    408 Boba showed up in the Too Good To Go app and I had to Yelp it to make sure it's a real store. I was pleasantly surprised by the rating, so decided to give it a try. At 8:30pm when we approached the plaza, I had a thought that maybe it's not the area a boba place should be. In fact, it's located inside a convenience/liquor store. The menu is mostly focusing on slushy and tea, not a lot of milk tea choices. Compared to all the cute boba places and their creative menu, this place has nothing to match to that standard. For TGTO pick up, the service was quite nice. I was a bit skeptical at first as two Indian or middle east looking men fumbled at the back kitchen a bit and an old Indian man came to help. He was very friendly and gave me a bag that had 4 drinks filled inside. All for $6.99! He wished me good night and told me each drink had a small note at the bottom of the bottles with the flavors hand written on. I appreciated the effort. I got 3 different flavors of tea and 1 taro milk tea. The taro milk tea tasted just like a thick liquid. Having been spoiled by real mashed taro inside creamy milk, I found this drink just ok. The 3 flavor teas are lychee flavored jasmine green tea, red guava flavored black tea with grass jelly, and grapefruit flavored jasmine green tea with brown sugar boba. They are just syrupy tea with the texture thickened by the sugar flavor syrups. I think for tea with sugar syrup, $6.99 for 4 isn't too bad for their margin recovery.

    The owner is super nice and he even gives free samples! This boba place is located inside a liquor store. The drinks were very refreshing, especially in the hot weather. I got the coconut horchata with coconut jelly and my mom got the coconut Thai milk tea. I'm definitely going to come back for the other flavors!

    I was a little skeptical as my partner and I arrived and realized it's part of a liquor store. The reviews online were good for the most part so I genuinely wanted to try it. Both staff members were very welcoming and explained the drinks they recommend, which were the fruit teas. We were given complimentary fresh lemonade as we waited for our drinks; 10-12 minute wait. DRINKS * Coconut Thai Latte with boba and less sugar: -- I was excited to learn that fresh young coconut juice is used to make this drink and that they recently improved the drink making process. However, I was disappointed with the taste. The ratio of Thai tea to young coconut juice was off, and I could hardly taste any Thai tea at all. While I appreciate the use of fresh juice, the flavor didn't work for me. * Banana Black Sesame:This drink tasted better than the Thai tea, with banana and black sesame flavors. However, there was a residual powder of sorts that did not dissolve completely.

    New boba shop alert! Extremely friendly worker at the front, and delicious drinks! They also sell some baked goods like donuts. A bit unassuming given that they newly opened 2 weeks ago and are still getting things in order, like getting a sign xD... Saw a new option on Too Good To Go nearby and decided to give them a try. My partner and I got to try 4 different drinks and was unable to customize anything, and was pleasantly surprised and liked all the drinks overall! Also appreciated that they labeled all the drinks! Note that I typically like to customize my boba/fruity drinks to less than 50% sweetness usually, but here are my thoughts!: Lychee Jasmine Tea w Lychee Jelly and Popping Boba - this was our favorite. Definitely sweet but I enjoyed it a lot because the jasmine and lychee flavors were both strong and I love a strong jasmine tea. The lychee jelly and popping boba paired super well with the drink overall. Black Milk Tea with brown sugar boba - The black tea could be a little stronger (I like my milk tea with stronger tea taste typically). I've had blander black milk teas and this was only lighter but was still enjoyable. The brown sugar taste wasn't super strong, unsure if they intended it to be stronger, but I liked it the way it was. Kind of reminds me of HK style if the tea was stronger. The boba is less chewy and a little harder than some of the better boba out there, and I think it was a bit inconsistent because some pieces were softer/chewier than others. But I've had worst boba so again, overall not bad! Tamarindo - I'm not an expert on tamarind-flavored drinks since I rarely get them, but it's a little tart and sweet with a fruity taste. My partner quite enjoyed it. Horchata - solid horchata; milky and on the sweeter side, the cinnamon flavor isn't as strong as other horchatas I've had. I prefer the milkier and less cinnamon version here actually! Would definitely be open to coming back to trying more of their drinks! They have a lot of options that are fruity, non-fruity, and smoothies available. For a quick boba fix in this area/plaza without driving further to other boba shops, this is a pretty solid option.

    This is part of 408 Liquor, which many maps have been updated to show up in search, but their signage in person won't show anything and thus seems a bit sketchy. It'll be a counter on your right as you enter with two signs of their menu and a few pastries. Black Sesame Milk Tea 2/5 - Kind of super gritty so was kind of overall distracting from anything else. It does seem that all the gritty particles do clump up at the bottom if you leave your drink alone for more than a few seconds so that was not fun as well having to constantly stir/mix. Do appreciate the nutty tones initially from the black sesame but otherwise after the first 10%, it kind of mellows out to nothing. "Brown Sugar" Boba 0/5 - Literally tasteless, consistency was probably very slightly overcooked so not terrible in that area, but again, tasteless boba. Overall, I would just consider it just slightly better than Quickly's as it's a bit more than just "sugar water". Nonetheless, bad location, small menu (which the options are usually those from powder/syrup options), subpar boba, not sure if I'd choose to be back.

