Drinks were pretty good but don't get a sandwich there. Had the grilled pork bahn mi and it was the most "here, damn" sandwich ever. Fillings weren't even in the bread, no structural integrity and at some point there was just bread and mayo read more

I knew this was the right choice! Happened to be in Oakland for a work related event & gravitated to this establishment for lunch especially when I saw how buzzing it was with customers. There is limited seating inside and a few tables outside shared among the business in this area. Ordering was easy via the self ordering station and yes....there will be a wait but it is so worth it. Ordered a matcha which was phenomenal and one of the best matcha's I've had. However the star for me was the meatball & egg bahn mi sandwich. It was melt in your mouth delicious. All the flavors and textures in this sandwhich was well balanced and I would drive the 61 miles one way to have this sandwich again. read more

Prices on board are still not updated after months. Have mentioned to staff repeatedly for months now. I got the B10 and B11. Both have been $9.50 from the system. They are $9.25 and $8.95 respectively on the board. Each time I mentioned, there's indifference, the last time was a cavalier attitude. The answer given is, "you want it or not". Not going here again. read more

Vegan review - Oat & Almond milk options; the boba was fresh and plenty in the cup! - Lots of Banh mi; I tried lemongrass tofu and it felt fresh with crunch to the veggies and the tofu had a nice spongy texture. - The staff were friendly to me and had a decent pace considering just two on the floor and steady foot traffic. - Very limited parking but easy to find I will be grabbing more when I'm in the area - yum! read more

Excellent sandwich - veggie option was flavorful and filling even though it was small in size. The matcha drink was also excellent even without sugar. Service is relatively quick in and out in about 10 mins. read more

First time having the sandwiches from here. Grilled chicken was great - not too big or small. The honey milk rice tea was great. Boba was a little more squishy than I like but it wasn't overly sweet for the 25% sugar level. read more

I came to Oakland to deal with some tax issues in the afternoon and attend a Yelp event in the evening. I had not yet had a meal, so I decided to stop by here to grab a bite before the event, since I knew only light bites were being served. I used the in-store kiosk to place an order for the summer sunset tea (added boba) and lemongrass tofu banh mi. Upon taking my first sip of tea, I was surprised it had zero flavor. I stirred it some more, thinking it just wasn't mixed well but still nothing. At best it tasted like colored water with sugary toppings. I asked the bobarista if he'd mind remaking it. He kindly agree to redo it. On the second round, it came out looking way more vibrant, leading me to believe that perhaps an ingredient was omitted the first time. At any rate, I was happy they fixed my drink. Moving on to the sandwich, I found it incredibly hard to stomach, literally, as the bread was as dry as croutons. I picked at it but mostly ate just the filling. Honestly, I don't think this location is as good as the Chinatown location which closed and also not anywhere close to the same as Binge Coffee House in Berkeley. The best I can say about this place is that the staff are friendly and accommodating, but the drinks and food could use improvement. read more

A surprisingly good banh mi and Viet coffee spot located in Oakland. The Banh mi was super fresh with a crispy baguette and well-balanced fillings (Grilled Pork was delicious, and I love it with pepper, picked vegetables and cilantro). The egg coffee has a rich creamy flavor. I recommend getting it less sweet. Definitely worth trying if you want something fresh and different :) read more

Boba and popcorn chicken... I see why it's called Boba Binge. This review is based on a third party delivery order. The popcorn chicken was honestly some of the best I've had. Super crunchy on the outside while still juicy and well marinated inside. The pieces weren't tiny or all breading either, there were actual chunks of chicken. They also add basil which made it really aromatic and elevated the whole thing. It came with a sriracha style sauce on the side which added a nice kick. I also got the watermelon tea and it was super refreshing with real watermelon pulp. It still had a light tea flavor which balanced it out really well. I obviously won't be able to come here often since I don't live in SF, but next time I'm back, I'm definitely making an in person visit. read more

Ordered through doordash, got it really fast! The matcha tasted more so like oreos & milk and pretty sweet if you're into that. Idk why but the white part of the oreo now tastes pretty artificial now. Not blaming the drink, just in general i think it messed up the flavor of the matcha drink. I'll most likely opt for no oreos next time. The Thai tea tornando just tasted like regular thai tea nothing crazy i thought it was going to be more chunky in the middle but it was only spreaded on the cup same as the matcha tornado. I'll try other drinks and the food options next time! read more

