Let me start off my saying I don't understand the big deal with bubble tea places at all. I'd rather pay $20 for a good meal than $10 for a sub-par non-alcoholic drink. Destiny's was the destination chosen by one of my friends for a Friday get-together. She had called ahead and asked to be seated upstairs which apparently had "VIP rooms". The person on the phone had told us that if we sat upstairs, we could play cards as well and upstairs seating meant a higher mandatory service charge.
Fast forward to 9:00, the time of our reservation. Finding parking was nearly impossible but we caught a lucky break after circling the lot for 10 minutes. One friend was already seated upstairs, waiting for the rest of us but the hostess at the front desk repeatedly claimed no one was upstairs at all. It turns out the hostess made a mistake because our friend was indeed waiting upstairs.
A few minutes after being seated, we ordered and our drinks arrived in plastic cups instead of the regular glass ones (probably due to the fact they didn't want to carry glasses up the stairs). A few friends ordered noodles off the menu that came in giant bowls. The verdict on the food was a positive one although I didn't order any food because the menu seemed unappetizing. I got the green tea ice cream drink which I've had before and quite liked. This time, the drink was so watered down, it became so bitter and quite honestly, too disgusting for me to finish. It was a $10 drink with tax and I ended up leaving half of it at the restaurant. The price for ice cream and water was too high. They also wouldn't let us play the deck of cards I had brought along despite telling us otherwise on the phone. Not a good experience.
