Called in for pick up and ordered a green tea Thai tea and popcorn chicken. The girl asked if I wanted a sauce so I got the aioli not realizing it was $1 more but really didn't need it for the popcorn chicken. Super cute spot inside. Popcorn chicken was good. Wish the green tea Thai tea had more tea flavor to it. But would come back for the snacks. Ordered the Asian chicken sandwich a different time and it was great too. The gojuchang sauce was on the side so I was able to add it to the sandwich to my liking. Chicken had a good crisp to it.
Spacious, family-friendly, fast-casual Korean-style eatery in San Bruno. There is a lot of space inside the restaurant which made it comfortable. The service was quick and friendly as well. I got the kim chi fried rice and WOW- so much flavor! It was a little spicy for me- but the flavor was dynamic and the portion size was enormous. The kim chi fried rice made for fantastic leftovers the next day for lunch!
Societea is a boba place in San Bruno. They have boba and snack. The snacks include fried chicken and rice plates. The drinks include variations of boba and coffee. I got the taro cloud and fried chicken. Both items were a 3/5 for me. The drink was too sweet to a point that it just tasted like sugar. There was a hint of taro, but I did not taste much of it. The fried chicken was flavored well but it was dry. The service was great, I was able to get my food very quickly. Even though the food is mediocre, I have to give it to the vibes. The vibes are immaculate! This place is very cute.
We live in a Societea indeed - and this one is pleasantly large, with a standard front area and 3x the space in the back. They have board games and lots of sockets everywhere to charge and get work done. The music was a bit loud for me. But nothing headphones can't deal with. Service was great. Fast and personable Food was really good. Menu has food snacks, and drinks. Drinks were about even mix of matcha, milk, fruit, and coffee offerings with option for oat milk. Matchagato was good of matcha with ice cream on top. Pork belly banh mi was warm, fresh, good, and crispy. Some pieces were extra fatty but overall solid.
Love the variety of food and drinks on the menu here, and very spacious seating area. Service was fast and friendly. I love the fun decor, art, and inviting ambiance. This is a solid spot to chill with friends and enjoy a drink or two! I tried the Brown Sugar Latte with boba, 50% sweet and I really liked it. Definitely recommend sticking with the sugar adjustment, I think that it might be a little too sweet if it was regular sweet. The boba was perfectly chewy, not hard nor too soft. I prefer milk teas over other types of boba and this one was on point! This was not my first time here and I remember I've tried their tteokbokki in the past. Looks like that's no longer on the menu but I enjoyed it! Would definitely explore their food options here.
Whoa - this place is HUGE! Don't be fooled by their humble storefront.. they have a whole section towards the back with plenty of comfy seating, coffee table style seating for easy conversation, and work desks for those who wants to hang out and study and work. Their drinks are pretty good at good prices. And most of all, I really like their K-Style snacks: K-Potato Dogs, K-Cheese Dogs, fried chicken nuggets, etc. They are all super yum and perfect for hang out and studying. Nice clean environment. Friendly service. Good drinks and snacks. Thumbs up!
The drinks were good but the food was even better. We got the gochu burger and Bahn mi and enjoyed both meals. The guy behind the counter kind and helpful too, and recommend 25% sweetness on drinks which was a good move. Pretty fast service with a lot of indoor seating and free wifi as well.
More than just a teahouse. The menu offers traditional dishes with their own twist. Drinks are always delicious. It gets busy at certain times so they added a self ordering system so orders can be made without waiting for a clerk. Plenty of seating for large parties or individuals. Many have made it a hangout to do work or socialize while enjoying great drinks/food. Stop by and give them a try.
Nice vibes and asthectics! This boba spot is also a good selection for food and milktea. I ordered a bugolgi banh mi and a mango black tea. Pretty good and tasty, I like how they ask if I wanted jalapeños or not, very considerate for the non- spicy eaters. Lol The service was fast and sufficient. It was clear where to get your drink and they have food delivered to you. Will come again and bring my laptop and appetite!
Nice interior space with comfortable seating. I got the Taro Cloud that I was quite happy with. Would like to return for the food as it looked like a good selection.
I tried one drink and took a few sips and straight to the trash unfortunately. Extremely sweet (i asked for 75%) can't imagine full sweetness. I ordered the popular Taro Cloud and it tastes like cereal milk. The garbage can area was filled with trash and sauces smeared on the tables near by (it was not busy) to be left like that . If this is your fav boba spot, enjoy.
I absolutely love Societea! This spot is always such a fun and cute place to stop by--it's super clean and has a really welcoming vibe. It's my go-to when I need a sweet pick-me-up. Their boba is so good--perfectly chewy and flavorful every time. I've also tried their food, including the sandwiches and bowls, and they're just as amazing! Everything I've had has been super yummy, fresh, and full of flavor. They offer great options and it all feels well worth the cost. Definitely a fave for drinks and bites! Service is always nice. Parking isn't too bad, there's street parking and also lots in the back.
I wanted a small bite, so ordered a popcorn chicken ($8) and Jasmine milk tea ($6) at the counter. The cashier was super patient. You can also sign up for rewards too. The restaurant was modern and there's plenty of seating in the back area, definitely a good place to hangout. My food was pretty quick which was awesome. I also saw other drinks being made and the matcha color looks like the powder may have been oxidize. Sadly, the Jasmine tea was water down. The boba can also be better, it was just super soft which can be seen in my photo. Uneven shape in my drink. Popcorn chicken can have more crunch, though the chicken pieces were tender. The spice coating was uneven, but it had great flavor.

