    I saw a TikTok a month or so ago posted by the owners of Jodo Tea saying they recently opened but haven't had much customers. So I commented, asking if they had Thai tea (blended) and they replied they did... So finally being in the area, stopped by today and glad I did! When we walked in, I was glad to see that there were customers and am hopeful service has picked up for them because based on service and product - this is a much needed addition to the area! I, of course, ordered a Thai tea blended drink with brown sugar boba. It was flavorful and blended perfectly - no chunks of ice or undistributed flavor (where all the flavor sinks to the bottom and there's none left once you get towards the end of the drink). The flavor was uniform throughout. My only issue was the drink was overly sweet but being my first time trying, I didn't think to ask for it less sweet but next time I definitely would order at 50% less sweetness. The brown sugar boba were fresh and chewy. Overall, glad Jodo is a little closer to me and in the Tacoma area as my original go to was in Puyallup and that's a far drive just for boba. Definitely recommend and would be back to try other drinks!

    First time here today, as this was on my list of places to check out! The store is in an unassuming strip mall right by Starbucks on 72nd and where Hosmer ends. But more accurately in between Angle nails and Edible Arrangements. Parking can get a little difficult since it can be a high traffic area, but there are a few dedicated spots for 15 min parking so you can grab and go. The drinks were pretty good! I love places that let you choose the ice and sugar levels. The staff was super friendly and the store was clean. Go get your Jodo on! Peep the menu below and give it a try!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! All I can say is the vibe is there and the drinks are good. It's small and quant but it's fairly new so it will take some time to get there. I have never really stayed in store too long and usually take my drinks to go so I'm not really a good judge for that. They also have a new system that allows you to order without talking to anyone, if you're introverted. Their TikToks are funny and that's also what keeps me going, granted I've been going here since they've opened so I've loved them from the start.

    Great new boba spot in Tacoma! I was super excited to try this place out and made an appearance for the grand opening. The overall vibe is a casual and modern ambiance. Nicely decorated with minimalistic design. The cashier that took my order, Anna, was very friendly and helpful. Customer service is nothing short of amazing here. I ordered the sunset refresher with lychee jelly and classic milk tea and they both tasted great! Such good flavors. The sunset refresher was, in fact, very refreshing and flavorful. The milk tea had a nice taste with a subtle, yet delicious black tea flavor. The boba tasted super fresh with great texture. Excited to come here again!

    I wanted some bubble tea, and my cousin brought me here since it was on our way home, and I haven't tried it yet. I got the Lychee Blossom and the Ruby, and my cousin also got the Lychee Blossom. We both got the crystal boba in our Lychee Blossom, and for some reason, it had a weird aftertaste. And the texture of the tapioca was okay. The flavors of the drinks were good. I think it may have been a weird batch for me, and I will probably give it another try.

    Always have a great experience here. I haven't tried all drinks but I know I been here more than once all times I have a great experience. They also started a punch card that allows you to get a free drink once you purchase 9 then your 10th drink is free! Great customer service as well.

    Wanted to check out a new bubble tea spot and saw this near by. Turned out to be a really good spot. Great service and pricing. Nice place to come chill and grab a drink. Drinks are made how you want and the sweetness was just right, boba pearls were nice and chewy. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back to try more flavors on the menu.

    I tried Jodo for the first time and I don't know if it was just a bad batch of drinks or what... but our taro drinks were BITTER... Really unfortunate and disappointing as we paid almost $8 a cup. In addition, one of our drinks had a neon pink dot in the drink (not sure what it was but it definitely wasn't something edible). I won't be coming back because of this poor experience.

