popcorn chicken

I ordered the popcorn chicken and it's $10 for a half full box? Absolutely ridiculous.

Mango Matcha and matcha bubble waffle
Julianna E.

I haven't had Happy Lemon in a while, but it never disappoints! I got the Mango Matcha and the Matcha Bubble Waffle. The Mango Matcha is my favorite drink here, and it was just as amazing as always. It's a subtly flavored matcha smoothie with pieces of mango. It wasn't too sweet and super delicious. The Matcha Bubble Waffle was also fantastic. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was quick. Overall, had a really great experience!

had come here during an "off" hour so it wasn't too crowded. service was quick and simple - ordered boba milk tea with spicy popcorn chicken and it was the same as anywhere else - glad they're consistent. little indoor seating but i'd prefer to grab my drink and walk around downtown.

We got the best seller green tea with salted cheese and boba milk tea with puff cream. Both were great except the salted cheese was sweet and not salted. Great location but parking maybe tricky

I lovvvve happy lemon I think it's the best boba on castro street! They do get crowded but there is a lot of seating. The egg waffles take a while but they're sooo good, last I checked they also give a generous amount of puff cream or salted cheese with the waffle. My faves drinks: Go to order: Salted cheese milk tea 50-75% sweet Other good orders: Matcha latte with tirimisu foam 50% sweet Matcha Mango smoothie Mango Milk tea with Orange and lychee jelly 50% sweet (this is really good) I had the genshin teapuccino recently. Would not reccomend - it's like a worse version of their regular milk tea but more watered down. Also if you're a regular here I reccomend getting the app!

I like happy lemon. Always same and good quality in this location. Just one thing is; they are very slow. But this is common at Tea Shops hahaha I don't know why :)

Love love love Happy Lemon!!! My usual order: Okinawa roasted milk tea (25% sugar) with boba never disappoints. Sweet enough, pleasant strong tea taste and the boba pearls here are delicious. My mom tired the new Vietnamese coffee (25% sugar) with puff cream and wow!!! Vietnamese coffee is usually too sweet for my liking so I loved that you can adjust it here and the puff cream adds an additional creaminess to it.

One of my favorite boba spots! Consistently great drinks and quick service across their many locations. Some of my favorites are: - Strawberry green tea - Mango matcha smoothie - Matcha latte w salted cheese (and their salted cheese drinks in general) - Over the summer I've had a berry smoothie with salted cheese which was so good! Hoping they make it an annual thing

D6. Ube Milk Tea With Taro Puff Cream and Boba
Laney C.

I got an ube milk tea with taro puff cream + boba and it didn't really taste super ube-y. It was still pretty sweet considering that I got less sugar. The boba was pretty chewy but overall this drink was just alright. The wait time was rather long (maybe 15 min?) considering that there was 1 person ahead of me.

Mango lemon slushie, ube milk tea with boba/creme and grapefruit lemon slushie.
Kurtis S.

Overall great 1st visit. Two out of our 3 drinks were a hit! I can say just from walking into the store you are greeted with a pleasant aroma of boba freshness! We each got different drinks; an ube boba (with creme), grapefruit lemon slushie and a mango lemon slushie. I've never had an ube milk tea with creme but it was a fun addition! My wife got a grapefruit lemon slushie which she said hit the spot on a warm summer day and my good friend with his mango lemon slushie said it was slightly sour but overall tasty. We will likely be back as we are new to the area and excited to find a boba spot that we enjoyed so much!

Popcorn chicken, Chili Spicy
Chrenzoe Christian B.

No question, this is HAPPY LEMON serving fried chicken. That thing is addicting, dangerously good, spicy and phenomenal. I had to order 3 more for the road! It was that good! I wish I had ordered 10 more! TAKE MY MONEY! One way to start a good service is their smiles. Great job Happy Lemon Team! We went on a non busy hour trying to pick up new stuff for my hamster. So I couldn't really get a rating on the ambiance. But overall, my experience at this Happy Lemon Spot is STUPENDOUS! I will definitely come back and try their other chicken flavors and other new drinks. Thanks!

Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea - Osmanthus Oolong tea series

Cute little spot for Taiwanese fruit tea. You order at the kiosk and pick up inside, super easy and…read moreefficient. There's no indoor seating, but Castro Street has plenty of tables and spots to sit right outside, which works perfectly. I ordered the sugar cane mountain tea and it was so refreshing, even on a cold winter night. Service was quick, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying their other drinks... although I might be stuck reordering the sugar cane for as long as it's in the menu because it's just that good.

This was my first visit to Yi Feng. I ordered an osmanthus oolong milk tea with sago for myself and…read morestrawberry milk with agar boba for my son. I don't finish a whole tea right away and generally start one either in my car or at home. I have to say that my milk tea was disappointing in every way. Though I ordered 50% sweetness as I do for all my milk teas, this was way too sweet. The sago was strangely soft, I've never experienced that before and don't know if that was a problem with the preparation or if it had been around for too long. The drink had very little tea flavor. They do have a sign at their pickup counter telling customers that if a drink is disappointing they will make it right but I was long gone so this wasn't an option for me today. I also had the other drink for my son and hoped that the verdict for his drink would be better. Good news, it was! I tasted it too and yes, they got it right. Also 50% sweetness and it was as we expected. My son graciously suggested that fruit drinks were their specialty and maybe this wasn't a good place to get tea drinks. The ordering at the kiosk was pretty easy and even though there was a steady stream of customers, my drinks were ready in about 10 minutes. The person giving the drinks to customers was pleasant with me for checking with her a few times even though I could have waited patiently for the text message i received when my drinks were ready. So there's good and bad. But a too sweet flavorless drink with mushy topping for the same price as my usual favorite milk tea elsewhere is a non-starter. Seems like this place might be fine for fruit drinks but I won't be back.

The food menu was also more extensive than I expected, making it a good spot if you're a little hungry too! Xiangxi Hot and Sour Rice Noodles You can choose the spice and sourness level, so I went with extra sour. I thought it would be small since it's listed as a side dish, but the portion was big lol. The peanuts added a really nice crunchy texture too! Changsha Stinky Tofu It was my first time trying stinky tofu, and wow...the smell was definitely strong and the flavor was super unique. I think it's one of those foods people either love or hate, but it's definitely worth trying at least once for the experience!

Tried a few different drinks here to see what they hype is about as I always see a lot of people…read morehere when driving by since it's near busy intersection. It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get. The lychee milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice was a 6.5 because you can barely taste the lychee, it was very faint and just tasted like a regular milk tea. The da hong pao milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice was also a 6.5 since it had a really strong herbal taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. The best one was definitely the ceylon cheese milk tea at 25% sugar. It was way more creamy and rich than the others so I'd give that a 6.9.
