Great place to get some rice bowls and chicken.Vivi’s has been one of my go-to spot for a quick lunch. Although, their specialty seems to be bubble tea, they do an amazing job with the popcorn chicken and the rice bowls. All the rice bowls have the same classic Japanese bowl toppings - seaweed salad, pickled ginger and pickled radish. Among the 4 bowl options, beef and onion bowl was my favorite, and the combination of pickled ginger and greasy beef and onions was especially satisfying. Their popcorn chicken was also very tender, and I would recommend getting either the basil or the curry flavor.
The two Boba teas were fine. The black milk tea was pretty good I thought it was strange that you had to include a bubble in the topping with extra costs but that’s OK it was pretty good anyway. The honeydew was very good as well but it did taste a slight bit of artificial flavoring. The barbecue sausage was very good but a little pricey.
I normally go to vivi bubble in quincy one ordered popcon chicken all the time, thought vivi at Mass ave would be the same. But the Popcon chicken is not crispy and the tarot crepe is even worse, melt and the crepe is not soft at all. I would recommend lady M if u ever gonna order crepe.
Popcorn chicken is a must! Lots of boba choices and passion fruit tea is super delish. Only caveat is there is a $10 minimum on card orders
I am so upset. My popcorn chicken was cold was I received it. And even worse, the female worker had the audacity to tell me it was suppose to be like that because they take it out! I have been to the Vivi here at Mass Ave many times, as well as the one in Brighton, and it’s never been cold. You’re hot food is never suppose to be cold.I ordered so much today too. I ordered popcorn chicken, two rice bowls, two large drinks, the egg waffle, and an onigiri. So while my popcorn chicken was being reheated or redone (I don’t know which), my egg waffle was cooling down and wasn’t going to be as crispy.
Finally I was around when the place is open! Eel rice was delicious, small lunch/snack size portion but a bit pricey for the size ($12.95). The fruit tea was great but unfortunately they give you so little toppings compared to other boba shops but cost the same. It's like their topping scoops are half the size.
We almost always go there for small eats until Prices got raised.. Lots of variety small dishes and amazing fruit drinks and creative ice cream choices.A single piece of flavored tornado chip costs 695. That can be the price of a full rice plate in some restaurants. It is frustrating that They do not keep their schedule updated online and it varies day by day. Many times we got too excited just to arrive and its not open as advertised.
one of best bubble teas in Boston. It’s cheap too!
The popcorn chicken is the best. I literally come here just for that over and over again. There is a $10 minimum for card so I do have to get other stuff with it but it's OK. Come here for the chicken, you won't regret it.
One of very few places that opens late where you can cater to boba cravings. Good selection of drinks and friendly staff that acknowledges you instead of ignoring you no matter how busy they get. My only gripe is toppings aren’t as plentiful as it can be per serving size. Since they open so late that I can get my boba fill each time, it’s going to be five stars. What is not to love when at midnight on some days I can get boba.
