    Popcorn Chicken

    Love the food here. Popcorn Chicken with sauce is nice! Wait is around 5-10 minutes. They are nice guys that worked in the counter on Saturday.

    Happy Lemon is my favorite boba tea chain and their milk tea products are always tasty and reliable. We used to go to HL location in Cupertino all the time until it closed down. Unlike those milk tea chains in valley fair using non dairy creamer and charging extra for cow milk, HL keeps it simple and stupid by defaulting to real 100% whole milk. The products taste creamy and wholesome. Came to this shop in the area recently, liked my usual Jasmine Green milk with boba and service was good. Sitting there felt like an old friend coming home. I hope they continue to stay in business and not to be further squashed by competition.

    5 stars Great spot for a quick drink fix! The drinks are consistently fresh and well-made. Staff is friendly and the service moves fast, which I appreciate. The Fresh Lemon Green Tea is perfectly balanced and refreshing. Small space but it gets the job done. Will definitely be back!

    Happy Lemon is by far the best if not one of the best boba spots out there! This is our go to when in San Jose getting pho.

    Delicious food, scrumptious milk tea, excellent service. What else can be said? Five stars isn't enough!

    I've been a long time fan of Happy Lemon since first trying it back in 2018. I love their brewed tea with cheese foam & frequently bought it at various SoCal locations. So, would have same expectations in this San Jose branch Unfortunately, it was a let down. I got the classic black tea with cheese foam, but the tea quality was off. It tasted like they used a lower quality Lipton tea bag than the richer, loose-leaf brew I remember. I'm someone who appreciates a bold, well brewed tea, so I can usually tell when the flavor's not there or when cheaper tea is used. Also, I wasn't able to earn points for my purchase, even though I scanned the app before paying. The staff couldn't resolve it. Sadly, this experience doesn't reflect the Happy Lemon I used to enjoy, won't be coming back.

    Welcoming and kind staff! Service was quick and efficient. Drinks taste great and the location has great ambience.

    For this Happy Lemon location, the service from the staff is amazing & they are all super nice and sweet. They have some indoor & outdoor seatings so if you'd like to hang around, you can~ They also offer some sweets & crispy snacks for their food/munchie options. Would definitely recommend for a quick treat or to hang out with some friends, the location is also within Vietnam Town.

If you're looking for a Vietnamese refresher that contains all the toppings your heart could wish for, go lift your spirits at Soyful Desserts! I had to drive up and down the side of the mall to locate Soyful Desserts (the sign was small!), and parking was tight. When I got to the window, it was like being at a walk-up café. A couple of tables and chairs were set out for folks to sit and enjoy their drinks, and a gentle breeze blew down the walk. I ordered the #8 Combination soy pudding drink and waited while the lady made the drink for me. She handed the drink to me with a smile, and I told her that it was beautifully made. Indeed, the drink was beautiful to look at. Spoonfuls and spoonfuls of soy tofu mixed with sweet syrup and Japanese pudding. Layered on top was the green pandan jelly, gelled basil seed, grass jelly, and red bean, all topped with shaved ice. I took my first sip. The soft silken tofu was the main event, very cool and balanced by the creamy pudding and sweet syrup. I lifted my straw higher to pull in more toppings, and the sweet floral pandan landed on my tongue. The grass jelly followed after, tender and al dente. Gelled basil seeds slid past, and I enjoyed their soft crunch between my teeth. The red bean was soft and starchy, with a hint of sweetness that rounded out the cast of toppings. Not too sweet, with a variety of flavors and textures to delight the tongue, my combination drink from Soyful Desserts was a cup of wonder. I found that Soyful Desserts creates joyful desserts, and mine definitely warmed my heart. When I'm craving soy tofu drinks again, I'll be back for more.

But besides that, their popcorn chicken & potstickers are delicious too! (They should definitely add the potstickers as an option on DoorDash as well! ) The drinks are very yummy too! You're able to adjust your sweetness level (30%, 60% and 100%), along with adjusting your ice levels (regular, less or none - with no additional charge). Their toppings are soft & easy to chew, really love their grass jelly topping here~ For my DoorDash experience, I have ordered drinks from here before, and as mentioned earlier, there was no option for their BBQ Tater Tots, which would have been nice to have. However, I would love to thank the staff there because I selected their Jalapeño Cheese Curly Fries before writing in the notes about wanting the Tots instead, along with paying additional bacon (just in case of the price difference), and they were very generous enough to call me immediately to confirm my choices. It was very efficient & it was very sweet of them to go out of their way to make sure.

It does cost a bit more to get it without ice, but we opted for that since I cannot finish it in one sitting and it keeps better in the fridge this way.
