    I decided to stop by for some boba after grocery shopping around the area. Inside is super cute and they have a wallflower background for you to take pictures with friends. They have one kiosk for you to order drinks. We ordered an ube latte, strawberry matcha, and fried calamari. Drinks and food were super yummy! Although, food was great, we did not have a pleasant experience with their service. We waited almost 30 minutes for the calamari. We asked and she replied rudely. A few minutes later, she threw a tantrum walking out the work station and basically threw the food on the table. No words exchanged at all and went back to the work area. Not sure if she was having a bad day but that should not be a reason to treat customers like this.

    Taro Coconut Milk Latte W/ Mango

    Tried Le Dessert Lab for dessert and it was great! The store is clean and the staff make each order quickly and with care. There are lots of cute photo op areas in the shop. I got the Taro and coconut latte with mango, and it was well balanced. I wish there was more mango, as it had barely any, but when it was sipped, it made the drink even better. I want to come back and try more options.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a small line that formed behind two kiosks. We quickly ordered and got a mango pomelo sago 50%, ube latte with mango, and avocado smoothie. It's a pink vibe inside with claw machines against the window, so it makes for a pretty photogenic cafe. I got the mango pomelo sago half sweet but it was still quite sweet .

    Mango Milk Latte W/ Matcha Creme

    I got the Mango Milk Latte with Matcha Creme. I got 25% sugar but still found my drink a bit too sweet. Fresh fruit and rich matcha cream. Order was ready fast. Cute interior too. Overall, yummy drink.

    The drinks are good and consistent each time and some of their desserts are really good. They do have some hot snacks (fries, popcorn chicken, calimari, etc) but I don't think they're cooked here. Personally, I would just avoid ordering hot food now. I ordered the popcorn chicken and when nothing came after more than 20 minutes of patiently waiting I checked in with the girls behind the counter. They only said "5 more minutes" and then I watched one of them leave and go across the way to the Hot Pot Nation. She returned empty handed, gave a glance my way, and went back behind the counter quickly. I may have been more forgiving had she just said they had forgotten about my order... Anyway another 10 minutes went by and I saw the same gal leave again. She returned with a brown bag and -oh hey! It's the popcorn chicken! It was ok - at least it was hot and fresh - although a little bit on the batter-full side. Unfortunately not really worth the 30+ minute wait. There's really no greeting when you enter from the staff - maybe once in a while there might be a greeting but I actually have not witnessed this during my visits. Usually they are all busy making drinks so it's straight to the iPad (2 stations) to order and then you sit down and wait. Plenty of seating and very cutesy decorations and great photo op areas on far end of room. Although there lacks a welcoming greeting, the staff are usually pretty friendly when I pick up my order. As I mentioned there is alot of seating to choose from, plus there is free wifi. This tiny mall has spotty service for me (like 0.5 bars everywhere) so it's a great place to stop if I am in the area and need to get on wifi.

    Absolutely love their mango and avocado drinks!

    CUTE CAFÉ WITH BOBA DRINKS AND EATS. AMBIANCE: 5/5 Cute and clean interior. This store is located in the Pacific East Mall, w/ plenty of indoor seating and cute décor and claw toy machines. There are plenty of other stores inside the plaza (such as 99 Ranch, Candy Box, etc.), restaurants (such as Hotpot Nation, Kitchen Asian Pearl Seafood Restaurant, Dumpling Day, Special Noodle, Sichuan Fusion, Kaoru Sushi, etc.), snack spots (such as Happy Lemon, Sheng Kee Bakery, etc.), and Daimo Noodle House plus Tesla Chargers out in the parking lot. SERVICE: 4/5 Ordering is usually quick w/ the option to order at a couple self-service kiosks. This place is usually busy. I've waited up to 30-40 mins before, but I see that the staff try to work as fast as they can to get all the orders out. FOOD: 5/5 Refreshingly good. There are plenty of options for drinks (classic milk teas, specialty drinks, fruit teas, blended drinks) plus toppings, homemade cream mochi, homemade cakes, other desserts, and even snacks. I haven't tried their snack options, but my absolute favorite drinks have been the Mango Pomelo Sago and Avocado Mango Sago. OVERALL: 5/5 Recommend for a good hangout or pickup for drinks and snacks. I always make sure to stop by every time I come to eat or shop in this area, so I sure can't wait to come back and try their other drinks, desserts, and snacks.

