Best spot for the classic Taiwanese popcorn chicken with freshly fried basil. My favorite, and the people who work there are always so nice

Does take some time, waited about 10 minutes for my order. Plenty of basil pieces and the chicken had great crunch. The flavor had some spice and it was not too salty. The milk tea drinks were not the best, need a better tea flavor. The tapioca pearl had great chew though. I wish there was a table since there is plenty of space for seating. Overall, I would come back to get basil popcorn chicken.

I wanted a milk tea because the ones I was making at my father's house were not cutting it. I…read moredecided to check out Mew Tea. I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

Mew Tea…read morelooked cute and inviting from the outside, and the cafe really leans into the adorable cat theme. The menu seemed pretty standard with classic milk and fruit teas with a few seasonal specialties. We placed our order at the kiosk and waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only customers in the shop. I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.

Came in on a weekday in the afternoon. It was really hot inside, not sure why even though it was…read moreonly 70 degrees outside. Drinks were prepared pretty fast and we didn't have to wait long. We ordered: 1. Milk tea with mini pearls @ 50% sweet - 3.5/5, not too bad of a drink. Tasted like how I first had my milk tea many years ago. Not the best, not the worst. If you just want a basic milk tea, this drink suffices. 2. Taro milk tea @ 50% sweet and less ice - 3/5, powder taro milk tea. It tastes exactly how I remember for a simple taro milk tea drink. Very heavy on the powder, but not too sweet. Overall, if you are looking for a nostalgic experience of your first boba milk tea drink, this is the place!

You can tell they use good ingredients, and the texture was super smooth--perfect for a warm day. Service was friendly and pretty efficient, even though it looked a bit busy. The overall vibe feels casual and comfortable, a nice place to just grab something and go or chill for a bit. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish the flavor had a little more depth or customization options, but overall still a solid choice. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

I thought the tea was super refreshing, and the jelly especially had a very good texture. Boba was average. It's a very small shop, it's basically just a register right as you walk in. The service is good. Don't be scared of the rating or the expansive menu! This place is well worth it.

I have been coming to this boba shop for yearssss. From when they first opened till now. It's never…read morebeen a top drink place, however it was not bad at all. When they got popular because of the mango sago, I think that was their prime lol. It was many years ago now when you can still sit inside. A few weeks ago, I ordered a mango pomelo slushy type of drink. It's photographed on the huge outside bestseller sticker. It is pictured as a bright mango colored slush with pomelo. When I got the drink it was a brown tan color like how a bruised mango would look. And when I drank it.... It was bland and rotten at the same time. I have no idea how something that tasted like nothing can be bad lol. I went back immediately so they can understand I didn't do anything to the drink. And the I asked if their frozen mango went bad somehow and a young guy from the back of the kitchen said "we used new syrup, I just opened it!" The main cashier seemed more professional and was trying to understand what was wrong and I explained to him politely that it tasted so bad. He let me switch my drink to the peach milk tea which was much better. I paid for an expensive drink but left with something cheaper which whatever not end of world but come on. I still went back a few weeks later and ordered a few drinks this time. I read out the FULL GOVERNMENT NAME for the drinks (2 peach drinks and a matcha Oreo) and the older lady said ok and when I ordered the 2nd peach drink she RUDELY said "yes I already put that in." So I told her I wanted 2 peach drinks, both different names. She then proceeded to say, "just tell me what you want and I'll put it". Now I'm like what... I just did, I told her 2 completely different drinks. Also, she knows I'm right outside bc she gave me the first 2 drinks out of 3 and doesn't give me the third drink. I had to ask her twice if she can give it to me. Maybe she somehow forgot after taking my order 10 minutes ago. Anyways I think she's the owner. lol. Been supporting this place for years, wish the inside can be spacious again. They use the whole place as an inventory for their multiple shops on Irving I'm pretty sure. Pleas take care of this location, I used to love it.
