I'm somewhat of a regular here. I will say that these last few days the service that they provide have been slow. My food took twice the wait time which I will say is unacceptable. The quality of drinks has also gone down from the boba being mushy and the machine that is provided for self ordering doesn't work anymore. read more

This is the cheapest place in Chinatown to get a Boba. Everyone else charges an arm and a leg. The staff was friendly and assisted me quickly (no pun intended). What I LOVE is that they have little snack offerings. So, if your looking to grab something quick this place has the variety you need. Parking is a little tough if your driving, walking is a breeze and easy access. read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Menu Board - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

Quickly - Kobe Bento has opened up for over a year now and it is a very decent location for a Quickly Milk Tea Shop. Today, I came in and ordered a cup of Honey Milk Tea which is now one of my favorite milk tea drinks. So I am definitely coming here again whenever in the Chinatown/Financial District and North Beach/Telegraph Hill area. Most of the food and beverage items on the menu are pretty much similar to some of the Quickly Milk Tea Shops I've been to. Similar to most other customers, my only complaint would be that this store is a bit smaller than usual. The Quickly Milk Tea Shop on Powell & Jackson Streets, 2) Kearny & Jackson Streets, 3) San Bruno Ave & Wayland St aren't very spacious! However, the Quickly Milk Tea Shop on Ocean Ave & Lee Ave, 2) Clement St between 4th Ave & 5th Ave, 3) Taraval St & 21st Ave are one of the most spacious Quickly Milk Tea Shops I've been to yet! There are Quickly Milk Tea Shops scattered in different locations throughout the Bay Area and Southern California! Quickly & Tea Way are one of the Milk Tea shops that satisfies my milk tea cravings. If you want to get some Taiwanese, Hong Kong & Fusion style snacks and beverage items, Quickly is the shop for this. PROS: Upstairs seating is available - this is one amenity you won't see at other dining establishments. CONS: CASH ONLY AND NO PUBLIC RESTROOM - I'M NOT TOO SURPRISED! read more

Located in a busier part of the SF Bay Area, I am very thankful this place is at a corner. I've had their boba twice now, once in 2013 and just this past week. It's delicious! They have a LOT of varieties. For example, I believe I ordered Tiger Tea in 2013 which is a mix of Thai tea and milk tea (total deliciousness!). Their prices are also spectacular. The total I spent for 2 drinks here is what I spend for one drink in Vegas. The only downside to this place is lack of seating. It definitely is meant to be quick, and it can get super crowded. Yet, if you are ever in or near Chinatown and need a sweet pick me up, THIS is the place to try. Also, they have daily specials! read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

Quickly is not necessarily my favorite place, but this place comes in clutch when you're looking for a quick, cheap snack. This is also one of the better Quickly branches that I've been to. I volunteer closeby and sometimes crave an egg puff or some fried mini octopus. I know plenty of others who come here for the popcorn chicken and taro milk tea. Come in with reasonable expectations and you'll be fine. read more

Good place for a quick bite and boba, so many choices to pick from, also food choices

The bubble waffle was just wow. One of the WORST bubble waffle I've had. I tried it in different Quickly shops and all the bubble waffle they served me failed at being bubble waffles. It was soggy and bad. The tapioca in the boba wasn't chewy either. The popcorn chicken was dry and it doesn't taste good. Make it better, I'll come back bc it's close. read more

I finally decided to come here for the very first time, eventhough it is in my neighborhood and have passed by it many times. I really enjoyed the freshly made egg rolls. There were 5 per order for only $4.99! That's a great deal! I need to come back here to try their Onion Rings and Musubi. read more

Cheap drinks taste so.good all drinks the guy.is very fliendly the only cont Is this quikly closed at 7pm

One of the best bubble tea places I've tried!! The staff was really nice too. My boyfriend and I went on Christmas evening for some sweets after dinner and it was fairly busy. Try the TJ milk tea! It's taro mixed with jasmine and super super yummy!! I dislike taro sometimes because it's too sweet but this was the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. read more

