Had been coming to china town since I was a kid love this spot and I come by relatively when I'm nearby the classics here are the best and [[HIGHLIGHT]]also love the new look of the spot[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] :)) read more

We ALMOST did not get to enjoy this place because of the 25 minute roundabout parking situation. We went up and down streets, trying to find any type of parking and it was impossible! We were just about to give it a rest when we finally found someone leaving. Please, for the love of God, SEATTLE, FIX THE PARKING SITUATION!!!! The drinks were great because you got a choice of dairy free options! The food was good too! The sweet potato fries needed more salt, but was good. Definitely would love to come back but the parking situation will deter us away. Sad, we have to pass up small businesses because searching for parking for almost 30 minutes is unbearable.... read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. My dad used to take us to Oasis all the time when we were younger to get bubble teas. It's one of those places that's been around forever for as long as I can remember in Chinatown. My siblings and I are older now, out of college, and working jobs and my dad, well he's aged. He can't drive anymore but still insists on taking our bubble tea order (it'll rotate but usually it's a green apple slush for my brother and a jasmine milk tea for my sister and I) and he'll bus down there and pick up these drinks for us. Mind you, he's old and hard of hearing and maybe not seeing so well, but he really enjoys the nostalgia of going to Oasis and getting bubble tea for his kids. My dad is a long time customer of Oasis and I know the staff treat him nice there, despite his limited English and (sometimes) disheveled appearance, with his flimsy paper and his kid's drink orders written down. So thank you so much to Oasis and all the staffing there for helping him take the order. As for the quality of Oasis drinks and food items. They've all been very consistent to my knowledge. Throughout the years, more and more new bubble tea shops have popped up. Oasis menu has grown and there is a huge selection. Drinks can be a hit or miss depending on preference but I have a few favorites I truly enjoy there. I really like their Thai milk tea, jasmine milk tea (at 50% sugar) because it can be a tad sweet, fruity pebbles shake is bomb, and recently I've tried a strawberry real fruit juice, that taste absolutely amazing! I expected it to be super sweet, but surprisingly, it was light and refreshing, not too sweet, and there were little bits of strawberry seeds like real bits of strawberry was blended in. Also, you can never go wrong with their popcorn chicken. It's totally a staple. Anyways, I highly recommend Oasis to everyone, it's a great place, awesome staff, and usually open later hours than most bubble tea places. If you're in the area, give them a try. There's a stereotype that they cater to teenagers and while that might be true, they've also got a very committed, loving dad as a customer, who loves going there to buy drinks for his now (adult) kids. read more

The person who helped me was so rude. I ordered food ahead and it wasn't ready. He told me that he couldn't make it any sooner, which is understandable, but the way he told me was demeaning. He said, "well we can't make food without a ticket!" I said I'm not asking you to I understand. I was only asking if it was possible and a simply I'm sorry, no would have been sufficient. read more

Stopped in to grab a couple of drinks. I got a red bean purée drink and a mango fruit smoothie w boba. When I got the drink the purée drink was mostly milk and the mango smoothie was just ok. Not sure I'd come back again. read more

Oasis is a nostalgic place to visit. There's plenty of seating and plenty of games to select from and keep you occupied. Drinks are always standard, never really disappoints because you know what you'll get. read more

Typical bubble tea spots. LOTS of options and lots of seating. Could be a cool place for younger kids. I got a lavender milk tea with boba and it was perfectly sweet and the boba was really soft! Nothing too special though compared to more authentic options in the surrounding area. read more

Glad this is still around with Covid and all. It's definitely a go to hang out spot for many. They have an extensive selection when it comes to bubble tea which I like. They had board games to play and they open really late!! They also have food here that you can order and it's pretty decent. read more

Was craving bubble tea and this location was closest to us after lunch in Chinatown. There was a good variety of flavors. Kind of overwhelming. The toppings were handwritten at the register which wasn't appealing to the eye. Which is odd because they have fancy screens for flavor menu. I ordered a thai milk tea with grass jelly. Grass jelly wasn't too soft and didn't taste fresh. I've had better from other boba places. It had a good thai tea flavor but nothing special about it. read more

