    Blked Cookies & Cream and Seoul Thai Milk Tea
    Eva L.

    We came here for dessert and they were out of their Korean pear slush drink (bummer!) as I really wanted to try that drink. Instead, we opted for the Blked Cookies & Cream and Seoul Thai Milk Tea. The Cookies & Cream wasn't bad but I felt that both drinks were a bit too sweet for us. Maybe next time when we go, their Korean pear slush will be in stock as I really want to give that a try. Prices are reasonable, credit cards are accepted, and there's plenty of parking.

    The aesthetic is aestheticing. Came in around 6 for a quick sip while we decided what we wanted for dinner. My Strawberries & Crème was too sweet for me. It also had a strong caramel-like flavor that wasn't bad but I didn't expect. I love that they used real strawberries. My partners Seoul Thai Tea was so good I wish I had gotten that instead. Usually Thai tea is too sweet for me, but with Podong's version, the sweetness took a backseat to the tea flavor, which was super prominent and definitely the star of the show.

    I finally stopped by during business hours, it opens at 12! Also the parking situation was baffling. There are about 10 spots right in front of Podong, but each small business has 2 assigned spots and they also fill up quickly. I had to go further in and find an open spot in the Gold's Gym lot, and then walked for a minute. Two staff inside greeted me and answered my questions about the menu. I ultimately selected the Korean Pear Slush. In a warm and sunny day it was light and refreshing. It's an ice blended drink with pear juice, some pear puree, lemon juice, and a slice of lemon. There is no extra syrup, so the sweetness comes from the pear juice and puree. Sweetness was reasonable as made, though I could see it being 75% and still good. I asked about the l Blackened cookies and cream milk, which has black sesame and peanut powder inside for the 'blackened' aspect. I am interested to return and try that. The Taro Milk Tea is a misnomer, since it has not tea and is just a taro milk drink. Additionally the taro is from a powder, so I am likely to try other menu items before this.

    Mango Fruit Blast (pls ignore my anti nausea bracelet lol)
    Jaeden Y.

    Stopped by for a refreshing drink because the photos of the menu on Yelp had so many options that I wanted to try! Unfortunately, the menu totally changed since the photos that I looked at were taken. They seasonally change their menu!!! That being said I took forever trying to decide what I wanted, a lot of the fruity drinks were fruits that I didn't really like. But the server I had was so nice and helpful in offering me recommendations! Anyways, I went with the safe bet and got the Mango Fruit Blast which was a mango slushie kind of drink. It was a basic choice but it was actually so good! Very refreshing for a hot day and the mango flavor was there without being too sweet! Kind of pricey for a slushie kind of drink but nonetheless I enjoyed it and it was a large size. Overall, this place was pretty good and the aesthetic inside is very cool! I'd like to come back to try their peach and lychee drinks because they sound good. Hopefully, I stop by when they're back on the menu!

    Podong Milk Tea
    Lynn L.

    ORDER podong milk tea (3/5) -- 50% sweet, less ice, w/ boba if you're a fan of coffee, this will be the drink for you! unfortunately im not.. but this was basically a ceylon milk tea w/ coffee foam. 50% sweet was still a little sweet for me, so this drink is definitely on the sweeter side. the boba was nice and chewy. sac sac green grape (3/5) -- 75% sweet, less ice, w/ lychee jelly toooo sweet, it tasted like a hichew. i wouldn't get the drink unless you have a sweet tooth. peach lychee tea (3.5/5) -- w/ jasmine tea, less ice, w/ lychee jelly im not sure if it was because we replaced the ceylon tea w/ jasmine tea, but it was a little on the plainer side. definitely wasn't as sweet as the other drinks and paired perfectly with the lychee jelly. mango yakult blast (4/5) the best drink of the night! super refreshing and wasn't overly sweet. seoul taro milk tea (3/5) the taro flavor was strong, however, the drink was too sweet. id definitely get 25-50% sweet. in general, the drinks here are on the sweeter side, but sweetness can be adjusted in 25% increments. SERVICE (5/5) the cashier was soo nice! we were a big group, but she took our orders efficiently and was able to answer the questions we had. the drinks came out quickly. super welcoming environment :) AMBIANCE super cute interior with a photo booth inside

    Mr Clause Matcha, Chestnut Milk, Korean Pear Slush
    Hailey C.

    This aesthetic little boba spot is perfect for those seeking unique, Korean-inspired flavors. The shop is small with makeshift tables and chairs, giving it a casual, laid-back vibe. We tried the Mr. Clause Matcha, Chestnut Milk, and Korean Pear Slush -- all were creative and delicious, though they do run on the sweeter side. They offer seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try. If you're in the mood for something different, this place is worth a visit!

    Blked Cookies & Cream
    Cody P.

    This was an interesting experience since I've never had like korean flavors in milk tea before. I liked the tables set up with crates - that was cute. Service was also relatively fast. I really liked the Injeolmi and the korean pear teas. The Injeolmi has a roasted nutty flavor and the korean pear was nice and refreshing. The cookies and cream one was kinda weird though - I think it has peanuts or something in it because it tasted like peanuts and my boyfriend is slightly allergic and felt irritated. Other than that, it was a cute place. I might come back.

