Love the spicy popcorn chicken and the jasmine boba tea. I go here at least once a week. Parking is horrible but other than that the service is good.
Popcorn chicken is delicious and the spicy level is actually spicy. It has huge portions too. I will come back again. The milk tea is fine
The staff here have always been helpful and friendly (even when I mis-ordered). The food is great for the most part - their popcorn chicken is the standard I hold other popcorn chickens against. I'm not a huge fan of their octopus balls which are more fish balls with the occasional piece of octopus floating around.
I got the sesame balls, curly fries, and an earl grey milk tea! It was all good! The boba was nice and squishy, the sesame balls were crispy, and the fries were well seasoned! The cashier was also super nice and just had a friendly personality!
We are usually here once a week. My little girl loves Boba and she wants to try them all. Pretty decent and fast. So many choices to choose. Not the best Boba in my life, but life is too short to complain. Enjoy it while you can.
I was greeted with a very friendly man and he was extremely patient with me even when I was stuttering to get my order together😂 He was polite and sweet! Not only was the service great but the the tea I ordered was also amazing. I ordered a iced Thai milk tea with black pearl boba, I thought the tea itself was amazing! I’ve had that tea several times at other places but this one really stood out! Also the boba in the tea was the best I’ve ever had, 100%. It was very well cooked and I was quite fond of it and hope I get a chance to visit there again! If you are thinking about going I would highly recommend🤣

We got the popcorn chicken and curling fries total was about 20 dollars and came out quick and hot. Seating was a little dirty but other then that this place rocks
Pretty decent boba but I really love the popcorn chicken, but overall a pretty nice shop, much love to the folks that work here.

Decent boba but the fried basil chicken was really fatty. Flavor was okay but the quality of chicken was not the best.
The tofu was bad, really salty tastes like someone pore 20 pounds of salt wanted to put more stars, but the tofu dropped a star, but the drinks are good

In terms of Boba, I don’t think Boba Ninja is particularly good — their teas are often packeted, and their boba has a strange texture. However, they do have 1 dollar happy hours on Snackpass, so I don’t think I can complain about the value that Boba Ninja can offer.
I order 12 pics of fried chicken wings most of them are not cook from inside still with blood and the oil their cooking on it is old or over used.thars why the chicken is taste burn oil.

I wanted so badly to like this place. The hours are perfect for someone like me who loves boba at any time of the day. I wanted to give the place one star, but the staff was nice. The boba tasted like nothing but concentrate, possibly the worst boba I have ever had. The quail wings (chicken wings, but the size is so tiny. You can eat them in one bite.) were terrible. When I think of lemon pepper, I don't think of syrupy sweet. I ate one wing and threw the rest away because nobody else in my house liked them. The dry fried ribs were okay, nothing to write home about. They were mostly the fatty part of the ribs. For $48, I expected so much better quality. I won't be going back.

Food is considered expensive consider how little they served. Taste is just regular, nothing fancy.
It milk tea tastes like water. I ordered a Classic milk tea, they do give an option for no ice since most boba places fill their milk teas with ice, so i picked the “no ice” option. Instead of filling up the space with milk, they just replaced the iced with water. Not it just tastes like water with some milk. Their boba pearls were okay and it’s not too sweet. I wouldn’t go back to this place for milk teas anymore, waste of money.
The drink I got was not what I had expected, which surprised me as I took my first sip. I got the Matcha tea and it tasted like grass. The texture was very weird as well. I was very disappointed because of my high expectations that I had due to the public opinion of the place.
