    F3. Winter Melon Tea, D4. Guava Fruit Tea
    Chau P.

    I love coming to i-tea. They're one of my favorite boba places in the area due to their variety. Their drinks tends to be on the sweet side so I usually adjust the sweetness to 50%. Their food here is also amazing. I love their calamari here. It's not overly batter, great portion, and delicious. They are super nice as well. There is plenty of seatings and they open until 10 pm!

    Chicken curry, beef tendon with ramen noodles, and tonkatsu ramen
    Nancy V.

    My friends and I decided to eat here since our first choice was closed on Tuesdays. It was about 630pm and we were the only customers here. We ordered the durian shake (good amount of sweetness and real durian fruit and some pulp), mango shake, and other seasonal drinks. My friend ordered the shoyu based ramen, chicken katsu curry, and I got the beef noodle soup with noodles. There we're only one person assisting and the chef making the meals. The food came within a good amount of time and the chef personally brought it over. I can tell by the presentation that he put alot of dedication to each dish. I was quite shocked at how delicious all 3 of our meals were as I thought it would be average tasting dishes. Man was I wrong! It wasn't just a regular ramen soup or regular katsu curry. I adored the curry dish and broth from that tonkatsu ramen! The chicken was light and crispy and a decent portion of meat ontop. The shoyu broth was so savory and full of umami flavor. My beef tendon was alright. The tendon could've been cooked 20 min longer and big chunks of tendon could've been cut smaller but it was okay to eat too. I would def come back again! I-Tea is a bit hidden and on Stockton Blvd so there's lots of good eatings around that area, but I hope yall give this restaurant a try and support these small business! :)

    B3. Milk Tea with Grass Jelly and C3. Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and Y1 Basil Popcorn Chicken
    Terri S.

    the drinks were refreshing and had the right amount of sweetness! The popcorn chicken and our drinks came out quickly, and the chicken had a good crunch and good flavor. The cashier was nice and quickly got our order down. I got the milk tea w/ grass jelly 80% sweet and my friend got the oolong milk tea. Lots of seating inside, and it was fairly slow on this Friday night.

    Lots of parking. Very spacious inside. Lots of indoor seating. Food isn't great, but I'd definitely come for the drinks and appetizers. I'm a big fan of their Basil Popcorn Chicken and their Mango Sago drink. The fries are ok. A bit pricey. The wait time is a bit ridiculous, so I'd only come if you have a lot of time to kill. This wasn't my first time here and won't be my last.

    Y1 Basil Popcorn Chicken
    Jenny C.

    I only ordered the basil popcorn chicken so I can't attest to the boba/drinks here, but this is probably one of the best popcorn chicken I've ever had. I've had this at the Davis Itea location and thought I would come to the South Sac to try-- it is just as good! I love Itea's popcorn chicken because it's juicy, has a crunchy but not dry batter, and it is perfectly seasoned with fried basil. Bonus they add in garlic chunks and have an amazing ranch. It is a little pricy, but you get a lot of chicken in 1 order, enough food to fill up 1 hungry adult. The plaza is a little small/run down but the interior has a lot of seating. Would 10/10 come back again for the chicken!

    It was my first time coming to this location. I've been to the one in San Jose many times when I used to work in the area. But at this location, I was surprised to see it empty. The place looked very big but with no bodies inside it. I'm not sure if I just came at an off time and it's supposed to get busy in the evening (it did say that they close at 12am). My favorite thing about this place is the quality of the drink and also the pricing. It's very comparable to San Jose's prices. I got the 3G (milk tea with boba, grass jelly and pudding) all for $5.75, with tax it came to $6.40 something. Their menu is similar to San Jose's for which I'm grateful. Im glad they don't hike up the prices bc it's Sacramento. The only thing I'd suggest is the cleanliness/smell of the place. It doesn't smell clean. The restroom also needed a lot of attention- there was no soap, the dispenser was broken, urine was all over the seat and the floor and it had a very strong vinegar/chemical smell. The place is located along Florin so it's not the best spot but I'd suggest to make it at least smelling clean and inviting. The workers except for 1 seemed friendly. Overall, I give them a 4 for the quality of drinks. Maybe they can also have some games like other boba places.

    They have the best basil popcorn chicken and im ready to die on a hill about it! It's juicy, crunchy, and seasoned perfectly.

    Such a hidden gem! They have so many different types of snacks, and actual menu items such as udon, curry, noodles, fried oysters. I've gotten their fried oysters, Takoyaki, popcorn chicken and calamari before. I like how their calamari's aren't the ring which makes more sense why it's on the pricier end. Love the Takoyaki too. My all time favorite drink & the reason I go there is their black tea Oreo creamy! It's like an Oreo shake w black tea. So yummy. The service is great too. I usually call ahead and it's always ready by the time I get there. It's super spacious inside too! Would recommend this spot :)

    H7. Hass Avocado Smoothie

    Came in on a Thursday night returning for our second time. Really nice and comfortable energy and noise level inside. Lots of options and we were served pretty quickly. We ordered calamari, mozzarella sticks, basil chicken, and potato croquettes. With a hass avocado smoothie and mango sago to pair. Boba was fresh and soft. Calamari may have taken the crown for best calamari in sac for me rn. Strongly seasoned, very tender and meaty serving. Basil chicken was also really good. Nicely cooked and very crispy. The potato croquettes went really well with all the other meaty bites. Crispy panko exterior and a softly seasoned mash inside with some mix veg. Tasted great chasing either of the others.

