The staff were helpful, but more smiles would make customer feel more welcome. I saw two fancy brewing machines and saw the tea dripping out so this is a good sign. The prices are a little higher comparted to other bubbles places, but the freshly brewed tea makes it a higher quality of taste. I ordered the Taro Queen and enjoyed, and you can choose the amount of ice and sweetness. Loved sipping to find the taro paste but not alot of tea to drink. Not sure if I come back as there are other options.

Located by the bus loop at Richmond Centre station - easy to find location…read more Store is very clean and bright - geared towards grab and go. Got the bubble volcano made with oat milk - I am fully aware there is no tea in this drink, and the cashier did note that. However the drink was very disappointing - as it was 25% ice, 65% FOAM and probably got like 10% worth of actual drinkable liquid. The Brown sugar taste was good , not overwhelming - however the amount of liquid for the price paid was seriously laughable. - Oat milk does come out of the carton pretty foamy after you shake it, however that doesn't mean you serve a cup of foam. Will not recommend - bubble tea scene is super competitive, especially in Richmond -

It was fun to eat on the tatami mats in the back - we got the whole space to ourselves since we came on a weekday. Note that the sets come in 2 and whatever tea you choose is for both people. The set was unique and very filling - it came with a mini unagi rice bowl, matcha yogurt with berries, sweet corn custard, 2xnigiri, and hojicha cake, etc. Their menu changes every few months though so best to check their Instagram to see what's new. Warning: Parking on the lot is 1.5hrs only for the whole day and they are strict and will ticket you - this includes if you are running errands earlier in the day in the same lot and had left and returned. Safer to park in the farther lot for 3hrs of free parking.

The old white lady among the young Asians hahahaha. Place was quaint, servers were friendly. You can see boxes upon boxes of mangoes. We drove from Seattle, and found out there's a MACU in Seattle near uw and one just opened up in Bellevue. I asked the owners to open one more south like Covington or Kent.

I absolutely detest false or misleading marketing. In recent days, a few instagram marketing ads…read morefrom influencers promoted the special for this weekend, supposedly for Father's Day. All ads noted that you'd have to order through the fantuan app. The promotion was $2.99 each for their most popular 3 drinks. So we had a family gathering and I had gathered everyone's order the day before since this was definitely a good deal and i always had relatively positive review for the vendor. My husband arrived and tried to order off the app. It turned out that he was only able to order ONE drink at $2.99 and the rest of the drinks were at regular price. Nowhere and not one influencer even mentioned that customers are only limited to one drink at the promo price. Husband inquired with the staff and they offloaded the responsibility to fantuan, saying that the promotion was whatever that was on the app. Did they not review the accuracy of the marketing posts? Or were the posts simply a walk-in bait? I just felt this was very dishonest. Fantuan had a 40% off deal. So instead of the total order coming to $24, with one promo price and all else at regular, it ended up being $20. In conclusion, we had expected to spend $2.99 per drink but it ended up being $5 per drink. What a scam. My family advised that we shouldn't have proceeded with the order. What's even worst was that all drinks were watered down. I read comments on Instagram and apparently many other customers also felt the same. I'm never going back to such a dishonest vendor. Don't try to blame it on fantuan app when you were the one who invited the influencers to do those media posts.

If you enjoy tea only on occasion,…read moreor are looking for high-tea or a place worth posting on Instagram, this is the wrong place for you. There is a minimum spend of $25 per person. While you can get by with spending less on slow days, teas here are not inexpensive. My wife and I shared a $30 pot of tea, and the menus had teas prices in the hundreds. Michael - one of the knowledgeable workers in the tea shop, educated us during our time there about how tea can be aged, and how aged tea is not easily found. Pretty interesting look into a world I know absolutely nothing about. The tea I had was good, but again, unless you have a ultra refined palette, you might not be able to fully appreciate the quality of the tea here.

He got a Blueberry Slushy drink and the wheel cake had red bean inside. Drinks are always solid at Peanuts and on the more affordable side too given what many other places will charge for bubble tea drinks these days. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of his wheel cake but that's no fault of the shop. Red bean is something I'm generally not crazy about to begin with. I have learned over the years that I can appreciate red bean as a bubble tea drink if it's all blended up. However, it's the chunks of bean that I don't like, and this wheel cake had chunks of bean in it. Might have gone over better with me if it had been filled with a smooth, red bean paste...no chunks of bean in it. That's just personal preference though. If you're someone who enjoys red bean paste and don't mind chunks, then you might enjoy this Taiwanese wheel cake.

Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.
