I LOVE Class 302. This location is a little random for the demographic area, but I'm SO glad it's here! Downey needed more diverse Asian food and boba spots! So this plus the 7 Leaves across the street is perfect. We came in late at night so some items weren't available, but we just wanted boba anyway. It's a BYOB (Build Your Own Boba) place, so customization is all up to you! From the toppings, milk teas, to the slushies. Love it. Lady at the front was friendly, even on a late night. With it being late and a good number of people, the counters were a bit dirty and could tell things needed to be replenished, but I didn't mind it too much.

I can say this is the first self-serve boba place that I've ever been to. If you're looking to try different flavors and toppings, this is the place to come. You pay a flat price per size and you can add the toppings and mix drinks to your heart's content (as long as they can seal the cup). From smoothies to milk teas, there is a pretty good selection of what you can get. I have been a here few times and it's one of those you just want to go to for the vibes. If you're looking for high-quality tea, this isn't the place for you. I love the idea of mixing some drinks and adding toppings based on what I'm craving at the moment. I haven't had the chance to try their foods but they have looked pretty yummy based on seeing people's order at their table. Keep in mind, that the line for the place really can get long, especially on hot summer nights. There is only one cashier that can ring you up. The same person is also grabbing the drinks to seal it up. So please be patient with the workers. I would say that this place gives you exactly as advertised! Reasonably priced drinks and toppings? Hell yea!

看淡一點,善待自己,畢竟人間只來一次,千萬不要因為別人,而丟掉了自己的快樂~ 三年二班, 吃了十幾年的台灣小吃, 說實話,以前做的比較好吃, 現在老闆好像比較沒有在注意細節, 但是有些菜還是好吃的, 下次應該要來試試他們最有名的雪花冰 ,很久沒嘗到的味道了

This is the first self-serve bubble tea shop I've ever been to. It's nice that you really can put how much ever you want of whatever toppings, and the price is the same. I forget the pricing, but something like $6 for a small (16 oz), $6.50 for a Med (24 oz) and Large $7 or $7.50 for a large (32 oz?). Just guestimates, but, overall, reasonable for what you get. A good variety of milk teas, regular teas, and even smoothie choices. I'm basic, I don't get anything too sweet or fancy, so it was the house milk tea for me. But, they offer you little sample cups to try out the flavors before you commit. I enjoyed the 302 milk tea, the guava green tea, and the lychee smoothies best. But, of course, you can't customize sugar level on these, since they're pre-made, from the fountain. The meal deal is very reasonable ($17). Pick one item from list A (protein), and one from list B (a carb dish). Great for feeding 3 adults and 4 kids. We had the Teriyaki chicken, popcorn chicken (2), fried pork chop, and then the spicy udon soup, curried pineapple fried rice, and also the spicy basil fried rice. Also, a side of Calamari (side appetizer, not a part of the meal deal). Everything was good, but I probably wouldn't order the basil fried rice (liked the pineapple fried rice better) or the udon soup (hard to share, and not anything to write home about) again. The food also came out pretty fast; I was surprised. The pork chop was surprisingly moist and tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. I think I liked this most! Boba was a good enough texture, too. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely not terrible. I'd want to go here again, so much bang for your buck! No pics available, them kids tore that food up!

I love being greeted by a super sweet hello by a lovely lady behind the counter!! We ordered the beef noodle soup which came out to $16.45 after tax which tasted phenomenal!!!! Super tasty and worth sharing with my boyfriend. They make it super pretty and presentable too. My only complaint is that the leather seats are torn which hooked onto my pants and the tables were dirty when we were seated. We definitely would come back! The soup was super tasty, savory, and filling.

The service was phenomenal upon walking in. She was very attentive and since it was my first time she described all steps. This is a self serv service. It is awesome. Since I am a boba lover I was able to fill up my cup as I desire. They do have other toppings which I skipped but looked pretty good. The drinks are not super fancy just your general milk teas and green teas.

I wish we had something like this down in the Bay Area! I was on a roadtrip and wanted to stop by for some boba and snacks. My partner and I both created our own boba and loved how easily customizable it is and how many options of toppings and drinks there were! We also got the popcorn chicken and it was SO good. I know it's a good place when they add some chili sauce on the side (but it was still good without the sauce haha). If I was in the area, I would definitely come here again!

The place had super cute decorations and was super clean upon entering. The staff were also very welcoming and nice. I only mainly come here for their drinks so I cannot speak on their food. Although it looks super tempting. You select your size cup and then afterwards you're basically in charge of making your own drink. They have all of their toppings and liquids on display and you can fill it up with whatever you want. A cup full of boba? A cup full of taro pudding? A cup full of every single topping? Whatever you want the choices are endless. Of course as long as they fit in the cup. You can load your cup wiht whatever you want as long as it can be sealed on top. Warning: they use the sealed plastic lids where it goes straight accross (like in the pictures). So sadly one cannot get away with a mountain load here.

If this shop doesn't go out of business soon, I'll be surprised. You add your own boba and mix your own tea! Of course, your drink is limited by the size of your container, but for a boba lover like my kid, I think she filled her cup almost halfway up with boba! The workers were patient in explaining how this place works. There are lots of free parking in the center's lot. The indoor decor is cute in that they based it on Chinese classrooms, complete with desks. Lots of indoor seating available.
