    PM - Mango Popper/Peach Jelly & Cali Girl - Strawberry Popper
    Cammi P.

    By far the absolute BEST boba and bubble tea! The drinks always customizable, so never forget your jelly, boba and fruit poppers. The blended drinks are thirst quenching and delicious, and the creamy and coffee drinks are great, too. While a little pricey, the "fat cup" is always worth the price and upgrade. The people working are always patient and helpful and the store is always clean. If I could get one drink every day, this would be it!

    This is such a cute spot. They have a wide variety of drinks, a lot of combinations that I've never heard of and different toppings and things that I don't believe I've ever seen before. For example, I've never gone anywhere where they have yogurt poppers. Essentially they taste like Japanese yogurt, but in a popping Boba sort of consistency. They are slightly sweet and inside the chart. One of the drinks that I ordered was called the Papa guava. It is a combination of strawberry guava, organic green tea, strawberry jelly and yogurt poppers. My little one ended up getting what is called the cloud nine. It has organic honey Boba on top, but the flavor consist of coconut, peach, vanilla, bean, guava, and organic white tea. That sounds amazing if you ask me. My husband had a mocha Chino, which is French coffee with Kona, mocha creamer, organic, honey, Boba and coffee jelly. They have so many different drink choices. Some of them are blended. Some of them are blended and creamy. Some of them are creamy drinks over ice others are sparkling drinks and 0 cal drinks even. They do offer hot drinks, maybe about eight of them you can pick your tea the level of sweetness, the different kinds of sweetener or creamer. One of the other drinks that looked really interesting was the strawberry Horchata or the Thai tea float. I was interested initially in the Cali girl 2.0, but that appears to be a very involved drink, one that I don't think I'm quite ready for. It has ice cream on top and of other things. It looks extremely duck in. But anyway, three drinks was about $20. Not bad. I love the bumblebee motif and themed that they have throughout the store. They even have a cute wall where you can take a picture. The wall says sweet as honey. I definitely recommend this place.

    One of my coworkers at the Cava across the street (come visit us) ordered me a drink called a Vanillaccino and it was amazing! I am not usually boba fan nor do I get boba x coffee, but I actually really enjoyed it. Went in for a second drink during a double shift and spoke to Audrey, who was kind and welcoming :). Ambiance was nice too, well lit and well decorated. This will probably be my go to "coffee" place from now on .

    Always a fun, refreshing treat!! Great flavors to choose from and really hits the spot on a hot day!!!! Friendly service, but the line and wait can get long!! Definitely worth it though!! Best boba around!!!

    Papa Guava - Yogurt Popper/Strawberry Jelly

    Cute little boba shop! They've got a great location in the Scottsdale Quarter. Their menu is extensive. They have so many options and you can customize practically anything on their menu. I went with the Papa Guava and it was really refreshing. I wasn't a huge fan of the popping boba, wish I would've swapped that out. They constantly had people coming in and leaving but the staff were all quick and friendly. Nice little treat to grab during a hot Monday in Arizona!

    Bubble Bee is a purely boba ice tea place that has a long list of blended/over ice type of drinks. There's two sizes and it's only a 40 cent increase to get the bigger size. Unlike other places, each of the drinks comes with its own specific boba set and I imagine you'd have to pay extra to change it or add to it since they got a list of all their boba offerings. Their large fat cups go for $7-7.40. I tried a few drinks and I can say that the taste and the quality of the boba is average. There isn't much flavor to their drinks. Note that there's just 16 indoor seats so if it gets busy, you'll just have to order to-go.

    There was a hair in my boba cup!! ew! they are sealed after being made so only could have come from a worker.

    Amazing location! We had such a good time we came in right after they open and it was perfect all the way around! They have every flavor you can think of and you can mix and match everything with your flavors. Definitely recommend you try it out yourself. We also had a wonderful customer service. I really appreciate that.

    Came by to try out their drinks and they did not disappoint. Absolutely love the ambiance of the store and how clean everything was. Shoutout to our barista Hilary for making our experience fantastic! So many different options are offered and absolutely loved every one of them! Highly recommend! Will return!

    King Taro Blended
    Sascha J.

