My only annoyance is that in the strawberry matcha with coconut milk, they couldn't adjust the sweetness with the alternative milks, only the regular milks. I thought that odd and nonetheless the drink was pretty sweet even though I enjoyed it overall. Maybe I would try the other drinks to see how the other flavors are adjusted for sweetness as well.

Oh, this bubble tea was so good! Ended a SONO shopping trip with a bubble tea from the Black Pearl…read more Located on the 2nd, conveniently on our way out of the mall. It's near the H&M store. For a busy Saturday, they had a lot of friendly staff turning out drinks quickly. They seemed to always have a line, but it moved fairly quickly. There were a few small, lounging chairs with tables near by, but for most people sip and enjoy their while walking through the mall. I couldn't pass up the Purple Mountain drink, a taro and ube mix with brown sugar tapioca pearls, topped with a cream cheese milk cap. The tapioca pearls were perfectly al dente, lovely brown sugar flavor, and not overly sweet. The drink was on the thicker side and I liked that the taro and ube flavor wasn't artificially tasting. They had two sizes: Queen and King--so fun! I went with the Queen (smallest size). Black Pearl Bubba Tea has a lot of your classic and unique bubble tea combos. From coffee, matcha, to fruit combinations, whether you are new to bubble tea or a pro, there was something for everyone. It wasn't overly complicated either.There was a sign that stated if you didn't like what you ordered, they would make something else. I also liked that their menu had pictures of what the drink would look like because who doesn't want the prettiest drink? It was also nice that they had dairy-free and caffeine creations. My Purple Mountain drink was caffeine free. This was one of the best mall bubble tea places I've had in a long time. I will definitely be stopping back by when I visit the SONO mall again.

I recommend the brown sugar tea because of the sugar they use, not sure what it is but it makes it better than any other place around Westport.

I ordered two miso ramen with a load of add-ons to go following the epic snowstorm... it was positively delicious. Broth was balanced, savory and had the perfect aspect of heat... pork belly was cooked to perfection and I love how they prepare the perfect tamago (egg). A special treat is the saki flight-- Hayro is very well versed in his tasting note knowledge and origins of the featured sakis and was ultra kind, consistent with his execution of dynamic cocktails behind the bar. Love the ambiance, music is always on point and the bar set-up is ultra inviting... I prefer that over sitting in a booth. Rafael, the manager, was ultra attentive and very gracious towards me as a waiting patron... he even surprised me with a little KFC Bao which was absolutely magical with the sauces provided! Professionalism 10.0 and so endearing! I would recommend double checking your to go orders, especially if the order is a bit complex or heavy on the add-on factor (my cabbage was left out but I believe it was substituted for a larger order of greens)... but Betsy was polite and patient amidst me being a picky foodie in my ordering process! I can't thank this team enough for consistently delicious food and noteworthy customer service... it is ultra popular for a reason! *Posted while currently waiting on yet another to go order-- thank you, Mecha!*

I threw an order in for delivery through Uber Eats while I jumped in the shower. Took 30 minutes to arrive, the food was piping hot and presented beautifully, despite the foil and plastic containers. Overall delicious. The Saigon egg rolls are served with a Vietnamese dipping sauce fresh mint and lettuce wraps, and they were light and crispy and all the flavors together incredible. The KFC bao bun was a little on the dry side, but had a satisfying gochujang glaze with crunchy pickled veggies nestled in a soft pillowy bun. Kimchi fried rice was bursting with flavors and the creamy yolk from the fried egg added a velvety richness. There was a nice presence of bacon, fried shallots and scallion. Overall perfect. Excited to try the Ramen and Pho sometime!

I ordered one of the special Ramen dishes and it crushed it. Excellent work! Just the right amount of spice - I think it was called volcano - but it wasn't overly spicy, it was perfect. Noodles were good, pork was good, the broth was excellent. The people working there were very nice. I enjoyed the food so much that I actually ended up ordering a noodle dish and some dumplings to go. And I added a mochi for dessert. So if you're out and about and hungry and could really use a warming bowl of Ramen, Good Hope is a good choice.

I wouldn't recommend the Yaki Onigiri, despite reading positive reviews for it. The fried rice was way too heavy and didn't taste good. The greasiness was competing with the strong taste of the salmon. Some servers knew their job well, and greeted us at the door. A newer server wasn't as knowledgeable on gluten free options there and also didn't take away our used appetizer plates before serving us the mains.

Normally, the lemon is on the side along with the nuts just scattered across the top. As soon as I tasted it, I realized that they had squeezed the lemon into the dish and I also realized why. They were trying to offset the abysmally sweet taste. Pad Thai usually is a little bit sweet, but this tasted like they had poured honey into it. It was clear that they hadn't added any broth to the dish. In addition, the noodles clumped together because they used the wrong noodle. Pad Thai noodles are typically a flat rice noodle. These were thin noodles, like spaghetti. Overall, the dish was an unmitigated disaster and I won't be returning here

The popping boba is just so fun! Both teas were very fruity, but not overly sweet so they were still refreshing. The food was the after thought but again amazing! We got the spicy tuna bowl because it was a popular dish on Yelp which makes sense. It wasn't too spicy, the fried onion bits were a good addition, seasoned well, and cooked perfectly. We also got pan fried pork dumplings that were fantastic and the wonton soup. This was my first time having wonton soup and cannot stop thinking about it. The broth was flavorful but not too salty. There were three wontons in the soup. We got takeout so I can't speak to the service. However, we did order the honeydew tea with boba and it came without. It wasn't a huge deal and everything else blew us away that it's still a five star place!
