My go to's are iced honey osmanthus oolong tea and iced honey green tea + taro balls, light sweetness and light ice. They're sooo refreshing and always hit the spot. If you get a non-milk drink, I *highly* recommend adding taro balls. For milk-based drinks, add boba, they're cooked to perfection. The workers are friendly and fast. Love this place :) The cons: one cup size (wish they offered a larger size) & on the pricier side

There are kids friendly drinks as well so the whole family can get something (Yakult drinks, slushes etc.). The boba is ok, the drinks are definitely better than the boba but still ok that I would get it if I wanted a drink from here. Make the boba better and it would be a perfect combination! There are tables so people can come and do work or study as well. The place is clean and drinks can be customized for sweetness and ice level. Weekly BOGO's for a drink each week so allows us to try a different drink and see if we like it.

Since it was my first time I was looking at the menu quite a long time but the cashier girl waited for us patiently. She also recommended on the sweetness of brown sugar boba milk to be less because boba is cooked in brown sugar. That was a nice advice. Thank you. I wish my assam was a little stronger. We just did a to go but it seems like a good place to chat with your friends.

FIRST visit: *…read moreFARE(S) feasted on: *** Jasmine tea (pure, no sugar) *** Matcha jasmine latte * FRIENDLY service: Yes * FRESH air seating outside? 1 table * FEATURES: 12 small tables inside lining wall & store-front window side; 1 bathroom inside * FAIR pricing: Yes * FEE processing: None. Kiosk or cashier ordering * FREE parking: Yes, only 4 car spots right in front (teeny lot), or open street parking on the sides * FYI: A bit chaotic on arrival - there seemed to be no distinct lines upon entering to place order and no large back-wall menu easily discernible while waiting. But basically: 1 line for kiosk ordering, 1 line for cashier ordering. Pickup area shares same long cashier counter and again, bit chaotic... they didn't call out order names either so you had to ask. Loud ambience with music. Visit was on late afternoon, weekend. Drinks were enjoyable. FOUR & 1/2 stars **** '

Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

I'm not sure if the people working that day were new, but that was kind of the vibe I got based on my experience. I ordered a Osmathus Rice Mochi Frost using the tablet near the counter, and then sat down to wait for my order. Quite some time passed, and I noticed people that came after me were getting their orders. I went up to the counter to ask about mine, and the worker seemed confused and said it'll be a moment. I sat back down, and shortly after got a notification that the table I was waiting for at a nearby restaurant was ready. I went back to the counter to check on my order, and that's when one of the staff members told me that it'll be 10 more minutes because they ran out of something. At that point I told them I needed to leave, and they offered to make me another drink. I said ok, whatever you can make fast - so they whipped up a osmanthus rice milk tea pretty quickly. The drink itself was surprisingly good! Smooth, flavorful and fragrant, and the little bits of rice added a pleasant texture to the drink. It was a bit too sweet for my liking because they made it at 100%, I would choose 50% next time. Overall I'd consider trying a different Ben Gong location in the future because the drink itself was worth getting again. The service here was definitely lacking though.

Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and tasty drinks. I'll definitely be back to try more items.
