Classic San Francisco Italian Restaurant Gold Mirror Is Closing for a Remodel | Eater SF

"At the end of November I noted Boba Birds opened in Contra Costa County from owner Daniel Zhang, who was born and raised in Pinole; the shop serves numerous chicken items including five spice wings and popcorn chicken, and naturally there’s boba, too." - Paolo Bicchieri

UPDATE: Been coming here for about a year now - Lemon Pepper Sauce is it. That's the one. BOBA BIRDS uses jumbo sized, bone-in chicken wings and drumsticks. SUPER CRISPY and made to order, the wings are served HOT and juicy. They use fresh ingredients for their in-house sauces and toppings. Prefect for garlic lovers that enjoy the piercing flavor of fresh garlic. The fries are also made to order. They're hot, crispy and covered in a sort of paprika based, semisweet seasoning. SUPERB. It's like sex served in a wax-lined cardboard box.

Best boba in the Bay 😍😍😍 the owner and his wife are so sweet and very accommodating! The chicken bites are so flavorful- highly recommend the lemon pepper and the Parmesan! The boba is warm and fresh and they let me customize my matcha boba to make strawberry matcha 😋🍓!! 10/10 coming back again 💕

Best place to get yourself some flavored full boneless chicken or wings. And boba drinks all at the same time. Super amazing staff. The owner Daniel and his wife are amazing very friendly and they have great customer service. I threw my friend a baby shower there everything we had a great time. They treat us so good. We order different kind of chicken flavors. My guest loved all the flavors. I will do another party there all over again. Check them out. You will not be disappointed!

A boba and chicken spot located in Pinole where they have tons of different milk tea flavors and different types of wings and food items you can get. Located in a shopping plaza, parking is easy and has a huge inside to sit and hangout. I got a honeydew milk tea boba and fries. The fries were really good that I devoured them while driving home. The worker was very friendly and worked quickly. I would want to come back to try their chicken.

Lots of unique flavors for popcorn chicken. Wingstop meets crispy taiwan popcorn chicken. Large pieces of popcorn chicken!!! I ordered drinks 100% and they weren't too sweet. Service friendly staff. Clean cafe can seat a lot of people. Need to study? This is a good option (like Starbucks). Lots of parking. I like the house fries. They are dusted with dry rub house spice. Tasty! I dont miss garlic fries.

This place is AMAZING! We came here today and everything was fresh and delicious. The fries and bird bites (popcorn chicken) were hot, crunchy, and perfectly spiced. The bird bites are made of juicy chicken thighs. We loved the taro milk tea, matcha milk tea, banana mango milkshake, and banana strawberry milkshake - it was great to have non-dairy options that were not too sweet :) the owner Marisa is awesome. Can’t wait to come back!!

My husband and I were anticipating the opening of this shop, and we most certainly are not disappointed!! Everything is DELICIOUS! From the boba down to the wings. You’re able to customize how sweet you want your boba and they absolutely nail it everytime. Although the boba flavors are small, the quality makes up for it. Our favorite has been the brown sugar boba. Even when we get 100% sugar it’s not super sweet. The sweetness is a perfect amount. The lemonade is perfect as well. Not so sour not so sweet, perfect balance!! And those fries are amazing. The seasoning they put on it is so so good. The service is always so friendly as well, we’ve been coming almost everyday!! It’s pretty cheap, only $7 for a large boba size. Please support this place, the passion in everything they do is evident :D we will be coming back and supporting them for many years to come!! ^_^

Best chicken in the area hands down. I go here at least twice a month. My favorite order is the sweet chili flavor bird bites and a strawberry lemonade with lychee jelly.

I came here to work a little but was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance and food. Service: Great staff. Very friendly and efficient. Food: Fries were crispy! I loved them Popcorn chicken was seasoned well and a tad bit overcooked, but still loved it when I added some chili powder to it. Boba: a bit in the sweet side and the boba could be a little chewier in my opinion. Overall: definitely recommended! Would come back to try other things as well.

My favorite item here is the French Fries. They have this nostalgic seasoning that reminds me of my childhood. I came here recently with my daughter. They also served sandwiches, wings and boba. There is ample seating and tables. Also a photo-op area. If you are in the mood for some really delicious french fries that have a sweet and salty flavor kinda like BBQ, then come here. You will not be disappointed.

