| - They have a newer location on Hurontario, which I wrote a review for. This is the original place where it was extremely packed and popular among high schoolers (including myself back in the day). Today it still remains popular having to wait a long time to get a seat. It's in a smaller, dimmer setting but the food here is much better than the Hurontario location (for example the brick toast, fried chicken on rice, as well as sesame paste noodles are my recommendations for what to eat).
The bubble tea is really something else - I like that it actually tastes like authentic Taiwanese milk tea and not just sugar and water, something other "cheaper" bubble tea places tend to go towards. It has a really complex and well-mixed taste to the tea - they really nail getting the perfect proportions to make an excellent drink. They also have a lot of specialty drinks that can't be found elsewhere.
I am biased towards my drink which is a classic: ORIGINAL MILK TEA + ALOE VERA (I like that they have a variety of jellies/tapioca) + LESS ICE (nice degree of customization).
Same negatives as other locatIon: really packed, might be a long wait to get a table (especially evenings), sometimes incompetent waitresses, really loud environment full of teenagers, and minimum $3.79 purchase to be there. If you can deal with all that, try this for yourself! Go to the Hurontario location if you prefer a slightly shorter line-up, brighter lighting, and more space.
