Get these two things: Popcorn chicken, level 3 spice. Mango Lychee GT at recommended sweetness. You're welcome! I usually love Sweet Moment's popcorn chicken but lately I've been craving that familiar Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken flavor and this is has been hitting all the flavor points for me. May or may not have ordered 2 days in a row for lunch lmao. Can't speak to anything else hahaha. This really be all I get. read more

Honestly, Mr. Green Bubble doesn't disappoint. I really enjoy their fizzy drinks and heart bubble waffle usually, but this time I got the strawberry milk matcha creama drink and it was yummy! Would definitely order it again. Idk why it has to be default small size though read more

Boba is pretty good! I ordered the honey tea with boba but it was too sweet and they barely gave me any ice! I like how they have a kiosk to order too. Makes lines faster. Place was clean and lots of seating to sit inside! read more

Good boba spot tucked in the back of the shopping center. Solid drink options and a bunch of snacks to choose from. The popcorn chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the waffle is surprisingly good too. Great combo if you want something more than just a drink. Easy place to swing by for a quick treat or casual hangout. read more

We had group order today at the office trying new boba place. We had matcha latte, amber matcha , mango lychee and coffee coconut. We all have same comments lack of flavor in all our drinks. Matcha is very light can't taste the cream too,and the mango cannot even taste. We enjoyed the popcorn chicken but not the free waffle fries it overly fry so it's hard... read more

I was in the area. Usually if I am in the area, I would buy some drinks. This time I bought some snacks like popcorn chicken, eggette and the custard mini cake. I was in a hurry to go back home. I mentioned to the guy. I was missing the eggette. I could tell he was a bit flustered since he was the only 1 there and the line started to get long afterwards. I noticed your short of staff. I waited patiently. Everybody who ordered after me, they got their drinks.When I came home, I forgot the custard mini cake. But it was too late for me to drive back over there. read more

We ordered smoothies but there were chunks of ice, seems they are lazy to blenderize it till it's smooth! I ordered mango jelly as topping, but they put boba and mango jelly , and they filled it half way up the cup so I didn't get that much smoothie! Lazy and undedicated kids . read more

I walked around this plaza and stumbled across the sign to head towards this boba shop at the back of the plaza. Wanting a pick-me-up I scrolled through their easy to use kiosk and decided on getting an egg waffle for $6.50 and saw that I could add a drink for $3.50. I thought it was great that they would offer combos of snacks and drinks for $10! Their seating area was clean and there were enough spots to sit while waiting for the items to be completed. The staff were very friendly and quick to fulfill the orders as they got them. Once the items came out, they were immediately called. I got my egg waffle within 10 min and it was piping hot! The matcha egg waffle was alright as I feel the outside edges could've been crispier and there could have been a stronger matcha flavor. The taro milk tea was just as expected which was good. I wish the boba pearls could've been cooked a little longer as they were a little hard per my liking. Overall the service was good and the egg waffle and boba were fine. I don't think this location will be one that I frequent but it's not bad! Maybe I'll come to try their other snacks like the popcorn chicken that was also popular. read more

Submitted a snackpass order on monday to pickup right when they opened on wednesday at 11:15. Waited until 11:30 and still no one showed up to open the store or to make my drinks. The poor older lady in there only knew how to make the boba so she couldn't help. She told the me barista woke up late or something ridiculous (who the hell is late to an 11AM opening). I was already running late and promised these for the meeting. Had to doordash other drinks to the office which were way more expensive then I wanted. read more

5 stars for the popcorn chicken 3 stars for the milk tea The popcorn chicken is probably the best I've had in a long time. My family from the south bay will come all the way to this location just for their popcorn chicken! The milk tea is very average, didn't seem like anything too special. I do like that they offered a combo where you can get a small milk tea for an extra $1 with your popcorn chicken! read more

This place is a decent study spot, they have wifi and plenty of seats. Probably because it is a bit hidden in this shopping center. I'd have to say i can definitely taste the matcha in the uji matcha latte. However it is still very milky and I wish they used more matcha. The service was appropriate. read more

Tucked away in marina plaza is this boba shop. We ordered for pick up and it was ready within 15 minutes. They packaged our boba and popcorn chicken very nicely into a little brown bag. They also gave us extra spice powder and salt on the side after I asked. On to the goods! House milk tea boba 3.5/5 Solid milk tea boba. Could be stronger in tea flavor but not too sweet at 50%. The boba was soft and chewy and the perfect texture. Amber ice milk boba 1/5 This is WAY too sweet. Tastes like pure sugar water and doesn't help that the boba is also sweet. Unfortunately you can't control the sweetness so we will not be getting it again. Popcorn chicken 3.5/5 Solid popcorn chicken. Chicken was still juicy and loved being able to put extra spice and salt on it ourselves. The oil or chicken tastes not as fresh as it could be though however. Overall, I would come back and try other teas as it's convenient but I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place. read more

