    Jasmine milk tea (iced)
    Ariel C.

    We saw this new boba place opened up so we came on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy with most seats taken already. The space isn't too big, but there's a good amount of seating although a little bit cramped. There are multiple ordering kiosks and prices are pretty reasonable (~$6.50 for a large milk tea with topping). The interior and atmosphere are nice with cute deco and slightly dimmed lighting. We ordered an iced jasmine milk tea with brown sugar boba, less sweet. The tea flavor was pretty good and it definitely was on the less sweet side. Everything was pretty good overall, except that the boba texture and taste were not great- very mushy and not much flavor.

    Legitimately my favorite tea spot around. The owner and the staff work so hard and serve awesome drinks. Expertly brewed tea. Their food is great too. Probably the best egg tart in Ohio. I love the coconut latte too. Only a few coconut coffees in the city and this is the best tasting and also the cheapest. Sitting in here, there a smell that is hauntingly good. A floral smell and the girls working there seem to have a cool taste in music. The owner(Lindsay, if I remember correctly) and the girl with the lip rings who is always there but I've never caught her name are great. I feel lucky to have this place around.

    New boba shop opened at Uni Circle! The first week had 2.99 large tea lattes for customers to try their signature milk teas. Ordering is done at three kiosks (one outside, two inside), but it did not seem like one could order at the counter. Tried both the large camellia oolong as well as Rose Pu-er milk teas. The sweetness level is perfect; slightly less sweet than other boba shops in the area, but both were quite watered down with very little tea taste. Also sampled their green tea latte, which had a much stronger flavor, would recommend that one over the other two. There is wifi, outlets, and plenty of seating for studying, but no AC, which makes it a little stuffy.

As we were driving through Cleveland, we decided to stop and get a drink. Oolong Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.60) - The tea was way oversteeped, resulting in a very roasted, almost burnt taste. I asked for half sweet, but the sweetness level came out at around quarter sweet if compared to other boba shops. The boba was not good - I could tell it was honey soaked, but it was not cooked nearly enough. Quite hard and not a great texture. What happened to this Kung Fu Tea location? It used to be so good and now it's very mediocre. Then again, this might be a company-wide issue with Kung Fu Tea. Since the pandemic, I've been to multiple locations and I have not been impressed with any of them. I definitely do not recommend this place. I might have to swear off trying other KFT locations too given that it seems like their tea and boba is consistently disappointing.

This location in particular makes solid bubble tea, though my biggest gripe is that the wait time is always very long. Even when I order ahead, I feel like I end up waiting there for 15+ minutes just to get bubble tea. My go to bubble teas here are the winter melon milk tea, the oolong milk tea, as well as a variety of the fruit teas.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Tuesday afternoon and were able to find street parking easily. The decor of the shop is cute, and ordering at the kiosk was simple; they have a pretty extensive menu so, whatever type of drink you're looking for, they probably have it! We got the coconut matcha and a mango matcha milk, both of which came out pretty quickly. I was unfortunately a little disappointed with the color of the matcha when our drinks came out; it was a very pale green, and didn't taste like they used high quality matcha powder to make our drinks. My boyfriend was also disappointed by the coconut matcha, which didn't taste as good as he expected. I thought my mango matcha, on the other hand, was delicious! The mango flavor was strong and sweet, but not overly so, and I enjoyed my drink! Overall, we'd definitely come back, but probably try different drinks since it seems like this shop doesn't specialize in matcha.

