    The sea salt coffee was really good - smooth and flavorful. But the banh khot and com tam were a bit disappointing. The meat was overcooked and dry, and the portion size felt too small for the price. Hopefully, they can improve the food quality because the drinks were great. Service was a bit slow too.

    Spacious coffee shop

    First of all, very sweet and helpful staff. This place is quite spacious, nice ambiance with outdoor seatings. Their drinks just have the right level of sweetness for me. I love the vibe, definitely come back.

    The food is delicious, the vermicelli noodles are a bit high in MSG, the staff is attentive, the goat curry is delicious but the goat has a slight smell, the drinks should be a little less sweet, the avocado smoothie doesn't have the fragrant smell of avocado, I would like to give you some suggestions for the restaurant to improve better. Đồ ăn ngon, bún có chút bột ngọt, nhân viên chu đáo, cà ri dê ngon nhưng dê có mùi hơi nặng, đồ uống nên bớt ngọt một chút, sinh tố bơ không có mùi bơ thơm, mình xin góp ý cho bạn để quán cải thiện tốt hơn.

    Omg the salt coffee at HdK is literally life-changing . One sip and I was like "bye Starbucks " - now this is my everyday morning spot. The coffee hits strong but that salted cream on top makes it sooo smooth and addictive. HdK basically became my daily routine--walk in, grab my salt coffee, and my whole day is instantly better. Trust me, once you try it, you're hooked. #saltcoffeeislife

    My wife, visiting oldest daughter, and I wanted banh mi for dinner. We decided to give this new Vietnamese cafe a try because of the buy 4 get 1 free banh mi special. We ordered three grilled pork and two special banh mi to go. The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, very good. All varieties of banh mi had Vietnamese pate spread instead of butter. My wife and I really preferred pate over butter in our banh mi. But oldest daughter prefered butter. The grilled pork was nicely seasoned and tasty. The banh mi could use a little bit more pork. The special had the usual Vietnamese cold cuts, but also had Spam which we loved. We really enjoyed our banh mi. Prices lower than the surrounding competitors. Also the competitors usually have the buy 5 get one free special as standard. We like the buy 4 get 1 free special better since it is just my wife and I living under one roof. Counter service was quick and friendly. We will return to explore the rest of the menu.

    LOTS of space, very friendly staff, a to-go as well as dine-in option. I had the Viet coffee with boba, and it is delicious though a little small. But I'll be back as it's on my way to work. I also appreciate that they are open very early, which many tea shops do not offer. Great vibe. They also have a nice outdoor seating area.

    Service was fantastic, drinks are great. Music on point. Would recommend and comeback in the future

    This looks so good! The layers are perfect -- creamy milk tea, that rich brown sugar drizzle, and also the matcha cheese foam on top, yummyyy! Absolutely refreshing

    Drink and food ok. Service name Tri needs to smile more. Drinks take too long. The server asks to pay when the drinks just barely come out.

    I was in for a long drive from Sugar Land out to The Woodlands, so I decided to swing into Asiatown…read moreand grab a drink to help soothe the pain of driving on the Sam Houston at 3pm. I pulled over in the first parking lot I could find and opened Yelp to help me find something. I'm telling you all of this because I ended up walking into Le Drip and ordering the "Egg Coffee", knowing nothing about it. Now, I've been on this earth for a minute and I've drank a lot of coffee. This is among the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Certainly the best I've had in recent memory. What I'm saying is it's in the running for the best coffee drink I've ever had. The egg cream is thick and eggy, which I loved. The coffee itself is bold with a strong coffee taste. The cream is dusted with a heavy shake of cinnamon and it all melded together into a delicious concoction that I couldn't get enough of. If you're looking for a memorable coffee drink, I would recommend giving this spot a shot. Tell 'em Big D sent you.

    Finally got around to trying this cozy little coffee shop. Perhaps it wasn't for me, but I found…read morethe drinks at Le'Drip to be just okay. The famous Egg Coffee didn't stand out at all from all the praise it receives. I expected a rich, creamy coffee experience, but I couldn't find any coffee essence at all. Instead, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet from start to finish. I was also excited to try the new Lychee Jasmine Matcha since it sounded phenomenal, but it ended up being my least favorite. The lychee flavor completely overpowered matcha, making it hard to enjoy the drink. Overall, it was a good try but it wasn't cup of coffee.

