This is a boba staple place where there is a huge variety of drinks from coffee to matcha to teas…read moreto smoothies to slushies. I've been here coming here for over the past 10 years or so and they are consistent. I'm not into the boba but I like the drinks like the usual milk tea, jasmine milk tea, winter melon, and mango to name a few. They did a recent update for their interiors with merchandise so it looks more upscale and clean. I love their surprise series where you get a drink where you get a blind cup for Sanrio character plushies for example. They have a couple claw machines. They also have a self order kiosk for you to optionally order your own drinks or snack food. Fun little place to hang out. A few small tables are outside as well. Will be back again!

Wanted (needed) some boba and I was in the area. There are so many places to choose from but I saw…read morethis one next to Lee Lee's and stopped by. There was another pair in the shop and the bobaista was welcoming and friendly. I decided to get the sea salt Vietnamese coffee with boba, regular size (16oz). I wanted to get a large but the gal said they only do the smaller size because of the caffeine content. Fair enough! The drink was delicious: loved the salty foam on the top and the coffee was tasty as always. The boba was chewy and cooked well. Price was comparable to other boba spots: $5.99 plus $0.75 for boba. Would come back when in the area to try other drinks, and maybe some food!

I had a really great experience here! My friend and I came on a Tuesday during lunch and it was…read morepretty slow. The ambiance is fun and bright, lots of neon colors and really interesting artwork. There were claw machines and games too. We came here because they offer fresh sugar cane drinks, so my friend ordered one of those drinks, while I choose the Hokkaido milk tea with boba. Both drinks were good. But what absolutely blew me away was their Dubai chocolate covered strawberries!!! I hadn't tried this viral sensation yet, and the price was right at this place, so I ordered it ($7!!!!!!) They were incredible and I understand the hype. But the price at Hi5 is unbeatable. I cannot WAIT to come back here for more Dubai strawberries and highly recommend others come try them out!

Came in this afternoon thinking it was Hi 5 Tea. OPEN sign wasn't lit up but door was unlocked so…read morewe continued inside. After taking a few minutes to review the menus we both made our decision and placed our order with the woman behind the counter. While or order was being made we wandered the store to check out all the nest things they had to offer. Games on tables, Claw drop games, a punching bag machine, and a rack full of numerous Ramen options. A few minutes later and our selections were complete. I choose a Slushy made from Strawberry, Banana, and ice for me. It's is quite good, but I wish it had a bit more strawberries since the banana flavor was more prominent and the strawberry almost not there. I got full before I had finished half of the drink. A nice desert following our sandwich from the biz across the way. My son also enjoyed his and commented that it was nice to have some fresh fruit in the mix. Lady explained they were open today for a test run. Needed to get a feel for the volume of business to decide if they would continue to be open on Mondays since this a new business. She said the place is no longer Hi 5 Tea. New business name is Fresh Sugarcane Boba & Juice Bar. Tasty drinks and good service. We'll be back, maybe even sit down and play one of the games set up on the tables.

Authenticity -- 10/10 This place is actually real Taiwanese…read morefood. Not "inspired by," not Americanized, not playing games. This is the closest thing you're getting to Taiwan in Arizona right now. Service -- 10/10 You order at the counter, which threw us off for about two seconds, then we realized it just works. The owner is a super nice Taiwanese guy and the whole place feels chill and genuine. Deliciousness -- 10/10 We ordered a bunch of snacks and I'm telling you right now, the deep-fried stuff is non-negotiable. The popcorn chicken is life-altering. I don't even want to exaggerate but it actually changed my standards. The drinks are also dangerous. Smoothies and slushes both hit way harder than expected. Overall Score: 10/10 I would come back. I would bring friends. I would think about this food at 1 a.m. Definitely Unofficial Food Critic approved.

This has been on my list for a long time to try and finally came in tonight for dinner…read more The place is very casual and frankly kind of dumpy but those are the best places for good authentic food! My family is from Taiwan and so I was looking forward to coming here and giving it a try. Now granted, I am picky when it comes to Taiwanese food, so if not made right, you will know about it. We ordered the ground pork over rice and Taiwanese braised pork over rice combos. Both dishes were pretty good. I dont have high expectations here in Phoenix and I was pleasantly surprised! We also checked out their cold case and lots of comforting dishes like Taiwanese pickled cabbage, marinated pig ears, marinated seaweed and tofu gan. We got an order of the seaweed and tofu gan and it was good. Also had a boba tea to go and it was as expected. Boba was chewy like it should be and for $3.35, pretty good deal. Overall, the food was good and there is a specials daily menu by the cash register but its written in Chinese, so you probably need to ask the owner what specials they are having or bring me with you! When we came tonight there was eel over rice, 3 cups chicken over rice combo and papaya milk and green bean sweet soup. I'd definitely come back here again when Im in the mood for Taiwanese food but I would skip dining in. I felt like I was in some school cafeteria, zero ambiance. But the food was legit!

5/30/26: this was our first visit. We have been back twice already. The environment is very chic…read moreand pristine, extremely well decorated. There are usually a couple gals behind the counter, watching the screen while you place your order ... waiting patiently as you peruse their many choices, trying to decide which tea to order. They are super friendly and very helpful. This visit we ordered the ginger chai, vanilla bean cream latte. I preferred the ginger chai, but my sister thought hers was betters. Our second visit we ordered the orange bianco, along with the cream earl grey milk teas. Both also wonderful. Today we ordered the raspberry chocolate milk tea and cocoa cream matcha. I may sound like a broken record, but yes, they were wonderful. It is NOT a boba tea shop; it was, but no longer. Incidentally, if you come the "back" way, entering off Warner vs Dobson, the signage on the back side still says Ni Hao. :-) Since we've already visited them three times, I think it's pretty clear we would highly recommend their teas.

