Honey Lemon Black Tea (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The drink tasted as delicious and refreshing as the ones ordered at other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are inside seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, and street parking is available! Note: There is a single restroom for customers! Photo: Honey Lemon Black Tea

Thai tea, mango shaved ice and mango smoothie with extras.
kimberly C.

Great little place to get a little sweetness after having bcd tofu. We had a mango smoothie - thumbs up from my 12 yr old -got a little extra boba and crystal jelly, Thai tea with boba ( made someone teeth turn a little orange-a little strong to me) and a mango shaved ice. We ordered regular with came in a 16 oz cup- ice on bottom, mango chunks and purée, crystal boba, condensed milk and a small scoop of mango ice cream. We all seemed to enjoy this one. It wasn't too packed at 9:00 p - good seats to enjoy. Best price - it was all less than $15

Not a single fruit bits on the peach strawberry fruit tea.

This is the only location of Boba Time that I went to that does not put fruit bits on their Peach Strawberry fruit tea. In one of the drinks, there was a hair inside the cup. That is disgusting and unacceptable. Just in case you want to order from this place, Please make sure to check your orders before you leave. As for us, we were very disappointed and will not be back in this location.

The drinks we ordered were sweet. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice.

The drinks we ordered were naturally sweet in a good way. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice. $5 for Bottle of Water-- they don't have tap water to spare. $1.25 for Cup of Ice The server was very nice about it but shame on the management.

Pistachio Matcha

Considering this chain has a ton of locations, you'd think it would be more of a slay. I have no idea if all of their locations are like this, but genuinely the best thing about this place was that it's open later than the boba shops around the area. We quite literally had no choice but to come here, and I'm starting to think that opening late compared to competition is the only way they get business. We got (rating): Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (3/5), Strawberry Matcha with Boba (1.70/5), House Milk Tea, Peach Strawberry Tea with Boba (2.5/5), Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (2/5), Pistachio Matcha Milk Tea with Boba (1.50/5) I was so excited to try my pistachio matcha tea because I've never seen that combination be done in any store before. When I tell you I felt INSTANT sadness after that very first sip, I am emphasizing the INSTANT part. The drink itself was so watery it was like matcha flavored water, and the boba only served to make the drink worse by adding this slimy, soft lump of goo to your every sip. Across the board, the drinks were watery. The fruit in the fruit teas didn't shine through and the jasmine in the jasmine milk tea wasn't strong enough. Just super disappointing all around.

this latte didn't taste like coffee at all, and wasn't even hot and steamed properly.

The staff doesn't seem to know how to do the job properly. I ordered a coffee, but they didn't even know how to make it, which was quite surprising. The boba also seemed old. Please make sure to provide proper training, or hire someone who is more experienced.

No complaints I always get a tasty drink out of here every time. It's a reliable spot for good boba drinks, you know what you're pretty much getting out of each and every location. This location stays open pretty late so any late night boba cravings for me this is where I'm most likely going to.

Lavender Milk Tea
Lele Y.

3.5 stars rounding down Visited out of convenience since it's open until 11pm and in the same plaza with bunch of eateries~ Hangari kalguksu, Sun Nong Dan Lavender Milk Tea- ok but not amazing, but other drinks could be better so might try something else next time No sugar/ ice adjustments Staff was nice

a table and chairs in a coffee shop
Jonathan D.

Boba good. Music good. Deserts good. Happy to spend money here . Usually pretty quick, spacious lobby, cute lights outside. Macarons are super cute addition. Crew is always pleasant

Just like any other Boba time, great boba place. Sometimes it gets too busy here and the drinks may take quite some time, but quality is consistent. Good place to go after eating from the restaurants in the plaza. All the drinks are good, would recommend just the regular milk tea if you aren't feeling too adventurous. I got a strawberry flavored drink and it was good. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a good spot for boba.

When I asked to use it, I was told it required a key and that nobody had one. Hard to believe these employees work all day without a bathroom! If you provide a customer restroom, management should ensure employees can actually unlock it during business hours. RESPONSE TO THE OWNER: Your reply explains who maintains the restroom, but it doesn't address why I was denied access. The shared plaza restrooms are directly outside Sunright's rear glass door clearly visible and only a step away. Your employee told me the restroom required a key and that nobody had one. Obviously, Sunright's employees must use a restroom somewhere during their shifts, so who provides them access? Saying plaza management maintains the restrooms doesn't explain why nobody working at Sunright supposedly had a key or why it couldn't be provided to a paying customer. That feels like a dodge rather than an explanation.

Valet is available in the alley, which is the more convenient option. -Ordering & Wait Time: Orders are placed through a kiosk, which makes the process quick and easy. We received our drinks within about 5 minutes. -Seating: There are a few chairs lined up for customers to sit while waiting, but it's mostly a grab-and-go setup. -Menu & Options: There's a solid selection of drinks, with customization options for sweetness, ice level, and toppings--pretty standard compared to most boba shops. -Drinks: The drinks were good, but nothing particularly stood out. Quality is on par with other boba places. -Overall: A convenient spot to grab a sweet drink after dinner in the area. Not especially unique, but reliable if you're craving boba.

Every visit was the same: "Sorry, we're sold out." I started wondering if these mochis were real or just an urban legend. I had better odds of finding a shiny Pokémon than seeing them in the display case. I finally got them and they were absolutely worth the hunt. If you're after the Pikachu or Hello Kitty mochi, be prepared. Bring patience, good timing, and maybe a little luck. Gotta catch them before everyone else does!

I recently moved to the area and became obsessed with this place, coming 2 to 3 times a day for the Eclipse drink. Last night (10/12/2026), the young female working the counter completely ruined that for me with her nasty, standoffish attitude. She didn't greet me, stayed in the back, and only came out with an immediate attitude when I asked to pay with cash, snapping that they had no change. When I asked to enter my rewards number, she refused and told me to use the kiosk. The worst part was the blatant double standard. Another customer was struggling to order, and this employee immediately offered her kind assistance and made her drink on the spot before she even paid. Meanwhile, she made me wait until my payment cleared, made it obvious she dreaded serving me, and then made my drink wrong. I paid for extra boba, and when I pointed out it was missing, she complained and hesitated to fix it. I finally had to just ask for it on the side. She didn't apologize once and literally rolled her eyes at me and said " I put extra boba" but it was evident she didn't. Management needs to address this--treating a loyal, daily customer like garbage is a fast way to lose business.

With delicious boba and such attention to detail, you can't deny that there's a reason this place has remained open throughout the years. The drinks really do speak for themselves, making it a great testament to the quality they continuously serve. Granted; it is a small Korean owned business so everything they do is with pride and care! I love coming here on a hot summer day/night because the boba is very chewy and delicious! I usually get the passion fruit slush, I am very picky with sweetness and the texture of the slush... at boba time I find it annoying to make modifications to my liking. However, at I love boba, the passion fruit slush (with boba) is made perfectly that there is no need to adjust the sweetness level or the thickness of the slush! When I take my first sip of my cold slush on a hot summer day, it automatically makes me feel refreshed! The taste of the passion fruit slush is just right! It's amazing, fresh, tangy, crisp and overall refreshing! I like to come here and avoid the big crowds, it's always great to find that hole in the wall dessert spot and this is it! Major bonus points because there is plenty of parking throughout the day and night! I would definitely recommend going here for the perfect slush! But BEWARE you might become addicted like me! Haha!
