    Finally a boba place in Ocean City? And it's good?! I was pretty surprised that the menu here was so extensive, from selling not only bubble tea, but also rolled ice cream and sushi! Even bingsoo! My group was in town for a small vacation and we all love checking out local bubble tea spots, so we decided to stop by. We ordered the Unicorn Fart drink with lychee jelly and bubbles from their Special Teas menu and the Matcha King rolled ice cream. Both items were great! I wasn't expecting much because it's Ocean City, but was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good quality! The person who took our order and also served it was most likely the owner's son who was a kid so it made the experience pretty amusing when we heard him yell, "UNICORN FART!" pretty aggressively with a straight face too lmao! Plenty of parking up front as this place is in a shopping center which includes Food Lion and others.

    We chose Tea Boss for sushi after comparing prices with Blue Fish, another (more expensive) sushi place in Ocean City. The sushi maki rolls at Tea Boss were fine and tasty enough, though my sister felt they had a little too much rice. The nigiri was NOT good - mostly rice, and the rice wasn't super well seasoned, and felt like it was cooked with too much water. The fish on top was ultra thin, like 2mm thick, and didn't have much flavor. I'd say the ratio of fish to rice on the nigiri was about 1:10. We got a classic OG bubble tea as well - the tea flavor was good but I thought the boba were a little overcooked. Felt it was overpriced at $8. We waited about 45 minutes for our takeout order on a Friday night. Sushi presentation wasn't great but the staff (one lady and her son) seemed to be the only ones around and were taking care of a lot of orders. Based on the food alone, I'd say this place was "okay" and might come back if I was in the area and really craving some maki and it was still a cheaper option in town.

    Wow! Pricey! My daughter wanted a boba and I wasn't going to be surprised if we didn't find one here in ocean city but we did find 1. So we drove to the spot and ordered that tea extra boba and a brown sugar boba and when it was time to pay I didn't understand how much it was so I handed her a 20$ bill and my change was 1$ bill! the bill came to a whopping $19. That makes it about 7-8$ for a normal boba. But to be fair it had a decent taste. I guess if you're the only boba shop you can charge that much to get your boba fix lol. I'll pass next time. SYOY! Happy holidays

    In my opinion, this place is a bit overpriced, but a solid choice for boba in the Ocean City area. In my experience, the service was pretty good, the staff was nice and friendly. This time, I got the strawberry bingsu, but I've tried the classic boba and mango bingsu before. I remember the boba being solid, not the best I've tried but better than most in the area. The bingsu was pretty good, however it was a pretty small portion. It was a bit sweet, the ratio of shaved ice to toppings could've been better. The shaved ice was good, there were a good amount of toppings, however I'm pretty sure the strawberries were frozen. I thought the place was nice, definitely not the cutest, most instagram-worthy decor but I thought it was a nice, solid, shop.

    I got a mango slush and it was delicious! I loved the spinning chairs lol, I definitely recommend it. Not only does it have boba but I saw it has ice cream rolls and sushi. U should go check it out

    Combination rolled ice cream, bubble tea, and... sushi??? Alright, I guess. Ice cream prices are a bit high, but I half the fun is watching them roll ice cream, so I guess it's dessert and a show. They have a few tables inside for your social distancing eating. Staff is friendly.

    Let me start by saying that I love Bing Soo and Bubble tea and I try it wherever I go. I am a bit disappointed to give only twi stars to this place. I spotted Tea Boss driving up Coastal Highway... and during the 2.5 weeks that I was here, I was really looking forward to try the Bing soo. I will be going back to Baltimore tomorrow, so on my last night at Ocean City, I decided to give it a try. My first impression is that the place is very clean, but lacks a little bit of that cute bubble tea cafe character (not always necessary if the food is great)... I was torn between getting bubble tea or Bing soo but went for the Bing soo. I ordered a blueberry Bing soo with mango bubbles and coconut jelly. The staff were friendly and when I requested the Bing soo to go, the lady packed it really well. Once I opened my bing soo, it looked goopy, and to my surprise... there were no fresh blueberries on it! The shaved ice had a very sweet and thick blueberry syrup that was overbearing to everything else on the plate. The Bing soo didn't have that freshness that differentiates it from other desserts. I am disappointed that I did not enjoy the Bing soo, but it looks like the place has other good things to try (bubble tea, sushi, ice cream) so I would love to come back and change my review of this place. I hope they add more fresh ingredients to the Bing soo.

    Mango bubble tea (w/pearls). Pretty good!

    Surprised to have found this at Ocean City. Got the mango bubble tea and the strawberry rolled ice cream... both solid. And I'm from NY where this is everywhere in Flushing and Chinatown... I'm also Chinese. Legit. Hope these guys do well. Great place to go for snack, especially if you've got kids.

