Love this place! My go to is honestly the basic milk tea but she makes it so well and gives so much boba it's the perfect sip every time. It's my go to when I just want a basic milk tea done right! Also have had popcorn chicken and that's awesome too. A good amount of chicken with basil. read more

Honestly, the food here is quite affordable. I normally get the popcorn chicken + jasmine milk tea combo, where it's $1 off for this combo. The popcorn chicken tastes pretty good for the price of it, which is around $10 with tax. That, I think, is a steal around Milpitas. The jasmine milk tea is quite generic. It could be a powder that they use for the milk tea or actual tea but I wouldn't know. Either way, it isn't that bad. Overall, the popcorn chicken is very good value and the milk tea is alright. read more

Great place for Taiwanese bento, popcorn chicken, and boba! I try to avoid the Milpitas High after school crowds, and always order extra to take home. read more

They were offering a BOGO on Doordash for a Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. My wife and I got one each. *Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea (3.5/5). We got less sweet and less ice. It was pretty good. The Boba was soft yet chewy. I liked it. read more

I have gone here several times for takeout orders, and I love the convenience. I attend a Bible study group in the area on Thursday nights, and this is my go-to place. The chicken cutlet, braised beef, and teriyaki chicken bento plates are delicious and quite affordable. I enjoy pairing my dinner with their Thai iced tea. Overall, this is a good place for inexpensive food and boba tea. read more

Simple foods. Very tiny retail spot with few tables/chairs. Taste here is 5/5 delicious and absolutely legit for convenient Taiwanese bento box options, fried snacks, other snacks, beverages, and more. Yes, I've had a few items and all of it was deliciously good, much better than expected. Self order at kiosk. Not too expensive. Beverage sizes are generous. Clean packing. Very good menu selections with photos. Small, but good place to grab and go. Cashier staff is always friendly and welcoming. She's quick and efficient, but there are times when orders can get queued and long wait times during rush hours. 5/5 Mango Milk Tea 5/5 Peach Smoothie w/Lychee Jelly 4/5 Coconut Fresh Milk (drink it fresh or else it tastes different the next day after refrigeration) 5/5 Fried Shrimp (wow, batter was not too thick or salty, so it's just the way I like it) 5/5 Popcorn Chicken 5/5 Teriyaki Chicken (this one surprised me because their teriyaki ingredient was very good tasting and chicken was soft/tender) Pretty good here. Parking lot is shared with gym folks and others, so it does get busy at times. Quiet around lunch hours. Small place feels quiet, low key, and never too crowded inside on weekdays. It's the perfect spot to swing by after the gym or while ordering pizza at Little Caesars. I would keep coming back if revisiting the neighborhood surrounding areas. Don't forget to check out their discounts or promotions prior to ordering. Positive feelings. Love this small place. Perfect for school aged children & young adults too. read more

Always enjoy this place! Drinks are super tasty. Everything tasted fresh, and there are lots of options to customize your drink. Staff is friendly, and my order came out pretty fast. The shop has a nice vibe too. Definitely one of my go-to spots for boba, and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Food: They're having a special on specific bento boxes. The fried fish and pork cutlet were tasty, and everything in the bento was seasoned, which is kind of rare. My brother and his girlfriend love their protein boba shakes. Service: self service: order on the touch screen then wait for them to call your number. Ambiance: quaint little clean shop. Definitely a mom and pop shop feeling. I haven't seen it get crowded, but I have seen a lot of people do take-out. tldr: fair priced bentos that taste good. They also have protein boba drinks (taro is the best). read more

Updated review, I'm willing to vouch honey express as a key location for Boba Milk Tea. I swung by here multiple times for a couple of key reasons. What looks like to be a small family joint is compensated for great value. The prices here are absolutely incredible. Every single item is affordable. To the point where it's relieving to know you aren't spending that much money? I'm always careful with places offering drinks at high prices, so honey express is superb for that. Added to this are the generous portion sizes. The drinks for example, have no small, medium, or large. Each drink comes in its own generous fairly larger size regardless of the requested ice level. No up charge for a bigger size? Super cool. Taste wise this joint is good, it's fairly better than the majority of locations around San Jose. It feels good to know you are aren't spending too much for great tasting items. read more

Close to our house, so great for a quick snack. It's solid, but nothing to write home about.

