I'm going home to use this as coffee creamer.... This is pure sugar, no flavor or consistency, worst boba I've ever had in my life. She didn't even know the difference between coconutmilk and normal milk.I am allergic to dairy and she asked multiple times how to use the coconut milk in the drink & after one sip I felt like I had diabetes.there was no ice in the drink it was warm.for $8.50 this drink was not worth it. Ambience was weird, they are selling Christmas stuff. I don't understand

Stopped by to give it a try. Place is super clean inside. Glad a new boba place is open in my area and something different from Starbucks to sip on while I shop. I ordered the lava which was actually amazing. My only mistake was getting the tapioca balls(which I paid extra for) they weren't cooked enough and were extremely chewy. And some of them were so undercooked that they were actually dry inside. Taste of the actual smoothie was pretty good but the tapioca balls completely ruined the experience for me. Not sure I'd return to spend another $7 plus tip to not be able to drink it. Giving 3 stars because the place was super clean and the gal that waited on me was super friendly.

Xiaxiao long bao, pork bao, dan dan noodles.

Came here during the first opening and never came because boba was "eh okay" came back 4/17/24 to give it a try again since wife wanted their food. Ordered their pack that came with xiao long bao, pork buns, noodles and drink for $25 Xiao long bao was good. Not the best but good! Pork buns were good. Not the best but good! Dan dan noodles: I've never not liked noodles until this. It was nasty. Boba waffle: Basic boba waffle, was cooked more and dry but must be taken out late. Thai iced tea: I should have known it wasn't going to be good when the lady called it Matcha iced tea. How to tell a good thai iced tea? THE DARKNESS OF THE ORANGE. This was like water and tapioca with a drop of thai tea. The color isn't even there. Packets of store bought thai tea is probably better than this. In my head "You can't really mess up thai tea, So lets just order that" Service was usual. Place wasnt as busy on a hot sunday afternoon Ambiance: Very clean and looked nice. Overall, I wouldn't go here again especially for boba. I'm always at Fred meyer so it's convenient but i'll pass.

I decided to give the Glow Tea location another chance. So I decided to stand in line to try to be the first 50 people to get free boba tea for a year. I got there at the time stated. I guess I ended up being number 70! I still got my BOGO and a bubble waffle. With tip I spent about 13.00 Reason why I lowered the stars was not because I waited in line for over an hour, and didn't get my free boba for a year. It's because the drinks were still watered down, and although the young lady thanked me for being patient in waiting so long for my bubble waffle, it came out overcooked. I've had bubble waffles for years at different boba tea places in different states and Canada. Never had overcooked ones. The good thing is their batter is tasty so I'll give them that. The first time I went during the soft opening, today was the grand opening. The husband and wife owners were working hard in the back with three of their crew, and the district manager was out front having us in line spin the wheel to win a prize. It was nice to see the community put in full force for the grand opening. I hope this mom and pop survives. I won't say I'll never come back again, I might just come once in a while to show my support. Plus if you bring back your bulb drink container, you get refills for 2.95.

Soft opening right now. The drink is simple and tasty. If you buy the glow cup, your refills are definitely good deal. They are still training people. Made a mistake on my drinks and forgot to put the fruits inside but the young lady corrected the mistake next time I stopped by. The bubble waffle is my childhood snacks. It is not the exact same kind but not bad. I would definitely go back for refills. Where can you even get a sweet drink around $3 these days right? and hopefully by that time the staff are getting familiar with making the drinks.

I happened to be in the area and was craving some milk tea. Very creamy and delicious. I ordered a taro milk tea and my husband got the brown sugar milk tea, and both were very delicious. Not too sweet or watered down

I knew about this place from the auburn mall and was super happy to see their soft opening when I went to Fred Meyer. Their brown sugar milk tea is so addicting and reminds me of awesome cereal milk. My husband likes the coffee milk tea because it's Vietnamese coffee in a bigger size than what you get at restaurants. I'm really excited to try their cute macaroons too. Staff is super friendly which is always a plus. Lots of fun toppings to choose from!