Coming from SoCal with the seemingly never ending boba shops popping up on every block, I suppose you could call me somewhat of a boba connoisseur. Especially for Quickly, because I made it a mission to try as many Quickly as possible-- each one has totally different vibes, from the atmosphere to even the food (my local Quickly has the best dark meat popcorn chicken ). I remember my first Quickly experience was in San Francisco (not this location though) and it was just the beginning of my boba journey. I actually came here last year and was stoked to find the snack menu was more than 2Xs the Quickly back home. Although I wanted to try something new this year, I was with my sister and I wanted her to also try the fried mini octopus I tried last year. Unfortunately, I did not order a drink because my sister and I had already bought boba at another Quickly yesterday, as well as that morning. I ordered the curry fish ball/tofu as well as the mini octopus. The curry was vaguely salty and did not taste like curry. Joke's on me though, I remember being disappointed eating it years ago. Also the batter on thee octopus was really salty but it's such a novelty/ I still liked it haha. Side note: The reason I came back to this locations was because of the nice service and the cute upstairs sitting area. However, there were a squad of I assume, high schoolers (co-Ed), vaping with a single tiny window cracked open. They stared us down while we tried to sit down. They were obviously trying to mark their territory, as they sat slumped in a seat, 1-2 people/table, leaving many empty seats available. However downstairs, there were only three stools available and a line out the door. Even if they were locals, they should learn to be more considerate. Customer service: meh/5 although LA is supposedly the top 5 cities in the U.S., I definitely didn't feel to welcome there. I take the partially the fault on that one though, since I was awkward. The people on staff were different than last time, but they were probably wanting to spend their weekend elsewhere. Also it's cool they play Kpop!! read more

I am not sure what does the Food & Drug Administration's presumption in relation to Quickly's popcorn chicken. And just like any Chinatown food joints, this is another food place for a quick and cheap bite. Thanks from my then-friends, now adversary, I just popped my cherry within the last few years when I was first introduced to the unhealthy fried snack. For $4.00 + tax, I get boneless chicken meat fried and battered into bitable pieces. I also liked Quickly's smoothies. My favorites are the Wild Berry smoothie and Peach smoothie, each for $3.50. The barista from the shop does a great job in making those drinks. But I have yet to try the other sides or Bento bowls, which are affordable too. Quick bites, cheap eats, you won't regret it. But your waist-line and love-handles will. read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Popcorn chicken and peach smoothie - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

Small corner shop, tight space, 4 counter seats. Ordered 2 drinks and popcorn chicken. The drinks came out fairly quick, but the chicken took some time, but you knew it was fresh when it gets handed to you, with some oil still dripping in the bag and all, from frying. The chicken was very crunchy, tender and juicy, we added spice to it for flavor. The Thai tea and jasmine milk tea was very well made. I would come back for it. 3 stars, because the customer service wasn't there. Also, we asked to refill the spice because it was empty, she took her sweet time...... we were waiting and there was another couple waiting on it as well. You can see that she just didn't care. In addition, they should take a second to just check their counters to clean and refill some of there stuff, there isn't a lot so I feel like the condiments/etc should be maintained. Enjoy! read more

Just like any other Quickly the drinks taste the same but the boba here is pretty chewy. I was served pretty fast unlike the one on Powell. This Quickly is pretty clean and I hope it stays clean unlike other store up the street where it is super dirty. The good thing about this Quickly is that it has plenty of seating upstairs with many TV's. The owner here is also super nice and friendly. I would rather come here than Teaway (Tuttimelon) Broadway as its cleaner. read more

Quickly morphing into japanese fast food? just marginally. the quickly mainstays are here: takoyaki, fried fish balls, bubble teas, milk teas, fried stuff. and the bento boxes (4) which i ignored. just a corner location. few tables. pour: iced coffee(.99) -actually not bad, kind of weak. -taste better than superior/farmers in coffee shops. drips: -cash only -single person on duty. read more

This Quickly eatery is located on the border of Chinatown and the financial district. Not only does it have plenty of bubble tea and other beverages to choose from, but it has some lunch to go. One bit of caution, the store doesn't accept credit cards below $8.00 purchase. Otherwise, I would have given this place 5 stars. read more

Watered down milk tea...and I don't like watered down milk tea.. Their milk teas are soooo cheap, $2.18 for the normal flavor milk teas, cold and WITH pearls. If you want hot milk tea or the non traditional milk teas flavors, you'll end up paying $3.25+. read more

Iced green tea w small tap, hold that milk, for $1.18. Four stars. If you got anything else... it's probably closer to 1-2 stars. read more

$1.00 for milk tea steal!! cash only. $1.50 for taro milk tea. Be clear on what you say I ordered taro and clearly said taro but didnt point clearly and she gave me green milk tea. I'm not a jerk and just paid for two more taros and came home with 5 milk teas. Good think its sealed so I could put it in my bag. I asked for no ice because I was bringing it home and she really made the drink short.. At $1.50 and $1 for milk tea I'll be back. Watch out long lines!! does anyone know if they do punch cards here. read more

