    Okinawa Milk Tea
    Anh T.

    On a weekday afternoon, there were a few people waiting in line in this T4 location that could seat around a dozen people. Similar to the other locations, this location had its signature white and blue interior decorations. I ordered their Okinawa Milk Tea at half sweetness and less ice with boba, while my friend got their Mango Royal Tea. The Okinawa Milk Tea was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I enjoyed the texture of the boba. Their Mango Royal Tea was tasty & enjoyed by both me and my friend. I haven't been able to try one of the T4 locations in a while, but it is still of similar quality since last I tried!

    This is the sweet and sour popcorn, chicken with rice and the potted Oreo milk tea

    I frequent hear often. I feel it's one of the last affordable places in the Bay Area.. most popular item. Everyone orders is the popcorn chicken.. but I personally like their crispy fried fish. With the Oreo potted milk, tea.. if you're really hungry, they have rice and noodles I feel the prices for majority. Items are very good. Also, they have a dine in option where you could sit down and enjoy chatting with my friends.

    Drink was very refreshing, foods were yummy. They were kinda busy, and they were efficient. I like there are many seat, I could chill in the store.

    T4 Oakland is a go-to spot for delicious popcorn chicken and tasty milk tea. The flavors are great, and the prices are reasonable. I really appreciate how customizable the drinks are--you can adjust sweetness, ice levels, and toppings to your liking. Highly recommended if you're craving a solid boba and snack combo! Service was efficient. The inside has multiple tables and they are clean.

    I recently visited this local boba place, and I'd describe my experience as a mixed bag. I've come here a couple of times before and each time I've found the boba flavors to be quite indistinguishable from one another. Undoubtedly, the unique charm of this place lies in the variety, but unfortunately, they all seemed to be heavy on the syrup which makes it difficult to appreciate the nuances of the individual flavors. From a taste perspective, it is quite hit-and-miss--some days I've had good boba and on others, I have been left a little disappointed. It's not that the boba is bad, but it falls short of being great. That said, I believe they could do a better job at delivering a more flavorful and distinguished boba experience. The place itself is warm and inviting enough to make a late-night run for some boba. It's not extraordinary, but it does have that cozy atmosphere I enjoy when I'm out for a casual drink. The ambiance manages to make those relishing sips of boba just a tad more enjoyable. The service was passable but there's room for improvement there. Despite everything, I'll probably be back at some point, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. This place is more like a fallback option for when those late night boba cravings kick in and Shooting Star is closed/too full.

    Food was good. Boba was a little soft. Clean and not too busy after lunch. The ordering machine was a little weird but functional.

    Very yummy side dishes and so many delicious drinks to choose from. The service was great and the people were super friendly and welcoming. The Ambiance is cute little shop with a "Breakfast at Tiffany's " kind of theme.

    Roasted oolong boba

    Average tasting boba. I had a roasted oolong 50% sweet 100% ice. Super reasonably priced! Under $4.50 for a regular size. There was a good taste in my drink and the boba was plentiful at the bottom. Would go again!

    Inside

    I came here on a Friday night after picking up sushi around the corner. I ordered online and their online platform is through DoorDash. When I went to pick up, my order was not ready yet. I was surprised since there was 4 workers and only 1 making drinks. Workers were being mean to the newbie by having him make the drinks while complaining about how hard it is to teach people to make boba. I didn't like how they were out in the open saying these things when people were waiting for their orders and felt the hostility. I got a taro smoothie with boba. It was alright. It wasn't too sweet but there was a good amount of boba juice that made the drink taste a little weird. Inside was clean and brightly lit. Probably would not go back unless I was in Chinatown and craving boba.

I also appreciate that the menu includes photos, which makes choosing much easier. I ordered the jasmine green tea with sweet creme and really enjoyed it. The tea flavor is on the stronger side, but the creme balances it out nicely. I also ordered the spicy popcorn chicken, and it was fresh, well‑seasoned, and extra crispy just like I requested. No need for extra seasoning at all. Service was solid, and overall this visit was much better than my first. I would definitely stop by again if I am in the area and craving a snack.

The cafe wasn't empty but it wasn't that busy either to me. It just felt like the staff were having fun by themselves or maybe they were with their friends.
