    Honeydew Milk Tea and Pearl Milk Tea
    Christina Z.

    Best honeydew I've had before! Doesn't taste as artificial, more like the actual fruit. Could do with a bit less milk. Pearl milk tea is not bad, not too sweet, but very milky. Pearls themselves weren't braised in sugar so they aren't very sweet alone.

    Strawberry Milk Tea

    My middle name is Boba and I am a boba connoisseur. One of my go to spots for boba. I love how chewy, warm and soft bubbles they are. I have had strawberry, mango and peach drinks. All of them are so delicious and made to perfection.

    Got the Pearl Milk Tea - the boba was over cooked and the drink is very milky and sweet, not very strong tea flavor. Also it has a little powdery texture. They don't ask how you want your sugar or ice level so you're just stuck with how it is. The only option in SoNo but not good bubble tea.

    Yay for another boba place in town! Glad it's becoming more mainstream here in CT. Tried their taro and brown sugar and both tasted great. The staff were friendly and efficient. Located on the 2nd floor, inside Sono mall.

    Hmm, I would say the drinks are just okay. Given the price ($7-8), I don't think it was really worth it. I got a passion fruit fest and while it tasted fine, there was nothing special about it and there was a lotttt of foam that filled about half the drink. It's located at a small kiosk at the SoNo Collection and during my visit on Saturday, there was no line.

    Super cute kiosk in the SoNo collection! Beautiful decor - whimsical even and the service is super courteous. I don't usually care for the tapioca pearls but for some reason these taste different (read:better) than others. Matcha is spectacular and perfect afternoon pick-me-up and the packaging was really cute also - so glad I'm right across the street!

    I just prefer the Passionfruit bubble tea at Whale Tea, especially for the lower price.

I ordered two miso ramen with a load of add-ons to go following the epic snowstorm... it was positively delicious. Broth was balanced, savory and had the perfect aspect of heat... pork belly was cooked to perfection and I love how they prepare the perfect tamago (egg). A special treat is the saki flight-- Hayro is very well versed in his tasting note knowledge and origins of the featured sakis and was ultra kind, consistent with his execution of dynamic cocktails behind the bar. Love the ambiance, music is always on point and the bar set-up is ultra inviting... I prefer that over sitting in a booth. Rafael, the manager, was ultra attentive and very gracious towards me as a waiting patron... he even surprised me with a little KFC Bao which was absolutely magical with the sauces provided! Professionalism 10.0 and so endearing! I would recommend double checking your to go orders, especially if the order is a bit complex or heavy on the add-on factor (my cabbage was left out but I believe it was substituted for a larger order of greens)... but Betsy was polite and patient amidst me being a picky foodie in my ordering process! I can't thank this team enough for consistently delicious food and noteworthy customer service... it is ultra popular for a reason! *Posted while currently waiting on yet another to go order-- thank you, Mecha!*

    * Takeout! Traveling…read morefor work, staying at the Marriot down the road.. I saw this place come up on a Yelp search as a highly rated spot nearby. I threw an order in for delivery through Uber Eats while I jumped in the shower. Took 30 minutes to arrive, the food was piping hot and presented beautifully, despite the foil and plastic containers. Overall delicious. The Saigon egg rolls are served with a Vietnamese dipping sauce fresh mint and lettuce wraps, and they were light and crispy and all the flavors together incredible. The KFC bao bun was a little on the dry side, but had a satisfying gochujang glaze with crunchy pickled veggies nestled in a soft pillowy bun. Kimchi fried rice was bursting with flavors and the creamy yolk from the fried egg added a velvety richness. There was a nice presence of bacon, fried shallots and scallion. Overall perfect. Excited to try the Ramen and Pho sometime!

    As I close in on 100 reviews on Yelp, I've been trying to think of what place is going to have that…read morehonor. This review will make 97. So a thing I've thought about the place itself is that this is one of those places I walked by more times than I can count, but I have never actually set foot in here. Honestly, when I was in my 20's I always thought this place was like one or two steps at most from being evicted from business, partly because it was always closed whenever I would pass by it. But I have wanted to try this place for years, and I didn't mind that how I did it was by ordering on UberEats. So that was exactly what I did today. Thankfully, I had a promo on UberEats I was using where I could get a certain percentage off if I'd spent $25, and paired with my UberOne membership, I saved $11.27 on this order, roughly a quarter of what it would have cost me otherwise. I went with the Pork BBQ Meal Special, the Halo-Halo, and then the Turon was a closing thought that I ended up including in my order. So by the time I got to try the Halo-Halo it had already partly melted, so I had to treat it as half a dessert and half a drink. It is still easily one of the most interesting and curious thing I've eaten yet. It's like an ice cream parfait with some ube, a mochi cakelike thing next to that ube, and you can see all sorts of nuts and berries on the bottom. It's a fun and dare I say delicious treat, and I would have liked to have that fresh one day. Next, let's talk about the Turons. Honestly, these were also interesting and curious things to eat. Think a deep-fried banana with a honey glaze on top and that's what you get. It's a nice combination of crispy, tart, and sweet. The tartness does remind me of the plantain used to make the canoa appetizers at nearby Costa Vino, but it works much better on these Turons. The sweetness helps keep the acidity from being overpowering here, and the crunch and honey compliment each other as well. Finally, let's get to the main course here. What this is is a pork kebab on a skewer, served with rice, two slices of cucumber, half a slice of tomato, and a vinegary liquid that I can't quite put my finger on what it could be. The pork itself is juicy and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce is coated in a perfect ratio that nothing overpowers the other. Both get their chance to shine here. The rice was good, and while I probably could have done without the tomato, I did appreciate the cucumber. The liquid I think could be used as an accompaniment to other dishes too, but I wouldn't eat it on its own. Overall, I'm glad I did this. Just from the Halo-Halo and Turons alone, I had already begun to feel my newfound appreciation on Filipino food rise up. And after my second time having ube, I think I gotta see more ube things in my life.
