Quickly - Kobe Bento

They have a variety of boba and drink flavors, snacks and bento bowls. The teriyaki chicken is tried-and-true and delicious when it comes packed on top of rice in a steaming hot bento bowl. The popcorn chicken is really good and quickly delivered to you in a very hot, packed to the top, wax paper baggie (like baggies that they put fries in, just bigger). It seem that the "snacks" are the different types of proteins without being with rice like the bento bowls. Whatever you choose, it will warm you up for sure. It is a little small when ordering and sometimes people sit in the area where you order and so it's it can be a little chaotic if it's busy and very crowded but that didn't prevent me from receiving my food fairly quickly every time. They do have a dining room upstairs that you can go sit and eat and watch the street people from. Your $5 will go far with the low prices as they do serve a considerable amount of food.

Gonna come back often. Food is good and portion size. Mango Escape is good as well.

Food is good, good price, large serving and chicken is not chewy like a lot of places

Been going to this place for a few years. Excellent boba and snacks. Need to try other items soon

Love this place. It's my goto. Affordable and big portions for the price. The ladies are always accommodating. We've become friendly because I come often. I always go upstairs, enjoy my food, take a break from life, people watch from across the street. I actually hesitate to make this review for a long time now because I don't want too many people crowding there. But they deserve it. I always get the classic milk tea, jumbo, with boba and popcorn chicken bento. Yum!

My kids love quickly so we are happy this place is here. Order on the kiosk was AMAZING. Don’t forget to buy a bag with your order for take away food. Wish the had sauce options for pop corn chicken and cotton candy snow flavor. We had delicious tea and snacks and great up stairs seating area.

I discovered this awesome little eatery from my colleagues while in being in San Francisco for work related travel. The popcorn chicken is fantastic. Items I've tried: Popcorn chicken 10/10 Thai Milk Boba 9/10 Tiger Milk Boba 8/10 Fried Fish Cakes 10/10 Fried Cheese Sticks 10/10 Fried Lobster Balls 8/10 Fried Shrimp 9/10 White Snow Vanilla with Boba and lychee 10/10 Fried Mushroom 8/10 Sesame Balls 9/10 Spam Musashi 10/10 Bento Spam and Fried Egg 8/10 Vietnamese Coffee 10/10 As you can surmise, I visited this place a LOT. I'm here for a few more weeks. Aiming to try as many new things on the menu as my personal taste adventure will allow. The slight dings on the service and atmosphere are due to the differences in service welcome when I come in to pick up my orders. Most of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. On a couple of occasions despite the fact that I consistently order well over $25 each time and through their app, I encounter a couple older staff members that react as if being inconvenienced by the order and pick up. I always forget to take pictures for this place but there are definitely plenty out there. If I can remember on my next visits, I'll upload.

Best shop in town. Highly recommend. There can sometime be a wait but it's always worth it. The popcorn chicken comes in a little pouch that can perfectly fit in the pocket of your suit jacket. Comes in handy for those business meetings that should have been emails.

very good and fast! worker was very nice and seating is accessible for such a small store!

I recommend trying the fried bananas. They look like egg rolls on the outside, but they’re pretty good for a snack.

Great, cheap food and friendly service. They stop serving food 10 minutes before close I was told so don’t order too last minute.

A little sticky but always good! Awesome second floor seating to people watch! And close to everything in downtown!

They have panda milk tea( milk tea with black and white(agar) boba). Can't go wrong with anything here. One of the best thing about this place is their popcorn chicken. It came in good size chunks, temperature hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have condiments so you and add extra chili powder, chili sauce, vinegar or anything to customize the popcorn chicken to your liking

Not only does Quickly offer you the appetizing bites, but also the soft white rice bowl to place your filling stomach. With such, milk iced tea will also come in handy as always.

One of the original classic bobba place. This one is located in the Chinatown San Francisco, just in the corner. It has upper level seating ad the store only has small counter with tv to entertain costumer. Place is lil cramped which is quite typical for San Francisco. Tv usually played Asian music either Korean or Chinese. They offer snack and quick bites and easy meals.

Affordable Asian style fast-food snack store. Expect 10 to 15 minutes for your order during busy hour, which is around late night.

This is my favorite Quickly of all. I’ve been to my local Quickly stores and other Quickly stores on the Peninsula, but this one will always be my favorite. I have never been disappointed by what I order here. It’s not the most comfortable or spacious Quickly if you are looking to dine-in, but the food is good and the drinks are good. When I order my go-to strawberry black tea with boba, they always get my requested sweetness right. Plus, the tea tastes fresh and the flavor is never too overbearing or artificial-tasting. The pearl-tea ratio is great too. The service is fast even if there are multiple orders ahead of yours, unlike some other Quickly stores I’ve been to. I think what makes this Quickly so special to me is its location. It is close to Chinatown, North Beach, and the Transamerica Pyramid, all fun areas to relax and enjoy the boba. Overall, I’ll be coming again and again. 4/5.

