Bubble tea's popularity has been spreading like wildfire... AS IT SHOULD! Secaucus was in need of a…read moregood boba franchise. Thank goodness they now have Tsaocaa, a brand that prides itself on providing drinks made from high quality, premium tea leaves and fresh fruit ingredients. This location is in the Plaza at Harmon Meadow. It shares a large public parking lot with many other businesses. The store is clean, modern, and bright with a few tables and seating. You can order at one of the self-service kiosks or at the counter. The menu is overwhelming in the best way. There are SO many options for drinks - milk teas, fruit teas, slushies, fruit mojitos, yogurt slushes, you name it. You'll find both classic and unique flavors. You can customize the sugar and ice levels. Just a heads up, certain drinks have set sizes and some already have a topping/s included in the price. So keep that in mind when you're ordering so you don't get charged for extra add-ons. This location also has a food menu that offers egg waffles, fried chicken, and ramen. We ordered... *Passion Fruit & Lime Tea with passion fruit popping boba (~$7) - Very refreshing, tarty, and tangy! This is the perfect summer drink on a hot day. I was very pleased to see that they used fresh fruits in my drink. *King of Milk Oolong Tea with boba (~$7) - I usually don't drink oolong tea, but it's rubbing off on me now... This drink had the right balance of milk and freshly brewed tea. It was creamy, smoky, and rich with very strong notes of a roasted flavor. We requested 30% sugar level and the barista nailed it. The boba pearls were chewy, but not as sweet as I would've liked. Their pearls are amber brown in color as they are only made with sweet potato (no additional syrups or food dyes). Most boba is made from cassava root and then colored artificially. This isn't your run-of-the-mill shop that uses artificial syrups and powders... By the first few sips, you'll be able to tell they use high quali-TEA ingredients - definitely a must try for boba lovers!

I would've gotten take out from here instead. But of course we had to stop and get a little boba tea to try. The store itself is gorgeous, modernly beautiful furniture, amazing light fixtures. The staff was friendly as well. Just going through all the boba options on the kiosk screen is overwhelming in a good way! There's so many to choose from. I decided to just go original and get a black milk tea with boba. My boyfriend got a green grape and lime tea. We both loved our options. I also added an order of rice cakes and they were delectable. Almost wished I got two. I'll definitely be back to try their ramen and other teas. Thankful to have found this new gem in the area!

A few of us had been talking about trying it for a while, and it totally lived up to the hype. The vibe inside was welcoming and comfortable, and the whole hot pot experience made lunch feel like something fun and different instead of just a quick meal. We picked a broth and then ordered a bunch of meats, vegetables, and noodles to share. Everything tasted really fresh, and the broth was full of flavor from the start and got even better as we kept cooking. It's the kind of place where you end up trying a little bit of everything, and it's perfect for a group because everyone can customize their own bites. We also appreciated that it didn't feel rushed, even though it was lunchtime. Service was great too. The staff was friendly, checked on us often enough without hovering, and helped explain options for anyone who hadn't done hot pot before. That made a big difference, especially with a bigger group. By the time we finished, we were already talking about coming back. I definitely plan to return soon with my family, and I can also see myself bringing a few colleagues here as well. It's a great spot for catching up, doing a casual group lunch, or just getting a really satisfying meal.

Black Tonkotsu Ramen: I think the thing I liked the most about this it is the noodle. It's firm but chewy and you get a respectable amount of it. The egg had a bit of a green band, but I'm not gonna complain about it. The broth is different from most black tonkotsu ramens that I've had, but it's not amazing. The chashu was the 2nd best thing in the bowl. It may not have tasted different from your everyday ramen, but there is something nice about doing the basics well. Generally, this is good enough to try. Service: I ordered by tablet. Paid on the card reader attached to the tablet. Got my food 10 minutes later. Not much service to talk about. Ambiance: The store looked nice. You're there to order and get your food. You dine in the many available tables in the dining area.

There is a long bench inside where you can wait for your food. The area looked clean. I got the curry ramen. I did not find it to be spicy at all. It comes with pork, green onions, bean sprouts, egg, corn. I would say that this is average for a food court meal. I would have liked more flavor and spicy but the warm broth was perfect for a cold day.

We've been coming here for a few years, and unfortunately the experience has declined noticeably…read moreover time -- which is disappointing because the restaurant has a lot of potential and a great market. We've visited almost every Thursday during the winter, and the dining room has repeatedly been uncomfortably cold. Most guests, including us, kept our jackets on throughout the meal. When we asked about it, we received conflicting explanations: the manager said the heat had just been turned on because dinner service was starting, while our server told us the heater was broken. Given that we experienced the same issue earlier in the winter -- when space heaters were set up -- it seems like a known problem that hasn't been properly addressed. The bathrooms were even colder, which made things especially uncomfortable. On top of that, the bathroom fixtures had rough, visible trim/paste around the edges, which looked unfinished and unappealing. The food quality has also slipped. The Korean fried chicken bites used to be a favorite, but this time they tasted like plain store-bought chicken breast with only a light drizzle of gochujang -- barely enough to notice any flavor. When our drinks arrived, the server joked that they would "warm us up," which felt a bit tone-deaf given how cold the space was. As a long-time customer, it's disappointing to say this will likely be our last visit.

Plus the parking situation is terrible in that area so just beware it'll take some time. It's a solid spot to visit though. Super homey and the decor is cute. They have flavorful and variety rolls. We sat and were immediately helped. The waitress was very nice and patient with me and explained a lot on the menu because I'm fairly new to sushi but my girlfriend loves this spot! We started with kani salad and miso soup. Love a good miso soup. Hot and relaxing in the winter weather. The kani salad was flavorful. My first time trying it. For our meals I had the 3 classic sushi rolls with the miso soup. I love that they had different options if you didn't want to stick to just one type. They have some with 10 qty where you can select any classic rolls and salmon lovers, tuna lover, etc where you can pick any of those type of rolls. My girlfriend had the Loco Tiger which was spicy crab, shrimp tempura, wrapped in kombu moro with chipotle sauce. It was delicious! She finished it all. I tried some and really liked the shrimp tempura inside. They have good sauces too, like the sweet chili and spicy mayo. I was full so quick! Wish I could've had more space to keep going.

It's a large space with many tables, several up front by the windows overlooking 14th Street, a dining bar, and more tables in back. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were there with our granddaughter Helaina, and they were very helpful in getting us a high chair. As last time, they give her chopsticks with a plastic piece which makes it easy for her to hold. Yakitori are excellent: the chicken and beef are served hot on a small plate, perfect. Spicy miso ramen is my favorite, served in a large bowl. The bar has a large selection; we haven't indulged, not at noon, with a year and a half old, but it sure looks good. Food is excellent, a good value. Staff is great. A wonderful place to have a delicious meal. Highly recommended.
