With our bento, I tried several different things including braised chicken, tomato egg, pork rice and everything was neat but nothing wowed me. Good for a quick lunch. Their teas/milk teas are not as extensive as a specialty shop but are indeed very fragrant.

Having spent most of my childhood in Taiwan then 10 years in the 626 area in Southern California,…read morelet's just say I am very picky when it comes to Taiwanese food. This place definitely hits the spot and is able to satisfy my Taiwanese food cravings whenever I come in. The service is always quick and nice. They are also super kid-friendly. I have two young children who can be messy eaters, spilling water and dropping food, and the waiters have always been so patient with them. 100% recommend this place for anyone who is looking to experience authentic Taiwanese food!

Apparently, it is possible, thanks to Boba Bothell. We stayed at a hotel just right behind where Boba is situated. My daughter had a craving for boba, so I dropped her and the wife off while I get back to our hotel. When they got back, I asked my daughter what was the name of the place. "Boba" Abigail answered. "Yeah, what's the name?", I replied? "Boba! With two dots!!". Hmm okay, so plain. I asked her for a sip... WTH? What is this?! It so good! It was their Brown Sugar with creme brulé. The brown sugar, oh so yummy, perfectly harmonious with their creme brulé. The brulé was not heavy and overpowering and perfectly matches the drink. I had to get my own drink. We came back the next day and I ordered myself with the aforementioned drink. Wow, just so refreshing. The interior is nicely decorated, and I love that fact that Boba is uniquely independent and uniquely Bothell. Local residents, you have yourselves and excellent boba place by the way of Boba Bothell. My my friend whose a new implant to the area stay of a long time so we can get back to Boba Bothell and have lots of their excellent Brown Sugar Creme Brulé.

Order via QR code at the table and pay there, or I think you can order at the front counter. They bring the food to your table. Self serve water, cutlery and small bowls. Menu is mainly noodles and rice. They have dishes from different Chinese cuisines, but are more known for Hunan-style. My friend from Hunan recommended I get the beef combo rice noodle soup. I got the default wide noodles, but you can pick the thinner round noodles. Came out pretty quickly after ordering. Decent sized bowl, with a variety of beef offal pieces like tripe, tendon, maybe even intestine along with some meat pieces. Also has daikon and bok choy. The soup is slightly spicy and peppery, but not overly so. Nice savory flavor. Price was $20+ with tax and tip. Solid place for a quick bowl of noodles or rice.

Atmosphere: Spacious, average noise, forgettable music in the background that is drowned out by conversation. Service: wait to be seated, you will be watered, you will be given a paper menu and a pen to mark your order at the table, pay at your table via portable checkout with a server at the end of your meal. Menu: brief descriptions and some colored photos. The website has photos of everything. Kid friendliness: high chairs, plastic cups with lids and straws. Sweet and Sour Cucumbers: refreshing between bites of salty foods but I find that the slices are a bit too thin, which gives it a mushier texture. It's also a bit annoying to cut and share with the serrated butter knife that they provide--I think food scissors would be more appropriate. Green Onion Pancake: shrinkflation hit this one hard. The slices are so small these days. Still tastes good and is a classic must have to snack on. Five Spice Beef Shank: thin cold cuts of beef that are a tad on the salty side but go well with the cucumbers! Pork Xiao Long Bao: If you didn't order it, why are you here? (haha) Love the soup in these. Broccoli with Seafood Sauce: had a cooked caterpillar wedged between the florets--was off putting but hey, it happens. Server was kind enough to remove it from the bill. Kale with Sesame Dressing: Love the flavor of this dish. Be warned, it comes with crushed peanuts sprinkled on top but it's not listed in the menu, which I find strange. Minced Chicken Noodles: one of my favorite dishes here. I love the pickled green bean bits and the spice is something I can *sort of* handle. I'm a spice weakling.
