I told her I'm mostly a basic boba drinker that goes for Thai milk tea normally, but I really like lychee. She recommended a great tea, and when asked about the boba add-ons I wasn't sure and she said, I'll surprise you. She had a lychee boba that was reminiscent of the lychee jellies I used to like in my college days. I really appreciate a place that will make recommendations and take some of the stress of ordering off away from me. 2. They have a unique menu and it rotates seasonally! 3. All the teas are pretty much the same price. 4. The business has a chill vibe and plenty of space to lounge and hang out. 5. The tea flavor was great, it had a nice citrus incorporation. Summery and tasty with the fun aftertaste of the lychee Highly recommend this place, go check it out

It took a really long time for the one employee in their store to make their 2 drinks and a really long time for them to make my drink. I think the employee was new because they had to call the owner and read a binder. This was all okay and the employee was nice. I ordered a large and was charged that, but I think I got a medium and due to it taking so long, I decided not to dispute it. The drink also was very sweet and the flavors felt off. It is nice they have coconut milk as an option though because I don't react well to dairy or oatmilk.

The location had 2 ordering stations as well as a walk up ordering service. They offer Gelato sampling, with a description of each flavor and the strength of matcha. They also offer ube and yuzu Gelato flavors as well. What we ordered: Coconut Cloud Iced Matcha Iced Sparkling Peach Matcha Lemonade Aoko soft serve (comes with different mochis!) Twist soft serve Experience: Service was GREAT! We went at the peak of dinner hour on a Saturday. After having ramen, we decided there was always room to try the new matcha spot on the way out. The friendly faces of workers offered us to try the different Gelato flavors before we ordered to know what our preference was. My sister is new to the matcha world really liked the smooth matcha Gelato and opted to get the Aoko soft serve. I suggested for her to try the Iced sparkling peach lemonade as it offered a more subtle entry drink for her. She really enjoyed both of her choices! I went with the hojicha and matcha soft serve swirl with warabi mochi. It did not disappoint! I shared my soft serve with my husband who very much enjoyed the toasty essence that hojicha offers paired with the subtle earthy sweetness of matcha. I chose the coconut cloud matcha because I saw how cool another woman's drink was, and I absolutely love cute cloud jellies and coconut water. Paired with the lightly sweetened, airy texture of the cloud foam, it was the perfect ending to our night after having savory bowls of ramen. I highly recommend this spot for a nice end to a great evening, a pick me up, or treat yourself moment! We will for sure be back!

Aokō serves matcha drinks and desserts including matcha gelato with flavors/strengths 1-8, as well as hojicha and yuzu flavors. I ordered the matcha float with yuzu gelato and mochi and really loved the yuzu and matcha flavor combination. The mochi was chewy and tasty. My partner ordered the taro smoothie, which was also very good. Prices are a bit high and I imagine as more businesses open in the building that parking might become tricky. But they are definitely worth a visit and I look forward to coming back to try more menu items!

The service is always really fast and every worker has been kind to me. I particularly like to get the banana milk tea (since it reminds me of banana milk, which I love). When I get their fruit teas, I opt for 50% or 70% sugar since they're really sweet. I've ordered a coconut smoothie from them before, and it was filled to the top (with the bubble lid on) and completely worth it-- and I plan to get more smoothies now that it's hotter out. I've also gotten an egg waffle from them (and I love that they have egg waffles here because they're hard to find outside of Chinatown-- you can't even find them in Allston!) and it was good. Basically what you'd expect from an egg waffle. The value you get for your drinks is great, especially compared to other bubble tea shops in Boston, and it's the only bubble tea place (that I know of) in East Boston. Happy it's here!

There was one other party there when I walked in, but the wait wasn't too long. Their menu has a decent selection so it took me a moment to decide what I wanted too. The person working behind the counter was really friendly and pleasant to interact with. I settled with a mango milk tea and honestly, the tea itself was great. I enjoyed the flavor, a good mix of mango and milk tea, but the toppings were a little soft. The bubbles were just a little too chewy to my taste and my friend agreed. The restaurant was closing within an hour or two of when I went though, so it was probably their last batch. Overall, if I'm ever in the area again, I wouldn't mind coming back. It's a decent boba shop in East Boston and I enjoyed my experience!

They have a really interesting menu with a variety of drinks, dishes, pastries, ice cream, and plenty of ube-flavored items. For drinks, we tried the Mango Mansi and the house blend iced tea, and both were really refreshing. For our meals, we ordered the Tapsilog and Pork Silog. Both had great flavor, but unfortunately, the portion sizes were disappointing for the price. There was very little meat and the plates were mostly rice, which made the price point feel a bit high. The food itself was delicious, but the portions made it difficult to feel like the meal was worth the cost. For something sweet, we tried the ginger molasses cookie, which was good and a nice way to finish the meal. Service was nothing that stood out just standard. If you sit down they will bring it out to you which is nice. Overall, I'm glad to have a Filipino restaurant option in Saugus, and there are definitely some unique and interesting things on the menu that are worth trying. There's plenty of seating for both small and larger groups, although parking can be a little tricky since it's located right on Main Street. A good meal with lots of unique options, but with the portion sizes compared to the prices, I'm not sure we'd return.

That being said, there's lots of competition in the area, so it's hard to stand out.
