| - Crossed my fingers for good boba in Vegas and this was the first place I go to. I figured with this many reviews and 4 stars, it had to be amazing right? So I drove to Chinatown, parked near the Chinatown Mall, and went off to search for the place.
When searching for the place, it's camped out in the back of the mall, so don't expect it to be in the front just because there's a sign at the mall that tells you where you can find it.
When I came in, I ordered a Honeydew slush, which I assumed would be good, because I tried plenty of boba places in California when I lived there. When I ordered, I misheard the lady and thought she was charging me 6.95 for a second. Maybe it was the accent, but it really threw me off. When I gave her 7, she looked at me and laughed, then told me it was 3.95, not six. I swore, I heard six originally, but of course, this isn't part of the review, just filler.
Once things were cleared up, I left a dollar for tip and just sat there for a bit before getting the slush. It seems they also offer more than just tea, but an arrangement of candy and bakery goods as well, but I didn't buy any of it.
When I got the slush, I took a sip and drumroll please!

It was absolutely mediocre. Sure, it wasn't too sweet or anything, but the texture wasn't smoothed out at all. There were frequent fragments of the drink that I wouldn't have an issue elsewhere. There was barely any flavor and it made me miss California. I think they're known for other drinks? However, in terms of their Honeydew slush, I would never order it again and I might want to be more safe and try out another place.
I keep on hearing it's great for the boba, but as a person who mainly goes for the tea itself, I don't order anything with boba.
I'm sorry, maybe I'll try it out with a different set of employees, but I felt let down and mislead by the name of the place.