    Worst bubble tea place. The person working there is a young lady, and she was extremely rude. (She looked like she really didn't even want to work there. Maybe she is the daughter of the owner?). My wife waited in the car with our baby--she told me to go inside the store and order something non-dairy. When I went in to ask the staff, she refused to help me find drinks that are non-dairy. She just pushing--what do you want? what do you want? Almost like she is in a huge hurry. But the store was empty! The whole time I was there, nobody else was there except for me. So why are you rushing me instead of helping? Finally she mentioned a drink number (M1 or something like that). When I look for that number M1 in the menu, it was very hard to find because the menu is not in alphabetical order. I am sure M1 is very obvious to her because she works there, but it is not obvious to me. On top of that she kept rushing me to make an order NOW NOW NOW, while I kept looking for M1 in the menu. "M1,C3, A9 sir. What do you want to order? What do you want to order?" After we ordered, I found out my drink is very poorly made. I ordered an iced lemon tea. As you can see in my photos, the lemon was not cut into slices! She just threw half a lemon in there because she was too lazy to cut it. When my friend saw the whole lemon he laughed like crazy. If you don't want to work there, then don't work there. It's not my fault that you are forced to work at a place where you don't want to work. I am just a normal guy, I did not force you to be there, I am not the cause of your misery. I am just trying to buy some bubble tea, I am innocent. Why are you putting your frustration on me? Wow, what a terrible place.

    My drinks just sitting there but no one there to call my number.

    Lousy ass customer service. I came in when it wasn't busy, ordered after a family of 5 who got their drinks in 10 minutes. After I ordered quite a few people came in but I expected 3 simple drinks to come relatively quick. Two people who ordered AFTER me (including one that order two food items) received their drinks and food BEFORE ME. I walk up to ask them about it and just see my drinks sitting there but no one calling my number. I waited 25 goddamn minutes for these drinks. I will not be coming back.

Not sure if they take reservations, but we arrived around 30 minutes after opening. A short wait for the table to be ready for the big group. Parked at DOCO East and was an easy walk. They don't validate parking though. To share we tried some of their crispy brussels sprouts (mint, cashew, chili caramel) and pickle plate (kimchi, veggies). This visit I got the Mushroom Paitan ramen which had: rich cashew cream, pork belly chashu, half ajitama, shimeji mushrooms, negi onions. The seasoned egg was good, though I wish you got more than just one half of it as default. The broth was rich and the pork was great. The noodles were thin but firm I also tried their Kodaiko Palmer drink (nonalcoholic), which had earl grey and another Japanese tea profile. The other special mocktail was a sparkling/spiced cranberry lemonade. If you're not into pork they have chicken ramens and soupless styles too. If you're not into noodles they also have salads, donburi rice bowls and sandos. It was a bit loud of an environment (music) to hear each other, but then again we were at a long table/large group. Service was wonderful.

I thought ramen places were supposed to be a lot quicker. Apparently you're supposed to order the karasge chicken here. We did not unfortunately. I don't know what kinds of ramen these people have had before, but the three we tried seemed more experimental than anything else. Also, we both threw up upon arrival at home. Maybe it was bad luck with what we ordered or something but not going to give it our usual 2nd chance because of the area. DOCO is getting ghetto fabulous. Lastly, the food can look pretty but first and foremost it needs to taste good. Arugula is an...interesting addition to ramen. I'll leave it at that.

I got the black ramen garlic which came with the usual toppings: roasted pork chashu , corn, green onions, bean sprouts, soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and actual fried garlic. The whole garlic cloves were plentiful and so much flavor. The description says fried, but they are so buttery soft, they taste more like they've been roasted or baked in the oven. I will 100/100 always order this ramen. Very flavorful broth. My husband got the chicken ramen, which I tasted, and it too had a flavorful broth. You choose your spicy level. I got medium which was basically mild. The portion and price make this a great deal for a quick dinner in Midtown. I love the late hours and the speed of which our food came out. We ordered the geso (fried squid) and the veggie tempura. I do not recommend the tempura. The batter was thick like carnival onion rings. They need to use panko for breading. The geso was ok, and served with an aioli sauce. Stick with the ramen. No need to waste stomach space on their appetizers. The right half of the restaurant is for Ramen 101, and the other side is for Orchid Thai. You order at the counter and get a number, find a seat. The servers came around and checked on us and helped us with any requests. The nice ambiance from the Thai side carried over to the Ramen side, but both casual.

The time from when it's made and time where it's served is too long. That is why the fish is warm by the time it got to us.
