Quickly

What astounds me about Quickly is its conformity within the franchise – I went to another store outside of the East Bay and the food quality was just as high.

The drinks are ok… could do better, but this review is also for customer service. My friend and I walked in, and saw nobody there, so we waited like 2 minutes until a young lady from the back tells us «can you wait like 10 mins., im on my break» WTH? We left ummedietly, Quickly, please hire more people, while your staff is on break!

This Quickly is located inside the Lion Food Shopping Center, here in Newark. It is no longer, just your typical ordinary Quickly. Now it is also, King of Dumplings inside/​combined with Quickly.
I haven’t tried any of the Quickly drinks here but I have tried the Asian dumplings, and it is pretty good. 4 stars because I think it’s neat that you can get your dumpling cravings here and also get your boba cravings here too. That makes it a plus!
Although, since the place isn’t that big, I’d rec commend if your gonna dine in for the dumplings, come early so you don’t have to wait. however if your just coming for the Quickly drinks, you should be fine, just tell them which drink you want. :)
Parking: Plenty of parking, so you shouldn’t have much of a problem finding a spot.

4 stars!

Got the taro milk tea and it was so sugary I could feel my teeth rotting, and it’s also made in a different color drink then the other Quickly places I have visited in the past. I had to throw them out. What a waste of money. Never coming back here again.

I choose this place for my group meeting, because Unilocal said it has free Wifi. but they actuary don’t have it. One of my friend ordered a noodle, but she did not like it.
Anyway, the parking is free, the price is great. Their drinks has many choose.

My Aunt and I dine here and were very pleased. We watch as they made the dumplings and pulled the noodles.
OMG! The pork elbow is WONDERFUL! We got the last one.
The 3 flavor dumpling; shrimp, pork, n chives were excellent.
The lamb dumplings are great too.
Be sure to have the Pulled Noodles with Shrimp dumplings… very favorable.
The young lady was very nice open to explaining the various items and was very helpful.
Trust me it is well worth a visit!

It was my first time at this place and I went here after seeing good Unilocal reviews. Reason for one star «To put in a Nutshell, I have been drinking bobo tea all my life, for the first time it felt like I purchased water for $ 3» the drink didn’t taste anything and was carelessly made. When I went back into the store after taking couple of sips, to get it re-​done, the lady at the counter was arrogant, she also got the first drink back and gave it back to me saying «either i can drink that one or throw it away» and the second drink tasted no better than first. I simply walked out the door and dumped both the drinks in the trash right outside the store. I would never step into this store ever again. Even a one star is too much!

Changing my mind about the popcorn chicken. Tastes great going in but I get sick every time I eat it. Not sure if it’s the oil they fry it in or what. Chances are slim that I will put my body through this torture again. But it does taste great so any thing is possible.

Got the Jasmine Milk Tea with small boba. The tea ended up tasting watered down and the tapioca balls were rather tasteless. Don’t think I would come back again.

This location was pretty quiet. There was only a group of high school kids playing a game of cards. Outside was group of high school/​freshman aged fellas smoking and fixing up there rice rockets.
The service here was fairly quick and helpful. My usual order of honey milk tea hit the spot. There was another tea place I totally forgot about in the same complex. I was recommended to go there but slipped my mind. SMDH!

Quickly here discounts their green tea, milk teas, and taro milk tea. for green tea, it’s .89 instead of 1.99. passed on the milk tea since i don’t need milk plus it’s fattening…
or you can get a combo consisting of a drink of some kind and an entrée for (popcorn chicken, etc.) 5.25?
sampling: lg green tea (1.39)
–surprisingly, it didn’t taste powdery but rather kind of sweet.
first time i wasn’t disappointed at a tea drink from quickly.
cash only

This quickly location is the same place as dumpling king. The menu is half of the regular Quickly’s menu. Also, they do not serve black tea without milk. Only green tea. When asked as to why they don’t serve it while it is on the menu… the counter guy delivered a smile and said ‘sorry!’
Might have to try their dumplings instead of bubble tea drinks since there are quite a few other places within walking distance from this place.

After Arby’s I saw a sign for King of Dumplings inside Quickly. That’s very cool. I talked to the nice, friendly lady working there and she told me they’ve been here for about a month.
They have drink specials going on — sign by the register. I got the Taro Milk Tea no pearl regular $ 2.75 — on sale for $ 2.05! It’s a sweet drink, just ok. They have a frequent buyer card — gotta ask for it.
All the dumplings & noodles are house-​made. That’s cool. I’ll try them next time.
She recommended these dishes:
Three Flavor Dumpling (12) $ 6.95
Multi-​layer Beef Pancake $ 5.95
Multi-​layer Onion pancake $ 4.95
Dessert:
she said Tianjin Special Dessert is good $ 5.95 — it’s Fried, so I can’t try it.
I’ll try Black Sesame Cake (4) Baked $ 5.95 next time.
Credit card taken over $ 15 if you eat a meal she told me. Drink she made me pay CASH!

