POPO

After going here for a few months I have slowly lost faith in POPO.
My fist time in February I was pretty satisfied! the Boba was really hitting a craving. After a few weeks of going there I ordered food (Brocolli beef) and although it took about 15min to cook, everything tasted amazing.

After a month or 2 the restaurant showed its true colors. They have a drive through thats open once a month and its really frustrating. We ordered the Brocolli beef again and the Brocolli was moldy and the beef was grey. Also the staff forgot that we ordered and so we waited 45minutes for expired food. The drinks starting becoming inconsistent either the Boba was old or the boba tasted burnt the drinks were crazy sweet or just milk and the oreo crumble is just dust. We tried their milk buns and you could taste the stale bread mixed with fryer oil. Although the staff are super nice they're on their phones a ton which was one of the reasons why they forgot our orders. I sadly had to give up on POPOs when my drink had Boba that tasted earthy and I was throwing up the rest of the night.

Pops has the potential but it's currently not there. I bet some of their other drinks are consistent and good. For now I'll just make my own Boba tea but after trying the restaurant for a few months just be aware and don't order food.

If it was possible to give 0 star, I would. Super dirty. It’s like they have never tried cleaning their store. So gross. Everything was covered in musty dust. I do not know if the needed specialists even check this place for cleanliness. Literally have no idea how people were eating there without getting the ick. I have never seen that much of a dirty service place in my life. I would never ever go back to get Boba from this place ever again.

Where to start....? This was the WORST meal I've had in years. We placed an order for calamari, yakisoba, milk buns and a bubble tea. $35 + tip. OK. We sit there and wait for about 10 minutes for bubble tea that arrived separated (blended ice on top, pure tea underneath) with undercooked boba (they had brown spots and were hard). But they offered us a new bubble tea and it came out just fine.

35 MINUTES after ordering, we finally received our food. In that time, 5 other groups came in, ordered and left before we even saw our food. Anyways, the calamari was disgusting - grey, slimy, unseasoned, and undercooked. Yakisoba noodles were overcooked and mushy, broccoli was undercooked and hard, and the chicken was also unseasoned/slimy/low quality. The ONLY saving grace were the milk buns which are literally premade and just need to be heated to serve.

We informed the staff of how bad it all was, which they weren't that concerned about. Then we threw away half our food and walked out. Avoid at all costs.

Milk tea and Mint chocolate tea is good one!
I didn't like their smoothies.

The college cashiers are super nice. Boba drinks hit the spot as always. Please everyone try the sesame red bean balls. They came out a little crispy/hard than I would like but it's super good if you have never had it

Ordered 2 drinks- 1 oolong milk tea and 1 green tea lemon tea. The oolong milk tea was too milky, not sweet enough, the boba was undercooked and was just lacking in flavor. The lemon tea was too lemony yet also too sweet ( tasted like straight lemon juice with a little bit of sugar). Neither of the drinks had ice in them and were room temp when served. I am seriously questioning how this place is still in business.

Went to this place 3 times, and the bobas are made wrong every time.
I don't taste any tea in my drinks.
And it taste so watered down.
Please fix this.

Decent place for a quick snack, and i like their hot pot. You can choose your own seats and the staff is competent and friendly.

I go here a few times a month and it’s always really good. Sometimes the texture of the boba varies, and once they’ve run out of boba. But overall, it’s a great spot with a lot of great milk tea flavors. Highly suggest the rose milk tea!

I dont understand why you guys keep saying their boba is good. It is literally the worst boba I have ever tried. The Hong Kong style tea tastes just like water, pearls are undercooked, the herb jelly does not have any flavour. I wish I can give 0.
