Dino Boba is such a chill, cozy, and cute spot right in downtown Cranford. If you're looking for a…read morequiet place to study or just hang out with friends without dealing with big crowds, this is definitely the place. I went on a Tuesday night, and it was pretty calm. The couches are super comfortable, and the staff was really nice and patient with me. I originally wanted a hot tea, but the strawberry lemon green tea only comes iced. I do wish they offered some of their fruity drinks hot, but the cold version was still really refreshing!

We got a taro milk tea with lychee jelly and a crème brûlée cap and a thai tea with boba and a crème brûlée cap. They both taste great and it's nice for our sweet tooth indulgences. It took a little longer than normal for our drinks to come out but we didn't really mind. Despite that though, the employees working had brought us one of their nutella banana croffles as an apology. They were really sweet and it really made us feel appreciated too. We love Dino Boba !

A nice option for Fried Dumplings…read more This is one of four Bao Dumplings and Bao Tea locations in New Jersey. You order at a counter and there are tables inside if you want to eat at the restaurant. The room is comfortable. The fried dumplings were good and worth the $1 upsell over steamed dumplings. The soup dumplings were disappointing, doughy and relatively dry. The drinks were served in a cute plastic cup with cat ears. The service was helpful. There is a 3% charge for credit card payments.

Good portion size, came with a nice bowl of rice and some tasty Korean vegetable sides made in house. No idea what they were but my taste buds loved them :). And I'm not a big vegetable guy. Ohh, my wife and I had some dumplings. Crispy on the outside with a tasty filling. I had pork, she had vegetable. Nice family run local restaurant. Highly recommend!

The flavors of every single thing on the plate were delicious. The spicy pork was well seasoned, the sides tasted fresh and the marinated radish on the side was a delicious addition as well. I repeatedly said as I ate "this is so satisfying" lol. It felt perfectly balanced, great spices and seasoning, great portion, overall great taste. They were accommodating as well and allowed for the japchae to be made with chicken instead of beef. Food came out nice and hot after 10-15 minutes. There's indoor seating, a casual vibe to the place. There's also a section of some asian snacks and chips inside.

Once inside it was much larger than I thought it would be. Lots of space but at the time of my visit pretty limited seating. What we ordered: - Classic Milk Tea with boba - Taro Milk Tea with boba - Passion Fruit Tea with rainbow jelly All the drinks were fine, not my usual taste but I truly appreciate that they exist as there are not many boba shops in this particular area without going into Somerville or Bridgewater. The service was ok. They also offer some food but as I just dined elsewhere I did not try it. They also have ice cream, which I also didn't try but it was a nice addition and they can make ice cream float drinks. I think I would be back because it does have potential.

The tables and the floors were clean with no garbage or debris in sight. There was no music playing in this tea shop and it is quiet. Staff: The staff here seemed friendly and are patient when taking your order. Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken: This lacks a bit of flavor as they could do a little better with this. It is not crunchy on the outside and the inside is cooked to perfection and is chewy. However, you can still taste the oil that they fried the popcorn chicken in. Colorful Fruit Green Tea: It has some green tea taste, but you can barely taste it. Peach Green Tea w/ Crystal Pearls: It has a hint of green tea as well and you can taste the peach flavor. The crystal pearls taste hard and is meh. Maybe I should have ordered the regular tapioca instead. Overall: This bubble tea shop is like any other tea shops in the area. The only bad thing about this tea shop is that they do not serve hot drinks during Spring, Summer, Fall. I have never heard of any tea shops that only serve hot drinks during Winter only. Most of the other bubble tea shops in the area sell hot drinks all year long.