I did say that I would be back for more bites!! I am so happy that I finally got to taste the seasoned French fries. Oh emmm geeeeee. Cannot explain in words how good those things are. A perfect blend of spice, savory and sweet!! Fried to perfection. Again, I had to get the honey cream- delicious as before. {The fry on the bites could have been a little harder and the bites a little smaller.} To drink I got a strawberry black tea with lychee jelly. 100/10. Vika makes the best teas!!! Speaking of Vika- he is excellent! Service has been 10/10 both times we have been. And always with a smile. It's a chill environment for families or friends looking for good food, a few games and great music.

Really wanted to like this because I have a soft spot for cute bird logos, but this was just awful. Surprised when I walked in and saw the main menu on display was all food items and I had to step back outside to see the drink menu posted on the window. Considering how "boba" is in their name, you'd figure that'd be their main specialty. I ordered a large Guava Green Tea with 0% sugar ($7). There was another pair in front of my husband and I when we ordered, and they got their drinks pretty quickly within a few minutes. Seems like they were on friendly terms with the staff when they were chatting. However this was our first visit, and it took nearly 20 minutes for our drinks to be ready in comparison. I find it extremely disrespectful to see such a big difference in hospitality right in our faces. When I finally got my drink, I saw it was bright red. Clear sign that there's a lot of artificial ingredients. And from my first sip, it definitely was. Although I asked for 0% sugar, it was still quite sweet, and the flavor was like those nasty sugary drinks for children. There is absolutely no distinct tea flavor either, and it's like I'm just drinking heavily concentrated syrup water. If you're a parent with young children and can afford to treat your kids to cute looking $7 drinks, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I recommend you looking elsewhere for your boba fix.

I always come back here for the peach green tea and honey garlic parmesan and soy glaze bird bites! They bring my order to me when they are done. Big seating area to eat and drink. They also have board games.

We love coming here!! The employees are all SUPER nice and personable. The owner is so kind and loves to chat! He always talks to my husband about fishing. My kid is still very picky when it comes to the foods he likes, but I can always count on him eating the bird bites. He loves coming here even more now since they have a collection of little toy vending machines (what kid DOESN'T like those??) and a collection of games/toys you can play while you wait. Everything is cooked fresh to order, so chicken might take a couple minutes, but it's well-worth the wait. I love love LOVE this place! :-D

This place in Tara Hills in Pinole, in the same place where the Safeway is. Chicken Wings made to order, chicken bites, fries, salads, and boba drinks. They have several different flavors for wings and bites. The staff are friendly and ready to take your order and give great recommendation if you don't know what you want. Nice dining space to eat, not too loud. I forgot to mention their chicken sandwiches are really good. Their wings are pretty big compared to Wingstop. The best thing about Boba Birds is that they are a small business. Good food and good service, can't beat that combination.

The wings here are LEGIT huge, flavorful, juicy and filling! Highly recommend the soy glaze, honey garlic Parmesan, lemon pepper wings and garlic fries. Boba was pretty good - I've tried the taro and it was decent. Interior is pretty spacious and cute, location is in a plaza that could use some life, but they have free parking. Workers are super friendly and takeout is easy. This is my new go to for chicken wings!

QQ brown sugar boba. You could ask to modify the ice and sugar levels. Seasoned fries hit the spot. The crispy 5-spiced hot wings were tasty comfort-food snacks. I inhaled them all. Overall ambiance was quiet. Plenty of parking.

Had a serious craving for some wings and after the place I usually go to was unexpectedly closed for maintenance, I hopped onto Yelp and found this place. The person who answered was very helpful and cheerful! Didn't realize how much I missed a friendly voice taking my food order! Anyways, that already made me feel like I made the right choice. Food was ready at the 20 minute estimate they gave. I ordered the Mango Habanero and Honey Garlic Parm wings and a side of fried. First off the wings are big, fresh and crispy. They LOAD the sauces and dry rubs on these wings which I loveeee. The fries were seasoned well, but I actually was just expecting plain fries with salt. These ones had a seasoning I can't quite put my fingers on. It wasn't bad, just wasn't what I wanted at the time. I'll know for next time to get a different fry. The Mango habanero topping looked fresh. Like they had just made the sauce in a blender, kind of fresh. It was chunky and not what I'm used to. Still very tasty! The Honey Garlic Parm was LOADED with Parm and garlic and the wings coated in Honey. Superb. Overall, I'll definitely be coming here to try their other wing flavors and teas. I ordered to go, but the place is located in the shopping strip where the Tara Hills Safeway is. I don't think it'd be a place I'd come to dine in, but they did try to make the place cute inside. It had a couple game machines and a Cutesy instagrammable wall.

