Honey Express Bento & Tea

Simple foods. Very tiny retail spot with few tables/chairs. Taste here is 5/5 delicious and absolutely legit for convenient Taiwanese bento box options, fried snacks, other snacks, beverages, and more. Yes, I've had a few items and all of it was deliciously good, much better than expected. Self order at kiosk. Not too expensive. Beverage sizes are generous. Clean packing. Very good menu selections with photos. Small, but good place to grab and go. Cashier staff is always friendly and welcoming. She's quick and efficient, but there are times when orders can get queued and long wait times during rush hours. 5/5 Mango Milk Tea 5/5 Peach Smoothie w/Lychee Jelly4/5 Coconut Fresh Milk (drink it fresh or else it tastes different the next day after refrigeration)5/5 Fried Shrimp (wow, batter was not too thick or salty, so it's just the way I like it)5/5 Popcorn Chicken5/5 Teriyaki Chicken (this one surprised me because their teriyaki ingredient was very good tasting and chicken was soft/tender)Pretty good here. Parking lot is shared with gym folks and others, so it does get busy at times. Quiet around lunch hours. Small place feels quiet, low key, and never too crowded inside on weekdays. It's the perfect spot to swing by after the gym or while ordering pizza at Little Caesars. I would keep coming back if revisiting the neighborhood surrounding areas. Don't forget to check out their discounts or promotions prior to ordering. Positive feelings. Love this small place. Perfect for school aged children & young adults too.

Soooo underrated. Next to another restaurant and a gym. Interesting location- but very suburban too I guess lolKeep coming back for the orange chicken bento box. It's ~$14 or so I believe and adequate portions meaning I usually can't finish it in one setting! You can order via Snackpass. I really like the regular milk tea (no boba) - it's kind of nostalgic. Reminds me of when you're in high school and there are mom and pop boba places that serve drinks at $4-5. Well here it's closer to $5.50 but still much lower compared to the franchises :)) Plus even when ordering with food, my orders are made super duper quickly.

About a 3.5/5 at the time, which I will round up only because of service + pricing. Otherwise boba wise they seem fairly average. Service/Workers 5/5 - it did take a while for our drinks to be made but she was carefully measuring out the ingredients which was nice. She also ensured that the seal on the lids was perfect as I'm sure all boba fans have had a leaky seal at least once. Its definitely not fun if you don't find out until you're sitting in a car and shaking it. Pricing 4/5 - They beat out most of their competitors with drinks averaging 5-6 which is great since the Bay is seeing 7-8 now with a lot of popular spots being franchised up here. Ambiance 3.5/5 - Kinda small quaint seating I guess. Small speaker hidden playing some pop music. Parking (?) - Seems ample but this plaza seems kinda sketchy at night time, although being next to a gym probably helps.Boba Milk Tea 3.5/5 - Definitely nothing special but at the same time not bad. Realistically it felt a bit overly milky but would come back if I'm in the area and craving boba. Boba was cooked fairly well and had flavor to it, and tea itself is a bit weak if it's even there.Lots of their food options seem extremely fairly priced and I do have to go try them out to see another time if they do deserve staying at a 4 instead of rounding down.

I'm so happy another boba place opened up near me! This boba place is also very accessible compared to other shops, as it is located in a plaza with plenty of parking that's not too busy. I love it when it's easy for me to get good boba!The shop is very peaceful and provides decent seating. The server here was attentive and prepared our drinks quite quickly, and this was during their first few days of opening as well. I have only been here once so far, but it looks like they have a wide variety of drink options on their menu. They also provide some snacks to eat as well. I got the mango milk tea, and it did not disappoint. The consistency was a bit thick for a milk tea and was more like a smoothie. However, the taste was so floral and amazing, and I would definitely come here again!

Food: They're having a special on specific bento boxes. The fried fish and pork cutlet were tasty, and everything in the bento was seasoned, which is kind of rare. My brother and his girlfriend love their protein boba shakes.Service: self service: order on the touch screen then wait for them to call your number. Ambiance: quaint little clean shop. Definitely a mom and pop shop feeling. I haven't seen it get crowded, but I have seen a lot of people do take-out. tldr: fair priced bentos that taste good. They also have protein boba drinks (taro is the best).

Updated review, I'm willing to vouch honey express as a key location for Boba Milk Tea.I swung by here multiple times for a couple of key reasons. What looks like to be a small family joint is compensated for great value.The prices here are absolutely incredible. Every single item is affordable. To the point where it's relieving to know you aren't spending that much money? I'm always careful with places offering drinks at high prices, so honey express is superb for that.Added to this are the generous portion sizes. The drinks for example, have no small, medium, or large. Each drink comes in its own generous fairly larger size regardless of the requested ice level. No up charge for a bigger size? Super cool.Taste wise this joint is good, it's fairly better than the majority of locations around San Jose. It feels good to know you are aren't spending too much for great tasting items.

For those on a shoestring budget look no further than at Honey Express Bento & Tea a Taiwanese boba cafe just opened last month with a diverse menu items at an afforded price far cheaper than its competitors. Came by on a Friday morning light traffic and ample parking. I was greeted very warmly by the young ladies and offer a wide selection of drinks, bento and rice bowl. You can placed your order by using a self service kiosk or by cash. For drinks I chose watermelon ice tea regular ice 30% sweetness large size cup for $5.75 and for meals minced pork rice bowl $9.99 and six pieces of takoyaki balls $7.75. I wouldn't mind having minced pork rice bowl again generous portion fresh veggies and a slice of egg. Best of all they have a promo 25% off on pork cutlets and fish sticks would definitely be back so support your local business.

Good value. They have a special right now where a few of their bento boxes are discounted. I managed to get a fried chicken cutlet bento for under $11. They also sell rice bowls, onigiri/masubi, street snacks, and milk tea/boba drinks. Their bowls and bentos (whether discounted or not) are reasonably priced.Service is friendly. This is a very small restaurant with a few tables. Located in a plaza next door to Burrito Express and Little Caesars. I ordered to-go due to the heat wave we're having in the Bay Area right now. Having the restaurant door propped open for cooling purposes means gnats and flies inside, which is my pet peeve.

Service was fantastic. The price was good to drink more of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

Honey Express is located in the Foothill Square plaza and have taken over where Sancha Bar was. Plenty of parking here, as it seems like a quieter plaza. Exterior and interior a bit simple, but they do have a cute cup logo. Ordering is through the kiosk or on the app - it was nearly empty when I visited, so I received my drink fairly quickly. I ordered their Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba. Decent drink, not as creamy as I would had liked it to be with a slight bitter aftertaste. Overall, price was fair, especially for the cup size and I like that they gave a good amount of boba.