    Jasmine Green Tea w/Lychee Jelly, Mango Jelly and Sago

    I love this little place! Located inside the plaza, they have some of the coolest flavors. My daughter got Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly, Mango Jelly, Matcha Cream and Sago. The sago is good! It adds texture, like little tapioca. And the ingredients taste fresh I love the qiosk they have to order your drink, it makes ordering a breeze. They are usually busy but make order fast in my experience.

    Fine boba shop. Very cute and pink, instagrammable interior. You order off of machines. Lots of seating. They have a lot of claw toy machines. The Thai tea didn't taste like real Thai tea and wasn't good. I ordered 50% sweet but it was still too sweet. They kindly replaced my drink. I ended up with the Jasmine milk tea. Good!

    Thai ice tea

    Their regular Thai tea tastes like pure milk. No Thai tea flavor at all. Disappointing and a waste of money. I'll never come here again.

    Taro Coconut Latte w/ Mango
    Rachel L.

    Just very meh. I tried the Taro coconut latte with mango which J thought was a weird mix of flavors. It mainly just tasted like coconut milk, and the soft mango and starchy taro did not go well together. Feel like it was badly executed, but not an unbearable drink. Also tried my brother's milk tea with boba which was better, but nothing special. I do think the desserts here look really great, although very small-portioned and pricy. Service was good. They gave us recommendations and were able to answer all of our questions. Ambiance is so cute!!!! Love the decorations; very picture worthy. Lots of claw machines if you wanna waste some coins and have fun.

    Jasmine Green Milk Tea

    Favorite lowkey tea place in the area. Good selection of flavors & their toppings are nice & fresh. While it seems to be popping now, was one of the first places I've seen with Osmanthus jelly & teas. The grass jelly is always a great texture too. The interior itself is actually kinda cute, if you're into that random asian gram chic aha. Right there inside the Ranch 99 plaza, so plenty of parking. Many tables inside & around if you're tryna chill.

    White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (Oat Milk)
    Kyra K.

    While shopping at Ranch 99 the other day, I saw many customers with boba from Le Dessert Lab. Curious about the shop, I suggested to my cousin that we go there. The boba shop is super cute and spacious! There are plenty of photo ops and aesthetic decor spread throughout, plus claw machines. There's a handful of tables and seats for customers to dine at. Service interaction is practically nonexistent as you order and pay on the tablet and they call your name. Le Dessert Cafe has a variety of drinks from smoothies to milk teas and fruit teas. They also offer snacks and desserts such as cakes and mochi. Dairy alternatives plus ice and sweetness adjustments are available. I ordered a White Peach Oolong Milk Tea with Oat Milk. Even with less ice and sweetness, it was too sweet for me. I couldn't taste the peach unfortunately and the quality of the boba was a weird texture. My cousin seemed to enjoy her drink. On the other hand, their matcha-cream drinks were more enjoyable. There are a couple of boba shops situated on Pacific East Mall, Le Dessert Cafe being one of them. I found their drinks to be a hit or miss and wouldn't seek it out on my own but it was nice to try. Find them towards the back of the mall, there is plenty of free parking in the mall's lot.

    This was my first time ever going to this particular tea shop. We always go to happy lemon, but the last couple of times my family and I have gone, we wait 25 minutes and our drinks taste very watered down. So we figured we would try this new dessert lab instead! to my surprise as we walked in there was one line with two touchscreen kiosk where you could order from. There was also some QR code we could order from, but we didn't realize that before we got in line. Lol the line went rather quickly, and they have a menu Along the back wall as well as a menu on the kiosk screen, so it was pretty easy to navigate through the system. I saw three employees working behind the counter, and it seemed like they were incredibly busy!! We got our drinks in about 5 to 10 minutes. I got a passion fruit- green tea with lychee jelly and my boyfriend got a Jazzmynnn green tea with milk and Boba. We both liked our drinks and the four other drinks my nephews and sister-in-law's got were also enjoyable as well. Inside the café it was a little warmer, but we didn't notice it till we got back into the main portion of the mall. Lol well inside the café they had two different walls where people could take pictures of potentially their drinks, or maybe themselves with some wings that look like you were flying as well as a cute Boba pop-up wall with a texture of flowers on the back. Adjacent to the ordering kiosk were a number of $1 games you could play so my niece and nephews were having fun trying to check which game they could actually win at or if anybody left anything behind. Lol that really reminded me of Taiwan since everything is based on gambling there. Lol I will definitely go back again since this place was a lot better and quicker than happy lemon!

