They have fancy drinks here, but the fanciness is reflected on the price (yeah they are more pricy, unfortunately). My husband's go to is the milk tea with taro paste and tofu flower, and sometimes the toppings are out of stock and he will be sad. The mochi here is also delicious, but it costs more than $1. I ordered the matcha creme brulee for the first time as it's popular, and while it's good I don't really understand why it's called creme brulee since... There is no brunt cream lol! There is no place to enjoy your drink here since they are essentially sharing the spot with Nan noodles. It's similar to the setup of YGF matalang and lucky cube, which they encourage you to eat and drink at the same time. Ps. If you can read Chinese, you can use one of the Chinese to-go apps as they frequently offer coupons for this place.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #99…read more Moge Tee is a chain from Mainland China that also has a couple of locations in Michigan which I've visited and mostly enjoyed. They have a bit higher quality tea than most boba shops that came before them, but have since been overshadowed. This particular location is inside the Nan Noodle restaurant, making it a convenient place to order from while slurping on noodles. They have a kiosk for ordering near the front door. When we visited, there was only one worker who was cranking out a huge order of drinks (I'm talking 20+ drinks). Unfortunately we were behind that large order so it took over 30 minutes before our drink was ready. Dahongpao Bubble Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sugar, 50% Ice ($7) - The taste of the milk tea first starts out very nutty, a bit roasty, and quite sweet (distinct and separate from the sweetener). It then descends into something that's almost a little stale and tastes mildly of rancid fat. I feel like there's a chance that the creamer they used in the drink is old and/or on the cusp of going bad. It's not a super strong taste, but it's there, giving the drink an unpleasant aftertaste. The boba is very good however. Golden pearls, smaller than average boba with great chew and bounce. They are soaked for a while in sugar solution, giving them a sweet taste that penetrates the top layer of the boba. Due to the soak, some of the boba sticks together into larger balls, and the exteriors have a softer velvety layer rather than being smooth. Milk Tea Rating: 1/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I have to assume that their drinks don't normally taste rancid... Maybe something was just wrong with my taste buds that day? Then again, given my disappointment, I visited another boba shop right after and that one tasted fine. Note: My rating of 3 is because the boba and milk tea have equal weighting. The boba is very good while the milk tea is terrible due entirely to the rancid/stale aftertaste. Bathrooms - Two larger ones, shared with Nan Noodles.

They were both so good--perfectly sweet, refreshing, and just incredibly satisfying. I've sent him back every single day for the past 8 days to bring me the exact same order--that's how amazing it is! I've also tried their mango with coconut strips (so delicious, but definitely best enjoyed there since it's more of a frozen dessert), and the mango and coconut with sago drink, which held up great as a takeout drink. Honestly, mango is the star here, and you really can't go wrong with anything mango on the menu. I keep telling myself I'll branch out and try more items, but my favorites are just too good to pass up. If you're even thinking about trying this place--do it! You'll absolutely want to go back again and again.

Or who haven't used a touchpad POS I guess - which is surprising but it happens. ...hell I work in tech and only this month used my phone to pay for a thing at a POS but I digress. Never was a priority. I've ordered there consistently. I usually get the same thing. I'm more of a no boba milk tea person. Service is consistent. Prices are decent. I guess the low reviews are people who are expecting Din Tai Fung levels from a small place in the mall? Then again I don't boba I only milk tea so what do I know. People are super picky about their balls and how they want their balls to taste. I say set your expectations on your balls and stop being a ball buster. Good grief people have gotten so artisinal about their boba balls it's like they expect each one to be flow in individually by a drone or hand selected and blessed by the Pope. Or do like I do and go for the milk tea and not worry about it. Can't go wrong with milk tea. Or maybe the low reviews are people who are over complicating their orders and expect Frank Lloyd Wright and Gordon Ramsey both to be back there assembling their bevy for $7. For what it is, and for the price, I have no complaints.

TL;DR: for such a large chain, this place is really disappointing. Boba is cooked unevenly. Sago is…read morenothing but a huge goopy clump. Not worth spending $10 on a cup here. I thought I'd give this chain a try and I was very disappointed. Parking: mall garage, free. Atmosphere: no seating, long lines for ordering, waiting for your order to be completed is longer than waiting in the line (I presume it is because they fill mobile orders at the same time). Menu: posted on the back wall above the register, also a smaller menu at the beginning of the ribbon divider. Service: order and pay at the front, wait for your order to be announced, grab your own straw. Mango Sago Smoothie: I requested 30% sweetness and it was still very sweet but that wasn't the worst part--it wasn't until I reach the bottom of the cup that I saw the sago was nothing but two large coagulated clumps. It was clearly poorly made and not fresh. The mango tasted mediocre and was nothing to write home about. The boba was also very unevenly cooked and was mushy on the outside and rubbery/hard inside. I noticed this on the first sip and wasn't going to stand back in the 10 minute queue to get it remade. I'm all for bubble tea joints and I honestly thought the drinks would be better quality for a chain so large that I hear about.

Kale Boost Tea: This was very refreshing, though would have done well with more chia seeds. The bottle design for this drink is cute. When I went, online ordering at this location was disabled. It was easy to place an order in person, and check a monitor to see when your drink is ready. There's not a lot of space inside the store, so it can get a bit cramped if many people are waiting.

I got the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and ordered on the heytea app instead of waiting in the line to order. After placing my order, the app said there were 50 drinks ahead of mine in the queue, and about a 20 min wait. Staff were accommodating of my reusable cup and were, after some initial hesitation, able to serve my drink in my glass tumbler instead of the plastic cup. Thanks for supporting sustainability even while it was super busy today! The Triple Supreme Matcha Latte was really good, consisting of a strong matcha latte with matcha mochi and matcha jelly. The mochi is very soft and the jelly adds a nice texture to the drink.

HEALTH HAZARD: plastic in drinks!!!…read more We ordered 2 mango yogurt drinks with purple rice. We got them quickly, but immediately noticed pieces of string / plastic coming out of our straw.

After telling her co-worker, he just shrugged it off and didn't give any attention to us. Very dismissive!! Although they remade the drink, we found plastic AGAIN. Threw away the drinks.
