    Chicken Cutlet Bento
    Grace L.

    I came here to study and eat lunch. I ordered a Winter Melon Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls and Chicken Cutlet Bento Box. Both orders were very tasty. The bento box was very fragrant. They gave a lot of chicken and the vegetable and egg side dishes were delectable. The chicken cutlet reminded me of my mother's cutlet recipe. I finished the bento box easily. The Winter Melon Milk tea wasn't too sweet. The tapioca pearls have the perfect chewiness. There was a nice ratio between milk tea and pearls. You will have to ask for pearls, which are free, with your drink. The price for the milk tea was more expensive compared to other boba shops, but it was worth it in my opinion. The service was very nice. The front counter workers are kind and they make your drink and food within a reasonable time. The atmosphere is suitable for either hanging out or studying. I was here for a while and was able to get things done without being distracted by the background music. My only critique for this place would be the drawings and writings on the tables and walls, which were initially off-putting but I got used to it. I would come back again. 9/10

    Adorable little cafe spot. Great quiet spot to work from. The service is quick and they are kind and the drinks/snacks are full of flavor and goodness!

    The place was very quaint and the vibe was chill, while entering we noticed the unique drawings and the chicken plushies around the establishment, the ones posted here are many of the unique ones and I thought them to be incredible. The place allows you to write on the tables, seats and walls with a couple rules. Another thing was that the boba tea was very interesting , we ordered the mango tea and Thai milk tea. The employees were very nice , so overall I see it as a good place to settle for a bit and chill.

    My go to study spot. Clean bathrooms. Study cubbies are the best. Great customer service. I would gatekeep this place if I could!! One thing I would mention is to bring headphones or earbuds since people do get obnoxiously loud at times and the employees also shout out your order number... they could improve by providing buzzers similar to nearby cafes and restaurants.

    Mango milk tea with lychee jelly
    Nicole B.

    Cuckoos Cafe is a cute little shop that reminds me of a nicer version of Quickly. They have a variety of drink options (milk tea, real fruit, yogurt, cheese foam, hot tea, slushies, etc) and sandwiches & snacks as well! I wasn't hungry when I went, so I didn't try any of their food, but I was tempted as I was looking through the menu. I was told that their chicken nuggets are really good. They serve Takoyaki as well which I love so I may come back one day to try! I've tried both their wintermelon milk tea and the mango milk tea. Their wintermelon takes about the same as any other wintermelon elsewhere, but I was happy to see they have a mango milk tea! I love mango and it's not something you see on a menu often. I'll definitely be coming here more for that in the future. You can customize ice and sugar levels. I got half ice and half sugar which was perfect. I Iove that their drinks aren't too sweet. They have a good selection of toppings as well including mango and lychee jelly. And not that I ever need to substitute milk, but that's an option as well! There's plenty of seating room, and this would be a great place to come hang out while drinking bubble tea or eating snacks.

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken
    Michelle Z.

    Stopped by for a quick snack of Taiwanese Fried Chicken. Did not disappoint! I could tell how fresh from the fryer since it was really hot. The chicken was super tender and the breading was super crispy and flavorful. The nuggets were big pieces as well which made it even juicer. The place was really spacious with plenty of booths and tables to study and eat.

    Chicken Cutlet
    Bruce K.

    First things first: COVID-19 wise, have to have masks super spacious and when I went it seemed that everyone followed those instructions. **Food review** Trying to figure out what to eat is always a challenge for us, so when we saw Cuckoo's Cafe and their menu it was something simple and also something that we could pick up and go. There's nothing in getting cafe food for dinner... We ordered a variety of things: Chicken nuggets, chicken cutlet bento, chicken sandwich, pork egg sandwich, chicken cutlet. For me I wanted to try the chicken sandwich the most, but was lured to get the pork sandwich and also getting the cutlet. Yeah. I know, I kind of went overboard with wanting to try both the chicken sandwich and the pork egg sandwich and chicken cutlet. I would say if I had to choose one thing, it would have to be to get the chicken sandwich. It's not a small sandwich either. Both of the sandwiches were properly sized. The chicken cutlet was exactly what it is, a chicken cutlet nothing else. Pork sandwich I enjoyed, but I would say that the chicken sandwich won it for me. I would say if you wanted to get this I would suggest to get the bento which came with rice and some side dishes as well. I had samples of the nuggets, which I thought was pretty awesome and addictive. If you had spicy popcorn chicken at Sweet Hut, these aren't as spicy but the flavor is there and I think there's probably a bigger portion compared to the other places making it a winner for me. Next time I'm here, I definitely know what I'm ordering and I think I'll venture into the drinks and getting their boba and trying that out. But by far, if you're looking for a meal and you want to venture out from normal meals try this place for a to go experience.

    Stopped by Cuckoo's Cafe for an afternoon snack. The cafe is big and there's plenty of parking. Masks are required, social distancing encouraged and sanitizer provided. The staff was friendly, patient and helpful. They have extensive menu and offer a wide variety of drinks, snacks and more. I wasn't hungry, just wanted to try a drink. I ordered a wintermelon milk tea with soy milk and boba ~$5. The drink comes in one size, large. I asked for less sugar and less ice. The milk tea was creamy yet refreshing. It was sweet but not too sweet. The boba had perfect texture. I'm kinda picky when it comes to wintermelon milk teas and theirs did not disappoint. It was fantastic! Can't wait to go back and try their snacks.

