This is our first time being at this place and honestly the boba it self it’s good but I think the reviews is inaccurate that 4.3 stars is just for the drink itself what they are known for but for food wise ugh seriously a rating of a 0 not worth it, people are just only hyping this up for the drinks, the food is NOT worth what you pay, they are literally small appetizers like the crab rangoon you get 4 of them and it’s size of a gulf ball that’s how small it is, rather go to kanki or a different restaurant, bulgogi nachos with Korean flank stake is so freaking salty and hard/dry the nacho chip it’s self with the beans with light drizzle of cheese is the only thing we ate, the bulgogi soup bowl that’s with Korean marinated flank steak (salty/dry like it’s been in the freezer too long) egg noodles not fully cooked still taste hard and steamed veggies was ok and it was garnished with scallions in meat stock, the Korean marinated flank steak itself made the soup more salty, bulgogi bao you get 2 of them, Korean marinated flank steak again hard as hell/dry and the bread that’s holding the meat again it’s DRY you’d think it’s a steam bun thats soft, don’t let the pictures fool you. Shrimp summer roll you get 2 is only thing that is worth buying tbh. Overall I spent $64 in this place I would have gone somewhere else paying that amount and eat better. NOT worth going to this place at all and never coming back, employee wise has horrible customer service especially the girl she had the worst attitude.

The place is ok. We ate in but got our food in styrofoam to go containers. We got the pork baos - good, the tofu baos - tofu had no flavor and the tofu vermicelli - tofu was blend, otherwise ok. The entrance glass doors/windows and some surfaces could use a good cleaning. Would not go again.

Interesting little unassuming spot in the downtown area. Lots of menu options for both foods and bubble tea. The Vietnamese chicken salad was nice and refreshing, although I think it would have been better with a little bit of a kick - maybe an option for a sriracha drizzle would be nice. Also, since I got it to go (possibly everything is packaged to go even though there is a small seating area) it would have been nice to have the salad dressing on the side for transport. For the price it was a good size. Also tried the Thai tea with boba. The boba was a good texture and the tea was also good.
