Boba Queen

Boba Queen in Fremont is my spot for one thing and one thing only: the avocado smoothie. Here it's called Avocado Snow and $6.50. Other than the snow, the snacks are priced around $6-9, with the bentos at $12. I used to order calamari here but the prices have climbed a bit out of my price range. Ordering is pretty easy. You can use the kiosk if you're not in the mood to chat, or order with a person if you are. Would come here if you're a fan of Avocado smoothies.

Boba place in the same complex as 99Ranch. I went here a while back and remembered that I liked the popcorn chicken so figured I would go back. This place is kinda old. It makes me feel a little bit nostalgic for the old boba places like Tapex and Quickly back in the early 2000s. The huge board of menu items, the specials and the new seasonal items plastered all over the place. We got some fruit teas, popcorn chicken and squidheads. The popcorn chicken was delicious as expected. One serving was enough for two people. Very generous portions. Now the squidheads. Very Very fishy. I usually order squids with tentacles when I go to places like this so I knew what to expect. But the smell on this was stronger than usual. It also tasted a little funny so I ended up not finishing it. Overall, I will still come back, I do like everything else I get usually, I just won't order the squidheads again.

The snacks are solid. Our favorite is the popcorn chicken. Drinks are nothing remarkable. You can easily get better drinks elsewhere. Front staff needs much improvement. To the hiring and/or store manager: please train cashiers and customer facing staff that they are there to provide customer service. When a customer inquires on an order, apologize for the delay and offer to follow up instead of brushing the customer off. Your job is to retain business for your employer.

A lot of food and drink options, nothing exceptionally stellar but they do have some special, creative items that are consistently good and reasonably priced. They do seem understaffed at times so wait times can be a bit long.On the corner of this mall, stacked with Asian staples and delights, you'll find Boba Queen which took over what formerly was Quickly. Within walking distance to popular bus stops and other public services like the church, schools, and after school programs, this is a nice place to make a stop en route to your next destination.The interior is small, but still hosts a good number of seats and tables, although not many seem to be used during the times I've been around. This last visit was during the late morning and there were only two other patrons in the shop.Ordering is simple, that is after you've had a thorough look at their massive menu. As with many places nowadays, they have a kiosk to take in your order but they also do take cash orders through a typical register. Card transactions are only taken via the kiosk.They do have combos that include a snack and a drink (a limited selection of them) that does shave off a dollar or two from your meal. For drinks, you'll have the option to customize the size (small or large), ice level, sweetness level, and toppings (extra cost except for dirty boba which already comes with honey boba). Although despite asking for only half sweetness, the dirty boba was still quite sweet. May need to tone down the sweetness even further next time.As for food, that stood out to me was their selection of flavors for eggettes/egg puffs. We ended up getting the popping boba one and matcha/strawberry combo. Beware, however, each egg puff can take up to 10 minutes to make. Our order wasn't fulfilled until after 20 minutes of waiting (and after the other patrons who ordered just drinks got their order). I'm not sure how their other food or drink options turn out but I'm willing to come back and try. The quality is pretty good and price is perhaps a little above average. As it seems to be understaffed, I'd imagine the service level can be substandard during peak time or if they're receiving a lot of orders that involve making egg puffs. They do receive a fair bit of takeout orders so if you don't want to wait too long, that may be the way to go.The name fits for sure. It's definitely not the best you'll get in terms of quality, value, or service but it's good enough to be considered as another option for your boba fix. Egg puffs for sure are good, but be prepared to wait what feels like an eternity.

I love the snacks! The bowls! And the Selection of Boba drinks are amazing. Good service quick preparation times! Good hours!

I know the other reviews said that it took forever but it only took 10 minute for me. Ordered the original black tea and Thai tea with boba. I would definitely be back for sure.

My normal go to when I want some boba and a quick snack. I normally order the popcorn chicken or calamari combo which goes for $10.99 I believe. Can't go wrong with either one for a good price. Never had an issue with the staff from the many times I've been there and I've been helped by all of them at the register. When it's not busy, I'm usually in and out within 10 min. They renovated the inside so there's more seating. You can order online, at the kiosk, or at the register.

Decent boba drinks with lot of variety. No wow no disappointment. Just right. Service is quick and easy to order from the machine.

Didn't have the best experience here today. Food came out wrong and the drinks weren't up to their normal standard.The workers looked like they dreaded working here --It was empty (save one customer waiting for his order) as I walked in on a beautiful Wednesday. The ambiance was quiet, not much happening.Waited to be helped for a few minutes before a gentleman rounded the corner, looked at me, and went back to doing what he was in the middle of. Few minutes later, a young lady came from the back and asked for my order.She wasn't too friendly or welcoming. Gave blunt responses and had a detached, dreaded tone.My entire food order came out wrong --The order was clear:2 popcorn chicken, one friend calamari, and one hot and the other mild.Tiger milk tea with bobaBoth chickens came out with no spice, the dough on the calamari was undercooked, and the boba drink had only one layer coating the bottom.It wasn't the best but I already was in a rush, I couldn't wait for them to fix it.Overall, would have been a two stars but the last time I was here, the owner(?) was really nice.

The good:I tried a mango coconut delight under the slushy section. Their menu is huge and they have a lot more snack and food items than the average boba spot. They even offer bento boxes. You can adjust sweetness on all drinks (including the slushy). They seem to blend their smoothies to order rather than have it pre-made. They have outdoor seating areas and some high chairs inside (though it seems to be more for waiting than sitting and eating). They have a whole section for rose tea based drinks. The bad:I expected my drink to be both mango and coconut flavored but it's a coconut slushy with mango bits on top. The coconut slushy tasted like ice blended with sweetened coconut cream from the can. Overall, I think most folks might like it but that canned coconut cream flavor isn't my favorite and I wanted more mango. The wait for the smoothie was a little longer than I expected. The interesting:You can order from the cashier or using their iPad self-order kiosk. My boba cup had Baymax on top.