Wanted to stop for food while dropping off a family member to SFO airport, and happy to have found this place! Came on a Sunday evening and parked easily in the back in the shared lot with Isla. Menu was diverse, drinks were pretty basic, workers friendly, and dining area & bathroom hecka nice! Appreciated them showing Pokemon & Spongebob lol. Loved our lemongrass banh mis and bulgogi bowl. Would definitely come again when in the area! read more

Cute boba shop with lots of seating in the small strip area in San Bruno. The review is only for the drinks. We got the matcha latte and the brown sugar matcha. The drinks were okay and we know it's not ceremonial matcha but the grade is pretty subpar. The boba was too soft and did not have the bouncy firm texture it should have. The drinks were more of 2.5/5. Would love to try their food items in the near future. It's nice that they have a tuesday deal going on, buy 1 get 1 50%. Other than that, service was good. Lots of photo ops and very family friendly. Having games would be a great touch as well! read more

Cute place! I got the lychee green tea with boba. Tasted like the usual! Prices are fine but I dont think its my top places to get boba. They just use syrups like t pumps. There wasnt anyone there and drinks came out fast which was good! read more
Seems like a good spot to chill with boba and snacks, since it is so spacious with seating in the front and the back. They have a lot of snacks ranging from entree type items and appetizers. Drinks seem to be on the sweeter side and are okay. Tried the popcorn chicken, waffle fries, and Brussels sprouts and would say I liked the sprouts the most, followed by the waffle fries! I got a black milk tea which tasted a little like earl grey which I suppose is technically a black tea blend. The milk teas are made with half and half but they have soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk for substitutes! Small parking lot in the back but also a lot of metered street parking available! read more

Came here after dinner for drinks. Got the mango freeze with aloe Vera and it was a bit tart. I do like you can customize your drinks. Plenty of seating and very chill relaxing environment. They have games you can borrow. Service was quick. read more

