Bad service. Went during the evening for tea. there were only 4 tables seated but it still took me and boyfriend 15 mins to order our food. Hated the music. I prefer the destiny on Midland.

Always drove by this place in east beaver creek and finally paid a visit They have really good drinks !!! We ordered the strawberry slush drink and taro slush drink and both were really good! The strawberry one had a really big strawberry flavour maybe a little too sweet. I preferred the taro drink to be a little sweeter and I asked for sweetener and added it, it was perfect. Onion rings and fries were basic nothing out of the world and they were a good sharing size We paid $ 1 to upsize our drinks and it’s worth it. The service was good got everything we needed and was checked up on They have really appealing desserts aswell. The place is really big very high ceiling and overall big area Good experience. Also free wifi(no password)

Recently came here yesterday with my girlfriend and we had a few drinks and some fries and onion rings. I had ordered the strawberry slush and she had got the taro slush. The drinks were good and the strawberry slush was flavourful and sweet. The fries and onion rings were ok. Just like any other place Ok now we talk PRICES: $$ For a good time for two, your looking to spend about $ 30+. The drinks were both $ 6 each for a small. $ 1 more and you could up grade it to a large. I recommend doing this as the large is pretty tall. The drink in the picture is a large. The fries and onion rings were personal sized and was $ 8. Lets just say u could go to harveys and get the same amount for $ 3. The portion was extremely small for the price, even for one person. I saw some desert get brought to another table(waffles and ice cream and fruits) which looked really good! I would come back here and try it. Last tip; I read a Unilocal review before coming here and it said you need to not only wave you hand but your whole arm to get some service lol. This is true!

Is a trandional brand bubble tea since ten years ago, come back for a supper. The place is still very nice. Comfortable environment to sit and have a conversation with friends or even study. Not as noisy as other bubble tea store. Food and drink is above average at this price range and the service are reasonable. For sure will come back more often.

Dessert here is really good I love the cakes and the drinks too! Only problem here is that it’s really overpriced, recently they jacked up their prices so I don’t come here as much, sad it was a pretty good place.

Recently dropped by for a Saturday night visit and was surprised that this place has managed to stay open for as long as it has. 5 years ago this place was a hot spot to hang out, but I just don’t see why anyone would bother these days. The only redeeming quality about this place is the size and space. The décor is actually really nice, good for a date. There’s ample seating(even an upper level), and they don’t seem to mind you staying for an extended period of time. To be fair however, it wasn’t exactly busy, which is a little bit surprising given that it was a Saturday night. Years ago, this type of place would be packed to the brim, perhaps a sign that much of their clientele has moved on to greener pastures. Disclaimer: I have never had the food here. And from what I’ve heard, the food is OK for a BBT place. My harsh 1-star review is based on three things: 1) the drink, 2) the price/value, and 3) service. 1) The bubble tea simply was not a pleasant flavour, especially when compared to the plethora of fine BBT options that exists these days(e.g. Coco, Chatime, etc.). I also tried the kiwi juice, which was one of the worst kiwi juices I’ve ever had. The tapioca was mushy beyond belief, as if it was overcooked to hell and back. Blech. 2) As far as price goes, when you’re paying $ 6+ for a drink, you expect the quality to be decent, but they simply do not deliver. Overpriced. And when you’re sitting down at the restaurant, they serve you your drink in a very cheap, flimsy plastic cup. I understand it’s economical especially if people leave and want to take their drink with them, but the cheapness of the plastic was reminiscent of a $ 2 food-court Bubble tea stand. They should take a hint from GoForTea and TenRen’s, both large establishments in the same area, charging similar prices. The drinks there are actually pretty good, and they serve them in a proper glass cup. 3) Our waitress was friendly and courteous but the wait times for food/drink were so ridiculously long.

I have come to this location on a few occasions. The place is busy but there is a lot of seating available since the restaurant has a huge space. Ambience is nice and they have both tables, booths, and lounge chairs for a variety of purposes depending on why you’re hanging out for a bbt shop. I like their food. It’s not cheap though, but usually I get their noodle bowls. A few apps I do like: popcorn chicken. Must get. Seriously. It’s addictive and delicious, albeit on the oily side. But it is flaky and soft and breaks apart easily. Gyoza are the usual, nothing special. Takoyaki is another one that is pretty good. The chicken wings are okay, but I don’t feel it’s worth the money. For the drinks they have a few I really like on the menu. I love the ice cream drinks, super rich, delish — get the strawberry or mango. And sesame! Another favourite is their honey aloe drink. It’s honey tea with aloe jelly :) Last but not least. Signature mango mix is THEBOMB. It’s mango slushie with chunks of mango and jelly :) We decided to try the Oreo milk tea Coz it’s on the menu. Presentation is great. The taste, meh. It’s basically milk tea with a thin layer of Oreo cookie crumbs. The rock pieces is basically coated candy. The milk tea however is lukewarm. I was expecting it to be cold but it was room temperature. I didn’t mind it Coz I was cold but my fiancé did not like lukewarm bbt. Anyway a great place to hang out and chat. Their service needs improvement though because for a place this big they need call buttons… Esp when ppl don’t walk around that often and usually I have to leave my hand up for 5 mins.

