    Popcorn Chicken & Drink
    Joyce T.

    Found a new favorite for boba and snacks in Millbrae area. There are so many choices, boba drinks, fruit juice and even a DIY dessert. The combo deal is perfect for a quick bite ($12), we had popcorn chicken and boba milk tea, it;s a good deal. Their papaya milk was great my favorite too. I like the wall display of ingredients, it's really neat to see the real goji berries, sugar canes and sesame seeds they use. Will back for their DIY dessert soon.

    Here's the other photo of popcorn chicken. You can tell it's pink.

    I tried their popcorn chicken for the very first time and it was somewhat decent. I really liked how they fry their popcorn chicken (in terms of their crunch). It looks like maybe tapioca starch was used. The way they make it adds another dimension of crunch. The flavor was a little lacking. I think the pepper in the batter was overpowering the other flavors. I think the popcorn chicken would go really well with some five-spice salt, similar to what Chinese restaurants serve with roast duck. I don't know if it was just my batch, but the popcorn chicken pieces are HUGE. I really wish they cut them into bite size pieces instead of chicken tender size pieces. Even their smaller pieces were either a big ball shape or strips. The pieces should be more uniform. I was initially a little bit concerned seeing black dots on the popcorn chicken, but when I took a bite, I realized it's pepper. It was a little alarming at first since I haven't had popcorn chicken prepared that way before. However, what was more alarming was how the popcorn chicken was cooked. The done-ness of the chicken was uneven. I had some pieces that were white and some of them quite pink. I don't think that's normal. Some parts of the batter were way more brown than some other pieces of popcorn chicken. I wish it came with basil. I feel like without it, it's missing something. The chicken wasn't very juicy, but I am glad it wasn't super dry either.

    Black Sesame Paste
    Bethany W.

    We ONLY got the black sesame paste. It was yummy, but not as smooth and creamy as we like it. Sweetness was just right though. But it was also more expensive than most places. The music inside was also SO loud....service was kinda slow cause it was just one girl too.

    Interesting little dessert spot in Millbrae near all the large Chinese restaurants. Service was definitely a bit slow - took 15ish minutes to get our order, but they also seem a bit under staffed so it's kinda understandable Drinks and desserts were ok. Pretty happy that they have durian desserts but that was about it

    Left: Peach Gum with Red Dates Fresh Milk (hot)
    Michelle L.

    Had wanted to try this place after seeing a foodie blogger on Instagram recommend it as a good alternative to Meet Fresh price wise. Popped in as a group of 3 a little before 2:45pm on a gloomy weekday, and there were only a handful of other customers inside. They have some premade food/drinks in the refrigerated section on the side that you can choose from. Ordered at the kiosk and didn't have to wait too long before our food was ready! - Peach Gum with Red Dates Fresh Milk (hot) - my friend ordered this, and I enjoyed it! Warm and comforting - Ha Tea Handmade Signature - a variety of toppings in your choice of milk or milk tea. I opted for black milk tea as the "soup." A worker informed me that they were out of one of the toppings in the order, so I opted to sub in sago. This is essentially milk tea in bowl form with a TON of toppings haha. I ran out of the milk tea partway through, and one of the workers kindly gave me a refill. Staff were super kind, and the place was overall pretty quiet so this was a great place to chat and catch up. I was expecting to like this as much as Meet Fresh, but it didn't quite hit that for me. Would be open to coming back to try something else on their menu but not exactly itching to return asap

    A bit of a wait but the menu has great selection and they sell some other snacks and desserts in the store as well. Combo was a good deal, chicken is fried per order I think and tea was good. Papaya milk was great, loved it. The menu on the ordering system is way too cluttered with too many sections though, they should really condense it more.

    Solid flavors with a natural clean feel. Minimal additives highlights the crisp tea and subtle fruit tastes. Coexisting among a plethora of milk tea shops in the peninsula, HA Tea stands out with its emphasis on the core substance, tea. Where sweetness is required, it seems more natural sugars are used in the form of fruit. For those looking for a more guilt free choice, consider making a pit stop here. We came in for a quick to go order of a few drinks and they were all very tasty and refreshing. I especially enjoyed the mango milk which had a nice hint of mango. The bits of mango certainly made it pleasant to drink with the added texture and knowing the flavor and sweetness came directly from the fruit, not some sugary syrup. The other drinks we got were also yummy and the crushed fruit, again exemplifies their quality through fresh, hand-crafted drinks infused with the purest form of flavors. Overall, HA Tea Handmade checks all the boxes for me for something refreshing, natural, and delicious. You're not coming here for the flair but instead for the back to basics tea that started all the hype for this industry. If simple ingredients are all you'll want in your tea or fruit drink, that is all you'll get and taste here!