I go after school most days before walking home or volleyball games and practice, and I get the guava snow with oreo crumble, and it's really good. The only thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 is the prices. Don't get me wrong about the inflation issue, but like some of the prices are unreasonable. They should lower it. Go here if you have the money but the workers are really nice. Just go to Starbucks, it's more reasonable there.

This is a decent Quickly. I stopped by to pickup a snack after lunch, a popcorn chicken $8.50. They have a self-ordering ipad station now. The portions seemed smaller than their Irving St. location. The wait about 15+ minutes. They weren't that busy either. When I got a text saying the food is ready, the cashier allowed someone else to get my food. I had to wait another two minutes for the other person's order to come out. The cashier should have checked. The popcorn chicken tasted OK. It needed a lot of red powder.

I tried their yogurt drink and popcorn chicken. The yogurt drink was ok and tasted a little diluted. The popcorn chicken was great- freshly fried and good portions.

Had a good iced matcha drink with boba. Next time I will try their food. The downstairs counter area is very small and cramped, but they do have an upstairs where you can sit. When I visited it was very hot inside though, so I took mine to go.

Small whole in the wall place with affordable boba tea. From fruity iced tea to extraordinary milk shakes. I usually come here for the passion fruit or lemon green tea. The lemon green tea comes with some lemon slices. Love the fact that Quickly offers a bunch of different jelly options. If you prefer your drink not too sweet, let the staff know in advance since they usually don’t ask. If you just go for one drink, please bring cash.

Place seemed ok, bubble tea tasted pretty good but the straws were just sitting out without plastic packaging??? Picked up two straws and they were both dirty / had lint on them. Ended up going home to use my own bubble tea straws. Be prepared for this / bring your own straw if that bothers you.

Cheap eats and drinks. Love their popcorn chicken and cheese sticks. Milk teas I usually get their special which is less than $2 for a regular cup without topping.

CASH ONLY! Not much snack option for an Asian cafe yet it was pretty good in taste. The seating area was a bit noisy and small. Thai tea was really good though!

I ordered the soya pork bento, which is really just meat and rice without any veggies or sides, which given its price makes sense but I was expecting a little more. Also ordered the calamari ring, it’s ok but not super flavorful and seasoned.

Food is awesome! But if you want to spend 20 minutes waiting for 2 Egg Puffs this is the right place! Located in Chinatown this amazing Quickly doesn’t have restrooms for the customer, I don’t blame them, it must be hard to keep up with so many people, so this is just information. If you want to eat there and also pee, you’ll be able to do only the first.

Mostly chose this place because it was close by, no crazy line, and was good for take out. I think for the price and convenience, it was decent. Bento box is really just a rice bowl: rice + entree. I also ordered a coffee milk tea with boba. I wish I didn’t order the boba because it wasn’t a fan of the texture of their boba. Overall, not bad, but not great

Sorry but their milk tea taste like water, and the egg puff taste like bread.

Chicken quality is extremely low. You don’t pay much but the meat is clearly old/not good.

Quick cheap eats and drinks at low prices but you get what you pay for. Do not order food from here. I ordered a fried pork chop bento, curry fish ball, and egg puff but threw it out after a couple of bites bc it was really bad.

The bottom floor is cramped and there's too many pictures of food everywhere. This location only takes cash, which sucks in this day and age. For their hot drinks they just scoop up the cold version and microwave it. Worst Quickly's in SF.

I went here wanting some milk tea with boba. I bought a large milk tea with boba for about 2 dollars. The milk tea was mediocre compared to Quickly or Teaway. Not coming back.

I only had the boba tea, so that's all I can really comment on. It was just ok. The tarro root tea was very light, but the mango milk tea was great. Not too sweet and not flavorless. The staff were also quick. Place is small and can have a lot of traffic. Parking is street parking.

The popcorn chicken was bad... Didn't even have fresh basil which is a must for Taiwanese style.

The worst food I have ever tasted. It can’t be worse, completely gross. Milk tea is not good either

Ice plus milk does not equal milkshake. It was advertised as having Dryers Ice Cream as the base. I would not go here again or recommend any go.

I've been to Quickly before at the location by my house, so when I was craving a simple boba drink after dinner I decided to stop by this location. This location is oh so disappointing and dirty. The store is very small and cramped and only accepts cash. Despite the unattractiveness of this location, I decided to get a drink anyways and ordered a large lychee (or how Quickly spells it "litchi") milk tea with boba. The drink was extremely milky and had barely any tea. The boba tasted like it was premade hours before. I couldn't even finish my drink and decided to throw it away with 2/3 left. Will not be coming back.

Paid $8 for octopus. Only half filled the bag. Food was mid. Would not go again. Very stingy.

Popcorn fried chicken was really gross, rubbery texture and no flavor. Didn't even finish half the portion, tossed the rest out. Save your money, DO NOT EAT HERE.

What a rip off, I asked for no ice on my drink and they added $1.20 for that! There was no straw, when I asked for one, they throw it at me on the counter. Don't support them anymore!!!!!
