There were so many interesting drinks to choose from, but luckily the workers were friendly and super helpful in guiding me. The commitment to the nautical theme is adorable, and all the clever drink names made the menu fun to read. I also love how many books and games they have available, it feels like a cozy little hangout spot you could easily lose track of time in. I got the Leviathan, which is nitro coffee, taro, oat milk, simple syrup, and boba. I'm picky with boba, and let me just say... I was actually impressed. The texture and flavor were on point. There were so many other drinks I wanted to try, so I'll definitely be back.

The boba was bouncy and chewy without mush. Well done. Would recommend

I was so happy to see a new boba shop debut in the West End! I stopped in just a week after their…read moreopening. The interior is spacious, with a couch and table for seating and a surprising number of action figures in the decor (good for kids, perhaps?). My main struggle was deciding what to order from the menu -- I wanted to try everything on it. This place is serious about their tea: they have jasmine green, roasted oolong, lotus winter melon, even wuyi mountain black tea (!). They also have cheese foam toppings (if you know, you know), fruit teas, various milks... it's a wonderland for true boba enthusiasts. I ended up opting for a large osmanthus milk tea. The tea was phenomenal: well brewed and not too sweet, which is always a hard balance to achieve. The boba could have been a bit softer/chewier, but it was still overall a delicious drink. The service was quick, and they also have several snacks (including egg tarts!) that you can purchase. I can't wait to be back soon to try more of their teas and some of their food offerings as well.

There aren't a lot of places around here to get fruity bursting boba, so my kids were extremely…read moreexcited to try it out. We were hungry so we planned to get some of the meals and add on the bobas as our drink. Unfortunately, you can only get soda or a specific list of other drinks (for an additional charge) when you get a meal deal. The speciality bobas are separate purchases. When you walk in and see all the different menus and choices, it can be a bit overwhelming. I highly recommend taking a peek at the online information ahead of time. My kids enjoyed the oreo slushy and fruity flurry. We'd go back to try more of the drinks. I got a tenders meal with mac n cheese. The chicken was mediocre and the mac n cheese was covered with bread crumbs straight outta the can. I'd prefer not to have any of those on there had I been given a choice. Without the crumbs actually being baked into the dish, they really didn't add anything besides a strange texture with every bite. My daughter got a chicken sandwich with curly fries. Not bad, but nothing we are craving to go back to again. If we return, we will likely just stick with the drinks.

The whole bowl feels like a reheat of a leftover. It came very fast after we ordered it, the broth is thin and lack of flavor. The noodle is overcooked, and meat was the worst part. It's reheated meat from who knows when did they cook it, and hard to chew without much flavor. The Costco instant Tonkatsu ramen tastes much better than theirs.