I’m really split with this place. I love that you have your own little booths and the food here is yummy. But the service is unbelievable bad! Me and 5 other friends were sat for 30 minutes before we got mad and asked for somebody to serve us! Even now I’m writing this we finished eating over a hour ago and no one has come to collect our plates. So bad! When just receiving the bill they already added a 15% tip for themselves. Maybe that’s why the service is so bad, because they know they are gonna get tipped anyway. Defiantly put me off coming here again!

The place is chic and makes the best drinks in the area. All kinds of bubble tea and slushies that not only taste good but look good. There is also a large selection of food from noodles, rice, hot pots etc. Great place for a date or a conversation.

Compared to the last time I came here(at least 2 years ago), this place has definitely improved.(So my rating is more of a 3.5) I think with all the competition popping up in Markham, they really had to up their game. Their menus have gotten a huge makeover in terms of look and variety. There are a lot more food selections and the drinks have graduated to some really unique selections. They no longer taste like just flavour power and water so paying $ 6 – 7 for a drink is starting to make more sense. I’ve always been a big fan of their décor, which I find very sparkly and modern. The service has definitely improved from last time. They’ve apparently moved from hiring incompetent teenagers that seemed to care more about how they look to people that can actually service a restaurant. The only issue I had was there were a couple slip ups with our orders(e.g. extra drink, one drink took too long) BUT given that we were a pretty big group, it’s understandable that it happens. Ultimately, if I were to have rated this place 2 years ago, I would’ve probably given 1 star(which is why I waited years to come back). Now that they have gotten better, I can see myself coming again on a more frequent basis.

This place has been the to go chill place at late night for me and a lot of my friends since high school. They have a huge place, with dimmed lights for atmosphere. Drinks-wise all their drinks are decent(not superb). The one thing is that the amount you get does not only depend on what size you ordered(small or large), it also depends on the shape of the glass they serve the drink in. Once my friend ordered a drink in large, he got a very thin-shaped glass filled with ice which he was able to finish in like just a minute. He told me it felt a lot less than other drink he had here. They have a really nice food menu though. They got all the typical Taiwanese-Chinese snack foods such as fish balls, meat balls, sausages etc. They even got Japanese snack foods like Takoyaki! They also serve full meal dishes such as fried rice and noodle soup. I once had their spicy beef noodle soup and I really liked it, fair warning, the soup was very VERY spicy. Overall a decent place to chill and hangout with friends. Also good way to grab late dinner if you ever missed dinner for some reason.

Standby tea house that’s always spacious, quick and has wifi. The food is tasty but most come for the speciality drinks including hot teas and milk teas. Service is courteous but not spectacular. Would come anytime when looking for a late night place to chat with friends.

I give the classic iced black milk tea 5 stars but this location’s customer service has gotten so bad. I really don’t know why I still go there despite my last two negative experience. Negative experience #1: I was 8 and half months pregnant with a obvious protruding pregnant belly. Went in on a weekday around 3pm with my husband. The place was NOT busy and a young male server walked us to our table, the small 2 seat tables that you have to step up a high step for a pregnant woman and the seats that were not cushioned and if you’re a woman reading this and ever been pregnant then you will know that pregnant woman CANNOT sit on hard seats without cushions. So we asked the server if we could sit somewhere else, he said no the other seats are for 4 people plus. I said I’m pregnant and I need to sit on cushion, he continued to say no I can’t you are only two persons and the other seats are 4 plus. Now I don’t know what the F*CK I was thinking back then in not asking to speak to the manager to request for another seat. Instead, I didn’t want to make a big deal for my husband and I told him it’s fine so we sat down. Negative experience #2: Came here few weeks ago with my hubby’s family, we were total of 16 people. The lady server that served us was rude, and rude is me nicely describing her. Everytime I go there I order the popcorn chicken in large size by paying few extra bucks. This time I did the same thing and the lady says«no large size». I told her everytime we order this large size, she says«no large size» without further explanation and a look on her face as if I killed her family in my previous life. What kind of attitude is this? Then 7 of my family members ordered and she said to the rest I can’t take the rest of your orders, I will come back. Seriously?! I was too preoccupied with a fussy newborn or else… Anyway, I am going here tonight again and if I experience any ounce of rude customer service I will make sure my comments get heard this time!

