flavor so I'd rate just 3/5. If you're just looking for a more milky, sweet drink then this is your jam. Brown sugar oat latte - this tastes like Chickfila coffee if I'm being honest. It's still good, just drew parallels. Doesn't taste like espresso, so they might have used regular brew. I also didn't feel too much of a caffeine buzz. 4/5 for being a slightly caffeinated sweet treat Popcorn chicken - The breading on this is thicker than normal taiwanese popcorn chicken, but depending on the seasonings you get, the taste is pretty similar. They come seasoned with your pick of 2 spices. I usually go with traditional white pepper & chili pepper as that's what normally goes into popcorn chicken. 4/5, decent but not the best Braised pork belly bowl - Not sure what I expected, but pleasantly surprised. Sweet and savory braised pork (portions were generous) and broccoli was cooked well. Good for a quick meal, but I wouldn't order again. read more

E T Tea & Popcorn Chicken - Strawberry smoothie with popping strawberry boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I mean, aliens with boba tea and chicken? Enough said! Lols I've never seen this concept before so it was fun for the photo ops. My girls squealed with delight when they saw the alien inflatables. Lots of parking out front. We were greeted warmly when we walked and she was really nice. Not a huge venue but big enough with a couple tables and bar stools plus some chairs and a lower table on the other side. It was clean and fun with the alien decor but not too much to be creepy or kitschy. Lols The menu doesn't have tons of variety but enough to find something you'll like. I ordered the strawberry smoothie with boba for my girls and it was so good. They loved it. I wanted to try something different and feeling fruity so I went with the blue ocean. However I didn't know it was carbonated and I'm not a fan of carbonated boba drinks. But the flavor was refreshing and pretty. I can't describe the flavor but it's more on the fruity citrus side. Get it with the crystal boba instead, not the regular boba like I did so your drink appears even more crystal blue. Haha We came came here on a whim after lunch so too full to order the popcorn chicken. But looks good from the pictures so we will def be back! read more

E.T. phone home? Yes, yes!! This place is definitely home if u want Extra Tasty boba milk tea!! Their teas are very flavorful! It's not overly diluted like some other places. Their house boba milk tea was good, but on the sweet side, even at 50% sweetness level. They offer almond or oat milk substitute in their non-dairy boba milk teas, but be prepared to cough up a few extra bucks if u want to go that route. Service was quick and nice! I assume the owner of the tea shop served us, and she was extremely nice, but had a strong Asian accent, which made it slightly difficult to understand her, but we managed, and got our teas exactly as ordered with the help of her sweet cashier! The tea lounge has a super cute alien vibe decor, but it's very small with only a handful of parking spaces, so don't hesitate to get ur goodies and get out! ;) read more

The location is quite tiny. I feel like they only have 5 parking spaces. The service was quick and efficient. The interior was clean. The store has a heavy scent of delicious popcorn chicken. Made me want to have some! I could even smell it outside of the store in the parking lot. I didn't try, but will think about getting some the next time. The wasn't any seating. I liked that the employees were all wearing masks. The boba milk tea was good. The tea and milk ratio was correct. I could taste both the black tea and the milk. I like that they use standard black tea and not the black tea with bergamot. I don't like bergamot. I think that is called Earl gray. The boba balls were cooked correctly. They also seemed fresh. They were not soft and squishy. They were also not hard. Therefore, they were pretty good. I also thought that the tasted alright too. I have had boba balls elsewhere that has a strange flavor. read more

Three words: brown sugar boba!! I stopped in mid-afternoon for a drink and left super satisfied. Of note for my fellow lactose intolerant folks: the milk teas in the teas section are lactose free, while the lattes have organic milk in them. I ordered a black milk tea with brown sugar boba, which definitely tasted out of this world! The brown sugar syrup was the kicker for me - the owner (I think?) noted how they use real brown sugar, which definitely tasted different than other drinks I've had in the past. The flavor tasted like a hint of honey combined with a caramel-reminiscent flavor. I'm obsessed! The boba was also cooked to a bouncy texture. I seldom order a straight up black milk tea, but sometimes the classics knock a drink out of the park. I will definitely be back for this! read more

E T Tea & Popcorn Chicken - Black milk tea with brown sugar boba. Yum! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've been here a handful of times now and they consistently provide me with excellent service, a clean environment as well as quality food&drinks!!! The Thai tea is always so good, their fruit teas are so refreshing, and their house and brown sugar boba always taste so fresh. The popcorn chicken is a must, fried spring rolls and dumplings are amazing as well and perfect for sharing. I love their seasoning/sauce options, their sweet chili sauce is the best I've had! The staff and owner are always so sweet and everything tastes so fresh and made with love!!! The theme and decor is very cute.

E.T. phone home!! E T is located across "Carne Asada" on Dobson and 1st. It is not located in the Mekong parking lot, where I initially tried to find it. A small standalone shop, it's marked by the alien balloons! The inside is cutely decorated with green stools, neon UFO lights, and alien balloons! It's quaint and could probably only fit ~10 people inside. There are also only 8 parking spots in their lot. I am not sure if they are still offering BOGO as I was not offered it. I had the Avocado Yogurt with crystal boba ($6.99) at 100% level of sweetness because I like it sweet! The avocado yogurt smoothie is exactly as described. The avocado is mild but smooth, and tart with the yogurt. The crystal boba (maybe aloe vera boba?) adds texture, although I am not a boba fan. The boba-rista was very nice and checked in with me after to ensure the drink was sweet enough (even at 100% sweetness, it is not cloyingly sweet; which I think is good). I'm a fan of strawberry and brown sugar lattes so I know what to order next time! read more

E T Tea & Popcorn Chicken - So cute!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Toto, I don't think we're on Earth anymore... E.T. Tea! Whoa! Aliens, aliens, aliens. This modern and minimalistic place offers cute alien decor with a simple menu. I came on their soft opening and got the E.T. Special of an Avocado Yogurt with crystal boba and it was delightful. I felt good drinking it and the crystal boba was great. Since it was BOGO 50%, I also got a Strawberry Smoothie on the side. That drink was equally tasty. This is a great place. It's a cozy location with no seating which is good considering the parking lot consists on seven spots and one handicap spot. Get in, get out, and get some good drinks! They also have two offerings in terms of snacks. read more

E.T. Tea is outta this world! With their fun alien decor and concept, they have a limited drink selection, two snack offerings, eight parking stalls, and no indoor seating. Don't let it deter you from giving this new boba shop a try. The staff is friendly and are great about answering questions. Most drinks can be customized from 100% sugar, 50%, to none. I recommend getting your drinks at 50%. They sit in a stand-alone building on the NW corner. You might miss it if you blink but no worries. Just loop around and let yourself get abducted or something. I wish them much success! read more

I was craving snacks so I found this place. I left my phone in the car, but the entrance was very ET friendly! The place is very interesting. Very bright in colors all around. I ordered the Thai tea with brown sugar boba, the thai tea was not pre-mixed, which is nice. The Thai tea tasted extremely good, I was impressed. I tried the caramel coffee smoothie just to try it. It wasn't bad, it melted quite fast though. The popcorn chicken was amazing! I barely used any dipping sauces it tasted so good. Definitely ate it all! I will go back in the future, it's right by my work so that's convenient. Just an FYI if you have a big vehicle or a trailer on your vehicle, you will need to park on the side road. Parking is quite tiny and limited. read more