We were greeted right away when we walked in. It was a very welcoming environment! The owners are very sweet and friendly. Every customer that came in, they greeted. I had said to-go, but we were sitting down at the table waiting for our bird bites and they brought our drinks and fries to the table. They regularly checked in with us and asked if we needed anything else. The customer service here is excellent! They provided excellent service to everyone that was there! (Brought them their orders, checked in on them, greeted everyone that came in, engaged in conversation, etc). I spoke briefly to one of the customers there and she seemed to be a regular. For the milk tea, it seems like they only offer fresh milk, unlike other boba places that usually offer non-dairy creamer (the powdered creamer). I think it's great that they offer different types of milk such as oat, soy, and almond. However, because I'm so used to boba that is made with that non-dairy creamer, the milk tea tasted a bit off to me. It wasn't bad, but not what I am used to getting. Because of the fresh milk, you could see specks of the milk separating in the drink. I tried my bf's peach green tea and I really enjoyed that one; it was refreshing! Now, the bird bites were absolutely amazing!!!! Definitely my favorite item! We tried everything when it came out so it was nice and fresh. The bird bites were crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor! It reminded me of the korean fried chicken soy garlic flavor; my fave flavor and definitely what I was hoping for when I ordered the soy glaze! The portion size was big and reasonable for what we paid. I will be back to get these again and try their other flavors! I bet their wings are just as good! I already have people on Instagram asking about Boba Birds and their chicken! We thanked Daniel, the owner, and told him how much we loved the bird bites and he said that they'll be adding more items to the menu after Thanksgiving! Can't wait to come back and recommend Boba Birds to people I know!

You know I had to grab an order from Boba Birds. GrubwitMike did a review and I had to pull an order to go. Wings are great when you order them crispy. The chocolate banana milkshake with Oreos are a hit! I had boba birds before and their wings are a good snack to grub on. Cheers!

My friend and were heading home from a baseball game and we always visit a tea shop on our way back from BART. Always looking forward to something new, we decided to give this place a try. I do like the name of this place, so I found it entertaining at least. The shopping center of where this place is felt a bit sketch, due to how deserted it felt. But there is ample parking at least. Ordering is easy since you can choose a base for your tea and adjust ice and sugar and add any toppings you want. Strawberry Green Tea with Mango Bits: I love the sugar adjustment values once you get below 50%, how you can decrease it by 10%. But I go for my usual 75% sweetness and half ice. The drink was really good. It felt refreshing and not overtly sweet. The mango bits helped a lot to add a bit of sweetness back into the drink. And for the size I got, it felt worth it to me. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again.

Stopped in for a late night drink and we both loved our orders! I ordered the Dragonfruit Slushie and my boyfriend ordered the Honeydew Tea. Both drinks were fresh with just the right amount of sweetness! Service was quick and friendly! We also had fun planning the claw machine while waiting for our drinks.

Today I had the pleasure of giving Boba Birds in Pinole a try, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. This unique establishment combines two of my favorite foods: delicious chicken wings and refreshing boba milk tea. I ordered the Bird Bite Combo with Five Spice flavored bites and Garlic Fries, and they are truly impressive. It's a must-try, offering generous portions of chicken and fries at a very reasonable price. The chicken bites are cooked to perfection, with a delightful balance of juiciness. I also ordered 6 chicken wings; Lemon Pepper flavored. They were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also got Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba. The texture of the boba was just right and chewy, highly recommended! Overall, I enjoyed the food and drink from Boba Birds and would come back next time when I have the crave for boba drink and chicken wings!

Jan 19, 2025 We stopped in for a waffle and an order of garlic-maple syrup chicken wings. The shop is clean, spacious and friendly. It was cold inside the resturaunt. Heating such a spacious space is probably expensive. I went back to my car to get a jacket. The young man running the shop by himself was efficient and cheerful. He handled the steady stream of incoming customers well. The clean dual sex bathroom is down at the end of tthe long hall If you need it. Don't forget to ask for the door code before you make the trek. The food was delicious. It is served in paper to-go boxes. The wings steaming hot. Freshly made seasonings and sauces yummy. Owner- the dine in customers need a container or baggie or some place to place the chicken bones while dining rather than putting them back in the box next to the uneaten wings. Also, the fruit on top of the waffle was cold which might have sped up the unpleasant early cooling of the scrumchious waffle. I am looking forward to coming back to Boba Birds and will keep this spot on top of my dine in as well as my take out to feed a party list.

