    Matcha milk with strawberry crystal boba
    Jan L.

    Saw their sign near Cheesecake Factory and wanted to give it a try. Menu was eye catching. They just opened for the day, so no line. I ordered a matcha milk with strawberry crystal Boba. It looked like Christmas in a cup and was very good! Two employees behind the counter were nice but spoke very quietly. Almost shy like so I had to strain a little to hear them. Gave them a Xmas tip in the jar! This will be a place to take my granddaughter next time.

    Logo is cute. I like the design of the drinks. I like the number of options they have.

    They have really huge bobas, but the quality in taste is not as good as other places I've been too. The boba tasted bad, not soft like most places I've been to. It was chewy, just not the right mouth feel. It was too sweet for my friend, but maybe he wasn't aware of a sugar adjustment he could have made. It's at a food court at the mall so there is a lot of places to sit and enjoy your beverage. I would recommend Teaspoon or Daboba versus this place.

    Cute logo, terrible taste. Couldn't even drink 1/3 of it before throwing it away. I got a green thai tea & it tasted like super watered down jasmine tea. The quality if super terrible. Would not recommend

    It taste like a cup of ice water with boba in it

    It taste like a cup of ice water with boba in it... come on a weekday lunch it's not busy.

    I love boba drinks and I've had them in many places throughout SD. Unfortunately this is the worst one so far. Strawberry smoothie wasn't made with real strawberries and very strong artificial flavor. The brown sugar boba wasn't made very sweet. The syrup sank to the bottom and not mixing well with the tea (not real tea). Their ice cream was good though but they didn't make them in house. I wouldn't come here for boba drinks again.

    I was at North County Mall and wanted to grab some dinner at the food court. I saw Tea Monks and couldn't pass up an opportunity to try a new boba spot. I ordered the Zen Thai Milk Tea. It wasn't prepared as quickly as I thought, especially with it being just me another person there but it was fine. Overall the drink was just okay. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything crazy either. Possibly tasted a little watered down. It is nice that there's a boba place at the mall now if you're craving some while shopping. Though I personally would wait to grab some elsewhere.

    Looking to hydrate yourself with something sweet in NCM? Tea monks is where it's at. This boba spot offers many options for your bubble tea hydration needs. I usually hang out for my boba teas in central San Diego, I was happy to find this spot when I went shopping at the North County Mall. I was pleasantly surprised to see different flavors I've never heard of before so my friend I tried some of them. We tried the Mango Lychee Milk Tea and the Green Thai Tea! Both of them were absolutely delish. However, I tried my lychee milk tea with the balls and didn't really like them as I thought I would. Boba balls are always best when ordering bubble tea! If you're here reading this review, what are you waiting for? Try it out.

    Fast service. Tasty drinks. Refreshing. Relaxing in the shopping mall drinking up my mango lychee milk tea. The iced coconut taro was ok too.

    The flavors were great. The boba was nice and cheery and the tea was refreshing. The colors were appealing and beautiful.

    Solid pho spot. Stopped by on the way home after a trip,…read moreand it hit the spot after being deprived of Asian food and filled with alcohol for the past 5 days. Service was great and accommodating for our large group. I ordered a regular rare steak pho. The rare steak portion was generous and cut to the perfect thickness where it wasn't so thin that it curled up in the broth, or so thick that it became tough and chewy. My only complaint is that the regular size bowl feels like a kid size. The contents of it was plentiful, but didn't leave much room for me to add bean sprouts in.

    Several people working behind the counter, yet for some reason and elderly man took the order who…read moreDID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. They got the order wrong SEVERAL TIMES. Did I have a complicated order? Was it a long order? Did I have special requests? Nope, the ONLY THING I SAID WAS "NUMBER FIVE" while pointing at NUMBER 5 on the Pho Menu... Unbelievable. With the amount of Vietnamese places within driving distance, I will definitely not be going to that one. After every attempt they made, they finally repeated back to me "number 5"... while writing down a completely different number on their handheld order device... If you put "number 5" on YOUR menu, and a customer is able to articulate the words "NUM-BER FIIIIIIVE", and your waiter can't understand that for the Fteenth time WHILE it's being pointed to on the menu and enter it in correctly, there is no excuse. If they can't put in an order of two simple words without it turning into that, I am horridly concerned for any guests who actually do have special orders, requests, or forbid have any FOOD ALLERGIES.
