    Thai milk tea with lychee jelly, Boss Black Milk Tea with lychee jelly, Taro milk tea with boba, and Hurricane Matcha.
    Nancy N.

    I ordered 6 drinks today and I was a little disappointed in the boba. The boba was old texture boba, I know that because I used to work at a restaurant before. The drinks are decent definitely need more tea flavor to it. Service was great today, very friendly. It's a small shop with banh mi, roasted pork, ducks, and party trays to order. Would I order again? Uhm probably but they definitely need to stop using old boba though.

    We went here for the plate of nation special. It was our first time. Even though the space is small, the menu is extensive. I had for the first time a KimChi bugolgi beef banh mi. It didn't have that much meat. My friend liked her roasted duck banh mi. She said her tea was good as well.

    Ube Milk Latte

    I visited Boss Tea after having dinner nearby, and it was a good spot for a beverage. Boss Tea is a small Vietnamese shop on Rainier Avenue that offers small dishes and a whole menu of different boba drinks to try. On a Saturday evening I was pleasantly surprised to find that Boss Tea was still open after we ate dinner, and there were a few people getting takeout here. Although they serve lots of different Vietnamese bites, I came here for a beverage for the drive home. I was pleased to find that they had a lot of different ube drinks, which is my favorite! Since I didn't want anything with caffeine, I ordered an ube milk latte, which didn't take long to get. The drink was tasty, with lots of ube flavor. Glad to have checked out Boss Tea while around the neighborhood. It's a solid spot for some boba or tea with friendly staff that's happy to accommodate whatever you prefer.

    Grilled pork and egg banh mi and avocado, egg, ham banh mi

    We usually go to Tony's bakery for banh mi sandwiches, but this morning my boyfriend and I were craving bubble tea. It's hard because on a Saturday morning at 10AM, bubble tea places tend not to open until 11-12pm. Well we searched up Yelp and found Boss Tea just a block away serving banh mi sandwiches AND bubble tea, amazing! I got the egg & avocado banh mi and added ham to it- like a breakfast sandwich egg, ham, and avocado, and my boyfriend got their grilled pork and egg banh mi. Sandwiches were delicious! It's also a plus that you have the option to customize your sandwich as well. We can't wait to come back to try some of their more non-traditional banh mis like the roast pork, duck, and there was even lobster on the menu! We also picked up a peach black tea and a matcha mango. Both were very good. I find that sometimes matcha drinks don't have enough of a matcha taste but there is plenty here! Can't wait to come back and try their other menu items and drinks!

    I used to love coming here but recently the guy working the tea area is really not nice. I feel like he is rude, never friendly like zero % friendliness, and makes me feel bad for asking any questions or even wasting his time up by ordering something. The ladies that I've encountered are all nice but he has been the one I've been having to interact with lately nearly every time and I think I've had enough that I'll stop coming here sadly.

    I visited here with my sister today, we ordered a few different coffee lattes and a lemongrass tofu banh mi for my hubs. I had the ube coffee latte and the tiramisu coffee latte. My sister ordered the pink butterfly and strawberry milk latte. All of it was good, my sister is super upset that there isn't a place like this near her so everytime she comes over we have to get drinks like this. She 100% recommends the strawberry milk latte if you like strawberry type drinks, the tiramisu coffee latte was too sweet for me so next time I'll order it with less sugar. Next time I'm in this area I'm gonna try one of their fruit teas.

    Sticker found in my drink!
    Leah R.

    This was my first time coming to this shop. I thought the service was okay but while drinking my boba on the way home, I felt something weird in my mouth. I pulled it out and uncurled this sticker or label. Super disappointed and dissatisfied with my first visit and I probably won't return. Unfortunately I was already on the road and it wasn't worth it to turn around but this is gross.

    super delicious! some of the best matcha i've had in the area. and their strawberry add in was so tasty. my roommate got the matcha hurricane which was also awesome, can't wait to try more!

    Arie L.

    Pretty good! Loved how chewy my boba was. Their ice is square cube shaped, I know most people want to know with ice preference. This place is worth the drive and shares the same interior with banhmi sandwiches. No fresh fruit or fresh take but if you're looking for something sweet and refreshing this place is it. The workers are incredibly nice and knowledgeable and most of all honest. I will continue to support this small business.

