I tried the Formosan breakfast black tea and Metal Goddess Oolong Tea and both were so good! The breakfast black tea had a lighter, more floral note and the metal goddess had a deeper flavor of oolong which I loved. The servers ask you to try the drink before you leave to ensure you enjoy the drink, which is great but also lowkey made me feel kinda pressured to saying I liked it. But I really did like my drinks so it was fine. Overall a great spot for pure tea enthusiasts, since their teas taste freshly brewed. I didn't try their milk teas so I can't say how the milk would affect the flavor of the tea.

That just isn't what I'm looking for on a quick boba run, and I personally prefer all my boba runs to be quick because I know what I want. So the back-and-forth at the register and again at pickup, is extremely unnecessary. I usually order two drinks at once anywhere I go, and here, each time they walked me through which one was which and asked if I wanted to try it before I left. Honestly, it's really annoying. The tea itself is good, and that's what keeps me coming back, but the back-and-forth has actually made me think twice about stopping by lately. If you love chatting with your baristas and learning about what you're sipping, you'll probably enjoy this place. If you're on a time crunch or don't feel like interacting with anyone and just want a quick in-and-out, avoid at all costs.

I got their Tropical Smash drink and this drink is so refreshing. you can really taste the tea in the drink and its not just full syrup.

I remember really enjoying their drinks, so when I happened to be in the area, I figured I'd give them another try. I'm glad I did! This location had a much more welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The self-ordering kiosk was easy to navigate, making the ordering process quick and convenient. We ordered two drinks, and both tasted great! The avocado & strawberry smoothie was definitely the highlight! It was delicious, refreshing, and easily my favorite of the two. My only complaint is the pricing. Almost every drink on their menu seems to be more expensive than what you'd typically pay at other tea shops. While the drinks are good, I'm not entirely sure the higher prices are justified. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with delicious drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. I wouldn't mind coming back, especially for the avocado & strawberry smoothie, but I do wish their prices were a little more competitive.

The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink). Overall, I would highly recommend this drink shop to anyone in the area looking to get a refreshing beverage!

I mean the line is out the door, no matter the day or time, and it's especially bad at night. So I figured there had to be a day and time where we could finally check it out, and I'm glad we did. The servers were all extremely sweet, and they gave us their insight on what the best drinks were and what we should try, so we went with what they recommended. The drinks were good, but I wasn't blown away. I got the Matcha Omomo since that's what the place is named after, so I figured why not. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, all the drinks were gorgeous, with a lot of color and super pretty. But the flavor just didn't live up to the anticipation of that long line and seeing so many people go here. I was expecting a 10 out of 10, or at least a flavor that made me go wow, now I understand why everybody's waiting. I don't know if we got the wrong thing, but we ordered what they suggested, and it just didn't hit that level. My wife got the watermelon green tea and said it was nothing crazy, and she didn't even finish it. Not to say what they have isn't good, it just wasn't special enough to make us want to come back. For a line that takes maybe 40 minutes to order and get a drink, I was looking for more of a wow factor and I didn't get it. It was good for what it was, and that's honestly all I can say about it.

It was frustrating since at least 10 people "cut" the line to join their friends who saved their spot. There's a screen inside that displays which orders are ready, so that was very helpful in gauging how long I had to wait. Seating is limited inside. What I got: -pistachio cloud coconut jasmine: This drink surprised me. It's very light and smooth drink, and refreshing with the coconut water as the base. The pistachio cloud on top provides a slightly nutty flavor but complements the jasmine tea mixed in the coconut water. In the future I would preorder on the app because the line is not worth it.

