"Only good for drinks!!! Teas!!Ordered the basil chicken entree in a hot dolsot $14.99, their spicy beef tendon noodle soup $15.99 and the oyster pancake $10.99. Two winter melon drinks $5 each. Everything came out to $57 for three dishes and two drinks.Came on Friday evening, it was busy but we were served quickly.The basil chicken was a 3/5, too many tiny bones I had to chew carefully to make sure I didn 't choke.It was annoying. It also did not come with any veggies just a few pieces of basil, I would have enjoyed a bok choy or maybe broccoli tossed in but no veg.If the bones don 't bother you then I 'd say give it a try, the flavor was okay, I did like the garlic and thinly sliced ginger it was savory, I give this dish a 3/5 but would not try again due to the bones.Their popular spicy beef tendon noodle soup was not that great. The beef was old it was not tender. I should have listened to one of the reviews that I read online that said that their beef is not tender and tastes old and rubbery. But I decided to give it a chance because the other reviews were positive.However, my beef was old and did not taste good. The broth with spicy but it had some kind of sour taste. I prefer yummy yummy noodle in Chinatown. They 're beef shank beef brisket are always tender and their broth is absolutely flavorful and costs less too. I would give the beef and tendon soup 2/5 do not recommend.The oyster pancake is similar to the pancakes you find in the frozen section of the Asian Mart. It was served with a very sweet sticky sauce on top. It tasted soggy and chewy overall and I think partly bc of all the sauce, maybe it should have been served on the side and also bc it was stuffed with ice berg lettuce which I disliked. I give it a 1/5, would not recommend.For the drinks I ordered the winter melon fruit lemon tea with ayiu which is like a jelly type boba. The drink tasted like a lemon citrus tea and the boba was soft and sweet. $5 for the regular size which is a great deal compared to Chinatown. We also ordered the winter melon mousse drink. It was served with a cheesy salty foam on top very tasty. Also $5 for regular size. I recommend these drinks.They have a large selection of teas. The regular is $5 and the large is $6.The regular size is a normal size you get in Chinatown but for $3 less. I will be returning to try their drinks.The red chairs that they have are extremely uncomfortable they 're made of this steel material and they dig into your thighs when you sit down. Unless you 're a child or a very small thighed person it 's very uncomfortable to sit in when eating.Overall this place was underwhelming, and I would not return for their food only to try their milk and fruit teas.Parking is very limited. Tiny lot."

"I've been coming to this Quickly for several years, but since I've finally made it in post-remodel, it's time for a review! Location, Ambiance and Service They are located in the San Bruno Towne Center which is always fairly busy due to the mix of food, shopping and Bevmo. There are a few spots right out front, but you'll have better luck parking in the main lot. The remodel looks AMAZING! Everything seems really clean and refreshed with wood-paneling, TVs with the newly expanded menu--the whole place looks much more modern and upgraded. Over the last few years we've seen the same rotation of folks working there, but didn't recognize the people we saw recently. We had a couple of questions since we were changing our usual order, and service was fine--not overly friendly, but it's hard to read on people when we are all masked. Food Popcorn Chicken: This is one of my guilty pleasure snacks--salty, crispy, dark meat that is hot and delicious! Curly Fries: The fries are super seasoned and just the right balance of crispy and soft. Drink Hokkaido Milk Tea caramel : First time getting this and WOW! It's definitely sweeter than I would usually prefer, but this really hit the spot. Classic caramel taste; the boba was a little undercooked ? in the center but was fine. Wintermelon Tea black tea : This is my go-to! Love the flavor; refreshing taste, and goes well with classic honey boba and popping boba as well. Great before or after a meal! Overall, Quickly is good if you're needing a quick boba fix and are in San Bruno. As mentioned, there are some shops Lowe's, nail salon, Marshall's so this is a great first stop before running errands or for a treat on the way home. Instagram: @waitingtoeat"

"Most other places don't know how to DO TEATastes so bad it makes you say, SCREW TEASome boba is awful, makes you wanna BOO TEABut that'll change when you try Kung FU TEAWhen you taste this one, you'll see you never KNEW TEAFinding the Lemon Black has really been a COUP TEAIf you wanna be a Playmate, this can be your HUGH TEAThat's why you have to come straight to Kung FU TEAWHATLocated near relatives houses in New Caney, which is a good 25 or so miles N NE of Houston right along Hwy 59 aka I 69.We were delighted to see a Kung Fu Tea open up right in New Caney next to 2 major hwys (Grand Parkway also passes this point). It may be one of the locations which is owned by the same guy that owns the Chinatown one I'm not sure. I'll let you know once I know.But there's literally no good boba this far out, so it's wonderful for the community all the way up here to now have an excellent, spacious, nicely designed and very friendly KFT here. I like it better than the Woodlands location.Kung Fu TEAIt's great for MEI stop by here for a drink or THREEKeep coming BACKFor Lemon BLACKFeel so addicted maybe they use CRACKI'm not SUREBut it tastes so PUREBobaddiction is my sickness and there is no CURESo I'll get the BOBAAnd then I'll go OVERTo Barbie's hotel room so I can DISROBE HERAnyway, enough about the perfect BarbieYou better get your ass to K F TThis location is friendly, and didn't mind serving me 15 mins before closing which I really appreciated.The milk teas at KFT don't really do it for me, they're different, but not awful, however the fruit drinks are great, especially when you get them with black tea, which they might adjust for you if you bat your lashes.What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca!Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea!Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong!Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas!Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! I also love the regular milk tea with Oreo!The Lemon Black Tea is the bestLike Barbie's shoes or her fake breastIt tastes like a dreamAnd can make Barbie creamThis boba is better than the restSo instead of showing your crackAnd being asked to please stop coming backGo to Kung Fu TeaAnd drink boba with meAnd I'll share my fave drink: Lemon Black."
