More like Slowly. One miserable-looking employee working in the claustrophobic store on a Sunday. For some reason this inspired stroller moms to clown-car their way in here. Milk Tea/iced coffee is not actually 99 cents. Take a hint Mr./Mrs. Manager. Cash only. What year is this? The watermelon slush was actually decent, but it should be for $ 5/small. Overall, I think I would just go to 7 – 11 next time.

The milk tea was alright and service was fast! However, the place was super cramped and even though I’ve been in a lot of tight places ;) this was not that fun. It was also super hot upstairs and barely any room to walk around in!

I am giving one star because I have stomach ache after drinking the milk tea. Today, I have actually ordered the green milk adding some rainbow jelly. I drank some and left some for about 3 hours. Then, I can see some deposit in the bottom of the cup. OMG! What is that???

I am a frequent boba drinker, and have had Quickly’s milk tea at other locations. This is probably the most inefficient Quickly’s I’ve ever been to. I came here on a Monday night around 8 pm with 4 people and there were ~2 people in front of us in line. Between the 4 of us, it took us over 20 minutes to order and get our boba. There was no good reason why it should have taken so long. We ordered standard flavored milk tea drinks with boba(nothing blended, no food). It was literally like being in the DMV run by sloths in Zootopia. What made this even more frustrating — there is no sense of «organization» in the cramped store and the cashier let a random person who got there after our group, cut in between us and order his food. The tea here is standard milk tea + non dairy creamer + sugary flavored syrup, and the boba was fresh, but nothing special. If this place was particularly cheap, or had particularly good boba maybe that would have warranted the long wait.

The poster outside says $.99 Milk tea however they don’t honor that and it’s 149 still a good deal but they need to change their sign

Out of every quickly I have ever been to, this place tops them all. The boba is soft and chewy I’d say majority of the time. But if you don’t like soft boba I wouldn’t get it. This quickly has the lowest priced Jasmine milk tea, green tea and milk tea which is also why I like this place over other quicklys. I only get Jasmine milk tea with tapioca or Jasmine green tea here. It’s only 1.50−2.50 $! Cheap and it taste good. The food here is the same as other quicklies. Not too bad. However the sweet potatoes fries was not as I expected. I prefer the orange yam looking ones but this quickly has a white yellow version which was kind of like eating cardboard. If you like the orange one don’t get it here because they don’t have it.

The bottom floor is cramped and there’s too many pictures of food everywhere. This location only takes cash, which sucks in this day and age. For their hot drinks they just scoop up the cold version and microwave it. Worst Quickly’s in SF.

Fried bananas! The place has lots of fried options and milkshakes. They have upstairs seating. A little dirty but charming in its own way. Portions are a nice size. I would go back again.

I am not sure what does the Food & Drug Administration’s presumption in relation to Quickly’s popcorn chicken. And just like any Chinatown food joints, this is another food place for a quick and cheap bite. Thanks from my then-friends, now adversary, I just popped my cherry within the last few years when I was first introduced to the unhealthy fried snack. For $ 4.00 + tax, I get boneless chicken meat fried and battered into bitable pieces. I also liked Quickly’s smoothies. My favorites are the Wild Berry smoothie and Peach smoothie, each for $ 3.50. The barista from the shop does a great job in making those drinks. But I have yet to try the other sides or Bento bowls, which are affordable too. Quick bites, cheap eats, you won’t regret it. But your waist-line and love-handles will.

Why do I give this place 4 stars? Because I know I’m buying cheap boba and popcorn chicken. Although I didn’t get boba this time, their popcorn chicken was delicious, like every other quicklys. They have 2nd floor seating but no restroom unfortunately. Just like most Quicklys, it’s cash only. Don’t come here comparing this global chain to a fancy boba place, you won’t have a good time. You come here for quick/cheap boba and snacks.

I typically get the iced milk tea here with tapioca. The flavour isn’t too strong, but the tapioca is nice and chewy. This is made up by the fact that the milk tea is only $ 2! Wow so cheap!(this is only for a few flavours which is part of their daily deal) Overall, not the greatest tasting bbt, but is great for grabbing something cheap and quick.

