You don’t come to Quickly’s for stunning interior design or high quality service. Yeah, they have an enormous 100+ drink menu yet their most popular drink is still the original milk tea. Yeah, they’ve been playing the same video on loop about that guy who buys his date a milk tea but then leaves his bouquet of roses at the counter so the Q’s worker brings it to him just in time. But, that’s the beauty of Quickly’s. Milk tea places shouldn’t be fancy. There’s something authentic about having squeaky chairs, an obnoxiously excessive drink menu, or having your conversations interrupted by the workers yelling at each other in Cantonese. Q’s is the McDonald’s of milk tea, good cheap milk tea with fast service. $ 2 large milk tea with boba, $ 4 crispy popcorn chicken, and a 3 minute wait time. No $ 8 milk tea in a mason jar can beat that. Quickly’s for life.

Watery milk tea. The lady was on the phone for about five minutes, acknowledging I was ready to order. She asks me what I want, I tell her, then she glares at me and continues to talk on the phone. I should’ve left right then and there. Save your time & money; go else where.

The taro milk tea was deliciously creamy and the tapioca was chewy. Awesome bubble tea for a great price!

Um I love getting milk tea, the crispy chicken from there. The area for that place is in a really good spot. I’ve always gone there and it was Great. However my friend and I Went today and I did not like the service at all. Why you ask? Well let’s see because I got my food in 5 – 7 min which was great, thanks. But they never made food for my friend. And she ordered right before me. We wait for like 30 min almost and asked ‘hey where’s the food and the drink I ordered’. The person who ordered the food said she brought the drink, someone might’ve taken it. Okay possible if it was the same order. Understandable. But okay what about the food? Never seen her brought it out at all. Anyways. Long story short when my friend asked the lady for her food and drink, she said ‘u didn’t get it? Really? I thought you got it’ … And the lady just started talking to these ppl in Chinese and totally ignores her. … I’m like WTF? So ignorant which is why you get a low grade on your service. So then they just ignores us the whole effin time. Is it just me or she was a bit racist to my friend and me? My friend is Vietnamese and I’m Bengali. Idk I don’t think I’ll ever go to this particular quickly if I see those ladies working there … I am serious. You want to have high rating then stop lacking on your job, if you don’t like it quit and go somewhere else. And stop ignoring your customers when they are trying to tell you the problem they r having. . Do better at the customer service and maybe I’ll go there, otherwise No Thank you! I’ll go to a different location.

The food is overpriced, tastes artificial, and the service is not great. But it’s cheap. What do you expect? I’m a De Anza life playa, yeah.

Not that quick, and quality of Vietnamese sandwiches were so so. Bubble tea seems popular

Surprised by all the bad reviews. I’m not too picky about my boba — I think they all taste pretty similar. This place is really cheap though, so next time I’m around cupertino village I’ll probably come back. There are a couple milk teas you can get for $ 1.49 — and they tasted pretty good to me. The popcorn chicken was good too, freshly fried, and very generous portions for $ 3.99. Service was nice and polite also.

Quickly gets a lot of flak for basically being the best at what it is: bubble milk tea /food spot that has absolutely no emphasis on quality. But hey, it’s freaking cheap. So if you’re going to Quickly thinking you’re about to get a bubble milk drink that will change your life, realize you got something far less than that, and then write a scathing review, that’s like going to a drive-in movie theater and then writing a review complaining that the audio couldn’t compare to movie theaters and the seats weren’t as cushion-y. I do want to point out that the quality of what you’re getting often varies with whoever is currently on the shift — some of them just seem to care less than the others, which is a reason why this is a 3-star review — inconsistency. But if you are interested in getting some fried foods and drinks that will in no way make any impact on your financials, then Quickly is the place for you. I highly, highly recommend drinking any of its milk teas/drinks with their mango jelly — this special, star-shaped topping can’t be found anywhere else(afaik) and is quite good.

This location is pretty small and was crowded with people. The thing that worried me was that I wasn’t given a receipt for my order. I’m glad nobody ran off with my food.

