Has vegetarian options, the Fried Tofu is great. The ambiance is fine if you want to get back to what life was in the 90%s. It's a necessary get away from the fake modern crap we experience every day elsewhere. Don't hate on their style business is hard these days. At least their drinks and food are good. And no complaints about service. read more

Honestly, I like that there's no more seating inside. The service seems much faster now. Also, when the staff is all girls, the operation is smoother. That's a thinker. Just stopping in for the usual milk tea no boba no ice and spicy popcorn chicken that's never spicy. They are always consist on the delivery. 1988 cap girl does everything. Must be the boss. read more

Best boba and nicest costumer service! I've been coming here for years and the honey green tea boba is the BEST! Also, I'm pretty picky about fried tofu but this Quickly makes hands down the yummiest! Full of lots of crispy fried bits and soft, silky tofu with amazing sweet and sour sauce. The lady who runs the shop is always so friendly and knows everyone's orders. A can't miss when in Chinatown! read more

Quicklys is a great place to grab a drink, hang out with friends, and get some work done. I come here often as a default meeting and studying place because of the availability of seats and outlets. The boba is 4/5. Nothing spectacular but still good. I most recently had the QQ drink which was too sweet for me. Other times I have enjoyed the milk tea and Jasmine tea flavors. read more

Great selection for refreshments and add ons but doesn't taste real! Ordered taro milk tea with boba during this visit. It's hard to say that I'm satisfied with my drink. It tasted like it was made from powdered concentrate. The drink screams artificial and watered down at the same time. The boba was so gummy too. Their spot is perfect hangout spot for young adults. They have snack foods available. There's a limited amount of parking in front of the store; street parking or paid parking lot is another option. Quickly is a huge chain; it already has a name for itself. Personally, they need to step up with the endless number of local boba joint that's spread across the city. read more

(Snacked 05/11/14 SU @ 12:00pm): Like a mathematician would say, "That sums it up!" As stuffed as the family and I were, there's always room for boba! So before we even went next door at Ocean Seafood Restaurant to celebrate Mother's Day, my nieces and I saw Quickly and collectively said "we had to get boba afterwards!" And we did! Here's a quick little story: Honey Dew Melon Milk Tea w/Boba - Large ($3.45) - One of my favorite flavors, I had no problem slurping this and all the wonderful boba even after I gorged myself at dim sum. It was nicely cold, the boba was perfectly cooked (not too chewy nor hard), and there was a good amount of boba. High fives all around! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fNGzGskj-sNFUeZjPQoPDg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Service - We were greeted immediately by the young girls behind the counter. We were the only customers ordering and we'd never been here before, so it took us awhile to scan the wall menu before we decided. But once we order, our five drinks came out lickety-split! Parking - They shared parking with several businesses within the outdoor strip mall they were located in. I believed there was a small fee as long as you were validated. I ended-up parking across the street at a private lot ($5.00 all day) because I saw the entrance to their lot was packed and crammed when I first drove by. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - This place reminded me of any ice cream parlor or donut shop with its fluorescent lighting (some natural lighting was able to come through the front glass façade but an awning blocked most of it), standard tables and chairs, a large front counter that you immediately saw once you entered, and some random advertisements hung on the walls. It was rather spacious inside. I recalled seeing a table and chairs outside, too. I didn't recall any TVs but there was background music. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, next time I'm in this part of Chinatown, I'd consider a mad-dash to Quickly for some boba love! Oh so many flavors and variations to try! And, they also serve some food and snacks. But seriously, it's all abou the boba. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $4.00 for my share; no tip required). Possibly some change more than others but it's all good! And, they accepted my credit card of choice (with a $10.00 minimum, I believe)...AMEX! 5 STARS read more

Everyday or every few days after school I would come by here and go for a quick boba run. It was fun while it lasted. The person in the front tried to charge me more than what I had thought I would originally pay for. This and lollicup are the ones I know are the OG boba shops that are still open today. I wasnt able to see if TenRen is open but if it is, add that to the original OG boba shop thats open. Quality of the drink & boba were as good as I remembered but the customer service...it has gone down by a ton! read more

My friend really recommended this place because it's cheap and in NorCal but I was really unimpressed. It may have been my choice of drink--I got the tapioca milk tea with red bean ($3.05). The boba was fine and good texture and the tea wasn't half bad but the red beans were really disgusting. Super powdery and broken and they tasted like they'd been sitting out for a ridiculously long time. So gross. My friend got the mango smoothie with boba which was much better. I might come back and try something else since the drinks are really cheap and they have other toppings but I've been a little scared off anything but the boba. Super gross red bean :( read more

