I came here around 3pm on a Monday. You order off a kiosk machine. The store has a few seats, perfect for me to get some work done while I enjoyed the Rose Milk Tea which was delicious! The staff is friendly. The store has all kinds of cute plushy toys that you can purchase as well as some claw machines. They confirmed they did not have store-specific wifi but I could use the mall-wide wifi without issues. Parking was a parking lot for the mall.

This is a preliminary review for one drink only. They seem to be promising with snack items that could be good. I am optimistically giving them 3 stars despite not liking my drink. This bubble tea shop is cutesy with a theme color that leverages Tiffany's. The shop sells craft kits and cute dolls that distracted me enough that I forgot to take a photo of my drink. The staff was busy with the after-dinner mall wanderers. Many shops are closed (past 7pm), and they did a great job taking advantage of this bored crowd with next-to-nothing to see. (If you know Factoria Mall, you know what I mean.) Red Bean Milkshake, $6.75 - 2 Stars This is a very bland, watery red bean milkshake. I have had much, much better red bean shakes in the past (try Seattle Best Tea). The thickness of this drink didn't measure up to being a milkshake or a smoothie. The red bean flavor is barely noticeable. I was excited to find a place on the Eastside to have this drink, but nope, fail. On the other hand, try them as a gift shop. They have unique items.

Was doing a little shopping at Target, and decided to try the place out. Got the Grapefruit Royal Tea, which is one of my go-to flavors, and the Basil Popcorn Chicken. The Grapefruit tea was refreshing and tasty, and I enjoyed it at the 30% sugar level. The Basil Popcorn Chicken was also good; my bf really liked it. Would like to try other fruit tea flavors.

Cute shop inside of Factoria mall offering drinks and Taiwanese street foods. I got the red bean egg waffle and the rose milk tea with mochi and enjoyed it. The egg waffle was crispy on the edges and chewy and soft in the inside, and I liked how there were real red beans inside. The egg waffle is definitely on the plainer/less sweet side though so if you're a sweet tooth I definitely recommend getting the dipping sauce with it. Meanwhile the rose milk tea was very fragrant and refreshing. The rose taste is strong and is perfect for someone craving that floral taste. It is quite sweet though so I would recommend getting at least 50% if not 30% sugar. The cloud mochi was the perfect topping and I liked its texture. The store also sells Rolife blind boxes and DIY houses, in addition to having Japanese style claw machines in the back.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #94 I used to have a T4 within walking distance of where I lived. It wasn't my store of choice for boba, but whenever we had friends over who wanted both drinks and fried snacks, it was a great place to hang out, especially given the ample seating. I certainly wasn't expecting to see a location open up in Bellevue! This particular store, at Factoria, doesn't have quite the same atmosphere, given that it's in a busy mall. But the decor is the same and the menu looks somewhat familiar. There are two large kiosks right in front for ordering. Unfortunately the employees are so busy in the back making boba that they aren't available for questions (and I had several to ask). I do like how the kiosks show how many drinks are in the queue and the estimated wait time. For us, it stated 15 drinks and 6 minutes. It actually took 8 minutes so I guess it's pretty accurate. Soy Milk Tea, 30% Ice, 50% Sugar w/ Boba ($6.70) - The tea is actually quite strong in this drink, tasting deeply woody and earthy with quite a bit of smoky charcoal notes, which reminds me of a strong lapsong souchang. It's dark in color even after mixing with the soymilk and is a pretty thin and watery drink rather than being rich and thick in mouthfeel. The sweetness level, recommended at half, is not too sweet at all. Compared to many other boba shops, it's probably actually around 25% sweet (I'm guessing this only applies to the soy milk drinks since some other reviews state the drinks are actually on the sweet side at 50%). The boba isn't great however. The pearls are quite firm so they don't have a great chew or bounce. They are marinated decently, however, leaving the exterior softly disintegrating and sweet. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 I'm actually surprised that the tea flavor was so good since my experience with the other T4 location wasn't nearly as good. Unfortunately the boba isn't the best. I guess T4 is a good choice if I find myself shopping at the T&T next door again (doubtful given that the Lynnwood location will be opening up next month!). Bathrooms - None in store, but T4 is situated right next door to the larger mall bathrooms.

