Quickly is the definition of boba nostalgia for me. Used to come here more when it first opened, but I occasionally come here to try if their boba quality has gone down. The answer? Mostly not. Just their prices went up. Quickly is the definition of a no frills boba shop with a fast service and very quaint interior seating. I never run to come back, and I usually don't recommend this shop to others, but this is a legacy boba shop in the temple city area. read more

Quickly - Boba milk tea special - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Temple City, California

Stopped by after Lagree down the street right when they opened on a Monday bc I had a craving for milk tea and popcorn chicken They have a kiosk to self order but I had issues with it so I ordered with the cashier, quick and easy. Ample seating available to enjoy your snacks if needed Value is definitely there but this wouldn't be my first choice for popcorn chicken. The breading was very crispy but also thick and dense. I got a medium boba milk tea and a large black tea, these were decent and definitely a good portion for the price. The taiwanese mince pork rice was a very cheap meal at 5.99 but was mostly rice, I didn't mind it tho This satisfied the craving but I feel like there are other locations with better popcorn chicken. Milk tea flavor was super nostalgic! read more

Reminds me of the boba shops of my childhood! We stopped by for some good ol' almond slush and their boba milk tea special. On our first visit, we got the boba milk tea special, in a large size at 25% sweet and no ice ($4.20!! what a steal!) and a small almond slush at 50% sweet and no toppings ($3.95). It was a hot day and both drinks were refreshingly good. The next visit, I got the boba milk tea special again, but this time in a medium size with less ice and 25% sweet ($3.45, again a steal at that price!). We also ordered more food and snacks to try, namely the mild fried combo ($7.99), mild popcorn chicken ($8), and the minced beef egg rice for $11 (not to be confused with the $7.99 special one). I liked the fried combo (came with at least 3-4 different items), popcorn chicken, and the rice. BF thought the popcorn chicken was sufficient, but preferred the chicken from other locations. For a one stop shop of drinks, snacks, and actual food food, Quickly is a great option with plenty of seating inside. So glad it's around for reasonably priced eats and some childhood nostalgia! Quickly shares a parking lot with several other businesses in the plaza. Close parking may be hard, but there's a good amount if you don't mind a little walking and there's also street parking if need be. read more

I got a popcorn chicken rice and was surprised at how cheap it was for the amount that you get. For $8.99..$9.87 after tax it's still under ten bucks for a filling meal. The drinks are decent too. It came out fairly quick. If you're looking for a deliciously cheap meal then this is your spot! read more

Quickly - I accidentally ate some but it had minced pork on top of the rice! And way more meat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Temple City, California

Quickly means nostalgia and that also means nostalgia for how much boba used to cost. They somehow manage to keep things reasonable even when it seems boba is somehow competing for how expensive they can get. As of today, a medium boba here will still come under $5. Is it the finest boba using the most premium of teas? No. But did you still crave an almond slush when it seems like no one makes it anymore? Then come on over to Quickly! My only criticism is their popcorn chicken is made with what seems to be white meat so it is pretty dry (I ate one piece like jerky). I saw a manager reply below that you can ask for it less crispy and more juicy but I've had other popcorn chicken that is both crispy and juicy, I don't think you should have to make that trade off and especially at $9. You get a lot of it though. Otherwise, I love Quickly for what it is! read more

I hadn't been to a Quickly in years, but I stopped by the Temple City location recently and ordered the Popcorn Chicken ($8.78). It came out piping hot, super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Way better than I remembered. For a quick snack, it absolutely hit the spot. read more

Love the popcorn chicken here and you get a lot! I truly believe that Quickly has the best popcorn chicken and this location is one of my favorites. I typically call in for my order so I can grab it and go. I've also tried their French fries but it's not my favorite. Could be cooked a bit longer. They don't have sweet potato fries. Never had an issue with parking. It's a shared lot with a few other businesses in that corner. read more

While in the area, we decided to stop by this Quickly location. The exterior had a more modern look compared to other Quickly spots we've visited, and the inside was clean and well-maintained. We ordered tea beverages along with popcorn chicken topped with lots of spicy powder. They were generous enough to include extra chili powder on the side, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, they were running low on boba when we arrived, so our drinks had to split what was left. To top it off, we were approached and told the shop would be closing in 10 minutes, which made us feel a bit rushed and like we were being kicked out. Strangely, as we were leaving, a large group walked in and wasn't given the same heads-up. That part left a weird impression. read more

Food is always good. Ambience needs an update. Service got less friendly. There's always missing items for the drinks. This place could be great if they kept up with a friendlier customer service. read more

Popcorn chicken is great. Other food just so so. Tea is fabulous. Very clean and well organized.

