2024-05-05 21:59:27Casual Asian styled eats along with milk tea. This place is really good, and as an added plus its a locally owned shop with lots of passion behind it! I tried their milk tea, which was great, though I do recommend for people who dont have a real sweet tooth to order the less sweet option for the tea. The normal Thai tea option has a lot of delicious caramelized brown sugar flavor, one of the best on the peninsula for sure. On my first visit I had the popcorn chicken and the satay, popcorn chicken was light and crispy and next level. Ill be back to try the rest of the menu for sure!

2024-06-16 02:47:46Was really hopeful for a local boba place. The cups are cute but the drinks and toppings were not great. The boba looked funny and the texture was off. The lychee jelly was mushy and didn’t taste like lychee. Good thing they only gave a small spoonful of toppings. Price for the large is $8 plus $0.50/ topping. Not worth it in my opinion.The fried tofu was ok. Not much flavor. We got home and added sauce and it was better. She did ask us if we needed sauce so maybe we should have gotten sauce there.

2024-06-25 03:39:22We were craving boba and decided to give Congo Go a try. The thing I loved the most is that they make their syrups and boba fresh in house. Thats literally unheard of given todays quick serve world and makes boba a lot more guilt free knowing its NOT loaded with a ton of high fructose corn syrup and other processed items.They also make their snacks and desserts in house, from scratch too. We loved the crispy egg rolls (full of flavor and made with healthier turkey), popcorn chicken and the fresh made mochi donuts. Weve had mochi donuts from popular chains in past and these were in a different league! The dough was soft and chewy and the matcha glaze was melty and warm.The chef / owner and staff are super friendly and takes their time to talk through their menu and make recommendations. They are planning to bring more authentic food options soon. Ill definitely be back to try that and more snacks and drinks.

2024-06-29 02:46:07Shame on this business! My 3 year old daughter desperately needed to use the bathroom so my husband asked for permission to use their facility. They insisted that he had to be a customer in order to use it. Fine, he asked for two mochi donuts (one for our two littles) the lady made him purchase 7 in order for our little girl to use the bathroom! I will never again support this business since they clearly do not support people.

2024-06-17 20:37:59Super tasty and fresh! You can tell that everything is made fresh in store, including their boba, the glaze on their mochi donuts, and the strawberry purée in their drinks. We got the brown sugar milk tea, the strawberry matcha milk tea, the matcha and the strawberry mochi donuts, and the fried tofu. The fried tofu is light and crispy, well flavored, and the chili oil they serve with it is very mild and flavorful. It’s also very affordable— everything we got was only $27! It’s also nice that they use compostable bags and take out containers :)

2024-05-03 00:49:29Boba was fresh and food was delicious! I love that it’s Asian owned as well. I ordered a a small taro boba and a strawberry boba. For food I got the egg rolls, onion bloom, and crab puffs. My son and I agree that the onion bloom was our favorite ! I love that everything is made in house. Even their ranch dressing. Which was comparable to ranch from Wingstop. lol. We’ll be back soon.

2024-04-16 19:09:04While the fries were seasoned well with furikake, they were undercooked and under salted. The Thai tea didnt taste like Thai tea at all, unfortunately. It tasted just like chai and was too sweet. The Thai tea at Bobalicious and Bites is far better. Also, little consideration is taken to reduce plastic here. Everything was packed in plastic even though we ate in and there was only one trashcan for waste and recycling together. Would love to see more environmentally conscious decision making.

2024-05-01 01:45:49This place is a straight up Vibe. We went for National Boba Day today. As an after school quick bite, with my 3 kids. It was delicious we had some great Calamari, Furikake Fries, and Louisiana style Beignets. Also, thr Boba was really tasty.