I think this place definitely has potential for 5 star but I would need to come back to try their other items. This place have been on my list for a bit and so I finally had the Chance to check them out. I came right when they were open and they already had a few people waiting to order. The lady there seems nice and knowledgeable. She was helping one of the customer with questions and even asked if I needed a bag for my items. What I got: Wintermelon with jelly warm 5/5: I love that you have the option of warm or hot. Warm was the perfect temperature to drink it right away. I got 0 sugar and was surprised at how sweet it was. The lady Said it was all from the wintermelon. Popcorn chicken 4/5; very flavorful but needs a crunch. Tofu 3/5; needs crunch, needs salt. I was surprised at how bland this was Overall, i definitely want to come back to try other things

T4 is a needed and nice addition in the Factoria mall as surprisingly, there was no boba spot here before. I was glad to learn of T4 opening in the area, especially since it's a busy shopping area and neighborhood. I ordered the mango jasmine tea and added coconut jelly, which was solid. I was able to order and pay on the touchscreen and customize the amount of ice and sugar I wanted. The order didn't take long at all to make on a Sunday afternoon. There were a few patrons sitting inside as there are a few tables and chairs here. The menu is large, with a lot to choose from. Whatever kind of boba or tea you're craving, they likely have it. In addition to drinks, they have snacks, like popcorn chicken and they also sell collectible toys in blind boxes. Glad to get my boba fix at T4 in the Factoria mall.

Pretty cool to have a T4 in Washington! I wouldn't say they're that well known but wouldn't be surprised if there's a decent following. I hadn't heard of them until I interned in the bay area and they were pretty common. That, combined with being in convenient locations, made me stop by every so often. Their tea is pretty good. Located in the mall by Factoria, there's plenty of parking, but it does get packed with T&T in the same area. Grocery shopping and getting boba is a great combo though. There are two machines to order from and they also sell some blind box items. Washroom available for the entire mall right next to T4. Felt a little slow, so expect a bit of a wait compared to other spots. Roasted Oolong Milk Tea w/ Mixed Pearl - I was expecting the mixed pearl to be regular boba and amber boba but it's a triple threat with the baby boba! Getting to try a variety is always nice. Regular boba was good, had a solid chew and actual flavor. Amber boba was new to me but was squishier and more fun to chew with a fantastic bounce. Almost like boba made in house elsewhere (so possibly made in house here). Unfortunately the tea was just okay. There wasn't a solid roast flavor and was more of a black tea base rather than oolong which means the tea was oxidized too much, or I got the wrong tea.

I came here inside Factoria Mall to have lunch. The inside is literally a light blue color with a simple and clean feel and blind boxes displayed around, and there's three tables to sit at inside if you do decide to dine in. It feels like a cute European cafe inside that's been cleaned daily. For ordering, you may either do so at the kiosk up front or order up at the counter. Servers will ask the same questions as shown on the kiosk in terms of ice levels, sweetness and toppings, so you won't miss out ordering either way. If you want boba in your drinks, you'll have to wait until around 12:45pm if you do come to get stuff before then. I got their royal fresh milk tea (30% ice, 50% sweetness, boba) and basil popcorn chicken (mild spicy). Together, they balanced each other; one was really salty and a little spicy but as expected of popcorn chicken, and the other was slightly watered down for 50% but oddly worked well. Tea is fresh and boba is average but relatively chewy. Popcorn chicken was definitely mildly spicy, though there was hardly any basil inside to be considered basil popcorn chicken. Everything I got was still quite enjoyable and I waited about 10 or so minutes to get my order. Servers were also really friendly. There's the jadelite royal tea and other specialty drinks I wanna give a try when I make another visit to Factoria Mall in the future.

T4 is inside the Factoria Mall. It replaced the previous boba spot that was there. T4 is honestly one of my favorite boba spots because of the Jadeite Royal Tea. Staff: Nice (5/5) Sanitation status: Super Clean (5/5) Jadeite Royal Tea(5/5) This taste like a high mountain Oolong Tea. My life hack is getting it with no ice and lychee jelly then putting it in the freezer. I love eating it this way like an icee Fried Calamari (5/5) I really do like the fried calamari here as well. I would definitely say it does taste really fishy so if you're not into that you probably won't like it that much. I like to get extra spice and seasoning as well. It stays pretty crispy and the inside is pretty soft.

Excited to have boba back in Factoria! The owner Joy is super friendly and takes the time to explain all the choices and a bit about their brand. Bright and a few tables available to dine in. You can adjust the sugar and ice levels. I would say it is on the sweeter side. The boba was perfect consistency and enjoyed the basil chicken too! Will definitely be back to try other drinks and food items.

We decided to go and try this out! They just opened yesterday! They have many things on their menu but I decided on the boba cake milk tea (80% sweet). The lady did say it was on the sweeter side but when I tasted the 80% I actually wish I went with the regular sweet. She was really nice and explained the history of the brand, along with explaining each drink! They have hot items as well, such as curly fries, and popcorn chicken, etc. It is located in the factoria mall! I'd come back here again to try other drinks. Next time I'd go with regular sweetness. Also be nice, it's backed up a little because of new workers probably.

T4 got best popcorn chicken is the best ! I've been going there regularly and both my friend and I can confirm it's a legit fried chicken place ! Drinks are good too but I love their chicken more .
