Opinions de Boba Guys San Francisco
Spicy thighs and red beans and rice are the best. Tenders are surprisingly not even close but a three piece is surprisingly generous.
Finally got my hands on the elusive chicken sandwich, and can say it definitely lives up to the hype! Ordered through Uber Eats and it came still warm, crumb was super crispy, and didn’t feel as greasy as I thought it was going to be. Overall delicious!
This 5 star rating is based on 95% value alone. Just ate a delicious, crispy, moist, FLAVORFUL, spicy chicken sandwich for $6.51, what a fantastic value in these times of skyrocketing food prices. The sandwich was also good size, nice thick piece of chicken. Service was quick and efficient, only a 5 minute wait for my sandwich. If you want a delicious chicken sandwich and don't want to shell out $15-$20 for it, head to Popeyes!
20 mins before closing they served me up a fresh chicken sandwich. Easy
My favorite boba place in SF, been to this store 5+ years. The drinks here are consistently great. The lines can get long, which happens a lot, but I honestly don't mind the wait. My go-to favorites are the strawberry matcha latte and the classic milk tea with boba. You'll notice the service changes a bit since they have a ton of different part-timers, but the taste of the drinks is always solid. Totally recommend it!
I have been here many times in the past, usually when I am in the area or if I am craving for some boba. Most of the times there is a line, since they are well known and not many boba shops are in the area. They offer many unique drinks to choose from, everything is made to order which is a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The staffs here are welcoming, well trained and polite where each of my visits were easy going and I had never encountered any issues. I highly recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, if you are looking to try something new of if you just need a refresher. I definitely will be back to tryout the other uniquely delicious drinks they have to offer.
I ordered and really enjoyed their signature drink Strawberry Matcha Latte. It’s a layered drink that consists of Organic premium-grade matcha, your choice of milk and their housemade strawberry puree. I added their boba to my drink. It is always delicious. You get small pieces of strawberry in the jam, which makes it taste very fresh and tasty. The matcha itself earthy and sweet, but subtle. You can choose from a variety of milks like organic whole milk, oat milk, coconut milk and almond milk. I usually get their organic whole milk. I really love their boba. It’s perfectly chewy, slightly sweet and always tastes fresh. I have never had a bad experience with their boba, and I’ve been coming to this location for a few years now. This location is small and cozy. Space to enjoy your drinks and food is limited. They offer delivery through third-parties, and you can order ahead for pickup. It’s located right next to Liquor & Deli on Union Square. There’s a parking garage right across the street, which you would have to pay for. Paid parking on the street is very limited. There is no free parking around or near this location. Staff is friendly, helpful and prompt. There are times that line is out the door, but they usually knock it out fairly quick. I have yet to try their Korean Banana Milk drink, but I hear it’s delicious!
As an avid fan of banana milk 🍌🥛, I knew I had to try the Boba version of Korean Banana milk. After trying it three times across 3 different locations, I am happy to report it is now my favorite thing on the menu! 😅 The drink is made with a homemade banana jam combined with oat milk, which makes the drink both dairy and caffeine free. The drink has a very strong sweet banana flavor which I appreciated. I also tried the Strawberry Matcha Latte (their signature drink!) and the Rose Black Tea (not pictured), both of which were very good as well! Their American-made boba is both soft and chewy, just the perfect boba texture. Now I’m just waiting for them to open a location in Texas… 👀
Boba Guys is a must try! One of the best boba shops I’ve tried - and we have tried plenty. They have unique flavors you won’t find elsewhere and I hope someday they’ll span some store to TX! We got the Korean banana milk tea w boba and matcha strawberry milk tea w boba. Very tasty and filling. The drinks were not too sweet and I’ve had matcha + fruit milk teas before that can be overpowering w one flavor but Boba Guys did a great job of balancing this drink; you taste the matcha and lingering sweet strawberry taste afterwards. Delicious! Well worth the wait. We arrived around 12pm and saw that there boba was still be made; unavailable until 1pm. Had a flight to catch but we stuck around the area & I’m so happy we were able to make this our last stop! Heard that the lines can be out the doors sometimes so make sure you order ahead or spare some waiting time in case you get here on a busy day.
Simple place with only a counter to order but it is the freshest boba with fast service! We ordered three different drinks, the vanilla macha and strawberry macha drinks were great, all our drinks were done under 10 minutes! We loved the drinks just wish we could sit and enjoy but the drinks were awesome! I will visit again!
This was definitely the best thing I tried while in SF. Reasonably priced and delicious. They make their own tapioca and experiment with so many different flavours of bubble tea. I tried multiple on my trip (pictured below). One of the best things for me is that they use regular milk instead of condensed milk (except in their HK milk tea). The line might seem long but usually goes pretty quick since it moves 4-5 people at a time.