Made an impromptu stop here after grabbing some dim sum, and it was a good end to lunch! The menu has a wide spectrum of choices from snacks to smoothies. I ordered the Thai tea with grass jelly, and my girlfriend ordered the watermelon slush with egg pudding. The Thai tea was a bit too sweet, but the grass jelly proved to be an effective neutralizer. The watermelon slush was very refreshing. Conveniently, they take card payment if you make a minimum purchase of $10; otherwise, it's a $0.50 fee. You can also post up and do work here, because there are tables and a few outlets. read more

As the duchess with over 131 check-ins I can safely say the boba milk tea is consistently good. I've never had a bad drink from here and that's saying a lot. This is McDonald's level consistency. They've changed owners, made upgrades to the interior and changed staff a few times over but that didn't change the consistency. I am genuinely impressed and they continue to get a solid 5 stars. Excellent!!! read more

Wow! Boba tea and other Asian specialty drinks starting under $3.00! Tried the following drinks and all tasted sweet and flavorful: -Taro Shake -Green Apple shake -Lychee Green Tea The boba was warm and soft. Not stale like a lot of other places these days.

This place is great! A friend recommended me I'm so glad she did. Since then, I've visited this place 3 times in a row. lol The first drink I ordered was the original Boba Milk Tea. Then I came back to try the other flavors. Their deep fried snacks are fantastic. You can choose between spicy or not. The spiciness / chili powder (?) has the scent of cinnamon. Many times have I thought that I had churros rather than popcorn chicken. lol Would definitely come back in the future! I have a stamp card to fill! ;) read more

Jaime is a very rude person. Not nice and mean. She may be nice for a short period of time. But then she walks away from me and it makes me mad. I didn't say anything about this to her because I didn't went to argue. And said some mean things too. I would let people know that sometimes when a person like her is nice that it's just a mask or is temporary. There doesn't seem to be any small talk with them. Not even for a minute. Sad. I won't be returning. read more

The food here is meh! We just stopped here for a small break. The restaurant is filled with kids who are on their phones playing games or getting into mischief. There were three girls in the restroom doing god knows what! The bathroom is all tagged up with pretty explicit words. I'm surprised this restaurant allows these kind of things to go on during business hours. So we ordered the fried tofu and the curry fish balls. When we got the fish balls, they looked nothing like the picture. It looked like small meat balls smothered in this lumpy curry. The fried tofu tasted better than the fish balls. I can look past the food but I'm giving a three start because how unappealing the restaurant is to allows kids use the tables as gaming events instead of having actual customers sit and eat. Also, allowing 3 kids to occupy the bathroom and to come out one at a time. That bathroom... just repaint it! read more

After a nice brunch of dim sum, my pals and I bid adieu to my friend's parents and walked next door for some drinks for the long trip. We were lured in by their ad for $1.28 snacks and ended up ordering and spending quite a bit more, and even then, the total bill was super cheap. I got a mango slush with apple jelly. It was a little too sweet for my tastes, especially at the beginning, but improved significantly when mixed all together. The prices are totally reasonable and were about 30% less than any other place I've ever been. They get you on the upsells, but the total is still pretty reasonable. Great price, good service, and decent drinks. They've even got dog-friendly tables outside. That's a win in my book. Go get yourself some sippers for a long road trip or even just a nice day!

Eh. This place disappointed me so much. The Quickly at home (Atl) was so much better. The chicken nuggets. Oops. Ahem. Popcorn chicken along with taro and avocado smoothies were just not the same. [If you're ordering the chicken nuggets, west coasters call them popcorn chicken. Yeah. My friend and I weren't aware of the slight verbiage change.] The chicken tasted off. My friend said they probably didn't use real chicken pieces but probably another part of the chicken (tendons, muscle, fat, or whatever example he used - can't remember) as a sub instead of the white meat. And our taro and avocado smoothies tasted powdery (more than it should). There was just something in the mixture that tasted strange. Although we didn't mind the limited seating area or funny tower fan that was keeping us from being overheated, we were overall very disappointed. read more

Stopped by ChinaTown this Quickly store. Highly recommended. It is way better than the Quickly stores i went before. it has the basic drinks like Quickly drinks, and also have many more special boba milk tea and fruit tea. Me and boyfriend tried two, both of them taste very good and also looks very pretty. Love the drinks so much. The employees here are very nice. I am a very picky person honestly, but they are very nice and patient. Helped me find the drink i really like. Besides l, the store is very spacious and clean.i like the music here too, so that I stayed for a while lol. Overall, I will come back again for sure. Like it very much. read more

