★★★★★ 5.0 Sly Carino · Oct 2025

In a nutshell; decent drinks, various food options, and a nice place to just hang out at or get take out. Located at a Plaza so parking shouldn't be an issue. Menu isnt too pricey and grabbing and food and snack or any of the food options shouldn't run you a lot of money. I do appreciate that I was able to try all the sauces when getting the popcorn chicken which seems like a lot of places charge extra now for just sauces which is a shame so I applaud this place for not running it extra at least in my case, person who took my order was also great. Overall , would drop by again if I'm ever in the area and looking forward to try their other stuff.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jonathan Su · Jun 2025

Good food, large portions with enough to take home. The drinks are not as flavorful as other places, particularly the Yakult drinks which did not have much Yakult flavor. It was very warm and muggy inside, so it was a little uncomfortable to eat there on a warmer spring evening. We ended not finishing our meal and took it home to finish because my wife and kids were complaining about how hot and muggy they were. Overall a good place to get food, but their drinks are not as good as other Boba/Tea shops in town. Also for the comfort of customers, they should turn on the A/C (might have been broken, but I didn’t ask). We did like their food which was flavorful and would go back for their other food dishes, but may get our tea drinks elsewhere.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Almétus · Oct 2025

We love this place. It has great Boba tea amongst the bao buns that are sooo good. The prices are really affordable, especially for the good quality in food and size if boba drinks. The owner is very accommodating. Once a friend ordered the wrong drink and he took it back and remade it without issue. I highly recommend coming here.

★★★★★ 5.0 Marlene Lee · Dec 2024

This was the first we visited this restaurant. Actually, it's more like pickup or delivery where there were limited tables to sit at and our food was packed to go. We chose to sit. So we ordered Chicken and Tofu with Cold Boiled Egg over Rice, Beef Noodle Soup, and Braised Pork Belly and Chinese Sausage over Rice. The food was excellent, meat was tendered and well cooked! Especially the chicken. With the chicken dish, I would love to have some veggies. There were none. I would come back for a pick up or delivery but not to dine in.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jillian Clark · Dec 2025

Stopped by for a quick to-go order on our roadtrip. I was the only customer and my order took 30 minutes (dumplings, popcorn chicken, and bao). The best item was the chicken (even though a little heavy). Would worry about wait times during a busy hour.
