    Cute place, attentive & friendly staff. We ordered sesame & bbq pork bao along with mango ebisu which taste amazing so fluffy and not too sweet, and their popular strawberry mashed tea drink

    Cucue is such a super cute place, especially for kids! They have so many trending toys at really affordable prices, which makes the shop fun to visit even beyond the drinks. As a tea lover, I've been to pretty much all the tea places around Irvine and Lake Forest, and Cucue definitely stands out. Their drinks are really good, and my personal favorite is their buckets. I haven't seen anything like them offered anywhere else so far! They also have a food menu, and everything I've tried has been very good. What really makes this place extra special, though, is the people. The owner and everyone working there are extremely nice and welcoming. They always greet customers when they come in and say goodbye when they leave, which is such a small but meaningful touch.

    Mango coco float and fruit tea madness

    This is such a cute spot! Definitely bright inside with lots of colors and cute characters. We only wanted drinks so we got Fruit Tea Madness and the Mango Coco Float (both (Top 5 drinks) Both drinks were really refreshing and the service was quick and friendly. They also have food (dimsum/desserts) - would definitely try it in the future!

    Hidden Gem in Lake Forest! From the outside, the shop looks small, but inside it's actually very spacious. I've never seen a boba brand pay this much attention to detail with their interior decoration. Everything was so cute--even the chairs, haha. The owner mentioned this is their first location in California, originally from Arizona. Drinks: They have a lot of options, and I believe they're still updating their menu. The tea was good (not the best for me, but definitely decent), and you can adjust the sweetness. My order was the Rose Milk Tea. Service: Fast and friendly. They even have claw machines, and on promotion days, if your purchase is over a certain amount, they'll give you tokens to play.

    We ordered pick up and it was ready soon after we got there. Workers are very nice, and the inside is much bigger than expected. Lots of snacks, and toys for sale, including a couple claw machines. They have hot food for sale, too. The drinks we got were really tasty. Lots of Mango flavor in the Mango Coco Float!

    This place is a great location to wind down, lounge, have some good snacks and of course drinks. We don't live far but wanted to find a place to chill out and escape the rain. The vibes here are 10/10 and we love the little things like the various blind boxes they sell and claw machines. Their service here is great too. The staff is friendly and quick to help. Great little tea/drink spot here in Lake Forest!

    Very cute setup for a boba shop, feels more like part of an arcade than just a boba shop. The girl at the front was informative and gave her thoughts on whats worth highlighting. I ended up getting the melon milk bubble drink, wasn't too sweet and had a nice hit of melon flavor. While waiting for the order, there's a a couple claw machines in the back to mess with. They even give you a coin with the drink purchase just to try it out.

    Wanted to check out the new boba place near our house. Came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Great tasting tea drinks. So far we have tried the OG boba milk tea, HK lemon tea, watermelon smash and galaxy rainbow soda drink. You can adjust the amount of ice, sugar and choice of boba or Star crystals. Did I mention the tea is legit. Imported and certified from Taiwan. Nice simple rewards program for free. Every drink purchase as of writing this gets a free token for the claw machine. The secret best thing to order are the waffle pops. So delicious. So cheap too. You'll need to order more than one. The store is clean, cute and full of bright colors. The service is outstanding. Andy and Joshua were super friendly. You need to check this place out.

    Front of shop, can't miss the giant boba figure!

    Super adorable boba shop that offers so many things, from a variety of drinks to trendy merch to some claw machines. I imagine Boba Cucue will soon be popular for kiddos, foodie influencers, and chill hangouts. The girl who helped us was very patient while explaining the menu, available adjustments and substitutions, and current promos. There is definitely something for everyone, but they currently only have one coffee drink, the Malaysian White Mocha, which is a must-try if you like a sweet and creamy caffeine kick. The coffee jelly it came with was good, too. We also got Coco-Mango Bubble with crystal boba (nice tropical combo), White Peach Oolong Smash Tea (light and refreshing), Fire Cream Brulee Milk Tea with brown sugar boba (meh, won't get again), and Rose Milk Tea (strong rose flavor even at less sugar). Pretty much everything was tasty, except for the Fire Cream Brulee Milk Tea since it had a heavy flavor that we didn't really like in black milk teas. I'd love to try the Chocolate Panda Frappe and the other Smashed Fruit Teas next time. Prices seemed comparable to other boba shops, and they probs includes the cost of the cute cups and caps. Parking is free and aplenty in the plaza lot.

    Too Cute

    We're getting a Triple Berry Ube Float ! Wow, this place is too cute! Can't wait to take my daughters here. I can't wait to try my float right now! Great photo opportunity, everybody was super nice there. Very refreshing on this warm summer day, it tasted fresh and smooth, kind of milky. If you're in the area, this is a nice place to stop by, just to even check out for a photo opportunity!

    It's currently their soft opening and we've already been a couple times. Friendly service and good variety of drinks, including tea-based or not. You can customize the amount of sugar/sweetness. The Fruit Tea Madness is really refreshing. The Strawberry Smash Green Tea and Strawberry Milk Bubble are good too. Seems like they'll eventually have ice cream and other non-boba snacks.

