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! ”

“ Bomb new boba place in West Chula Vista!! So aesthetically pleasing and service is great! Also the boba is delicious and there are so many varieties I've not seen before. I want to come back and try them all! Also they're right next to Starbread which is a bomb bread place. This is a great combo :) do yourself a favor and try out this new boba place! The prices are reasonable and the quality of boba is great! ”

“ Very cozy and cute boba place! Their boba is very good and they also have some decaf options like wild Berry lemonade and smoothies. And they have very yummy taiyaki with different fillings like Nutella! Highly recommend checking this place out ”

“ BOBA AND TAPAS I had a teen social get together for a couple of hours. I was concerned because of the size of the venue. However, there was no glitch. Only a handful of girls showed up and we took the corner of the stair stadium seating. Customer service is what is expected. However, because I had a pre-order of extra food for a larger group, the communication and on-time preparation was exemplary. WHAT'S THE DEALIO WITH THE BOBA? I'm not at Boba fan. But teens are and they got pretty fancy with it. There is a lot to unpack at the menu with combinations and customizing.  I ordered the Oreo Cookie milkshake. This was really good Oreo Cookie flavor if you like the ice milk texture rather than the ice cream mixture. Prices are quite reasonable. WHAT'S THE SEATING SITUATION Like one continuous square flat bench Small pillows for your rear Small bar seating Love seat Or seating on your tush WAS THE FOOD DECENT? I ordered one of each: chicken wings, popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries, and egg rolls. One order of each. These were are good choices for as group of hungry teens and not to heavy on the stomach. The wings/drummettes were a good juicy size of 8 pieces. The popcorn chicken had flavor though the exterior a little too crunchy. Egg rolls had a good texture and sweet potato fries were decent junk food. WHAT ARE ADDITIONAL TIPS? I brought my own pillows and placemats because of the size of the group and to ensure some comfortability. Because we were there a couple of hours I brought the selfie props and card games. GOOD FOR: All walks of life Wheelchair and motorized friendly and spacious For parents with teens that are freaked out about the dating but want something safe and well-lit #juken123 #doriboba #socialdate #greenthumbandboba #bobaandtapas #bobachulavista "True friends are great riches." — Unknown ”

“ What a quaint little place! Very unique seating, and the area is decorated with so many plants, the shop owner has an amazing green thumb. The young lady that took my order was sweet and pleasant. Highly recommend. ”

“ This place is so cute with the nicest employees. I ordered the Butterfly Milk Tea because it looked cute. They forgot my boba and fixed it but it didn't look like the picture at all and without realizing it I said it looked ugly outloud. I was so embarrassed but she was so nice and remade it for me. and not only did it look cute it also tasted great. I also recommend trying the Andy's Feck Tea because not only did it taste great it also had such a cute back story to it. ”
