I'm somewhat indifferent about this place. Located within close proximity to Guandong Taste, it's like the perfect after dinner treat. Parking is shared among the businesses in the area and normally isn't an issue to park within walking distance. Military discounts are offered on Wednesdays and they have a rewards program where you accrue points towards free drinks. The interior was in some disarray and cluttered. A few long hanging cobwebs and dust bunnies were present but not alarming. I asked for a slush to be half mango, half strawberry. What I got tasted like a strawberry milkshake and it lacked that "wow" when you go to a new place. I'm pretty confident that I won't go back because it took an unusually long time to make my order and I have had better slushes made the right way and tasted far better. Customer service was welcoming and genuine. The flow of customers can depend on the time of day. Surprisingly, this location is closed on Saturdays. For some businesses, this could be a peak business day but I'm sure they have their reasons. Not the worst experience but this location is far from me and I don't see myself going out of my way to get mediocre beverages.

My brother's best friend from Georgia came to town and the three of us and my brother's boo stopped by this boba shop that we happened to notice. They were out of a bunch of stuff, and there was a 10 minute wait for the tapioca boba. So we ended up ordering the drinks pictured: Iced chai, iced strawberry green tea, regular iced green tea, and mango green tea with assorted boba types. His friend ended up waiting the 10 minutes for the tapioca as it was favorite. The milk teas ended up tasting kind of bland and watered down, despite the ice not being melted or anything yet. Mine was average, and they were okay with what they got as well. Nothing stood out very much and I think the staff's children were all there at the restaurant as the staff worked. Either that or some parents just left their kids to scream in the lobby. We ended up leaving as the ambiance wasn't really pleasant. It was really noisy and not comfortable. I probably will go out of my way to go to a Kung Fu Tea or other tea shop next time, which are more inviting and comfy to chill at. Not the best, not the worst!

This is my go-to boba tea place lately! My favorite drink is the taro thai tea! They are always friendly and easy to talk to. Make sure to sign up for the rewards program!

The cutest lids. I'm wild over the look. I usually get fruit teas when I come but I'm trying to work my way through the menu. So after trying more I may pop my stars up to a 5. They only make their sweetness low. I love this. The Peach didn't taste like peach. The peach popping bubbles had the peach flavor. Just wish the peach fruit tea tasted like peach. All of the other drinks I have gotten are fine. Just some of the flavors seem a little light. I recommend getting the flavor popping bubbles they seem to boost the flavor.

I hear so many good things about this boba spot on social media so I decided to give it a try. This location is closer than my other go to spots so that's a plus. I ordered my typical wintermelon milk tea with bubbles and I got it hot since is was a rainy day. I got my order and it was in a coffee cup with a coffee lid. Uhhh how can I drink this without having to take the lid off? That was inconvenient because I had to drive as well so I took a sip before driving off and had to take my straw in and out so I can put the lid back on. Other locations have a hot boba cup with a proper lid that will hold the fat straw for the bubbles. The drink was okay to me. I always order the same when comparing boba so I can get a true comparison. The pearls were good - soft and chewy but the flavor of my drink was off and I wasn't sure why. In comparison to other boba spots in the area my number one still remains but I won't mention it here and sway ones decision. Staff here was friendly and prompt. I do want to go back here to check out the other flavors!!

MUAW! Perfect taro flavor, tasted AWSOME (as usual )! The servers are super nice and offer great customer service. Not to mention, the inside decorations are adorable! My go to and trusted milk tea shop!

I'm a big boba tea fan and this place was subpar. Also they took more than 20 min to make my two drinks which was annoying because it started to pour outside by the time I left. Never again.

4 years later and I'm still loving boba chef!!! Peach oolong milk tea with boba is still my go to, but I also get taro with black tea and tried their Thai tea for the first time today! For black teas I request extra sweet

I finally got to visit this cute Boba place. Perfect for a hang out place! The servers were very helpful and initiating conversation regardless of the big order we had! I like their reward's points, something different from other Boba places in Virginia Beach! I wanted lactose free milk and they customized it! Love Love the cute lids! It's so asian! Thank you for accommodating our big group and for letting us be "loud."

This is the second time i've been here, and to say that i'm in love is an understatement! The owner is as nice as I used to remember. I ordered a wintermelon jasmine milk tea with coffee jelly, it was SOOOO good! The last time I was here must be about 2 years ago, I came by before opening time and the owner said something along the line of "Oh, we're not open yet, so it's on the house." But being me, I offered to pay for my drink, since it doesn't sit right with me that he offered it for free. But it's the simple act like that that makes me love this place. This is a great establishment and is one of my favorite, I haven't had the time to go back ever since Covid, but mind you, their tea quality is fresh and amazing! Thank you again!

These boba shops are popping up everywhere!! So of course here I go wanting to try them all out and comparing it to my Fav boba shop. For those who does not know where the Guangdong Taste restaurant is like me, the shop Is located in the Auburn Place Shopping strip. The restaurant was clean, plenty of space to hang out, and board games to stay a while. At the time there wasn't any music playing so it was pretty quiet inside. So for the drinks... they had some interesting drinks that I will try out the next time but my go to drink in trying any new milk tea for the first time is the coconut milk tea. There is only one drink size, which for me sucks because I don't want to always drink a large. With the Coconut Milk Tea I ordered, there wasn't any option to change the sugar level, even though their menu board said they can. The lady at the counter wasn't much help because all she kept saying was "we can make a new drink if you don't like it". Well that's cool, but if I can get my drink right the first time, no need for a redo. My coconut milk tea actually tasted like chocolate milk tea... hmmm maybe my drink was mixed with another flavor by accident? What I do love about this boba shop is their milk tea is made with Lactaid Lactose Free milk!! This is a total winner for me! There's no use of the powder stuff and it's healthier! No...it's not as creamy as as other milk teas we may be used to at other Boba shops but I'm ok with that. Will try out more drinks to see if I can bring this review up to 5 stars!

Is their boba tea perfect? No, because I really do prefer bigger boba and ones that are cooked more so they have a nicer, different kind of chewiness. But in all other respects, this place is a standout that would keep me going back....if only we lived closer by. We're something of boba tea connoisseurs, and have particular standards and expectations. Here's what we really like: 1) Their classic teas seem to me brewed with care, and there's not a hint of bitterness. 2) Earl took the time to say hello and asked about our experience, and he seems to genuinely care. This doesn't happen at most businesses. 3) Free WiFi - 'nough said. 4) Lacrosse-free milk! And their jasmine green milk tea was a knockout, where I could appreciate the aroma of carefully-brewed tea along with the creaminess of milk. I could drink this 7 days a week. I wish them continued success, and will be counting down till our next visit.

Great flavor in the taro, the staff are so friendly and helpful, the interior is so cute and pretty, the strawberry pop boba is great in both the taro milk tea and the strawberry slush, my trusted boba shop, overall 5 stars.