Great food, nice ambiance, good service. I definitely recommend trying them. A lot on the menu. Made fresh. read more

Great prices and super convenient ordering process! They have a kiosk to order which I like and they display pictures next to the item. You can order ahead of time for pickup since the fried foods tend to take more time to prepare. I love the variety of drinks and food they offer, highly recommend! read more

Soooo underrated. Next to another restaurant and a gym. Interesting location- but very suburban too I guess lol Keep coming back for the orange chicken bento box. It's ~$14 or so I believe and adequate portions meaning I usually can't finish it in one setting! You can order via Snackpass. I really like the regular milk tea (no boba) - it's kind of nostalgic. Reminds me of when you're in high school and there are mom and pop boba places that serve drinks at $4-5. Well here it's closer to $5.50 but still much lower compared to the franchises :)) Plus even when ordering with food, my orders are made super duper quickly. read more

About a 3.5/5 at the time, which I will round up only because of service + pricing. Otherwise boba wise they seem fairly average. Service/Workers 5/5 - it did take a while for our drinks to be made but she was carefully measuring out the ingredients which was nice. She also ensured that the seal on the lids was perfect as I'm sure all boba fans have had a leaky seal at least once. Its definitely not fun if you don't find out until you're sitting in a car and shaking it. Pricing 4/5 - They beat out most of their competitors with drinks averaging 5-6 which is great since the Bay is seeing 7-8 now with a lot of popular spots being franchised up here. Ambiance 3.5/5 - Kinda small quaint seating I guess. Small speaker hidden playing some pop music. Parking (?) - Seems ample but this plaza seems kinda sketchy at night time, although being next to a gym probably helps. Boba Milk Tea 3.5/5 - Definitely nothing special but at the same time not bad. Realistically it felt a bit overly milky but would come back if I'm in the area and craving boba. Boba was cooked fairly well and had flavor to it, and tea itself is a bit weak if it's even there. Lots of their food options seem extremely fairly priced and I do have to go try them out to see another time if they do deserve staying at a 4 instead of rounding down. read more

I'm so happy another boba place opened up near me! This boba place is also very accessible compared to other shops, as it is located in a plaza with plenty of parking that's not too busy. I love it when it's easy for me to get good boba! The shop is very peaceful and provides decent seating. The server here was attentive and prepared our drinks quite quickly, and this was during their first few days of opening as well. I have only been here once so far, but it looks like they have a wide variety of drink options on their menu. They also provide some snacks to eat as well. I got the mango milk tea, and it did not disappoint. The consistency was a bit thick for a milk tea and was more like a smoothie. However, the taste was so floral and amazing, and I would definitely come here again! read more

Absolute fan of their fruit tea's. I have tried a few different boba spots around the South Bay, but this was the best one I have gone to for fruit tea's. The food was not out of this world, but it was not bad either. I would rate their food as average to slightly above average. However, again the tea definitely brings Honey Express's rating up in my book. I always ordered ahead and there was never any issue in picking up my food or drinks. The service was quick and I was given everything I needed such as straws and utensils. Additionally, the workers were always very kind and made sure that I was getting everything I had ordered. A definite must try. read more

Honey Express is located in the Foothill Square plaza and have taken over where Sancha Bar was. Plenty of parking here, as it seems like a quieter plaza. Exterior and interior a bit simple, but they do have a cute cup logo. Ordering is through the kiosk or on the app - it was nearly empty when I visited, so I received my drink fairly quickly. I ordered their Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba. Decent drink, not as creamy as I would had liked it to be with a slight bitter aftertaste. Overall, price was fair, especially for the cup size and I like that they gave a good amount of boba. read more

