TLDR: Boba cafe and Thai restaurant combined, discount for students, ample study space with wifi
Jackie Bee has become a safe haven for students that want their boba fix, but don't want to travel farther than CSN West Charleston. We've eaten there a couple of times around the evening and have always been promptly greeted with friendly service. Sometimes they run out of things at night such as Thai coffee l, so be sure to come before they run out. My drinks have always been made spot on and their boba is okay. Sometimes they are older and not of better quality, but still palatable compared to most. Their plantation tea is signature and is unique to the facility.
The restaurant side has been touch and go. Most things are previously frozen and reheated. One time we had to ask their kitchen to cook the steamed dumplings longer because they were still frozen in the middle. Their soups are oily, but seemed representative of Northern Thailand-style cooking.
If you're looking a late-night place, I think you can feel safe coming here; however, if you're already in Chinatown, just stay there for food and drink.