What better combo than boba and chicken wings! I'm hooked on their guava tea with boba and have already been back several times for this drink. They've got a variety of chicken wings flavors and other snacks as well. The staff at the counter is always welcoming and friendly. Theres plenty of tables and seating and the space is always clean which I appreciate. Lots of parking in the lot. Definitely recommend this place.

Definitely better birds than boba in my opinion. Ordered the 40-piece pack that allows 4 flavors and 6 dipping sauces. The size and quality of the chicken is better than the 2 other chains Wing Stop and Fire Wings to me. The honey garlic Parmesan is my favorite flavor compared to the other options. I would even say it could be used to make garlic noodles. The boba is not really worth trying, as there are so many other exceptional boba shops in Pinole. Overall, go for the wings but pass on the drinks.

We ordered chicken nuggets, chicken wings honey garlic parmesan (excellent) & soy sauce flavor (so good like adobo taste) & chicken & waffles. Wow, just wow. For me they are slightly better than my favorite Korean chicken restaurant kbbq. The location of the restaurant looks empty but the store is nice & cute. Will go back for more chicken wings & waffles.

was near Pinole and came across Boba Birds. I'm a fan of boba and enjoyed ordering the mango milk tea! I came here with a Yelp Eliter, and she had the guava fruit tea with lychee jelly and seasoned fries (highly recommend). The cashier was very helpful with and the internal was really cool. There's a claw machine inside as well, for anyone interested in trying it out.

A drive on a beautiful Saturday calls for a well-deserved matcha drink. It was soooo good! And then that means I'm hungry, so I got me 20 wings. Soooo crispy & flavorful!! I got me buffalo wings & the five spice. I'll be back for the spicy lemon pepper!! Go check them out!!

Boba birds is the next big boba shop' they have chicken and boba and French fries. The store workers are super nice and the service is fast. Lots of parking as it's in a Safeway shopping center right off of the highway. The fries are super crispy and the drinks tasty.

I recently discovered a boba place that also serves delicious chicken wings at affordable prices. Daniel, the staff, greeted me warmly and offered some fantastic recommendations on flavors. I opted for the mango habanero and honey garlic parm, which were both amazing. The lobby is spacious with plenty of seating and hangout space, and they even have a nice accent wall for visitors to take photos with. I can already imagine this place becoming a hotspot for students from the nearby middle school after school hours. It's nice to see a boba shop aside from Berkeley and Hercules. I will be frequently coming by for more. Wings are SPICYYY should I add that all their sauces that I've selected are made in house.

What a nice experience I had here. My husband and I were running errands so we stopped here for a bite. I got a basket of fries and a Chai Boba milk tea. My husband got the bird bites and fries combo. He opted to get the honey garlic parmesan flavor. The chicken was nice and tender, and any garlic lover (like me) will love this flavor option. The bobba was perfectly sweetened, not so sweet that all you can taste is sugar. And the fries, THE FRIES! Delicious!! I would come here just for the fries! The two people working there were super friendly.

Stopped by this local boba spot and loved everything about it! We ordered the Thai milk tea with crystal boba, a mango slushie with lychee jelly, and a honeydew slush with lychee jelly -- and every single drink was delicious. The flavors were fresh, perfectly sweet, and the toppings had great texture. You can really taste the quality! On top of that, the service was excellent -- friendly, fast, and welcoming. We felt well taken care of and appreciated the good vibes. There is plenty of room to sit inside if you have time. I didn't get any food this time but they also offer snacks. Definitely recommend supporting this business if you're in the area. We'll be back for sure!

Kinda happy this place exists. When I go to a boba shop the only snacks I like is the popcorn chicken. So pretty happy this place has a bunch of chicken as their main food items. Got the 5 spice and it has just the right amount of kick. Gotta go back to try the other flavors.

