After visiting Chinatown, you can look over the menu at One Zo. The chef at this place cooks tasty taro, soup and bun cha. Most guests recommend trying perfectly cooked taro balls and good asida. After a long working week, you can taste delicious bitter. Check out great pearl milk tea, jasmine milk tea or matcha.

Tea was okay, a little watery even though it was recommended by the cashier. Did not pair well with the sesame boba. Tasted a little old and not fresh.

The boba pearl flavor variety is certainly one of the most unique things about this boba shop. They offer brown sugar, honey, taro, and black sesame varieties of boba. We got the brown sugar boba pearls with jasmine green milk tea and taro milk tea. When we asked for less sweetness, that's exactly what we got and it was perfect. The Jasmine green milk tea wasn't as flavorful as I expected, but it definitely wasn't packed with artificial flavoring like many other boba shops rely on. Not much seating inside and parking is hard outside. It is a great location in Oakland Chinatown. Service is friendly and they make the drinks quickly. Cute place to hangout with friends or a large group on the weekends. No public bathrooms available at the time we were there. Husband's review: "Chewy and not too sweet!"

Daughter suggested to try this new place for their different flavors of boba but sadly this was a failed visit. Quality/Quantity - We got the following today: Oolong Milk Tea with Sesame Boba + $1. Pineapple Fruit Tea with One Zo Boba + $1.25. One Zo Boba topping is a combination of the 3 boba flavors. Mango Fruit Tea with Lychee Jelly + 75¢. They were out of the One Zo Boba topping, but tried to sell it to us anyway. Then they refunded the extra charge when my daughter brought to their attention that they only put honey boba and 4 sesame boba and 0 brown sugar boba.  We also got the last of the black sesame boba for the Oolong drink. And they were out of brown sugar boba.  In summary, if you are out of your signature boba, please do NOT sell it to a customer and with an additional up charge...  At least you refunded the difference of the One Zo topping and just the honey boba topping (75¢). My daughter said the One Zo in LA tasted better. I see that you have 4 locations in the Bay Area. Atmosphere - Only open 3 days a week from 11:30am to 6pm; Yelp hours differ. Not sure how businesses can make $$ when they are only open 3 days a week and also run out of their signature product. Street parking only, so good luck.  But today is New Year's Eve, so it's not a problem for us. Small local boba business, 1 table for 4 people, and two bench seating. Service - Good. Price -  $21, pricey for what we got. Owner Comment -  Congrats on your success since 2015 from Taiwan and since 2018 at this location. Not sure if you are a franchise or a license model, but wishing you the best.
