    You pick what you want in your bowl at the self serve bar and then weigh your amount and pick a broth to cook your food in. The self serve bar isn't super extensive but it does have your basic ingredients. I tried the dongbei style soup in medium spice and the pork broth. The spicy broth was not bad and the pork broth tasted rich and almost milky! While eating, I noticed a rush of customers come in for drinks so I had to try. The worker recommended the dahongpao milk tea and the mango pomelo sago drink as their more popular drinks. The mango drink was yummy but the milk tea unfortunately tasted watered down. Service was okay but servers were really nice! I'm happy I tried this place but I'm not sure if I would come back.

    First time I've been back since their opening and that was before they started their malatang service! I came on a weekday dinner and they weren't busy so I had ample time to fill my bowl. A handful of options were pretty low on stock but luckily all the things I wanted were stocked up. They have pretty standard picks which makes it more palatable to anyone who's trying out malatang. I got the dongbei broth level 1 spice which was decently spicy for me. It's a more authentic Chinese malatang chili flavor as opposed to the sticky broth which is Korean style and heavier on sesame paste. I also tried their summer special Strawberry Coconut Milk which was amazing. Overall I really enjoyed the malatang and like how they also serve drinks!

    Really happy a malatang place opened up around this area! I like how fresh everything is, and I especially like their drinks (slush similar to heytea). The wait for the food is a bit long, but I think it's worth the wait.

    This spot has lots of seating and is self pick in toppings for hot pot. Really appreciate this style as you can select how much to put into your meal. I got myself a variety of toppings and tried the tomato soup based hotpot. I thought the broth was more on the sour and salty side, got zero spice, can see myself trying the pork broth with level 1 spice next time. Also got to try the grape green tea smoothie and it was really refreshing. Can't say the produce looked the most fresh on first glance but it was tasty nevertheless. Service was quick! Update: went back to try their sticky malatang and I really enjoyed it! I will say that if you go during a time when there are slightly more customers the produce will be fresh and stocked up very well. The sticky malatang at level one spice reminded me vaguely of the same spice level as shin ramen. The soup was rich and the sesame paste helped contrast with the malatang creating a spicy and creamy/nutty soup to enjoy.

    After eating lunch around the neighborhood, we decided to stop by Jiaocai Meow Tea on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entering, the layout of tables were setup to optimize for their soon-to-launch malatang. There were a handful of groups waiting for their drink order and the two workers seemed occupied with keeping up with the orders, which prompted me to order from their kiosk instead. After receiving the drinks, I pondered why they used this cup and lid for a milk tea that was cold. Perhaps it was due to ordering a small size instead of large but I wasn't able to appreciate the depth of color of the tea or see the boba pearls. Per recommendation from a friend, their 50% sweetness level is not very potent so I ordered 100% sweet and it was tasteful. The flavor of the milk tea was quite fragrant but the brown sugar boba lacked the consistency that I was hoping for. It had a slight crumbly texture when chewing.

    came back to give this place another shot and I'm glad I did. the craze died down so the experience is much more pleasant now. the flavor of the sticky style is sooo good. it's creamy, rich, and spicy, it's my go to broth here now. my only wish is if they had a less fatty and more tender beef option. the beef is pretty tough and most of it is just fat with a sliver of meat. if they improved their beef option, I would be coming here a dangerous amount.

    I have high hopes for this place! We came on the first weekend that they had their soft opening and ordered a mango green tea smoothie and peach oolong milk tea. Both were amazing. The tea flavors really shone through, which was surprising since I think its rare in smoothies. The boba was chewy and just the right level of sweetness. It did take a little under 30 minutes for both our drinks, but they are still new so I think the staff is still getting the hang of making them. They don't have malatang quite yet, but I'm so excited to come back and try it!!

    We went here for my friends birthday party, they charge for pound for the stuff you put in your hot pot, honestly feel like it's a scam, the bowl itself it's already half a pound. I put a baby octopus in mine and I was chewing that thing for days, I had to spit it out sadly. The broth is good and also the avocado boba was amazing.

    We have been here a couple of times now and this time they have the malatang option available so we decided to try it out. We got lucky and beat the rush as it filled up after we ordered. They have a simple selection of items to build your bowl with. I didn't see the sign that you need at least 1lb per each bowl and had to add more on the second bowl. We made a few bowls each with a different broth. I thought the Dongbei Old Style broth was flavorful, but slightly salty for me. The Sticky Style was decent and the Vegetarian broth was nice and clean. The salt and pepper chicken were a bit on the bland side. They do have great drinks, which gives it that added bonus. I recommend their drinks.

    I tried their Malatang with Dongbei old style soup base spicy level 1 & 2, and several flavors of milk teas. Ingredient selection - plenty Ingredient freshness - crisp and brisk Soup base Spiciness - spot on Milk tea flavors - good and with their own touches Milk tea sweetness - % matches what I wanted Environment - Modern Chinese food culture immersion, YYDS!

    Obsessed! I ordered avocado mango pomelo sago and mango pomelo sago, and they were AMAZING. The avocado adds such a smooth, creamy texture that blends perfectly with the sweet mango and slightly tangy pomelo. It's refreshing but still feels indulgent. The mango pomelo sago on its own was bright, fresh, and perfectly sweet, not overly sugary at all. Portions were generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. Highly recommend if you love fruity drinks with great texture!

    It was good enough but I had better. The selection was very limited. The soup base we got which was the pork base soup was kind of bland. We wished there an area to make dipping sauce or at least have something offered rather soy sauce and sriracha. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and explained the different soup base options which I really appreciate.

    Great little new hot pot spot. Service was quick and the flavors were great. I would agree about the feedback of the cooler case where you choose your proteins, noodles, and veggies: it was crowded and there was no natural flow, plus lots of stuff was out or nearly so. That being said, I think it's worth the trip!

    OCha Tea Corner is a really cute boba shop that offers a variety of tea and coffee drinks with…read morevarious toppings. I really enjoyed my ube coffee with sea salt foam and my partner enjoyed his fruit tea with grass jelly. It wasn't busy while we were there, but it looks like they get a fair number of Doordash/takeout orders. While seating is pretty available, there is foot traffic around the register and the barista is busy preparing drinks. The shop itself is clean and a nice place to hang out and enjoy your drink. If you're into collectables/trying your luck, there's also 16 Gashapon capsule vending machines near the counter. Overall, our drinks were tasty and we were happy with our visit. We will be back if we're in the area.

    I dropped in here for a quick helping of tea, as I felt like a refresher after some Dim Sum…read more Like most boba places it had a casual and chill vibe inside, and the cashier was trying to be helpful with any questions I had. I ended up ordering the Ice Green Tea with no sugar, just plain tea and ice. I don't know if there's cross contamination, or just being super over brewed, but the Jasmine Tea ( the green tea they use) was very very tart. I lean more toward tea quality for my boba drinks, so if you're like me, I wouldn't recommend this place if my visit is representative of their brewing capabilities. It looks like they have plenty of really sweet Milk Tea options for those who lean more toward that area though.
