First time visitor so I stuck with the smiley faces on the menu which represented the recommended Entrees. We had a group of 6 (heads up — 18% gratuity added for groups of 4 or more). Everyone got something different. The beef kimchi over rice was the best. The lemon grass chicken over noodles was flavorless & greasy. The Thai spicy shrimp over rice was way to sweet! No one even wanted to finish it. The portions were big but they matched the price point. The food came out in random raves. My appetizer platter came out last so I tried to cancel it because we already had a ton of food and I was told that I couldn’t. Overall, the customer service was bad. The food was just okay. But the beef kimchi was on point this night! The boba 🧋 was fantastic! No complaints there.
We went there for dessert and they had lovely ice cream called bubble waffle ice cream. It was amazing. We took strawberry one and that wasn’t too sweet and filled with strawberries kiwi and many more. Loved it. And also fruit tea was lovely too. Staff was good. Only problem is place is little bit small so you don’t have enough space to wait and select what you want to order. They have a long menu so you need some time to think. Overall loved it. We gonna go again for dinner also.
My friend wanted us to dry durian flavored ice cream…. Stinky, yet delicious! The kids really enjoyed trying a few different things from the menu. On a hot day at his spot is a perfect stop. Will be revisiting next time we are in China town. Bussin!
This restaurant definitely seemed like it was more popular for the amount of milk tea options than for the food. We were very pleased with how quickly we got our food and some things tasted really good, however, my meal made me physically sick a few hours after we left, one other dish was pretty dry, and none of us finished the milk tea because it tasted a little off. We will eat at a different place next time we are in Chinatown.
Chinatown gem! Fresh, bold-flavored food + friendly, quick service. Fun anime murals and lively vibe. Ended with the viral Propitious Mango & Peach ice creams—adorable fruit-shaped domes! 🥭🍑 Creamy, airy insides with a crisp white chocolate shell; mango's tropical and sweet, peach is delicately floral and refreshing. We'll be back!
