    Popcorn chicken with basil
    Jenny M.

    I used to get popcorn chicken from Vivi Boba Tea's Plano location at 15th and Custer. Their chicken was crispy and delicious. However, when I went back, it was closed. A friend told me they have another location in Frisco, so I tried it and found the same taste. The owner said they sold the Plano location, but someone else is selling the same food. Since I live in Plano, I tried the new owner location, but was disappointed. The chicken was too salty, with thick flour that overpowered the taste. Both curry and basil flavors were too salty. Now, I'm sticking with the Frisco location.

    Mango yakult with rainbow jelly!

    Great place to go if you're wanting boba AND a savory taiwanese snack. You can even get a full on meal like a bento. Not very many boba shops offer that. As far as drinks, there is a HUGE variety. I really like taro drinks with no boba and my kiddo loves the fruit yakult drinks with rainbow jelly. If you're going to stay for a little while, (they do have strong Wifi) you can get a snack portion or meal. We've had the fried fish (yum! crispy and hot! don't burn your tongue) and taiwanese sausage and popcorn chicken. You can't find better classic taiwanese snacks in this area.

    A nice boba spot with some food selection. The drinks are pretty and have some unique colors. Their boba quality is nice, but I wish some of their tea tastes were slightly stronger as it tastes watered down sometimes. Cute interior!

    Chicken cutlet bento
    James Z.

    Vivi has been established in Frisco for years before all the other shops came in and has been consistently great. The food is what separates it from other boba shops. I've had 4 different fried cutlet bentos and they've all been made to order and delicious. The sauces and seasoning they use is authentic and similar to what you'd find in Taiwanese night markets. Portions are big too! Popcorn chicken is among the best you'll find in DFW as well. The drinks are overall pretty good with a strong tea flavor. The fruit teas are very refreshing and made with fresh cut fruit inside. Don't be afraid to cross the street and give them a shot!

    Cookie slush

    Oreo cookie slush 10/10 clean establishment food looks delicious as well will be back to try!!

    I drive by this Bubble tea shop everyday and never wear in. I paid them a visit today and was super impressed. The young girl working at the register was a little awkward when I asked her about things on the menu. She's probably new, other than that I love the bright colors, inside was airy and bright. I had the oreo Boba and it was super good.

    Flaming brown sugar and macarons
    Stephanie C.

    This place is really great for my afternoon sugar fix! I love their flaming brown sugar boba! If I am not careful I will drink from there every day! I also love their selection of macarons and they have a deal where you buy 5, you get 1 for free to make it an even 6. It is also my go to stop because I love the inside. I love anything pink and pretty. I also love their taro tea, I have ordered that before to be delivered to my work via UberEats, but I have not actually tried their food. I am sure one day I will try it!

    I can't remember when was the last time we visited here but we visited twice aa far as I can remember. This place is chic! It's a cool place for my children and they love to hang out here. They likes the popcorn chicken with rice. My wife ordered the curry katsu I think and she love the combo served to her. The way they served it to us was really good because they put enough effort to give us enough. The rice is filling as well as the vegetables. They didn't limit the servings of the food which is a big deal for me. My family will be back and our go to boba place. Service is pretty authentic.

    Popcorn chicken
    Teresa M.

    Cute spot for boba tea and snacks! My teen loves coming here with friends and they usually split a curry or bento box. I've ordered their popcorn chicken and curry chicken bento boxes and the meal is very filling, with the chicken seasoned perfectly. I've ordered the ramen before and their bento boxes are better (if you really want a ramen fix, there are better options across the street) but it's very reasonably priced and offers variety on their menu. Very friendly staff and even when it's busy, they usually have a very quick turnaround to be able to get your drinks and food served quickly.

    I got the Thai milk tea, with 75% sugar and less ice, size medium. The boba is nice and chewy and the bubble tea tastes great.

    popcorn chicken bento. Popcorn chicken is pretty good but the excess meat sauce and veggies were just ok
    Stacy Y.

    I was really craving Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the pictures of this place that I saw on Yelp convinced me to try this place out! I ordered a popcorn chicken bento with a green milk tea plus boba. I thought it was really cool that they let you choose what flavor seasoning you want for your popcorn chicken. Off the top of my head, I remember there being spicy, garlic, and classic basil as options, but there were a couple more choices as well. The popcorn chicken was pretty good and authentic-tasting, but it definitely was not as fragrant as ones that I had before. I didn't really enjoy the rest of my bento though. The rice was drowning in overly sweet meat sauce, and the side veggies were pretty mediocre. My drink was decent though!

    This probably isn't a fair review because your boba tea was great, and I'm sure your popcorn chicken is great... it's just that I want to get my tea at a tea place and my fried popcorn chicken and Vietnamese food at a food place. When we walked in we could smell the fried food smell and it was just a disconnect from the boba tea sights and smells we were expecting. They did have a good selection of macaroons.

    Thai tea, Milk tea, basil popcorn chicken
    Melody H.

    Vivi bubble tea is quickly becoming one of my favorite boba tea places. They have REALLY good Thai tea which is sometimes hard to find, their milk tea is really good too my sis loves it! The basil popcorn chicken IS SOOOO GOOD. I could eat 10000000 pieces of it. I wish I had some right now haha where I live this is the closest place to me with Basil popcorn chicken at 3 and a half hours. I haven't been able to try any other food because this is what I come for and it's soo good sometimes i order multiple orders knowing I won't be back for a while.

I understand prices for food in general have been going up, but this place is bordering being overpriced. You now order through a Chowbus kiosk, which funnily includes a very strong emphasis on how spicy their seasoning is. They were not kidding with that one, their spicy is REALLY spicy!! I wish they had a better system of notifying you that your order is done though. We were waiting for an almost embarrassingly long time before going up to check if our order was forgotten, just for it to be sitting on the counter unattended. We were some of the only people in the entire food court and sat nearby the restaurant, so we definitely would've heard them if they called our order number out. Overall a decent place for a quick meal.

As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

First, many of the dishes lacked the authenticity. The hot and sour soup wasn't sour at all and was overwhelmed by the flavor of sesame oil. The black bean noodles tasted like instant noodles you could make at home, and we ended up adding black vinegar ourselves just to bring some acidity and balance to the dish. The sweet chili shrimp also didn't taste fresh. At the end of our meal, we literally said "this tasted like Chinese buffet food." The service and dining environment made the experience even worse. Throughout our meal, we constantly heard dishes being slammed around from servers cleaning tables. At one point, something was dropped so hard that dishes shattered across the floor. A trash cart was parked right next to our booth while we were eating, and the staff even started mopping the floor directly in front of us during the lunch rush. I understand that restaurants often hire seasonal staff during the summer, but proper training is still important. The way the dishes were handled throughout our meal was loud, chaotic, and disruptive, making it difficult to enjoy our dining experience. It's unfortunate because our first experience of this restaurant was great, but this visit fell well short of our expectations.
