Comment: This place is insanely busy w/ online orders (Ive been delivering on the apps for the last 2 years) but I never tried it, because I assumed everything was just sugar water (Im T1D) Maaaaaaan, Ive been missing out. I mostly get the same thing, because its so good, but the lady asked me the other day if I wanted boba. Ive never had it and assumed it was gelatin, nope, just tapioca starch. I dont know if youve ever had boba but trust me, its like a circus in your mouth, like it is so much fun 🤣🤣 I wasnt sure what the straw and sucking these things was going to be like, but I got the hang of it (just drink slowly, nbd) I see others are complaining about cost, but its tea, and Ive spent A LOT of money on tea in my lifetime, and this is damn good, high quality tea. Im unaware if they have food options for me, but Ill check that out in the future. The young people at UTC, LOVE this place btw, I can easily run 6-8 orders, PER DAY

Comment: Rude and disorganized. Waiters never show. Food has too much salt. They removed all QR code but then leave no instruction for how to order food. When being reminded, the cashier became irritated and blame the customer for not knowing their unspoken instruction.

Comment: We walked in excited to get boba and it was 650 for a small which was the first red flag. Then though the lady working there was really nice, they explained they didn’t have boba!! At a boba place!! My friend got a drink also that turned out to be 8 dollars!!! Then, they came up to explain that the drink actually is hot only and that they could not physically put ice in that drink. Mind you, it didn’t specify that it was hot only. After all of that the drink was watered down and disappointing.Moral of the story,, I don’t recommend sadly but mango was okay.

Comment: I ordered tea. I got tea in a soup bowl. I was not pleased. It is a tea place where it should be in a teapot. Not in a soup bowl. On top of that I only had one teacup, but both me and my boyfriend ordered tea. What am I going to do with one teacup? Is he supposed to spoon his tea in his mouth? We didnt order soup. Super disappointed.

Comment: I ordered a honey green milk tea and a black milk tea with boba. I loved the honey flavor of the boba. The tea tasted very authentic. Their popcorn chicken is delicious although the spice is not evenly coated on the pieces. There is a lot of space to sit but if you are there to study or work make sure to charge your devices beforehand. The employees are eager to help too. great vibe!

Comment: Review based solely on the boba drink I ordered. This was one of the less appealing brown sugar boba drinks I’ve tried, boba was extremely squishy on the verge of slimy. Flavor of the milk tea was alright, with a mild pungent aftertaste.It was packed at Thursday night at 11:30pm, the food looked good from a distance.

Comment: I normally come here once a week to have table top gaming session with friends. Honestly a great place to meet considering the vast amount of parking. A nice amount of space. A vast menu to choose from. Its a good place to sit back and relax.aside from that, the food is fine, its too expensive for the taste and quality it has. Honestly, Im here to have a relaxed time and the staff is friendly and all of those boxes are checked.

Comment: Ordered take-out from Bei Yuan and everything tasted delicious! We got the barbecue eel meal (loved the eel sauce), pork knuckle meal, and popcorn chicken (mild spicy, still decently spicy). The meals come with white rice, seaweed salad, cabbage, and corn, all of it tastes very good. Food arrived quickly after ordering. Definitely recommend!

Comment: Was at Lolitas and decided to grab a drink to go along with my mexican food!I ordered a passion fruit green tea with half sugar and boba. Extra $1 charge for a large. Tea was good, but the boba was way too mushy. They only have self-order kiosks, which I absolutely despise. Like usual, the screen is a bit laggy, and the receipt did not print out.Drink was made very quickly.Parking in the plaza is relatively easy to find.

Comment: This place is so good that I’ve been here several times already since the new management. This was previously tea station and the new ownership is definitely amazing and a lot better with food and boba milk drinks. Today we ordered my all time fave matcha ice cream smoothie, “as always” sausage fried rice, fried squid and pork tonkatsu. Everything was so delicious!! (Love their to go milktea cups) And the service is outstanding!! With about 3 servers who are polite and efficient with cleaning up and assisting with all our needs.

Comment: Good for a tea drinks, but go somewhere else for a meal. Their boba tea is good. The snack items are just so-so; small portions and mediocre quality. Prices are quite high for what you get. You have to order ar a kiosk if youre doing take-out and their system is full of bugs so youre never sure if they double charged you. If youre dining in you have to scan a qr code and order from your phone. Very annoying and same buggy system as the take-out kiosk. Ill still go here if Im just looking for boba tea to go, but go somewhere else for food or snacks.

Comment: I thought to myself what am I going to do.. to start off the halloween festivities. Thats right! Find a new Boba tea joint to tryout and when i got here. I was in for a big surprise. They had mini pumpkins for us to paint with acrylic markers. A beautiful and creative start to a great Halloween night. I tried to paint a stormtrooper but it went badly due to proportional issues. I did my best though!!Also the food/snacks here are pretty decent and their spices and chili oil are a nice touch.