    Always Fast service here. And they answered all my questions. Great to know their milk tea is non- dairy, which is a major plus for lactose intolerance like me. Parking is right in front. It's mostly pack, but we always still manage to get a spot. We live in the east bay, and don't mind paying the toll just to get fresh dessert from here. Our favorite go to spot for fresh, yummy dessert.

    Diy Dessert Bowl
    Jessica H.

    I visited for the first time last month. I came specifically for the diy dessert bowl. This is a comparison from my first visit to my fourth visit. 1ST VISIT Service was questionable. They have a self order kiosk but I had questions as the menu had duplicate items in english but different in chinese and didnt know what some items were. The cashier stated she cant read chinese and couldn't really explain what the items were. Although she did clarify the osmanthus jelly came in cube or noodle shape. I ordered hot, coconut soup with osmanthus cubes jelly, oolong jelly, red bean, peach gum, and taro. Cons: Came cold which makes sense as the jelly would probably melt. Hot should be removed as an option. I wanted sweet soup or tremella soup but they don't actually ever have it. So I picked coconut soup, which was very watery and lacked flavor. Osmanthus jelly came is wrong shape, asked for cubes and got noodles. PROS: The options were all delicious even though the coconut soup was light in flavor. You can taste all the individual flavors, and still worked well as a whole. The jellies had perfect firmness. The dessert was so refreshing, filling and affordable. It was so good despite the cons. I couldn't leave a 3 star review knowing its potential. Fast forward 3 visits later! FOURTH VISIT The staff is much more knowledgeable. The menu still includes items that are not available. The dessert bowl ordered came as ordered. Cold, coconut soup with osmanthus cubes jelly, oolong jelly, red bean, peach gum, and taro. The coconut soup has improved, thicker and flavorful. I have ordered a few drinks here but I return every week for the DIY dessert bowl. I don't know any other local eatery offering varieties of tea jelly. Which are all tasty! Trust me, Ive tried them all. Highly recommend giving it a try.

    DIY Dessert Bowl
    Amy L.

    Came here for the first with a friend after lunch together. We were very full but of course we still decided to get dessert. We both decided on getting the DIY dessert bowl. You get to pick 5 (I think) toppings and a base. My friend picked her 5 topping with the coconut milk. I got small mochi balls, grass jelly, oolong jelly, lychee jelly, and fresh mango with a milk tea base. It tastes sooo good. I know everything else is pretty much pre-made but the we liked the milk tea base so much that we each bought another bottle of their HK milk tea. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Also the lady at the counter was very helpful. I couldn't finish my bowl and asked for for a lid. The lid doesn't quite fit so she offered to tape it up for me and she wrapped it all up nice and tight :D

    Inside setup
    Peggy P.

    HA Tea Handmade has many options to choose from with a variety of desserts, drinks, and snacks. Their fruit drinks are pretty sweet though, even if made at lower sugar percentages. The Grass Jelly Milk Tea at 50% sugar was very diluted however. The popcorn chicken is good and has a large portion. The service was quite fast, taking around 10-15 minutes. The inside is welcoming, with a good amount of seating and good cleanliness. Would recommend coming :)

    DIY Dessert - $7.5 - Whole milk, egg pudding, mochi balls, red bean, taro balls, boba
    Julia L.

    5 stars for the Dessert DIY: $7.50 for a DIY dessert - pick a base, hot or cold, and then 5 toppings. There are the standard beans (red, green), balls (boba, taro, mochi), jellies (pudding, herbal), and even more out there stuff (kit kats? oreo??). If you've been to Eastern Ice in Taiwan it gives those vibes. Portion is big too! This spot has rotated through at least 2 boba shops in the past so I hope HA Tea's a success.

    lychee dragonfruit smoothie
    Jasmine C.

    Got the lychee dragonfruit smoothie because it sounded refreshing. Got 50% sweetness. Added lychee jelly and I think it kinda overpowered the drink but it's ok. The cheese cream top was really good. Definitely want to come back and try the taro ball dessert bowls. The smell of popcorn chicken made my hungry. Parking can be limited during busy times.

One thing I do appreciate is that they frequently have BOGO promotions and anniversary specials. We happened to stop by without realizing they were celebrating their 7th anniversary, and they gave us a cute little figurine for free, which was a fun surprise.

I loved the display of figurines and merchandise, and their pink bunny mascot is all over the store, which adds a fun touch. That said, the shop itself could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. I noticed quite a bit of dust, along with drink splatters and stains on the walls.
