Boba tasted like nothing. I think the guy forgot to put the brown sugar in. Every swallow of the tea was great followed by a chew of disappointment. Not coming back here. read more

This place is great! I've been coming here with my boyfriend for over four years now. This place has excellent customer service and great boba. There is this particularly amazing drink that resembles a mango lassi. When ordering a mango smoothie ask for the usual ice-cream to be replaced or substituted for dairy free creamer. This is by far the best mango smoothie that I've ever had. It is sweet but it is smooth and creamy. Add some mango jelly to give it an edge or mango popping boba to give it a pop. I also enjoy these drinks as they are pretty delicious on their own: -Guava ice tea -kumquat ice tea My boyfriend enjoys: -Coffee milk tea -Taro smoothie The uniqueness of the mango smoothie will make you want to come back again as it is super delicious! Give them a try if you are in town. We have sampled most of their drinks and we have yet to find something we didn't like. Our favorite is the mango smoothie with the dairy free creamer. :) read more

Formosa Tea Time - Mango smoothie with dairy free creamer w/mango popping boba and mango jelly (black lid), and the tiger milk tea (white lid) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

They did have a owner change recently, not sure when. The previous guys behind the counter haven't been there in my last couple visits. The popcorn chicken did change, no longer the heaping bags but in a box now, still a decent amount. Does seem a bit better than my last visit about a month ago in terms of portion. Mild spicy still quite spicy. Seems the seasoning has changed, it's not as salty. The best part of their popcorn chicken is the meatiness of the pieces, not just getting small parts of chicken with a lot of batter. Seems the large size of the drinks has increased in size, its 32 Oz now. I seem to recall it being smaller before. read more

The service has gotten better. They have an average variety of drinks and types of Boba like mango popping boba, rainbow jelly boba and etc. They also have good variety of snacks like popcorn chicken and fries. Very yummy and very cheap. They also have broad games. Also why I like coming here is because they close 11pm. read more

Big fan of their mango green tea and popcorn chicken and fries. The portions are great and very reasonably priced. Unfortunately they changed their doordash radius so I cant order from them but hoping they decide to change it back one day so I can continue ordering read more

Highlight: Yelp's two star rating scale of "Meh, I've experienced better" sums up my experience here. I had a family event at a nearby place and was craving boba so I came here with some cousins. Food&Drinks: I got a jasmine green milk tea while the others got the tiger milk. The boba in my drink was hard and chewy (in a there was a solid center kind of way). The egg pudding in one of my cousins' drinks looked extra spongy which I had never seen before. We got an order of popcorn chicken which was not bad but also very run of the mill. Service: It is such a sleepy little place in an even sleepier plaza. There were only two other people in the shop and the cashier seemed bored out of her mind. She was friendly and patient as we browsed the menu though! Bottom line: I probably wouldn't be back even if I was in the area. It had such good ratings so I figured I'd give it a go but I'm not entirely sure how it's a four star place. read more

I got the honey green milk tea with boba, no ice, 25% sweet, which I thought lacked flavor. The green tea was definitely present, but lacked a "kick." Perhaps it could be that I got too less of sugar. I tried the almond milk tea with boba, 100% sweet, and to me that was too sweet. Located in a large shopping plaza next to TMobile with ample parking. Spacious inside with about 8-9 tables inside. Ambiance is great inside, full blast air conditioning on a warm day, to a point where I felt cold. Music playing in the background, but not too loud. Super friendly staff members. I asked for the restroom key many times and no one hurried me out after being here for almost 2 hours. Yelp check in gets you 10% off a drink. I'm willing to try them again. read more

Wednesday May 29th 7:05pm. The two workers that worked here was rude, they didn't even acknowledge the customers that was there wanting to order or pick up a phone order. I was standing there waiting for them so I can pay, not even a "hi" or "welcome" nor "thank you" when I called and ask if they have anything sour and the girl that answered the phone said "I'm not sure" really? Oh well, I'll just stick to ding tea or boba time the next tile I'm in the area to get boba. read more

I'm not sure what changed but when I came back to this place and ordered the same thing.. it tasted mediocre. I got the taro slush with boba. I guess this is what you pay for especially when it's very cheap. The boba was hard to chew which made the drink itself unpleasant to consume. You can definitely taste all the sugar packed of taro powder in the slush. I would not come back again... read more

Service Okay, but rather slow for 2 orders of popcorn chicken and 1 order of fried tofu. We were told the wait would be 15-20 min but ended up waiting 35 minutes. How long does it take to fry up small pieces of food? Food Popcorn Chicken: the portion is okay for the price, but it was rather sweet and a tad salty. It's very crispy, but I feel the flavored powder reminds me of those from instant noodle packages. Fried Tofu: It's HOT so let it cool before you attempt biting into it. It tastes alright and the crisp is kind of there, but it just turns into a huge soggy oily mess after an hour. The inside is very soft, which is nice. Avocado Milkshake with Egg Pudding: 75% sweet and it was just right. My tongue got a strong hit of avocado when I first tried it, which was good, but it died down soon after. Only available in a large. Egg pudding doesn't go very well with it so don't attempt haha. Mango Green Tea with Boba: Too sweet :( Overall, Formosa is a nice place to chill if you're up for the wait and their portion sizes are a-okay, but if you want quality then go somewhere else! read more