Found this place by pure chance...literally! So I'm strolling down Broadway yesterday when this Chinese lady in a wheelchair kindly asked if I could push her across the crosswalk. I was like, "Of course" and got her safely across. She explained that the battery on her electric wheelchair had given out while she was on her way to a place down the street. (she said she had Polio) so I offered to push her to the location...and we arrive at QUICKLY. But then the wheelchair gets stuck right in the doorway. Won't budge, even with all my strength. Thank God no customers rolled up at that time. (The cashier dude was like, "Uh, what's happening here?") LOL Anyway, eventually I switched the wheels to neutral and with great effort, got her through the doorway and up the counter! Wow. She offered to buy me a drink and I declined at first but she insisted and curiosity got the better of me. I ordered their Wintermelon ice tea, which was really good. I was happy to learn that this is a Taiwan food/boba shop. (The lady told me she was from Taiwan) Looking around, it has a family-run feel to it. Floors were clean and the tables were spotless. (I think it was the dad who pulled up out front and started bringing in a re-supply delivery.) Lots of clean tables to sit at. Quiet and chill place to relax and have a conversation. As for the lady, when the fire dept. guys arrived to help her (she called them) I bid her farewell and continued on my journey, grateful to God for having the ability to walk at-will, unassisted, and the precious independence it affords...a gift I so often fail to fully appreciate. read more

My all time must whenever in China town! I love their taro slush with boba and lychee jelly But when I'm craving something a little lighter I get the green tea with the grass jelly!

I don't visit quickly often these days. I'm not a huge boba enthusiast, but every time I do come here I'm reminded of my childhood. I remember regularly coming here as a teenager to get snacks with friends after school or even just use my laptop. Quickly has made some major upgrades over the years (in their menu and their furniture!). There's loads of snacks here now and expanded menu choices. The drinks are also solid. Growing up, my favorites were the almond and taro milk tea. I'm no longer a teen, so I always get my drinks with half (or no) sugar! The Thai tea is great with reduced sugar and pudding. Yum! Also the fries have ALWAYS been amazing. I love getting mine spicy . The business is family owned and the workers get your drinks out fast. Coming here and hearing the customers speak Chinese/Cantonese/ Guangdong dialects reminds me so much of my youth! Quickly has been a community staple for years. Definitely try their drinks and snacks!! read more

Ever since moving to Chinatown from DTLA I actually find myself coming here more than I thought. I am pretty basic and usually only order thai tea or cookies and creme with no boba cause I drank/ate a lot of boba while I was in high school which is ironic too cause I hated thai tea also (off subject LOL) I have had their popcorn chicken which were tasty and have also ordered their fries, I have not yet tried their combo meals but I am sure I will in the near future. They also do stamp card so don't forget to bring yours or just start a new one. read more

Although I enjoy quickly every now and then today wasn't one of does days. I place my order with a elderly looking worker and I told him I wanted 2 spicy pop corn chicken 2 chilli bbq fries and one order of shrimp, I waited 20 minutes for my order which wasn't the problem at all the problem was that when I got my order they only charge me for 1 order of chicken and one of fries I was a little disappointed cause honestly that was going to be dinner for my wife and I. All I'm saying is that next time they pay better attention while someone is placing their order so things like this won't happen again read more

Bubble Tea + Popcorn Chicken = Win Win Iced Green Tea was good for the price. It's not the best bubble tea out there, but their deals are awesome. The flavor of the tea and consistency of the tapioca balls were good. Their popcorn chicken is delicious. Get yourself a bag and eat it with the skewers they provide. It'll keep your hands clean from all the seasoning. Service was quick and friendly enough. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Place is clean. Get your snack on for an affordable price. read more

Quickly is one of the best boba places in Chinatown in terms of overall quality, taste, price, and service. Ten Ren's has better quality, but they close easier and it's more expensive. Sweet Town has better service (at times), but their drinks aren't that great, etc. You get a drink with an add-on for under $3. What a deal?? The drinks aren't premade, which is great. They allow you to customize your drink, so I can get my almond milk tea with grass jelly and less sugar. It tastes amazing each time. Their food items are also reasonably priced. They make things more interesting by having certain specials at times, as well as adding new drinks that aren't listed on the main menu, such as the rainbow pudding milk drink, which is a sweet milk drink with a bunch of puddings - all different colors (strawberry, taro, egg, etc). It was so odd, but it was so interesting at the same time. Their milk tea and almond milk tea are rather standard. Their coffee milk tea is okay - a little watered down, but for that price, I shouldn't be expecting a rich bold coffee flavor. Awesome fruit jellies, grass jelly, and pudding. Mediocre boba pearls, but I prefer lychee jelly, pudding, or grass jelly in my drinks instead. They do accept credit card, but the minimum is $10. Take advantage of their stamp card: free drink after 10 purchased. Their drinks are cheap enough as is, so it's great that they add in a stamp card as well. Definitely my go-to place for boba in Chinatown, unless they're closed when I go, so I go to Lollicup instead. read more

