This shop appears to rely heavily on pre-made, artificially flavored syrups rather than fresh…read moreingredients. Behind the counter, there are large plastic containers of syrup concentrates. Based on what I observed and tasted, the drinks are essentially syrup mixed with water and ice, which results in an overly sweet, artificial flavor and unnatural coloring. Even as someone familiar with flavored boba drinks, this was among the lowest quality I've had. While the menu lists "real fruit" options, the ordering process doesn't distinguish between fresh fruit and flavored syrups, and the drink I received did not taste like it contained real fruit. It was ultimately undrinkable. When I brought this up, I was told I would need to purchase a new drink rather than having the issue addressed, which was disappointing from a customer service standpoint. I had ti throw the drink away. One of our drinks (taro coconut) was better, but still not strong enough to offset the overall experience. Given the quality and service, I would not recommend this shop to anyone that values high quality boba.

I rate this 4/5 because I liked the kalua pork more; I personally liked the flavor more. The pork lau lau was too dry for my preference; wasn't sure if it's always liked that. I would recommend getting just the Kalua pork combo plate if I ate here again.

Because of the DD mishap, the owner gave us 6 donuts. We came in the next day and grabbed some. The maple-bacon donut and Malasadas were pillowy and delicious.

Update/Response to business: Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, that isn't what we…read moreexperienced. No names were called when the food was brought out, and there were only two parties dining in the restaurant. The food was placed directly on the other table, where it was eaten while we waited another 20 minutes for our order to be remade. From what we observed, the other party appeared to know the staff and was not asked to pay while we were there. Mistakes happen, and as fellow business owners, we understand that. What disappointed us was how the situation was handled. We would have appreciated ownership of the mistake and an effort to make it right. We wish you and your business the best. Original review: We stopped here for a light lunch after the Fern Grotto tour. The iced coffee was very good, but unfortunately our dining experience was disappointing. When ordering, the employee at the counter seemed impatient while we looked over the menu, and the interaction felt rushed. We ordered fries, wings, two malasadas, and a loco moco without an egg. While waiting we ended up getting iced coffees. After waiting about 15-20 minutes, our food was brought to another group, even though it matched our order exactly. We had to point out the mistake ourselves. The other group proceeded to eat the entire meal we paid for while we waited another 20 minutes for our order to be remade. There was very little acknowledgment of the error, no meaningful apology, and no effort to make the situation right beyond offering us different food while we waited. We had already paid and ultimately asked for our meal to go. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled matters. Watching another table eat the meal we had ordered and paid for without anyone taking ownership of the situation made for a very uncomfortable experience. The wings and fries were average, the coffee was excellent, but based on the service and how this was handled, I would not recommend stopping here for a meal.