Sometimes I come to Formosa tea time exclusively for their kaarage chicken. It is seriously the best I've had in OC and they give you a good amount for their price. The reason I'm taking off a store though is because I'm not too keen on their milk teas. I'm lactose intolerant and they don't have any milk substitutes so I can't really have any of their dairy based drinks! The fruit slushees are great though, I usually get them with half sugar and it's perfect :) read more

Im pretty big on milk teas and id say this is one of my top 3 spots for classic milk tea and boba. This place is definitely going to be a regular spot for me now read more

POPCORN CHICKEN SMACKS. My boyfriend first introduced me to this place 2 years ago & it used to be our little chicken go-to place. POPCORN CHICKEN STILL SMACKS after these years, BUT, lately other places(7 Leaves) have been making their chicken better. Chicken is crispy, but lately the batches have been a majority of fried breading & chicken fat so I'm a little disappointed. The bag is actually pretty big & it's something that you'd share with someone. This place is run down and bathroom is ugly. Their decorations aren't really cute & their workers need more energy, but & I'm not really one to care about customer service unless it's either SUPER good or horrible. This is the only place where I would accept powdered drinks :) read more

Your typical boba joint, Formosa Tea Time does a great job providing good food and a variety of drinks. I tend to order the fried tofu, popcorn chicken, and cheese sticks as well as some variation of boba slush. The prices are considerably cheap compared to other boba places and the overall atmosphere reminds me of my days back in grade school with all the toys and games around. The service is laid back, which isn't bad at all, and they do a good job of getting orders out as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Go check them out! read more

I have been here so many times, it's a surprise I haven't reviewed this place yet. Ambiance: It's a typical boba joint with free wifi. They do have board games (very limited though) and as for the size of their location, they never really get overcrowded. Parking isn't too bad also as the place is located in a town center. They open pretty late for a boba joint Food: This place is THE BEST in terms of getting your money's worth AND it's actually good. They did increase their food price since I've been there 3 years ago but it's not a drastic price change. Food is still good and in ample proportions (especially their popcorn chicken) The only reason I docked a star is the owner used to see me so often, he would accommodate to my half/half order. Now they don't do it :( Even if I pay for the higher food price. Drinks: drinks are always consistent and they are mindful of your requests (easy ice/easy sugar, etc) The drink sizes range from a regular to a super large (Pho -size container LOL) Overall, I love this place. Sometimes I'll even drop by on my way up north since it's so close to the 5. I don't live that close by to it anymore but any chance I get, I try to come back even if I'm going to eat after! read more

I was in the area and decided to try a new boba spot. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with our drinks. The decor was very cute and simple. I really liked that they had board games here, so it's a pretty good spot to hangout. The workers here are nice and if you check in you get 10% off your drinks. Overall, I thought the drinks were WAY too sweet. I got the Milk Tea Smoothie with boba, which didn't turn out too good. There was pieces of really hard or mushy boba with no flavor. We got a Almond Milk Tea Smoothie and it was so much sweeter than the Milk Tea Smoothie that it was pretty hard to drink. I don't think I would come here again, although, it was around $3 for a drink. read more

I ordered a green tea with salt foam and boba, which is my go to order for a new boba place and was not impressed. The boba was too hard and the foam had such a weird flavor.I could not even finish the drink. I will not be coming back The staff was nice though read more

Tea's aren't freshly brewed & smoothies taste really artificial. Nice spot but not quality drinks :(

Ahhhh, I love a good smoothie! I ordered the mango with a scoop of ice cream and boba. I really like this smoothie, tasty and the boba gives it some texture. Some people don't like boba because it's "chewy", but I must have boba with any smoothie! The service was quick and they were friendly. They answered my questions about the different smoothie options. The store itself was clean and orderly. Plenty of seating indoors. Outside they have a couple of tables. Back of the store they have a couple of old school video games and the gender neutral restroom is located there. They also have some board games if you want to play with your friends or family. Also They have free WiFi, the password is found posted on the wall. Price: it's pretty average in price. For a large size I paid just under $5. Tip: they take phone orders. I give it a solid 4 stars. Give them a try. read more

