    My fave! Watermelon slush!
    Pheap S.

    Never had a problem here with ordering. Staff is friendly. Sometimes drinks take a while if there's only one person working. Thats fine. Not a problem. Drinks come out good. Next I will try their Acai bowl. They also have snacks like chicken bites and mozzarella sticks too. Haven't tried them yet though. This spot is located in Southland Mall.

    Solid Boba Spot - it's a chain brand located in Malls. I order the same thing a Brown Sugar Oreo Milk Tea and it gets the job done. Depending on how busy it is, there can be a wait. But overall a consistent experience regardless of the location. - Mrs Arizona United States

    So Boba Nation used to be Boba Time and I absolutely love Boba Time because it's a Southern California chain that I love when I used to live in Southern California. I recently tried 2 drinks, the ube milk and plain yogurt smoothie. I was excited to try it because the menu is very similar to Boba Time and I think the owners decided to change all the Boba Time locations in the Bay Area to Boba Nation. The ube milk was way too sweet and did not taste good at all. The yogurt smoothie was pretty watery and didn't really taste like tart yogurt. I was disappointed and hopefully they can change the quality. I know they are opening a new location at Eastridge mall in San Jose so I don't have to drive all the way to Newark or Hayward in the future. I will try their other drinks and see if there's any standouts because I will definitely want to give them another chance.

    Boba milk tea

    Drink taste no good. Sweet no tea flavor. $6 a cup. Didn't finish half of it. The look of milk tea look dark. I didn't expect to be great but still no good

    Honeydew Smoothie

    Customer service was great. They were kind to me. The store was clean. I ordered the Honeydew and Horchata Smoothies and they always do it perfectly! I would recommend coming here. Definitely will be coming back soon!

    Good spot for boba in the Southland Mall. I was hanging out at the Round 1 nearby and came by Boba Nation for some boba afterwards. I came by Sunday around 3:30 pm and there were a couple people in line, but nothing too crazy. The menu is crazy big, one of the largest selection I've seen at a boba shop. They need to make it easier to see the menu as you're lining up as the font was very hard to read on the TV screens, especially with some of the backgrounds. I was super hot and thirsty, so I got a refreshing large mango peach slush with no boba for $6.83. They're quick here, and my drink was ready within minutes. It was a solid drink and quenched my thrist.

    I tried the green apple Lemonade, and I must say it was quite refreshing. It tastes diffrent from regular lemonade bcoz the green apple adds a crisp, sweet layer and the lemonade has just the right amount of tartness. It's very easy to drink, light, and not too sweet. Making the apple flavor a bit stronger is the only thing I would change, but other than that, it's a gud option that I would definitely get again.

    Ease of ordering. HELLA options. They located right next to Auntie Annes which comes in clutch. Not hella packed and they got seats so you can wait for your drink. Just NO CASH which most people don't use anyways

    Ube waffle
    Christina D.

    Found this in southland mall next to auntie Anne's. We got 2 slushees and an ube waffle. OMG! It was ahhhh mazing! I made the mistake of getting one and my kids fought over it. It was delicious warm with ice cream. Not too sweet it was perfect. The slushies where made to perfection highly recommend. There's so many options to choose from it's overwhelming. They have a flavor for everyone I kid you not. I wish this place was closer to home! It's a self service set up and the process was simple and easy. There was 3 people in the back and the wait time was about a few minutes highly worth the wait. Try this place you will not be disappointed.

    Lazy Lady !!

    This order took over 20 minutes !! It was 11:40 the mall was barly opening: and she was seen just chilling on her phone being so lazy!!

    Hubby and I was out watching a movie when afterwards we were craving for boba. We saw Boba Nation right next to Auntie Anne's so we decided to give them a try. There was no line to order but there were a bit of people waiting for their drinks. Hubby ordered the mango fruit tea and I decided to go with the split cup: red berry hibiscus lemonade and I believe the strawberry lemonade. It was a bit of a wait for our drinks but not too long, I believe about 15-20 mins. Hubby was a little jealous when he seen my split cup drink, as he said I had a bigger cup then he did. The drinks were good, the staff was kind, the wait could've been better. They do have a lot of different varieties of drinks. I may stop by again when we're at the mall to grab another drink. Hopefully by then the wait time isn't too long.

    Mango Cream Slush
    Abigail M.

    This place is overrated. Slow pace. Need more staff. God knows how long I waited for two damn drink. I ordered two Cream Slushy first of all where the hell did the cream go? It was straight up sugar and artificial flavor. waste of money didn't even bother ask what is my sugar level then of course I'd forget to asked. They have million type of drinks with tiny images. My drink doesn't look like from the picture. TF I am confused as it is. Never again. it's a scam however i'll try other drinks then maybe.

    Are there latte free options available?

    Do you mean caffeine free? If so, yes. They have lemonades that don't have caffeine in them and you can still get all the add ons. Just can't add milk or adjust sweetness... Because it's lemonade.

    Order: 1 BBQ Chicken Bánh Mì…read more1 Mango Cane Nước Mia Total: $16.09 The Bánh Mì was PHENOMENAL! The bread was so soft yet crunchy and flaky--I could tell it was extremely fresh. The BBQ chicken was very tender with no fat and cooked with delicious spices. Just incredible. The veggies were also very fresh and crunchy. With every bite it just kept getting better. It's a pretty big-sized Bánh Mì--you can easily eat half and save the other half for later. The mango cane drink was delicious and very refreshing. I enjoyed every sip of it. Food: 10/10. The service was excellent! The young ladies working there were very welcoming and sweet. One even grabbed me a stool to sit on while I waited for my order, which was very thoughtful. The wait was not long 5-10 minutes. Not many customer around 12pm on Friday. Customer service: 10/10. The ambiance is cute. It's located in the heart of downtown Hayward near City Hall. The establishment is tiny, but they do have stools where you can sit and enjoy your Bánh Mì it's almost like being in Vietnam. There's no outside seating. Parking can definitely be challenging. You can park in the Lucky's supermarket lot, across the street in the parking structure, or if you're lucky, find street parking right in front of the establishment. This might be my favorite Bánh Mì spot. I will definitely be coming back. I just hope one day their hours and days expand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

I ordered again today and I received blueberries instead of bananas on a waffle I've ordered the same way this week as well. I love supporting Hayward small businesses but this store definitely needs to improve on accuracy and timing to make it a strong contender in the downtown Hayward area. I'd rate it a 3.5 to be accurate but will round up to a 4 because the owner seems very sweet.
