Update: you can order the popcorn chicken without the basil if you aren't a fan! The popcorn chicken is perfectly crispy but you definitely must be a very big basil fan to really enjoy it as it is very heavy on the basil. I'm not sure if you can order it without the basil. I also tried the rose aloe tea and it was good. The sweetness level was perfect read more

This rating is for popcorn chicken and value. I didn't get to have the milk tea but I had three popcorn chicken. T4 popcorn chicken is pretty consistent. I've had popcorn chicken from their Los Altos franchise (different ownership), but why mentioned this one? The price is so much cheaper than the Los Altos one. Milk tea for $3.5, popcorn chicken for $6? That's like $1 cheaper than Los Altos one. Better value. read more

Came into T4 yesterday to satisfy some snack cravings my boyfriend and I had! Everything was pretty tasty and seasoned well even though we came close to closing time (6pm). Will definitely be back soon to satisfy some cravings since this location was quick and close to home :) (P.s. we tried to call in and see if we could place an order through the phone but they didn't pick up) read more

I usually come here every week in between my daughters lessons. We always order a drink each and their cheese sticks. However their menu clearly shows In the quantity of 6. When they provided the item, they only gave 5. I don't really care about the mistake. But when I brought the issue up, the worker there gave me an attitude and say it's suppose to be 5 but we haven't changed the menu yet. WTF? You are supposed to honor what's posted, correct? And none of the employees care about making it right. read more

This is my go to place when I am in the area. Usually my husband and I come here like today. No dine in and the place has tables and chairs, but not for use . All orders are done online or you order from an iPad . Very little interaction with staff. Prices are reasonable and drinks come out fast . I would recommend checking this place out for your boba fix. They do offer alternative milks as well. read more

Always pass by this place but never stop by. Today got a parking spot and went in and try. Probably will be my first and last time. Staffs are friendly and price is reasonable. But probably other than that, not excited and very disappointed on the drink. I ordered the Royal Fresh Milk tea with boba. This is one of a classic and should not be too wrong to order. Tea no tea flavor, milk no milk flavor. Boba chewy but not sweet. Is just watery tea mix. Will not try again. read more

Basil chicken is hella good still, the ordering is pretty efficient and a nice place to sit with friends. Drinks are pretty good as well

Get the popcorn chicken and the elegant rose tea with aloe! The chicken is crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The portion size is generous and perfect for sharing, but you might find yourself wanting more. To wash down the delicious popcorn chicken, I ordered T4's elegant rose tea. The tea was fragrant and had a subtle sweetness that wasn't overpowering. The floral notes of the rose were perfectly balanced with the tea, resulting in a refreshing and delightful beverage. The tea was served with aloe that added a fun texture to the drink. read more

Love this spot! The food options are great! They have these Korean barbecue fries and they are so good. In addition to the food the drinks are very tasty. I usually get a winter melon when grabbing a drink here. read more

The food is just ok. But the service is very bad. I ordered online for pick up at 12:47 and I chose the pickup at 1:05. I was inside the store and watching the incoming and out coming orders and I saw a bunch of people ordering after me who got their drinks before me. After I waited for about 10 minutes, it updated and said estimated pick up at 1:10. In the end, my order was finally finished at 1:15. The drink that I ordered had light ice but my drink was lukewarm when I received it and only had about 5 pieces of ice in it. The cup my drink was in was also very sticky and gross to touch. I don't recommend ordering for pickup. read more

I was craving boba & since T4 was in the area, I decided to make a quick stop. I ordered online & it said the order would be ready in 10 mins. My order: - Fresh Taro Milk Tea w/ Pudding - Wintermelon Milk Tea w/ Pearls (pic not shown) - French Fries (pic not shown) *Toppings all cost an additional $0.75* There were 3 male employees working and they were working quite slow but then again, orders can pile up so understandable. However, I ended up waiting 15-20 mins and I was already in a time crunch. Drinks were good but my only complaint was that there were no labels for my cups so I couldn't identify whether or not my wintermelon MT was actually what it was supposed to be or was it a mistake since it literally just tasted like a classic milk tea. Overall, price is a bit expensive compared to the other T4 location I've been to and the cups are smaller for the price. Also, if you're looking to grab a quick drink, you might end up waiting quite some time. I'm assuming it can get really busy, especially during school days. read more

T4 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Kind of hard to find parking during peak hours. They do have street parking but you probably have to walk a block or so. I went inside to order egg puffs and they sold out so I ordered milk tea with small pearl and they sold out in small pearls too. No biggie, I just ordered a large boba milk tea and the taste of the tea was as expected. The boba was fresh and chewy which I like. I got my order very quick. The bathroom was outdated and dirty. Did not have toilet seat covers and the paper towels weren't inserted in to the machine paper dispenser which makes me believe that the staff is lazy. I feel like this is a mom and pop shop which I love supporting. There were no games available in the store but its understandable because it's still during the pandemic. read more

