    Very fast and pleasant service, some seating inside and a few more outside, place is very clean. That banana matcha was fantastic, will go back again soon!

    Bootea Shaker with Boba
    Lana P.

    I got a boo-tea shaker sub jelly for boba and it was a little lacking tea flavor. However the boba was fresh and chewy, which I did not anticipate because I came in around 8:00. The worker who checked me out was named Duy I believe, and he was extremely kind and patient as I was ordering. The store is located in Vietnam Town and has a couple tables to sit.

    Overcharged for popcorn chicken, lousy cheap  portion distribution.
    Elena K.

    Dear John, you clearly didn't review the portion size for your popcorn chicken order since it was brought up by a previous Yelper. Because what is this? How is this acceptable? You guys over charge for this item and this is how you're sending the orders out to customers? I had maybe 7-8 decent pieces while everything else was just crumbs. This is false pricing. It's happen twice before and this is the last time I'll let it happen because it'll never change. Either lower your prices to match the cheapskate portion or just remove all your snacks. And stop over frying your food to the point where they're so dried and crunchy for future consumers.

    Flavor was good. A little busy during the weekend. But didn't have to wait too long for the drink.

    Came here specifically for this!

    This isn't my go-to Tastea location to visit but since I was in the area and my fave seasonal drink was in season... WHY NOT?? My daughter is absolutely obsessed with watermelon and tbh, Tastea's Watermelon Heaven is bomb af, so this is 100% a double win in my book. We arrived with a young gentleman running the establishment. Placing the order and the wait time for our drink was easy and so very quick. I made the request for light sweetness level and the drink was still very sweet- in a great way!!! This just proves how naturally sweet & ripe the watermelon was. 5/5 stars.

    Pandan Oreo Smoothie
    Raymond N.

    I've been going to Tastea periodically over the years whenever I'm craving a fruit flavored drink and I'm in Vietnam Town. Their drinks are ridiculously sweet but I do like their flavor combinations and topping choices, including their boba which is green for whatever reason. I received a notification on their app regarding their current Pandan Series and was intrigued by their Pandan Oreo Smoothie since I like pandan and Oreo and was curious to taste how they are together. I was about to place my order on the app but it said they were out of boba so I ended up ordering in person in case it was actually available. I arrived at the store on a weekend around lunchtime and the parking situation was bad as expected, though there wasn't a line at Tastea. I ordered the Pandan Oreo Smoothie with zero sugar since I anticipated the drink already being sweet (the barista confirmed the sweetness just adds sugar and not flavoring to the drink), but also noticed a small sign saying they didn't have boba because their "machine was broken" and I wasn't too bummed about this. The drink was ready in about five minutes and I was able to enjoy it at one of the tables in the shop; this location is not too big but there are a few tables available for use inside and outside. The drink had a nice pandan flavor with the crunchiness and flavor of the Oreo which I felt worked really well together. However, as I continued consuming my drink I noticed the pandan flavor become less and less and I was pretty much left with blended ice and what seemed to be non-dairy creamer. Unfortunately, I probably would not get this drink again and I'd stick with one of their drinks with more fruit. I also think Tastea should reevaluate its sweetness percentage customizations to realistically match the overall sweetness of its drinks.

    Drink was good, Service was ok, but the shop is set up as a grab & go. No wifi, i ordered a drink so I can work and sit but I couldn't do that here.

    We were at this shopping area next to tastea and saw the crowd. Whe we look closely, it is their 2nd anniversary and has BOGO for specialteas drink and if you spend certain amount you will get free gift. We were targeting to spend 15 dollars to get the shopping bag. Line was long and slow. When it was our turn, as we didn't pay attention on which drink qualify for BOGO, we hsve to redo the order. After we ordered our drinks were ready pretty quickly. Happy to get nice back and the drinks were good the vietnamese coffee is on the light side.

    Vietnamese Coffee & Sunset Peach
    Kristine N.

    Lots of parking available and located in VietnamTown -- perfect to grab and walk around. First time here!! There was no line when I went and the place is super clean. I ordered the Sunset Peach and Vietnamese coffee. The drinks were so refreshing and tasty. The sunset peach comes with green mango bits that I probably could do without, but other than that, it is one of my new favorite boba drinks! The Vietnamese coffee was delicious as well. They also offer food that looks pretty good such as french fries and popcorn chicken. I will have to give them a try the next time I come!

    Danster L.

    One of my favorite Tastea locations. Service is extremely friendly and it's a great location where if you grab a drink, you can definitely walk around Vietnam Town easily checking out the shops and restaurants as well. One of my favorite drinks to get is the, watermelon heaven and let me tell you, it is a watermelon lover's dream. It's perfectly sweet and icy for those hot summer days. It feels like you're eating the perfect ripe watermelon in a drinkable form. I hope one day they can expand to a bigger location within Vietnam town and offer more seating. There are other drink shops in Vietnam town that upped their game with plenty of seating and ambiance. Nevertheless, I still love getting the drinks here and especially their chicken. It goes perfectly well with any of the drinks. But yes, if you're craving something I see and sweet, run to Tastea and get the Watermelon Heaven because it's only available during summer time.

    On January 9th, around 4-5 PM, I came in to purchase a drink and had one of the worst customer service experiences I've had here. The female employee working at that time did not acknowledge me at all--no greeting, no basic courtesy--and her attitude was very rude and unprofessional. On top of that, the drink was made extremely poorly. It tasted completely different and much worse compared to the drinks I usually get from other staff members on previous visits. This experience was very disappointing and unacceptable. Due to the rude service and lack of quality, I will not be returning. Management seriously needs to address staff behavior and service standards.

    Matcha Thai Milk Tea
    Larixsa H.

    It was my first time here, and I absolutely loved it! I ordered a Matcha Thai tea, and it was delicious. The sweetness was just right, allowing both the matcha and Thai flavors to complement each other perfectly. I would definitely order it again! highly recommend! 10/10!

    Tried Moc Delight for many times and really enjoyed it! Their milk tea was fresh, flavorful, and…read morenot overly sweet. We also ordered a few snacks, and everything came out hot, crispy, and delicious. The staff were friendly, and the place had a clean, cozy atmosphere that's perfect for hanging out with friends or grabbing a quick treat. Prices were reasonable, and there were plenty of options to choose from. Definitely a great spot if you're craving milk tea and tasty snacks. I'll be back to try more items on the menu!

    Found my favorite childhood snack, mixed rice paper at Moc Delights--a fancier version of what I…read moreused to have in Vietnam. I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

I got the melon matcha with whole milk and the matcha cream top. I think I like their guava matcha more than the honeydew, but it was still good. It had a distinct honeydew flavor and the matcha itself was smooth. A friend of mine tried it and said it tasted like a lip smackers, which I think is a good way to describe it. I came on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. All the seats inside were taken but there were open tables outside. There's metered parking along Second and William street and it wasn't hard to find a spot. I love coming to academic and trying their new drinks, so I'll definitely be back.