Everyone talks about Boba Guys and for good reason. There are none near us, so we knew we had to try it when we were in San Francisco. We got to this location at 12:30 about 30 minutes after they opened on a Saturday. The line was already out the door. We waited about 15 minutes to order. We decided to go with two of their seasonal drinks. I got the Black Sugar Hojicha with boba and my husband got the Caramel Milk Tea with boba. I was actually disappointed with the caramel. The flavor was kind of bland. I've never really had a good caramel milk tea though (surprisingly). The Black Sugar Hojicha was delicious though. The flavor was great. The biggest thing that stands out to me is their boba. It tastes better than any other boba I've had. They also don't use powders which improves the flavor. The only reason I'm sad we came here is because now I'll be disappointed when I get bubble tea anywhere else.
This place is amazing! First of all, prepare to wait for at least 30-40 minutes! Second of all, it's worth the wait! 😊 I tried the Horchata flavored one and it was great! They are really delicious and you can definitely taste the quality. Definitely a must have if you're in town. They have a website as well, so look at it as your waiting in line. The best part, it is one block away from Union Square! 🤙

It’s a Popeyes, the quality is as expected. The location has a few indoor seats, and some shambolic energy, but surprisingly fast service. I got a chicken sandwich in like 3 minutes.
The spicy chicken tenders are amazing with a good spicy sweet/sour sauce & they reheat well in an air fryer. I ordered from Uber Eats & they didn't give me a breast substitution I paid for. (UPDATE REVIEW 1/10/22): Uber Eats order was old chicken, not spicy as ordered, greasy, watered down red beans/rice, missing breast substitutions I paid for and missing coleslaw. This is the 2nd bad online order I've gotten from this location. It's obvious that they don't deliver fresh chicken unless you happen to order when they have cooked it. Last time ordering delivery. Edit 6/1/24 THEY GAVE ME OLD CHICKEN THAT WASNT SPICY, check your bag guys.
Food was great! But a little messy in the store. Not to mention the area 😅
It's your typical city Popeyes - pretty grimy, usually pretty busy, but it gets the job done. I came at a pretty busy time of the evening on a weekday and I was in and out in about 25 minutes. The chicken and fries were tasty as usual for Popeyes. The sitting area is not exactly the cleanest, but for takeout purposes there really isn't anything to complain.
I went in to get two chicken wings and some fries and when I got home realized they had given me six. That's always a plus LOL. Plus the food was good hot and fresh. I've always had good experiences at this Popeyes.
This is a small facility with limited sitting areas. Parking is also limited since the disbanded Safeway conned all most the parking lot. Friend chicken burgers were excellent with crunchy skin with excellent price at 2 for $10. Please note: it's address is at Fillmore Street but the entrance to the facility is on the parking lot side.
I came in the other day ordered two chicken wings got home and had six so I was happy
Get your chicken and don’t expect service here. Spicy chicken breast awesome, don’t forget to order online with coupons and deals
Might have been my own fault because I was trying to be a bit more adventurous but I ordered the Korean banana milk oat latte or whatever and it tasted like straight banana bread. It wasn't bad but I wish the flavor was more subtle. Do not recommend unless you LOVE bananas. The boba however was warm, fresh, and delicious! Drink: 5/10 Value: 5/10
Boba Guys has always been a prominent boba spot for several years now and I am glad that the quality and taste is still there. I've only always ordered their Classic drinks like the Jasmine Green, …
Their strawberry matcha with honey boba (sub oat milk) is always delicious, and this location is no exception! Perfect sweet treat and one of my favorite boba drinks in the bay!
Got the strawberry matcha latte which was pretty good. Only thing though was that I asked for no ice when ordering online, however they gave me ice. Not a big deal but I prefer no ice because as it…

I like the sesame ginger latte. I chose coconut for my drink and it's good!\n\nTip: If you order online, it won't give you an option to do no ice but in store you can.
Boba Guys offers boba with a hipster concept. I got the matcha latte iced with 50 percent sugar. order online because of covid. It took 4 minutes maybe. The guy at the store was nice and said I rem…
These people always want higher pay but can’t even do a simple task. I order 3pc chicken tenders with fries and sweet tea. How I end up with 3pc fried chicken with rice and beans. Where’s the biscuit?! Didn’t even give me my sweet tea. Then again it’s my fault for not checking my order before leaving, when I know these people are incompetent.
It is a very busy location so expect a few missing items in your order, which happened half of the time. The staff are usually doing their best to get the orders out.
