BEST EVER ! I've had bubble tea in different geographical locations and specialty stores and by far…read more, this place lives up to the 5 star rating . The "teas" are flavorful ( not watered down like most), they are topped with a scoop of ice cream and LOTS of tapioca pearls . I would be here all the time if I didn't have to cross the border and drive for hours :( MUST VISIT!

Service was ok Jasmine milk tea: 2/5 my initial reaction was that this tasted a little watered down then I realized that it was just really milky and didn't have much jasmine flavor. The boba itself was just ok My boyfriend also got a strawberry matcha something and didn't like it because there wasn't a very strong matcha flavor

We tried the purple yam banana muffin, lemon poppyseed muffin, milk black tea, and the Hawaiian…read morelatte, and everything was really good. The muffins were incredibly moist, soft, and spongy without being overly sweet. The Hawaiian latte was delicious, and my husband absolutely loved his milk black tea -- he said it was probably the best one he's ever had. The employees were friendly, the service was quick, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. We would definitely come back for more muffins.

I purchased just a muffin here…read more Food:3/5 - there was a good selection of muffins and cookies. I wasn't bold enough to try the purple yam muffin and went for the blueberry. It was average but had sufficient blueberries & was fresh. Service: 3/5 - nothing wowing Ambiance: 3/5 - there were some seats inside the Quay with a pleasant ambiance.

Morning Star Bubble Tea is one of those hidden gems for those in the know. It's tucked away on…read moreHarbourside Drive in a somewhat industrial area near the auto mall car dealerships the area was once known for. For reference, it's beside Thomas Hass Chocolates, a block away from Spa Utopia and a private boarding school, Bodwell Academy High School. I was in the area and feeling thirsty so it was a nice treat to indulge in an ice cold mango slush with bubbles and coconut jelly. Next time I'm in the area I'll try one of their many food menu offerings like cutlet on rice, house special on rice, stir fried rice noodle, sausage and mapo tofu.

This place is in the middle of nowhere - industrial area by the waterfront. It's not bad though…read more The tea is good. However I'm here to write about the food. We had a couple of the rice dishes - - fried pork chop Taiwanese style over rice - nice and crispy pork - chicken cutlet - crispy and good flavor in the breading. However I think I ordered the wrong thing cuz it was curry tho the curry was good - mapo tofu - I know this isn't Taiwanese but I craved it anyways and it was good! Not too spicy. Only had a side of veggies. The only thing is they don't have some other standard fare like green onion pancakes. Would come back for helping of bubble tea and Taiwanese food.

I visited Chicha San Chen and it felt more like a tea workshop than a typical bubble tea shop. From…read moremy visit, there were two people working the counter, carefully making drinks and taking orders. You can see them measuring ingredients on scales and following a very deliberate process, so it is not a quick in and out kind of place. I ordered the lemon wonderland and the honey osmanthus oolong tea. Both were really enjoyable. The lemon wonderland tasted fresh and balanced, not overly sweet, with a clean citrus brightness. The honey osmanthus oolong was more subtle, lightly floral with a smooth tea base that came through clearly. You can tell the tea itself is the focus here, not just the toppings or sugar. Service felt focused and methodical rather than chatty, which fits the style. Drinks took a bit longer than average, but it made sense once you see the care going into each cup.

I tried the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea - boba is decent 4/5 stars, 100% sweet is a bit too sweet for me, I'd recommend 50% or 80% depending on your preference. Two things I appreciate are 1) the cup is pretty and 2) the straw is not made of paper

Back here again. Made sure not to order a Mango drink with Coconut milk this time. Went for…read moresomething different and had a much better experience this time so...higher rating this time! My daughter got a Mega drink which was a 1L cup of Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, and I got a Lychee Rose Milkshake. Yum! Best milkshake I've ever had! Can't remember the last time I ordered a milkshake anywhere but this one was really good. Kinda like a cross between a milkshake and a bubble tea cuz it had bubble tea toppings inside, including chunks of lychee fruit and some other chewy bubble tea topping. Plus it wasn't too thick so it went down my throat quite easily. I ordered it with half sugar and it was still plenty sweet without being excessively sweet. The Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea was good too but wow...the Mega drinks are very filling. My daughter couldn't even finish all the pearls in her cup. They're having some kind of Mahjong promotion right now. My milkshake cup had a little Mahjong piece on it. The lady who handed me my drink explained to me that I could use the Mahjong piece to get 10% off my next Suntea drink when next I come in. She mentioned too that if we got another Mahjong piece and if it matched the piece we got today, that we could get 50% off and 2nd drink on our next visit. Fun! Makes me wanna get my bubble tea from Sun Tea again for the next little while.

Tried the mango drinks at Macu Tea in Kerrisdale and they definitely live up to the hype. The King…read moreof Mango tastes super fresh--like actual fruit, not syrup--and the mix of mango, coconut, and a bit of grapefruit gives it a nice balance instead of being overly sweet. Texture-wise, it's more of a dessert than a drink with mango chunks and jelly, which I liked but might not be for everyone. Portions are generous too. Only downside is you can't really customize it, but honestly it's well-balanced as is. Solid choice if you want something refreshing but still filling. Would come back.

At Macu, the vibe inside is relaxed and comfy enough for a quick drink or light hangout. But beware…read moreas they don't really have any seating area. I tried the grape bobo and the strawberry bobo, and both were incredibly fresh-tasting. They weren't overly sweet, not syrupy, just bright fruit flavor. Each drink has chunks of their fruits in it and that's what makes Macu suuuuper special. I liked that the fruit was fresh, and the balance between sweet and tart felt spot-on. If you're in Kerrisdale and want something refreshing that doesn't feel heavy, Macu is absolutely worth a stop. I need to come back during their mango season in the summer.