It's obligatory to get boba after dim sum (well, in my world) so we came here because my cousin was raving about the milk tea that he had the other day. I got the iced ginger milk tea with boba and it really hit the spot! The quality was decent and I didn't feel like they used powder. In fact, I found some real slices of ginger at the end of my drink which must have infused in the milk tea. The boba was pretty good with a hint of brown sugar and super chewy. Also, why I give it a five stars is because the drinks were under $4. What a good deal! You can't find that any more. read more

Wide variety of beverages, including teas, slushies and some foods. Good tasting quality drinks. Reasonable prices and sizes. The wait was not too long to order or to get the drinks. It gets a little confusing as to which listed teas include milk and which don't so be sure to ask. They will adjust the level of sweetness and customize to your liking. You just need to know to ask questions. I saw some photos of food but I didn't see a menu for it. read more

T4 - Many selections of beverages. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Busy location! Stopped by this T4 location in Millbrae one evening looking for refreshing boba drink. T4 is a Taiwanese bubble tea chain similar to Tapioca Express and Quickly. For those who are new to bubble teas, they are tea-based drinks which often includes a mix of tea, milk and chewy tapioca balls or fruit jellies. If you ever wondered why the super huge straws it's because of the quarter-inch, marble-sized boba that has to go through the straw. The menu, as all other T4's, had amazing selection of fun, flavorful, and fascinating beverages but I always get my coffee flavored milk tea with boba. I don't drink coffee but I will consume it in smoothie form... with boba! Always delicious and hits the spot. We also ordered their scrumptious Basil Popcorn Chicken, which was totally addicting, and also some fried chicken wings. We ate in. One side of the wall had a huge white shelf filled with board games which is a signature feature in all T4 cafe shops. They are free to use to patrons. Not sure when this location opened but it looks fairly new and modern inside. The white furniture seating makes the place look neat and clean. This is a busy location and the place was never empty the whole time we were there. We were lucky enough to find parking but I can see it to be challenging at times. Review #0660 read more

Solid milk tea! The only thing is that the location is filthy. Compared to other milk tea places, this isn't the best place to hang out with friends or study for an upcoming exam. I came in to get some Taro Milk Tea and couldn't really find a place to sit because it was either occupied with people or garbage. There were bottles on the floor, stains on the seats, and super sticky floors. If you're looking for a good grab and go, this is the place. But as I said earlier, this isn't a "stay and drink my boba" kind of place. As for the drink, it was actually tasty, the boba was just a little hard. Overall, I would've given the place a 4/5 if the location was somewhat clean but it was pretty trashed in there. read more

My family stopped by here to satisfy our boba craving. We got the Thai milk tea, winter melon milk tea, caramel milk tea, and taro pearl milk tea (all with pearl and 30% sweetness). I had the taro milk tea and I could feel the powder in my mouth. I mixed my drink a lot and it was much better. What saved the drink was the boba. The boba was sweet and chewy! read more

T4 - four cups of iced coffee on top of a car - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Not my favorite boba place, but it's not the worst. In general, T4 has a lot of options, which is nice because when I'm sometimes feeling adventurous and want to get something other than my usual Earl Grey milk tea, I have different options. Love that you can customize the sweetness because I prefer less sweet at 30%. I haven't tried different levels of sweetness here so I have nothing to compare my drink's sweetness to, but I thought that the drink was okay. I think this location has become more of a place I'll go to if I'm in the area and need a quick boba fix. I've also had their chicken, which I wasn't too big of a fan of. Something about the breading I believe gave it a weird taste. And the texture wasn't my favorite as I prefer it to be crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside. The service was okay as well. It wasn't horrible service but it wasn't memorable for being over the top. They were fast in delivering my food and drinks though. This location is very spacious so it's nice if you want to play games and hang out with friends over light food and drinks. read more

I love boba and have been here 20+ times. There's just something about the classical rose milk tea they make here I can't get enough of. Also, their boba quality is very consistently good. I love a lot of boba places around the bay, but many times even top-tier places have 'off days' where the boba is too hard / soft / undercooked / flavorless. I've only had one 'off day' with T4's boba after going 20+ times, and it wasn't even bad (slightly too soft). I'll never stop trying new boba places up and down the peninsula, but this place will stay my go-to local boba store as long as they keep that 'quality rate' higher than the competition. Yum. read more

