This is an experience I would recommend! My wife and I had never been to any kind of fancy tea…read moreplace but we saw that Portland had a couple of them and some would do the High Tea experience, which includes trying various tea and having a light lunch. My wife had just had her birthday and wanted to see the High Tea experience firsthand. And even better, they had tasting rooms in Beaverton and Hillsboro so we could stay local. We chose the Hillsboro location in the nice block of downtown they have. You have to make a reservation so we did. It wasn't a huge room but all tables were full on an early Saturday afternoon. They sat you at a table with mugs and fine china for a little tea party. The menu was laid out ahead of time and then you could pick the teas to have. I enjoyed them- I am not an expert but I tried a couple and liked the variety. They gave us instructions on when to drink and even a timer for when we should pour. Then the food came out- first a small bowl of broccoli cheddar soup, which was good, then the pastry and sandwich tray. I did get a picture of that. The High Tea experience is listed as "a light meal of scones, pastries, assorted treats, and finger sandwiches." That is what we got. The scones were good and about what you would expect from a nice local bakery. There were some small hors d'oeuvres like a mini quiche with bacon and cheese and then a small pastry with tomato and olive, very tasty. The finger sandwiches for that day were cucumber and cream (a British staple I am told), red pepper and hummus, and then turkey lunchmeat with goat cheese and a cranberry spread- that was my favorite. They also gave a couple treats for the last part, a macaroon and a cupcake, and then a shot glass filled with whipped cream and a strawberry jello/jam type thing. All very good, and not too much to be overwhelming. Overall, it was a delightful experience. We were happy to give it a try. The only drawback I have is that it cost about $65 per person, which I felt a little steep considering what we got. Again all the food was very good and it is meant to be a light lunch, but the portions were all so small that I don't quite feel like it added up... I could just go to a local bakery and get a variety of things with more substance, for less money. We did get to try several teas so that is part of the experience.

I made a reservation for May 10, paying in advance. On the 9th, I was informed that the location…read morefor this tea was changed from Lake Oswego to Hillsboro. I was informed that I could cancel the reservation, with refund, if the change of location was inconvenient. It was, as I was treating my mother (who is 90!) and Hillsboro was too distant and too long of a day for her. I have been reaching out for the past 3 months, attempting to receive a refund, with no result. I contacted the Better Business Bureau for assistance, and they too received no response to their inquiries on my behalf. I feel it is important to share my experience, in case there are others who can benefit from it.

Nice addition for a more specialized tea forward store…read more They specialize in their flavored jellies. It's my first time here and decided to try their one of their house drinks. I got the house blend milk tea with sesame jelly with 100% sweetness and 30% ice. I would say the 100% sweetness tastes more like 70% at your typical boba place. I got their original egg puff which came with 3 pieces. It was good. They have lots of different teas available. I would come again to try other drinks.

This is the second location of Hechalou I've visited. It has the same aesthetics but it's quite…read moredifferent in terms of menu and drink construction from the location north of Seattle that I visited regularly. There are two kiosks for easy ordering. We walked in just a couple of minutes after they opened on a Monday and were the first customers inside. House Blend Pearl Milk Tea, 10% Sweet, 30% Ice w/ Boba ($6.25) - I'll start by saying that 10% is not nearly enough for this drink, totally unlike the Lynnwood location where anything over 10% sweet is cloyingly sweet for me. I ended up asking for a small cup of syrup on the side and titrated the drink until I thought it was sweet enough. My guess is that it took until around 50% sweet. With that out of the way, the flavor is identical to what I've had before. Rich malty taste with plenty of body. It's a very solid milk tea. This hechalou only has sugar syrup soaked boba, not a choice of honey or brown sugar boba as in Lynnwood. My guess is this is one of the reasons why the sweetness level is so different. Probably honey and/or brown sugar soak adds more sweetness to the drink than whatever soak they use here. The boba is a little firmer than Lynnwood and isn't as flavorful. Still miles ahead of most boba shops in the US though. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, 10% Sweet, 30% Ice w/ Boba ($7.05) - Again, this one isn't sweet enough and I had to add more sugar. The drink itself is strongly flowery, again very consistent with the other location. It's a very solid drink. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 This location of Hechalou still serves some top tier drinks. I'll just have to remember the next time I visited to get 50% sweet rather than 10%. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

There were pictures of beef rolls (seasoned braised beef in a chewy pancake) & I got really excited. We drove quite a bit out there to check it out. They are still labelled as Original Joe's, but had an additional Chinese sign that means "Beef Noodle King." Their menu was a lot shorter than I was expecting and there were no beef rolls in sight. Sad face. We ordered potstickers, beef noodle soup, and the pork rice bowl. They were out of the pork and offered to make wontons in spicy chili oil with soup on the side instead. We agreed. The food was actually pretty good. The beef noodle soup had chewy noodles and really tender fall apart beef. The chili oil wontons were also good. Handmade wontons were swimming in a flavorful sauce! The owner was super sweet and made everything in front of us at the counter. There were a few people in the video poker room that commented on the delicious smells. There were also bubble teas and shaved ice available. I'd definitely go back if I were in the area to get my Taiwanese food fix!
