    Popcorn Chicken
    Minh V.

    Love the food here. Popcorn Chicken with sauce is nice! Wait is around 5-10 minutes. They are nice guys that worked in the counter on Saturday.

    Happy Lemon is my favorite boba tea chain and their milk tea products are always tasty and reliable. We used to go to HL location in Cupertino all the time until it closed down. Unlike those milk tea chains in valley fair using non dairy creamer and charging extra for cow milk, HL keeps it simple and stupid by defaulting to real 100% whole milk. The products taste creamy and wholesome. Came to this shop in the area recently, liked my usual Jasmine Green milk with boba and service was good. Sitting there felt like an old friend coming home. I hope they continue to stay in business and not to be further squashed by competition.

    5 stars Great spot for a quick drink fix! The drinks are consistently fresh and well-made. Staff is friendly and the service moves fast, which I appreciate. The Fresh Lemon Green Tea is perfectly balanced and refreshing. Small space but it gets the job done. Will definitely be back!

    Happy Lemon is by far the best if not one of the best boba spots out there! This is our go to when in San Jose getting pho.

    Delicious food, scrumptious milk tea, excellent service. What else can be said? Five stars isn't enough!

    I've been a long time fan of Happy Lemon since first trying it back in 2018. I love their brewed tea with cheese foam & frequently bought it at various SoCal locations. So, would have same expectations in this San Jose branch Unfortunately, it was a let down. I got the classic black tea with cheese foam, but the tea quality was off. It tasted like they used a lower quality Lipton tea bag than the richer, loose-leaf brew I remember. I'm someone who appreciates a bold, well brewed tea, so I can usually tell when the flavor's not there or when cheaper tea is used. Also, I wasn't able to earn points for my purchase, even though I scanned the app before paying. The staff couldn't resolve it. Sadly, this experience doesn't reflect the Happy Lemon I used to enjoy, won't be coming back.

    For this Happy Lemon location, the service from the staff is amazing & they are all super nice and sweet. They have some indoor & outdoor seatings so if you'd like to hang around, you can~ They also offer some sweets & crispy snacks for their food/munchie options. Would definitely recommend for a quick treat or to hang out with some friends, the location is also within Vietnam Town.

    Cool experience I had at Happy Lemon. The service was very good and the two employees that had helped us were very friendly and nice. My strawberry green tea was prepared very fast and tasted pretty great. The strawberries inside were what topped it off. Both tasted very delicious. I will return again.

It makes me want to come back for more, specifically their BBQ Tater Tots. (I was pretty surprised that there wasn't much hype on here, Yelp. Along with there not being an option for it on DoorDash, so I really hope & wish that they could add it through online ordering). But besides that, their popcorn chicken & potstickers are delicious too! (They should definitely add the potstickers as an option on DoorDash as well! ) The drinks are very yummy too! You're able to adjust your sweetness level (30%, 60% and 100%), along with adjusting your ice levels (regular, less or none - with no additional charge). Their toppings are soft & easy to chew, really love their grass jelly topping here~ For my DoorDash experience, I have ordered drinks from here before, and as mentioned earlier, there was no option for their BBQ Tater Tots, which would have been nice to have. However, I would love to thank the staff there because I selected their Jalapeño Cheese Curly Fries before writing in the notes about wanting the Tots instead, along with paying additional bacon (just in case of the price difference), and they were very generous enough to call me immediately to confirm my choices. It was very efficient & it was very sweet of them to go out of their way to make sure.

I ordered the F10 iced matcha latte with less sugar (30%), and it was very refreshing and tasted great. The C2 California fresh fruit tea was also delicious, you can tell they use real fruit, which made it extra refreshing. I also tried the popcorn chicken, which was tasty and delicious. I gave the steak guacamole a try, and I thought it was just okay. Pros: - Great place to study or get work done, with plenty of seating and outlets. The space is open and roomy -Reasonably priced - Fast service ( speaks for itself) Cons: - The music inside is a bit loud, so I'd recommend bringing headphones or earplugs - Half the tables were dirty when I arrived - Parking in the plaza can be tricky, but if you hang around, someone usually leaves

    Yum!! I love fresh sugarcane juice, and I think this is the best spot for it. You can tell the…read morejuice is very fresh since they make it on the spot. My favorite is the kumquat sugarcane juice. The kumquat adds a bright, refreshing note that keeps it from being overly sweet with just a hint of sourness. We also tried the pure sugarcane juice to compare, and it was delicious too, though definitely much sweeter on its own. It does cost a bit more to get it without ice, but we opted for that since I cannot finish it in one sitting and it keeps better in the fridge this way. This spot is located inside a large food mall with plenty of other shops. Easy to grab and go, or there are tables available if you want to enjoy your drink there!

My all-time go-to is the OG sugarcane juice with kumquat... soooo refreshing, sweet with that little citrus kick, just hits every time. I also brought my bestie with me and it was her first time trying sugarcane juice ever, and she loves strawberry so I got her that flavor... tell me why she got OBSESSED. She literally finished the whole thing in 30 mins and was still talking about it 2 days later saying she was craving it again lol. Price is pretty average compared to other spots, nothing crazy, but the quality is always consistent and fresh which I appreciate.

I will say that the drinks are on the pricier side; everything her ranges from 6 to 8 dollars, even for the smaller-sizd drinks. This spot is a bit small, but it is well-lit and comfortable to sit in. It's clean and stylish inside, and orders are primarily taken through a standing tablet. It's relatively easy to find parking, even though the lot is somewhat busy, especially right after work. The drinks come out pretty quickly and taste really good, though even their "less sweet" options tend to err on the side of being too sweet. I am usually a bit suspect of matcha or hojicha served by places that mostly serve other boba drinks, but I have tried both the matcha and hojicha here, and I liked both. They don't serve food or snacks, which I don't mind! I would absolutely recommend this spot to others; it's a nice experience and their drinks (at least the ones I've tried) are solid.

My go-to order is the Strawberry Matcha with whole milk, less ice, less sweetness, and honey boba. The matcha has a rich, flavorful taste that pairs perfectly with the strawberry puree. The strawberry flavor is fresh and not overly sweet, creating a well-balanced drink that doesn't overpower the matcha. The honey boba adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture, making it my favorite combination. One of the best things about this shop is how fast the service is. Even when ordering in person, I'm usually able to get my drink and be on my way within minutes. The efficiency makes it an easy stop when I'm craving a quick drink. The interior is also a highlight. There's plenty of seating available for anyone looking to study, work, or simply catch up with friends. The space feels welcoming and cozy, with a cute aesthetic that makes it enjoyable to spend time in. Overall, this is a great boba shop with quality drinks, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, I would definitely recommend trying the Strawberry Matcha.
