    The Castro with boba
    Manny Y.

    Came by to my favorite boba joint. This place rocks. I got a melon milk tea with grass jelly and it was superb. Give them a try. Woman co- owned and Asian ow ed business. The people are also fun!

    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.

    Pacific Heights
    Sydney J.

    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.

    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.

    Korean Corn Dog, misshapen and inedible.
    Nancy L.

    I ordered through DoorDash and I was so disappointed when I received my order. I've never had a Korean corn dog look like this! I wouldn't care if it tasted good but it was burnt too! Whoever made these today 07/06/26 needs more training asap. Sadly, I don't know if I'd risk ordering from here again.

    Mango Boba Drink

    LOVE this place! We visited from San Diego and this was recommended by my local friends. It's hard to find a boba place that also has non caffeine options for the kiddos (or preggo mamas) and the mango drink we ordered wasnt too sweet for my toddler and she truly did not want to share . Their food/snack options are excellent- we got chicken karage and the egg salad sando and both were delicious. Recommend getting these! The bread on the egg salad was super soft! The menu options have something for everyone without being overwhelming, without being overpriced, and not overly sweet. We will be back for sure

    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
    Vincent P.

    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.

    Purple sweet potato croquette

    Tried the new sweet potato croquette and it's sooo good! Love the packaging too, it keeps the fried food nice and crispy instead of getting soggy. Definitely ordering this again! Already a returning customer, and I love that they're always adding new items to the menu.

    This is what counts for an adequate amount of seasoning powder????

    I am on the hunt for the ultimate popcorn chicken and this place was a complete DISAPPOINTMENT!! I ordered delivery (this was the second time and I rely on it due to being disabled) and tried to call the restaurant at least 8 times (because there is no place in the DD app to request anything) but there was no answer. I asked my delivery person to ask for extra seasoning powder for the chicken and he advised me that they refused. Without the seasoning powder they put on the side, the chicken is very boring!! I also ordered the tater tots and they were boring as well. Since they don't really care about customer service, this will be my last order and wont be giving them any more of my money. UPDATE to my review: It's not cool to LIE!! I was on the phone with my delivery person when they asked you and I heard the response!!!!

    Popcorn Chicken
    Anh T.

    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!

    HK Hong Kong Milk Tea
    Julia L.

    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!

    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!

    What drinks are caffeine free?

    Their menu shows which drinks are caffeine free. There are many photos is their menu on Yelp. :)

    Is the Green Thai Milk Tea actually a milk tea or is it just a green thai iced tea?

    Mickie! I see that the remodeling is being done and excited for the new opening. No chance of buying boba kits to go or for pickup?…

    Hi there Vic! Yes we are getting close to opening (3/19)… 

    Do they have vegan milk options?

    Yes we do! We have oat and soy milk substitutes.

We were the first group of 9 to come in right at opening and were told that because we had a large group everyone was required to spend $70. That's not hard to hit considering you're eating out at a sushi restaurant, but the fact that we were told to spend at least $70 a person in order to be seated is crazy! We even asked what was recommended and the seasonal donburi or sake was the most popular. So now we went for those options, but still had to make up the remaining $32 per person that went for the sake donburi. Some people that didn't even want to drink opted for beer because they already got matcha next door. Service charge was already included yet the requirement to spend $70 a person just to dine here is ridiculous. I would come back, but not with a group of more than 4. Anyone that has friends or colleagues of more than 4 go elsewhere!

The place fills up around 6pm so arriving ahead of that will save you a wait. They don't take reservations, so first come first served. The ordering experience is really smooth. Everything is done through an iPad at your table and the food comes out to you. They won't let you place a new order until your previous one has been delivered, which honestly is a smart system and helps with pacing so you don't over order right out of the gate.

You can also order appetizers, salmon, teriyaki chicken and more, so there's something for people who want to mix it up beyond rolls. Delicious, easy, affordable and in the neighborhood.

It's a great cold dish to start. Then we got the oden with the mochi filled tofu purse, beef tendon and fish ball. Really yummy and the tendon is so silky soft. Then finally we shared chicken oyster skewers, chicken thigh and green onion skewers, the pork katsu and tuna don. It was really fantastic meal and good progression ending with the final rice dish. The skewers have a great charcoal taste and we loved the seaweed they give you with the tuna rice to make little wraps with. It's a really delicious combination.

It's quite difficult to get a reservation and my friend had to book it a month out. We ordered the $90 set menu and opted to get the $15 sashimi add on with 3 additional cuts that include Japanese uni. I thought it was a great deal for just the uni alone! Unfortunately it wasn't the best uni I've had - the flavor was pretty lacking, but at least it didn't taste bitter or foul. Can't really complain for the price. Most of the other dishes were pretty simple, but very well made. The chicken katsu had a perfect panko crisp on the outside. The udon was handmade with great texture - but had no additional protein besides an egg. My favorite part was the hojicha panna cotta at the end. Overall, the dishes were not very creative or memorable in any way if you've been to Japan before. But it's rare to find authentic and high quality Japanese meals in Bay Area and this is one of them. Also I was still a bit hungry after the meal :c

My wife ordered the mentaiko spaghetti while I ordered their special for the evening -- a salmon ochazuke. The karaage was lightly battered, blistering hot when it arrived at our table, but could have used some salt. The yaki onigiris looked very nicely grilled, but could have sat longer on the grill to pick up a more uniform layer of crispy rice on the outside. The mentaiko spaghetti was the crowd favorite of the night: the noodles were cooked perfectly, the dish was well-seasoned, and every bite was rich, creamy and full of umami. Unfortunately, the salmon ochazuke was one of the worst dishes I've ordered this year; this dish missed the mark on multiple points. To start, the rice was a mushy mess. The last time I had rice with this awful texture was at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Oahu. For a restaurant that specializes in Japanese food, I had much higher expectations for the rice. The amount of salmon included in the bowl is criminal. There's no more than a few ounces of salmon so you've effectively paid $22 for a bunch of rice in some broth. If this is the special on the menu on your visit, I would avoid it at all costs. Overall, I left Bon, Nene pretty disappointed. For a place this popular, I would have expected every dish to be a home run.
