I only come here for ONE thing: their bubble tea. They've had a BOGO free special (take out only) forever now and it's the only thing I would get here. I tried their food once and it was overpriced and not good quality. Their desserts look very good.
It's a Chinese place so don't expect much in terms of service. In fact, expect really bad service. I personally don't mind. I'd had a few awkward moments with some of the servers. Whatever. I'm Asian. I'm used to it. As long as I get my food/drinks and it tastes good, I'm happy.
Is the bubble tea good? Mostly yes. I've tried almost all of them. I like how they have some unique selections I can't find elsewhere. I especially love their Tiramisu bubble tea, and their oreo bubble tea.
There are 8-9 bubble tea stores in the area and Mabu is the only one with a BOGO free special at the moment. I really don't know why there's no line up for it. I'm guessing the service turns people away.
