I've been here several times. My mom used to eat all kinds of Lao and Thai food at her work place,…read moreso she kind of knows what to expect in terms of flavor. And this place does not disappointment. Love their pork Larb and their Lao papaya salad. The flavors are great, the spice level is just right, and the presentation is beautiful. This is definitely our favorite Thai place in all of Salem!

We tried Mina's Cafe, and overall it was good. I really liked that you can add avocado to the fresh…read morespring rolls--that was a nice touch. The pot stickers and shrimp in a blanket were good, but they tasted pretty much the same as what you'd find at most other places. I ordered the Thai basil entrée, and honestly, it wasn't anything special. It also seemed to have fewer vegetables than what was shown in the photos, which was a little disappointing. It came with rice automatically even though I didn't request it. It also didn't have a broccoli or green beans like the photo showed. It also had cashews in it which makes me just now realize they probably gave me the wrong entree... My husband ordered the fried chicken with fried rice, and that was the standout dish. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and paired really well with the fried rice. We'd definitely order that again! It was pretty small inside, about 8 tables but it was clean. Only one server and she was nice!

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.

However by the time I came back to try another tea and a poke bowl , they were gone. I drove by multiple times to see if they were open or at least back in that location but they're completely gone now. I reached out to them on Instagram and they informed me that the Riverview location wasn't getting enough business and unfortunately had to close :( in hindsight, their lack of business was probably a result of the constantly inconsistent hours that other reviewers have mentioned. Again it's all a shame. I don't know if there's another boba place in the area that was as good as Bobablastic. TLDR; great food but unfortunately this location is not around anymore.

I expected a thin, light crepe, but the final product was thick and overly sweet for a savory product. The egg appears mass-produced, possibly frozen. It was overall quite bland - I added the provided syrup (Smuckers) just to add flavor and moisture. The cheese bleeding out was due to microwaving after the crepe got cold (my fault, not theirs), so I want to be honest in my presentation, but this "crepe" was really not worth the price.

After ordering, I forgot to mention the option for the extra boost and asked before she made the drink, but because I wasn't asked at the register for her to put it in the system she was unable to occomodate and again was short with me. By the time my smoothie came out I felt like I was driven out the door. And honestly the smoothie didn't taste like it was made right either. Incredibly upsetting experience.
