We all enjoyed our drinks a lot and loved the cool tea machines in the modern space. I had the osmanthus oolong tea with salted cream foam and it had a great tea taste.

The inside seemed nice with plenty of decoration although most of it was just the merchandise they were selling. Also there were some Christmas stuff still lol. I ended up getting an Oreo Tiramisu boba tea drink. I don't see that very often so I decided to go for it. The presentation of the drink was well done, with a cookie sticking out the top. You also get a random cup (unless you pay extra for a choice) where it's a cute cartoon corgi something. The drink itself balanced the sweetness and tea well. There isn't much service as ordering is done primarily through a kiosk, so not many thoughts on that part of the experience. Not bad overall.

Refreshing beverage in Seattle, Washington…read more.. We were walking around when we saw this boba shop near the Large Gate at the entrance to Chinatown. My niece suggested that we see if this place was actually Seattle Best Tea. The interior was crowded, so we thought that it must be a popular place. There were people standing in line and a small group sitting in the back of the shop. Service was efficient and polite. I was told that wintermelon tea cannot be served hot. That's ok... I can drink it with less ice on a chilly, cloudy afternoon. Since toppings were free, I got rainbow jelly. Yay! Thank you! We'll be back if we're in the area again!

Yeah, it's all about food and drinks when I get any chance I can find. It's literally bright yellow inside and there's only a bench you can sit at near the front counter while you're waiting on your drinks. You place your orders at any of two kiosks to the left-hand side of the kitchen just beyond the front counter, and you can redeem coupons on it like I did. I got what was essentially a BOGO coupon, so I got their Sakura Jasmine Milk Tea to share with my bestie, and he got an extra Tie Guan Yin milk tea for himself for later. The sakura jasmine milk tea was appropraitely sweet even though we got it on recommended sugar and ice levels, and is a step or two beyond the standard milk tea in that the jasmine tea itself is strong but not strong enough to nullify any sweetness added into the drink. Lychee inside the drink also provided more sweetness that the milk tea itself didn;t have too much of. Between this place and ComeBuyTea nearby, I could honestly go for either and I know I would get quality milk tea regardless! Sunright in general has relatively fresh milk tea to begin with from previous visits to their other locations so I see myself making some return trips here.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #118…read more Located across from Westlake Center, this is a full fledged Xing Fu Tang, complete with a bubbling black sugar boba wok and their signature fortune sticks. I especially love the menu towards the rear of the store that depicts all the drinks and whether they contain dairy or tea. Walking in on a Thursday evening right before dinner, it was surprisingly crowded inside. All the seats were taken and there was a small line waiting to order at the kiosk. Luckily the staff is efficient, and I had my drink within a couple of minutes. Taiwan Boba Milk Tea, Large, 25% Sweet, Less Ice ($8.29) - Xing Fu Tang really focuses on two things: black sugar and milk. That focus is evident in this drink, where there's a strong mineral essence from the sugar, and somehow a really strong milkiness (despite being dairy free). The tea? It's an afterthought, with only some flat malty notes to complement the rich and sugary drink. With that being said, the drink is flavorful enough that I don't mind the lack of tea quality at all. Now the sweetness level could use some adjustment - the milk tea by itself is probably good at 25% but with so much of the boba marinade added, it goes up quickly. I might even order 0% next time. In terms of ice, they have less ice as default which I would consider similar to full ice at other boba shops. At least it seems that way since they used large cubed ice in their drinks rather than more typical chipped ice. This drink comes with boba. The boba is clearly homemade, being almost the same texture throughout, and is somewhat lumpy and cuboid in shape rather than perfect spheres. It marinates in the black sugar for a long time, rendering them superbly sweet and sticky. Unfortunately they are there for perhaps too long - at least when I visited, they were near the bottom of the wok. This means the boba is entirely too soft, with a single bite slicing through the sides of the pearl without too much resistance. They also tend to clump up, forming larger conglomerates that get stuck in the boba straw. While there's still somewhat of a bounce, it's noticeably less than perfection. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 I visited again a couple of weeks later for the Oolong Milk Tea, to see if they could eek a little more tea flavor out of another kind of leaf: Heaven Roast Oolong Boba Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice ($8.29) - This tea is a bit more flavorful than the regular milk tea, with a somewhat vegetal and earthy essence that kind of reminds me of Tieguanyin. There's even a slight drying astringency. I forgot to review my notes and ordered this at 50% sweet, which is way, way too sweet for my tastes. I'm definitely going to go with 0% if I visit again. The boba is the same slightly mushy texture as the last visit. At least they are consistent between visits? Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 So overall: the tea that Xing Fu Tang serves is alright, muddled but better quality than a lot of other boba shops. The boba unfortunately is mushy, which I honestly can't say I've seen all that often. I do have to give them props for making their boba in house given how rare it is. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

Location is near all the bus stops and easy access to the light rail. Store is bright and modern. Menu has cold brews, teas, slushy drinks, smoothies, rice yogurt, house made lychee jelly and much more! Definitely a spot with a little something for everyone. Service can be brief and cold. Tablet ordering seems the way they want you to order. We stopped by during the soft opening and again I stopped by few days after grand opening. The Jasmine Green Milk tea is delicious. Tried the boba and seems they really skimp on that so I'll skip that next time and just get drinks with no toppings. Boba was perfect taste and texture though but for how little they give it's not worth the added price. The Orange Peach Oolong my boyfriend ordered was amazing. A perfect and refreshing summer drink for sure. I tried the Matcha Croffle my second visit. It was $4.95 I think so basically five dollars which is a better price compared to other shops I've seen selling croffles. Croffle took some time but was presented well. I thought it was tasty but nothing special. On top of the croffle is like a simple sweet custard whip and they sprinkle matcha powder on top. I am glad I gave it a try but wouldn't order it again. The basque cheesecakes look intriguing and popular but small and pricey so don't know if I'll try that in the future. Overall I would definitely return and now consider this one of the better tea/drink options in U district. I recommend the Jasmine Green Milk Tea!

The Homie and I decided to checkout their soft opening within the first hour of opening (5/25/26). It is at street level of one of the newer constructed residential buildings. Residents have convenient key card access. Helpful staff and the menu had a decent variety of beverages. Seating has sidewalk facing counter seats, a six top communal table, banquette seating, and a two one tops. Clean, bright, and comfortable. Faux plants though. Shelving with available board games. The overhead music is a bit odd...think instrumental muzak for Bruno Mars?! Beverages that we selected were an Assam Black Milk Tea w/o ice or toppings and a Royal No.9 Milk Tea w/ice & no toppings. The latter is very tea forward and thankfully not overly sweet. Definitely more room and seating than my prior visit to their CID location. Between the blenders whirring, smooth jazz/instrumental, screeching chairs on the floor, the loud exuberant gamers...overall not giving me a cohesive vibe. It improved briefly after some folks departed. Good to see a steady flow of customers. I did like my milk tea though. Many choices for bubble tea enthusiasts in Seattle's University District and UW campus, The Alley UW is now the latest addition.