TeaMakers & Company is a fantastic new addition to the locally owned small tea shops in the area…read more They're a Korean owned cafe and definitely exude that Korean cafe style in their operations, decor, and menu. Every detail is thoughtfully curated and you'll feel comforted and welcomed by the employees. They have fantastic tea quality! If you love tea, you will not be disappointed. The croffles are also great. Some other cafes bog down their croffles with toppings and sugar, but here they put just the right amount. They're not cloyingly sweet. I highly recommend getting the sugar on the regular croffle. It caramelizes and adds a pretty sheen and crunch without taking away from the croissant base. It is very clean and quiet inside during less busy hours. TeaMakers has a medium-small amount of seating featuring both hard table tops and a comfy couch sitting area. With their current setup, you can fit a group of up to 4 at their biggest tables. TeaMakers & Company excels in everything already despite being so newly opened. I truly do not have any constructive criticism to give at this time, and I've been there multiple times already.

Amazing flavor and taste. Highly recommended!!…read more I finally got to try it out after a long waited and highly anticipated visit. Suffice to say, Gozen Kampuchea passes my highest expectations! The taste and quality is superb and unmatched. It's delicate yet subtle. The complexity is there, with rich boldness and flavors that highlight the original leaf. It reminds me of being back in Hokkaido in Japan. Definitely recommend it. It tasted just like the Matcha back in Japan. Next time I'm trying the Matcha cake roll. Seating is quite ample and there's a small bar section on the side, which is great for studying. It's quite comfortable here as the wooden dust and tables really give it a great ambience for getting work done! Music selection was on-point. Loved it. Service is amazing! Super friendly!!! And lightning fast too. They also have a kiosk for ordering as well. Memory Lane Reminiscence: I remember when there was a Fry's grocery next-door to here. There was also an FYE at one point. It's exciting to see the upcoming change. It says they are building a Ross in this plaza.

This place reminds me of Matcha Maiko. The quality of the matcha is high quality. I got the Hojicha…read moreLatte, which is probably the best I've had in Phoenix. It has the roasty and nutty taste. The matcha latte is great as well but not as bitter as I was expecting. They have other matcha lattes on the menu. I might need to try a different type next time for a more bitter/stronger matcha taste. Also got the hojicha roll cake, and oh my it is sooo good! Similar to their latte, the cake was soo rich in hojicha taste! I will definitely come back for this cake! I also got this free cute bag during this promotion if you buy more than $15!

Great service and drinks here at Daboba! I never knew where it was, but I stumbled upon it on my…read moreway home from my head spa appointment. I was glad to see it wasn't busy so I was in and out in minutes. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I got 2 drinks because you can Uber go wrong with that! The Mango Frappe was excellent! Nice and smooth, creamy and refreshing. I love that you can customize the sweetness level and amount of ice, too. The Roasted Brown Sugar Fresh Milk is a classic that's always a winner. The restaurant is clean and well-lit inside. They also offer some snack items including mango with sticky rice which I haven't seen at other Daboba locations. Prices are average and there's lots of parking outside. I'm glad I don't live too far away from this one because you know I'll be back sooner or later!

Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by DaBoba. What makes them different than other places in…read moretown is their Honey Boba Pearls. It's my favorite. The pearls are always soft yet right amount of chewiness and ooze out with the honey flavor. I like the consistency of how good the pearls are every time I get them. This time I got the Earl Grey Matcha. I couldn't taste a strong early grey flavor in there but the matcha was on point! Right amount of bitter (I got it less sweet). Also got the Vietnamese iced coffee. It was strong and good level of bitterness and the milky taste from the condense milk. The shop is always nice and cool and plenty of space!

Cute spot in a plaza in Chandler. Wasn't my favorite Thai milk tea, but it was still a yummy…read moreafternoon treat! My mom ordered their lychee tea and absolutely loved it.

Came back tonight and was so happy. I got the taro coconut milk tea again along with the barley…read moremilk tea - both were so good. I love that you can actually taste the tea, and the drinks are incredibly smooth. Nothing grainy or clumpy at all, just perfectly smooth throughout. The service is always quick and efficient. I've tried several of their other drinks as well and have always been happy. You really can't go wrong here.

I've been to Polba Tea a few times and I really like it!…read more I've been on a strawberry matcha kick lately, especially when I'm craving something sweet. Polba Tea's strawberry matcha with boba hits the spot everytime. The sweetness is customizable and I usually opt for 50% which is still sweet enough for my taste. I also enjoy their cheese fries, which is powdered cheese and the fried tofu. Both make for great snacks and the portions are generous enough to share or a meal for one. Service is fast and friendly. The space has a chill and welcoming vibe.

I'm not a fan of boba, but I love tea and coffee. So far…read moreeverything I have had here has been pretty spot on and very good. Some of the drinks can't be modified much because they just can't, so those ones are a little sweet sometimes- but if you get extra ice, it kind of helps out. Service is always super good and friendly; they are always ready to help or answer questions. Decor is pretty neat in here, you can tell there is thought that went into putting things places. It's comfortable enough to hang out and wait. You can order in person or at a self serve kiosk.