First visit review: exceptional. I'll be back to try other drinks and bites. (Note though they don't have hot drinks!) Excellent customer service. I did not feel rushed while ordering. I was given choices which was wonderful especially helpful for first timers. Food: ordered lemon pepper bird bites. I love that these are crispy on the outside but remained moist inside. I'd want it crispier though. Chicken was cooked and had no yucky chicken flavor - okay that is confusing. To expand that, there are chicken popcorns from other boba places where it tastes gross, perhaps because they are not fresh. If you know the difference between cooking a freshly butchered chicken and chicken that's been prepped and stored in freezer for a while: the taste is different where the latter has a "chicken" flavor even if it's cooked and also smells like it and a bit springy. Anyway, the lemon flavor was definitely there but overpowered the pepper because I didn't taste the pepper at all. Oh these are huge pieces unlike the chicken popcorn from other boba places. Taro Milk Tea: I ordered no ice and 50% sweetness. Perfect sweetness. This taro milk tea really gives you taro flavor, not the syrupy flavor kind. Guava Slushie: I love this. I almost exchanged my drink for it even though I hate cold drinks. It was refreshing! Space: huge and has plenty of tables for groups of four. They also have an area for IG pic. This place is casual. Parking: free and plenty.

TLDR: Fresh food and drinks, super friendly service. Highly recommended I've been coming here for a while now and I just remembered that I haven't reviewed it. The service has always been super friendly, the owner remembered me each time I went and he saw me! The employees they hire seem to have a welcoming aura as well. The food is ALWAYS made to order! So you will have to wait a few minutes but it's SO WORTH THE WAIT. The wings have been consistently tasty and the seasoned fries are super addicting. The drinks are also very good, asking for the cashier's recommendation never fails! I love the mango smoothie, I know it's made with fresh mangos bc sometimes I get a nice surprise of a fresh mango chunk that dodged the blender blades. Since you do need to wait for your food they have a claw machine and a few other small things to do while you wait. I personally appreciate the quality of the prize plushies as they are actually cute things that you would want to win and KEEP. The shop is spacious and clean, could be a nice place to study for a while. Overall I love coming here to support this small business over other boba shops in the area that are chains. This place has heart, character, excellent service, and most importantly incredible food and drinks!!!

I am so glad Boba Birds opened up in the big lot with the old Safeway and near my favorite dry cleaner's! There is plenty of parking as there are less businesses in this lot now. Stop by for delicious chicken sandwiches and great boba drinks! I love getting a bite to eat and a refreshing drink as a treat. They are really welcoming and I highly recommend trying something new!

Boba drinks and Chicken? This has to be an unique creation of combing what people love. Located in Tara Hills near Safeway Boba Birds is the place for Pinole Middle students to go after school. I gotten good service at Boba Birds. I was given time to figure what to order. What I like about Boba Birds was that it had a good selection of drinks and chicken. I rather go for the drinks than the food in my opinion. Let's hope good business for Boba Birds. It should bring back business to the shopping center.

Came here for boba. It was not the best. The flavor just wasn't there. It tasted like the ingredients used were not of good quality. I see other reviews mentioning their food. I only tried the boba but maybe their food items would be better. The customer service was good. I like the little decorations inside.

Our annual meetup here was terrific. Boba Birds has maintained the quality of the food and drink. We had lots to eat! Service is gracious and accommodating. 7 of us were comfortably seated in the dining area. Complete with a backdrop and bench for picture taking. I poached some prawns. Added it to the leftover salad for dinner. The honey balsamic dressing, housemade is delicious! Until next year....

This is a great new spot to get your popcorn chicken & boba drinks. Fast, friendly service. The portion size is generous and you can customize the amount of sugar in your drinks. This place breathes life into a shopping center that is on life support.

Boba Birds is located off to the side of a big and semi-busy plaza. There is plenty of parking in the huge lot. Simple exterior and interior, but they do have a cute backdrop against their back wall, which is great for photos - also, logo and name is cute as well. The employee helping me was quiet, but relatively nice. I ordered a green milk tea with boba, 75% sweetness and light ice. It was not as sweet, even at 75% - the sweetness was mostly from the boba. The milk tea tasted mostly like just straight up whole milk with a slight tea taste to it. Unfortunately, the boba was very melty and just breaks apart, as you bite into it.

