My son and I have stopped by a few times now, and we've enjoyed our drinks each time. We've mostly stuck with milk teas, so I can't really speak for the rest of the menu, but the ones we've tried have been tasty (usually taro and thai tea). I wouldn't say the tea itself is particularly high quality or anything that will blow your mind, but it does the job when you're craving a casual milk tea. The tapioca boba has always had the texture it should: nice and chewy without being too hard or mushy, so no complaints there i guess. I also really like that they have stamp cards. I'm a sucker for a loyalty card because it gives me more incentive to stop by whenever I happen to be in Gig Harbor. The shop itself is pretty small, with just a few seats inside, but it usually hasn't been too busy whenever we've visited. There's also a kiosk you can order from. In general, Pearl Tea is a reliable 4-star boba spot for me. Nothing fancy or life-changing, but the drinks are good, the boba is properly chewy, and I would stop by again when I'm in the area.

Never had a mochi but it is a soft chewy donut. Plenty of donuts at 1p, which is hard to find. The space is small, no internal seating, so take and go or potential outdoor seating for better weather days. The servers were busy but very nice and quick to get the donuts and coffee. The coffee is local (Olympic Coffee) and they also sell boba teas. Highly recommend to stop by and support the small business while shopping or on your walk. I did not know of this spot, just happen to be next store shopping and wanted a coffee and donut. Understand these are gourmet donuts and not a typical shop or grocery store. They are higher on the costs but worth it for this type of store.

The seating was bench and table, not too busy early afternoon to sit where we wanted. Ordered Pho (Combo & Brisket), Banh Mi Chicken and a Bubble Peach Tea. The food took longer than a typical Pho restaurant takes. The boba tea came out right away. The drink was grainy, which leads me to assume they use the powdered mixture. The Tapioca balls were mushy. Not recommended as this drink gets a 2. The Banh Mi was good 3.5, meat was not dry and plenty of fillings. The negative was the mayo, a little too much as it overpowered the taste. I needed to add sauces to counter. The Pho bowls were excellent 5, the regular was still a lot. They need to add a smaller bowl. There was a lot of meat, more than normal. The broth was not greasy. The side toppings were fresh and not wilted. Highly recommend trying this place out. We happen to drive by and the colorful windows caught our attention. We only ate Vietnamese dishes, but they have other items fried rice to tenders to satisfy any party. Next time I come out, I will try their noodle bowls.

The mochi donut flavors that I saw were : funnel cake, churro, taro, cookie butter, and coconut fudge. You can order using the self service kiosk and use Apple pay, which I prefer to do. Menu prices are about the same on DoorDash, which is great considering there are sometimes huge markups to balance out their fees. (Cost): $4.85 + tip (Location): It is in a very busy shopping area near Trader Joe's and Safeway. There is plenty of parking, but the area gets extremely packed, I prefer to park a bit away and then walk there. The area is very nice-- I would describe it has middle class to upper middle class. I love how beautifully decorated this shop is. Seating consists of a medium size couch, two benches, some seating by the widow l, and a table with 3 chairs. (Service): Excellent! Despite being busy working on items, the employee greeted me as I entered and was very polite when he gave me my order. What I didn't like was how rude one of the delivery drivers was. He greeted them and they simply shove their phones in his face without saying anything after yelling for him to come from the back. I hope drivers like that learn some manners or are removed from the shop. (Food): 16 oz Thai Tea Creme Brulee (5/5)-- according to the self checkout machine this drink is quite popular and I can see why! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, and the boba wasn't too soft or firm. I only wish I had gotten the bigger size.

Nothing that had me in awe as much as the decorations here. Service was okay. They were nice, but when asked questions about orders, they would just shrug. Not really knowledgeable on the menu, but maybe because we came late at the night before closing time, so staff was sleepy and ready to clock out. Kiosk is right next to the cashed desk, which I thought was inconvenient because if there were multiple people in line, it would be hard to differentiate with who was in which line

While running errands in Gig Harbor, I discovered Fresh Rolls. Being a fan of Spring Rolls, I couldn't resist ordering the Shrimp Spring Roll accompanied by peanut dipping sauce, along with two egg rolls. They were both delivered fresh and flavorful. Fresh Rolls is an ideal spot for a satisfying, quick lunch or dinner. The staff members were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. With additional locations in Tacoma and Fircrest, I'm already planning my next visits. read more

My friends and I actually ordered a dish from each. Our overall feedback is that the dishes needed more seasoning, some umami. We all had to add more salt and soy sauce- AND I never add more salt. I'm usually saying something is too salty. The portions were large but just lacking flavor. The Pad Se Ew and Beef Foo Young basically tasted the same. Not amazing. The eggplant dish (one of my fave Chinese dishes) was just ok. It was the best out of all the things we ordered. We went on a Friday and the place was busy w takeout orders. Maybe that affected the dinner service. Ambiance could use some help. It was very QUIET except for the people coming and going for take out. So quiet that we can hear customers conversations from the other side. We even had to quiet ourselves because at one point we were the only ones having a conversation. Background music would go a long way. Takeaway- Variety of menu items to try. Hoping the bland food was a one off. Will give it another try because there were a ton of people getting takeout.
