    Rose Matcha latte with boba
    Wendy G.

    First time trying this new boba spot. The boba was just right, not too chewy and not hard. Nice to see another option for boba in town. Next time I'll try the traditional Thai tea or milk tea for full

    My hubbys and I were driving through the parking lot when we found Rare Tea. A display sign out front caught our eye; but two, get one free. We went inside and tried to order the two beverages, but were told that in order to get the special, we had to order certain drinks. Not everything on the menu qualified you to get the free drink. The promotion was very confusing.... They offer an extensive menu, but you could only order certain drinks for the promotion. The gen alpha cashier had to explain it to us gen x customers four times and we still couldn't comprehend all the restrictions. The ordering guidelines could have and should have been easier to understand. Then when we tried to order one drink within the minimal list for the promotion, it was sold out or unavailable!! Frustrating experience.... Of the two drinks we eventually got, they were tasty and the milk tea had a great amount of boba.

    I stopped by while running errands in the area since I spotted the sign and thought a cold tea would be nice and refreshing. It didn't disappointment. The store itself is really clean and has a nice aesthetic. It's a small shop, but there's a good amount of seating that's the perfect size for a quick drink. I ordered an Okinawa Mill Tea and was happy that the teas aren't too sweetened. It's a good mix of flavors where it doesn't feel like the sugar is taking over. There weren't too many people in the shop, so I got my drink fairly quickly, and you can see/hear them making your drinks if you're curious. I'd definitely recommend for a quick stop if you're in the area!

    Matcha latte with boba

    This place is so good!! I love boba places that give the option of no sugar added to the drinks!! (: the service is excellent and they have lots of options too. It's so cute inside as well

    NASTY!!!!

    The nastiest Boba I've ever tasted taste like straight up old tapwater. I'm not sure if they brew their Boba fresh every day I got the taro smoothie it's blended in some sort of water. It's so nasty and flavorful. I'm just I can't even drink it and I'm embarrassed to walk back in there and ask for a refund, it literally takes swamp water. I'm not sure what is causing this flavor. I paid $7.75 for this. There's something extremely off about either their mix or their blend, but it does not taste right. AT ALL. This is my first time coming here.

    I always go for the Mango Passion Fruit Green tea with boba! It is excellent and you can custom the sweetness level.

    It's my favorite! I would choose this over Starbucks any day. The service is always great, and it's a quiet place really good for studying, etc.

    Best Boba place in Hemet/San Jacinto Taro Smoothie is delicious. Being here 2 times and it's quick and always clean. Friendly guest service.

    Look at this work of art. I even noticed the barista admiring their creation from afar, lol.

    When I heard about a new boba teashop being built in Hemet, I was super excited. I don't normally drink boba often because the only places I am aware of that serves boba are either in Temecula or Moreno Valley, so this was a pleasant surprised. I ended up ordering the rose matcha latte w/boba; and let me just say, after trying this out, I feel like I might finally divorce Starbucks. The drink itself was so aesthetically pleasing to look at and admire, I almost felt sad I had to drink it. That being said, it tasted delicious, and honestly re-ignited my love for mixology and experimenting with different matcha drinks. I hope that this place stays open for many years to come.

    Words can not express how happy I am that Hemet got a boba spot! Rare Tea has a good variety of drinks to choose from and various toppings. I like that you can customize ice and sweetness, however I totally forgot and feel that staff should ask customers like other places do. Staff seemed a bit confused and could've been friendlier. I ordered the taro milk tea with boba and my daughter ordered Thai tea with boba. The teas were okay however the boba was delicious. It was soft and had perfect texture. I'll definitely check this place out again

    Blended Thai Tea without boba
    Valerie B.

    Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!!!! The girls helping me were so sweet and kind and made me my Thai Tea blended how I like without hesitation or attitude like other boba places. My drinks were made so quickly and the place was so clean neat! Definitely found my new tea place! 10000000/10 for incredible customer service!

    Yeah maybe instead of focusing on poke hire more workers. It shouldn't take 30 minutes for 1 drink to be made.

    Top Grill - 4. Chicken Bowl with Tofu Side And Steamed Vegetables

    Top Grill

    (121 reviews)

    The service was fast the ambiance was like any other restaurant…read more The food reminded me of a Yoshinoya. The meals that was ordered was a steak and veggie bowl, a chicken with veggies. Both bowls were portioned nicely with a good amount of veggies and protein. Each had a good flavor to them. But the steak was a little dry. However it just felt like something I could make at home nothing special. It was to have something that can be ordered in a pinch. I'm not sure if I'll be back but it won't be anytime soon since there's a lot to explore in this little town.

    The BEST BOWLS! Top Grill is one of my favorite eateries in the San Jacinto Valley, it's got…read moreauthentic flavors, great customer service, and fair pricing. My recommendation is the chicken/veggie bowl or the steak bowl, these two are tied for 1st place in my heart. The tofu/veggie bowl is a close second! The meats are grilled to perfection and the veggies never look sad. I get lunch here at least once a week lately, I'm so happy it's a local favorite! Top Grill deserves the praise. If you're in the mood for boba drinks or smoothies, I recommend the Matcha option, it's smooth and creamy. Top Grill also has a drink fountain and fridge if you're not in the mood for boba. The ladies at the counter recognize the regulars and welcome newcomers. I'm always treated to a friendly smile and polite customer service. I've even had one staff member remember my order from a previous visit! I can rely on Top Grill to be a no-frills visit. I typically order ahead, my meal is ready according to the approximate time given over the phone. I usually wait 10-15 mins, which is about the amount of time it takes me to get to this location. When I walk-in it's calm, clean and comfortable for solo or group diners.

I don't think it's a…read morebad thing, but I don't think it's completely fair to the servers, especially when the owner takes a share? Yes, she is also waitressing...so why not take the tips she earned and split that amongst everyone in the back? Why is it that all of the tips become part of her profit and her prerogative to split? It just seems sketchy to me. Hmmm?!? I also seen how the server kept wiping his hands on his pants, maybe he needs a short apron? Especially because he's bringing wet lettuce out to our table which I am sure he probably put on the plate and then wiping his hands on his pants? Okay, so how many times before has he wiped his hands on his pants? So, my lettuce is now contaminated? Ugh! Another thing, it's not cheap to eat there. It costed me almost $100 with tip for 2, and we ordered only 2 reg soup bowls, 1 large sandwich, 1 order of egg rolls and a boba drink. This isn't even fine dining and that's a lot of money to spend in this economy. Maybe I didn't like the vibe I got when I was filling out the tip part, as if it's an entitlement rather than an opportunity for me to give what I want to give based on service. Tips should NEVER be expected...but a right for the customer to express their gratitude for their service in this manner. I detest kiosks that ask for tips based on???? Bagging my food? The food industry has become greedy with its customers. It's a disservice to customers to ask for a tip for non full service restaurants, because it is like an extra tax, just like tariffs. Same product, but higher prices.