    This is a really sweet place for great Taiwanese Bubble Tea, as well as other types of drinks and desserts...and even Chicken Nuggets (as the name suggests), Fries, and more! Plus, the place features some cute, gimmicky branding all throughout...including "Selfie" walls (definitely a trend in the Bubble Tea industry lol)! I just stopped in to grab a cup to go, but peeked inside and saw that they had some really nice, lounging areas and private booths even. Also, I really appreciated their super-strong and sturdy cup...not weak and flimsy, leading to easy spills. Anyway, I ordered Matcha Green Milk Tea with Boba...and it was really good..solid! Hope to be back to try more items off their menu.

Chinese food is based on the region the dish originated in China and not some nod to some general who never even had chicken... Ping's Place is the second stall when you walk in on the left. There isn't anything really much in terms of service. You walk up, locate the meal you want, drop you money, and they'll call you when your order is ready and you go and grab it. It's cafeteria style much like any food court. The ambiance isn't really anything to write home about either. it's a food court or more or less, a food strip with five different food stalls tucked on the left side of The Great Wall supermarket. So let's talk food. I've been hunting for a good Chinese beef noodle soup. Needless to say, Ping's isn't that bad. The soup itself was a bit bland but there was a richness to it that I found delightful. The noodles were al dente. The meat, tender as tender can be. It did have an odd irony smell to it but I did put white pepper, chili oil, and Chinese black vinegar into it so that might be something that gave it that weird iron smell but more or less, it was decent. Probably not the best beef noodle soup but better than some of the other joints I've had that claimed to carry Chinese beef noodle soup. I do recommend you check it out if you're already with sitting in the middle of a bustling Chinese supermarket.

I ordered 2 dishes to go (Mama's Chicken, and Bamboo + Pork) for my parents and me. I come to pick up the foods at the counter and behold, they give me 2 tiny boxes of white steam rice.

I was like, can you give me a bigger container than the tiny one you got. He said same tiny container. I was like can I just a one big one for $2. He said No, $2 for each tiny container. I was like seriously? I just spent $35 with them and I can't even get enough rice for me and my parents. Never in my years, have I ever had an issue about getting extra rice for any restaurant. This has got to be the cheapest restaurant in the world. I finally told the guy, don't worry about it. I didn't want to pay $4 extra for tiny containers or rice. They lost a long time customer for a such little dollars. Its the principle and they provided horrible customer service. I will not be coming back and I highly suggest in not giving these people any business especially on how cheap they are. I provided a photo of the rice containers that come with each entree. Nothing sucks more than having entrees and not enough rice to eat it with. Their entrees lack portions as their portions have gotten alot smaller as well.

I usually pop in pretty late in the evening before they close since the bakery is a little further from my home. Most of the goodies have dwindled down by the end of the night. The owner is a sweet Taiwanese lady who boasts their products don't contain any preservatives. Everything is freshly made - half the time, the bread baggies are seen open and cooling. My favorites are the buns - the custard, black sesame, hot dog and Chanel polo meat floss buns. Their sandos remind me of Family Mart sandwiches in Taiwan. And the bento boxes are massive - definitely recommend the fried pork chop bento box! The combo comes with a drink, as well. It's been a minute since my last visit so I'll definitely need to stop by on my next trip to Duluth/Johns Creek!

They're a bit pricier than sweet hut with buns averaging $3.75/4 ish Main focus is bread and even items with filling are not very full like the egg salad sandwich has 4 slices of bread to a thin layer of egg salad between each. I'm still on the hunt for an egg salad sandwich rivaling Lawson's or 7-11 but the one here has good bread! I tried an orange cream sandwich too and the cream left a film on my tongue so not my favorite but it's a nice, light dessert They have a ton of different options though so something for everyone. Next time, I'll have to come earlier to get a loaf of just plain white bread. They only had flavored breads $8/ loaf when I came and I got the sesame but I haven't tried it yet. It looks gorgeous though with a great swirl and fluffy texture The staff were friendly & quick. It has plenty of parking in the shared lot of the strip.

It wasn't busy for a Sunday lunch but it's in a very tucked away location on Lakefield Drive. We ordered the beef noodle soup, gravy noodles, potstickers, XLB, and egg tarts. While presentation was great everything fell short except for the XLB and egg tarts. I do like that there is an option for a small portion of noodles - great if you want room to try other dishes. Noodles themselves were nice and chewy but the flavor and thickness of the broths felt like I was eating ramen instead of Chinese or Taiwanese noodle soups. Meats were tender. The gravy noodles had fish, pork, and duck in it and had too many mixes of flavors for us. The potstickers were large but too oily and didn't have much flavor inside. XLB were standard - I thought they were fine but could have used some more soup. Egg tarts were also flaky and good as expected. The waitress said be careful as they were hot from the oven but I couldn't wait since I love dessert. It was cold in the center lol. Otherwise flavor was great.
