Lilikoi - Reviews

My experience at this little boba shop on Fillmore off of Lombard was wonderful! They offer an impressive array of flavors, and the staff was incredibly sweet. The atmosphere was enhanced by the fun retro music. I highly recommend trying it out!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My experience at Liliko Boba was wonderful. After a long, busy day, I was craving a refreshing mix of coffee, tea, and boba. Upon entering, I was greeted by a kind and welcoming woman. I mentioned I was in the mood for something unique, and she promised, “I’ll make it special for you. ” She created a delicious cinnamon coffee-tea blend. I then realized I hadn't asked for boba, and even though the drink was ready, she smiled and added it without hesitation, saying, “No problem. ” Her friendly attitude and great customer service truly made my day. The drink itself was amazing — flavorful, balanced, and exactly what I needed. I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend this place not only for their drinks but also for the warm, personal experience.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for refreshing drinks! I tried the Lychee Mojito and the Horchata, and both were incredible and truly hit the spot. A special shout-out to Xio for the excellent recommendation!

My experience at this cute boba spot in the Cow Hollow district of SF was very positive. The lady at the cashier was friendly and helpful, patiently explaining the boba options. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Thai tea and Sakura Matcha Boba. We loved the variety of boba options and will definitely revisit soon. ❤️

Visiting family and exploring SF for the first time, I stopped by this restaurant on a whim. The Thai tea was pretty good, and I also received a free mochi donut with my order. I want to express my thanks to the lady behind the counter, who I assume is the owner. She was incredibly kind and helpful, pointing me in the right direction for the nearest BART station. Cheers from LA!

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. When I found my drink too sweet, they were able to dilute it with more tea for me. The drinks themselves were yummy, and the boba was perfectly chewy. I also loved the overall vibe and the logos.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for desserts! I tried the Great Ube Donut, which was a standout. The Cookies and Cream donut was also very tasty, described as light and fluffy. Additionally, the Matcha donut was very tasty. Overall, it's a great place for dessert!

I visited this restaurant because I was intrigued by the sakura milk tea, but I was greatly disappointed. When my drink arrived, I immediately knew something was wrong. It was far too dark to be a milk tea and tasted like coffee. I attempted to explain this to the staff, but neither of them spoke much English and insisted it was tea. Sakura foam on top of black tea is not a milk tea, for one. My drink did not resemble the picture, which showed a drink with tea mixed with creamer and crema on top; this was clearly coffee with sakura foam. Finally, I asked if they could make the sakura matcha instead. They barely understood what I was asking, initially suggesting I place another order. I insisted they remake the other drink, and it appeared to be made correctly. However, they did not inquire about my preferred ice or sweetener levels, resulting in a drink that was way too sweet. Additionally, they made us wait for the correct drink while serving other customers, which was frustrating, especially since my husband was circling the area waiting due to the lack of nearby parking.

My experience was centered around a poke bowl, as I didn't try the boba. Unfortunately, the poke bowl itself was a letdown. Despite ordering a double portion, the amount of salmon was surprisingly small. The "salad" component was merely a generic broccoli slaw mix, and the dish was largely flavorless due to a severe lack of sauce. The toppings were acceptable, but overall, I won't be purchasing this again. Additionally, I encountered significant pricing problems with their automated system, which forced me to place my order through DoorDash. I noticed numerous pricing inconsistencies between online and in-store options, with some items being higher, some lower, and different choices available. It's crucial they fix this, as I would have overpaid by $5 for this disappointing meal if I hadn't caught the discrepancies.

My experience at Lilikoi in Burlingame was fantastic! I was looking for something refreshing and a little snacky, and this place truly delivered. I tried the strawberry matcha boba, which was not only visually appealing but also genuinely delicious. The layers were perfectly executed: a creamy matcha on top, sweet strawberry at the bottom, and wonderfully chewy boba pearls with a great texture. I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, offering a nice balance of earthy matcha and fruity strawberry flavors. For food, I indulged in the spam fried rice, garlic fries, and chicken wings. The spam fried rice was incredibly satisfying, seasoned perfectly with crispy-edged spam that wasn't too salty – pure comfort food! The garlic fries were generously loaded with garlic and remained crispy throughout. The chicken wings were a highlight: crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavor, almost addicting. The restaurant itself has a cute and laid-back atmosphere, and the service was impressively quick. It's an ideal spot for anyone craving a good drink and some comforting bites. I will definitely be returning.
