    Passed by and saw a new name to this location and decided to give it a shot. A good selection to choose from, I ended up ordering their curry fish balls and their jasmine milk tea. Their boba was a little on the chewier side if that's what you're into. The fish balls were good, I was really surprised to see it really drenched in curry. They have chicken sandwiches and tender too. Definitely will try it out the next time we're there.

    Came back to try their chicken sando, which was delicious! I like that their chicken is well seasoned, and you can tell it's fried to crispness, but the sauce does make it a bit soggy. The Midodo sauce does also add a lot of flavor. Again, the chicken isn't the typical Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but the batter is pretty delicious. I'm glad they can cut the sandwich in half cuz I can't finish it unless I'm starving! Their fries are addicting. They remind me of McDonald's fries since they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, slightly chewy, cut perfectly thinly. The Jasmine milk tea is a bit watered down side for me, as I like my jasmine milk tea stronger and creamier. Boba was fine. I would come back for their chicken!

    Was excited to try this place out -- ordered a handful of food and the person taking our order was very enthusiastic and had some suggestions too! The food was mid though. The chicken strips were more like big chicken bites. Sort of the same size as the popcorn chicken? The breading was falling off and had a weird taste. The fries were alright but nothing to go crazy over. The interior was basic and I did use the restroom and it was really icky and sticky. Overall -- I might come back to try something new, but I won't go out of my way quite yet

    Vietnamese Coffee Latte & Hong Kong Lemon Tea

    New spot that took over the recently closed Tea 18 in the Elk Grove Donuts shopping center! They're currently in soft opening, and I took advantage of the $1 HK Lemon tea deal with purchase of a food item. The chicken sando was surprisingly good, I had low expectations but the chicken was so juicy and tender! The bread was super soft too, looked like a potato roll, which overall makes the sandwich a bit soft/messy but I'd rather have that than something dry! My HK Lemon tea was on the sweet side at regular level so next time I'd adjust to go lower in sweetness. The Vietnamese coffee latte is strong but balanced out by the milk if you don't want it to be too heavy. My favorite part of the meal was the sweet potato fries - cooked perfectly and they give a generous amount of sauce which I love!! The menu is pretty small so I'm hoping they plan to bring more drinks to the table when they are open longer! The place itself hasn't changed much from what I remember and is a bit dark inside but otherwise a good amount of tables!

    Noticed this place today when we went to our favorite donut shop. Didn't realize they have been open since October. Located in the strip mall near Dutch Brothers. I tried a fried chicken wrap with buttermilk ranch. Was pretty good, has coleslaw, pickles & cheese. Chicken was crispy & tasty but a little too garlic for me. Restaurant is small but has plenty of seating. Could use some wall decorations. Service was good. Took the time to explain the menu etc. very friendly. Restroom inside. Hope they stay open.

    Tried out this place out and for the most part, you would have to be a chicken fan. I thought the fries were the best food item. Second would be the chicken Sando. It's good if you are a fan of dark meat but for some reason it was kinda mushy. The bread/bun was good. The popcorn chicken pieces were kinda too big and the chicken strips were small, so you almost can't tell the difference between the two. I really enjoyed the red guava and lemon tea drink, it was very refreshing. I don't think that's a common drink at other cafe's or boba spots. Overall I did think the food took longer than it needed to, but I can't really complain since it's chicken and that should be cooked thoroughly.

    Popcorn chicken, chicken strips, white peach oolong tea, midodo sauce

    Ordered through DoorDash. Seems they had just opened based on other reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try. Things I ordered: - Popcorn chicken: 4.5/5 not the typical Taiwanese popcorn chicken but still good. Seemed to be more like chicken bites or chicken nuggets than popcorn chicken though because of the size. Chicken thigh was juicy, didn't have any of the unwanted excess chicken fat or gristle that I've had with some chicken. Batter was crispy and seasoned well. Only one bad thing was that parts of the batter were falling off when trying to grab the chicken or dipping the chicken in sauce, which made it slightly difficult to eat. - Chicken strips 3/5 Might be just personal taste but I much preferred the chicken thighs. Batter seasoning was the same, chicken was expectedly less juicy since it was white meat. These chicken strips were difficult to "pull apart" without the batter completely falling apart. - Midodo sauce (regular and spicy) 5/5 Kind of reminds me of raising canes sauce. I preferred the regular over the spicy. The spicy does have a nice kick to it though. Both sauces complimented the chicken really well. - White peach oolong tea 4/5 Ordered with less ice and 30% sweetness. It was ok, but with it being listed under "fruit tea" I was expecting some something with real fruit bits or syrup added in. Instead, it seemed more like a brewed oolong tea that just had a subtle peach fragrance rather than an actual fruit flavor. If this is only brewed, one suggestion for the future when/if the menu is expanded, is to list this under "fresh brewed tea".