    Before I go on with this review, I just want to point out that Kung Fu Tea has a separate business…read morelisting so please review those guys there. I see a handful of Kung Fu Tea reviews on here which doesn't belong. Anyways, been here several times already and can honestly say that the food and service is consistent every time! Appetizers I have tried are Onion Soup and Gyoza. Side orders I have tried are Shrimp Tempura and Brown Rice. Sushi that I have tried are Little Delicious Roll, Spider Roll, Ohio Roll, and Kenko Roll. The Teriyaki I have gotten the 3 item option of Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef. The Onion Soup($1.95) is basically Miso Soup with crispy fried onions which is what exactly it tastes like. Pretty good if you like onions. The Gyoza($4.95) on the menu it says it's a shrimp pot sticker but on my receipt is says chicken. Whatever it is, it's just your basic steamed pot sticker that is pan fried on one side. Tastes good especially when you dip it in the gyoza sauce that comes with it. The Shrimp Tempura($2) was a bit disappointing. The one I got was definitely not fresh for it wasn't even lukewarm. At least it was a little bit crispy but the fact that it was obviously not freshly cooked was a major turn off and will probably not order again. The Brown Rice($1.50) is a good alternative to white rice. Same flavor but healthier for you. The Little Delicious Roll($13.95), Spicy Tuna, Imitation Crab, Cream Cheese, Avocado, and Cucumber. Lightly fried and then topped with Spicy Mayo and Eel Sauce. There's nothing little about this roll. Tastes best as soon as it is served to you. Had some leftovers for breakfast, was good but did not taste as good when it was freshly made. The Spider Roll($11.95), Soft Shell Crab, Radish Sprout, Avocado, and Cucumber. Topped with Wasabi Mayo and Eel Sauce. This roll was just ok. I have had better Spider Rolls elsewhere. The Ohio Roll($10.95), Shrimp, Imitation Crab, Avocado, Cucumber, and Asparagus. Topped with Wasabi Mayo. What made this roll stand out is the asparagus. It was decent. The Kenko Roll($12.95) Shrimp Tempura, Imitation Crab, Cucumber, Avocado, and Cream Cheese. Wrapped in Soy Paper with Miso Glaze. This roll has good flavor and is just as good served after refrigeration. The common theme for all these rolls is that they contain most of the same ingredients except for 1 or 2 items. My favorites are the Kenko and Litlle Sushi Roll. The Teriyaki Bowl($13.95 for 3 items) this is the price for 3 items on their menu but on my receipt it says $15.95 plus $2 each for Shrimp and Beef which doesn't make any sense. Of course I opted for all 3 meats. Comes with veggies and white or brown rice. I opted for no rice, just all veggies. I added sauteed mushrooms one time for an extra $1.50. This bowl is just big enough to satisfy your appetite. The teriyaki sauce they throw on top gives it the good flavor you expect. Service wise, when you come in, if you are wanting sushi, you order on the left side of the counter and everything else you want to order, including Kung Fu Drinks, are towards the right. Make sure you mention your sushi order when ordering other things. You pay and then they call out your name when your order is ready. Overall, I have been coming here 1 to 2 times a week as part of my dinner rotation since I am working a contract over at the the University Hospital just a block away. Will definitely miss this place once my contract is up. Yelp 2022 Review #41 892 overall

    I had heard of Ice or Rice via social media before but my first visit wasn't until March 2026 when…read moreI was in the area anyway. Ice or Rice is located in Cleveland's Asiatown, surrounded by many other Asian restaurants, and has a non-descript exterior and a basic AF interior. There is also only street parking so be aware of that. I was the only customer at 1pm on a Sunday. It only took about 8 minutes for my order to be ready and packaged to go. I was going to order a poke bowl but decided against it when I saw how few ingredients there were. No edamame? Heresy! So at the last minute, I changed my plans and ordered the Thai Dog ($7) and a Spam Musubi ($4.50) and took them home with me to eat for lunch/dinner. The Thai Dog was a generously sized hot dog on a white bun with some pickled vegetables, smothered in 3 different sauces (although I did ask for light sauce). I thought it was delicious, if about $2 overpriced. I ate the Spam Musubi piece for dinner and although also very yummy (I forgot how much I enjoy the smokiness of spam!), this was definitely overpriced at $4.50. I have seen spam musubi usually cost about $3. I won't harp on too much about the price though. Haha! There are lots of other restaurants in the area but Ice or Rice is centrally located and is great for grab and go meals. I LOVE all the Hawaiian dishes on there as well! I think I would come back to try another unique item if I am in the area in the future.

We started with an order of edamame, then I got a shrimp tempura poke bowl - crispy shrimp over a generous bowl of lettuce, seaweed salad and fluffy rice. The shrimp was a little greasy (microwaved and reheated?) but it did the job. And afterwards, I got the strawberry shaved ice - a heaping bowl of ice topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sliced strawberries, drizzled with strawberry sauce and condensed milk. Overall, a filling meal. If you're a fan of either rice or ice, this place is for you!