I was sad when I found out the Quickly store @ Powell st. is closed for good. I went to this store to order the Milk Tea w/no tapioca and the lady charged $ 1.49WTF!!! Such a rip off, the Quickly store @ Powell st. always have the same exact drink for $.99. I asked why I was charged $ 1.49 and she said that this is how much it cost for the Quickly Milk Tea with no tapioca. RIPOFF! They probably raised the prices cause this is the only«Quickly» store in Chinatown now. I will not be coming back here, greed people!

This Quickly is alright. has a lot of bubble tea choices for ok price. also, a lot of snacks are available as well. taste is ok. bubble tea is ok too. cash only kind of throws you off. with so much cheap dim sum in the area, i’m not sure there is a reason to come here instead for your snack food.

Limited seating here. Also for their milk teas they use this soy milk which I don’t think is standard for Quickly(?), so if you’re allergic to soy too bad! I got the standard milk tea. It was fine but agreed that the tea flavor in general is not that strong. The boba was nice and chewy though. Also it’s cash only.

*** Pit stop review(San Francisco) *** This is a decent place to stop to get boba after eating in Chinatown. The location is eye catching from the outside with the bright orange signs. It has a cutely designed interior with kids definitely in mind. My kids love the stuff so I have no complaints. I tried some of the passion fruit boba and it’s ok. It’s like any other sugary drink with the boba balls. It’s like getting a dessert after a meal. The location is a convenient stop because it’s right in between the restaurants and the parking structure down the hill. BTW, This is a cash only establishment. Food = The family enjoys it. Seating area = There is some clean seating upstairs. Service = Friendly Restroom = Unknown

The Fried Banana was pretty good, but the Popcorn Chicken Bento Bowl was a huge disappointment. The«Bento Bowl» concept is a waste of money, because it’s just a bowl of white rice with whatever you order(in my case, popcorn chicken). There is no sauce whatsoever, and certainly no unique flair to the dish. The chicken was so stale that I could barely chew it, and there was nothing but ketchup and BBQ sauce to dip it in. I decided to give Quickly Bento another chance and come back for Boba Tea, but that too was pretty disappointing. I got a Mango Tea with Assorted Bobas, which turned out to be juice with no more than 10 tapioca balls. I probably should have ordered a better flavour, but the lack of tapioca was not worth the extra money.

Perfect for your late night drunchies. It’s next to Grasslands, a cozy little bar. Very convenient for your deep fried snacks. Their popcorn chicken order has quite a bit, and the pieces are more than a bite size. When they’re not too busy, they would actually deliver your food/drink to Grasslands so you don’t even have to wait at the store itself. I hardly order their drinks here, but considering how it’s Quickly’s, I wouldn’t put too high of an expectation on their drinks. Just add a few bucks more for better boba drinks elsewhere, it’s SF, there are plenty of places to choose from.

Located in a busier part of the SF Bay Area, I am very thankful this place is at a corner. I’ve had their boba twice now, once in 2013 and just this past week. It’s delicious! They have a LOT of varieties. For example, I believe I ordered Tiger Tea in 2013 which is a mix of Thai tea and milk tea(total deliciousness!). Their prices are also spectacular. The total I spent for 2 drinks here is what I spend for one drink in Vegas. The only downside to this place is lack of seating. It definitely is meant to be quick, and it can get super crowded. Yet, if you are ever in or near Chinatown and need a sweet pick me up, THIS is the place to try. Also, they have daily specials!

Worst boba tea place ever. «Bubble» tea does not come with tapioca pearls, so you have to pay extra for the pearls. Also you have to pay extra for«milk» to make it a a traditional-looking boba tea. So wrong. For close to $ 4, my boba tea was disgusting. Tiny teeny little store. Cash only. Invaded by school kids.

I’ve been to Quickly before at the location by my house, so when I was craving a simple boba drink after dinner I decided to stop by this location. This location is oh so disappointing and dirty. The store is very small and cramped and only accepts cash. Despite the unattractiveness of this location, I decided to get a drink anyways and ordered a large lychee(or how Quickly spells it «litchi») milk tea with boba. The drink was extremely milky and had barely any tea. The boba tasted like it was premade hours before. I couldn’t even finish my drink and decided to throw it away with 2⁄3 left. Will not be coming back.
