I think that this boba shop is SO cute. I took pictures the moment I stepped through the door. Overall, I think this place is good. I have had 2 drinks here and they were decent, not my favorite drink, but still fulfilled my cravings. The thing that keeps me coming back is the K-dogs! I’m so happy that Iowa finally has some K-dogs in the area. I have tried the full cheese and half/half hot cheeto dog, but I prefer the full cheese one!Will definitely come back for snacks!

Service was quick! Kind of pricey but it's a lot of food! The menus are pretty self-explanatory. I've had Korean hot dogs before so I knew what to expect. The menu has suggestions for fillings, etc to help you along. The staff is also really eager to answer any questions as busy as they are. The boba tea was delicious but the hot dogs were🔥🔥🔥 It was my friend's first time having them and she loved them! They're definitely a novelty food and not meant for every day consumption but it's safe to say that this is a treat! Not gonna lie, the Ube/Cheese rolled in sugar was my favorite and I don't even like dessert foods 🤯🤯🤯

*be warned that if you want the Korean Corn Dog, the wait could take up to an hour. Also order online if you want to secure your corndogs when supply still last and avoid wasting time!Cute little boba shop with nice decor! The boba/pearls themselves were tasty and tender in texture. The drinks could use a bit of work. I went twice and first time both of our drinks were WAY too sweet(ordered 25% sugar), the second time was much better but lack the ordered flavor (lavender).The Corn dogs were actually delicious and a really good size for the prize! Totally worth the wait! Love that they make them from scratch!They probably need a more streamlined ordering system, starting with separate lines for online order pickup and in-store order. They are a new small business so please be patient and know it’ll be worth the wait!

The boba milk tea was underwhelming. I had the Okinawa classic milk tea and it was very watered down. It tastes like tea with sugar with a dash of milk. 4/10The Korean corn dog was decent. I had the half and half fried potato (half beef frank and half mozzarella cheese with fried potatoes). Though I am pretty disappointed that instead of cubed potatoes, naughtea has used chopped up French fries instead, it still tasted alright. 7/10TLDR: SKIP the boba milk tea. Go someplace else. Korean corn dogs are worth a try. My bill came to about $13.

I feel like this place was unfortunately over-hyped. ):we got a large brown sugar jasmine tea with boba pearls & a small peach slushy with boba pearls for the drinks. we also got a hot cheeto half&half corndog & a potato half&half corndog. our total was $30 with a tip.** pictures for size reference **the jasmine tea was something new for me & it was odd at first but grew on me. the boba is pretty small for being an add on & i have preferred another place that has larger pearls. the peach slushy lacked peach flavor but it was okay. the corndogs were pretty good, the hot cheeto being our preferred over the potato which didn't taste like much. maybe we needed sauce? but we did not want to pay additional for sauce. i feel like the prices are a little on the higher side - i enjoy another location whose drinks are a tad smaller but their boba pearls are larger for around the same price if not a little bit less. $30 seemed to be a lot for what we got, but, the corndogs filled us up. the service was good, nice staff. i don't think i would come again though based on the boba size & the price. i wasn't wowed unfortunately):

We really enjoyed the beef and cheese Korean corn dogs. We had the original breading as well as hot Cheetos. The milk tea was great with popping bobas or tapioca pearls. There are a lot of options that can seem intimidating at first, if you have a chance check out the menu before going in. It was definitely unique!

First, they out of boba pearl.. Then, their milk tea tastes not very strong. The taro one is creamy but no tea taste at all, the mango passion fruit jasmine milk tea, doesn't taste the Jasmine flavor until the bottom. The classic milk tea taste watery and forgot sweetener even though I ordered 50% sugar level. Over all, the taste is very so-so, doesn't worth the price. Reall well made milk tea should be well balanced tea flavor and other flavors, after all i drunk them for many years back in Asia. Ordered a K dog as well, waited 40mins, found out they missed my order. Then took another ten minutes got it made, but tell me can't be a half and half. So end up, got a huge ube dough wrap a huge lump mozzarella cheese, wasn't worth the price and my almost hour waiting. Not going to return there.

Delicious! Biting into Naughtea’s Korean corn dog is everything you’d expect it to be after watching one too many food ASMR videos. I can’t overstate how happy the crunch made us, it was perfection.Both the cheese and the hotdog were fantastic fillings and we couldn’t have been happier with the Classic and Potato corn dog options. We’re excited to try the others in the future.As fantastic as the corn dog was, the namesake can’t be overlooked either. The boba in the milk tea was soft all the way through and the flavors were a hit. We loved Lavender for a more subtle drink and Okinawa was a much stronger, delicious kick of flavor. We’re so looking forward to their other drinks as well as trying their variety of flavors!Even if you’re not sure this is your style of cuisine, come try it out. You’ll love their space and the customer service was lovely. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured to buy more than we wanted. Definitely a repeat stop for us!

I went here when it isn’t busy and I love this place. The corndog is delicious 9/10. Milk tea is ok for me 7/10 but I have tried waterlemon + oat milk and matcha mango ones are very good 8.5/10. So definitely come back again !

Nice atmosphere. My son enjoyed the tic tac toe board, just not the milk tea.. but he’s 4, can’t mess with his Chocolate milk 😆.

Had to get the purple ube corn dog for the Bts cupsleeve event. It was busy. So many fun goodies and shops. Brings back memories of Bts

Corn dogs, sooo good. Not a tone of seating but if you don’t go on the weekend you can probs find a seat. Can’t claim to be an expert on milk tea but loved the popping bobas :)

This was my first and last time here. First off, they’re overpriced and overhyped. Secondly, they ask if you want any sauce with your corn dog but they forget to give it to you. Lastly as I was eating it I saw it had a hair 🤢😩😩. Never again

I was very excited to try as I’ve had Korean corn dogs in LA before. However, I was sad to find a hair in mine. My friend’s corn dog was perfectly fine, but I am disappointed with how mine was.

This was definitely a nice treat to have in the area. The prices seemed reasonable for what you get. The cheese to meat ratio was well portioned. It wasn’t too cheesy that it would make you gag just trying to eat it. The restaurant is a little crowded and with the long lines, you really don’t get much room to dine in. A restaurant this size would better for takeout.They also call your food and drinks separately instead of all at once. With a long line, it was hard to retrieve our food. Like all fried food that gets reheated, it was soggy the next day. The employees seemed to be somewhat friendly. I would recommend trying the food over their drinks. The menu did have a lot to choose from and different add ons. Overall, I would recommend visiting at times that they aren’t busy, like right when they open.

love love their corn dog! the flavour is really authentic and the size is huge!! It can b a little pricey with drinks but my boyfriend and I usually share 1 because the size is so big. The owner is really nice and they make all their food and drinks in house. Really worth a try!!

Tried the strawberry princess jasmine milk tea. Divine! Very complex almost earthy tea flavor and perfect balance of milk tea. Also had the hot Cheeto all beef w/ American cheese and potato fries all beef w/ American cheese. So. Good. The dough actually had a very nicely seasoned flavor and crunchy yet soft texture. The fries were cut in small bite size pieces which was very nice. Prices are also very fair compared to similar shops in Ankeny. Service was very warm, fun and top tier. will definitely be regulars around here 😋 😎