For those on a shoestring budget look no further than at Honey Express Bento & Tea a Taiwanese boba cafe just opened last month with a diverse menu items at an afforded price far cheaper than its competitors. Came by on a Friday morning light traffic and ample parking. I was greeted very warmly by the young ladies and offer a wide selection of drinks, bento and rice bowl. You can placed your order by using a self service kiosk or by cash. For drinks I chose watermelon ice tea regular ice 30% sweetness large size cup for $5.75 and for meals minced pork rice bowl $9.99 and six pieces of takoyaki balls $7.75. I wouldn't mind having minced pork rice bowl again generous portion fresh veggies and a slice of egg. Best of all they have a promo 25% off on pork cutlets and fish sticks would definitely be back so support your local business. read more

Ordered DoorDash pick up and this lady locked her door and put up a sign that read "Too busy pause 1 hour sorry for that." They just opened at 11:30 am too and cannot get it together. Knocked on the door, so she could let me in. Been 45 mins and I'm still waiting for my food that was supposed to be done 30 mins ago. read more

Good value. They have a special right now where a few of their bento boxes are discounted. I managed to get a fried chicken cutlet bento for under $11. They also sell rice bowls, onigiri/masubi, street snacks, and milk tea/boba drinks. Their bowls and bentos (whether discounted or not) are reasonably priced. Service is friendly. This is a very small restaurant with a few tables. Located in a plaza next door to Burrito Express and Little Caesars. I ordered to-go due to the heat wave we're having in the Bay Area right now. Having the restaurant door propped open for cooling purposes means gnats and flies inside, which is my pet peeve. read more

Went to their grand opening and there was nobody inside. They replaced Sancha Bar, a place where I used to go in middle school years ago. There was one person working. We ordered the Boba Milk Tea because there was a BOGO promo. The boba was pretty good and the milk tea was very creamy. Haven't tried their other drinks yet but I will be back! read more

Over an hour waiting for 4 takeout Bentos. All came out different time. We had to remind the staff which ones are still missing. Food got cold. People canceled orders because they waited too long. Terrible customer service. We got "sorry, not enough staff in the back kitchen". Won't be back! read more

This is my one of my favorite tea and snack places in the area. I come here occasionally before or after going to the Gold's Gym next door (which I also recommend). Their tea actually tastes like tea rather than artificially flavored sugar water that many places sell nowadays. The food is decent for the price -- not fancy restaurant-quality but good konbini-quality food. The staff is quick and helpful with the service. I am always happy to come back. read more

I really enjoyed my recent visit to this cute bubble tea spot. The milk tea was perfectly balanced in tea flavor and sweetness. And their popcorn chicken is definitely one of the best I've tasted. It's crispy and juicy with just right amount of seasoning. Service is super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I liked the food here and it pretty amazing especially the chicken and boba also matcha

I've come here 3 times now and feel I can write an accurate review for the business. Popcorn chicken bento box is tasty and always freshly made with generous serving of chicken. The chicken is seasoned well and they also have pepper & chili pepper shakers if you want to spice things up. Boba milk tea has strong tea taste and not overly sweet. None of that watered down stuff! But I must say the winter melon oolong tea doesn't have any taste of tea, so that was a little disappointing. The wait for food for the most part isn't very long. There's a kiosk for you to place your order so interaction with staff is minimal. But when the order is ready, the staffs have been friendly and will sometimes deliver the bento box to your table, which I appreciate. There's a few tables inside for dine-in customers and usually it isn't crowded because it seems like most people either order to-go, or through Uber Eats. They have a good selection of food & drink offerings and I hope this small business is here to stay so I can visit every so often. read more

Food is good! Place is a bit small, more ideal for quicker eating sessions. Drinks range from mid to fine in my opinion but I think that is perfectly proper for this location as this specific store has alternated between mid boba places, perfect for the kids in the nearby schools who aren't too picky and just want a sweet treat. There aren't too many employees at once so the workers work very hard! Not a perfect place but good for what it is read more