One of many Mr. Green Bubble stores in the chain, but this spot has a lot of good seating. One orders at Snackpass kiosks (or on the app) and the prices are fairly reasonable. I've had a few drinks where the tea is a little watered down, but I appreciate that it's not too sweet (although I always order at 25% sweetness). Their boba/pearls are consistently chewy and last, surprisingly overnight once. I also like that they use a non-dairy creamer. Fast experience and their basil popcorn chicken is also a gem. read more

If it's a warm day outside and I'm in the area, Mr. Green Bubble is my go to. They are located in a shopping plaza with so many other food temptations. However I put on my blinders and focus only on Mr. Green Bubble. What makes me so happy inside, is they offer milk substitutes! Hurray for us lactose intolerant folks. Now I am able to order a large variety of drinks. Can't say that I've ever had one I'm unhappy with. But I do have a warning, if you pick less ice, it's really that. I might swap back to regular ice next time. There is a bathroom located in the back for customers. To order, you simply walk up to the touch screen tablet and let out your creative flavor thoughts into the screen. Enjoy and thanks for supporting local businesses. read more

Restaurant is a bit far in the back so did not realize it was even there. Food is not bad. Ordered the fried tofu and popcorn chicken online. Did not check my boxes before I left with the take-out, and got home and realized that they had given me chicken wings instead of popcorn chicken. Tried to call the store to let them know that they had given us the wrong food, but phone number goes to a voicemail box that is full. Staff seemed inexperienced, so not surprised that the order was done incorrectly. read more

3.5/5 Matcha green milk tea 6.5/10 - where's the matcha? LOL - tastes like a jasmine milk tea - more milky than tea flavor Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea with Boba 7/10 - floral taste which is to be expected - the tea flavor just isn't there for me - more like osmanthus milk but honestly don't hate it - boba was nice and chewy At first we couldn't find the store but it's located behind the pho place! It's a hole in the back of all the restaurants. We ordered at a self serve kiosk at the entrance so I can't speak on the service. This place was okay but nothing impressive. If I really wanted boba and didn't want to drive anywhere else...I wouldn't be opposed to coming back hahahaah. PS: DONT USE THE HAND SANITIZER!! it is the most foul smelling alcohol scent that doesn't go away :( read more

ordered a matcha latte at the register and he put he down a mango matcha latte which was fine until a very rude young woman told me "next time if you want a matcha latte you should just order it right" and then they gave me the new matcha latte although i picked it up and then the lid exploded open over my hand. read more

This used to be my absolutely favorite boba spot when I moved to the Bay Area. However, I went there yesterday and they've limited the amount of topping I can add (mind you they are extra) and over all, my order of two of the same order were not made to be the same. One ended up having ingredients I did not even ask for. Won't be going out of my way anymore to find this place. read more

I got a standard milk tea and I ordered on their kiosk and they still ask me for a tip- when will the world get a break from that! Anyway, the boba was very good and the drink itself was good but my problem was the straw. It was one of those compostable straws that broke apart so then I couldnt finish all the boba but when I finished the drink I broke open the top and there was a whole clump stuck together which made me think it was old and almost not very boba appetizing but before that, I was very happy with my drink. read more

Visited Mr. Green Bubble since it was the only boba shop closest to me after having lunch at Shugetsu and because my friend had recommended it. The shop was clean and had lots of indoor seating options. You just need to order via the two kiosks they have, then pick up your drinks once they're ready. Since they were having a buy 1 get 1 free special, my friend and I went with the rose green tea with lychee jelly. We both happened to want the same drink, otherwise, the buy 1 get 1 free could be used for different drinks so long as they were part of the promo. The rose green tea was a bit sweeter than what I would like despite being at 25% sweet (which was their minimum). The rose flavor was very light/subtle too. They also advertised the drink as having lychee jelly, but our drinks didn't include it. The shop is tucked away in one of the corners of the plaza, but it is accessible both by the front and back of the parking lot. Parking is plentiful and shared with a grocery market, several restaurants, and stores. read more

