"The staff was a bit slow; even though there wasn't anyone in line, it took a while for them to prepare my drink. I opted for half sugar, but it turned out to be too sweet for my taste. I'd recommend sticking to a maximum of 25% sugar, or even no sugar, especially given the amount of boba they include. Keep in mind, there's only street parking available. I’ll definitely return, now that I know how to adjust the sweetness!"

The boba was good with the perfect texture, but I wasn't a fan of the passionfruit tea.

Loved the pistachio milk tea with boba and matcha jelly! I ordered it on a whim and didn’t regret it. As a person who is picky when it comes to their boba, I highly recommend.Service: 4/5

We always visit this place when we can because it’s always busy! I absolutely love the salt and pepper chicken, and I always get extra sauce on the side. My favorite drinks are the mango smoothie and the D1 with boba—it’s to die for! Food: 5/5.

About ten or thirteen years ago, Purple Kow was a great spot for boba. However, with so many bubble tea options available now, you can definitely find better milk tea elsewhere. Both the black milk tea and oolong milk tea taste quite watered down, which is disappointing. Overall, I would rate it a 1/5 for the food.

I truly enjoy ordering the garlic chicken wings from this restaurant; they are incredibly delicious! However, I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of their milk tea. It's a bit too creamy for my liking. They offer a variety of milk tea options on their menu, but unfortunately, none of them have really met my expectations. View menu

Tried the toffee QQ half sweet with oat milk. Everything was good. The cups are huge and don’t fit in a cup holder. Might be hard for little hands to hang on to. Seating available inside. Parking could be challenging. We waited 5 minutes, there was no one in-front of us. Straws look like compostable, hoping it doesn’t get soggy before I finish. I like to take my time and enjoy it all afternoon.

I’ve been visiting this restaurant for years, almost every week, and I absolutely love it. Their boba and chicken nuggets are outstanding. However, I have two complaints. First, the prices have skyrocketed, with a boba now costing around $7 after tax. Second, they don’t offer delivery; you can order ahead through the app, which is convenient. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit from time to time.

"Earlier this year Salty 's was featured in one of the top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area in 2022, and after trying it a couple times, it 's easy to see why. Quality and flavor, great customer service, it checks all those boxes. I occasionally visit the 24 hour fitness on Van Ness, and Salty 's happens to be just few short blocks away which makes it perfect when I 'm looking for a post-workout sandwich. And for those that know me, I love me my sandwiches. On my latest visit, I decided to go with the 'Glorious B sandwich, which come with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, veggies, and garlic mayo. The blend of flavors and high quality of the turkey is no wonder it 's at the very top of the menu list. It 's one of those sandwiches, that you can bring to park and not need a ton of napkins to get through. It was well put together, with the ratio of all the ingredients matching well. Nothing overpowering, just sandwich perfection. The size of the sandwich I thought was the perfect size for my appetite. As I 've gotten older I can 't put down as much food as I used to, and after one-half I knew I could 've stopped eating, be content, saved the rest for later. But of course I ate the whole thing and nothing sounds better than taking a quick power nap right after. I love that their menu has so many different sandwich combinations, so definitely take time to check their menu before calling-in/walking-in to order because it 'll definitely save you some time. On my latest visit, I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely towards the top of my list of sandwiches in this part of town!"