Came by after a Seahawks game so that we could cheer up. Cheered our spirits up, but what bothers me the most when drinking bubble tea is having stale boba and this place sadly has it. The drink i ordered was a Milk Tea with a regular boba topping. They give you a ton of boba, more than any other place i have had,, so they are a plus on that. Tastes like regular milk tea. Nothing too terrible or too special about it. Some added notes: on a Thursday night after a Seahawks game, it was packed. Parking was easy though since most people were just walking from the game. Decent amount of tables in store. It takes about 15 minutes for your drink to be done, so not too long of a wait. On hot days and nights, they provide you free refillable cups of water only if you purchase a drink. There are also board games available for if you want to stay, chat, and hang out. Overall, i will still come back. Just will stay away from ordering a boba topping with my drink. read more

Oasis isn't my favorriteeee bubble tea spot but it's decent! They have so many options but I find that most of the milk teas are too sweet and too artificially flavored. I didn't know there are options to lessen the sweetness levels but I'll have to give that a try next time. I used to come here so much in my teenage years lol just hanging out in the city getting bubble tea. So I'll always have a little soft spot in my heart for oasis hehe. Got the winter melon milk tea this time and it was great! But i could only have like 1/4 of the drink cause it was way toooo sweet haha. Still, love the vibes and love the music they play read more

I feel it's fairly silly to review an Iconic Seattle business... So let me just review the chicken. Popcorn Chicken: 1 order should feed 2 moderately hungry people, so satiate one hungry person. The breading is corn meal like and the spicy variant is more "mild" than "hot". If you're looking for popcorn chicken - this is a good place to be. The boba... well; it's iconic! read more

If you need your boba fix at night, this is your place! Came with friends last night at 11pm, bought boba and popcorn chicken. Oasis is filled with people always, as its in the heart of China town. We got Taro, Brown sugar and Mango boba. They have games lying around so we hung around to play Jenga and Uno. read more

The location was well maintained with social distance stickers/signs and most of the seating moved away. All the staff I saw wore masks and there were a few standing tables available. I ordered a mango milk tea boba tea with black tapioca pearls and the consistency was ultimately poor. It separated after sitting for 10 minutes before I was ready to drink it and does not look appetizing. Their staff must not have prepared the milk tea base correctly. When shaken up it looks ok, and tastes decent mango with a few mango shreds with the tapioca pearl. The pearls themselves were too chewy and a little goopy. Wouldn't go back since tea shouldn't separate like this and the pearls are too soft. read more

After a hot meal in nearby Chinatown, it was only natural for my friend and I to venture into an oasis... a boba oasis at least! This rather large boba shop seems to attract a lot of high schoolers/undergrads to study and hang out on a chilly Fall evening. They offer a huge variety of drinks from all kinds of teas to foamy beverages, and Taiwanese snacks to compliment. Based on the Mango Milk Tea that I ordered, they rely too heavily on syrups and powders than using actual ingredients. It's fine then for a boba chain to use these to prepare their drinks, and thus Oasis also gets an average rating from me. Nothing about the drink necessarily wowed me but I didn't necessarily hate it either. Although the boba ended up being a lot harder than what I prefer. For a $5 drink, you get decent boba and a cool vibe inside. If it's the only thing open in the area, I'd be down to come back, but otherwise I'll look for another shop to get my boba fixing. read more

I ordered mango slush but thought it was way too sweet and unfortunately the drink melted super fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Long lines at night since they're one of the few places that open late but service was fast and we were able to grab tables for our big group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lavender milk tea with boba was wonderful! This place just takes forever - don't come here if you're in a rush!

