    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!

    Popcorn chicken
    Mike L.

    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.

    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!!

    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).

    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.

    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

    $12 breakfast burrito in the city?! What a steal…read more Gilberth's Latin Fusion caught my eye as I was passing by looking for coffee and breakfast. The rustic/home style decor was very welcoming and it seemed that a lot of the folks knew the cashiers/barista! Some people even stopped by just to say hi and welcome back the barista that was on leave for a bit. I forget his name, but he was a lovely person to chat with! I ordered a Breakfast Burrito with Carne Asada ($12) and an iced latte with Oat Milk ($6). It took ~15-20 for my burrito but the latte came out within five minutes and was made fresh with Portrero Trade Operations coffee beans! While waiting, I ended up buying a bag of coffee beans with flavor notes that were so unique- "cola, tomato, and herbaceous". For $25 you get a whole pound of coffee beans, which most only offer 12oz now. Get a bag while you can! The breakfast burrito was served with one green and one red salsa plus a small bag of chips. The burrito was decently sized and very juicy. I was a bit sad to see that the cheese wasn't melted inside, but the fresh pico de gallo inside totally made up for it. The carne asada had a great bite to it and everything was seasoned well. The salsa verde was absolutely stunning. Not too acidic and just the right amount of spice to go with my burrito. I ordered for takeout, but next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to consider dining in for the full experience.

The staff was nice enough and the ambience was much better than I expected based on the outside. The menu feels random but normal enough. They have your staples. I started with the fried brussels sprouts. They had a nice flavor to them, but a lot of pieces were flat out burnt. Honestly, I was too hungry to complain about it so I just ate it. I had enchiladas for my entree. They somehow reminded me of a great lasagna, but they were just OK as enchiladas. The ambiance is nice enough to warrant a return visit, but I'm not rushing to come back. Related: they only serve beer and wine so there's that

Booze of course! I grabbed a beer for me and my partner and grabbed 20 wings. She wanted the none sauced ones while I went for the Spicy + Lemon pepper wings.

My partner and I ended up getting the margarita pitcher deal that came with 50 wings... (Hear me out). We got pretty tipsy off of the pitcher because the bartender put in a lot of tequila. So it's definitely worth it. We ate as much wings as we could, and saved the rest in our own Tupperware. There was a sign at the bar telling patrons that you couldn't take out any leftovers, but when we spoke to the bartender, he told us that Tupperware would be extra charge so we were lucky that we brought our own at that time. Now, the wings: Some of them were pretty dry. I'm assuming the bar would cook them before the happy hour rush and then they would reheat them with the sauces that people ordered. My partner, and I tried the buffalo, lemon pepper, teriyaki, and mango habanero. The mango habanero was spicy and sweet. I think that was our favorite. I was a little disappointed with the lemon pepper because it was really salty. And the other two were pretty mid. The staff was really nice. The vibes were pretty nice. We were early to the happy hour so there wasn't that much people and we also sat outside in the back patio, which was pretty cool. I could definitely see this bar being a very popular spot. I think if you come here with a big group of people and get the margarita pitcher with the 50 wings, it's a pretty good deal splitting it out with your friends. They have other deals as well where you would get a certain number of wings if you ordered a beer or a beer pitcher, etc. We just wanted to get as many wings as possible and get tipsy lol. I recommend this spot if you're meeting up with friends or had a long day at work.

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front. The patio is covered so when it rains, it's also ideal. Feeling bougie? Order some oysters and a glass of one of their fancy cocktails. Handicapp or have kiddos? They got you covered. Need a cool place for a dinner date? There's tables inside. Have a group? Also not a problem. Feeling peckish and just need to get out of the house? Go sit at the bar, order a beer, and watch the game. Make sure to order the thrasher fries with malt vinegar salt and pepper and Dijon and black pepper aïoli. It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic. The service here was outstanding. We came early on a Tuesday, and the bartender was great. She was very helpful and excellent at her craft. The other staff members were equally friendly and so welcoming. We don't get out as much as we'd like to anymore because we have a little one so it was awesome to go out and be treated with such kindness and great hospitality.

The menu is above the cashier, so you just order and pay up front and get the receipt with your order number. They'll call the number out when it's ready. I think there's roughly 8-10 tables, if you decide to dine in. ***OUR PICKS*** We ordered 20 wings with 2 flavors. LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS ~ lots of pepper flavor but the lemon did not shine. And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
