Kim De Guzman: Try the spicy salmon onigiri with your boba for a light snack, so good ✨
Nishanth Chandran: My go to boba joint: this location is great and you can be adventurous since they have many different drinks. My usual is Hong Kong style, 25% sweet with Boba or egg pudding.
Eater: Pair your matcha with tapioca pearl where you can get matcha poured over Straus Family Creamery milk, housemade syrup, and boba, or an affogato with Frozen Kuhsterd custard and rotating flavors. Read more.

Billy Leet: Their soft opening seems pretty solid to me! Awesome Hong Kong style milk tea, and really pleasant workers.
Annie Park: Real tea bobas, get the matcha
Maggie Sheldon: I love that Asha offers non-dairy options for their teas! This is one of my favorite pearl milk tea spots. They have an Arnold Palmer equivalent that's very tasty, too. The line always moves quickly.

Lan: Honey coconut milk tea with boba is delicious! Perfect sweetness and they have good pearls here.
M L: Delicious milk tea and pastries. Four tables and outlets, wifi, not crowded in the middle of the day. Love!
Charlobo s.: Try the lavender Earl Gray. It's amazing. My go to is the Honey Coconut boba, but the lavender is a contender!

Allison Yu: Delicious boba!! Mountain black tea with cream and sea salt is bomb. You still get the creaminess without the milk
eifeh: Easily one of the most authentic milk tea spots in the city; closest I've found to Taipei. High mountain tea, jasmine tea, and Tie Guan Yin milk teas are all good. Boba consistency is hit and miss.
Henry Wu: One of the best authentic milk tea shops in the Bay Area. The high mountain milk tea has a nice strong flavor.

Chris Young: One of my fav boba spots, liquid gold is feugo.
Qiqi Xu: Better than Boba Guys
Neivin Mathew: Roasted Oolong milk tea at 50% sweetness is perfect. Sweet Marshmallow, Honey Gold and the Virgin Mojito is good too. Hot tea is pretty decent as well. Afternoon tea snow is great as well.