Mediocre drinks, mediocre service, overall super average. My girlfriend and I came here after hanging out with some friends. We were craving boba from somewhere and we noticed this place wasn't too far from where we were at so we wanted to try a new place. Drinks: My girlfriend got the honey green milk tea and I got the tiger (thai tea and milk tea) milk tea since I usually round for the most popular drink per place. When I got the drink, the cup was super flimsy and the sealing machine didn't exactly seal my drink correctly so it was hard to cut open. It could've been the material, it could've been the awkward placing of the cup, who knows. All I know is that my drink tasted like it came out of a can. (We didn't get to try the food because they were closing soon so the kitchen was closed) Service: Service was pretty bad. I get that you're closing soon, but lighten up. If I ask your milk teas are dairy free, it's probably because I'm lactose intolerant/allergic. Why would you laugh at that? I don't get what's funny. The young lady behind the cash register chuckled a little like I was already supposed to know that all the milk teas are non-dairy. It was our first time and some places have dairy milk teas, and some of them don't. Overall, we probably won't be coming back. With a mix between mediocre drinks and bad service, there are plenty of other boba places in the area and we'll try those before coming back here. read more

Cute little place. There are arcade games and free wifi. 35 cents charge for credit card orders less than $5. Amex is not accepted. Service is polite. There is plenty of parking. Chocolate milk tea is ok. I would not come back here again. read more

I live for the Taro smoothie! I can't help but stop by here while grocery shopping as it is right next to my favorite grocery store, Aldi. The place is small but cute with little tables, toys and arcade games in the back. The tea and smoothies are great. They have very quick service and good prices! I also like that you can choose how much sugar they put in your drink! I go for the 25% !!! Trying to get shredded for summer! read more

Probably the worst boba I've never had. We were in the area and decided to check this place out since boba spots in Anaheim are scarce. The first thing that hits you when you walk in is this strong musky smell, it's pretty overbearing. I ordered the Royal Milk Tea with boba and my husband got the Green Milk Tea. There weren't a lot of people in the store but we did have to wait longer compared to other busier boba places we've been to. I was pretty surprised when I saw the drinks because the color looked totally off. My husband's green milk tea had a brownish green color.. When I tasted my drink, it was overbearingly sweet and the boba was definitely not fresh and tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. My husband ordered his drink less sweet so it just tasted like slightly sweetened water. We were pretty sure they made their drinks from powder instead of freshly brewed tea. The drinks just tasted so artificial. We were so disappointed about our drinks and regretted coming here. We definitely won't be coming back again. read more

I definitely love this place. I would always see people from where I work at be drinking milk tea and I always wanted to try it. So I went with my daughter to try it got a small at first and start to get a bigger one. So I've been there often now. I think I like it better than Starbucks now. Thank you Formosa tea time. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Really good service but my drink wasn't to my liking. I got a rose milk tea with boba at 75% sugar and it was still very sweet. But I would go back if in the area and order at probably 25% sugar. read more

i just had the WORST boba ever AND the worst customer service. Yelp reviewers, youve let me down. I got the Taro Smoothie w boba. It was OVERLY sweet and you can taste the fakeness of the taro flavor. Plus the purple color of the taro was so bright purple, it can pribably glow in the dark. The boba was overly sweetened as well and you can tell its not fresh boba and its been sitting. The customer service was terrible too! Upon arriving (there was no line), i wasnt even greeted by the guy at the register. he just stood there w his arms crossed waiting for me to say something to him first. No personality, hes jst there to put in time and leave. AND the place had a weird musty/food smell. ugh. worst $4.75 spent. i barely had 5 sips and im tossing my drink. Excuse me while I go to McDonalds to buy a freaking Large Sweet Tea for $1. read more

Decent boba place that opens till late and offers reasonably priced drinks. They also have tables and board games for people to hang out and enjoy. I didn't try any of their snacks but they sure smelled good! I got myself a guava green tea in a large size, we also got 2 more drinks (3 in total). With the 10% with Yelp-check-in, the check was a little more than $10! With getting all large sizes, very affordable! And my drink was yummy! The guava flavor was definitely there, not just a sugary tea drink. read more

A really great experience of kindness and professionalism! I came on a Saturday night. Initially, I asked the person at the register for popcorn chicken, but quickly changed my mind to ordering the fried tofu. After a short wait, my order came out as popcorn chicken and I responded that there might've been a mistake. Without any argument, she and the chef apologized and said that my fried tofu would be right out. I said that it was no biggie and that I would take the chicken, as it was already prepared. After a little back and forth of asking if I was sure, the chef stamped a card for a free boba drink next time. I thought that was really nice of him and was completely satisfied with my chicken. After a few minutes of reading and eating, the chef surprised me with an order of fried tofu! Besides the good food and boba, I really appreciated their thoughtfulness. I really commend the two working here for their character and excellent service! read more

Favorite spot for any "boba" tea. I always get a large peach green tea with lychee jelly. No other place does it like them. And their employees are pleasant. I pair it with their popcorn chicken - spicy please. Highly recommend Formosa Tea Time. read more

UPDATE REVIEW: This is my go to pop corn chicken place but lately they have been doing a horrible job with picking up the phone. I call because I want to order the chicken ahead of time or to check to see if they ran out of chicken, yet NO ONE PICKED UP THE PHONE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RINGING. On top of that, the medium spiced chicken that I received tasted extremely salty and did not taste spIcy like what I am used to since I often come here. This makes me not want to come back because eating salty Chicken is horrible. read more