    01.28.2026 - MIDODO - ELK GROVE, CA - So my boyfriend says there's a Boba place nearby and I couldn't find it but later I found this place. I've decided to try it out. It's a nice cute place when you first walk in nice and clean beautiful minimal style tables café. Cute art wall pictures. The counter person was very helpful. I asked him what was the best sauce for the popcorn chicken and he suggested his favorite was the spicy which I assume is the Sriracha flavor. It only took about three minutes for my drink to be ready and my popcorn chicken was ready in 4 to 5 minutes as for the popcorn chicken it came out very hot so be careful. I can taste the ginger marinade in the chicken which was a plus cause I love flavor. There wasn't an overwhelming flavor of Five Spice. Which is fine as im getting to know their flavors in this establishment . The Hong Kong milk tea drink tasted like coffee with a lot of chocolate flavoring and they were not stingy with the Boba toppings pretty pretty generous with the toppings overall, I enjoyed my visit. I ate there for about three minutes, but I wanted to go home And relax.... it so it was delicious. I'm gonna go back and try their other drinks and maybe other food and you know what's interesting. They have SANDO Japanese sandwiches so I'll try that next time.

    Sweet potato fries
    Mae V.

    Great place for a light snack. Went here and got the sweet potato fries and popcorn chicken with the ranch and Spicy Midodo Sauce. Would recommend to those who want to try out a local business here in EG! The only thing I would say is that the wait is a little bit long, but the wait is worth it as the fries and chicken were both very good.

    Chicken strips and Chicken (dark meat) sandwich

    Sooo juicy and made really fresh. The skin had a nice crisp and the portion size of the chicken strips and sandwich was a huge for a great price, the sauce was great with it too.

My favorites things about this place is they serve tasty drinks, has a lovely relaxing ambience & is group & date friendly. My faves: 1. hojicha latte (seasonal) 5/5 stars 2. ube latte (seasonal) -5/5 stars 3. Taro Taro -5/5 stars 4. Takoyaki-lobster balls 5/5 stars 5. Sweet potato fries 4/5 stars 6. Kids love their popcorn chicken and fries 4.5/5 stars (I like to wish I can eat their Viet taro rice cake, hash brown nuggies & beef balls. ). A few things I've love about T% on Big Horn.. The ambience is so comfortable & relaxing. The lights are soft & pacifying, the acoustics are not super loud for my aging ears, even when it's packed with people. I love how conducive it is to conversation when im on dates or when I'm on 1-1 meetings or even with a group of 6 people. The chairs are padded, comfortable for my aging bones. Seating is from 2-6 seats. In the colder months there's heaters & chairs outside which is nice aesthetically, ambiencey & for that patio like feel. I love that they open relatively later than usual and most boba spots (10am-10pm, Mon-Sun). I can usually modify my drinks to low or no sugar, light ice, and modify my milks because I'm a modifying my drink type of gal. One super cute thing I love about T% is that will decorate for most holidays. I love the decor for Christmas which includes a huge tree, for Valentines a giant bear & heart & an interesting looking telephone, for Chinese New Year some dragon decor. The service is awesome. They answer all my questions, and even help me when I can't find stuff on their self order kiosk, which is also convenient to get my order in. The manager lady is sweet, has adorable style & she works alot, maybe that's why the spot is running so efficiently & smooth. I haven't had a go-to boba place in the past ever, but since the beginning of the year I have one now. Love me some T%! I'd like to try the other location on EG Florin sometime too. Highly suggest!

Lychee Strawberry Fruit Tea: 8.3/10 My friend got this drink with 120% (extra) sweet so I was expecting that the drink would be very sweet but surprisingly it wasn't too sweet for me. The lychee jelly had good texture and the lychee black tea doesn't have a strong taste. The service wasn't bad since we ordered from the kiosk and waited for our drinks. Also, the lady that was working there was nice and served our drinks quickly. The place itself was very clean and there wasn't any trash or stains around the shop. However, I wish that there was a restroom for customers. I would give it 5 stars if I came here more often but to me this boba place is just like any other average boba shop. The prices are pretty reasonable and they have a huge variety of options for whatever type of drinks you're craving for.