    Chestnut milk with Seoul rice cake
    Victoria C.

    I tried this place out because I was in the area and saw that this place has chestnut drink on the menu. There aren't many places that have chestnut drinks so I definitely wanted to try this and added the Seoul rice cake as the add in. On a weekday, it wasn't busy so my drink was made quickly. I loved the flavor and the Seoul rice cake which is just like mochi complimented it perfectly! The only downside is that it's pricey but then all boba drinks are around this place these days. I would definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

    We came around 6pm and it wasn't crowded! I love the vibes here and the music that they play. It's a pretty good spot to catch up with friends because the music wasn't playing too loud. My friend and I ordered the Korean pear slush and it was refreshing and not too sweet without having to adjust the sweetness level! However, my other friend ordered the green grape sparkling ade and she said it was on the sweeter side. Probs would be best to adjust the sweetness if you get that one. They also have a photo booth in here, which not a lot of boba places have!! 2 copies of photo strips can range from $8 & $10. Parking: might have to park a little far since it's in the same plaza as Gold's gym and most people are parking to go to the gym. But it's not too bad, I was able to find parking right away.

    I've always seen this place on TikTok or IG, so I'm surprised it's not as popular right now? I visited on a Monday night and it was not busy at all. The vibes here were really interesting, its street, but also vintage, and their logo is a turtle lol. Seeing the menu, they have very interesting flavors for a Korean boba shop! I was a bit skeptical at first and assumed that these would be extremely sweet drinks, but I went with a safe option as many people (according to Yelp) seemed to like the Jeju Hojicha Milk Tea. I also checked-in for a free topping so I got the injeolmi cream top, don't forget to check in! There seems to be only one worker who is the cashier and bartender, so be patient with your drinks! I got my drink then taking my first sip from top for the injeolmi, it's actually very subtle. I wish the injeolmi cream top was a lot more thicker, but it tasted just like a very thin layer. The flavor was good tho! Then trying the milk tea, it was actually a lot tastier than I expected! I really liked how earthy it tasted and the milk wasn't too heavy at all. I do wish I got it even less sweeter even though I got it at 50% sugar. The milk tea isn't that strong at all too. It still tasted pretty sweet to me, but will know for next time!

    Blueberry Yogurt Blast
    Ayden P.

    If you drink too much podong, you become podong podong! What I ordered: Blueberry Yogurt Blast ($6.95) Strawberry Milkis Tea ($6.45) Food: Blueberry Yogurt Blast was full of tart and sweet flavors! I would say the drink is more yogurt flavor forward than blueberry. I have tried the other yogurt blast flavors as well, but the blueberry one is my favorite :) The Strawberry Milkis Tea was good as well, but it didn't really stand out for me personally. Service: The service was quick and easy! The store had a photobooth inside, so we went ahead and took some photos. There's a currently a promotion where if you buy a drink, you can take a photo for free! Ambiance: Good number of seating inside. The interior design is cool and hip with tvs, posters, and merch. Parking is not a problem since it is inside a big plaza with a parking lot!

    Taroreo shake
    Lily Q.

    An interesting Korean drink shop with some streetwear influence and cool, concave mirrors for all your IG selfie needs. It's in a plaza shared with Gold's Gym so the parking lot is always full and I circled for 10 minutes before finally deciding to follow someone leaving the gym and taking their spot. The inside is quite small with only 3-4 tables that were all packed with students on their laptops when I went on a Wednesday night around 6:30pm. They have 1 table outside but it was also taken. There's not really any other seating in this area so unless you come at a very dead time, expect to take your order to go. I ordered the taroreo shake after consulting with the barista and it was very good. She told me it was made with powder, which initially made me hesitant, but I'm glad I tried it anyway since I really did enjoy it. It was on the pricier side at $6.45 but I suppose it counted as a premium drink. It's a cool-looking shop but after the headache with parking, I'm not sure I want to come back again.

    Jeju mango matcha, hojicha latte, and hanok
    Selene S.

    Was pretty empty inside when we came in. There is plenty of parking in this plaza where Gold Gym is. Ambiance is your typical boba shop with tables inside. They sell merch in one corner with a photo booth at the other corner. There is a gender neutral bathroom in the back for customers. Menu was pretty straightforward. We got: -Jeju Matchango ($6.45): basically mango matcha latte with a cream foam on top. It tastes mostly like mango with hardly a hint of matcha. No adjustments for sugar level (3/5) -Hanok ($6.45): matcha milk tea with injeolmi that had a cream foam on top. Tasted slightly different than your usual matcha milk tea but can't pinpoint the exact taste. The foam was pretty good. You can adjust the sugar level and it's base is oat milk (4/5) -Hojicha latte ($6.45): oat milk base and you can adjust the sugar level. Pretty good tea taste (5/5) They only have one size for the drinks. Staff was friendly and quick at making the drinks. The photo booth was the spotlight of this place as we really enjoyed the props inside- really felt like Korea! I would probably come back if I'm ever in the area.

I would definitely highly recommend visiting for fresh seafood and Asian foods. The place is pretty crowded and we did look out of place, but I didn't care. People were friendly and even if they had limited English they would try to communicate with us and help us. It is a pretty crowded space so be aware of that.
