    Tokyo Hot dog, taro bun, brown sugar milk tea
    Chloe L.

    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!

    On a hot day ! Dragonfruit pineapple green tea ! It was delicious and refreshing . Been here a few times and it's my new boba go to spot . Boba is soft and chewy also the peach tea and peach milk tea is also very good . Staff and owner are very nice and always care if you really enjoy your drink . Thank you Cue cue for making good drinks!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    this place is soooo cute! they offer a good range of boba (and a surprisingly large amout of food items which were definitely tempting) for market prices. the staff are super friendly-- apparently they opened a few months ago in June?-- and it was fun to visit this new spot! what's unique about this shop is the amount of /stuff/ they sell. not just food items: stuff. blind boxes, little collectibles, and several claw machines in the back. very unique! there's ample seating and the drinks are pretty good! definitely recommend the lower sweetness option, but it's a cute spot.

    Just came here to celebrate our daughter getting an award. It was a fun and exciting atmosphere and my daughters loved sitting here! It's super cute place and the drinks were unique and good. We had the brown sugar milk tea, galaxy rainbow soda, and sunset dream refresher. The drinks were tasty and my kids love soda drinks! The cute cups were also cat themed. We just loved this cute bright place!

    Still loving the flavor and many flavors to try. The service is fast and the handcrafting of delicious pastries seems to becoming an added treat. The place is clean and super spacious.

    My friend recommended this place and said it was better than Din Tai Fung. I have to admit, I was…read morepleasantly surprised. First off, there was a lot of parking in this hidden strip mall. When we got there, there was a little bit of a wait, about 10 minutes. The menu was digital and we were able to order from the table from our phone. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and had quite a few tables there. The bathroom was located upstairs, the key was by the register at the front. The scallion pancake was good but I've had better. The dan dan noodles were really tasty, it was like a mix of spicy noodles with peanut noodles and I'm definitely down for that. The XLB was juicy and oh so delicious. The spicy wontons were fresh tasting. The beef rice cake was great but I wish it had a little kick to it. I was a little surprised that it had an assortment of proteins in it.

    Ok for small orders of dumplings. I recommend going for the pan-fried dumplings…read more Because they used the same seasoned meat filling across most of their popular dishes (XLB, pan-fried gyoza, wonton, shumai)...the variation between these dishes is minimal and your palate will be numbed by the copy-and-paste flavors. They all start to taste the same. Quite disappointed at the dumpling wrapper / skin... which is as important as the filling. They over steamed / cooked the shumai, XLB, and wonton so the dumpling skins were too soft, almost mushy. Maybe some people prefer this texture? Smashed cucumber has large portion, flavor is quite light compared to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty versions. Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty are more expensive, but their quality and flavor are better so I would still go there for my dimpling cravings. Staff is friendly. Maybe try other dishes besides dumplings...

That is reasonable just by looking at all the people who are waiting outside when we arrived. Number 85 was called, we are 12 for the next batch, they do skip some numbers to accommodate the smaller group and within reason-they have smaller tables for two. It was not as chaotic as it looks even though the restaurant is packed. All the dim sum carts are rolling and they are selling it fast. We made our move and successfully got what we wanted. A nice lady waiter helped us grab 2 more containers of meat baos (siopao) for our to go. We had our fill and really happy that we made it on time for all the yummy stuffs they offer. We went home happy and satisfied. Still working on our to go today.

They don't have many table to seat large parties (3+) they mostly have bar seating and the booth seating is pretty tightly packed so just a heads up that if you have a larger party you might need to wait longer. Luckily I got sat in their few middle tables that were spacious. I was able to order quickly and the workers are nice and gave me recommendations. Passion fruit green tea and this was definitely my favorite thing I ordered that day the drink was so light, refreshing, flavorful, but not too sweet the passion fruit seeds being in the drink was annoying though. (4/5) Spicy XLB they came out quick but I wished they were hotter they were just warm but delicious flavor and filling sadly was not spicy though no kick no heat at all. (3/5) Beef rolls nice and crispy lots of scallions and the cucumbers added a nice fresh aspect and crunch but needed more sauce. (3/5) Pan fried dumplings took the longest to come out were crispy but not that flavorful again very filling though. (2/5) Golden prime beef noodle soup I'm sorry but this was just not for my taste at all I can't even describe what flavor the soup was something I have never had before very unique. The noodles were nice and chewy but again I'm expecting soup to be hot but it just came out warm. (1/5) They had some sauce and chili oil on the table and I made a mix but it did not help add flavor to any of the items. I ordered too much and the leftover beef rolls and pan fried dumplings reheated well in the air fryer.

The Eggplant tasted like they had emptied an entire salt shaker into it and was inedible. Our server, for lack of a better word, Isabel, was extremely rude and inattentive the entire time. Isabel thought it would be a good idea to focus on the other tables while basically ignoring ours. The worst part was at the end of the meal after I had requested she take the charge off the bill for the horrible food. Isabel begrudgingly agreed to take it off with not as much as any type of apology. It then took her probably 10 minutes to return after gleefully chatting with other tables and walking by us maybe 4-5 times without making eye contact. Once Isabel produced her handheld POS terminal and asked me how I would be paying, I called her out on the lack of courtesy and basic manners. I asked her if she'd be apologizing for the lousy food and she literally said "No, it's not my fault." All the time she had this maniacal grin on her face that was not only out of place but a little on the psychotic side. Isabel kept glaring at me every time she walked by as if to say I don't owe you a thing and there's nothing you can do about it. After speaking with the manager (Shu) I understand how Isabel has this attitude. He was oblivious to the lack of decency and common sense displayed. He just kept repeating the fact that they had removed it from the bill without the least bit of remorse. All this time I was speaking with Shu, Isabel kept walking around with this crazed grin on her face to hear what we were discussing. I've honestly never experienced any server like her in my entire life. The best Shu could do was to tell me the next time I came in they'd seat me with another server. The next time? This speaks to the oblivious nature of the employees at China Moon. He actually thought that after that, I would be returning. Isabel was the weirdest server I've literally ever had in my life and it was clear at the end that Shu didn't have a clue about customer service or the dining experience. I would avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being treated like garbage by people that don't have any clue what service is.