I don’t go here for fast service. I don’t go here if I know what kind of food I want. I go to Destiny if I want a slow cup of tea(or glass of bubble tea) served in the company of friends. I go to Destiny to have conversation, laughter, and to catch up. There is no rush here. This place is big and has almost anything you could crave if you’re peckish. The ambiance is brightly lit and there is always music playing — a dull hum from all the frequent customers. You don’t go here if you want a bubble tea that tastes perfect — BUT you come here if you’re looking to chill out and just talk.

Man, it’s gotten so shitty over the years, that I don’t even want to go here anymore. Came here quite late in the evening after an activity, as we just wanted a quick drink. Came in and ended up waiting for a couple minutes before we got a table. The host didn’t actually see us, but another server did, and pretty much just ignored us, and didn’t even tell the other host we were waiting. When we got a table, once again it took forever to get the attention of a server to put our order in. Drinks are okay, but nothing special or worth mentioning. As we were sitting, the server just brought over our bill without us asking for it. Not something I like as it feels the server is subtly asking you to leave. Overall, don’t like the way this place has turned out over the years. There are tons of other bubble tea places in the vicinity, which I urge you to go to instead. Just full of rude kids working who don’t care.

Destiny is a bubbletea restaurant that offers meals and desserts and after several visits, I have mixed feelings. To start, the parking is somewhat annoying. Destiny itself may not be too busy but the parking lot outside is used for all of the surrounding restaurants, including The Keg and Chako. So I’d recommend going early if you don’t want to do laps around the parking lot… while in your car. Sometimes there are spots to park behind the building so if you don’t mind walking, you may be in luck there. If you go really late(let’s say, 10:00pm), you’re probably okay. The bubbletea itself is alright. I always get the same one and I’ve never had problems with it — I’ve had friends with orders messed up but it wouldn’t be fair to mark this review down based on what happened to them. The food in general is a little overpriced for what it is. They have a very large menu but there are some orders that aren’t of the greatest quality, taste-wise. I don’t really eat desserts so I can’t really post an opinion on that. Easily the best part of Destiny is the atmosphere. It’s a fantastic place to relax. It’s very large, tables are always clean and they have free wi-fi there. You can hang out with friends, do some work(if you’re one of those people that like having background sound, that is) or just enjoy a drink. Easily the worst part is the customer service. The waiters and waitresses usually require two or three asks before you get something simple like a fork, soy sauce or chopsticks. This can be a little annoying, especially because they don’t always have a ton of people circulating around the place. Not only that, but I’ve found one waitress spends her time on her phone. Would be nice if they circulated around the tables and ask how you’re doing — especially with longer stays. If you have a Vicinity Card, you can accumulate points there: 1 point earned per bubbletea if you take out or 1 point per $ 10 spent. 10 points allows you to get a free bubbletea. In the end, Destiny’s parking, food and customer service leaves more to be desired, but it’s a great place to hang out if you’re killing time and spending most of your time relaxing. With the nearby ‘Go4Tea’ closed, it might get more business, just not for the right reason.

Way too fancy for a bubble tea restaurant. Prices are reasonable. My peach iced tea was served in a nice glass and tasted alright. Squid was pretty tasty. They did add gratuity to our bill but our waitress did not inform us about that. I ended up paying a tip on top of gratuity. This has happened to me before. Not cool. Overall not a bad place to hang out and have a late night chat without alcohol being involved.

About a 2.5. The whole time we were here, we were just thinking if only Chatime allowed us to sit down and have dinner. The only good thing seemed to be the décor. Service was very slow. It took forever to get our bill. The drinks were small… and even smaller if you think about the ice they had put in the cup! The kimchi fried rice was good and tasty but the chunks of kimchi could be cut up a bit smaller. Parking is usually such a hassle during prime hours but not too bad when it’s late in the evening.

Haven’t been here for years. Service still sucks. Food is decent but it’s so slow. I got the ma po tofu. It’s not bad for the not sure I would come here again. The bubble tea is tiny!!! I finished it with one sip. I’m surprised this place is still open and haven’t closed down yet. This should really change to cha time! The seating is nice… food, service not so much