This business has been across the street from where I work, made a few visits and visited other boba places. Flavors are good, I ordered a Sesame Matcha Latte, a seasonal drink. A black layer of seasme on the bottom. The paste is so thick it does not blend. So you gotta dip the straw in the deep end to get the sesame flavor. Ordered a strawberry milk tea for my co-worker, and for myself ordered a Strawberry Matche Latte which was great. Ordering is easy, order online and you have all the options before you. I normally choose oat milk and less sugar. I opted for 50% and it was fine. You can also adjust the ice. There is a bench to sit at but most take this to go. Lots of turn over of people passing through. In the future I will have to try the snacks. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place during a grocery shopping trip to Oakland's Chinatown. This place has fantastic Vietnamese sandwiches! (banh mi). I got a combo sandwich and got a grilled pork sandwich for hubby. Both sandwiches were fantastic - very fresh, the pickled daikon and carrots had just the right amount of crunch and sweet-and-sour tangyness and they were sizable too. I think it will be my go-to place for banh mi whenever I am in the area. I also got a ceremonial Matcha tea drink with aloe vera added which was deliciously refreshing. The place is very clean with helpful young employees working like busy bees. It is very high-tech where you can order off a kiosk and I appreciate the fact that you can personally customize everything, for instance I had extra daikon, carrots and cilantro put in my sandwich for a small up charge and you can also specify whether to cut the sandwich in half or not! (for free). All these little details make it a nice experience that you get exactly what you would like. And the banh mi was so delicious! read more

Came here with some friends and wowowow, I'll be back! I enjoyed the smoothest uji matcha latte of my life. This place is like grab and go style, and the menu boasts a wide variety of drinks. Service is as okay, and ambiance was quiet in a calming way. I will definitely be back, especially since you can customize sugar amount on drinks. read more

Gone are the days of $2.75 Vietnamese banh mi in Oakland Chinatown or anywhere...and you're lucky to find a delicious sandwich for under $9 Boba Binge is a more modern storefront and a contrast to the hole-in-the-wall spots in the area. Place offers various boba drinks and milk teas, Vietnamese sandwiches and fried snacks. The grilled chicken sandwich has a generous amount of pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro and slices of fresh cucumber. I liked the flavor of the chicken as it does have a dab of sweet sauce to it...good meat and veggie ratio and a good weight to it! It will definitely fill you up...a friend got 2 sandwiches and kept saying how full he was after! Popcorn chicken was yummy with basil throughout and garlic cloves. No sauce given except for a 2oz container of siracha-like hot sauce. Place set up for to go as a couple of stools for window seating and bench seating while you wait for your order. Kiosk to place your order or at the counter if you have questions...or if don't want cilantro. Friend said the kiosk didn't have the option for no cilantro and of course, it looked like they gave him the whole plant...there was a lot! Would visit again to try other sandwiches, snacks and a pandan waffle. Not big on the sweet Asian drinks but they definitely look good and quite popular from all the orders sitting on the counter. read more

Boba Binge was quite crowded during weekday lunch time. While most people took their food and drinks to-go, even the tables did not have space for all the customers. I waited around 5 minutes in line before I could order at their self-serve machine. I ordered the Tie Guan Yin Oolong Milk Tea with Honey Boba. They were quite busy, so I found out that my boba order was out before they were able to hand it to me. I enjoyed the flavoring of the milk tea along with the chewy boba! I appreciated the boba and their service, and I would love to try one of their banh mis or their pandan milks in the future! read more

It's been a while since I've purchased lunch here, with lunch being a sandwich and boba. Maybe I haven't been paying attention or the situation has changed a lot, but it's a lot more expensive now than a year or so ago. Not sure the overall value is there anymore, even though it is so tasty. The banh mi price has gone up $2 while the size has reduced. The boba size is the same and price gone up a bit as well. Put tax and tip in, it's a $20 lunch. Again, food is good. Probably the tastiest banh mi in Chinatown. It's just a bit pricey now. read more

The egg coffee was strong as Vietnamese coffee should be. It got better as I drank it when the egg custard layer on top missed with the coffee. Definitely would go back for the egg coffee again. They made the drinks quickly but then it sat in the little window for a while before an employee moved it to the pick up counter as the line to order got long. We just had to wait patiently for them to pass out our drinks. Workflow could improve a bit when they get busier. Cute little shop with limited seating. Very clean. Located in Oakland Chinatown and we found this cute mural a couple blocks away. read more

Was looking for something around the city and I came across this shop. Smelled great and was welcoming. Got these two delicious drinks!

