Since they've opened here, I've been to several different locations and the standards of drinks are consistent. Each bubble tea place is known for one or two recommended popular drinks. At Jenjudan you need to get their brown sugar pearl drinks. The brown sugar pearl milk is the standard, and it's a solid option and you are able to substitute soy milk at no charge! This allows those who are lactose intolerant to try brown sugar pearls :) The pearls are not too sweet (and sugar level is adjustable, which is not possible at most other places) and have a good chewy texture. The milk is well milk, but it pairs well as you stir the pearls to flavour it. I prefer the brown sugar pearl milk at Xingfutang as its not straight milk and creamier. My favourite drink here though is the Thai tea brown sugar pearls as I like that little extra tea flavour mixed together with the milk and pearls...Yum!
We ordered four drinks during my second visit here. All of them were mild and didn't have much tea flavour. Everyone in our group was disappointed. Even the Oreo drink did not taste as good this time around. I had initially thought the lack of flavour issue was due to the Thai Tea drink itself, but after this second visit, it seems to be the case for the majority of their drinks (at least currently). Now that I've tried a larger sample of their drinks, I can't recommend this location and will give them another shot at a later point in time to see if they've improved.
Jenjudan 珍煮丹 is the newest Taiwanese bubble tea chain to enter the Vancouver brown sugar pearl scene. I visited Jenjudan 珍煮丹 for the first time a couple of weeks ago at their Richmond location. I loved my drinks that I decided to give them a revisit at their Burnaby Kingsway location! The store front is similar to the Richmond location. There isn't any seating inside the cafe but there are bar tables. I assume that there are normally chairs there but they were removed due to the pandemic. The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the cafe was the big wall of tea! They have a real menu but you can select your teas by looking on the wall too!
Jenjudan (珍煮丹) is a popular Taiwanese bubble tea shop. It developed its signature brown sugar recipe, and it specialized in "brown sugar pearls". We have finally made our move to try it. We ordered two of their favourite drinks (Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea 黑糖珍珠鮮奶茶 and Thai Brown Sugar Pearl Milk tea 泰泰珍珠鮮奶茶) at its Kingsway location. We have high expectations, but it was a very disappointing experience. We ordered with 50% sweetness, and the sugar level was met our standard. Unfortunately, the pearls were extremely poor. It was lack of gumminess and lack of the caramelized brown sugar flavour. Drink: 2/5 Optional Service: 3/5 Kids: 2/5 A-OK for kids. Price: 1/2 Less than $20 for two (Drinks only) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 1/5 Tips: *has hot or cold drink selections. *can decide own sugar and ice levels. Would I Return: No
Known for being a healthier bubble tea options and using only natural ingredients, Jenjudan is specializing in brown sugar bubble tea drinks. After seeing a BOGO promotion on Ubereats, I have decided to give this place another try. Previously, I went to Jenjudan for their other drinks but I was never a fan of their milky drinks. I tried their Thai Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Pearl Milk. I found their milk is not as creamy as I wanted it to be, so it was a deal-breaker for me. This time, I decided to try their Original Taiwanese Flavors; Winter Melon Tea with Brown Sugar Pearls. I was trully amazed by the quality of the tea and the pearls! The tea has strong winter melon taste, and the pearls were chewy and cooked to perfection. On another note, I think 50% sugar is too sweet for me, I will get 25% next time! Recommended!
I think this is one of my top 3 fav bbt places right now in Vancouver!!! was not disappointed, I have come here a few times already since landing here. I love the Thai milk tea! I never got good Thai milk tea in Toronto unless I was at a restaurant and even then it is rare, sometimes ya girl just wants the drink with some sweet pearls and here it is ! ^_^ Sometimes late at night, I don't want anything milky so I'll opt for a tea instead! This chrysanthemum tea was delish! Good balance of refreshing and sweetness. I will definitely be coming back here time and time again.
Very disappointed......it is not jenjudan at all. Milk tastes very plain and pearls are too sweet...
A new addition to bubble tea places in the Joyce area. Known for their brown sugar drinks and in particular they're Thai brown sugar milk tea. Jenjudan is definitely one of the better options for brown sugar bubble tea. I suggest getting 70% sugar or lower as 100% is way too sweet. I really like their brown sugar milk as the pearls had a good syrup to them and were chewy. I also had a and green tea latte macchiato which I also loved since the tea quality was strong the the cream was slightly sweet and just different. I enjoyed the Thai milk tea as well but its a little misleading as it definitely does NOT taste like real Thai tea. The tea isn't strong and just taste more sweet than anything else, not bad though. On average the drinks cost $6-$7 per drink so more on the expensive side.
I really enjoyed the Thai Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea flavour as well as the Oreo Brown Sugar Milk Tea. They are so flavourful and creamy. I have yet to try other drinks they have available.
I find this location really inconsistent compared to the others. The brown sugar pearls here don't taste sweet nor have any brown sugar flavour. Mind you they charge $1 for "brown sugar pearls". The Thai Milk Tea is my "go to" drink, which I have tried at the Vancouver Downtown and Richmond locations. The one I got here had no brown sugar flavour like they forgot to add sugar to the pearls. In addition, I usually get my drink without sugar and this one my bf bought me was supposed to be 50% sweet. However, I didn't find it very sweet.
Ordered the black sugar winter melon with grass jelly. It was really good and refreshing . Glad it was 2 for 1 because for 11.22 it would have been expensive for one drink . The store recently changed their name to Truedan. It wasn't busy there for a Friday night . Definitely would come back again. read more
My favourite go-to bubble tea place! Great deals and really kind staff. My go to drink is passion fruit green tea. Ambiance includes really nice asian style decor. I also prefer this location compared to the other Truedan location on Kingsway as I think the drinks are made with more care. read more
The drinks were not bad but it's probably the worst customer service I've experienced in Vancouver. To start of, I overheard the staffs chatting in Cantonese while my group was deciding what to order. Since I also speak Cantonese, I felt that it would be natural for me to order in Cantonese but somehow the staff replied back in English. Once my group finished ordering, she started chatting with the other male staff again in Cantonese. Most places I've been to would reply back in the language I was speaking if the staff also speaks the language, so the way she replied/acted definitely stood out to me as odd or rude (ok, maybe the word rude is a little bit too strong). And as I was ordering, I was told that the drink (fruit yogurt smoothie) I wanted to order would take about 15 - 20 minutes. After I confirmed that we're cool with waiting, the male staff walked over and said actually it would take 30 minutes or longer instead. I end up ordering a Capped Brown Sugar Thai Tea because I had a feeling that the staff didn't want me to order the fruit yogurt smoothie for whatever reason. My assumption is that they didn't want to handle the fruits (?), or else why would ordering other drinks yields in significantly shorter wait-time. Lastly, the male staff turned his back to us as my group was discussing about the wrong sugar level being printed on the cup sticker/label. He actually paused for a few seconds when he heard us talking about it, so I'm pretty sure he knew but he just didn't bother offering us a remake. At this point, I sort of just want to take my drink and leave... especially when I witnessed them telling each other "you go. you do it" when some customers arrived for order pick-ups. Customer service aside, the drinks were great and they do have menu options that are not available in the SoCal Truedan location. read more

The brown sugar pearls here are really good. We tried the Thai milk tea with cheese foam and brown sugar earl grey tea. The latter is a great option if you don't want milk in ur bbt. Since it's still covid19 season rn, they have closed off their dine in area. Pick up and delivery is still available. They also have many different locations so you can always find one near you :) read more
