    Mango Pomelo Sago (TikTok: @justandyvu)
    Andy V.

    1. The drinks were well-crafted and delicious! I really the actual grape fruit bits! 2. The spot has fun causal vibes! The interior has a deep space! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! It was ready after 10 mins! 4. There are only indoor seatings! There are few tables! 5. Parking lot can get crowded but there is a parking garage in the plaza! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Mango Pomelo Sago and Grape Jasmine Tea Smoothie

    Just picked these two drinks like 5 min ago. Off first sip, i knew i was gonna come back! They were both so good, good in a way where it isn't too sweet! Which is why i love going to chinese runned boba/tea shops. They definitely remind me of molly tea and auntea jennys. The two drinks i ordered were: - grape jasmine tea smoothie with jelly (this was bomb! 8.5/10) - oolong milk tea with soybean cheese foam (this was one of their most popular drinks, 8/10, runs on the undersweet side so do 100% sugar if you like it more on the sweet side) Only rating this a 4/5 simply because this is my first time here and haven't tried the other drinks just yet! Definitely coming back with some friends in the near future!

    It's a cute shop, drink was OK. I got the watermelon jelly drink, 30% sweetness. Even with 30% sweetness, it was still pretty sweet. I didn't really enjoy the texture of the watermelon with the jelly. It was a very very chunky drink. I am a boba fan, but I think the chunks of watermelon with the jelly was too much for me. Also between the ice, the watermelon and jelly, there really wasn't much liquid to drink. It's kiosk ordering and you just wait for them to call your number. It took quite a while to get my drink. It was really busy with online orders which I think added to the wait time. I don't think this place is my jam, but it was super crowded so maybe it's me!

    Kiosk orders only. Takes awhile but the orders came out fast. Tried their watermelons specials and it was refreshing. Although nothing about it seems memorable. Milk tea was average. Tea quality is not as good Molly's or secha sen Chen. Guess I'm looking for more of a quality tea and something different.

    New boba shop. Kiosk ordering. Nice space. Parking garage. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Came for their opening promotion & while they only let you get duplicate drinks, I loved the Mango Pomelo Sago! Super refreshing, yet a creamy dessert, and loved the fruit and sago balls! It definitely was on the sweeter side of things, even at the lowest, and around $8 per drink normally. Would love to come again sometime! There is a parking structure nearby, but this plaza can get pretty crowded at night

    New boba spot in Irvine. I went during a weekday afternoon. There were not a lot of people, but it still took over 15 minutes to make my drink. The drink was okay, and priced at $7-8. The interior looked nice with custom artwork. There is seating inside that is not cramped. I will be avoiding here until the hype dies down to see if the quality improves.

    I've been meaning to write a review, but kept forgetting lol. Came by a few days after their grand opening, so their menu was still limited at the time with their 6 most popular drinks, but honestly that was better for me because I can be really indecisive because I would want to try them all! Now, I believe their menu should have more items like avocado, watermelon, etc. When I came on a Tuesday around 12pm, it was surprisingly not busy at all (with a few other people sitting and waiting for their drinks or talking with their friends while drinking) and I was able to order right away on the kiosk. I can't rate on service as I didn't have much interaction with the staff, but they seemed nice when they were bagging up my drinks. The drinks came out quickly, which I decided to get the mango pomelo sago and the gardenia dew fresh milk tea. The drinks were really good!! For 30% sweet, it was perfect sweetness for both drinks. What I like about their mango pomelo sago compared to other places is that it's not a smoothie. Most places I know make it like a smoothie (which I do like as well), but TeaByDo makes it like a refreshing and creamy mango drink so I can also save it for later without it melting as much! They were very generous with the sago and the amount of mango pieces and grapefruit pulp, which I appreciated. As for the gardenia dew fresh milk tea, the tea flavor was high-quality and had a nice floral-ness to it. The milk was not overpowering and had a nice balance to the drink. Overall, I would definitely recommend, they exceeded my expectations! Also love the interior, there was a good amount of seating and the panda theme is so cute, and I like how they displayed their fresh mangos in a clear display case in the front of the store. Definitely will be coming back to try their other drinks now that they have a fuller menu, like their watermelon series and the cheese grape smoothie.