My family was visiting Seattle from Vancouver. We saw this newly opened bubble tea shop while driving to a friend's home. My wife grabbed a fruit tea, I ordered a milk tea for myself, and the kids liked bubble waffles very much. The tastes of the drink and food were great. We were glad to find this place and will visit again for sure!

Their bulb tea that you can come back with for cheaper refills! And there is a light on the bottom
Ashley P.

Nice to see Covington expanding their selection and the extra purchase of their bulb cup makes revisiting worth it, as the refills are cheaper. The drinks are made pretty quickly and taste good!

Got to try glow tea for the first time and it was good! I got the mango flavored smoothie. I gave this a 8/10 because there's nothing too special about this place besides their cups that light up. Had lots of cool photo areas though

See all

The bobas are great but too expensive. Also the music playing was very inappropriate and I couldn't bring my younger children in with me.

Overall drinks here are pretty decent, even back when I first came here in 2023. This location is…read moreat a plaza that also has its own parking lot with surprisingly limited parking. There's many tables in the back here, and it feels very casual and perfect for some nightly hangouts with friends or, in this case, a card game afternoon with a friend. I ordered through a kiosk near the front counter, while my friend ordered up at the counter itself. Server there was helpful with some of the modifications he wanted on his drink. I got their Oreo milk tea with 50% sweetness and ice levels. Nothing too special here, just tons of crushed Oreo bits and your regular oolong tea base, perfect for keeping me full the rest of the day. 50% sweetness was enough; any more and the drink would have been too much. There's also a backdrop where you can take photos of or with your drinks if you'd like. Place was decent in terms of cleanliness; some tables were a little dirty but we still had a good time here.

Ordered online; drinks was ready within 10 mins (ordered 6 drinks on a Sunday and 5 on a Tuesday)…read more Lots of variety!! We got smoothies, coffee, fruit tea, mango sago drinks... Boba is soft and chewy Mango sago drink was pricey at $9.50 but surprisingly tasted really good (no artificial taste; right amount of mango and coconut taste) I was also impressed in my online order I wrote a note that I wanted one smoothie with "no milk, just slush" and that's exactly how it came!- a lot of places don't seem to acknowledge customer notes... Inside was really cute, a little dim so it felt relaxing. But times I went it was pretty inside (went within 3 days cause it was so good and my friends really liked their drinks too!)

I came here with my boyfriend for dinner, we hadn't eaten anything all day, and we were starving. The place had one other person inside, so we got seated quickly. Upon sitting down, I grabbed utensils from the utensil container, and they were all dirty. I had to rinse them in my water cup and wipe it down before using. I got the regular size Pho Tai for $15~, my bf got the beef teriyaki, extra meat for $20~. I thought it was weird how they also charge extra if you want extra lime or cilantro/onions, I've never seen a pho restaurant do that... My pho was more like a small size compared to other places, with less than an average portion of meat. My meat was tough to chew and dry. The soup was very oily. On top of that, my pho was served with a strand of hair. Thankfully, I saw it before I started eating, our server was kind and brought out a new bowl of pho. However, that was not the only issue; the beef teriyaki was just as underwhelming as my pho. It looked more like a beef stir fry, and the beef was even TOUGHER to chew. I do not recommend this place if you are looking for Vietnamese comfort food.

Pho U plus Burger - On my first visit, i let the owner pick 4me and she chose BBQ Kalbi Plate (Short Rib). It's my personal favorite in a sea of great choices.

Restaurant is clean and spacious, atmosphere was comfortable and had a "feel good" vibe. A little out of our "bubble" but will be willing to travel to this place!

I love the family and community vibes of the place. The actual mom and pop that runs this place are so friendly and welcoming.

I get nervous of restaurants that have way too much in their menu, especially offering too many types of cuisine. This place has pho, bahn mi, Korean ramen, Korean bulgogi plates, Herfy's burgers, milkshakes, bubble tea, fried foods.... . The good news was that their food satisfied our appetites. Great experience that we will be back! This place gives Zippy's (Hawaii) vibes-- quality fast meals IYKYK!