A tiny Boba Guys tucked away in a corner of the Union Square area. I haven’t had boba guys in while, and during my visit yesterday, I tried a heated boba drink for the first time. While the hot black milk tea with boba wasn’t my favorite, and I’ve tasted better, it was good. The tea flavor was strong, the milk was sweet, and the pearl melted to a soft chewiness, however it was hard to mix the drink well with the cup provided. My thoughts have been mostly positive thus far, but what makes me lean toward a 3 rating is the price and portion. My drink ended up costing about 7 dollars for a 16 oz cup, which is actually really bad when you compare it to what other boba shops offer. That is a small cup. Even Sharetea, which is stupidly expensive, at least has a bigger regular size. I probably would not come again with the other options I have. Overall, Boba Guys makes decent quality drinks, but it is not the place to go you’re looking for bang for your buck on boba. 3/5.
My overall experience was not great. The quality of the drink was good and I enjoyed it, but they need to work on customer service. The inside of the restaurant was nice and clean. To be honest I would feel more comfortable if we could see them make the drinks, this is one of the few places where they make the drinks in the back of the restaurant. Again the quality was good, but the long line and the service haven’t convinced me to return.
I wanted to like this place so bad. Unfortunately I don't get the hype. Their boba is good, but I feel like the drinks are just alright. Very busy line, but the service here is quick.\n\nWe ordered…

I got takeout from Popeyes using Uber Eats, expecting a super spicy and tasty meal. But, sadly, it didn't turn out as I hoped. I ordered 6 Ghost Pepper Wings and 8 Spicy Signature Chicken pieces, with coleslaw and a small Coca-Cola®. I was really looking forward to the spicy wings and chicken, but they weren't spicy at all. It felt like they forgot to add any spice. As someone who loves spicy food, it was a big disappointment. The 8-piece Spicy Signature Chicken wasn't as exciting as it sounds. It was dry and not very flavorful. I was hoping for a bold and tasty experience, but it didn't happen. Overall, the meal didn't live up to my expectations, and it left me wanting more flavor.
Food & staff are great but it's not a good place to have have a dining experience. The place, inside & outside, are filthy and littered with trash left behind by the kind of patrons they have in the area. Homeless & thugs come in & out and litter the place.
Food is decent, but the service is consistently terrible. I’ve been to this Popeyes on multiple occasions, and no one ever greets you when you walk in. I usually have to approach the counter to ask if my order is ready—and most of the time, it isn’t. After waiting an extended period, I’ll check again, and often the food has been sitting there ready with no one bothering to notify me. I’ve also had my order made incorrectly multiple times, so I now check my bag before even driving away. Parking lot is also a little sketchy and run down.
Came in today to grab a Passion fruit Fresca. It was insanely sour and I had to throw it away after one sip. I often go to this location. In the past month the quality has gone absolutely downhill.…
Boba guys as a whole is good, but do NOT order ahead to this location. I pre ordered last week to have a delivery of 15 drinks sent to my office for a work event. They accepted the order and I even…
I ordered HOT boba tea for delivery they made me COLD boba tea on rainy day. Waited 45 min for wrong drink. I threw it into the trash can!
The staff was extremely rude, and the service was unacceptably slow. I waited 45 minutes for a single order, and there was no communication or concern shown during the wait. Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers are also customers, but the staff treated drivers disrespectfully and acted unprofessionally. Overall, there was a clear lack of customer service and accountability. Very disappointing experience.
Ordered bigger box from DoorDash and it turned out to be a bad idea. Chicken was dry and tasteless. There was more wings to make up for 10 pieces so didn’t get the value for the money. Very disappointed.
I was over halfway through my 5 piece tender meal when I looked down and saw a ripped, blackened fingernail that had been underneath one of the tenders. I don't typically complain about food but this was disgusting and straight up a health violation. I've reached out to Popeyes for some kind of reimbursement, as my boyfriend and I got nauseous at the sight of this and did not want to finish the $30 worth of food we purchased.
Horrible bubble tea. As an Asian who has drunk many bubble teas, this is one of the worst. I ordered the classic milk tea with 50% sweetness. It has no tea flavour, very watered down and extremely sweet. The boba was ok. I had bubble tea from Feng Cha Teahouse the other day it was so much better.
Consistently extremely watered down boba tea. I ordered 50% sugar. Can’t taste the milk or tea, mostly just sugar taste. Ordered 25% of sugar, tasted likely water. I’ve given the store several chance as I like their boba texture and the store is famous, but nope, the drink was a disappointment.
Real review by an Asian guy. If you have drunk real bubble tea, I do not want to recommend their bubble tea. I have drunk bubble tea from Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore. It is nothing like those from Asian countries. Plus, it is much pricier. 7 dollars for a bubble tea? It is insane. I doubt they even put milk in it. If you are just going to ignore my comment and want to try no matter what, I recommend you go with 50% or 75% sweetness.
Terrible boba and completely overpriced. The drinks were underwhelming— the boba texture was off, and the tea flavor was insipid & just wasn’t there. Their big selling point is that they use Straus milk, but honestly… so does everyone else now. It’s nothing special, and definitely not worth the premium price. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re just looking for a trendy spot with no expectations for quality.