T4, more like NO Tea 4 me, please! I ordered the Taro Milk Tea drink with boba pearls and I don't even know where to begin. The Taro flavor was not strong and it was very gritty. The boba didn't have a chew to it. It seemed like they were overcooked. When I used my straw to stir the drink, it was looking like a suspension. Things were floating in it. Maybe it was the Taro powder separating. I couldn't even drink half of it. I took a few sips and then just tossed it. Even Quickly's tarp drink tastes better. This most likely will be my first and last time here, sadly. Taro is one of my favorites and I thought it would be pretty hard to mess it up. I didn't bother taking a photo, bit I will upload a small clip that I took. I couldn't get my reusable straw to poke through lol. read more

Been to the T4 location in Natomas a lot and I love their drinks. Now that I am back and Millbrae opened one how can I pass up visiting this location. Drinks: I would say the drinks are pretty good and consistent with the other locations I have been to. I ordered the elegant rose aloe and there were rose petals in my drink! Snacks: Of course the most popular popcorn chicken! Every piece was some crunchy goodness. Try out the spices at the counter because it is super yummy. There's happy hour here and a student discount so expect a ton of people here! But it is definitely worth it. There are quite a number of tables/board games here for hangouts or if you wanted to just work. Most importantly, the drinks come out fast! read more

T4 - Elegant rose aloe - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

PARKING: Free street parking. There are plenty of spots on weekdays, but it gets really crowded on weekends, including the parking lots. I recommend parking at Safeway and walking. AMBIANCE: Cool and modern looking with lots of cool blues. Tons of board games to play! TEA: the great part about T4 is the customization options. There are also so many different flavors of tea to choose from. I got the matcha with fresh milk, 100% sweet and 30% ice. The matcha quality was so-so, but It was nonetheless delicious! The matcha might be too sweet for some, so I recommend lowering the sweetness. The boba was reasonably priced @ $3.75. FOOD: I tried the fried mushrooms, fried spring rolls, and basil chicken. In terms of value, the fried mushrooms were overpriced -- $5 for like 10 slices of fried shitake. The mushrooms were flavorful, but dry. Chicken, also $5, is the best value: large pieces and moist yet simultaneously crisp. The spring rolls were literally crispy egg rolls. read more

This place is a joke. I've ordered online twice and both times I go there to pick it up when it says "your order is ready" and they haven't even started on it.

This was my to go boba place for almost two years. Yes, they were inconsistent, but I loved their rose aloe tea. Until today. I usually get my tea hot; when they closed the cap, they didn't close it, so when I picked it up, the entire cup collapsed and it spilled everywhere, giving me a severe burn. This was so irresponsible; will not be coming back again. read more

Their Jasmine Milk Tea is consistently good here, just like their San Leandro location! I do appreciate that pricing for their drinks looks pretty consistent with the San Leandro T4, even though cost of living is higher out here in Millbrae. The interior is spacious and clean. They utilize FiveStars for their rewards program. They also have many games available. Their staff seems a bit slow. They seem to have one person making drinks, while the other staff just stand around. We waited 10 minutes for 2 drinks on an empty, rainy day! Other than that, staff is pretty friendly. The only qualm I have is that their boba is much too sweet. I usually order my drink at 50% or 80% sweetness and ice. The tea will be perfectly sweetened, but the addition of boba would make the drink far too sweet for my liking. Wish they could tone down the sweetness there! However, if you are not satisfied with your drink, you could always have them remake it, free of charge. Free wifi and games makes it a great spot to chill. Wouldn't recommend staying here and getting work done, as it can get quite loud with games and chatter. Street parking available. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area! read more

T4 - Jasmine Milk Green Tea with boba (left) & Peppermint Milk Tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

After dinner across the street, some of us decided to get some boba. Our group of seven adults and two kids came by on Saturday, July 2nd around 8:30pm for some after dinner tea. I ended up getting the Roasted Oolong Tea: 0% sweetness ($2.75), add Pearl (+$0.50), Grass jelly (+$0.50). The tea had great flavor. The boba was soft and chewy while the grass jelly was nice and silky. I enjoyed my drink. T4 is a fun place for kids as they have games you can play with. I played a couple games with my cousin's kids and had a blast. The kids enjoyed Apples to Apples which reminded me of a children's version of Cards Against Humanity. They also had Connect Four, Battleship, and some other games that reminded me of my childhood. Really fun place to grab a tea and play some games. read more