    Coconut horchata and mangonada

    A boba shop inside a liquor store but don't be fooled, the drinks were delicious. We even got samples which helped us make our selections. Great service also! I'll be back.

    Watermelon Juice with Tajin and Coconut Horchata

    The past two times we've come 408 Boba the owner is super nice and lets us sample different drinks! Both times each of our drinks were VERY good, insanely surprised by how great each one has been. Mangonada was the best! Watermelon Juice with Tajin very good, it's exactly what I expected. Coconut Horchata is also a must try, really tasty! Banana matcha latte was super good as well. We're going to be so tor for on which flavor to get next time :)

    Popping Boba
    Erika R.

    We went here to drop off an item for HubOn. We left with 3 large bobas. You may as for a sample if you're undecided. We sampled the mango, strawberry-banana, and fresh coconut. All were great and we may just have found our new go-to. It's so rare to find mango that's sweet but this store has them. Will try out other flavors next time.

    Posting the reply I received from the owner for my detailed review claiming it's fake and I've never visited their store. Also posting pics of the drinks I had got and package of the stale donut from their shop with their logo. I tried to post a genuine detailed review and this was their response. Also the smoothie I was referring to was their watermelon smoothie which had zero fruit in any form and synthetically flavored. Rather than addressing the feedback this is the response I got, and the only good thing I had mentioned was their staff and service!

    it was me and my bfs first time coming here and it did not disappoint, this guy maro/mauro* not sure how to spell, was going above and beyond, gave us samples, was very social and funny too, the boba tea AMAZING first time and it was really good and even though the place its in kind of lacked and i was second guessing tbh , im so glad i didn't leave bc this place was really good, you gotta try it for yourself.

    Mangonada

    SOOOO good!! Got the mangonada smoothie, the shop owner is so nice gave us samples to try as well. Definitely recommend on a summer day

I usually…read moredon't write reviews for chain restaurants unless they are exceptional or there is a special case scenario. The main reason why I am taking the time to write a review for this Dish-n-Dash location is because it has mansaf on the menu. This item was my favorite thing to order at the flagship restaurant and to have a more convenient (and cheaper I might add!) way to order this dish that tastes just as great (which is not always the case!) is the reason why I needed to give a shout-out to this particular Dish-n-Dash. Were this option available at the Sunnyvale Dish-n-Dash location, I would be going there instead as it's closer to my apartment. Besides the mansaf, all the other dishes here are tasty as well. On the flip side, I do wish that this location would offer a maza sampler option like the Sunnyvale Dish-n-Dash location and then there would be no reason for me to visit any other Dish Dash franchise. However, I will take the win with having the mansaf option available here.

    I was craving some hummus when a local recommended Dish n' Dash, insisting that I needed to try…read more"real hummus." For context, my usual hummus is the roasted red pepper variety from Costco, so I wasn't exactly a hummus connoisseur. I was also told that Dish n' Dash is the quicker, more casual version of its original restaurant, offering slightly lower prices in exchange for less service. With that in mind, this place exceeded my expectations. The ordering process is straightforward: grab a menu, place your order at the register, and receive a buzzer. I assumed I'd need to return to the counter when it went off, but to my surprise, the staff brought the food directly to our table. Water and other beverages are self-serve, but the overall experience felt much more polished than I expected. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels far removed from the fast-food vibe I had anticipated. I ordered the Beef Kebab plate, which comes with two sides. I chose the babaganoush, the red pepper and walnut dip, and rice, along with the included pita bread. The beef was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The babaganoush was quite different from what I was familiar with, but absolutely spectacular. The red pepper and walnut dip was another standout, bursting with flavor. The rice wasn't the highlight of the meal, but it was still well prepared and delicious. We also ordered the hummus appetizer with chicken, and now I understand why my friend called it "real hummus." It was incredibly smooth, rich, and flavorful. The portion size was generous enough that I could easily have made a meal out of it on its own. Another surprise was the falafel. I'd always avoided trying falafel because I'd heard so many complaints about it being dry. This one was anything but. It had a wonderfully crispy exterior while remaining moist and flavorful inside. The texture almost reminded me of a broccoli-based "mash", in the best possible way. What impressed me most was that there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy. Even though the restaurant operates with a more casual, self-serve model, the service still felt attentive. The staff cleared our table when we were finished, and takeout containers, napkins, and other essentials were conveniently available at a designated self-serve station. Overall, I was extremely impressed. Between the delicious food, generous portions, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, Dish n' Dash easily lived up to the recommendation.