Good luck trying to get in on a weekend. I happen to be in the area on a weekday afternoon. There wasnt a line so I figured I would check it out. First of all, the moment you walk in, you are met with the most refreshing fruit scent. I dont know how they do it but I like it. Anyways, first time here so I just clocked what everyone else was ordering and got the same thing. I think it was called mango boom. Even with barely any line and maybe 4-5ppl in front of me waiting, it maybe took about a good 10-15 min to get my drink. Not a big deal. The person taking my order gave me a heads up too. I noticed while I was waiting, other ppl walked in to pick up their order. I'm guessing there is a way to order online or on an app or something. When I got got my drink though, I really thought it was soooo mid. And I know this is probably blasphemy because this place has some sort of cult following from my understanding, but I really didn't get the hype. Maybe if someone can recommend me another drink I would be willing to try it but as of now, I'm kind of glad it didn't work out for me because you will never see me in those long lines.

The interior is like any modern milk tea shop with nice big signs of their drinks, an ordering tablet, and very few chairs and table on the right side. I went in and ordered their sesame milk tea.

Plenty of outdoor seating, though the tables are a bit dusty. One self-order kiosk inside or order at the register. Their Taiwanese popcorn chicken is one of the best imo, with generous portions and a choice of white or dark meat. It's a bit pricey, but well-seasoned. The spicy version is pretty mild, and the original is just as good. I also tried the seasonal nori fish sandwich, which sounded interesting but was pretty mid. Basically a Filet-O-Fish with a drier bun. The nori is mostly for show, but the fish itself has a nice, hearty texture. Their milk tea is decent, but with so many options out there, it's not a go-to.

The menu is extensive, with lots of foam and boba choices. They give you a few tea choices and specialize in fresh tea. I loved my barley boba milk tea. However, there are a few not so great aspects of this boba place. The parking is always a hassle. It is so impersonal. They have designed the place to eliminate any human interactions between the employees and the customers. If you follow me, you know this is a huge pet peeve for me. Employees have become machines, not having to talk to anyone. It is the dehumanizing of our society. You order on a Kiosk and it's all numbers. They do not "ASK" for your name. When your drink is ready, your NUMBER flashes on a screen and a text is sent to you! Just like they do at the DMV. What have we come to? Can you imagine working for eight hours making drinks and not say one word to anyone? And the kicker? They ask you for a tip!! The choices are $1, $3, $5. Why would I give a tip for doing nothing? She doesn't even know my name? I asked for my receipt because I noticed my drink was more than $8.00. I don't remember giving a tip?? The nice employee explained that the default is $1.00 If you do not manually type in "0" then everyone gets charged an extra dollar. Is this legal? Wow, how convenient for the shop owner? That is an extra few thousand dollars a day. I was not happy with this place.

For almost $17 for two drinks, I expected much better quality. I couldn't even finish the drinks and ended up throwing both of them away. If you're stopping by because of the Snoopy collaboration, the drinks are definitely photogenic. But if you're looking for good matcha, I personally don't think this place is worth it.

Very disappointed by Wushiland today around 3:30 p.m…read more When I received my drink, I immediately noticed that it looked like I had received about half the amount of QQube toppings I usually get. Whenever I order from Wushiland, the toppings typically reach around the part of the cup where the word "boba" is printed. Today, there was noticeably less. I politely mentioned to the staff that I frequent Wushiland and that they typically put much more QQube in my drinks. The staff member told me they put one scoop of toppings and that they had done that for my drink. While I understand that there may be a standard serving size, it was frustrating to hear this, especially as a loyal customer who has several photos of my previous Wushiland drinks showing significantly more toppings. I also had another frustrating experience while my drink was being made. I could hear the staff discussing that they were starting to run out of the drink I ordered. Instead of letting me know, they added more ice to my drink, even though I specifically ordered it with less ice. I would have much rather been informed that they were running low so I could decide whether I wanted to make a different selection. I'm not sure if this was an issue with the staff working today or if something was different because of the Labor Day holiday, but the overall experience was very upsetting. I'm especially disappointed because I've had several positive experiences at Wushiland in the past and have always enjoyed coming here. Now I'm pissed and going to Heytea.