So this location opened 6 days ago and I really wanted a free rubber ducky to add to my collection of Quickly duckies. Caveat, there is a whopping $8 minimum for a free rubber ducky! The grand opening specials are $.59 for iced green tea, $.99 for ice milk tea, $1.49 for taro and Thai milk tea. There is one other option for $.99 and two other options for $1.49 that I have forgotten. The seats downstairs are limited to 2-3 people and standing area for the lines is elbow to elbow and out the door in some cases. Upstairs seating, which closes at 10pm, has four small tables and +/- 10 chairs. There are outlets every 5 feet so feel free to bring your MacBook and utilize the free wi-fi. Some menu items are not available yet and the selection here is less than a typical Quickly than I am accustomed to. One of the highlights is the new concept that Quickly Enterprises is pushing: Kobe Bento. Bento bowls are $3.99 and bento boxes are $6.99. I really want to say avoid the boxes because the value is just poor, but I have had good experiences with rice bowls at the Quickly in the inner richmond district so go for that if you choose to eat rice. The first time I came here yesterday was around 4pm for a large taro milk tea $1.99+tax. I forgot to ask for no ice, darn. The service was superbly slow. One of my friends ordered the $.59 ice green tea and they lost his order or got confused in the making, strange since the drinks are already pre-made. My drink was fine though but I was disappointed it was not filled to the top, there was clearly a gap between the lid and the meniscus (ooh technical me). The second time was after dinner where a group of us got drinks and snacks. The popcorn chicken had big pieces which is great, I hope it stays that way. The wait was super long though and the owner's son came upstairs to ask if anyone ordered takoyaki but no one did. Courteous! The same thing happened when I went back to order a ice milk tea and no one responded to the takoyaki order, forgetful customers... I talked to the owner who took my milk tea order the second time I visited the store yesterday and he said that there will not be frozen yogurt at this location. "The building does not have enough power for it." Darn, this would be my alternative to the nasty frozen yogurt at the chinatown Tuttimelon. read more

Needed a light caffeine boost before going to work so I walked into this quickly advertising their grand opening specials. I walk up to the counter where a lady is sitting there watching TV "can I order a milk tea, no boba" She looks at me funny and calls a girl from the back to come out and take my order and make the drink. What is the point of running a quickly's if the simplest drink is a mystery coming out of my mouth? it was $1.08 give or take a penny, and it was terrible and watery and a little grainy. sigh. read more

*** Pit stop review (San Francisco) *** This is a decent place to stop to get boba after eating in Chinatown. The location is eye catching from the outside with the bright orange signs. It has a cutely designed interior with kids definitely in mind. My kids love the stuff so I have no complaints. I tried some of the passion fruit boba and it's ok. It's like any other sugary drink with the boba balls. It's like getting a dessert after a meal. The location is a convenient stop because it's right in between the restaurants and the parking structure down the hill. BTW, This is a cash only establishment. Food = The family enjoys it. Seating area = There is some clean seating upstairs. Service = Friendly Restroom = Unknown read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Little Boba joint in Chinatown SF. - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

The place is way too tiny of a place. The food isn't really that cheap considering all the options in Chinatown.

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

Quickly's is the epitome of 2 things- Quick & cheap boba. Hands down one of the most inexpensive boba places in the area, and though it's not a favorite, I still will occasionally come back if I want a cheap drink. This particular location was relatively tiny. Not much seating inside, aside from a few stools. Also for the most part, this location is CASH ONLY, which is kind of a peeve. Taro Milk Tea with baby boba pearls ($2.50) - My go to here, it's definitely very artificial and sweet, but I kind of like it. However this tasted even more artificial than some of its other locations I've been to. The baby boba pearls were also pretty nice and chewy, which I prefer over the standard size of boba. Overall the drink was okay, but tasted slightly more processed than some of their other locations. I also noticed this particular Quickly's has a nicer, larger variety of their topping range, so that's nice if you're into that. They also offer a variety of snacks like popcorn chicken and fried calamari, which I enjoy getting. Overall this particular Quickly's location gets a 3. I mean it's pretty standard boba & drinks, though the drinks lean more on the artificial side. But for such a low price point and because I already kinda like it for the most part, I'll be back if I ever need to snag a quick drink. read more

To the guy who said "overpriced": Um, the grand opening specials are still going on, and certain drinks are priced $0.59, $0.99, and $1.49. Chicken over rice bowl is $3.99. It's dirt cheap compared to a lot of other places. Now, if you wanted talk about quality, that's a different story. I feel like quality is inconsistent, but I'll give them the 4 stars because of how dirt cheap the drinks are. You really can't beat $0.99 iced milk tea -- I just bought another one on Monday, and my dentist couldn't believe it was so cheap, haha. read more

I really wanted some boba, so I left the office and went for a walk. I decided to stop at Quickly's; it's a franchise and I haven't been a fan of other locations, but I decided to give it a try. My regular green tea + boba was only $1.62!!!! I haven't tried the food, bu they have a pretty decent-sized menu. If you're in the area, it's a convenient stop in Chinatown and cheap! I'll come back again to try some food next time. CASH ONLY!!!! read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Green tea + boba! - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