    I've been going to Bubble Bee (scottsdale location) since it first opened and I ADORE this place!!! Coming from CA boba has been a part of my life from a super young age and Bubble Bee is everything I love in a boba drink plus some. They have a wide variety of specialty flavors and blends and the best part is most everything is ORGANIC! Hell yeah! The King and Queen Taros are my absolute favorites. Super creamy and I also love that their drinks don't have that air freshener type artificial taste cause ewww. One thing I will say is i've noticed in the summertime when its an ungodly temperature they always have the doors open and I asked one time only to be told there's no A/C which is criminal considering their employees have to work in that condition as well as customers coming in when its like 90 inside and everyone is already on the verge of heat induced rage. There were also a few times where my drinks were super watery when I asked for honey and they clearly didnt put any in. These are the only reasons I wouldn't give a 5 star rating but overall Bubble Bee will always be a go-to and I'll continue to get others addicted to their delicious healthier boba drinks

    South Beach Creamy

    So far I've had the SouthBeach and Love Story thanks to Sophia. Small clean place to escape the heat. Great variety of flavors with creative names. Nice size and value compared to the ice cream shops in the quarter. Staff is always upbeat and engaged when I go there. Sophia is great. She's always efficient, patient, and knowledgeable. Cool little spot surrounded by other small shops.

    Cute little boba shop with a variety of drinks.! Very clean and nice vibe as well. Definitely a lot of drinks too choose from! This time around we tried three drinks in total including the Charming, Big Bang and the Spring Break. Sweet but also very tasty drinks and the popping boba was nice to have inside the drinks as well. Our server Hillary and she was nice! Would definitely come back during the summer when walking around since the drinks are nice and big! They don't find in your standard cup holder but I wouldn't mark this place down for that. 5 stars!

    The worker was kind, quick, and the tea was SO GOOD! I got the sweetheart! If you like strawberry this drink is amazing. Only thing was that she answered the phone while taking my order so that was a bit weird. I get it though, I think they were short staffed. Anyway. Loved this boba and will be going again next time I hit the mall.

I sat there for several minutes and when she came back, she asked if I was ready to order. I asked for a menu and then she tapped this little sign on the table that had a QR code on it. I guess they want you to use your phone to look up the menu but then she brought me a printed menu and a glass of water. I had about a minute to look at the menu before the waitress came back and asked what I wanted. I ordered the small portion of the chicken karaage appetizer and the Nishikawa Black Ramen. Both items came out at about the same time. The chicken was good and there was a lot which somewhat surprised me because I thought they had given me a large portion by mistake. The only downside was that the plate was really small so the chicken kept tumbling onto the table. The ramen was just ok. It came in a really big bowl and there was a lot of broth and toppings but relatively little noodles in comparison. It was more like a bowl of soup. The slice of pork was huge but a little bit chewy when I was expecting it to be tender. The egg wasn't sliced so it was difficult to pick up the entire piece with my chopsticks. The chicken was $7 and the ramen was $18. I would have been ok just getting the chicken, perhaps a large portion for $12. I wouldn't get this particular ramen again. With tax and a tip my total was a little over $31 which isn't the most I've spent at a ramen restaurant, but it wasn't cheap either. I wasn't offered a refill on my drink until after I had paid and was ready to leave. In fact, I only saw the waitress once after my food was brought out, and that was when she brought me the bill. The rest of the time she was somewhere in the kitchen.

I ordered the Pork Miso, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, flavorful, and really comforting. The service was quick and friendly, and even though I dined inside, everything came out fast and the staff was great the entire time. My husband got the Tonkatsu which was equally delicious. I got mild and he got medium and as someone who can't handle much spice, I probably could have leveled up to the medium spice level. The dine-in experience was solid, but based on how well everything was prepared, I can imagine their takeout would be just as good. If you're craving ramen in Phoenix, this spot is an easy recommendation.

Good amount of fish vs rice. Everyone is very attentive. Service is very good. The ambiance is interesting :) nothing fancy but not too bland either. There are full moon/moon related decorations.

I like the interior decor of Shio with cute cartoon cats slurping noodles and interesting looking wood panels on the ceilings and walls. On Friday around 1:45pm it wasn't busy at all.

We opted to try 2 different types of ramen so we could share-- Tonkatsu and Spicy Miso. Both solid flavors and my main gripe is that for some reason my tonkatsu bowl used a different type of ramen noodle that was thinner and less chewy than the Spicy Miso. I liked those noodles better. The pork that comes with the ramen is delicious! Rainbow roll was good and I probably didn't need to order the tootsie roll, as it was essentially a rainbow roll minus the fish on top.

The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good.

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!