A place where I can feel like a complete Asian and get dumplings along with milk tea? I’m sold. :O
I came here to treat my facebook wife to lunch the other day (I was paying her back for the blender I bought her… long story). She recommended the lamb dumplings to me. I haven’t had lamb anything in ages (I think the last must have been the lamb biryani in Davis), so I got us two orders and we scarfed them.
At $ 6.95 per order (you get 12 dumplings), it’s a bit pricey, but they were full of goodness. The waitress came by to give us vinegar for our dumplings, and tea, and service was prompt and pretty friendly. This place is, however, cash, only, as most Asian establishments tend to be, so be warned! :O

Wow, this poor Quickly. It is now on its third owner, and this one has decided to switch things up a bit. Almost exactly one year ago, this location was opened up by master franchise owner, Raymond Kot, and although business was less than stellar, it was soon sold to another individual who had dollar signs in his eyes, and thought he could rake in the dough. NOT.
The café was literally run by only one guy, and even then it was overstaffed. There was absolutely NO ONE coming here. I would sit for hours doing homework, and not a single soul would even window shop, let alone step inside. Things were so bad, he would often shut off a few lights and turn off the TV as cost cutting measures. On some occasions, the entire place would be closed for half a day or more with no explanation. It’s not like he was missing a whole lot of business.
So, one day last week, I was passing through on my way to NMHS for another parkour training session when I noticed this (
). Dumplings? In Quickly?
Yes, continuing with the recent trend of Quickly collaborations, a new owner is now attempting to turn the tide, and has converted this branch into a formal sit down dumpling restaurant, with tea cups, silverware, and plates already set up on the tables. The standard issue Quickly furniture and décor has all been retained, but seeing that it has not experienced a whole heck of a lot of usage, it is still in great shape.
There is no English name, which indicates that the management is aiming for more Chinese clientele. The characters translate to something along the lines of «Dumpling King,» but as far as I know, although this sounds somewhat familiar, it is not related to any of the other known establishments.
All of your favorite Quickly items — milk tea, snow, popcorn chicken, etc. — are stilll available, so if you are not in the mood for dumplings, you can just pretend it is the same as before. However, it does seem like much less of a hangout spot now, especially with the formal settings placed on each of the tables. So far, business is still sparse, but hopefully as the word gets out, more will soon discover the Quickly Dumpling King before he becomes quickly dumped.

Everytime I have an urge for tapioca pearls, I would go to Quickly in Newark because it’s so close to my home. I would always order the watermelon slush with tapioca pearls. For some reason, whatever time I go there, the pearls are still cooking. I didn’t mind the wait because I know I’m getting fresh cooked pearls and they have a fully stocked magazine rack. The last time I went here, I was waiting for the pearls to cook, so my son and I were looking at magazines. Since we had to wait, the guy at the counter gave me a large drink for the price of a regular. I love that kind of service.
Last time I was there, this place was converting to a restaurant. For some reason, it makes me feel that it’s two separate owners sharing a space. One side, they’ll be serving dumplings and the other side, they’ll be serving pearl drinks.

OMG TRD! I love this place more than any other Quickly’s I’ve ever been to. It’s big and not as cramped/​crowded like others. The staff is always friendly and their food and drinks is amazing. My favorite thing to get is Jasmine Milk Tea, Mango Slush, Tarro Bubble Tea, Peach Black Tea and Popcorn Chicken (way better than TapEx). The awesome staff, free internet, nice prices and a very roomy place to hang out with friends is the reason why I give it a ⁵⁄₅. The only thing that sucks about it is… they ONLY take CASH! =/

This is in a strip mall with other Chinese restaurants and stores next to my favorite Café Zen. I have been to other Quickly locations to get pearl tea but first time to this one.
They have an incredible variety of teas, coffee, juices and appetizers. I have noticed the same at other Hong Kong restaurants. They like variety there! I like the bright colors and modern couches.
The lychee juice was interesting and the chocolate mousse was decent. Service was great, very friendly. The music was varied to say the least. They went from hard rap to Taylor Swift to David Guetta to Katie Perry.

Quicklys never fails me. I’ve only been there about 5 times, but each time I have, I’ve been greeted with big smiles and hasty service. The staff never neglects to tell me about their latest specials, and are always very peppy when I’m ordering.
There are tons of different foods to choose from, as the menu is huge. Not to mention their delicious and inexpensive drinks. Pretty much everything on their menu is fairly priced. Even when I only have 5 bucks, I can always at least afford a nice medium sized milk tea with tapioca in it along with a filling bowl of chicken and rice.
The place itself is very well organized, and neat looking. They really did a great job on the interior design. Not only are the seats great aesthetically, but they’re also awesome in terms of comforting your butt.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that there’s free Wi-​Fi? This Quicklys is the perfect hangout spot. I’ve got nothing bad to say about this place. I’d recommend it to anyone.

So, when you read the name Quickly, you would expect that it would be such. NOT, we came here on a Wednesday night at 9pm and had to wait 7 minutes before the person was able to get our order. Then another 18 minutes to get our drinks. Which was only the Bubble Milk Tea. Half an hour to get a pre-​made drink, Methinks NOT!
I have come here before, and we were disappointed then too. The person who was making the drinks was sick and sniffling. (Made me want to run away.) Then the phone rang and she chatted on the phone for a while before making our drinks.
We came here this night because we wanted to give them a second chance to wow us, cause their menu is crazy long with so many options. My mouth was watering just reading everything they had to offer.
But we notice as we were waiting, 2 other customers waiting to get their order and another customer before us waiting to order. Hmm, that did not bode well. I felt like bolting and going to Zen Café, but as what my friend said, «You get what you pay for.» Quickly is cheaper, so don’t expect much. They also seem to only have one person working every time we come here. So that poor person has to cook the food, make the drinks and collect orders. They should really have at least 2 people working, simply for safety purposes.
The food and drinks are okay here, and if you have time to kill (at least 30 min) then this is the place to go to. But if you are on a lunch break or just want to grab a drink and run. DON’T come here.
I would have given them 2 stars, but I was so disappointed with the service that I had to take one away. They also ONLY accept CASH.
