After living in Oakland a few years, this definitely became my go-to place to eat out. It's a bit pricier than some of the other cheap options for students, but it's well worth it for the amount of food that you get. The staff is friendly, the place has a good amount of seating, and I haven't found any other place that makes hot bubble tea--especially banana flavored. This place is the only reason I like bubble tea now. Their pineapple shrimp is also one of the best dishes I've ever eaten.