    Coco peach

    They close at 8 pm thru the week and 9 pm on the weekends! Reminder to self because I have walked thru many times after-hours. Its VERY bright inside. Stuffed animals, cute pop art decor, they are having a KPDH pop up weekend of October 10 featuring one of the singing voice artist. Very friendly service and was able to direct me well to non caffeine drinks. Their menu is large. I had the coco peach. It was very tasty and not super sweet, which i enjoyed. It came in a very cute cup design as well. I look forward to trying their other drinks!

    This is the cutest boba shop I've ever been to. There's a huge selection of plushies, toys, stickers, etc. and several claw machines in the back -- perfect for entertaining kids. There's so many cute decorations all over as well. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The drinks were ok, the taro milk tea I ordered could've used a bit more sugar, but the boba itself was good! I need to go back and order something else to really solidify my rating. But this place feels like stepping into Japan or something. Really cool experience!

    I've been coming to Sunny Dumpling House long enough to remember when the dumplings felt much more…read morecarefully made. That's probably why the decline is so noticeable. The biggest problem is unfortunately the thing with the restaurant's name on it. The xiao long bao used to feel delicate and deliberate. On this visit, nearly the entire basket had already leaked before we touched them. Once a soup dumpling loses its soup into the steamer, you're basically eating a steamed pork dumpling with an identity crisis. The wrappers also felt heavier than I remember, with thick pinched tops that became dry and doughy. The pork filling itself was decent, but the overall construction just felt rushed. The boiled pork and chive dumplings had the opposite problem of what I want from a dumpling wrapper. Too much dough, not enough filling experience. The chili wontons were considerably better because the wrappers were thinner and more supple. If that texture showed up across more of the dumpling menu, I'd probably feel very differently. There are still good dishes here. The rice cakes were chewy and satisfying and disappeared quickly at our table. Bok choy was simple and solid. The pig ear had good flavor and texture, although ours leaned salty and a little softer than ideal. What pushes this down to two stars is everything surrounding the food. Ordering and paying are heavily pushed through QR codes, yet the system isn't particularly intuitive. I tried paying through Apple Pay with Amex several times before realizing it simply wasn't accepted, with no useful explanation on screen. Service feels similarly detached. Everyone appears extremely busy, yet getting help with ordinary things can be strangely difficult. During our visit one of my kids spilled water beside the table and we were told it could simply be cleaned after we left. I'm not asking for white glove service, but sitting next to a puddle while eating is an odd solution. The restroom situation doesn't help. You have to retrieve a key and head upstairs into an older restroom that feels completely disconnected from the otherwise modern ordering setup downstairs. That's ultimately my issue with Sunny Dumpling House now. There are pieces of a good restaurant still here and a few dishes I enjoy. But the execution has become uneven, the service feels increasingly automated without becoming easier and the dumplings themselves are no longer good enough to compensate for it. I'd rather have fewer systems and better dumplings.

I was surprised by how empty the restaurant was when we arrived, especially since I remember this being one of the hardest places to get a reservation a few years ago. When we were first seated, our table felt a little cramped for the size of our party. We asked if we could move, and the staff was very accommodating and allowed us to select a more comfortable table on the other side of the restaurant. It's been a few years since my last visit, and my family usually comes here for weekend dim sum rather than dinner. From what I remember, the portions seemed a little smaller this time around, but the overall quality of the food wasn't bad. A few dishes were slightly saltier than I prefer, but the Peking duck and Braised Beef Stew Clay Pot were easily the highlights of the meal. Both were incredibly flavorful, and the meat was fall-apart tender. The service, however, felt a bit disorganized throughout the evening. There were several occasions where we had to flag someone down for extra napkins, utensils, and additional tableware. Not anything major, but it did take away from the overall dining experience. On the plus side, the prices were very reasonable considering how many people we were feeding. Overall, it's still a solid option if you're craving Chinese food, especially for larger groups.

Overall, great food, great service, and a place we will keep returning to.

    This feedback is for the owner regarding an employee and NOT the food (which has been always good)…read more The young man at the counter, while very efficient, speaks simply way too fast when taking orders over the phone or picking up orders in person. I can barely respond in time until he speaks again or asks the question over. I asked him to slow down when picking up an order today. He said okay, but kept speaking at rapid machine gun rate. Here's the problem: He makes the customer feel rushed when there is no need. As a result, the customer interaction becomes unpleasant and even somewhat disrespectful. I know that's not his intention, but I can tell you that I would prefer to speak to another person if that option is available. I was picking up at an order around 11:30 am on Wednesday morning and there was only one another customer who was waiting for her pickup order. The restaurant was empty. The invoice number on the receipt is 60102. Thank you.

The beef roll is a MUST. Unlike some places where it can be dry, theirs had the perfect amount of sauce and was so good. Also get the lava egg yolk steamed buns. So soft, moist, fresh, and delicious. But surprisingly, one of the biggest standouts was their drinks. They use real tea, and their taro milk tea completely changed my mind about taro drinks. Fresh taro mixed with real tea, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I would literally come here just for the drinks. If you love boba, you need to try them. Just be prepared to wait because this place gets BUSY. Lunchtime was packed, and we came around 3 PM and were lucky to get a spot. Everything was so satisfying without feeling overly heavy afterward. Definitely one of my new favorite finds and a place I'll be coming back to again and again.
