Strawberry Banana Smoothie (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The smoothie was delicious with a good blend! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There were a few indoor tables! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small! Note: There is a 50 cents charge for each credit card transactions less than $20! Photo: Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Taro milk tea

Great hidden establishment in Chinatown. Customer service was great and they had our order ready in a reasonable amount of time. The food is made to order and was fresh. It did not taste as it's been sitting under a heater for hours. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. I will be coming back when I'm need of a cold drink.

The milk tea here leans way more on the sweet/artificial side, but it's a nostalgic boba spot for me. A nice refresher if you need a sweet drink while exploring Chinatown. More affordable than other boba spots.

Popcorn chicken Oreo smoothie boba sweet and sour sauce

Haven't been to quickly in a few years, it's gotten smaller in store size. Still a nice ambiance, calm atmosphere, stereo sound could get some fixing, otherwise nice place to grab a quick refreshing drink! Popcorn chicken was yummy 7.5/10 boba 9/10 the barista was friendly and handled my food with care.

Spicy popcorn chicken
Trina P.

Wanted the classic boba and popcorn chicken combo and was fortunate to have found Quickly. This place is not only affordable but so delicious. Had a taro milk tea with grass jelly at 25% sweetness. It was just right. The showstopper was the spicy popcorn chicken. Spicy was optional. They give your a good amount to the point it made my partner and I full. The chicken was juicy with that perfect Taiwanese seasoning.

Squid Balls and Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Mariel C.

I like to pass by this boba place during my day off from college. The service was great and friendly cashier. My favorite drink is strawberry banana smoothie and I like their foods as a snack appetizer, especially I like their squid balls.. While I'm there they had a outlets to plug to charge your phone or ur devices.. I will always pass by this boba place.

A boba and cheap eats hidden gem in Chinatown! Walking in, I found the interior to be very mom and pop like which is a good sign. I got the house milk tea w/ boba and it was solid, but my dad got the avocado smoothie and it was very good! It was made with fresh avocados, was smooth and not icy, and not too sweet. It reminded me of one of my childhood favorites, cold avocados mashed with condensed milk and it tasted like that, but a smoothie version. The boba was also so cheap, $3.65 for a small milk tea like you don't see prices like that for boba nowadays! I also wanna try their food one day which looks good and cheap.

After an hour stroll along the few blocks of this beloved Los Angeles Chinatown, it was only right to get something to quench the thirst. I didn't find any place interesting enough for it, so I decided to walk back to my car and just settle it with the bottle water I already had in there. I parked at the Cathay Bank lot. It's a good thing I turned my head on my walk back because that is how I found this place. They do offer snacks, not just drinks, which explains why I was immediately hit by the smell of fried food soon as I walked in. It was pretty strong, I'll admit, so if it's like this all the time, they might consider upgrading those vents! I'm on a wintermelon tea phase, so I was glad to find that on their selection. Got a large and boba to go with it as well. Although I knew it wouldn't take long, I stepped out for a few seconds because, as mentioned earlier, that fried food smell was becoming borderline overwhelming. Got my drink and started my trek back to the car. It really was refreshing, but I felt it was missing a bit of an umph. The general flavor was there, but it felt it could have used a bit more of whatever mix they use. It almost felt a little watered down. The boba was a perfect chew, though, so they got that right. FOOD: (uhm... drink!) 3.5. SERVICE: 4. Friendly staff. VALUE: 3. Fair and as expected. PARKING: Metered parking and plenty of private lots for $5 for the day. Wasn't an issue when I came through on a Saturday afternoon. OVERALL: 3.5. But I'm gonna keep them in my radar should I find myself around here again. (Honestly, I didn't really see a lot of places like this - then again, I didn't really look - but still... good enough.) Might just try one of their grub to go with a drink next time...

Brings back memories of getting popcorn chicken and boba milk tea after getting off school. Love how they are still so affordable too! Their drinks are all mostly under $5 like milk tea, smoothies, slushy n more. My favorite bento box was the Taiwanese sausage rice and it even comes with free drink! If you're looking for a quick fix on popcorn chicken and milk tea then this place. They are having promotion on $1 watermelon juice too!

