I ordered a Thai ice tea using the kiosk. It defaulted to a large without an obvious option to change that, somewhat my bad but it happened to my sister too so the UI feels unintuitive. Taste: for context, I'm usually a 30% sugar person at other bubble tea shops. There wasn't an option to change the level of sweet and this drink wasn't nearly sweet enough. It also barely tasted like Thai tea. If it wasn't orange I might have thought I ordered just milk with clumpy boba. The service was fine but not enough to warrant the $8+ I paid for bad boba. I won't be back.
Mashed lukewarm Oreo cookies in my iced milk tea tasted like they’ve been soaked for hours. Disgusting . Worst ever. Would not recommend
Strawberry matcha refresher was DELICIOUS!
A decent refreshing stopover for boba drinks and light snacks. Amidst numerous boba options in Chinatown, Pin Ming might not top the charts. Nevertheless, I came here a couple times to try their drinks and food. Their regular boba toppings were mediocre as it lacked chewiness. On the other hand, the strawberry pearls stood out – these little sphere added an unexpected fruity sweetness that elevated some of their drinks. I also got to try some of their food, Popcorn Chicken and Fried Shrimp. Over-seasoned and quite salty, Popcorn chicken was a bit of a letdown. But the shrimp was a surprisingly good deal. Its batter was basic but perfectly crispy, and the shrimp was moist and creamy. In Chinatown’s boba scene, Pin Ming might be at the lower end of the spectrum, but if you’re in a mood for some good snacks and decent drinks, Ping Ming might be a good choice.
Ordering drinks on the electronic screens is amazingly intuitive and its exciting how easily customizable everything is!!! Best boba tea place I've been to hands down, just for this customization alone. The drinks are great of course. The food is alright. Popcorn chicken isn't great but not bad. The crazy potato cheese corndog thing does NOT actually have a hot dog inside. It's fried cornbread and french fries around a mozzarella cheese stick. I think that's cool, but my wife really wanted the hot dog. The music playing in the place was pretty annoying subpar covers of songs that were popular 10-20 years ago. The rest of the atmosphere was A++ but the music wasn't good.
Must try!!!!!!!!! The quality is top notch! The boba is absolutely soft! The brown sugar tea is delicious!
Good selection, consistent flavor