Comment: I drink a lot of boba. A. Lot. I’ve been to so many places across SD but this place is hands down the best, by far. Their boba is always the perfect chewy texture and actually has flavor. They make their drinks really sweet and because I have such a sweet tooth I really love that lol. And the various snacks I’ve tried so far have always been yummy! They’ve stepped up their customer service since they acquired new ownership and they are so kind every time I visit. 10/10

Comment: The pork chop meal set was terrible. Pork chop was soggy and so fatty. Cucumber side dish was soggy and just not fresh at all. The corn had zero flavor and overcooked. Popcorn chicken was probably the worst Ive ever had as well and soggy. Plum green tea was so bitter and awful. I would never go back. There are so many tea stations in San Diego that blow this place out of the water!

Comment: The best boba Ive had in San Diego by far. The tapioca pearls are soft and chewy and nicely sweet. The Royal Milk Tea has a strong tea flavor and the Rose Milk Tea has a strong botanical, floral flavor. 75% sweet is perfect sweetness, probably will try 50% next so I can taste the tea more. Service is as efficient and polite as can be. Love the self order kiosks they have too.

Comment: Hands down my fav place to get boba. I especially appreciate how late they stay open (12am/1am) considering I am a night owl and get my boba cravings come evening.I always get the caramel milk slush with boba and egg pudding and extra caramel cuz I have a sugar problem 😂😅 their boba is consistent— the perf amount of chewy and sweet. I’ve also tried the fried tofu and takoyaki, which were delicious as well.The service is my only gripe. It’s often difficult to get someone’s attention and some can be pretty aloof. They’ve forgotten about my orders a few times, even tho I’ll be sitting in the chairs right by the register. The other Tea Station was very rude so I only go to this location.

Comment: Got the chrysanthemum tea with cheese cream. As someone who really loves chrysanthemum t this is very disappointing. It tastes really watered down and has little to no chrysanthemum flavor. It tastes like the tea is not fresh either. Expensive for $6.75. Perhaps the other items on their menu might be better but I wouldnt recommend this particular drink. Maybe Ill try out the popcorn chicken and update my review.

Comment: Best boba I have had. The boba milk tea is great and my favorite so far. The boba has its own flavor and the milk tea actually taste like tea with hint if milk taste. You can even choose how sweet you want most of the drinks. If you want boba, recommend you get the drink after 12 or 12:30pm since it takes a while for the sweet flavor to set in totl the boba.

The touch screen is broken and no one cares to fix it. Goto other teastation if you really want it.P.S if you look at one of the review on Yelp, the manager looks like a Mafia boss from Taiwan is trying to intimidate customers. Very unacceptable behavior.

Owner should let employee know how to help there customer from step 1 to the last step not being aggressive and give us a hard time to understand the process of our order.Not good for a tourist to experience this for the 1st time to try there tea.

When I came back, two ladies bickering about who made the drink. I felt negativity so I just left and didn’t plan on coming back. Worst customer service. Not worth for $6 tea.

It was my first time here and will be my last.. the 3 people I encountered there were all very rude .... They didnt even give me a boba straw to drink my boba drink with... Seriously ? If you like boba you know what I mean... How can a drink place give me a ring little straw to attempt to drink my boba with... Disappointment

Comment: The actual boba balls here is hands down the best boba I’ve ever had. The texture is perfection, not too hard and not too mushy. The tea part is really good too. I usually get the almond milk tea. They are more expensive than other boba places (6.25 for a large) but the superior taste and quality is worth it.

Comment: Excellent food as well as teas. I recommend upgrading to the large anytime youre sharing....the extra dollar gets you a lot more to drink.The wonton noodle soup is amazing for done in as well as to go.

Its the one I keep coming back to time and again. Service times can vary as it can get crazy busy, but food and drink standards have remained consistent every time.

Comment: Really like the black milk tea with boba but the price is a little of the high side. Almost a dollar more did the usual place that I go to for the same size. They also dont open up early in the morning. I walked in at 10 as the door was unlocked and they told me to go away that they dont open till like 11:30. Ive been there before so thats why I give them the four stars but if theyre going to keep the door unlocked then they should be willing to serve drinks

Comment: A decent sized boba place with some food options. Theres indoor and outdoor seating, with a large drink menu. Theres an to-go line option, and to stay there is a separate section. The pricing is pretty average, the speed of the service was fine. The quality of the drink was good, the tea flavor was strong, with some honey in it. The only problem was that the boba seemed to stick together, but with determination it separated. Overall, its a okay option.

Comment: San Diegos 1st Tea Station. Good for large groups, particularly if you let the owner/manager know that youre coming. You may be able to procure a group discount ahead of time if you talk to a manager in person. Crispy popcorn chicken appetizer is a staple, as is spicy instant noodle with egg and ham, beef noodle soup, pork stew rice, pork chop rice. Good teas but pricier. They used to do free tea no boba at lunch with a meal. Some may be turned off by hooliganry, vaping and smoking outside.

