"Very kind and helpful staff. I enjoyed their genuine, nice customer service. The place is quiet, very lit up brightly, it is small and cozy, as well as organized and clean. *Note: please only enter through the front door. There is a (I believe it's called a 5 star membership app on their tablet before you order and you can just put your phone number in to add points and redeem discounts or free items. I got to redeem half off my drink today. I got a hot coffee with condensed milk. It tasted really good. I think for next time I will request a bit more cream and sweetner, because the roast is more bitter than I typically tend to enjoy, however I do tend to have a sweet tooth and it was still prepared very well. The food also came out nice and hot to order. I ordered the fish plate. I never ordered this dish, but im plesantly surpised and extremely happy with the price as well as quality of the food. Based off taste and experience of other cafe food, I believe it came with: a crispy fried fish, beautifully garnished with a delicious slice lf cliantro, on a bed of rice, with a tastey layer of ground beef in between, a tea egg, mapo tofu, and string beans. The string beans were cooked perfectly and a vibrant, healthy, lime green. It tasted as delicious and appetizing as it looked. Greens are meant to be enjoyed at it's best like so; seasoned perfectly, fresh, crunchy, and delicious. The rice is nice and fluffy. The ground beef added subtle and nice texture. What I believed was mapo tofu was a perfect amount of mild spicy maybe about a 3 out of 10? (Level of spice. It was a little too salty for my taste, possibly more soy sauce than I am used to, however combining with everything else, it was balanced out, and still tasted very great! The fish was light and crispy. Everything tasted very fresh and amazing. I definitely would love to enjoy this dish again, as well as support the wonderful staff that work here. Thank you for an amazing experience of delicious food, drinks and service all around!"

Unfortunately my Thai iced tea snow bubble wasnt good. The drink is just chunks or ice that weren't blended properly.

Food order was not what we requested. We wanted medium spicy they gave us no spicy. Also most of the fried dishes are soggy and dry. The jasmine tea is too sweet. Normally 75% is enough but this time its too sweet

Tried to order earl grey milk tea over the phone, which it was specifically on your menu website, and the person who pick up the phone, saids "we are tapioca Alhambra, we don 't have that. "Do you not read what is on your menu? So unprofessional. View menu

This is my favorite spot for a delicious Strawberry Frosty Milk. I always order it with mini Boba, and I haven't found another place that offers mini Boba. The staff is consistently attentive and friendly. We always make an effort to come here, and it never disappoints!

In terms of my ratings: - Service: 5 stars - Fish cake: 2 stars (it was over-fried) - Popcorn chicken: 4 stars (though the rice was disappointing; it needed to be cooked with less water) The side dishes were fine, and overall, it was a great deal for the price. I also received a complimentary tea with my order, which was a nice touch.

I used to have a Tapioca Express in Mira Mesa but I'm glad there's one here. I think that the company did a great job of delivering service in my town and will definitely support this location for now on. The drinks are amazingly crafted and good. I like the quality of the teas and coffee offered and the new POS system is appreciated. Exceptionally crafted drinks and food. . View menu

The quality of everything—tea, food, and even the cups—was extremely poor. First, I ordered a foam tea drink with half the usual sugar, but it was so sweet that I ended up adding my own unsweetened tea to it. Then, as I tried to put the lid back on, the flimsy cup collapsed, causing everything to spill all over my work desk. I spent 25 minutes cleaning up the mess, wiping down my carpet, computer, desk, and notes. Unfortunately, the spilled tea even contaminated the food I had purchased there, forcing me to throw it away. It was a total waste of time and money.

I ordered the milk foam cap matcha latte, and it came out to 4.50+, and apparently I can't use my credit card for purchases under $5, so now I have to get an additional order that I don't want. I ordered the Formosa sausage, and it was such a waste of money spending almost $12 for both crappy items. The Formosa sausage was so dry and tasted like plastic, as if it was recooked a few times. It looked really shiny and just hard. It also took a lot longer than other orders for some reason. The matcha latte tasted horrible; pretty sure I've had matcha latte here without milk tea, and just the matcha and milk, but not being a fan of milk tea, this drink was a dump. This entire experience was horri...

"My first time here. Celebrating my brother’s retirement. The crabmeat cocktail impressed me the most. The drinks were super. So was the Zin I had with dinner. The service was very good but I would not say exceptional. I ordered the soufflé moments after I sat down as I read online one needs to do if this is the dessert you desire at the end of your meal. When that time came and I mentioned it to the waiter, it appeared he did not make a note of it or write it down and had a pained look on his face. That did not make me a happy camper. However, within 2 3 minutes, a marvelous soufflé was delivered to me. It was fantastic! My steak was done perfectly but it was definitely too salty. My brother also had his steak prepared the same way as mine and it was the same cut – but his was rare to be sure, and not medium rare. He’s more kickback than I am so he did not want to send it back. However, I don’t expect that to happen at a steakhouse of this caliber. Also, I had wanted to order their peppercorn sauce to go along with my steak. I forgot to mention it but I wished our server would’ve asked me if I wanted one of their many sauces to go along with my steak. That would’ve jarred my memory. Too bad he didn’t.The side dishes were fantastic, especially the creamed spinach. I will probably revisit again sometime soon. But there is a lot of competition in Pasadena for fine dining. Also, had to wait 15 minutes for the valet to park the car. That was definitely not a plus. And this was a Thursday night."
