I had a milk boba tea, the rest of my party had milk shakes and smoothies and more boba. Everyone was happy with their drinks. We went to the park around the corner and let all the sugar burn off for the kids. This was a reasonably priced spot for a sweet drink. Our bill for 4, was around $40 so it's about 10$ a drink out the door. Not bad when you consider that you can't make this at home and everything is fresh, made to order, and specialty ingredients. This is one of the kids favorite spots so we will absolutely be back. Their cookies also looked amazing. We didn't try them but they have samples available and they were tempting. Very cute interior as well.

Either way, they keep the place clean and their service is fine. But yeah, the calamari, in our soup, curry, and fried were all horrid. Very rubbery, e.g. they are very overcooked.

We love to support small, local businesses! We tried the spicy tuna roll, spicy Cali roll & Philly roll. They were all made to order and the wait time was minimal. The tuna was very tender & fresh (tuna is one of our regular sushi go-to's). The Cali roll had a good flavor as did the Philly roll. The Philly roll wasn't a $5 special but it was reasonable - honestly everything on the menu was reasonably priced. We are looking forward to trying some of the other options - the bowls looked amazing! We didn't have time today, but they also have a decent ice cream selection and lots of fun drinks!

Doing so here makes me wonder if I have made a poor life choice. Lol Anyway, it's a decent bowl of ramen. The tonkatsu broth was okay, but clearly lacks some depth of flavor. The noodles and meat were okay too, but the best thing in the bowl was the wonderful egg. Service is not really existent, but I was taken back by the server telling me that they are closing multiple times even though I still have time left. I only took 15 minutes to eat my bowl of ramen btw.

The traditional Thai artwork and atmosphere inside was so cool. The woman who served me was incredibly attentive (owner maybe?) and kept filling up my diet cokes (I might have a problem but mind ya business!) and I so appreciated it! I ordered the spring rolls which were HUMONGOUS. I also ordered my favorite Thai curry, Panang, and was blown away by the flavor set.

I really don't know what the deal is but it seems like they are slipping lately. The coconut soup is watered down and basically has no rich coconutty flavor, the spring rolls were marginal, but the chicken rolls were pretty good. Don't get me wrong. I love Thai food... Good Thai food. Service is fine and the lady is polite but short. The ambience is okay. I have seen a steady decline in the quality of food at Thailand restaurant. It's disheartening.

The dumplings were juicy and stuffed with filling! The bao buns were a very generous portion for only getting two pieces in the order. My beef ribs pho--I'm still drooling about it as I type this review! The beef was SO tender, it literally fell away from the bones. You get two huge ribs too! The pho broth was decent but I made it better with the table condiments (hoisin, sriracha, and lime). So good! The iced coffee was just okay. I've had better. But the food! Go for the food!! As far as what to expect, you order at the kiosk or with the worker. You get a table number and sit wherever. We didn't get the robot delivering food experience -- just a regular guy lol If you don't finish your food, they have a take out station where you can pack your leftovers (no need to ask for assistance). They will take away your plates/trash. You don't have to clean your mess. Overall, I highly recommend!

You can order at the counter with an employee or use the self-service kiosk, which makes everything quick and easy.

The kimchi and pickled cucumbers were unbelievably fresh and full of flavor. The pho was rich, comforting, and exactly what I was craving, and the dumplings were absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, fun experience, and a robot? Say less. We'll definitely be back!

New pho spot for me? I think so!…read more I ordered the summer rolls and the combo pho (eye of round steak, brisket, and meatballs) as well as the summer rolls. The rolls? Fresh. The peanut sauce? Mouthwatering. But yall, this pho? PHO-NOMENAL! I came here because my new Thai spot is closed for two weeks and really needed a soupy vibe. Pho is one of my top soup-style dishes (panang curry if I'm going Thai) but the Southeast Asians have they stuff down PAT! This pho is some of the best I've had (I grew up around a large Vietnamese population so I promise im not just another white boy pretending I have something new and improved, lol) The building is SO cute inside, very posh. Unassuming store front. But the service was top notch and the vibe is gorgeous and calm. Much needed after a long day at work!

After venturing here 5 times over the past 3 years, I've dubbed this my go to for the midlands. Every time I have come in whether to order the Pho tai (steak pho), Pho tai sach (steak & tripe), or the Pho Dac Biet (beef combo) The broth & meat texture has not waned. The broth boasts all the vital & signature notes of anise, garlic, rock sugar, cinnamon well simmered & rendered beef bone stock, onions, cloves, & a perfect amount of salt to marry each ingredient to compliment and layer the dish. Pho is a complex but beautiful symphonic bowl of soul that speaks in every sip, slurp, bite, chew. If a restaurant is not putting out a bowl that is exactly the same each time, it's best to move on to somewhere more consistently passionate. I long to be closer to this business that pushes a cart with works of art piping hot in authentic, bold, absolutely award winning manner.

This spot was my choice for lunch, and I wanted to give it a try because I've heard great things…read moreabout this place. I ordered the basil chicken and beef rice, chicken wings, and veggie rolls. The veggie rolls come with 3 standard-sized rolls. They were tasty and crisp. The chicken wings were the fat wings, crispy, and had an interesting but good breading on them. The chicken comes with about 5 wings. Again, although the breading was good, I didn't like the wings as a whole because they were too chunky for my preference. The rice was just okay to me. It had flavor. However, the flavor to me was a bit different, and I didn't prefer the taste. I could also tell that it didn't taste too fresh, which could have made a difference as well. I ate what I could because I was hungry at the time, but once I phased out of the deep pit of hunger, I was good on the rice and the wings. They give you a good portion size. The flavor is there; it's just not for me, and although hot, I wish the rice were fresher.