Comment: So, to preface my review, Im posting this as a former Tea Station employee and customer.I used to work for Tea Station as a waitress, and it was the worst employment experience I have ever had. Not only was the pay below minimum wage, but the customer service was also atrocious. As an employee, I was able to see the poor quality of service that our customers were dealt with. Missing drinks, late orders, overcharged bills, and a complete disregard for the customers needs was the norm. For example, customers would often times be left waiting for over 30 minutes despite ordering their drinks to go. Whenever this happens, customers are left waiting for even longer to get their drinks, and they sometimes receive the wrong order. Not to mention, all of the entrees are pre-processed, frozen, and not fresh in the least. The takoyaki, for example, came in large plastic bags that are then stuffed into a microwave for quick cooking. The drinks also suffer from a similar issue, as the majority of their teas are not even imported from Taiwan. Tea Station attempts to sell a brand of Oriental delights for a severely inflated price tag.As a customer, I dealt with a lot of the same issues above. I also had to wait absurd amounts of time, despite the restaurant being empty, and my order was often times wrong. All the employees always tried to avoid making any possible contact with customers, which is largely due to them knowing only Taiwanese, and they were often times rude.They would never apologize, or give any type of consolation unlike other boba shops. Do yourself a favor, and go to the other boba shops in the area. Youll at least be able to speak to the workers.Tldr: terrible service, high prices, lackluster food

Comment: First, a disclaimer: this place is not cheap. A small milk tea drink is about $4.50, and looks like a 12 oz cup. However, the quality is great - the milk tea uses a more tea-heavy taste that I really like, and their boba is always chewy. For me, this is my favorite milk tea place, even with all of the other well-known ones in the area. The only reason why I dont come here all the time is because I cant afford it :)

Comment: So, this is our go to place for boba tea. However tonight was the worst service, inexcusable to say the least. We ordered the drinks, took over 30 minutes before we went up to ask about or drink, their reply, oh so sorry. Our number is 36, next thing we hear is #44, 5 minutes later our order comes out, but they are missing a drink! It just might be time to find another place! No offer of comping the drinks or a voucher for next time, extremely poor customer service. There are plenty of other places to try in San Diego.

Comment: Large variety of drinks to choose from, but had a difficult time finding a good drink without caffeine (although the menu does label most of the drinks that are caffeine free). They could improve on this by labeling most popular drinks so first time visitors have an easier time choosing a good drink that they would very likely enjoy.

Comment: My milk tea with boba was made with freshly brewed black tea at Tea Station. You cant do better then that. I like it 1/4 sweet, so I can really taste the freshly brewed tea. Its $5.75 for a large milk tea with boba. I also tried the Macha Ice Cream Milk Green Tea, 1/4 sweet, regular size for $5.50. But this one was too bitter for me. Ill stick with the black tea.I tried the Taro balls, but they were a little gooey for my taste.This is a relaxing place to grab a table inside and sit with friends. You need to ask to be seated, as they save the bigger tables for bigger groups.Staff was helpful and attentive. Ill happily return here for real tea. Look forward to trying more snacks as well.

Comment: I would have given this place 5 stars if it hadnt been for the last visit! My friends and I all came from a volleyball game and we were tired and thirsty so we we eagarly ready to order! However, there was no one to take our order! We waited 10 minutes before getting any attention from anyone. Then after we got our drinks two of my friends said the Taro slush tasted really weird, I tried it and agreed so they asked politely if they could get another one and they straight up said no. PLUS they didnt have boba that day so THREE STRIKES AND YOURE OUT.Now, now that being said. Tea Station has some quality drinks my favorite being the peach oolong tea and the honey milk or just milk green tea. The boba here is one of my absolute favorites but with the wait and the bad service my friends and I are willing to go somewhere else. Too bad tea station is open quite late and honestly well probably be back. remember CASH ONLY! unless you order over 10 dollars.Its such a hard battle with this one but i usually give in. Tell me if you find another!Happy Hunting!

Comment: Stood at the please wait to be seated spot for over 10 min. Wouldnt had been so bad if my girlfriend wasnt on crutches. More than 1 staff member saw us standing there and not one of them acknowledged us. So, we ended up just seating ourselves. After siting there for only a couple min. Someone dropped off menus, but still havnt said one word to us. We sat there for another atleast 15 min, while they bussed tables around us and didnt take our order. Finaly fed up we just left. Crap service for sure. I guess u have to be super asian to get service. Not being racist, cuz Im asian myself. As for the food and drink, couldnt comment. We didnt get that far. Prob wont ever go there again. The spot accross the street was cool. You should check them out if u want customer service.
