    Love me some boba -- or should I say popping pearls? Such a refreshing beverage in this ungodly AZ heat.

    Cali Girl - Strawberry Popper

    Fun drinks and clean organic ingredients, known for their organic raw honey! I got then Cali girl drink and it was refreshing with a kick of caffeine! A good selection of seating inside when you want to escape the AZ heat

    Sweetheart
    Elsie M.

    I was grabbing lunch with some friends in the area recently and we decided to stop by and grab a drink afterwards. After looking over the menu, we ordered a Sweetheart, Pomegranate Paradise, and a Taro Queen. We each tried a sip of each other's drinks and safe to say my favorite was the Sweetheart. It was surprisingly not too sweet for my tastebuds, and it wasn't overly creamy to the point where I felt unwell afterwards, as I sometimes have this problem with some drinks. We went a little bit after two o'clock and there were no other customers, so we were able to take our time in deciding without feeling rushed. The service was patient, fast and friendly. The store isn't that big, so seating options are limited. For a boba shop in this area, I would say it's pretty solid. Their flavors are unconventional to most boba shops so it's a nice change. The only thing is, we didn't see an option to customize the sweetness level to our preferences.

    I have been going here for five years now since I moved to Scottsdale and I always get the exact same thing the original fat cup with Boba.... I feel terrible writing a negative review but this continuously happens when I order my drink... The original is basically oolong tea mixed with creamer. The way bumblebee makes it is that they blend together the problem with that is depending on who makes it , it ends up turning into a cappuccino with tremendous amount of foam . unfortunately ordering a large drink doesn't really give you the amount of tea because a quarter of the drink is foam. see the picture

    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.

    Small "fat cup" Vanillaccino - Organic Honey Boba/Coffee Jelly
    Kate W.

    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 .

    Papa Guava - Yogurt Popper/Strawberry Jelly
    Allyssa P.

    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.

    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

    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

    Obon never disappoints! Sushi and Ramen are both very tasty, the vibe is always the right balance…read morebetween lively & intimate, and service is always spot on.

    I am extremely disappointed with Sushi Oban's handling of a serious food allergy…read more Several weeks ago, while I was at Scottsdale Quarter, I walked into the restaurant specifically to ask whether any of their ramen could be prepared without soy because I have a soy allergy. The hostess told me she would check with the chef. She went to the back, returned, and told me that yes, they could prepare ramen for me with a broth that did not contain soy. Based on that assurance, I ordered the ramen and subsequently ordered it two more times. Each time, I clearly stated that I had a soy allergy, whether ordering online or by phone. At no point was I told there was a problem or that the broth contained soy. Today, I ordered the ramen again and picked it up, only to find a note taped to the order stating that all of their broths contain soy and that they had tried to call me. I called the restaurant because, understandably, I was extremely confused. I explained that I had specifically asked about the soy content from the very beginning, that an employee had checked with the chef, and that I had been assured the broth could be made soy-free. I have now eaten this ramen on multiple occasions believing it was safe for me. That is not a minor mistake. Food allergy information needs to be accurate and consistent. I am fortunate that I did not experience anaphylaxis as a result of the previous meals I was told were soy-free. To make matters worse, I was not refunded for the ramen I purchased today and cannot safely eat. Instead, I was told I would need to wait until Thursday, when the manager is available, to have a conversation about a refund. Today is Tuesday. I cannot recommend Sushi Oban to anyone with a food allergy of any kind. When a customer specifically discloses an allergy and staff consult the kitchen before assuring that customer that a dish is safe, the customer should be able to rely on that information. The inconsistency here is both disappointing and potentially dangerous.

    Yama Sushi was a great place to eat! It's all you can eat, and they have Deluxe and Premium…read moreoptions. I did the Deluxe because it had soooo many options that I honestly didn't need Premium. I was surprised that it included sashimi in that option and was super happy about it. The quality of the fish was great, especially for an AYCE location. Service was great and attentive. The only bummer is they have this A5 Wagyu nigiri that you can only get one per person at the table, and it was sooo good. I really wish they would let us have it a couple more times, but it is what it is! Overall, will definitely be going back.

Nigiri and various rolls were fantastic, served quickly, great presentation, and overall excellent quality. The service was stellar. Our waiter, John, went above and beyond to offer us extra sauces and provided helpful recommendations and "to-go" refills for our soft drinks. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant was clean and nicely appointed. Pricing was surprisingly modest in this exclusive Scottsdale locale, and they also offer an "all you can eat" special for about $39 which is an excellent value given the high food quality. Sorry no pictures this time. 10/10 - no notes. We plan to return again soon.

Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

It was nothing special though it tasted like the typical frozen mushy type wasn't very good. Disappointed on the takoyaki I had just one small piece of octopus inside of it and it was just all batter. Probably some of the worst type I've had. The fried squid legs.

So half of my onions were just stuck to the bottom and I couldn't get them off. The side dishes, though these are some of my favorite side dishes I've had at a Korean spot in Arizona. Super sucks because I would only wanna come back for the kimchi side dishes, but didn't really enjoy the food to an extreme amount to justify driving 30 minutes back and price , some items are a bit pricey, but most of the items are priced at the same as other places I've been but you get way less I really did like their kimchi, though it really was some of the best but man so far and nothing I'd want from that menu entree wise so I think it's worth checking out but I can't justify coming back

    The food was actually very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing because the…read moreservice was absolutely horrible. We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