Food and beverages: pretty good and worth coming again to. I ordered a peach green tea with lychee jelly, a matcha milk tea with oat milk and strawberry jam, a waffle with chocolate and banana, and another waffle with strawberry, whip and chocolate Service: ok, at first they were pretty compensating by walking up me with my order when they didn't have to, letting me take my time when i ordered. But my only major concern was the staff worker prepping my food without any sanitation gloves on. I'm a mild germaphobe so things like that don't sit the best with me even if they washed their hands. The kid who made it seemed young and trying so i didn't say anything rash but i just requested that he'd use gloves the next time since people like me won't always be so forgiving. Ambiance: cool, fun to look at, smell from the waffles drew me to order my own. Had fun playing the claw machine and games they had available. Saw photo wall and thought it could use more light back there so people could see them but that's all i would change tbh. However the waffles that were prepared honestly looked terrible. I know its hard to control how it comes out when it's to-go as it will reshape as it transports, but my order didn't seem like the person who made it knew how to put it together even when it was handed to me. I don't believe it's entirely his fault though as he was the only one there, however some training could've helped make it look like more care was given to it. But yea, everything else seemed moderately good in my opinion. Would like to come back, as long as they keep those gloves on and work on prepping their food better.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Yelp Elite Event here a week or so ago and I liked it so much that I wanted to introduce Nina to it. It was convenient to do it today, because she teaches Tai Chi at the Hilltop Y on Thursday mornings. She got there before I did and Daniel, one of the owners, was giving her a tutorial on boba drinks, since it was her first one, as it had been mine. He even showed her how to stab it w/ the straw, as Gina had to show me. She decided on a melon drink w/ black tea, 75% sugar, no ice and boba as well as their chicken sandwich, which comes w/ coleslaw, BBQ sauce and an onion ring inside. She asked for light sauce because she has to watch her salt. Daniel asked if she wanted the sandwich cut in half, which she did. I ordered Thai tea w/ 50% sugar, very light ice, oat milk and boba, as well as 6 sweet chili chicken wings. I had intended to order fries to share, since they're so good, but forgot. Maybe next time. Nina's sandwich came out first, then my wings. I noticed that the texture was different, crispier than the ones I had taken home before and reheated. I really liked them. They're so meaty, the sauce is so good and the crispy texture took it to another level. Nina really liked her sandwich. My drink was delicious. Nina liked her drink, although she wasn't enthusiastic about the boba's texture. She said she would try something else next time. While we were eating Marissa came over to check on us. I commented on the difference in the texture of the wings and she said an air fryer would crisp them up at home, which is good to know. I ate three for lunch and will have the other three for another meal, so I will use the air fryer. She also told me that Vincent, who helped me last time, is her cousin, so it really is a family business. The restaurant was empty at 12:20, unlike at 3:00, when it was full of well behaved middle schoolers and Elite Yelpers. It was also chilly and Nina said Daniel had told her that the heater was broken. When I went to the bathroom Marissa heard me coming down the hall and came out to unlock the door. We had a lovely lunch and Daniel and Marissa were so nice!

The gal behind the counter said they've been open about 1.5 months. I was the only one there at about 6pm. I actually thought they were closed. Girlfriend & hubby told me about this place. Chicken bites were amazing. I got the five spice flavor. Chunks of meaty chicken, fried to perfection! Yum. And got the Garlic Parmesan wings. Very tasty...there was kind of a sweet tasty to it. Not sure if it was supposed to be there or not. Arnold Palmer with zero sweetness was perfect. Ambiance was meh. Decorated tree in the corner. Cool lighted sign & "greenery" wall.

Boba Birds is just what Pinole needed! The location boasts plenty of parking, fresh interior remodel, clean, crisp, and innovative. Take your selfies at the holiday area :) Daniel, the owner, is exuberant, kind, caring, and fast. We ordered one of each flavor wing, two orders of bird bites, and some fries; and boba tea of course! The wings are all seasoned with Daniel's signature touch and DO NOT disappoint. The lemon pepper wings were our favorite and we ate all of them so I didn't get a photo It's also very cool how you can customize how much ice, jelly,boba, or sweetness you can have in your drinks. We will be visiting again very soon, this spot is a MUST TRY. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GO THERE NOW!

New spot in Pinole/Tara Hills. First time there yesterday, and they have a good list! All cold drinks. The service is great! The staff is very attentive, and ask you if you need anything. We ordered the garlic fries & the spicy chicken! The chicken was my favorite! I had a Thai Tea, and the amount of sweetness was perfect! The boba was also hot and freshly served. If you're looking for a good boba place, along with some food should definitely try it!