Oolong tea and Thai tea
Rachel C.

I really try not to do less than positive reviews but this place was one that I think could use some improvement. Staff here were nice and somewhat friendly but it would help if you spoke Chinese. We ordered Taiwanese sausage rice, at 12:40p or so, and were told they sold out. So we pivoted and ordered minced pork on rice and teriyaki chicken. It came with drinks so we ordered an oolong tea and a Thai tea. The drinks came out fast. But the oolong tasted pretty awful...almost like diluted coffee. Definitely not oolong. The Thai tea was also not quite Thai tea, just a sugary flavor. The food took a long time, despite the place being nearly empty. We took it to go because there was no dine in. That meant we didn't see our food till later. The teriyaki chicken turned out to be fried chicken cutlet, and the minced ground pork was not really ground pork, but a gravy with a little ground meat and small tiny pieces of pork belly fat. I suppose I shouldn't expect too much, but this was rather disappointing. Not sure I will return again. Perhaps a revamp is in order...sorry.

Finally decided to check Kissaten Corazon out the other night for Jiji's Jazz Club in the evening…read more I arrived a couple hours after the event started, so the cafe was pretty full when I got there. I arrived just on time to see Brit.'s live performance, which was relaxing and soulful. The crowd and ambience of the space meshed perfectly with the vibes of the event.

This was actually the only thing I tried that evening, but I'd love to return to taste their other options. Overall, the atmosphere and drink were 10/10 for me.

Walking in, I loved the aesthetic design of the open air cafe. Loved the antique vibes. There was a variety of different seating to choose from such as bar seating and cushioned couches which was nice. Going down the list of menu items I had: - Cantaloupe Milk CT with Matcha: Creamy and sweet cantaloupe flavor. Matcha was solid, but wished there was more of it. - Egg Sando: Pretty good. Lots of egg filling, but wish it was more flavorful. Bread also didn't hold the egg filling well. - Melon Soda Float: Yummy dessert. Ice wasn't necessary since there was ice cream in the cup already. I did some work from here and my experience was relatively decent. There were ample outlets and the couch seating was comfortable. The music could get a bit loud though, but I didn't mind. Only downside was the wifi wasn't great so I had to use my hotspot. This would be better as a place to socialize. Definitely a cafe worth checking out in the Chinatown area!

Archives of Us has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots lately…read more Tried the banana tiramisu cream latte and it really stood out , strong coffee flavor with a slight bitterness at the end, so it's not overly sweet. I asked for the cream to be cut in half, which made it feel more balanced. Definitely one of the better tiramisu style drinks I've had. Also got the banana cream matcha, which leans a bit sweeter because of the banana cream, but surprisingly works well. The matcha itself is smooth and consistent, and you can adjust the sweetness, which I always appreciate. The space is clean and spacious, great for hanging out or getting some work done. Parking is easy with a garage downstairs (they offer validation, about 30 minutes free), which is a plus for DTLA. Overall, a solid spot with well executed drinks , I'd come back.

It was really high end and looked very sleek. It looked really sleep and it was nice and cool inside as well. Their decor was minimalistic which I liked and it made the space look bigger. Multiple seating indoor and outdoor! My friend and I ordered 2 matcha einspanner's and their spicy miso carbonara. We got our drinks pretty quick but had to go up to ask about our food which was sitting at the counter but we could of easily missed hearing our name being called. The matcha was the perfect sweetness to me so I give it a high rating and the Carbonara was nice and creamy and included bacon bits but I didn't really taste any spice. The workers were really nice and sweet and helpful as well!

The roasted hojicha flavor came through nicely and made for a much more enjoyable drink. The shop itself is really cute. It has a unique half retail, half coffee shop concept that gives it a lot of character. I also like the convenient location on a major street. While I wasn't impressed by every drink I tried, the atmosphere and concept make it worth a visit. The drinks could be a little stronger in execution, but I might just be picky when it comes to coffee. I have not yet tried the other drinks yet so I'm excited to try something else next time. (I personally do not recommend the thank you latte, but it might just be my unique taste buds since lots of others enjoy it!)

Damo continues to be one of those rare spots where the drinks are memorable and the atmosphere feels like a little hidden gem.