Ordered this to go for work and I would say that it didn't meet my expectations for a good sandwich. It all the cold cut meats which I really appreciate but the pickled veggies could use a little more pickling. Also I didn't like how the mayo and pate were on different side of the sandwich. I think usually it's a layer of mayo then the pate? The boba drinks were good but enough to satisfy my cravings I tried both the mango green tea and the brown rice. It's as expected your average boba but not to a point where I would not order from here again. Definitely better than other boba shops I've been too with the plus of meals/snack servings. read more

Small Vietnamese style boba shop in Oakland Chinatown. Their mung bean milk tea always seems to be sold out - I really want to compare it to 7leaves! You can either order through their kiosk or the staff. The drinks came out quick for us.. they're on the sweeter side. Wish they include a sugar free option for weirdos like us. Current seasonal drink is the grape cloud. read more

Been here a couple of times Ordered: -genmaicha (roasted rice milk tea) -osmanthus oolong milk tea -osmanthus oolong tea All got around 75% sweet with less ice 75% sweet is actually a little too sweet whereas 50% sweet is too bland so I've found that it's best to get 75% and shake your ice so it helps water down the sweetness a bit. Overall very good bob, fast service, drinks are ready within like 5-10 minutes and you can order ahead on their website or DoorDash. My go to drink is the genmaicha. The osmanthus oolong tea is good as well but the osmanthus oolong milk tea is a bit bland in taste. read more

Average boba price are the same as other places; however the sandwiches are slightly below. Unless you added extra stuffs then it would be same as elsewhere. Front lady wasn't really friendly or smile possibly long busy day. I ordered grilled beef two grilled pork and combination pork cake. Everyone in my family said it was great. Didn't get to take pics of grilled pork. Mom finished it before I could get to camera. The crowd could be build up. There is one kiosk on the corner to order. I also ordered matcha tornado. Love it. The crunches of crushed Oreo were in every sip. Try them out!!! One less star for no big bag. I almost dropped them. read more

I ordered via Door Dash and was told it was coming from the Uptown location, which is closed? Makes no sense. In any event, ordered because they have traditional topping like pate and some banh mi shops don't. They also gave me the opportunity to customize so asked for "extra pate." Great! However, the sandwich arrived on an old, stale piece of bread - simply awful and inexcusable. The Hokkaido boba tea was spot on. I tried to reach out to them before posting it but they make it almost impossible to find contact info - I was unsuccessful. I was hoping that this would be my "go to" place in the East Bay because I my shops in San Francisco but I won't order again unless they promise to do better. read more

Any coffee or pandan drink is good, this location does not offer the pandan coffee, but has pandan milk.

Highly recommend for drinks, they also offer banh mi sandwiches (Vietnamese sub sandwiches) haven't tried yet, but looks and smells good. Quick, friendly service. read more

We came here on a weekend day and there was a steady stream of customers. There were a few seats at the window that people could sit at for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the lemongrass tofu sandwich which had a lot of good flavor. But I think the bread could have been more crispy and fresh. Might be because it was in the late afternoon though. The matcha sesame milk tea was very good. It was not too sweet. However, the cashier did not ask if we wanted boba and assumed we did not, which was annoying, since I think most people want boba when they go to a boba shop. read more

Toan was super helpful and friendly. He helped me select my delicious rose lychee tea since I was so indecisive and usually lean towards taro and/or milk teas.

Thanks you Team Toan and Boba Binge. I looooove binging on boba!!!! read more

Boba Binge sells an array of teas and boba. They also have Bahn Mi. Boba Binge allows you to customize the sweetness level of your drinks. Ordered the following: 1. Hot Peach Oolong Tea 2. Chicken Bahn Mi Overall, I felt the Bahn Mi was on the sweeter side. I enjoyed my Bahn Mi! read more

The drink selection, flavor, and overall quality of the teas are great (watermelon reigns) but I think Boba Binge is slept on as one of the best places to get a Banh Mi! Personally I like getting the fried tofu, which never disappoints (the proof is in the freshness of the bread) but I've gotten good feedback about their meat options from family I've ordered with. Boba Binge has become a regular in my DoorDash rotation so I hope they stick around for years to come. I have only done pick-up once so I can't speak to the interior, but, the food and drink will keep us repeat customers! read more
