I came here with my friends to try the milk tea hot pot. We got oolong tea, and it comes with the sugar syrup, creamer, and three toppings. We chose honey boba, tofu pudding, and red jelly hearts (strawberry-flavored).
The hot pot came out fairly quickly, and we followed their online instructions on the steps, such as trying the tea before adding anything, after adding sugar, and so on. The tea came with a small pot with heat, and a few small cups. The tea was fine, though I think it didn't get to the same level as if you ordered an individual drink. I feel like it was something with the type of creamer, even though we adjusted the creamer and sugar to our tastes. The honey boba syrup didn't have as much flavor as I'd like, though the chewiness was great. The tofu pudding seemed a bit strange, like it didn't have the same texture and taste as silky tofu pudding. It had more of a steamed egg texture. The jelly hearts was the best toppings. I think it would've been easier to enjoy this if the cups they provided were larger, though they were really cute.
We also ordered a takoyaki, which was decent for a boba place. The service was alright, and they were pretty quick to help us when the heat for our tea went out. I think they were hanging out in the back and messed with the music when they were no customers since it once got super loud right behind us, and occassionally abruptly changed the music, which wasn't great.
I don't think I would try the hot pot again, though it's not a bad activity to try with friends if you like boba. I might come here again to try the drinks.
