I'm not really a matcha person but I LOVE ube and Thai tea, so naturally OMO has been on my list to…read moretry for a longgg time. TLDR: it's worth it. Food & drink: (5/5) I got the ube s'more float and my partner got the Thai tea with cream. The float consists of Thai tea on the bottom, ube and tea soft serve on top, and ube marshmallow around the rim. It was my first time ever having OMO and my first time having ube and Thai tea together so I was very intrigued. Needless to say, they made a very good combo. I would describe the flavor as kind of earthy from the tea and custard-like from the ube. The marshmallow was pleasant for the first couple bites but by the end was a little too sweet. I got a sip of my partner's drink and it was also very good, though I can't say that I prefer it over a regular Thai tea without the additional cream. I'm hoping to come back to try the kaya toast and ube hot chocolate. Service: (5/5) We came in a rush at about 7:40pm because we were scared of a potential last call but they actually accepted orders until the very last minute. It's a very small store with only a front counter and one kiosk, and you wait in a line outside. It's definitely a different system compared to most places but they make great use out of their space. There was one worker very efficiently guiding the line and several others behind the counter, making drinks pretty fast.

There was some iffy planning on a Bellevue teriyaki restaurant's part when they locked my two…read morefoodie friends and I out of eating there an hour and a half before closing with no explanation, so we found this place instead. One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

I thought it was another fast-casual spot but this place really stands out from the rest. I got the…read morechirashi bowl and the fish was fresh, the rice well flavored, and portion size satisfactory. Really enjoyed it. My family got the aburi sake and volcano donburis and enjoyed their food as well. They have a wide variety of donburi options - fish, meat, katsu, and tofu. Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

You can't go wrong with Farine. It's legit French baked goods so my glucose doesn't go through the…read moreroof but the taste is magnificent! It's too damn crowded which is annoying but that's because it's so good everyone wants to be here. I wish they would open another location nearby so it wouldn't be torture coming here with the crowds as I'd love to sit back and enjoy the environment.

This was the perfect post-church brunch and coffee spot!…read more I loved all the natural lighting in the space. There was tons of seating both inside and outside. Free parking in the garage below (at least on Sunday it was free). Service is counter service. They had a variety of brunch items and a great coffee menu. I loved their Sweet Matcha Latte. It was the perfect balance of sweet and matcha flavor.

Ridiculously over priced with not much substance nor flavor…read more I ordered a ginger tofu bowl which contained literally 4 pieces of tofu cut in 1.5" squares over white rice. Tofu was not tasty. Granted it's a ginger tofu bowl, but no other flavoring was present. With such little amount of tofu, that would be considered a side, not main. It probably cost them $2 in ingredients, if that, but charged me almost 10x markup at $18.
