    Cali Girl - Strawberry Popper
    Ava L.

    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

    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.

    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
    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

    Chris N.

    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!

    An update from 7 months ago--…read more I've been to this Mensho location a few times now, it's actually very close to my house, I could walk there. Maybe when it's not summer I will :) I had previously mentioned I've been to Mensho Ramen in Japan twice and this location seems to be very close to quality and flavors. I've tried different appetizers on each visit here and I always get the Garlic Knock Out ramen bowl because I love garlic, but next time I need to branch out and try the duck matcha bowl, a friend of mine swears by it. It sounds like an odd flavor combo, but I hear it just works. Coming here is pricey, so this isn't my everyday ramen shop, but once in a while I enjoy it. Other reviewers mention not liking the noodle texture, the soup broth thickness, or overall flavors. Some have even questioned its Japanese authenticity. That's most funny to me, given it's very close to the ramen I had at Mensho in actual Japan. So I don't think it's Mensho who is unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine... I don't love all the apps I've had, for instance I would skip the Takoyaki or corn ribs, or $8 edamame. Next time I'd like to try the Aji fry, many people have said that's good. So, it's likely coming down to personal preference. Service has been solid so far. Servers are friendly and food comes out fairly quickly. Anyhoo, I'd still recommend this spot, and bring friends or family. We recently brought a friend who is vegan and she was happy to see vegan based broths and items on the menu. I think the price point makes it hard for some people to enjoy this place, as it costs about double compared to other bowls of ramen in the valley. But I appreciate that they make their noodles in house and the dining space is very authentic to a ramen shop in Japan (small and nice wood decor). It does remind me of being in Tokyo, which I miss dearly. Mensho here is more expensive than Tokyo. Food in the US costs way more in general. I think most folks would be surprised to learn that. But it's true, Japan has the most amazing food scene and they execute everything perfectly yet it's cheaper in many instances. I was blown away by how affordable food was in Japan. IMO that says more about the state of affairs in the US, and less about this specific restaurant. Some reviews have noted poor quality and management, I haven't noticed that yet, and I hope it doesn't happen. So far, I've liked it enough to keep going back every now and again :)

Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26

We popped into the restaurant and didn't have a reservation. There were a few tables that were full, but it was definitely more empty at that time than packed. The hostess was not necessarily the nicest person and more focused on her phone. She greeted us, but went back to texting. We stood there for a minute and the restaurant phone rang, which she answered. After standing there for 5-7 minutes, she came back and seated us. As we approached the table, we noticed that it still had plates and bowls leftover from the previous customer. The busser quickly removed them and wiped the table down for us to take a seat. The server came over relatively quickly and was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Since it was two of us, we wanted to try a range of things but our main focus was ramen. We decided to order some edamame to start, which was okay. It wasn't super fresh, but overall it was decent. For our main course, we ordered the kaizen and the hafu sushi. We ordered the Obon ramen to split. Not long after ordering our food came out. The server was really attentive and placed our ramen in two separate bowls for us. As far as flavor goes, the Obon was extremely spicy. I'm a spicy girlie and I couldn't even eat it. I ate the noodles, but the broth was too much for me. I passed it on to my husband and to my surprise, he actually ate it (he doesn't like spice). I think his sore throat trumped the spice. The kaizen roll was really good. We actually loved that. The hafu, not so much. The cilantro flavor was a little too heavy on the roll itself. We would definitely give this place another try if ever in the area, but maybe order something different.

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 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!
