Oasis Tea Zone

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. My dad used to take us to Oasis all the time when we were younger to get bubble teas. It's one of those places that's been around forever for as long as I can remember in Chinatown. My siblings and I are older now, out of college, and working jobs and my dad, well he's aged. He can't drive anymore but still insists on taking our bubble tea order (it'll rotate but usually it's a green apple slush for my brother and a jasmine milk tea for my sister and I) and he'll bus down there and pick up these drinks for us. Mind you, he's old and hard of hearing and maybe not seeing so well, but he really enjoys the nostalgia of going to Oasis and getting bubble tea for his kids. My dad is a long time customer of Oasis and I know the staff treat him nice there, despite his limited English and (sometimes) disheveled appearance, with his flimsy paper and his kid's drink orders written down. So thank you so much to Oasis and all the staffing there for helping him take the order. As for the quality of Oasis drinks and food items. They've all been very consistent to my knowledge. Throughout the years, more and more new bubble tea shops have popped up. Oasis menu has grown and there is a huge selection. Drinks can be a hit or miss depending on preference but I have a few favorites I truly enjoy there. I really like their Thai milk tea, jasmine milk tea (at 50% sugar) because it can be a tad sweet, fruity pebbles shake is bomb, and recently I've tried a strawberry real fruit juice, that taste absolutely amazing! I expected it to be super sweet, but surprisingly, it was light and refreshing, not too sweet, and there were little bits of strawberry seeds like real bits of strawberry was blended in. Also, you can never go wrong with their popcorn chicken. It's totally a staple. Anyways, I highly recommend Oasis to everyone, it's a great place, awesome staff, and usually open later hours than most bubble tea places. If you're in the area, give them a try. There's a stereotype that they cater to teenagers and while that might be true, they've also got a very committed, loving dad as a customer, who loves going there to buy drinks for his now (adult) kids.

Typical bubble tea spots. LOTS of options and lots of seating. Could be a cool place for younger kids. I got a lavender milk tea with boba and it was perfectly sweet and the boba was really soft! Nothing too special though compared to more authentic options in the surrounding area.

Haven't been back here since probably middle school - and there have been many better quality boba shops to pop up since then. Although probably one of the least popular options now, they still stand out for their spacious layout and late hours, which maintains it a solid community spot where friends can mingle and play games (board games, as well as arcade games) - where alternatively most coffeeshops and restaurants would already be closed, leaving only expensive night bars to go to. They have also kept the space looking nice over the years, upped their decor. Service was also great, employee (girl) was friendly.Drink quality as mentioned earlier mostly stayed the same though (not good). There are a few fresh fruit options but generally just powders and syrups - and most drinks seem to be overly sweet at that. Surprisingly the HK tea was perfectly spot on with flavor and sweetness, but taro was definitely too sweet.Popcorn chicken used to be a solid go-to snack, but over the years it's basically doubled in price and quality's gone down - I feel like it's not as well battered/crispy as it used to be, lacked salt, as well as flavors (could really use some 5 spice and fried basil like how other shops do it taiwainese style). Usually asian popcorn chicken flavors should hold on their own without dip, but these were served with packs of sauce (honey mustard, ranch, ketchup, or superrr sweet gochujang) - and it needed it honestly. It was weak american style popcorn chicken. Sad, since I used to love it here.Overall, would return but just if I needed a late night spot, and just for the HK milk tea.

Came here after dinner and realized it was the only boba place open in the area. I was surprised to see that they had several flavors and different types of drinks to choose from. Sometimes it can be hard to get boba if you're looking for something that has non-caffeinated options. They also had some arcade games and board games to play. I decided to try the almond milk tea with boba and liked it a lot. I would definitely come back here.

This place is a staple of the International District in Seattle. Although it may not be the absolute best boba in Seattle, I somehow return to it time and time again. Possibly because it's in such a convenient location, near delicious restaurants or because it's super casual and has a large menu.Walking into Oasis, it is fairly big, with lots of seating and games (pin ball machines, pool, and board games). They have three/four screens of menus showing all kinds of drinks and foods. Service is alright, but they are very fast with your drinks which is a plus! The only downside I can think of is that there isn't wifi, so it isn't really a place where you can go and do work. However, it's great if you have a boba craving or are in the area!

My family and I stopped by here yesterday and we loved it!! We loved how they used real fruit.My aunt ordered the durian fruit smoothie and you could most definitely smell the durian when they cut it open.We also ordered mango snow & slush and a strawberry slush and enjoyed them all. Will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the area again!

This place had over a thousand 4.5 star reviews on google, so I had high hopes-- but we were very disappointed. The service was fast, but the drinks were not good. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea with boba and lychee jelly. The drink was overly sweet and the boba quality was sub-par. They either forgot to put the lychee jelly or it was lychee syrup-- but we were already too disappointed in the drinks to even ask for a replacement. They have a selection of board games to play, but many were missing pieces or very worn out. There's also a good amount of tables/seats, but can get very busy.

The boba teas are very typical and tasted cheap made. The place is nice and big but also grossly dirty everywhere. The tables and floors are very sticky and the bathroom is even worse. The popcorn chicken is good. But the boba tea is definitely overpriced and cheaply made.

The boba was pretty on par with Seattle pricing, which was overpriced. The tea and boba was nothing notable, but it wasn't bad. I would probably would not return, but the place is nice and spacious with a working bathroom.

I got the worst food poisoning from the popcorn chicken. Food handling safety standards?