This is the best quickly’s I have been to here in the bay area and in Sacramento. The drinks are cheap, something I like and usually order is always on sale(2.50 for a large). They are quick most of the time after I order to have my drink done and ready within 1 – 5 min. I drive all the way here when I live in Sunnyvale because the quickly’s in Sunnyvale sucks. Highly recommended and will always keep coming back. Love the Thai tea here and the Jasmine Milk Green Tea and also the Green tea with the perfect amount of sweetness without me suggesting the sweetness level cause I honestly have no idea! Boba is perfectly delicious as well!

This place gets a slightly worse review than the one located in Vallco simply because of the service I have received here. The workers are often rude, inattentive and have messed up my drink more than once(without being apologetic at all). There’s usually only one person working, but I have seen two people working at one time, but one lady(who seemed to be the«boss») kept yelling at the other employee the entire time, telling them to hurry up or how they messed up(aka gave«too much toppings»). I’ve had the $ 2 jasmine milk tea with boba, to which you basically can’t adjust anything(aka I couldn’t ask for less sugar or no ice), but I guess for $ 2, you get what you pay for. The ice melted into my drink, diluting it greatly and it ended up tasting like watery milk tea(I also couldn’t taste a hint of jasmine anywhere, but oh well). I also had the mochi waffle one time, and it was such a disappointment. The waffle was too soft and soggy, and there was not a hint of mochi anywhere. I have also been here with a friend who got the barley milk tea, which quote: «tasted like cardboard bits or cereal floating in my tea», so I definitely do not recommend that. Egg puffs are acceptable, but sometimes takes a while to cook, so be prepared to wait. Actually, scratch that, their service is impossibly slow even when I’m not ordering food, so just keep that in mind! Also, cash only. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heeeeelllllaa cheap. $ 1.50PMT? Count me in! We all used to come here in high school(probably because we couldn’t afford much better). Crispy chicken is done pretty well. Don’t order the fried octopus, for some reason it takes over half an hour to come out(still remember waiting for it, six years later…). Cash only(as usual).

3.5 stars. I got the egg puff and hot almond milk tea(no additional topping). Hot almond milk tea is just the regular taste similar to the ones I’ve had at other places — pretty good. The egg puff i’d say 還好, far from the best ones i’ve tried in other places but since this place seems like the only place that has this on their menu around here, i’m very appreciative. I gotta find more places that sell these egg puff(雞蛋仔’s).

Came in after eating some ramen next door. I ordered the bubble milk tea w/egg pudding & my mother ordered the mango milk tea with boba. The mango milk tea tasted a lot like the mango syrup & really sweet but the boba was just the right texture. My bubble milk tea in this case a little girl took my order so now I’m waiting on it to be remade. In her did fence I don’t think she realized she took it but it’s fine. My bubble tea was just as good

I haven’t been here in years! But it’s nice that this place hasn’t changed much. ESPECIALLYTHEPRICES. Omg. I think this is the cheapest boba place that I know of. $ 2 for a regular sized cup of iced green tea? Yes, please! They have a lot of different cup sizes and they even sell cute mason jars if you want to buy one and keep reusing it. Not sure if they give you a discount every time you reuse, though. I also usually add boba for an additional 50 cents but even then, $ 2.50 is way cheaper than any other boba place around here! The boba is pretty average. Not as good as honey boba in SoCal but still decent. This place was pretty empty when I came here, so the service was very fast. The only complaint I have is that this place is cash only, but hey, at $ 2.50, I’ll gladly pay cash every time. I’m going to start coming here more often!

I came here with family for post-lunch drinks, and I should have chosen another place. The shop itself was fairly clean, but the sidewalk directly outside is full of groups of loitering college kids(some smoking by trash cans). The tea itself was pretty good, but the pearls were some of the worst I’ve had in recent months; really just a gross consistency, with some of the pearls turning to mush. Not planning on returning.

It’a a very very convenient place for many De Anza College students if they want to go out and get something to eat. I usually come here for pearl milk tea since this is the closest one than the one at the Ranch 99 plaza at Cupertino. Everything is okay here except you would notice that the seat aren’t that many, so it will be best if you could order a take out. Overall the price is fairly cheap if you’re broke. However cash only.

Ordered the fried chicken and stew beef sandwiches plus taro milk tea with coconut jelly. The wait was nearly 20min which seems rather long for a fast food place. I can still remember Quickly only serving bubble milk tea and spicy popcorn chicken but over time they have expanded their menu choices to include a wide range of tasty snacks.