I was craving some popcorn chicken and decided to stop by Quickly's! Inside this location, you can either order through the kiosk or at the counter. It's also pretty spacious with several tables so you can enjoy your boba and snacks there. Popcorn chicken 4/5: One of my favorite items on the menu. I usually get mild for the spice level. First, the spice is pretty accurate because it's not super spicy but it does have a kick to it. Their popcorn chicken is always nice and crispy and the portion size is good too. However when I got my popcorn chicken today, I realized it might have been sitting on the counter for a while before they called my number because the pieces on top weren't warm anymore. The pieces on the bottom were still nice and warm which wasn't so bad but I had to deduct a star for that. Despite some popcorn chicken pieces weren't warm anymore, I don't think it will stop me from coming back because I do love their popcorn chicken! read more

Quickly is my go-to place when I crave comfort food! Their house special fried rice always hits the spot. I usually just call my order in and and it's always done when I get there. Yup, Quickly gets it done quickly and on point!!! read more

Stopped in for a quick snack and drinks. My son got the strawberry milk boba small and I had the milk tea special. Both were decent priced and they made it to the desired sweetness. Only downside was the fact that they ran out of coffee jelly. Substituted it for aloe jelly. The staff was quick to get our fried calamari out. It was fresh fried and seasoned well. It was a bit warm inside but, it was not too bad. We had plenty of seating to enjoy out snack and drinks. This was our second time trying them. We will return. read more

Still just the way I remember. I ordered a popcorn chicken rice dish with milk tea and a jasmine green tea. I've been coming to Quickly's for 20 years and their milk tea still tasted like when I drank it as a kid. I absolutely love how this place is also still very affordable and the portions are decent too. Their popcorn chicken doesn't have as strong a basil flavor as the authentic Taiwanese popcorn chickens, BUT the chicken is very juicy and has lots of meat. (rather than caked on dough) Overall I would definitely come back again for their meal and drinks. The location of this spot isn't in a busy plaza so parking is very easy. I came on a weekday at 5pm, and there was no wait either. If the parking in the plaza ever does get full, there are plenty of street parking nearby. This is the perfect spot to get your chinese food fix! read more

Menu has wide selection of food and drinks with decent prices, almost too many to list. Food tends to be on salty side. Boba and slush drinks are great. Service is over the counter and there is no restroom available for customers. This is the only Quickly restaurant I know of that doesn't have a restroom. One table had crumbs leftovers on top of it, but other than that clean and kind of outdated. read more

This has been an issue for the longest time, rude customer service always! Stop hiring this unprofessional kids!

I've always loved quickly because their snacks are so delicious and their drink menu is huge!! I would definitely choose their slushies or teas more than the milk teas. The prices for the snacks are unbelievably cheap for the amount and deliciousness you get. The cashier wasn't too friendly but I am assuming it is because she was the only one working. You can come here to hangout with friends or family to grab a drink and some popcorn chicken. It did get kind of hot inside. Great experience! Yummy snacks!! Refreshing drinks!!! read more

I ordered a boba milk tea and the tapioca balls tasted like lemoney. Immediatly spit it out, could have been an accident and somebody drop lemon detergent into the boba container. I brought it back and told them it tasted weird. They looked at me funny and the manager looking guy came and tasted one. No apology nothing just waited 5 more minutes and they handed me a new drink. I drank it and still tasted the lemoney weird taste in the boba. Obviously it could be maybe some kind of other flavoring mixed in. Or some kind of cleaner. It looked foamy. Who knows. I tossed it and will never go back. These people are not to be trusted. read more

Popcorn Taiwanese chick is so bomb is why I go here. Service sucks and the cashier is rude. Don't know if it's cause I'm not Asian, but I am Pacific Islanded lol. He also acts like he doesn't understand shit I'm saying. SMH Place is a dive and people pretty much go here for pickup. Not welcoming at all and place looks dirty. I really don't recommend and will be looking for a better Quickly for my chicken and boba. Been here several times and always the same bullshit. F this place! read more

Despite current economic and how hard is it for the small businesses these days, I am still trying to support local business. Ordered pork chop rice and other dishes and found out items aren't fresh, especially the pork chop is spoiled with very disgusting taste so I tossed everything away. Been having stomachache and diarrhea since I have very sensitive stomach. Called and informed the store but did not receive any apologies nor refund except denials. Hoping the management can do better when it comes to freshness and food quality control. After all these years, this will be my last time patronized this location. read more