We came by on a Sunday afternoon and the store was rather empty so we didn't have to wait to order and receive our drinks. It's pretty spacious inside with a few tables available to sit and has big windows for plenty of natural lighting. We ordered through kiosks and received our drinks after so there was almost no interaction with staff. The guy who handed our drinks to us was nice though. Drinks: 5/10 Momocha - Matcha + crème brûlée with regular sweetness. Expected this to be sweet but it was rather bland and very icy so after all the ice melted, the drink got even more bland and watery lol. Black milk tea with 75% sweetness - Bland. Couldn't taste black tea at all. Boyfriend felt like he was drinking an extremely watered down undetectable tea. read more

Mr. Green Bubble - Momocha Black Milk Tea - Taiwanese Near Me - San Mateo, California

Parking was highly accessible in this area. I thought it was strange when this place was quite empty. Entering inside, it was fairly clean. The smell of the waffles were pretty nice and you can find their variety of items in their electric kiosk. The servers were very nice and inviting. It was kind of hard to find this place because it is tucked in the back of the plaza. I thought it was in the front, but you have to go further closer to the Hampton Inn. It was hidden. The drink I ordered was Matcha Green Milk Tea. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience drinking this. Although I put the sugar percentage at 0%, I felt that it was still really sweet. It was hard to taste the matcha. It was rather watery and bland. After drinking that, I was in the bathroom for a bit, and not the best experience. I don't know if the milk was bad or anything, but it makes it hard for me to want to come back here again. While the service is fantastic, I believe the quality of the drink is poor. I also ordered the matcha waffles for my neighbor and I to share, and it was way too sweet. read more

Solid place for work and study. It's generally very quiet with small rushes throughout the day. Seating is nice and relatively clean, wifi is free. The popcorn chicken is some of the best I've had at any boba place, but I would say that the drinks are not quite as good. Still some solid menu items with reasonable prices, especially during happy hour. Service is quick; workers mostly mind their own business which I have no problem with. Overall would recommend :) read more

Came here while Allen was playing his match, and Jon and Cheryl were redeeming their boba for beating Andrew! 3 stars for the drinks, but a 4 star because the popcorn chicken was yummy! Parking was plentiful. Service was friendly and quick. You can also sit inside to chill. I generally like Mr. Green Bubble but I think it can be hit or miss based on the location. Overall, would I come here again? Sure, why not? But only if I'm in the area. I can't believe this is the first time I forgot to take a picture of the noms.... read more

This place is hidden behind a pho shop. They have a kiosk to order your drink, set the sweetness, and add other toppings to your drink. We ordered some lemonades for the kids who enjoyed it on a nice hot day and order a jasmine and an almond milk tea. From ease dropping g it sounded like the girl didn't know how to do 50% sweetness for lemonade. They have a tv on that plays music - American songs which was a bit surprising (Usher). The two folks were friendly but the machine I assumed would have added boba to my almond milk tee didn't have when i ordered and when I asked the guy he said I would be doubling up on boba when I didn't get any. I didn't want to fight it so got our drinks placed in a paper bag and left. For me my drink was okay, I thought it was a little pricey but it's a place at that complex if you need your boba fix. read more

Confusing if it's your first time there because the Mr. Green Bubble sign is on the front with the rest of the shops in the plaza but it's actually located in the back (formerly Super Cue). I tried the matcha green milk tea (4/5) and the honeydew green milk tea (4/5). For both drinks, we got 75% sweetness and less ice. Drinks were def more on the sweeter side so we could've gone with 50% instead. Also, the less ice melted quick so we decided to throw more ice in it when we got home. The boba was more on the softer side - I prefer it a bit more on the chewier side. Otherwise, drinks were pretty good. Would come back next time to check out their other drinks. read more

this is my go-to for popcorn chicken because they make it pretty good and it's reasonably priced as a snack compared to most places. However, I would say that you should not order their calamari. Giant giant pieces that are extremely chewy and gross. I don't know where they buy their squid from, that is so gross. I could not eat a single bite of it. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It had replaced the supercue boba and looked more chic on the inside and outside that I thought maybe the quality of food would be better too. I would say everything tasted pretty average. Which would have been ok if not for the amount everything cost. We got two bentos and two milk teas. Presentation was nice. The bentos were really great looking portions. Also loved how neat the rubber bands made the bentos look. But yea flavor wasn't really there. The braised beef in the braised beef bento ($14) was really rubbery. The breading was soggy. The flavor was decent but because the texture was off, it was hard to enjoy. The popcorn chicken in the popcorn chicken bento ($13) was ok. Flavor was good but the breading was a little soggy. Probably because of how insulated the bento was and maybe the moisture from the side veggies got to it. I'm sure getting the popcorn chicken on its own would've been delightful. Would not recommend getting it as part of the bento. The popcorn chicken is ($6) so I wish I would've gotten it on its own and save $7 on the bento. The sides aren't worth it in my opinion. The tea egg was ok. Flavor was good but texture was rubbery. Two of the sides were similar veggies just one had a sort of meat in it that was also just ok. It was nice that the rice came with furikake on it though. I don't recommend the bentos. Maybe they would be better as bowls? I like bentos for variety but the sides here didn't really offer that. The milk teas were average. My bf's taro milk tea came with boba and the boba was a little on the firm side which isn't our fav. The taro flavor tasted good tho. I liked the flavor of my oreo milk tea. Not a big deal, but I was also kind of looking forward to the nice cups I saw on other reviews lol. Not sure why ours were the sealed kinds :( read more