All about that BOBA life? Oasis Tea in the International District has got you covered. Offering one of the most extensive menus, I've ever seen at a bubble tea cafe, there are juices, smoothies, snows, and various blends for you to enjoy. In addition to the base of the drinks, there are boba bubbles, puddings, and toppings galore. There is also a ton of seating and seems like a fun hang out spot for people to come and catch up as well as play games. The drink I ordered that was really good and actually came with real fruit was a peach snow (snow is like a milk shaved ice) with egg pudding and bubbles. Nice to see you can get a bubble tea that isn't mega sweet and comes with actual real fruit flavorings. Price is right around what you would expect at $5-$6 for a large with toppings. Not too shabby, will be back. read more

I ordered their lavender milk tea bubble tea. I understand lavender flavored milk tea is kind of subtle but you should still be able to taste it. Oasis's lavender milk tea has zero lavender flavor. I was disappointed since I've liked their other bubble teas before. Initial sip was super sweet and that might have been the lavender syrup, but other than that two or three sips, it tasted like regular milk tea. Skip this flavor. The vibe of this place is low key and chill. Pretty big location with plenty of seating. It's right in Chinatown. read more

The place itself is cool, but nothing is cleaned throughout the whole day, everything is high-key filthy. It's understandable when it's busy, but when tables and floors are sticky, with food and trash everywhere through the whole day, it becomes a spot where you can't even sit. Out of the 5 drinks me and my friends got, only 1 was good (coconut milk tea). Everything else was not good. Smoothies taste like straight powder. Puree tastes like water nectar drinks are just straight sourness. There's no flavor in anything except the milk tea. I wouldn't recommend going here unless you're just getting a milk tea. Waits are 20-30 minutes (small rush). read more

Oasis is a boba shop with snacks, like the spicy popcorn chicken and fries. The chicken and fries were made to order, so they were hot and delicious . I ordered the green tea with passion fruit and boba , which was good. It was flavorful and the boba was fresh. For a drink and a snack, I would recommend oasis. It isn't fancy, but a nice place for popcorn chicken, fries and a drink. read more

The popcorn chicken here is pretty good, as for as the bubble tea it's ok. More American style drinks than authentic bubble tea from Taiwan. The environment here is pretty cool they have a couple pinball machine for you to play. There's lounge seats so it's very friendly friend place to go to hang out. Service is decent I wouldn't say the best but it's not bad or rude either. read more

Bubba tea is bubble tea!! But their spicy fried chicken sandwich/ life changing!! I've been here several times through out the year. This was one of the original bubble tea spots in Chinatown before plethora of tea shops popped up. It's always busy, big, dark and just long lines. It was also a great spot during college days when you're underage too. I get to come get bubble tea on a Saturday nights the and pretend to be a grown up! Wooo! Well! It was always a ok. Nothing mind blowing or a must have except they open really late. And they have board game. But now! I've got to try their food thanks for china town food walk event. Their spicy fried chicken sandwich was all that and a bag of chips. Worth that half hour wait: worth eating breaded chicken inside a bun! It was amazing. Must be the spice! Must be the fried chicken. But it was totally amazing. And the only place I can think of that has such a delicious spicy chicken sandwich! Granted I haven't had many. But this was amazing. read more

Quick, consistent and delicious! This is my go-to spot in Chinatown for bubble tea, and they have a punch card (which is valid at other Oasis locations too). I normally order the coffee milk tea, which isn't anything unique or super special, but it has a strong coffee and tea flavor without either being overpowering. I also like to order the popcorn chicken occasionally. Sauces are offered, but the chicken itself is seasoned really well and plenty flavorful on its own. Oasis recently added self-order "kiosks", which I'm not a fan of. They're kind of awkward to use, especially when a human is standing there, available to help but really just waiting for your drink order to be sent through the computer. read more

Best popcorn chicken. Yeah, I said it. 100% recommend, even though they're known for their Boba, get the chicken too. It's fried to perfection and seasoned with salt and black pepper. The pepper alone makes me sweat, but they do have a spicy sauce that goes with it and I imagine I'd need milk to put that fire out. They have a huge Boba menu, it can be overwhelming. My daughter likes the nectar with popping Boba and it's refreshing. I prefer slushy with tapioca balls myself, but I'm sure there isn't anything bad on the menu. I've been in with friends and my daughter, mostly at night and mostly during ID celebrations / Night Markets. It's a cool hang-out spot (am I aging myself by calling it that lol). Night time is their popular time (there is a neon sign that says "OG late night BOBA, as evidence) and it can get chaotic. I've never had to wait too long for orders, but it's not a quick in and out at night. Today is the first day I've come in with my daughter during lunch and it's almost empty, which is nice. They've removed some of the high top seating and added a couple of the booths in the back. Idk if it accommodates more people this way or less for seating. Anyway, there's so many different layers to this place, food, boba, games. A fun place with surprisingly good food! read more