T4 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

To be honest, I'm really surprised that more of my Yelp friends (or people that I follow) haven't reviewed this T4 yet, especially since I know some of you guys/gals are true boba fiends. Then again, it's not as surprising as how long it took for a legit boba joint to open up around here (this is downtown MillbrAsia, after all). Yes, I'm aware there's a Quickly just a block away, but do they really count when they barely qualify as competition? Talk about setting a low bar of expectations... Visually, T4 is pretty attractive; the space is newly renovated and the decor is bright and clean. However, the menu looked even better - several drink varieties are offered with an even wider range of teas to pick from. Despite how unique some of them sounded though, I opted to go with just an EARL GREY MILK TEA with Boba ($3.45 +$0.50). Although my usual measuring stick for new boba joints is a Black Milk Tea, I thought it'd be nice to mix it up a bit (read: I couldn't find the Black Milk Tea on the menu...). While I did ask for "only a little bit" of boba (and still got a good amount), I didn't modify the drink itself in any way since I wanted to see what T4's "standard" is like. I figured it'd be overly creamy and sweet and, unfortunately, I was right on both counts. Oddly, the drink felt a little runny as well, which only further diluted the taste of the tea. What little I could pick up wasn't half bad though. As for the boba, it was actually pretty solid, as it had just the right chew to it. Even despite the lack of alternatives, T4 isn't too shabby, especially if you're in the area and looking for a quick milk tea/boba fix. At the very least, it's by far a better choice than the Quickly a block away (their Millbrae location is one of their worst). However, it's definitely not a destination spot you should go out of your way for. Instead, if you're willing to make the 10 minute drive, head to Sharetea in San Mateo for a better bet. read more

T4 - Earl Grey Milk Tea with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Probably one of the best boba places in the area! Unfortunately, they are pretty inconsistent. There's been a few cases where they have forgotten to add the sugar in my drinks. I wasn't going to bother with it but it had been the second time within a week that this had happened. I called to let them know that my drinks did not have sugar in it and asked if there was something I could do. The guy who answered the phone said no, we can't since I had already gone home. Asked if I could speak to someone else and he proceeded to tell me "sure, but they're just going to tell you the same thing." Talked to the girl on the phone and she said the next time I came in they would make me my drinks on the house. ( that's good customer service, the guy could learn a thing or two from her). Anyways, went to T4 during happy hour and got some popcorn chicken to find that a piece was still uncooked! Sadly this isn't the first time that I've seen happen. My coworker ordered popcorn chicken a few of her pieces were uncooked. Tip for all you popcorn chicken lovers. Break the big pieces in half before you eat it. I started doing it since that happened to my roommate! But I will be back, probably just for the drinks unless a better boba place in the area comes around. read more

T4 - See that leaning tower of "new" cups? Yep, that's the stack that fell to the floor before being placed back on the counter! Ew! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

Time and time again I keep going back to T4 in hopes that it will get better and yet I am let down every time. When will I learn?! The store is pretty dirty, it doesn't look like they wipe down the tables or mop the floors and there are lots of flies. They have a pretty large menu of drinks but everything I've tried tasted SO watered down. I've had the oolong milk tea, regular milk tea, soy milk tea, lychee smoothie, and others, and NONE of them have been good. The lychee smoothie was overly sweet and syrupy, and all the milk teas were bland. The boba isn't anything to rave about, it's just regular boba and not honey boba. The last time I went, I ordered a milk tea with boba and coffee jelly (a mistake but they closed down Quickly's in Millbrae) and a basil popcorn chicken. Not only did I have to wait 20 minutes for my order, but the milk tea was extremely bland/watery (per usual), and the "basil popcorn chicken" did not come with basil. Chicken also tasted pretty fatty and over-battered. Would not recommend this T4, I really need to stop myself next time I feel the urge to stop by (lol). read more

You can't beat T4's Monday through Friday 5:30-7:30pm happy hour prices: regular 16 oz size drinks are $2.50 (excluding toppings) and snacks are $3.25 (excluding egg puffs, wings, and sampler platter). I feel most boba milk tea shops charge around $3.50+ per drink nowadays. I've only been here a couple of times, once during a slow weekend and another during HH. All I can say when comparing the two is be prepared for a long wait during HH. Lines are long, and there are online pickup orders to factor into the wait time too. The basil popcorn chicken takes a few minutes to prepare, but they're delicious. A combination of white and dark meat pieces were coated in a light and crispy batter. The fried basil leaves - only a depressing two dainty leaves - were light and airy. I wished they gave more, as I love fresh basil. I've tried the roasted oolong milk tea and the classic rose milk tea. Both were delicious, creamy, and not too sweet. I could actually taste the tea, which is almost rare since these drinks tend to be overly and sickeningly sweetened to the point where you can't pick up the tea flavors. The boba was good too, with consistent texture and chewiness. I appreciate how T4's regular size drinks are 16 oz, as many others boba shops are at least 20 oz. More isn't necessarily better in my case, as I prefer the smaller size. Not worth the time to come from San Francisco, but if already in the area, T4 is a reliable boba milk tea option. read more
