Tapioca Express - Milpitas

The devil works hard but tapex works harder lol if you're ordering 1 drink it'll be ready before you even walk away (usually.. unless it's busy) They renovated the floors and there's no more tables inside, just chairs to wait for your order. I always enjoy their snow (especially mango) fruit teas. My favorite fruit tea is the passion fruit green tea I love adding lychee jelly. For food, their popcorn chicken is so good! Pretty consistent throughout the years. If you like spicy then go for the higher numbers. But for me, someone who enjoys mild spice, a level 1 is too spicy and have to go less than that. Tapex is good for wanting to go back to old time classics. There are way too many new boba shops popping up with eccentric drinks but terrible milk teas lol

I am a milk tea fan, I love Tapioca Milk tea since they had a store at Cupertino. The taste is always good. The Boba is soft and chewy. Crispy salty chicken are so delicious too. The only downside is they open really late 12pm so I can't enjoy milk tea in the morning.

The popcorn chicken at this restaurant is legendary. It's fried, so if you're health-conscious, I wouldn't recommend it. However, it's a must-try otherwise. If you can't handle spicy food, I suggest trying a 0.5 level of spice for a milder option, as their spice levels can be extreme. Avoid level 5 spicy unless you really love spicy food. Personally, I always order combo A because the milk tea helps balance out the spice of the chicken, and they offer small pearls which I wish more boba shops would have. This place only accepts cash or debit card, but I recommend using cash because they charge 50 cents for debit transactions. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite, I recommend stopping by. I always grab a snack here when I pass by.

Tastes okay. They don't have milk alternatives. Crossing my fingers one day they do.

This restaurant is without a doubt the best place for popcorn chicken! And they also serve fried calamari heads. I usually order them with a spice level of 3 out of 4. The snacks here are far superior to those at other boba places in town. Absolutely fantastic!