    Blue Berry Bubble Tea

    I can't believe this place has so many good reviews But I guess it is also says a lot how it doesn't have a lot of reviews within the past couple of years either... Which gave this restaurant majority of good reviews. Was craving for boba in the area and this one popped up and so I was curious to try it. SERVICE: As soon as we walked in, a lady sitting outside went in after us. She didn't greet us but we figured she worked there anyway and was hanging outside since it wasn't a busy day. There is a little boy that they are probably babysitting. He is in one of the the dine-in tables on his tablet. I told the man at the cash register that I wanted to dine in, so he pointed the printed out menus and told me & my company to have a seat anywhere. AMBIANCE: *I wasn't a fan of the decor. The decor looked cheap & it was all just a bizarre combination of things. *I also didn't like the idea of a pot of flower right on top of the trash bin, taking up the space that I had to move the long dangling leaves aside just to put my tray on there. SHRIMP SHUMAI: *The shrimp shumai here is the worse shumai I've ever had. *It tasted like wrapped rice papers that got rolled up and microwaved and tastes as if they forgot to add the shrimp and other ingredients in the middle for you. *This was the first item to come out and they didn't provide soy sauce, so I went up to ask the lady for it but she told me to "wait" because the soy sauce is coming with the sushi we also ordered. (I didn't understand her logic of just not giving me the soy sauce packets cus they were just packets, but I got annoyed and shrugged it off to wait for these things anyway.) BLUE BERRY BUBBLE TEA: *Really terrible. It did not taste like blue berry at all. Very watered down or tasted more like water. I couldn't drink it so I just threw it away. (Also, my company didn't like his Matcha bubble tea.) SUSHI: *After handing out my tray from the window next to the cash register, the lady didn't explain which sushi was which, but I was pretty done with this restaurant at this point & hoped that at least the sushi would be good...? *The sushi just didn't taste good or fresh. It tasted like it was not done by professionals. It tasted like old sushi that has been sitting out. I regret choosing this place over OC Wasabi. But you never know until you try it right? Curiosity killed the cat... I definitely do not like it & wished I had made time to try OC Wasabi. I filled my stomach with unsatisfying things instead... In my opinion, I don't understand why this restaurant is still up & running, I would give it a zero and definitely do not recommend.

    Thai tea bubble tea and sunset rolled ice cream
    Jordan M.

    Food: my boyfriend and I found this place during our Labor Day weekend trip in OC. We ordered the sunset rolled ice cream sundae and a Thai bubble tea to share. That was my first time having Thai tea flavor before and it was so good. My new go to for bubble tea! The ice cream was also really good. The peach and mango tasted great together, and the ice cream was the perfect amount to share. All in all it was delicious and a great dessert place in OC. Especially if you're looking for something different from your traditional boardwalk desserts. Service: the people working the cashier were nice and quick with our order. They made the ice cream right in front of us, and the presentation was adorable. All the fruit was finely chopped and blended with the ice cream perfectly. Other: this is a completely irrelevant note but I thought it was cute to add. The table we sat at had cute little decor! They looked adorable so of course I had to take a picture. Not an essential but it added a cute home vibe.

We were set on getting the salmon and the swordfish dishes which we did, and it did not disappoint! They were the most delicious dishes I had experienced in a long time. I asked about the seasoning on the salmon and the waitress, who was fabulous, said it was Moroccan. I loved the hint of cinnamon but according to the Moroccan spice I looked at on the web, it is a combination of numerous spices which amounts to a delicious combination of flavors. Both dishes were paired perfectly with their sides and sauces. I have never left a review about a restaurant before. This will be one of my few unforgettable meals. If dining inside, bring a sweater. They don't skimp on their air-conditioning. It was a cool night so we ate outside which was nice, but what made it nicer was our wonderful waitress, Fanika(?), who had the most awesome, helpful, outgoing personality that makes a dining experience that much better.

The Caesar was excellent: fresh, whole romaine hearts tossed in a nice tangy dressing, topped with flavorful brown bread croutons and a solid chunk of quality cheese. The cream of tomato soup was equally good, carrying over those same rich croutons and cheese to tie the meal together seamlessly.

I particularly liked the "New Fashioned" cocktail, which was like an Old Fashioned with some Grand Marnier. Really tasty. My shrimp crown imperial was okay, but those shrimp on top of the tasty crab really needed some more char. They're supposed to be grilled shrimp, but tasted more like steamed.

I started with two soups - jerk chicken and rice soup and the cream of crab. The chicken was good and had long rice with plenty of spices but the soup came out very lukewarm. Granted I don't need it piping but it was somewhat concerning. Also - the chicken was a tenderloin rather than shredded or chopped which was kind of hard to negotiate with a spoon. The cream of crab continues to cement its place as the top 2 cream of crab soups in and around OC. I went with the longboard burger as my meal - served with pasta salad. Really like the pasta salad as a side being different. The burger was pretty skimpy on the special sauce that came with it, but I asked for a side of bleu cheese which was good. The bartender who served us was a younger guy with a beard and longer hair - very friendly and attentive to everyone. Again - nice chill vibe here - cool little built-in market area and a cool design.