    JODO TEA is a cute boba shop. They have a very aesthetic sign for your IG pics too. Drinks are tasty and they even have oat milk for the lactose intolerant and/or vegan community. They also said their milk teas are a non-dairy base. Staff seem friendly. I can see myself going here whenever I'm craving for matcha boba or after/before I visit Wapato Park. Tip: Be mindful when driving to/from the location. Because of the location, it can be hard to leave when it's busy. But I didn't find parking to be a problem when I went in the evening.

    sooo yummy!! the jade is delicious the tapioca is yummy too! definitely added to my boba spots drinks were made fast & the inside has a little claw machine sooo cute

    I came here with family one night to try their tea. They make really good boba and the flavor is delicious. I can't remember exactly what we all got because it was a few months ago but I remember the oreo taro being super good and the taro strawberry I believe. I highly recommend coming here! The interior is also quite cute and chic.

Sample size of one drink each, so take it with a grain of salt. House Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a very basic green milk tea. Tea was slightly floral, not too sweet, and balanced with the milk. Boba was chewy but lacked flavor. Would probably skip boba here in favor of their other drinks like the einspanners. Black Sesame Einspanner - black sesame cream was smooth and the actual black sesame slowly dropped to the bottom, since grounded sesame will result in physical bits. Slightly sweet but not too much. Similar sweetness with the coffee, a solid ca phe with a perfect amount of condensed milk added to soften the bitterness. Solid drink, would love the black sesame on a tea drink because I chugged the coffee and do not need that much caffeine.

    I tried Sol Boba for the first time since I was in the area for some groceries and banh mì…read moresandwiches so I figured I would stop by since it's my personal mission to visit as many boba shops as possible, being the milk tea lover that I am. The shop itself is pretty small with only a few seats and tables and there wasn't any customers present when I first walked in but it has a nice aesthetic going on so I'd imagine it would be an ideal place to chill with friends if you're craving boba; otherwise, nothing wrong with picking up your fave drinks and skedaddling home either. There was just one employee behind the counter when I entered the shop, but it wasn't busy so it was fine and once more people started coming in after me and a line was forming, another employee showed up to help out. The service was actually really good though, and the worker was super nice, quick, and got my order right even though he was solo at first. I ordered three drinks: the taro Oreo slush, coconut matcha latte, and Thai tea (with boba in the last two), and they were all SOOO good. The drinks were super creamy and flavorful, and the boba was made really well. Like soft and chewy, not hard at all. I also got two macarons (a créme brulée and a matcha), and omgoth, they're not the tiny ones you usually see. They're pretty big and thick, which explains the approximate $4.50 price, but they were totally worth it. Definitely suggest trying at least one. Prices overall felt pretty average for boba, not cheap but not crazy either. Oh yeah, I think the drinks only come in one size (I don't recall there being a Small or Large option). There's a lot of parking since it's in an Asian plaza, but it does get really busy because Sol Boba is right next to H Mart, so there was practically no parking in front of the shop and I feel like the spaces are kinda tight. There is banner/sign saying "under new management" at the front, but since this was my first time visiting, I can't really say much on that? Overall though, it was a great first-time experience since the drinks were delish so I will definitely come back!

I don't live nearby, but I ended up grabbing a stamp card, so there's a good chance I'll come back eventually for the drinks alone. I ordered a chrysanthemum tea with boba along with a banh mi. The drink was probably the highlight of my visit since it was super refreshing, flavorful, and made pretty quickly too. Definitely quenched my thirst. The ordering process was a little awkward though. There was one guy working the front and I had a hard time hearing/understanding him at first (maybe he was speaking too quietly?), but it became easier once we switched to Vietnamese. He also didn't seem to recognize the drink I wanted even after I gave the menu number, so I had to point it out on the menu before he could ring it up correctly. I'm guessing he might've been new. The banh mi took longer than expected considering the place was empty, probably because from what I could see, there was only one lady in the back making food. Taste-wise, it was decent but nothing especially memorable for me, and the size felt smaller compared to other places I've ordered from. I think the banh mi only came in one size. Usually, I'd order a Large so maybe that's why this one seems small. There were at least a couple tables inside so I could sit and wait. I still had a good experience though and would come back mainly for the drinks because that chrysanthemum tea was genuinely really good. They have tons of options so I wanna try out their other drinks too.