I especially appreciate that they have genmaicha, which can be harder to find. Their version has a distinct roasted tea flavor that doesn't taste watered down, which I love. Their strawberry matcha is also delicious, with a fresher, juicier strawberry flavor than a lot of other spots. I would honestly give this location 5 stars based on the drinks and regular barista interactions alone, but my last experience was really off-putting. I noticed that people often study there with laptops, so I came in with mine and brought a small lunch from Oori down the street to make a morning out of it. I've done this before without issue, but this time, a woman with crazy eyes who seemed to have a higher role came out and very abruptly scolded me, saying, "You CAN'T eat outside food here," while aggressively pointing toward the door as if I needed to leave immediately. I completely understand having a no-outside-food policy, and I would have had no problem following it if it had been communicated respectfully. But the way she approached me felt unnecessarily harsh and honestly pretty upsetting. I apologized right away, packed everything up in a panic, and left. After processing it, I realized how inappropriate the interaction felt for something that could have been addressed with a simple, polite reminder. Overall, Asha has great matcha, a cute space, and friendly baristas, but that experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. Just a heads up: the drinks are good, but you may want to be careful about bringing outside food in, because the policy might be enforced in a pretty unpleasant way.

It's like a pho salad. It has tons of bean sprouts underneath the noodles and a lot of deep fried garlic pieces that make the noodles taste like Hong Kong crunchy noodles. At first I thought the egg noodles were fried. It was crunchy and there wasn't a lot of noodles but mostly a lot of sprouts and herbs. There were a lot of fatty barbecue pieces that I did not eat. I enjoyed one shrimp and one piece of squid. There were a ton of fake crab meat. The side soup was very nice and hot but had a taste of chicken fat and lots of salt and MSG. The noodle dish is extremely tasty and doesn't need any addition of soup. This was excellent on a hot day after a nice hike at Tilden Park. My husband ordered the same dish as me at my recommendation and loved it. My friend had their chow fun with seafood and barbecue. She enjoyed it and it was a generous amount so she took home half. This place is not shy about using MSG and the food is very salty and strong tasting. I find the dishes much cheaper than other Vietnamese restaurants. My dish was only $13.50. That's very cheap since it was full of herbs and seafood. Service is very efficient when they're not busy. No frills. Service is very slow when it's busy. Most of their customers are people who are coming here during their office lunch break during the weekdays. I noticed it was very quiet on a weekend. I'm still going to go back to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Berkeley next time I am in the area, Phosho Dough.

    UPDATED 1-STAR REVIEW -- MY EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY…read more I had already written a negative review about this business about six months ago after an unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, what happened yesterday made my impression even worse. Yesterday, I was sitting peacefully outside the mall's north entrance, about 20-30 meters away from Hong Kong Snack House. I was not inside the store, blocking its entrance, or interfering with its business. Most importantly, THE CHAIR DID NOT BELONG TO HONG KONG SNACK HOUSE. I got it from the area near 99 Ranch Market, where there are several similar chairs. Hong Kong Snack House has similar-looking chairs, but theirs have labels on the backs. The chair I was using was not theirs. This issue actually started earlier. The owner had previously complained about me to a mall janitor. That janitor approached me several times about the chair. After that, whenever I encountered him around the mall, he would stare at me in a very unfriendly and intimidating way. Yesterday, the situation escalated. The owner complained about me again, this time to a security guard, who came specifically to question me. I directly asked the guard whether the owner had approached him first, and he confirmed that he had. The explanation was that a homeless person might steal the chair. That makes very little sense to me. This is a cheap, lightweight chair that looks like it is worth perhaps $5. It is still a full-size chair that someone would have to carry away. Why would anyone steal a bulky $5 chair just to sell it for perhaps $2? More importantly, THE CHAIR WAS NOT THIS BUSINESS OWNER'S PROPERTY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I was sitting peacefully outside, far away from his store and bothering nobody. Yet first a janitor repeatedly approached me, and now security became involved. Given my unpleasant experience with this business six months ago and the negative review I posted afterward, these repeated complaints made me feel deliberately targeted, harassed, and retaliated against. I simply do not understand why a business owner would repeatedly involve mall employees and security over someone sitting quietly far outside his store on a chair that does not even belong to him. I strongly urge Pacific East Mall management to look into these repeated confrontations. After this experience, I will not patronize Hong Kong Snack House again.
