    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Braised Beef Bento,

    I ordered the braised beef lunch box and it was good. The beef was tender and full of flavor and the vegetables were cooked just right with a nice crunch. Even the marinated egg had a rich taste. The whole meal felt warm and home-style, and the portion was satisfying. I would happily come back again.

    Taro Pudding Milk Tea and Mango Passion Smoothie

    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.

Tai Kee Wonton is located in a business area plaza off Lundy Avenue in San Jose. Parking is accessible in the medium sized parking lot. The Taiwanese restaurant has a counter where you can order food to go. There are plenty of tables and booths for dine in. The modern decor is family friendly, cozy, and welcoming. We ordered 2 small Taiwanese Wontons soups, a House special beef noodle soup, and a Taiwanese sandwich. Everything was authentic and delicious. The wontons soups were flavorful and warm. My beef noodle soup was hearty. The tender beef was scrumptious. The sandwich was different, something that I have never had before but I enjoyed it a lot. The pork meat filling was savory and tasty. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Tai Kee Wonton. The staff were friendly and accommodating. This restaurant appeared to be a local favorite in the area. I was glad we got to finally try this spot. The wontons lived up to the hype.

We got to try the Firecracker Fries, Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wontons, and the Traditional Beef Noodle Soup with thick noodles. The Firecracker Fries were definitely my favorite. Crispy outside, soft inside, flavorful with a little kick, and honestly addicting. The wontons were soft and packed with filling, although sweeter than spicy to me personally. The beef noodle soup was really comforting. Broth had a nice herbal flavor, noodles were chewy, and the beef was tender. The regular size was actually huge, enough for us to share and still have leftovers to bring home. Service was fast and friendly, we literally the last table there but they really took good care of us. Overall, really great experience and now I'm already craving those Firecracker Fries again.

It's crunchy but not too moist inside. Again, I had to mix the chili powder myself. Fried squid/calamari: 4/5 I would order just this one next time if I'm in the area. The squids was fresh and seasoned really well. I think this one I'm good without chili powder or extra seasoning to it.
