Mr. Green Bubble | Oakland

Always the best place for Taiwan popcorn chicken! Great portion with great price. The boba ice cream is wonderful and unique as well.

I always liked the food here especially the popcorn chicken. But the service is super slow even if you order online in advance. I chose to order a warm boba tea and a snack on their online order system, waited for 35min and received no pickup instructions. Until I went into to the store and asked, they told me they can't do warm and nobody communicated with me regarding that until this moment I asked. Very disappointed with the service.

Got their regular black milk tea with boba. Regular ice and sweetness were perfect. 16oz is actually a pretty decent amount.

I have only gotten bubble tea from here, so I can't speak about their food, but I've been pretty happy with the bubble teas I've gotten from here. Lately, I've only gotten the taro milk tea (which comes with boba), partly because it's one that I can ask for no sugar and can have non-dairy milk options (for 50 cents). (I think the Thai milk tea, for example, only comes with regular sugar or extra sugar, which I don't want. I'd want a less sugar option, but I guess whatever mix they have for the Thai milk tea is already pre-sweetened.)

I like being able to order on the kiosks - usually makes it less likely for there to be a misunderstanding about what I want. You can also order through the Snackpass app if you have it. You can specify the sweetness level and ice level, too, which is nice. And they you get a text when your drink is ready. The last couple times, my drink was ready much earlier than it originally estimated, which was nice.

There are only four "classic" milk teas that have the boba included, and these aren't priced too bad. The others don't include boba so you have to add it as an extra for 50 cents, and they're more expensive drinks to begin with, so those end up being rather pricey ... so I haven't gotten them.

But the boba texture is almost always perfect and the drink flavors pretty good.

So, it's not bad for when I'm in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.
