| - I wanted to love Jasmine Express because I'm a huge boba fan. Unfortunately this place seems to be a bit sub-par.
The first time that me and my fiancee went here, we got two of the specialty boba drinks, both off of their "favorites" listed on the wall.
Anyone familiar with boba knows the difference between normal, fresh boba & boba that's started to break down because it's been sitting too long. Our boba balls seemed to be the latter.
My fiance's milk tea had a somewhat soapy flavor, and he didn't even finish it.
We chalked it up to a bad day at the restaurant. We gave the place another shot a few weeks later.
We tried to play it safe this time by just getting Thai tea with boba, and while it was okay, it was definitely some sort of pre-mix. There was no color differentiation from liquid creamer, so I suspect it was powdered creamer. You could taste something was off.
While we were sitting waiting for our tea, we saw a sign that said free Thai tea with order of crab ragoons (or something small like that, I don't remember specifically). It would have been much cheaper for us to order that way, as the food item was a few dollars less than a Thai tea by itself was, but our cashier said nothing about this deal when we were ordering.
Overall I'm pretty disappointed in Jasmine Express. Hope I can find a good boba place soon here!