Oasis is a great spot for a quick bubble tea when you're in Chinatown :) I love its proximity to the stadiums, the shops, and the restaurants in CID! It's super convenient and I also think Oasis has great value for their boba. My favorite is their lychee tea, but I'd suggest getting it with green tea rather than black tea. I definitely will be coming back for more quality tea at a low price point! read more

Coming from someone that drinks high quality boba often and loves it, the boba is not good. The snacks taste pretty standard. We saw the long line outside and wanted to try it out. We ordered Oolong milk tea, almond milk tea, chicken strips w/ fries, and popcorn chicken for about $27. Oolong milk tea and almond milk tea taste very bland and watery. We could barely taste the flavor and tasted like muddy water. It was probably only enough flavor for a 4oz drink (compared to drink being around 16oz). We both took a few sips and ended up not finishing it. The snacks taste pretty standard. Chicken strips with fries comes with 3 pieces of chicken, fries, and 2 sauces. Popcorn chicken also comes with 2 sauces. Portion size for the snacks are really good and shareable. The inside looks really nice. The have a lot of tables, some games like pinball machine. read more

Ambience. C Service. B Drinks/ food. B Price. B In middle of Chinatown. Found across street from uwajimaya grocery store. Due to Covid. Partial seating. Masks are worn by staff. Can get crowded.

A bubble tea shop I grew up with growing up in the Seattle area so I've seen it at it's height when I was in middle school/high school/college - sadly the quality has gone down over the years. Visited recently on a weekday evening and went over to the counter and no one was there. They were all huddled by the tea machines not really doing much. They caught my eye but said nothing to me not even a "we will be right with you" After 10 mins they finally took my order. The drinks are not authentic they use powders and syrup unless you get something labeled fresh fruit. More a fruity vibe then tea vibe here. The bubble waffle was good though so props to that! The waffle actually took shorter than the drinks which the backlog was super long for it even though the store was relatively not busy at all. My raspberry milk tea was good though despite wait and more artificial flavor but it depends on what you like! I would recommend to oasis to improve their customer service to patrons and work on speed of orders especially when it's not busy. 10 min wait for a boba and a wait for giving an order is excessive in a non busy time! read more

Daniel H Wilson is a Portland writer of science fiction. He has a PhD from CMU in robotics. Now he writes novels and film scripts about artificial intelligence and androids. One of his early books is "Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived." It's a light hearted look at which science fiction visions have been realized as of 2007. Well, Oasis Tea Zone has that jetpack, in the form of a wall size relief mural, much made from old toys and brightly painted in florescent tones! It's the work of @electriccoffin, artists who do a lot of interiors and pop-y sculpture. They have bubble tea and straight up hot and cold classic tea. I don't do bubble tea, so I've no idea how Oasis does in that area. I had the oolong, iced, my standby. This particular oolong had a woody roasted character. I usually prefer the round or metallic green oolongs, but this was fine in its style. I had it iced, and it was the right concentration. The spot by SCCC and open relatively late had some people studying, as well as club-goers chatting and preparing for their South Capitol Hill evening. The staff was pleasant and prompt. The decor is painted out white and modern. This spot is a fun visit. And if we had those jetpacks, we wouldn't have to be worried about the fierce parking in that area! Jetpacks would open an entirely new business opportunity: jetpack parking! read more

Tried friend's wintermelon tea with pudding, and it was way too sweet for me. Other friend got a strawberry milk smoothie, and it looked kind of sad and melty.

Lots of options and variety on the menu here, so there's something for everyone. read more

The milk tea tastes great!! My friend constantly said this place was really good and wishes the location on capital hill was still open. I personally liked that the tapioca was soft and the drinks had really great flavor!! I have a dairy allergy and to have alternative milks is great!
