    Rose tea & "basil" popcorn chicken
    Natasha K.

    Ordered via DoorDash and it came quickly. Yea was yummy, but the "basil" popcorn chicken was bland. I got extra seasonings that they give you on the side, but still needed actual sodium. Also, was only one small dingy string of basil. I want my popcorn chicken to have a lot more pieces of basil, it's one of my favorite parts.

    This place needs to be rated higher. Out of all the Boba places in Oakland, I've never had the most frequency of stopping by and getting a Thai Tea than here. This place is amazing, and I couldn't keep track of how many times I've been here. I've been served by the Same 3 baristas and they've always nailed specifically how I like my Thai Tea made. Theres also a good amount of seats available if you want to dine it. Amazing place, amazing everything.

    Only came here for their popcorn chicken. Easy ordering experience through the kiosk on site. This spot is honestly loads better than the T4 in Alameda. I didn't feel like they skimped on the amount of chicken here. Have to say T4 is still one of my favorite spots for popcorn chicken!

    Sooooo good!

    During a hectic day at the office, I decided to door dash myself some boba tea. My order arrived quickly and it was just what I needed. I decided to try the Brown Sugar Latte with Pearls. I was a little hesitant because the sweetness could only be ordered as "standard", but it was actually perfect! Not too sweet, and not bland at all. I was also happy that I could order soy milk to be included, as I can't have too much dairy. This drink was good until the last drop - I even made sure to eat every single pearl lol! They also have snacks and I'm interested to try those all well - everything from cheese sticks to fried chicken and fries. Once I do, I was def update my review. In all, 5 stars - if you haven't tried T4, I suggest you do!

    Okinawa Milk Tea

    On a weekday afternoon, there were a few people waiting in line in this T4 location that could seat around a dozen people. Similar to the other locations, this location had its signature white and blue interior decorations. I ordered their Okinawa Milk Tea at half sweetness and less ice with boba, while my friend got their Mango Royal Tea. The Okinawa Milk Tea was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I enjoyed the texture of the boba. Their Mango Royal Tea was tasty & enjoyed by both me and my friend. I haven't been able to try one of the T4 locations in a while, but it is still of similar quality since last I tried!

    Nice environment, and staff are super friendly. Coconut pudding is my favorite . When I visit Oakland Chinatown, I would like to stop by and order some food.

    I recently visited this local boba place, and I'd describe my experience as a mixed bag. I've come here a couple of times before and each time I've found the boba flavors to be quite indistinguishable from one another. Undoubtedly, the unique charm of this place lies in the variety, but unfortunately, they all seemed to be heavy on the syrup which makes it difficult to appreciate the nuances of the individual flavors. From a taste perspective, it is quite hit-and-miss--some days I've had good boba and on others, I have been left a little disappointed. It's not that the boba is bad, but it falls short of being great. That said, I believe they could do a better job at delivering a more flavorful and distinguished boba experience. The place itself is warm and inviting enough to make a late-night run for some boba. It's not extraordinary, but it does have that cozy atmosphere I enjoy when I'm out for a casual drink. The ambiance manages to make those relishing sips of boba just a tad more enjoyable. The service was passable but there's room for improvement there. Despite everything, I'll probably be back at some point, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. This place is more like a fallback option for when those late night boba cravings kick in and Shooting Star is closed/too full.

    Drink was very refreshing, foods were yummy. They were kinda busy, and they were efficient. I like there are many seat, I could chill in the store.

    T4 Oakland is a go-to spot for delicious popcorn chicken and tasty milk tea. The flavors are great, and the prices are reasonable. I really appreciate how customizable the drinks are--you can adjust sweetness, ice levels, and toppings to your liking. Highly recommended if you're craving a solid boba and snack combo! Service was efficient. The inside has multiple tables and they are clean.

    Very yummy side dishes and so many delicious drinks to choose from. The service was great and the people were super friendly and welcoming. The Ambiance is cute little shop with a "Breakfast at Tiffany's " kind of theme.

    Food was good. Boba was a little soft. Clean and not too busy after lunch. The ordering machine was a little weird but functional.

They have an extensive menu of tea, I decided to get the black mango tea, which is indicated as high caffeine. They told me to keep it to less than 1 min steeping or else it gets oversteeped. They were prompt with coming out with my tea leaves and teapot, and gave me a towel to put your teapot on in case of spills It was bitter, but definitely has the fruity notes I was seeking. I was able to make several potfuls of tea which still had some flavor in them, so the leaves seemed to do well with re-steeping. They provided me with a kettle so I could continually reboil the water, so I felt it was decent value (since total it cost only slightly more than the average boba costs nowadays). I'm thinking I'd like to get the lychee or hojicha next time. The worker didn't mention to me if they offer milk, which I wish they did. But they do sell snacks. The bathroom is clean. They have free wifi but the day I was there, unfortunately they were having issues with the wifi. They have a 2 hour time limit on weekends, but no limit on weekdays. I appreciate that they have outdoor seating, for those who are airborne illness conscious, and also so you can enjoy nature and sunshine while having your tea. A lovely spot overall, right on San Pablo Ave so you can take the 72 bus lines to reach it.

    My best friend and I were so bored this summer, we made it our mission to find experience based…read morefood/eats. We stumbled upon this place on social media and wanted to check it out. It is such a vibe. There's street parking (limited) we ended up parking 10 mins away from a public parking spot. We got the four seasons tea (they charge $3 per extra person for a cup) so for us two, it was only $3 extra on top of cost of the tea. We ended up spending $20 for tea for us both and the little snacks (pineapple bites and mochi). For the experience I'd say the pricing was worth it and especially if you are a tea connoisseur. Keep in mind, if you do go, you have to talk quietly since it's a quiet ambient atmosphere

This small shop is not hyped up, they don't have long lines, there's no influx of influencers trying to take advantage of getting free drinks in exchange for advertisement. Just pure locals, IYKYK. See I'm not big on overly sweet milk tea that gets washed out from the milk and has minimal tea. I love the strong tea flavors with the hint of milk just to complement the tea. I love ordering their Tieguanyin Milk Tea. It's probably one of my favorites because of the floral hints. Even as a milk tea, you can still taste the tea itself while adding a hint of sweetness. As a hole in the wall in Chinatown, this is literally one of the good ones.

Prices for their drinks are about $5 to $6 average and they seem to have a limited amount of finger food snacks available too. On this first visit, I tried the soy milk tea with mochi sesame pudding. This item comes either hot or cold and you can vary the amount of ice or sweetness. I chose the cold version with no ice and little sweetness. It was a unique and very refreshing drink and something I could get again, though I'd want to try their other drinks on my next visits. You can order at the counter or via an electronic kiosk. There's a credit card service fee of about $0.17 that is charged for orders under $10. They have a phone number rewards membership that you can sign up for too. Service was quick. There's 2 small tables inside to sit and enjoy your drink/snack here if desired. Located in Oakland Chinatown.
