Au 79 Tea House in Arcadia

I ordered Chinese sausage and rice and it came with two types of sausage; one salty and one spicy and vegetables.  It's been years since I ate here, but I don't remember their dish being that way.  I was expecting Taiwanese sausage and rice.  Even looking at past reviews and posted pictures, it was.  Maybe they ran out or changed their menu a bit.  Who knows?

AU79 used to be a staple boba spot for me years ago, I still remember the days when it used to be the cool spot to chill at during the evenings. Lots of new boba spots have popped up since and I stopped going for a long while, but recently became obsessed all over again. I forgot how good their teas are - esp their Jasmine green tea, it has a more fragrant Jasmine flavor than most other places, it's similar to TenRen's but I personally think AU makes it better. I love their pink boba, always the perfect consistency and their mini boba option is always fun to drink too. I'm currently hooked on all things Hokkaido and their Hokkaido cream topping is so freaking good every time, I get the Jasmine GT topped w Hokkaido Cream and it is bomb, the cream tastes like White Rabbit candy, so yumms! Other of my regular drinks are their almond green milk tea and rose green milk tea, unlike other places, you can get these drinks completely unsweetened which I appreciate when I'm not craving sweet. Their rose gt is made w actual rose tea which is so much better than the syrupy stuff you get elsewhere. Was bummed when their other location closed but I do hope this location continues to stay strong. :)

Came here in the afternoon to see if the quality was the same as before and unfortunately it was not. The drinks my party ordered were with low amounts of sugar (0-50%), but all of them didn't have any taste besides sugar water. Even for the 0% sugar drink, you could only taste an insulting amount of sugar. Overall, not a great experience and what should of been a quick stop for boba took over 30 minutes.