Fairly small bubble tea place, with a 2nd floor where you can hang out after you buy a drink. Located near a busy intersection, so it's always full and there's simply not enough waitstaff! It takes them forever to make drinks, even though it's really just bubbletea and most of the work should be quick and simple (the store is called QUICKLY!) In any case, I got the lemon tea, and unlike other Quickly stores, it was actually very well made, with just the right amount of sweetness, unlike other Quickly stores where they Nuke the whole drink with crazy amounts of syrup. Kudos read more

Horrible Only worth ting was the Mango delight drink Food was awful, lady got order wrong, forgot the octopus, gave us two pork chops instead of one, forgot meatballs.......horrible experience. Dont waste your apetite read more

I can see why this place may average around a 3 star rating for some people based on the stigma of the company's name. However, if you ignore that for just a second, you'll realize that you're basically paying for what you get. You're not supposed to get the fanciest milk tea drink when you are only paying 2 dollars for it. Overall, I think the milk tea is ok. It's not the best I ever drank and it sometimes tastes a bit too sweet. But, the store is open till like 10 on weekdays and I think past midnight on weekends. It's enough to satisfy my Boba craving without paying the typical $4-$5 that most places are charging. I would like to mention that I once ordered a honeydew milk tea and it came out grey rather than green. Also, when you buy the popcorn chicken/fried octopus/etc, sometimes they filled it to the top of the bag and sometimes it's only half filled. So a bit of consistency would be nice. There's a upstairs that usually has some seating and the last I checked, they only accepted cash. But I saw a tip below that that might have changed based on a spending limit. read more

Quickly - Kobe Bento - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Francisco, California

This pearl milk tea joint on the corner in Chinatown is just another Quickly chain. I'm not a fan of the batter they use to fry their snacks compared to Qcup's fluffier version of popcorn chicken. The takoyaki is good, but doesn't have a lot of octupus inside given all the batter. The bento bowls are filled mostly with 4/5 rice. However, it is a deal to get the special boba tea with tapioca for $1.49 or the large version for 50 cents more. I love the tray of egg puffs that you can fill with almond, taro, coconut, green tea, chocolate and other flavors. It's a decent place for snacking during the day and night since they open late on the weekends. However, this area is tough for parking on the street. read more

I've been to Quickly before at the location by my house, so when I was craving a simple boba drink after dinner I decided to stop by this location. This location is oh so disappointing and dirty. The store is very small and cramped and only accepts cash. Despite the unattractiveness of this location, I decided to get a drink anyways and ordered a large lychee (or how Quickly spells it "litchi") milk tea with boba. The drink was extremely milky and had barely any tea. The boba tasted like it was premade hours before. I couldn't even finish my drink and decided to throw it away with 2/3 left. Will not be coming back. read more

This was so good!! I liked the drink so much and the chicken was pretty good too, I wasn't as much of the tofu fan but it was definitely still good, 9/10 recommend read more

I was waiting to get into another restaurant when I decided to drop by for a quick snack. I was very impressed. The boba tea was really good and all the snacks, popcorn chicken, takoyaki, etc are made on the spot and are very delicious. I have had a lot of more expensive fried chicken at different ramen bars lately, but their popcorn chicken beats them all in taste and texture. The boba in the boba tea is slightly squishy and not bouncy, but for the price, its pretty worth it. I brought some of the popcorn chicken home for my dad and he wanted me to bring some more home the next time I was in the neighborhood. read more

I can only comment on the green tea with boba that I ordered: it was good and it satisfied my craving for boba. The shop was small. They had three stools there, but then I realized they had an upstairs area and that made it better! My kids liked it up there as there was seating and outlets to recharge cell phones and a TV to watch . I ordered pot stickers and the popcorn chicken for my kids and we didn't have any leftovers. I didn't try any of it, but if my kids ate it up, then I can assume that they at least liked it. If I had lived in the area, I would come back here, definitely. It's a cute little place to have a drink/snack. read more

Perfect for your late night drunchies. It's next to Grasslands, a cozy little bar. Very convenient for your deep fried snacks. Their popcorn chicken order has quite a bit, and the pieces are more than a bite size. When they're not too busy, they would actually deliver your food/drink to Grasslands so you don't even have to wait at the store itself. I hardly order their drinks here, but considering how it's Quickly's, I wouldn't put too high of an expectation on their drinks. Just add a few bucks more for better boba drinks elsewhere, it's SF, there are plenty of places to choose from. read more

Limited seating here. Also for their milk teas they use this soy milk which I don't think is standard for Quickly (?), so if you're allergic to soy too bad! I got the standard milk tea. It was fine but agreed that the tea flavor in general is not that strong. The boba was nice and chewy though. Also it's cash only. read more
