    First visit since pandemic. I visited the shop many times during pandemic. It small boba shop at mission. It was nice shop. I remember the first time I came during pandemic, they only took order and served the drink via the small front window. Beside boba milk tea, they also have fruit tea, small bites. They even have half gallon size. The drink is customizable like sweetness, ice level, milk option , size and milk choice. I was around Clarion Alley at the other side and remember this shop at the other side and I stopped by to get my favorite mangonada drink with crystal boba. I was nice to have the mangonada again. If you are at mission area , you should give it a try.

    Thought they had really interesting no flavor options, but maybe I ordered wrong. We asked for half sweet and instead of telling us they couldn't they made our drinks 30% sweet. The fruit in the tea was very subtle because of this, but the mungbean tea was nice and nutty just kind of thick and grainy.

    Pacific Heights

    I decided to try the Pacific Heights: seasonal pineapple and lime fruit tea, uses jasmine tea. I set it to easy (30) sweet, easy ice, and I opted for a straw which is compostable. At the time, it would have costed $0.85 more if wanted to upgrade to large. You can order with a kiosk in the store, and it was made within 3 minutes. The drink was pretty good, refreshing, fruity, without being too sweet. I did feel it was a little on the small side relative to price though.

    Cute little tea place that's a short walk from Dolores Park! They have a wide variety of drinks and offerings beyond just the generic teas and milk teas, including their popular Hong Kong Milk Tea and Mung Bean Latte. I'm a huge fan of grass jelly, so their Ice Grass Jelly drink with condensed milk is a sweet treat that evokes nostalgia for my Taiwanese taste buds. Their small bites are also great, with a variety of Chinese/Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean offerings, including popcorn chicken, takoyaki, katsu sando, and Korean corn dog. They even offer a picnic pack for 2 for $32.50, so if you want to go for a picnic (like a nice date, or even go with a friend), that's a nice option. It's a tiny place, so there's no seating in here. But it seems to be a popular choice to pick up something here if you're going to hang out in the area, especially at Dolores Park.

    Hong Kong Milk Tea

    We were looking for boba shops in the are and decided to give District Tea a try. Parking is difficult to find, it's a very busy area. Luckily, I was with my siblings and they went to order the drinks while I waited in the car. I got the Hong Kong Milk Tea and thought that it was quite average. It tasted a little water down as well. My siblings also thought that their drinks were just okay. We probably won't be coming back since the drinks were just okay, but the snacks do look tasty.

    Popcorn Chicken

    Tried their Popcorn Chicken and Mixed Onigiri (Salmon and Tuna Onigiri recently)! I got their food to-go as there is no seating, and I was given salt and pepper & the spicy chili pepper on the side. The chicken was not as crispy as I liked but I enjoyed the flavoring with the salt and pepper! The salmon and tuna in the onigiri was fresh, and it was quite easy to open without any sticky mess. I can't comment on their drinks, but I have to Hojicha Milk Tea in the future! The place was a bit hard to find. Great diversity in the typical Asian snacks of popcorn chicken and takoyaki along with a good selection of boba!

    Just had their egg salad sando and it's so yummy, can't wait to come back and try other things! Plus the staff is super friendly :)

    District Tea is a hidden gem in the heart of the Mission. It has a relaxed ambience, tons of drink options and truly unique offerings you don't see everywhere--like a sweet potato latte (!)--so there's really something for everyone. It was my first visit and I wasn't sure what to order, but the staff was super friendly and welcoming. They recommended the Hong Kong milk tea, which was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. I also got the popcorn chicken and spam musubi, and everything was delicious. Grabbed everything to go and enjoyed it at Dolores Park--such a perfect Mission combo. Already feels like a new local go-to, and I'll definitely be back to try more!

    Katsu Sando
    Vicky P.

    I had an amazing time at District Tea. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with hospitality and quick service. I wasn't sure what I should order from their menu because they have a variety of options so I asked for a recommendation. The katsu sando and the mung bean latte were recommended to me so I ordered those two. The katsu sando was the perfect size for a quick bite and was crispy and juicy with just the right amount of filling inside. Some places stuff their katsu sando so much that the filling falls out and makes it messy to eat but this had the perfect amount for me. The mung bean latte was not too sweet and tasted amazing, like I was eating a mung bean ice cream! You could tell they used real mung beans to make the latte and not any powder or syrups. As a heads up for people visiting for the first time, there isn't a sit-down area with chairs inside but it's very clean and spacious, especially for those who would like to stand inside to wait for their drinks and food instead of waiting outside on the street in the sun. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. There's not much free street parking but if you're nearby Dolores Park or on Valencia Street, it's definitely worth the walk to get a snack and drink from here!

    Popcorn Chicken
    Janny W.

    I've been ordering their popcorn chicken for a few years now, and it's consistently solid. Always crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. I really appreciate that they include both regular and spicy pepper on the side, perfect for customizing your heat level. (I prefer spicy) Also, don't sleep on the Katsu Sando! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the taste makes it worth the splurge. Highly recommend!

    This Boba spot has been on my list for sometime so when my friends came into the city we came here for some Boba and snacks. The popcorn chicken was on point, nice and hot. We ordered the iced Grass jelly, hot sweet potato latte, and hot Hojicha tea crema. The ice grass jelly was pretty tasty although quite sweet even with low sugar we were impressed with the sweet potato latte. It was really good, slightly sweet but not overpowering. Even though I did not get the Hojicha with milk, the salted caramel cream was strong enough to taste like milk tea. The service was quick. The place was to go only, no table nothing. It was cold outside, so we actually ate by the counter. I think it would be nice to have some standing tables available. Everything was great, but for almost 7 dollars a drink for a tiny cup was not worth it. We strongly feel like the drinks with that price should be automatically the large.

    I would give this place a 3.5. We placed our order an hour before arriving, but when we got there, we still had to wait for it. It seemed like they had just started preparing it, which I understand since they want to serve fresh food. However, I would've appreciated it if the order was ready when I arrived, as it was placed in advance. Popcorn Chicken - must be eaten right away or else it will get soggy. Nicely fried though but wished it had more basil-y flavor. Came with pepper powder and chili powder on the side. Katsu sando - classic katsu sandwich. It was delightful! I didn't get a chance to try their drinks though so hopefully in the future I would like to try..

    This place is amazing! I ordered delivery and the food arrived quickly, still warm and crispy. That's so important for deep-fried dishes, and they really nailed the packaging. The portions are super generous too. With how expensive everything is in SF right now, District Tea is honestly great value and such a nice treat for myself. The squid pieces were huge, and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken tasted so authentic, complete with pepper salt and basil leaves! I can't wait to visit in person someday and try more items on the menu. Oh yes, the musubi is amazing too! Nom!

I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason.

She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.
