I've always been a huge fan of No1 Boba Tea over in China Town so I was ecstatic to hear that they had this Henderson store which is much closer to where I live. The thought of being able to satiate my boba cravings more often (instead of having to wait until I had something else to do on the west side of town) was very good news indeed.
Unfortunately, No1 Boba Tea at the Eastern Ave location just wasn't up to par for me. I always get the coconut smoothie with boba and lychee jelly. China Town serves it up quick, perfectly and with gracious smiles. Eastern? Not so much.
Ordered my usual coconut with boba and lychee jelly. There was only one other party ahead of me (three drinks) and yet the cashier seemed harried, as did the two others who were making the drinks. No smiles. No greeting. Looking very irritated to be there. Ugh...minus one star for the non-stellar customer service.
While waiting, I used the restroom. No toilet paper and no paper towels. Ugh...minus another star for, well, you know.
The drink came and while it tasted fine, it was barely frozen. After 5 minutes of driving with the AC blasting, my smoothie had turned completely liquid with a bunch of boba and jelly piled at the bottom. Ugh...yet another star subtracted.
They receive two stars from me...one for the fact that they actually have lychee jelly (most places don't) and the other star for their comfy chairs near the pick-up window.
As much of a long haul as it is for me to go to the other side of town, I'll pass on this store and head to China Town for all my boba and lychee jelly needs.