Does anyone else lean towards boba shops that offer snack options vs solely a boba spot and nothing else? You have the option of ordering via QR code inside or through an in-person cashier. You can even order via UberEats if you want to skip the line. Menu is pretty extensive with snack and drink options. I opted for their watermelon slushie with boba (refreshing, but needs sugar) and popcorn chicken with medium spice (pretty tasty!). Price wise - it's affordable. Parking is plentiful in the plaza. Watch out for the speed bumps if your car is lowered. Overall - 3.5 stars round up to a 4. read more

the popcorn chicken was not marinated. It only had the spice on the outside. It tasted kind of plain

Grand opening was on 5/30 and I just missed it by a day! Didnt realize this was a new spot until I visited today. I came specifically just for the popcorn chicken since that's what I was craving for. I've had their drinks at other locations and they're okay but their popcorn chicken is bomb! They have good portions, filled to the top and their chicken is pretty juicy. We got level 3 spice and it was a good balance of flavor and spiciness. Plenty of parking as it's in a plaza with other restaurants and markets. The wait was a bit long though. It seemed like they were understaffed since the cashier had to stop in between each customer to call out orders or assist the baristas in the back. Would recommend ordering online if lines are long. read more

My boys love the popcorn chicken here. Unfortunately I have to give a 1 Star for the service. We ordered from the kiosk which is perfectly fine. However one of my drinks was out of order. (Avocado smoothie) The cashier let me know and told me I'll get a refund. After a couple a days didn't see it posted on my bank account, however the boys wanted to go back for the popcorn chicken. I told the cashier my story and she gave me an email to send to management they'll handle it by that. Again that's fine, so I went home and emailed....email didn't work....Ive been calling since and the phone line doesn't even work. We don't live close by so it's not a place I can just drop by and ask again. read more

I like that they offer snacks and bento for convenience during lunch time. I had the fried pork chop bento which tasted great and was very filling. Many pieces of pork had some fatty bits, but overall flavor was delicious. Fried nicely and boneless. The rice was seasoned with some furikake. I love to eat taiwanese bentos which feature side dishes. The stewed egg could use more flavor but nonetheless was great for protein in the meal. Sauteed bok choy was nice and refreshing. I also enjoyed the stewed daikon and tofu side dish! Was pleasantly surprised. The daikon was tender and wonderful. The tofu was soft. Overall pretty good bento. The drink was not very great; kinda just average so-so. I had a dark roasted oolong milk tea and it tasted pretty basic, not very exciting or special. Easy to order on their clover website. read more

I live close by so I've been here a few times, honestly probably out of convenience. However, I finally decided to stop going here and to spend my money else where. One drink plus boba comes up to almost $10 since an automatic take out bag fee gets added to the price. I think it's because you can only order with the kiosk rather than with people. It's also because matcha is an extra cost and it's what I like to order at all boba places but here it tastes watered down so it's definitely not worth it. I feel like when this location first opened up, drinks were pretty good and seemed about average price, but now prices have only gone up, and quality has gone down. read more

They have the best boba drinks and snacks! You can customize your drinks and their boba I feel is consistently chewy, not hard in the center,not overly soft and has a good texture. Mr. Green bubble is reasonably priced. You can order ahead on snakpass app too. read more

Fresh flavor! I like the compostable cup and straw. Quick delivery too. I got the Green Tea with Strawberry and Honey Boba. Cheers!

My son absolutely loves Boba Milk Tea and we were buying him a Boba tea and a snack later in the night as a pick me up. We reached here around 7.10 pm and they were out of Boba but I really loved the experience because of the fabulous hostess Sasha - she walked me through the ordering process - took my customizations ( half sugar and split into two glasses) and also offered me mango pops to make up for the lack of boba in the milk tea. My son who had recently had the Boba tea from a couple other places declared this place his absolute favorite (and it's less than 1/2 a mile away from our house #ftw) read more
