This is the sibling review to the PHO shop, which shares the same space as TUDO. The space sharing is a WIN. We ate our pho then came ambling over to get some good old fashioned boba. I was honestly a bit worried about this place because of the mixed google reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised!
We got: Matcha Brown Sugar, Coconut Taro, Taro Dream (taro with strawberry), Peach Lemongrass Tea, Mango Passionfruit Tea. (All of the drinks we got were part of their 'specials' menu, but I love that they also have the option to create your own bubble tea if you want to.)
I personally had the matcha brown sugar, which I thought was excellent. The matcha tea itself had a strong matcha flavor that didn't seem like it was artificial at all. I didn't really think that the brown sugar flavoring added anything, though. If anything, it made it way too sweet, especially when the sugar was not adjustable, but I understand how people might like it.
The boba had a decent texture-- it was flavored sweet (which is usually good, but in this case it just added to the overall sweetness that was already too sweet) and was firm. When I first got the drink, the boba was the perfect firmness, but the coldness of the tea got into them and made them a bit too firm by the end. Still really enjoyable, though! My sister's coconut taro came with these jellies inside that she also liked.
A good note is that although they do advertise an option to adjust sugar, for most of their specials you're unable to adjust it. This made it so that overall, most of our drinks veered on the sweet side which is just something to keep in mind when you're ordering.
Thanks for the boba, TUDO! read more