I love their app, highly recommend it to pre-order through the app, it's extremely accurate in term of wait time and easy to use. However, there are a couple of downsides: their matcha is just average, their menu is a bit limited, and my favorite drinks are frustratingly often out of stock or out of season. My top recommendations are the Coconut Mango Boom, Cloud Jasmine Tea (basic but so good), Yuzu Oolong Tea, Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Mochi Yingde Black Milk Tea, Grapefruit Boom and the toasty/wheat-y Longji Cloud Milk Tea.

We tried the highly recommended mango boom and the yuzu green tea, which were both solid choices. I downloaded the app and was able to place my order from there by-passing the long line at the counter. However, it still took a significant amount of wait time for my order number to be called to pick up my drinks. The app had some deals that discounted my order, which was a plus. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to return, but if it comes up as a suggested place, I wouldn't pass it up.

Traffic to get in and out is horrible! Parking is a struggle on busy days. Fortunately, once you park here, you can pretty much grab some drinks, baked goods, play claw machines, go grocery shopping, etc. Trung Nguyen serves espressos, matcha, phin coffee, phin drips, teas, and white coffee (lighter version). Toppings are $1-$1.50 and includes grass jelly, coffee jelly, cream, single shot, or extra matcha. I've tried their egg coffee, coconut coffee, ube coffee, pandan coffee, and black sesame. Although I love all of them, my current fav is the black sesame! YUM!! I've yet to try their matcha and teas, but Trung Nguyen is always on our list whenever we're in town- so I will for sure try their other drinks at one point or another. Viet coffee is everywhere in Houston (and I love that). With Trung Nguyen, your drinks are consistent, and you can always count on getting the strongest coffee (not watered down) whenever you get their coffee.

    So glad to hear that one recently opened up in Houston. Would LOVE to take my cousins here one day…read more Environment/Atmosphere - Super crowded when we got here, but the lines moved fast, and there was a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait in line for the cashier. One of my favorite things was how fragrant the space smelled while I waited for my boba. You could tell there was an exceptional tea aroma lingering despite all the cream and sweetness. The place was exceptionally clean for being so busy, and the workers consistently cleaned as they made the drinks, so you knew you could trust the sanitation here. Drink Design - I have to make a separate comment on how CUTE these drinks were. I loved the intentional sticker placement over the lips and the little carrying handle. You could tell they went the extra mile to make these drinks not just flavorful, but an experience in and of themselves. Even their receipt paper felt luxurious. That sounds ridiculous to point out, but the thought behind every aspect of this place is impeccable. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had today, this lemony drink hit the spot with its perfect tartness. The cream had bits of lemon zest in it, adding to the aroma. I tried to adjust the sweetness when I ordered and was told it had a built-in sweetness, but if I found it too sweet, they would happily switch it out for another drink. I felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy--and luckily, the drink was perfect, so no return was needed! Creamy Mango Tart - Literally like the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much and really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of BOTH tarts. Instantly a fan favorite. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my favorite because it was a bit too creamy after everything else I had today. Still, I loved the tea profile and can absolutely see why others would love it. Overall, I love, love, LOVE this place. 1000/10. From the experience to the quality and intentionality behind every little detail, I couldn't be happier with my visit. I never thought I'd ever say that a drink was so Instagram-worthy, but these drinks were beautiful--like models of the boba world. Would go back in a heartbeat. This has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

We had to wait a little in line but the service was fast! The tea tastes great and I like the cup they serve it. I appreciate that they offer your sweet level and ice level you prefer. And the prices are reasonable compared to other places I've visited. You see families of all ages come into this place, as it's shown in social media it definitely brings a crowd. One nice addition that I saw was a Photo Booth and tea tasting station! You don't have to worry about parking as it's located in a strip mall so there's quite a bit of spaces. Overall I enjoyed my time and would like to try other tea options here.
