Feedback
The giant chicken dishes and fried fish balls are absolutely delicious. They've discontinued the pork belly rice dish, though. We tried both the strawberry milk tea and the black sesame milk tea, and they were both fantastic. Since we don't enjoy overly sweet drinks, the 25% sweetness option was perfect for us.
What a wonderful surprise I had during my work trip today! The ambiance at the Westie is absolutely delightful. The shop owner was incredibly friendly and helpful! To top it all off, the chicken was fresh and delicious, and the mango iced tea was the best I've ever tasted! Make sure to visit this place—it's well worth it! Thank you for such a great experience!
I visited the restaurant at noon and ordered the monster chicken along with the original milk tea with tapioca and grass jelly, requesting regular ice and sugar. I enjoy my boba drinks on the sweeter side, and this one was just right. The monster chicken was delicious and came with a small packet of Sriracha. The interior was roomy with plenty of seating options, and there were many parking spaces available in the strip mall. The staff was friendly and quick to serve.
This place is amazing! I wish I lived in the area so I could come more often!! The cashier/barista named Stacy was so helpful!! She was really more eager to find exactly what we wanted from her expansive menu, even if that meant 20 million samples! Would recommend this place on any bubble tea connoisseur!
This cozy little boba-ria is full of Inspiration and the Vibe is Super Chill. Cute decor, helpful staff and the drink options are unique as is the establishment itself. Will definitely be going back to try the Mermaid Blue Blue Aloe. May have found my New GO-TO for Boba in Dublin CA.
