    This place takes card but $10 minimum otherwise cash only because of fees. I like the small shops that pay their taxes and this is a business that I recommend and support!

    I personally think this place has the best drinks on San Bruno Ave. I always get the watermelon aloe delight or the honey lemon green tea. Both super refreshing. I always get a large cause I kill it within minutes. Their popcorn chicken is also really good too! Affordable and delicious!!

    Got the popcorn chicken and also a watermelon delight for the hot day. The chicken was quickly quality so it was just okay. The watermelon delight was a watermelon slush with aloe and pudding. The flavor of watermelon was good but the pudding didn't seem like it belonged in the slush. Here's the issue with my order - I found pieces of plastic and wood in the chicken and the drink. I don't know what they're doing back there but this is a big thumbs down. If there were no issues with my order, I would've given them a 2 or 3 star, but because of what's happened, I'm not coming back here again.

    This is my to go shop for fried mini octopus! NOT ANYMORE cuz damn high school kids and nuisances ass kids complained about the price and how little they were getting. Which is NOT true at all! I have been a loyal costumer since they have open (more like since they changed names from Quickly) And when I ordered my fried octopus, they still gave me a lot and I was soooo happy! Their drink prices are still the lowest on the stripe and size is prefect, and taste is good. It's always really sweet to me even when I ask for less sweet. But that's my problem because I have sensitive teeth. I came in a few more times to ask if they have fried octopus again I can wait but they just don't want to waste my time which I totally understand.

    It's like Quickly's, so it's a pretty good place to go to for snacks and boba at a decent price! I really like their popcorn chicken and fried baby octopus as they are seasoned well and yummy! Their teas are good too! The service is quick and friendly! I noticed that they accept card now ($10 minimum).

    Very similar to other boba shops like quickly and such, Panda Boba both share the same items. My Coffee-milk-tea with coffee jelly was just as I like it, stiff and refreshing. They are located on a busy street, but it is always a parking spot in walking distance. They also make the popcorn chicken which I love so much exactly as the other shops. It's always hot, crispy fresh to order. However, they are near a middle school and this seems to be the kids hang out spot. It can be a little annoying because the school kids are loud and rambunctious sometimes , and no one tells them to act accordingly; so most people order to go. You can't really enjoy a seat at their cute little bar, unless maybe during school hours when the kids aren't present and lingering around. Any who, Panda Boba is still a very good spot to enjoy a refreshing drink, just maneuver around the kids.

    In the midst of this damn pandemic, it's been 4-5 yrs I've even been here. Was at the post office, by so I thought why not. Ordered 5 drinks and 2 mini octopus. Lady who took my order showed me what I ordered and repeated to me to make sure it was right. Place is nice. Very empty without all the condiments and straws and seasoning as they have them in the back now.

    Really affordable and good drinks! Love their Mango coconut delight or Jazmine milk tea.

    Mango delight and strawberry mango green tea
    Bailey L.

    I really enjoy their mango coconut delight and the watermelon delight. It is very refreshing and not too sweet and the coconut goes very well together with the mango flavor. I haven't had the boba, but my friend and bf both ordered the regular milk tea and they liked their drinks as well. This place used to be Quicklys and the menu is very similar, but the taste at Panda Boba is much better in my opinion! I have also tried their curly fries and fried fish balls. The curly fries were really good and crispy - must add their white salt n pepper powder! The fish balls were just ok - I wanted curry fish balls, but they didn't have any :/ There is not much seating available so it's mostly a to-go type of place. Overall, it is my favorite boba spot out of the few places on San Bruno ave and it is also easier to find parking on this side of San Bruno as well!

    Jasmine milk tea with boba
    Alicia L.

    Got jasmine milk tea with boba! Cute local boba shop! The drink was pretty sweet for my liking and the boba was a bit hard or I just prefer really soft boba. You can taste the jasmine in the tea which helped with the sweetness. Look at how cute the cup is!

    Went here yesterday but my sister said that their popcorn chicken was good. So I ordered the popcorn chicken, pot stickers, and fries. It was ok. The chicken tasted like fish so I gave it to my grandma because I'm allergic to seafood. The fries were under cooked so I throw them away and the pot stickers were ok. I should have known something was wrong when she told me that everything would be done in less than 5 minutes. Never again!!!!

    This is what you got for $7. It used to be 2/3 bag full.

    I had shop this location for since the start building the boba business. Fried October is my favorite. It use to be $4 for small one and 6.99 for the big size ( almost full paper bag) . I went back recently. I only got a few pieces for $7 . Very not worth and more expensive than Olive Garden Very rip off

The cafe is down the street from Royal Gas and nestled between two residential buildings. Across from it, is a school where buses drop off children in the morning. Anyways, the cafe is cute and reminiscent of a good ol' neighborhood cafe with its modern twists (neon signs, nice coffee menu wooden lettering, a glass case displaying authentic brazilian pastries, which I believe most are savory and much more). To the left of where you stand they have refrigerated/ frozen goods that you can buy to take home which I thought was pretty neat. Instead of an açaí bowl, I ordered the Ipanema- (I love the song Girl from Ipanema, but I digress...it consisted of açaí, banana, and strawberries) I chose to have almond milk as the base instead of coconut and I loved it! The açaí berries was more dominant than the other ingredients, but I didn't mind because I never eat açaí. I also ordered pao de queijo to enjoy while seated- it was so delicious, the cheese inside mixed with the bread was so filling and spongy like). I ordered two beef pastries to go. This was my first time at this establishment and am excited to try more items in the near future!

I think Cafe de Casa also used to make them, but I haven't been in a couple of years. The Brazilian Spot offers açaí bowls, baked goods, and juices on the menu, as well has a small, hot buffet-style section where I think you pay by weight. There's also shelves of imported, Brazilian grocery items on the left wall, which is pretty cool if you're looking for more specialized goods that aren't typically available in your regular grocery store. There's a handful of tables and chairs, but not a lot of seating otherwise. The pão de queijo was still warm in the bag when we picked them up. Their version was too salty and dense for my taste; the pão de queijo of my memories from that spot on Balboa Ave was bouncier and airier than The Brazilian Spot's (they also had fun flavors like guava). If I *really* get a hankering for pão de queijo again, I might come back, but otherwise, the search continues.

What restaurant staffs two people at a time on a weekend??? How are employees supposed to keep up with demand and be able to take breaks? It feels like the owners are money hungry and uncaring about staff health and happiness. My friend and I went to grab bowls before heading to the park today and it took an hour and 20 minutes to receive them. And that absolutely wasn't because of the employees, who were working themselves to the bone to keep up with demand. Customers and especially delivery drivers were getting increasingly rude and irritated with the employees as the wait times got longer and longer; the employees were as nice as possible as they responded to people demeaning them and drivers arguing with them. The owners need to get a grip and provide appropriate staffing or allow employees to pause delivery services when they're slammed. Just because people will keep buying your acai bowls even after a bad experience like this, doesn't make it right that you treat your employees so poorly. They deserve better!
