    Delicious bowl of pho (combination). Not the best pic, sorry.
    Andy P.

    I've been here when it first opened and my daughter wanted boba tea. It was okay. Just found out they are serving pho. Finally pho comes to Etown. For the last 10 years or so, if I wanted Vietnamese dishes, I'd have to go to Louisville. I think the owners are Cambodian as there is some Cambodian pork noodle soup on the menu. The pho is awesome, it's so good I came back the next day. It's a little pricey but worth it. I got the combination with meatballs, tendon, thinly sliced flank and a beef rib with the usual accoutrements (onions, scallions, cilantro, mint, bean sprouts). The broth was clear and packed with beefy deliciousness. It came with packets of hoisin sauce and sriracha and a bonus hot chili garlic which just added to the already rich flavored broth. The combination bahn mi sandwich was very good too, though I think they were a little heavy on the mayonnaise. If there was pate it was drowned out by the mayo. The owners are super friendly, they greeted me and took my order with a warm smile. The restaurant is a nice size with comfortable seating that has a modern look. There's two signs out front, the boba place and the sandwich place with two entrances but it's just one restaurant. I've had pho all over Kentucky, well not west, but in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Florence and Ft Knox and this definitely in the top 3.

    This was our first time here. The space is large, very clean, and inviting. There is a bookshelf to grab a book, sit and relax with your drink. It's a nice venue! I purchased drinks to go. The owner helped with deciding on drinks for my kids (no caffeine and fruity) as well as explaining the menu. Super friendly service. We all agreed that the roasted brown sugar milk tea was everyone's favorite! I liked the fresh fruit in the shooting star drink. The brown sugar coco was more like an iced hot chocolate than tea, perfect if you like chocolate. Also, the tapioca balls were perfection! Very well cooked. We'll be back to try the pho. Can't wait! Oh, don't forget to get the stamp card. My order had 10% and 50% off of drinks before you even get to the 10th drink!

    The restaurant was calmly decorated and very chill vibes! Great service and they even had merch for their store! I had never seen things that were in their menu! I got a mango frappe with mango boba poppers! It was a mango dreamsicle! I want this every day!! I told my friend if he goes there again get me one and put it in the freezer!! Ill pay him Back! Yes that's how good they are!!! Sorry I drank it too fast and then my friends took a "SIP" so we were all hooked! This boba drink has blown my mind. This yelper is chef kissing the boba human that made it! Thank you! Like Arnold schwarzenegger : "I'll be back!"

    Had an amazing experience at Daboba. Their drinks are absolutely delicious. I had a passion fruit green tea large concoction. Super refreshing tasty, is all I have to say. They just added Pho to their menu, it made me happy. You can see that it was freshly made. Their home made chili sauce is the best in the Asian restaurants in the area. You only need a couple of drops to get it spicy.

    The BEST boba in this area. I have high expectations when it comes to boba because I grew up in CA and I know what authentic boba is supposed to be like. This place checks all the boxes! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Ordering is super quick and easy. The staff patiently answers any/all questions you may have in regard to their menu. It's a one stop shop for some delicious drinks and bahn mi. Even if you are not a fan of boba, I highly recommend trying it out! They have a large selection of drinks from classic milk tea to yogurt drinks. They also have additional toppings besides boba. A very warm and welcoming cozy vibe. Very clean. Perfect place for a little date or a study session. I will definitely be coming back!

    So happy to finally have a boba place in town! It's located off Dixie Hwy in the Lincoln shopping center with plenty of parking. I was greeted right away when walked up to the counter & browsed the menu. Sara was really nice & I asked her suggestions on what to get. I ended up ordered the brown sugar pearl matcha with boba in a regular size. It didn't take long for them to make & once I picked up from the counter, he even suggested I shake it up since the brown sugar was setting fast at the bottom. My drink was delicious, I am a matcha fan & loved that it wasn't super sweet & was a decent size for a regular. Definitely will be back

    I teas are out of this world good! Get the cheese topping too. I've had the boba tea with mango and cheese topping; I've also gotten the brown sugar matcha tea. Both were very delicious. The sandwiches are cold too. The tea is made fresh every day. The service was fast, friendly and because I waited for the tea to be made they sized my drink up to a large. The restaurant is very clean.

    Place was delicious!! The place was clean and the service was extremely fast. We ordered 5 drinks and it came out to roughly $35 which is typical for boba drinks now days. The fruit drinks had chunks of real fruit versus powder. Experience was great, we plan to come back to try the food menu next!

    Milk for the kids! They have a kid friendly menu
    Kayla L.

    I am so excited that boba is in etown! And they have a kid friendly menu! I got the brown sugar milk tea and she got the brown sugar milk. My son got a yogurt smoothie! We will def be back.

    The Cambodian pork soup is fantastic. Never had so many complex flavors in one bowl. Will be back again and again.

Twelve years ago, my dear friend began breeding Goldendoodles: to produce dogs capable of changing lives and they did (Many Many Lives) One of those puppies is Ozzy. Ozzy isn't "just a dog." He is a highly trained guide dog by Custom Canines Service Dog Academy who gives his person, Kevin Kraly, the independence that many of us take for granted every single day. He is Kevin's eyes. His partner. His freedom. Recently, Kevin and Ozzy attempted to enter THIS restaurant together. Instead of being welcomed, they were turned away. They were asked for identification for Ozzy. They were told they could only dine outside only there was no outside dining . They were even told Kevin could come inside if he tied Ozzy up outside and left him there. Imagine being told to leave your eyes at the door. Let.that.sink.in. A blind man was told to leave his guide dog outside. Even after the law regarding service animals was shown and explained, entry was still denied. This isn't simply poor customer service. This is a reminder that many people with disabilities still face barriers that should not exist in 2026. The Americans with Disabilities Act protects the right of service dog teams to access businesses open to the public. These protections exist because guide dogs are not pets--they are essential medical assistance animals that allow their handlers to navigate the world safely and independently. No one should have to fight for basic access because they are blind. No one should have to defend the legitimacy of their guide dog. And no one should ever be told to leave their eyes outside.
