The pho is absolutely delicious rich, flavorful broth, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked noodles. You can really taste the care that goes into it. It's comforting, filling, and hits the spot every time. And let's talk about the bubble tea So good! The flavors are on point, not overly sweet, and the boba is always fresh and chewy. It's the perfect pairing with a warm bowl of pho. If you're in Waldorf and craving great pho and bubble tea with a clean restaurant, Coco Bay Tea is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!

I've been to Cocoa Bay before, and it was good,nothing spectacular, but decent enough to return…read more This visit, however, was more about the experience than the food, and unfortunately, it wasn't a good one. While waiting for my order, I noticed the staff (who seemed pretty young, not saying that negatively, just observationally) loudly talking about not getting tips. Loud enough for the whole place to hear. That was my first sign that the atmosphere might be off. When my order was ready, they didn't call out the item or confirm anything, they just said my name, tossed the tied-up bag on the counter, and walked away. I watched them call other orders properly with names and items, so the contrast stood out. Regardless of how good food may be, customer experience matters. I didn't ask for a manager because I've worked in management before, and I know staff behavior often reflects internal leadership and environment. Still, it's something worth noting: even for quick-service or takeout spots, courtesy and professionalism go a long way. This interaction felt dismissive and honestly off-putting. I'm not writing this to be harsh,just to be honest. This is why I prefer to tip in casHopefully it's something the team can improve on, because small interactions shape the whole experience.

Not a huge menu, but the Pad Thai and spring rolls tasted good and the mango and sticky rice was a nice surprise as it was delicious. As I dined there, I noticed that the interior is a little dated and the seats need refurbishing, but it's quaint at least. For the Waldorf area, this is probably the best Thai I've experienced thus far. Sure, that's not saying much, but the food isn't an embarrassment, unlike some northern VA places I've experienced. Also, the spice levels are solid. I had level 2 spicy and it made my nose run slightly which impressed me a bit. I figure level 3 or 4 are up to the task of being authentic Thai spicy.

And when I say that, I mean, restaurants that don't specialize in one or the other, but actually serve both. However, I came here, wanting sushi and Gyoza and that's what I got. Added bonus was the fact that I still got the Korean bonchon and I personally love kimchi, so it was amazing. I'm not going to lie: the sushi was far better than I expected it to be. I ordered either the Monday or Wednesday lol and a spicy toner. I also ordered the beef Gyoza. In total, my bill was 26 or so dollars. The rolls were a very good size. I really liked the flavor of the special roll I got. It was a good size and tasted pretty fresh. I would definitely come back. It is a very small, local business, but it was an enjoyable experience and the food came out very quickly. I also really liked the sauce for the gyoza.

This is a very, very small Noodles compared to the half dozen others I've been to, but the staff is very friendly. We are creatures of habit, and we order the same thing every single time we come to a Noodles... our Annapolis location recognizes us and knows our order without asking, they also catered my toddlers birthday last year. Yes, we have a problem... anyway, back on track... I noticed the Penne Rosa tasted different than any other location I've been to, not bad... but not the usual. The staff was very attentive, almost too much so. They came to the table every few minutes and asked to take dishes away each time, or which each time we were still eating. It interrupted a lot of conversations and was a tad bothersome. But, overall I'd recommend this location, and we will almost guaranteed be back for future trade offs.

We originally came to use the 2 for 12 culinary classics special but ended up adding proteins, drinks, and garlic bread so with everything (two bowls with protein, two drinks, cheesy garlic bread), the total was a little over $30. I could've done without the protein in my bowl. In my opinion Noodles and Company is one of those places that tastes better with all the "fixins", so if you can add anything to elevate your bowl I highly suggest it. However, the proteins are pretty basic and don't seem to add much pizzazz to the dishes. My partner complained that the noodles were heavy and greasy, but mine were . Not your traditional pad Thai but pretty decent for a chain. I asked for no cilantro (yuck). The cheesy bread barely had any cheese on it, was a bit dry, and I didn't care for the flavor of it, so I probably won't order that again. Service was good and our food came out in about 10 minutes. There are plenty of booth seating and tables inside to sit and eat as well. Great for quick comfort food but don't expect anything too fancy.

The tables are spacious enough to comfortably fit large groups (I've seen families of 8!), and there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy everything. Ordering is super convenient with the self-serve tablet, making it easy to keep the food coming. One of the best parts is the variety--you can choose from hotpot, or go all in with hotpot, sushi, and BBQ. I've tried all three, and they do not disappoint! The selection feels endless, which makes every visit exciting. I especially love that you get to cook your own food, even the BBQ. That's a big plus since many Korean BBQ spots cook it for you. It makes the experience more interactive and fun. The soup bases are flavorful and really elevate the whole meal. And now they've started serving alcoholic beverages too, which is a great addition! Overall: Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and a hands-on dining experience that keeps me coming back every time.

However the service is absolutely terrible and only declining. Pace yourself when you're drinking whatever drink you ordered because the chance of you catching your waiter to get another one will be almost non existent. Mostly teenagers are employed here which is good for the work experience but they are too busy on their cell phones to check on their tables. Even when the restaurant is empty you will still not receive service. You will watch your waiter pacing back and forth on their phone longer than you will spend drinking your water/soda. I used to come here once a week but the service has deterred me so much that at most I come once a month and each time I come it's getting worse and worse. I've had to pull the manager up on shift one time to ask for a simple refill because my waiter was too busy on the phone. I'm usually a great tipper, 25% or more, here I simply give 18% because most visits I sit for 30+ minutes with nothing to drink and zero way besides walking up to the waiter to get their attention since their phones are so close to their face it's touching their noses. I won't even come for dinner anymore because the price is not worth their service.
