St Louis Bubble Tea

Love the food here although it seems most come for the boba. While their food menu isn't expansive, it offers enough options to suit most. There is a huge drink menu, covering everything from boba to slushies to snows to hot drinks. Their fried rice has that fresh off the fire taste (wok cooked over an open flame). Crab rangoons are happily stuffed with a nice taste of crab (or "crab") and a bit of sweetness. Would love to see plain fried rice offered. The chicken dishes can sometimes be a bit tough (but I still order them). Portion sizes are plentiful. At least in the past, this place was very opposed to photos of their menu being taken (the reason we were given is that "competitors want to steal [their] menu"). They don't offer paper menus and also don't have a website with their menu. Aside from that quirk, employees have always been very friendly, helpful / attentive, and always polite. (update 11/26/2023) Bubble Tea appears to have finally embraced delivery services, which means part of their menu is now made avilable on said delivery sites. Sweet & sour sauce appears a thinned out so it's now runny (vs a thick sauce) but it is still tasty. Pepper now being added to crab rangoons (or this batch). Appears cooking oil recently changed, so clean flavors for fried foods.

If you like boba milk tea, you won't be disappointed. The things they do right they do right. Not a fan of everything on the menu, but the boba milk tea and a few of the other drinks will have you coming back again and again. The food isn't really to my liking, but some rave about it, to each their own.
