    The cup is cute. The drink in it was not good at all. It taste like dirty water. The bobba taste like she froze it and it taste like freezer? I can't pin point if it's the ice, bobba or the water that makes this taste bad. But they need to figure it out. I can see why the place is empty even though they have a few games to play with.

    This place is good but takes an eternity. After waiting ten min she finally came and took our order. Twenty later we get it with one order wrong. Sent it back and she came back with my correct one. I ordered the pineapple ice tea with the lychee pearls and mango jelly. Good but overpriced and not worth the wait.

    This place is great every time I go I'm greeted by there friendly workers. I've only been there a hand full of times but they remember me by first name and even what I usually drink. Makes me feel like a true regular. I love being able to mix ingredients and toppings so it's EXACTLY what I want every single time!

    Very welcoming people, with great entertainment they had a connect games with a big size jenga game! The drinks were delicious

    It's spacious and has board games to keep people occupied.

    Came across this place as I was riding my bike. Seems like a decent place and has plenty of seatings. One thing I've tried so far is the taro milk tea which was ok, it wasn't bad at all. Board games are set up on the table for those bored or just want something to do.

    Well looks can be deceiving. My drink looks tasty but unfortunately it has no flavor at all. Let me say that I LOVE bubble tea Taro flavor to be exact. Before bubble tea gained in popularity I ordered it whenever I came across it, now that it can be found more readily I order it whenever I can. I was excited for this place since it's a couple blocks from my work, but this was terrible and I ended up throwing the rest away. I ordered a blended Taro bubble tea. I don't know how it's possible but my drink was warm barely any "slush" and bottom 2/3 warm, the slush melted almost instantly. The flavor was nonexistent I couldn't taste any Taro the only flavor was a slight sweet taste from the boba. The only point in their favor was that the boba was cooked correctly. Sad I wanted it to be good instead I wasted $5.

    Salem officially has a boba shop! Cool! I'm not super experienced in this Asian inspired drink, but I've had it enough to know what is good boba and what is not. This place is pretty good! I brought friends, and they agreed. I ordered two different milk teas: Jasmine and Taro, with boba as my "topping." You can do a split cup, and definitely wanted to take advantage of that awesomeness! There are so many fun and different options. The atmosphere is pretty good- I'd recommend a little more lighting, but the bright pink walls do make the place feel lively. Try this place out. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors!

    Got a milk tea w/boba and it tasted more like an expired protein shake. Place itself is cute but drinks are pretty whack.

The donuts are self-serve with trays and tongs. They had a wide variety available. I selected a original glazed, a pretty in pink (strawberry glazed), a chocolate and a pandan. I also ordered two K-dogs (Korean-style elevated corn dogs), and a classic pearl milk tea with the standard brown sugar boba. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. My drink was a pretty standard boba drink. Good, but nothing special. The drinks are very customizable, with ice amount and sweetness level just two of the options. The K-dogs were really tasty. I got an Potato Dog (which is a corn dog covered with crispy potato cubes and served with a fry sauce). The other dog I chose was the Gochujang Dog: their standard corn dog with Gochujang sauce. You have the option of having your K-Dog stuffed with mozzarella, a hotdog, or half hotdog and half mozzarella. I did half dog, half mozzarella on both. The cheese made the K-Dogs like huge fried mozzarella sticks. I enjoyed both, they were huge, and I ended up splitting them with a friend. I had both sauces on the side as my order was to go, and both complimented the rich cheese/dogs nicely. The fry sauce was rich and tangy, and the Gochujang a little spicy and a little sweet. The donuts were good too. This was my first time trying mochi donuts. The mochi flour gives the donuts a firmer and denser texture than your standard donut. I love other mochi desserts, but here I missed the lightness and melt-in-your-mouth quality of regular donuts. That is more of a personal preference, but something to be aware of, especially if you are sensitive to textures in food. It seemed like most of the individual flavors of each donut came more from the toppings rather than the donut itself. That isn't unusual with donuts of any kind. The service was awesome, and I was intrigued most by the K-Dogs. I will be back when I am in the mood for an different kind of treat.

    Really surprised to see mochi donut here. Actually better some of the mochi donuts I had in LA or…read moreChicago Lots of choices and pretty elevated flavor Not a huge fan of the Dubai chocolate one. More just a stunt with the gold leaf and Dubai chocolate is not that much better than the other flavors. Not to mention it's twice to three times the price of the other flavors Favorite so far is the espresso Boba is ok. Not the same level as the ones in big cities but good enough in the small town

I ordered the Thai basil, Thai green tea, vegetable wrap, and papaya salad, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Thai basil was fresh and fragrant, the papaya salad was crunchy with a really bright, bold flavor, and the Thai green tea was perfect. The vegetable wrap was hearty and loaded with veggies -- I probably should have added tofu or shrimp, but that one's on me for not clicking the button I ordered medium spice on both dishes and wow... they do not Americanize their spice level. It's legit Thai heat, so if you're sensitive, take note -- but if you love real flavor, you'll be very happy. I scheduled my order through Uber Eats and went in to pick it up, and I was greeted right away by a super friendly young woman, which made the whole experience even better.