Nice staff, and good food! Cheese dog had a good cheese pull. Popcorn chicken was fried well. I like spicy but the spice powder had another flavor to it so would recommend getting it on the side if you want to try it first. read more
This is an awesome boba spot with a 5-star rating for their plethora of snacks and HUGE seating area! Very rarely do I see boba spots with this much space. Great place to study, kick it and gossip, play board games, play card games and/or watch national televised sports. They share designated free parking spots with Isla restaurant on Cypress Ct, but if they are taken you would have to pay for street/lot parking. You order, they give you a number, and call your number when it's ready. They hands down make the best brown sugar iced matcha with a very generous amount of brown sugar, a true sweet treat. Will try their food next time I go! read more
2.5 stars. Updating my review to lower my rating by a whole star because my last order was just dissatisfying. Again, I ordered the Vietnamese Classic Sandwich, replacing the Headcheese and Slow Roasted 5-Spice Pork with extra Pâté and Pork Roll. The banh mi was well packed with meat and vegetables, but I noticed that the Pâté tasted more like liverwurst rather than the usual pâté used in Viet sandos. What a difference this makes. No likey. At all. For my beverage, I got a Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba, Grass Jelly, and a shot of Matcha, 50% Sugar Level. The boba was nice and chewy, but the drink, itself, was a bit chalky. Thumbs down. Service was average, according to Z who picked up our orders. When I expressed that I think that I might not like Societea anymore, V commented that their space is cool inside. I just don't know if I will want to return. read more
Just finished lunch nearby and stopped here to get some refreshments. I had higher expectations for this place--but my visit fell a bit flat. I wasn't super impressed with the drink I ordered and I thought it tasted "meh." I ordered the mango yakult and had little mango taste--mostly tasted like yakult. I thought it was much too sweet and had I known it was going to be so sweet, I would had adjusted it. They didn't ask if I wanted to adjust the sweetness and I didn't think to inquire. Pretty large space, a little deceiving if you've never been here...there's a large back area with plenty of seats to hangout and chill. Maybe I'll give it another chance if I'm ever in the area again, but I definitely won't go out of my way. read more

Double stuf & Mangonada WAS BAD. The Mangonada tasted like vitamin u would take as a kid with no fruity flavor.The Double stuff was WATERY. imagine dipping your Oreos in water instead of milk. Definitely not worth the 41$ i spent on all these, but i will give credit to the loaded fries, the meat didn't taste the most authentic and fresh more like microwaved but the fries underneath it was extra crispy just how I like it, so yummy. Quickly boba was ordered later that night to remove the guilt from unworthy boba. The interior decoration was beautiful but apparently it did not accommodate to the menus taste. As well as the bathrooms, you would think that it looks really nice in there the bathroom must be the same, it took me 5 separate flushes for one regular flush no toilet paper in there too. The lock of the door was very questionable, you could easily try to tug the door but because the lock isn't even fully supported its just a chain that connects the door as for an apartment with two locks, it is very unpleasant if someone was to try and open the door and they can have much more than a peak they can fit half their body in there. read more

Was so surprised to see how huge and spacious it was in here!! I got a mango tea with grass jelly and adjusted the sugar level to 75%. My order came out super quick. The tea was super yummy and refreshing, loved the mango flavoring. They had such a great variety of food so I will definitely have to come back to try it out! read more

the brown sugar was really good, a little bit on the sweeter side so i'd recommend ordering 25% sweet HOWEVER the mango calamansi was really underwhelming and tasted like water with a hint of calamansi. i'd also like to include that the girl who took our order seemed like she hated her job and barely wanted to take our order. i was really nice and greeted her hello and she stood there not looking at me or saying a word until i told her what i would like to order and even then she was unpleasant. read more

Wanted a place to chill and play some games so we went to Societea. The spot is decorated really well and has lots of space. We ordered the wintermelon milk tea, taro cloud and popcorn chicken. They ran out of boba when we were there and said it wouldn't be ready for another half hour or so. The drinks were good, probably one of the better wintermelon drinks I've had. The popcorn chicken was really interesting; while it tasted good, it's definitely different from what a typical popcorn chicken would taste like. It's likely the type of meat they use-- it reminds me more of a crispy pork belly type of texture / taste. For games, they don't leave them out for grabs -- you'll have to exchange your ID in order to borrow one. Overall, a fun spot and would definitely recommend if you have a large group. read more

Do they still have the Furi Furi sprouts? because I'm not finding it on the app menu (that I usually order from)
Hey I noticed the same! I asked and they said yes they do still have them!