    I have a feeling I entered a resort when going to this boba shop. Spacious store with relaxing chairs and quick service. I had: 1. Avocado kale mango smoothie 2. Signature taro ball milk tea 3. Gardenia dew fresh milk tea 4. Mango pomelo sago

    Um. They ran out of boba for the buy one get one free and told my cousin and I to sit down and then they'll let us know when they have more. I guess they are very busy? Lots of people inside sitting down. I think they just opened because I don't remember seeing this place ever lol. Their popular drink is the mango pomelo sago.

    This is my first time drinking this brand, I was very excited to try it! There are 2 ordering kiosks and it wasn't too busy when I went. The Mango drink came out fast and it was delicious. The mangoes were very sweet and fresh. The panda mascot is so cute and the store is brought and cutely decorated.

    Always excited when another boba shop opens in OC, there's already so many here but I eat it up every time. There was surprisingly no line when we went! I tried the gardenia milk tea- super floral and light, similar to jasmine milk tea. 50% sweetness was perfect for me! The taro ball milk tea was also really good- a lot of boba shops don't carry taro balls, so I'm glad to have the option here. Tastes just like the ones you get at Meet Fresh, so chewy. I docked one star due to service. It's their soft opening, so I get that they're still tweaking things though. I've never heard of gardenia milk tea before and I asked the worker what it tasted like, and she was just like I don't know. She asked another worker who also didn't know and said she hadn't tried any of the drinks here which was kinda funny. After some awkward convo I ended up ordering it and thankfully I liked it. The worker handing out the freebies for their soft opening also seemed pretty frazzled and was unclear on the rules of how to get the freebies and what promotions were going on. The only worker I had a positive experience here with was the one inside the panda suit- it was super cute and she kept dancing around the store. Might be back, definitely later once things get more settled down here. They only had six drinks available when I went, so I'd want to come back when they have a full menu!

    This is the latest boba shop to open from China with a cute panda mascot and I couldn't resist trying it out. This weekend was the grand opening but surprisingly not too crazy. It's located in the same plaza as Oishi Shabu Shabu where parking can be difficult but there was plenty of parking in the underground garage. The shop is pretty spacious with tables for hanging out. Everything is very on theme with the pandas from the cups to the wall art. They're very well organized and got drinks out quickly. There was a bogo deal for the opening but you had to get the large size and two of the same drink which was a little annoying. The Kyoho Grape Jasmine Tea Smoothie with Jelly ($7.59) at 50% sweetness was refreshing. It's more of a slushie and had real grape pieces in it. The Mango Pomelo Sago ($7.99) also had chunks of mango in it which I liked. 50% sweetness was still pretty sweet but good. The drinks are priced on the higher side but it seems like they use quality ingredients. I didn't get a chance to try their boba because it wasn't available, but I'd come back to try it and their other drinks.

The mochi from the drink had a good texture and the drink was so addictive. I just wish they had actual mochi balls as a topping on the menu. That would be such a great addition to the desserts.

Coupled with the faint smell of tea in the store, and you know that you're going to get an authentic experience. Store is very clean inside and the decor reminds you of being in a tea house. There's only about 3-4 tables inside, so not too many places to sit if it gets busy. You can order through a kiosk or in person, and the service is usually pretty timely. I ordered the Roasted Oolong tea latte and the Phoenix Oolong tea latte, both of which are their more popular drink selection. I usually try to get the lowest sugar level which was 10%. Of all the tea places I've tried, these drinks easily had the strongest tea flavor at that level of sweetness. If you're not use to the bitterness from tea, you might elect to select a higher level of sweetness to balance it out. The oat milk has a very subtle flavor, but also doesn't overwhelm the drink. Either way, I thought both drinks were well-made.
