I wish their scoop of boba was more generous. I had to come back after I drank half my drink and buy another scoop. Btw, the photo is just one scoop.

The lady working there (an older woman) was just the sweetest. She greeted us with a big smile, welcomed us in, and even thanked us for stopping by. It really made the visit feel extra personal. We tried a few drinks: the Mango Fresh Milk with boba was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet which is perfect for a hot day. The Iced Matcha with boba was smooth and flavorful; I loved that it actually tasted like real matcha. I did ask for less ice, which oddly came with an extra 85 cent charge, but honestly, it was still worth it. My daughter got the Kuma Blue Cloud Raspberry, which was creamy, fun looking, and caffeine free! It's definitely a nice spot to grab a good drink and relax for a bit. The only downside is that they don't have a public restroom, which was a little inconvenient. Still, we'll definitely be back for more drinks and that friendly service!

It was a hot day and I felt the air conditioner was not on high enough and it was warm inside. I went with 3 other people. I ordered the spring rolls which came with shrimp. The peanut sauce lacked flavor and overall the spring rolls were okay but weren't anything special. I also ordered the pork and shrimp rice plate. Others in my party ordered soups and a chicken and vegetable rice plate. When I got my order, I was a bit disappointed there were only two thin pieces of pork. It was a pretty small portion and I felt like they skimped on my portion size. The 2 soups that were ordered were large portions and the other chicken and vegetable rice plate had way more food also. The pork and shrimp had good grilled/BBQ flavor but was a bit salty for me. I did really like the pickled carrots, radish, and a cabbage pickled with red peppers. I was surprised my plate came with a soup because it didn't say on the menu. It was a clear chicken broth which was plain and simple but had really good favor. Overall, my experience was okay. The service was okay. We weren't ready to order yet the first time and they took a while to come back to take our order even though there wasn't anyone else in the restaurant. They didn't really check on us until way later to see how the food was and to refill water but they did bring us the check. We ended up going up the counter to pay for the meal. The small amount of pork was disappointing considering the portion of the other dishes. I would consider trying this place again if I pass through.

Great place. The…read moretomato-basil soup is reasonably priced and delicious, served with a nice garlic bread. Cheerful, friendly staff. Great ambience. The missing star is for the prices. Maybe they are economically justified by inflation, but they seem extreme even accounting for inflation. Makes one think of gasoline prices, which "go up like a rocket and come down like a feather." We have not had extreme inflation for a few years now. Well, I guess that's what the market will bear in this affluent little town. In any case, management takes a bit of the sting out of the high prices by offering several modestly priced sides.

The inside was clean but dated, Upon Entry I was immediately seated, The hostess was very was nice and was able to answer my questions on the menu. Ordered the dinner portion of the Chicken Katsu with rice and macaroni salad, Egg Rolls, and the Fried Gyoza. The Gyoza's came out first, These were really good as they weren't deep fried but pan fried with slightly crispy bottom with chewy top. The sauce that they give you with the Gyoza's went well along with the green onions. The Egg Roles came out next, They were good as well and freshly fried. The sweat and sour sauce went well with the rolls, wasn't too sweet but had a bit of spice as well. The Chicken Katsu plate we next, the Katsu was freshly fried which perfect as it keeps the breading from getting hard or to crunchy and the chicken juicy. The Katsu sauce went well with the chicken rice and macaroni salad as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will come back to try other items on the menu in the future.