    I came to Boss Tea a couple of times now. It's been nothing but a good experience each time. Drinks: There are extensive selections of beverages from tea, coffee, matcha, etc. The photo shows Matcha Hurricane(B1) and Mocha Vietnamese coffee (V1) with egg pudding and Boba. Very appealing from the look. Sweetness, ice level, toppings are all adjustable, just like other bubble tea. Cleanliness: The store is clean with a warming atmosphere--definitely 5/5. Staff: Friendly and attentive staff. Drinks and food are prepared promptly. Even they could get busy during lunchtime, and the turnover time is still quick Parking: Shared rear parking with Rainier restaurant. Overall, I recommend if you are craving bubble tea in the area and enjoy! :)

    There wasn't anything too spectacular about the drink, after going to so many boba places, it's starting to kind of be similar with the sugary blended drinks. But it is really cool that they also serve food here, like legit Vietnamese food you would find at a deli, not just snacks. They share a parking lot with Rainier Restaurant. There's very minimal seating here, like 4 small bar stools against the window, not really enough room to sit and hang out, more to have a seat while waiting for your order to be ready. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

    Mango/grapefruit oolong tea w/ mango jelly, lychee jelly, and tapioca Peach/mango oolong tea w/tapioca and lychee jelly
    Lesly V.

    This place is great! The deluxe Bánh mí was delicious with flavorful and crunchy pork belly! The bread was toasty yet easy to chew and the veggies tasted super fresh. We also had the pork and shrimp spring rolls which were amazinggg! They're not small like most places and the peanut sauce was okay for the most part. We like spicy food so we added some siracha to the peanut sauce and also added that to the banh mi The boba was pretty good! I got a peach/mango oolong tea with tapioca and lychee jelly and my boyfriend got a grapefruit/mango oolong tea with tapioca, mango jelly and lychee jelly (not on the menu but the lady was super nice about letting us create a drink) There was only 2 women working and one of them seemed like she was new but we were in no rush so we had no problem with the wait. The place is very small but very chill and quiet with a zen vibe.

I'm actually not a bagel guy, nor do I ever think about them when it comes to grabbing a quick bite somewhere but this was a perfect opportunity to try it again. There was an assortment of bagels, and I got half of an everything bagel and - the one that several of my coworkers highly recommended - the rosemary bagel. Both go well with cream cheese. - The everything bagel was pretty standard; I could taste the garlic and sesame seeds throughout. Garlic was quite powerful on this one though, and I almost thought of garlic bread until I remembered bagels are harder to chew on. - My favorite was the rosemary bagel, just like my coworkers. I could taste the herbs clearly on this one; it was aromatic yet a little bitter. It was balanced with the saltiness already present on the bagel. Since I didn't go to their physical location - which looks like quite a walk from Georgetown - I have yet to see the inside of this place.

In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.

I can start with the food - the vegan biscuit and gravy was good. I enjoyed the flavor though the biscuit was fairly dry (not totally unexpected in a vegan biscuit) and the gravy could have been a bit richer. I am not sure how my partner's food was - because we had to sit apart. We brought our pup, which we've done at other restaurants and leave him strictly in his carrier which many restaurants are okay with; here we were told our pup had to be outside regardless. We had also brought our little one, who would need to sit inside because there were only benches outside, and the table chair we have, well, it needs a table. Okay, all good, my partner and I are pretty good at calling audibles, and the staff member who had asked us to have the dog outside said they'd come by and take my order since I'd be outside with the pup. Here's what happened next (after combining accounts with my partner): -my partner tried to get our little one set up in their table chair -in this process the same staff member informed my partner they needed to place a food order and couldn't just feed the little one here (uh, of course, but maybe we need a minute to get settled especially now that they're single parenting?) -I waited patiently outside and no one ever came to take my order -instead once my partner went to place their order, I had to call them to share my order and have it placed I will say, at least my order was still brought to me outside, but the whole situation felt disrespectful, and honestly, our family ended up feeling unwelcome. It's hard to focus on the food when you're treated as if you're misusing a restaurant space when all you're trying to be is an adequate parent. I'm sure this would be a lovely place to eat as long as you don't bring an unexpected factor (aka a pup) that leads to your family being split and then assumed to being a mooch of some kind...

We ended up waiting around 10 minutes before realizing no one was going to help or explain the process. Overall, this place felt overhyped.

So when I ordered one beef and one cheese, they were both tasty but a little stale than what you would get fresh. The owner also asked if I wanted a little salsa cup, which really added to the flavour of the empanadas.
