Welcome to Dori Boba

“ They are not wrong when they say they are the best boba shop in Chula Vista because they are literally the only shop in west CV area. That’s how they justify the inflated price with an average of $7. They also charge for add-ons of $1 each, they charge $1 for cc transaction under $5, although you get 5% off if you pay cash. Ichiban Sando, across the street sells boba so that would be their closest competitor at $3.75. This place is cute for photos but the shared staircase seating was not ideal, IMO. Takes up too much space and forces you to be close to someone. They need to update their on line menu because the menu in store had more items such as roasted coconut foam series and more snack items. They offer a lot of drink choices, I got the butterfly rose milk tea. It’s pretty and the sweetness level was perfect without adjusting. I tasted the rose on my palate then it completely disappeared like it was water downed. I was hesitant to get tea at 5pm due to caffeine but I slept normal which tells me, the tea was not strong. Also got passion fruit tea. It tastes syrupy not fresh. It has chunks of seeds and extracts to make it seem fresh. The girl told me this was their most popular fruit tea. I disagree. I got spicy garlic butter wings and it was delicious. The portion size were huge, came with 7 wings filled with crispy garlic toppings with green and red bell peppers. Taste exactly like cua rang muối (lobster garlic butter) or tôm rang muối (shrimp garlic butter). My friend got spicy pop corn chicken and surprisingly pretty good too. The white meat was juicy, the exterior was lightly battered so it was slightly crispy in your mouth. Didn’t have a lot of spice on the outside and for sure was not spicy. I would come back again to try the roasted coconut foam series and this plaza has parking. It’s right next door to Starbread and down the street from Tacos el Gordo. ”

“ I had the fruit teas and boba add on. Had grapefruit smth and it was just okay. The other was orange fruit that was pretty good. Idk what I expected with the boba but it burst immediately in my mouth maybe I should have asked for the chewy. The atmosphere is really cute it’s a lil cold tho. The service is great in spite of the fact that there was one person working the register and still making the orders. Overall I bet their milk tea boba are good because from orders I saw they looked soooooo good. Oh the price list is different from the one posted online. Also if you paying cash you get some cash off so I’d suggest using cash. ”

“ This cute little shop offers a lot of variety within the world of tea and boba - my favorite! They also have a small menu of snacky things - note to self: try the bulgogi fries! I had a brown sugar matcha tea and added boba and gave my mom the lychee jasmine tea, which had chopped lychee in it. Yum, yum, and more yum! The lady taking my order was super sweet and helped me patiently to make my choices. The decor is unique and adorable. There are places to sit "on the floor" with cushions, chairs in front of the window, and a couple more near the register. There is disabled parking directly in front of the store - awesome. I definitely want to come back and try other menu items! ”