I came by with my brother since I was taking care of his lunch and he wanted Quickly. I ordered for myself a popcorn chicken. I was quite surprised by the portion size, it is quite large in my opinion for the price of $6.99. Aside from the one chunk of cartilage/bone, the rest of the chicken was decent, the batter is a good balance between light and crunchy. I don't have anything to say about my brother's order since I didn't try it, but their meal sets of rice/noodles are all under $12. Having had Quickly/Lollicup in the early days of 626 boba in the 2000s, it's still one of the more affordable options if you just want your no frills boba/Taiwanese snack fix. read more

This place used to be decent until recently they hired these kids that dont care or respect their customers. I called in to order my drinks and they stated that the bobas will take 30 minutes. Thats fine, j went to do my haircut and came here when i finished. I had 10 minutes left. I wanted and waited and no drinks. I went up to confront of them about it and they told me no boba. I told them that they told me 30 minutes on the phone. So the guy went to the kitchen to check and sure enough, the bobas had been done. The workers are so rude and dont care about the customer's time. read more

Items are decently priced. They just need to update their menu because quite a few items are no longer available. You can either order at the kiosk or with the cashier at the register. There's plenty of seating inside but the TV was off and I don't recall any music playing. read more

First time here. Service was rather quick and the drinks are inexpensive. They have milk tea, flavor tea, slush, smoothies, milk, and fresh fruit to choose from for drinks. Plenty of tables for dine-in read more

Half of my order was wrong. I ordered at the kiosk and idk if it's a mistake between the kiosk and the kitchen or not. I ordered Teriyaki Beef Rice. When I got home, what I received was chicken. The honeydew milk tea was incredibly sweet despite me selecting 50% sugar. I also selected non spicy for the crispy tofu but the tofu I received was incredibly spicy. Checked the receipt and somehow it was written as extra spicy. Giving them 2 stars cause the food was good and hot and the prices were good. But disappointed about how the orders came out incorrectly. Could not finish the tofu or honeydew drink. Double check your items before you leave. read more

I really like this Quickly. I don't really drink boba / milk tea or sweet drinks in general. I come here for the food! Food Option 1: The general food orders are your typical fried chicken rice, pork chop rice, pork belly rice, beef stew and etc. For a boba shop they make pretty decent food for cheap! Food Option 2: Family home cooking. You can order dinner in advance where you get 4 dishes made to pick up. They cook with less oil and do not use msg. A much healthier option vs going to order out at restaurants. You can grab the menu for the week to see what is available. Service: Not necessarily the best service, but not bad. Environment: Boba shop environment. Parking lot normally has available parking. Price: Good prices for the amount and quality of food. Food (option 1): 4 Food (option 2): 4 Service: 3 Environment: 4 Price: 5 read more

So I think its time to update my quickly review. There is no better bang for the buck on popcorn chicken anywhere than at this quickly. Seriously the popcorn is fantastic and then some. A few of my neighbors, the munchkin and many of her friends agree on that as well. However its not just the popcorn chicken that is delicious here; the teriyaki chicken, beef stew rice, noodle dishes (chow and lo mein), almost all of the "snack" items (eggrolls, dumplings, french fries, etc) are delicious. I have only had a couple of items that were not up to my desired taste on the food side. But honestly the amount of food you get for the price outdoes almost every other boba shop around. When you add in the quality of the grub on top of that, WOW! So now lets talk the drinks. I am kind of a creature of habit as are most people IMHO. However, the drinks are freshly made, delicious, and as sweet as you want them. I order mine 1/2 sweet as any more is just too sweet for me. None the less many others like their full sweet flavors. They also have fresh juices for those that want something totally natural like watermelon juice. But literally, the ices, milk teas, flavored teas, etc, I have never had a bad one. Just dont be the person running in 5 minutes before they close hoping to get boba, as I bet they have already run out 15 or 20 minutes earlier... Regardless, this is one of my favorite hole in the wall kinda places. I couldnt more highly suggest giving it a whirl. It is super tasty and delicious. read more

I'm not really sure why this quickly's has such bad reviews. I use to come here a lot when i lived in the SGV. To me this is one of the only few quickly's that has great & generous servings of popcorn chicken and French fries for a decent price. Their drinks are decent too if you don't want to fork over $4-6 for drinks at other boba places. read more

If you have high expectations of boba and are looking for more modern drinks and instagram-able drinks then Quickly isn't for you. Quickly is like the OG boba place we all used to go to when we were younger. Their drinks are mostly syrup but the prices are fair for what they serve you. When you want a drink like lychee slush that's sugary and cheap, you go to quickly! When you want Thai tea and not pay more than $5, you go to quickly! Honestly the interior is old and a bit dirty.... Get your stuff Togo because they charge extra for you to consume inside I believe. 5 stars because I expected cheap boba drinks that were sweet and sugary lol and that's exactly what I got. Ps boba was a bit hard but hey it's quickly boba lol read more
