Xing Fu Tang
805 N Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ
Crema's Take
“Xing Fu Tang stands out for its theatrical approach to boba, where you can watch them hand-stir brown sugar pearls fresh in a wok right before your eyes—a rare sight that transforms a simple drink order into a craft experience. The bright, modern space feels Instagram-worthy and meticulously clean, making it an inviting spot for families or a quick grab, and if you're also hitting up the neighboring Mensho ramen spot, you can snag a nice discount on your bubble tea order.”

Terrible experience here. As others have noted, customer service is non-existent. My party (husband, me, kids and nieces) was met with attitude from staff, snarky responses during the order process and then our order sat at the counter until we asked whether or not it was our order. The boba itself was nothing special, but the milk tea stood out as one of the worst we’ve ever had. I know this place is “famous” is Taiwan, so maybe we came on an off day, but it tasted like staff took the actual milk tea, added plain water, then served it up. When we reported back to staff that there was something wrong with the drinks, they refused to remake or refund because they stated that we had already taken a sip and therefore, the drink was non-refundable. How would I have known the drink was as bad as it was without taking a sip?! How illogical? After some more words were exchanged, a male staff person offered a refund of the two drinks that were the biggest disappointment. My nieces left the refunded drinks on the counter and the other two drinks I purchased ended up in the trash. I’m mostly upset that I spent so much money at Mensho Ramen, then they sent me to this boba place to be robbed.
12/6/25: Not bad, not great, rather underwhelming. Xing Fu Tang has an agreement with next-door Mensho's (ramen). Bring in their receipt & get 15% off your bubble tea order. That said, had we not just eaten at Mensho's, we never would have known about Xing. It's a nice wide open space for sure, very clean. This was the first boba shop we've visited where we saw a huge wok full of boba. It was pretty dang cool. The guy/gal behind the counter spoke very softly so I had to lean in to hear what they were saying. Xing's does not have an extensive menu, and they were out of about half a dozen items/drinks. Unfortunately, not everything they were out of was labeled as such, nor was it covered up as being not available so one bubble tea we wanted was a no go. Not a promising first-time visit. Their bowls look pretty interested (only about six options) so IF (that's a big if) we stop in again, we may try a bowl. Then again, with all the other bubble tea stores available, stopping in again to Xing may not be worth it ... unless we eat at Mensho's again, putting us in the area. :-)
The taste is good, and the true highlight is watching them make the brown sugar pearls right there in the shop! I really like how they prepare the boba internally, often stirring the pearls in a wok, which demonstrates their commitment to freshness and flavor. Highly recommended for authentic, tasty brown sugar boba tea.
This cute little boba spot tucked inside a complex is worth giving a shot. The interiors are bright, modern, and Instagram-worthy, and everything feels super clean and well-presented. The bobas are delicious—perfectly chewy pearls and balanced flavors—at very decent prices. With plenty of free parking right outside, there’s no hassle at all. Whether you’re a boba regular or just curious, it’s definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend stopping by for a refreshing drink!
Not many places make their tapioca pearls in house so I appreciated that this place did! If you dine at Mensho and show your receipt to them, there’s a small 10-15% discount. Saw the soft serve was new on the menu (with a sold out post it), but the staff noted the machine is out and they weren’t bringing it back anytime soon which is a shame since they previously had earl grey and black sesame flavors. I usually order the passion fruit or the kumquat refresher teas. It’s a little pricier as the drinks start at $7 without toppings at the regular size. I’ve also had the bingsu in the past and it’s definitely shareable - I would only caution the bowl is made of a lighter plastic so it can easily slip. The interior is spacious with a bunch of seating. The fortune telling sticks are also a neat idea! The place is good overall, but I wouldn’t make a special trip for this.