79 cents for tapioca milk tea? We did a double take at the banner. We are boba-holics. Well, Nacho especially. The banner on Broadway in Chinatown lured us across the parking lot towards Hill Street into the plaza where Ocean Seafood, JR Bistro, and Ten Ren are nestled together. The cafe is bright, clean, and spacious, and conducive to group hang-outs or laptop-use/studying. The white chairs ain't so white already for a place that has a Grand Opening banner, but it's OK, you're not slurping your tea off them. The Wi-Fi is free. Check the password next to the cashier. The plaza parking is $1.75 for 2 hours if you can't find street parking. The regular prices are pretty decent. $2.19 across the board, but add 50 cents for chewables (jelly, beans, boba) in your drink or to make it a Large. Take a look at my photos for the menu. Best deal on the menu is the tapioca milk tea (first on the menu) - $2.19 regular price without adding 50 cents for boba. Nacho approves of the milk tea here and trust me - he's pretty particular about his milk tea. Come here quickly (pun!) and get the 79 cent tapioca milk tea (or slush or iced coffee for the same price). It's in the small size but for me it was the perfect serving. read more

This Quickly is quite possibly the strangest Quickly I've been to. Their menu is significantly different than all the other ones and their drinks did not taste the same as all the other quickly I've been to. First of all, their menu was ALOT smaller/ shorter than the ones in the Bay area - they also didn't have some of the add-ins other Quickly have. Secondly - their drinks were SUPER SWEET as in "I'm probably going to get diabetes after drinking this" sweet. The Quickly I usually go to do not make their drinks this sweet. We ordered a strawberry milk tea and it had CHUNKS of syrupy strawberries in it. It was barely even mixed in (let alone blended in) and the chunks of strawberry were so big I couldn't even suck it up with my straw. Finally, the tapioca balls were mushy ass hell. It was so mushy my mouth couldn't tell the difference between the mushy syrup drenched strawberry and the tapioca. Thank god I live in the land of abundant Quickly locations - where I can get my milk tea/boba fix without getting a sugar high. BTW.. after drinking the strawberry milk tea en route back to San Francisco ( I had no choice since I was thirsty) I had to pull over TWICE to throw it back up. read more

It's a Quickly. In Chinatown LA. I like this Quickly location better than the Lollicup in Chinatown because the seating is more and the shop feels airier. I still have yet to try the Ten Ren in Chinatown. But the long and short of it is, you can easily and dependably get your above-average boba milk tea here at this Quickly. Parking sucks at this Quickly location, park and walk somewhere else or be like me and bike. read more

It was a saturday afternoon bout 5pm or so, boba ran out while the lady in front of us took 4 boba drinks and we can see the one scoop of little boba left for hers.. we were up next, guess boba was out since works n boss exchange words. Lol. Nobody told us that we didn't get any boba til we got our orders. Almond milk tea was aweful sweet even with ice. Popcorn chicken combo was just ok. ‍ I doubt we'll come back. I can tell by alot of disappointed voices of the customers after us when they were told bout the boba lol. Sigh. You guys try, that's why I'm leaving it a 3 stars. Good luck. read more

Well you really can't downgrade the stars with the amazing service and the greatest deals they have at this place Got here last night for some boba and snack, surprisedly one of the workers, I don't know his name but I'm guessing he's Mr.Big Boss since I have seen him telling the others what to do. But yeah, REALLY REALLY cool, chill, funny and friendly guy who tend to remember me and the drink I order( So this is how I know I have earned myself the "regular customer" title) 100 points for your observation, sir Yes, I know that it was just a business method of taking their customers' money, even so, you can't deny the fact it is very nice that someone actually noticed your existence, especially at a place like Quickly's where hundreds of different people walk in and out everyday Just a little message for you sir if any case you come across this review, keep up the great service and as long as you still work here, I will continue to come and support read more

Went here because BubbleU was closed. Their drinks are ok, grass jelly was an odd texture and I've worked at a boba shop before so I could tell it should have been thrown out. Their winter melon tea was ok. The shop looked dirty and not really inviting. There was a setting area which is nice. Tried their popcorn chicken which was pretty good, fried tofu was ok. Employees were friendly. Would come back but wouldn't be my first choice. read more
