To be noted I had it a few hours after it was made,…read morebut reassembled it by toasting the bread and heating up the meat separately from the veggies. All together it was one of the best tasting and textured bites I've had. The bread was SO crisp on the outside yet soft and fluffy in the middle, and the pork was super flavorful. I love whatever marinade they use! I believe there was some sort of sauce / mayo inside too which added even more yumminess. I need to come back and try the classics banh mi next!

They were so kind and made it feel like we were pals. The tea was rich and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they made everything dairy free (my tummy likes to play roulette whether I'll get an upset tummy or not when drinking dairy) and the drinks were HUGE! 24oz was their "small" and was more than enough for me to enjoy both the night I got it and the next day. The boba was so perfectly soft and chewy and actually kept overnight! :o Finally, the location was a little confusing as I didn't know it was part of a food hall, but I'm excited to come back and try some of the restaurants running out of this space when I come back for tea!

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #111…read more Tab Milktea is an interesting boba shop located in a shared commissary. The entrance is located on SW Snoqualmie St. The exterior door leads to a small vestibule, where a wall of wireless doorbells greets the customer, each for one of the businesses in the building. The owner of Tab is highly responsive, coming out within seconds of the bell, and is super friendly. All milk teas are made with Lactose-free milk! Yes! Classic Milk Tea, Small 24oz, 35% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($10.35) - Very interesting flavor with this milk tea, clearly with SE Asian influences. It's somewhat malty, but the strongest flavor by far is that of vanilla, with a tiny bit of almond-like nuttiness. Kind of like a variation of a strong Thai Tea, but less smoky. It's certainly not what I was expecting, but is very pleasant to sip on and is extremely fragrant. The body on this drink is phenomenal. It's so viscous and luscious, it coats the entire mouth with a creamy film. Less ice is perfect for this drink - since they use crushed ice, it doesn't take up too much room so they can maximize the amount of drink in the cup. At 35% sweet, which is what the owner recommended for people who don't like drinks too sweet (I usually order 50% at most shops), the drink is on the sweeter end on what's tolerable. My guess is the boba I added contributes a lot to sweetness, and the amount of extra fat in the drink enhances the transfer of sugar to the tongue. I'd probably go with 25% or less in the future. The boba is fine - I probably wouldn't get it in the future. The pearls are sweetened, but are a little on the tough side, too firm for my liking. $1 per topping is quite high as well and in my opinion for the quality is definitely not worth the price. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 $10.35 before tax is by far the most I've every paid for boba. Is it worth the price? That's debatable. I'd say Tab Milktea does use high quality ingredients, has clean and interesting flavors, and has an owner who's a blast to be around. I understand their pricing is higher most likely lower volumes. It's a small business worth supporting, but isn't a place I'd go to regularly simply due to pricing. It's really difficult for me to justify a drink that's 50% more expensive than other high quality (but not top quality) boba shops. Not to mention that there are places around with similar high quality (e.g. high quality tea leaves, no powder, no syrups, premium ingredients) that are more affordable but unfortunately aren't small businesses.

The owner is friendly, and the seating is spaced out, allowing for good conversation. This is important when you are a hungry sniveling goblin with a loud chortle. Everything tastes correct, and fresh. I had a Vietnamese Ice Coffee that awakened ancient Goblin memories in my stinky heart. For patrons willing to go deeper than a pedestrian "Bahn Mi" or "Pho", try the Papaya Salad. It's refreshing and I recently learned uses young papaya so it doesn't taste as bitter. I enjoyed the horseradish they added to the aioli, but that may be too exotic for Goblins used to Pizza Bars and Casual Italian. For those that do enjoy the classics, they don't miss here.

I usually go to the Alki location but have been here. I get a tea blended which isn't on the menu but they have always happily made it for me. The kid working did not want to do it so I said okay I'll just go. He then said he'd make it. He barely put ice in and gave me a watery blended drink. It wasn't right. He insisted it was. I finally just returned the drink and left. It shouldn't ever be this difficult to get a drink. I'm really not difficult but it's not hard to blend a drink.
