Back here again. Came here with my daughter and a friend from out of town. My friend ordered some…read morekind of Coconut milk drink with sago and pudding in it while my daughter and I both ordered the Watermelon Slush this time. My daughter took Regular sweetness level like she usually does and I took mine half sweet as I usually do. I'd gotten a little Mahjong piece from a Sun Tea drink I had earlier this summer and was able to redeem it for 10% off my drink. This has to be done in person though. No way to redeem the 10% off if you order through the electronic Kiosk. Watermelon Slush drink was yummy. I am curious now about the Coconut milk drink my friend had. She chose to have hers with zero sugar because she said the pudding in her drink would be sweet already. She loved her drink very much and raved about how delicious it was. Sounded too that she was very happy with her decision to have it with zero sugar, and that the sweetness of the pudding was enough for her. I normally wouldn't think to order a drink with zero sugar but she was sooo happy with her drink, so perhaps I will give it a try myself sometime. Zero sugar is after all healthier, n'est-ce pas?!

Used the self serve kiosk, and ordered with ease. - girl handing off the drinks was friendly. Tried the Mochi roasted milk tea half sweet, even at half sweet, it was still very sweet, probably due to the mochi. Make sure you mix the drink well, as the mochi is a clump, and you'll have difficulty drinking it, if you don't break it down. Didn't really taste the roasted tea - as the mochi and sweetness was very dominate. Overall, average experience and taste for bubble tea.

I've been here a few times, and every single time, it takes a long time, whether there are four or five people in front of me or no one in line. I timed it yesterday (Saturday), I placed the order at 1:40pm on my receipt and did not receive the drink until 1:58pm. That is kind of ridiculous how long it took. The drinks overall were good, but I do not think the wait is worth it.

This location is the one I tend to come across the most cause I usually am visiting the mall. The shop sticks out with it's red design. It's just a pretty small boba vendor shop that's kind of hidden away. The menu is basically a screen running a video so that it animates and loops. There's quite of a selection of drinks on it though. Most of them are on the sweeter side with their cookies and cream shake. They've got a lot of crazy drinks going on, but I'm a simple man that likes his simple drinks and lately, I've been very much into the #8 fresh jade lemon green tea. Because the drinks are pretty sweet I usually adjust it to like 75% sweetness. I also adjust the ice level to get more for my buck and ask for less ice. Hard to judge boba shops in my opinion. Especially since any adjustments I make to my drink is on me and not on the shop. Service was quite fine. Only one person was on the job when I was there, but I've seen two people there before. One to make drinks and the other manning the cashier. Overall, I thought my drink turned out fine. Just have to adjust by trial and error to get the right sweetness down for yourself. If you come across one of these shops, check it out.

There's a lot of drinks on the menu, so I was happy to see a most popular drinks menu. I'm terrible with caffeine in the evening, so to be safe I went with the fleshy mango slush with coconut milk. It's not cheap (cost $6.90 for the cup), but it's getting harder to find an affordable boba shop these days. The drink was exactly what I expected it to be, a solid mix of mango and coconut. You can never go wrong with this combo! This SunTea is in a shopping plaza, so there is parking available for the plaza.

That's a lot of bubble tea. The mango slush I had was pretty solid I must say. Yes this place isn't the only game in town, but they do have a decent product. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point.
