I do like the fact that they will use black or green tea with any of their drinks. I'm not a green tea fan, so that's an important option for me. I got a black fruit tea with pineapple and passion fruit with strawberry popping bobas. The tea had a perfect blend of flavors and the boba was cooked just right. We also got a cookies and cream smoothie with tapioca. My son said it was the best one he's had! He also got a banh mi. He said it was good, but not great. The pork could have been more flavorful and it needed more cilantro. Overall, I recommend this place! Give them a try!

Came to Mall of America and walked past this shop. Decided to stop on in as we saw they were…read moreselling mochi donuts. We got the 6 for $18 variety box: fruity pebbles, churro, taro, circus cookie, strawberry, matcha. My favorite was the fruity pebbles and matcha. Fruity pebble had the perfect light crunch as a topping and the vanilla glaze wasn't overly sweet. With the matcha it wasn't too strong of a flavor which I like and prefer. It had the right amount of matcha flavor. Taro was good but the flavor was quite mild. Wish it was more taro forward. You can never go wrong with churro flavor as it's just sugar and cinnamon. It is a safe pick. Circus cookie did not remind me of the glazed circus cookies at all. Not bad and not overly sweet but definitely not reminiscent of glazed circus cookies. The strawberry was something. There is this top layer of strawberry dust which was overly sweet but it did taste like strawberry. If you're looking for something sweet and tart then this is for you. As for the texture, I love that the mochi donut was very light, airy but still had that chewy mochi texture you're looking for, but not overly chewy. I also love how they're ball shaped donuts so it's very easy to share and try all of them without having to take bites from it. You do have to order from the kiosk so it may take a minute to order especially on a busy day. Though when I went it was quite busy, the workers did a great job getting the drinks and orders out in a timely manner.

It's a self order via kiosk situation. I opted for the signature milk tea with boba (50% sugar & less ice). The kiosk was easy to use and tipping is optional. It was quite busy when I was waiting to order and waiting for my drink. The drink was tasty and I loved that it was in a hard plastic cup with a plastic lid on top of the plastic clear cover...cause anytime I put the straw in other boba drinks, a bit of liquid comes out...I love a drink that's not messy! Yay!

Went for the Hello Boba Block Party!…read more Ordered the Bananaccino. I didn't like it that much. It didn't have much Banana flavor and tasted kind of weird to me. My BF said it was ok but he wouldn't order it again. We were going to order The OK Way which is brown sugar flavor. We want to try that next. The lemonade we got was really good! Hours- Mon-Thurs: 10:30am- 7:30pm Friday/Sat: 10:30am-8pm Sun: 11am-7pm The restaurant was super cute inside and shows you how to make a drink, especially if it's your first time or want a suggestion!

The only thing I would recommend is having sweetness level to adjust at the food truck .

Do not recommend this place. Customer service was disappointing…read more When ordering, I specifically asked for a kid-friendly drink recommendation and was given a strawberry fruit tea with popping boba. It ended up tasting extremely bitter--more like strong black tea than anything strawberry. Paying $7 for a drink my kids wouldn't even touch felt like a waste. I went back to ask if they could make it sweeter or offer a different drink. I wasn't asking for a refund, just a chance to have a better experience. They added sweetener but it still tasted very bitter and said their policy doesn't allow to change drinks. To make things worse, staff were speaking to each other in another language right in front of me instead of communicating directly (when they both can speak perfect english), which felt unprofessional. Overall, disappointing experience and not very accommodating to customers.

This is such a hidden gem in a great location. It's a small shop that doesn't have a huge menu but…read moreeverything is delicious. They have a wide variety of drinks and toppings and what makes them special is they offer fresh pressed sugarcane and if you have never had sugarcane I highly recommend, it is a refreshing sweet treat. You will feel like you are on the streets of Asia. They only have cold cut and shredded chicken options for banh mi or you could get the special which has cold cut and shredded chicken which is what I got. There was not a lot of shredded chicken in it but it was a really good banh mi. The flavors were there and the bread was crispy. No complaints. They offered milk substitutes for my friend who is lactose intolerant. Prices are pretty decent here. Banh mi is around $8 which is pretty standard but it's a really good banh mi. Drinks are also around $7-$8 depending on what you get. We went right after tet and we saw they had these cute reusable cups there, they said the promo was over but they gave us these cups for free since we bought enough. There is not much seating here, most people seemed to just pick up to go but our group likes to sit here and talk and it's a nice ambiance for it. I'm hoping if they get more popular they can expand their seating more but it's not necessary. If you are looking for a good banh mi and good boba come here!

If you want better drinks... go down the road a couple mins more to shaking boba in Lakeville! It won't disappoint

I got their "twilight" drink, I think it was called, strawberry flavored and I just had to get the bottle! It was $7 and that's not even bad! My normal boba drink place charges me almost that much and I just get a regular plastic cup. I love the cup and I love the drink. It was perfectly balanced and I just had a great time here. There are plenty of photo ops here and I plan to definitely come back for sure. Try this place out, you won't regret and after you do, you're welcome.

Great tea place for boba and loose leaf tea lovers! We had the taro milk tea and matcha lemonade…read more The taro MT wasn't too sweet and the taro flavor was apparent. My friend said the matcha lemonade had more of a lemon and matcha flavor. We thought it was odd the menu board gave the option of "hot" or "iced" for lemonade since lemonade is never hot. Plenty of seating, most of which was open. They have loose leaf teas and other merch for sale. I bought a boba sticker for $1! Service was friendly. Only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was no AC (or it was broken?). Given how humid it was, the cool air would have felt good. I don't live in the area but would come back if I did, especially if the weather was cooler.
