So excited to see a HL on this side of town. The entrance is a small door that leads you to the…read moreback, super tiny place with just a counter to order from. What we swallowed: * MANGO MATCHA LATTE WITH SALTED CHEESE: I got an XL 'cuz I was super excited about ordering but this drink was supeeeer sweet. The drink was nice and slushy but something was just overpowering. The salted cheese at the end was the best. *STRAWBERRY YOGURT WITH OREO TOPPING: My daughter even said this was too sweet for her. The drink had jellies at the bottom that they didn't mention in the menu so she wasn't a fan. She would normally ask for the biggest size but I got her the smallest and she still couldn't finish it. Not sure what's up but this place was super sweet.

My boyfriend and I ordered two drinks. One was mine and was fantastic, the mango orange green tea…read moremilk tea with boba/bubbles tasted like a fabulous tangy fruit cake! I adored it but my boyfriend's lemonade jasmine tea drink was too sour hence the 3 star rating. I've had that same drink at the Polo Park area and it wasn't that sour there. The customer service was nice here but the building is a lot smaller than at the Polo Park area. My drink had strips of orange peels in it. It was an eclectic adventure for my taste buds! 5 stars for my drink!

It is across between ice…read morecream and traditional shaped ice. it is made by shaving thin ribbons from a frozen milk block, creating a fluffy cloud like texture that just melts in your mouth. Ambiance is three small tables seating around 4 people each and games are available to play (card games and a Sorry version (SpongeBob) with a fun popping dice roller. Service is fairly quick depending on how many customers and what they order as items can be really complex! Usually quick though. I haven't had shaved ice since travelling abroad and this was excellent!

When Hawaii Kai opened up and I read that it served Poke, I could not resist to try it. I love Poke…read moreand unfortunately, Winnipeg is seriously lacking in Poke options (I believe Chosabi is the only other place that offers Poke). Hawaii Kai is located inside Cityplace mall. It is a take-out spot, catering to the city's downtown office workers. Their menu includes a variety of 'healthy' Hawaiian and Asian cuisine, including salads, smoothies and bubble-tea. I ordered the salmon poke bowl. It came out to about $15. The portion was relatively small for what I expected. The salmon had a strange type of mayo spice on it. The crunch flakes used were reminiscent of cheap Frito corn chips. Overall I was disappointed. I was looking forward to Hawaii Kai as an alternative to Freshii (also located in the mall), but with it being much more expensive for sub-par quality, I think I will be pass on this in the future and head back to Freshii for their rice bowls (I know this is not an apples to apples comparison). This scores 3 out of 5 mainly because of its location and it being the second spot in Winnipeg to offer Poke.

This boba tea place has really interesting flavors unique to this company. In October they had a…read morelimited edition Pumpkin bubble tea that wasn't really sweet but it was pleasant enough. My friend loved the mildly sweet Jasmine Green Milk tea. On another day I decided to try the Bunny Strawberry Yogurt smoothie and it was so delicious! In fact I think I'll come back just to try another yogurt drink! The drink really does have a cute cream shaped bunny sitting on top and it's adorable. I recommend getting the large size because the small is like kid sized small.

Sushi was great, the Chinese dinner needs some work. Everything I ordered (except breaded veal -…read morethat was amazing) was overly breaded or tasted like it came from the freezer. I have no idea what is home made but it just didn't taste like homemade.

I found them to be a little under filled. But not enough to complain or be upset. Huge portions and decent pricing for a rural restaurant. Service and owner/employee?

I've tried the mango lychee milk tea and the earl grey with pudding milk tea and the caramel milk tea and they are all tasty and fantastic! I like how when you order with the cashier lady she always remembers to ask me if I want to customize my order. She asks me how much sugar I want and what type of boba pearls I want etc. I love milk tea! It's such a fun drink to drink :)

What we swallowed: *HALO HALO: I savored every bite of this deliciousness. It took a bit longer than the other drinks but it was worth every minute. *STAWBERRY MANGO POPPING BOBA *MANGO AND MANGO POPPING BOBA *STRAWBERRY WITH RAINBOW JELLY My daughters are 9 and 11 and I can tell when we hit up a good boba place when they finish their drinks. We have been to some places where it's either too sweet, too watery or what other non-sense where the drink is messed up. They finished these and asked if we could come back the next day. Enough said. This place rocks!

Visited this new bubble tea shop on Pembina Hwy which is still in its soft opening stage. Was told…read morethat the grand opening day would be on July 12th. The place is really cute and the owners were kind. The first time I went there, I tried their taro freeze with taro jelly, which comes in a large size. It's topped with whipped cream. The taro flavour is on the milder side and tasted more milky. The owners were open to suggestions and improving their drinks so I suggested to make the taro flavour a bit more stronger and they were susceptible to the feedback. I was able to try their mango pudding which was really good! It tasted just like the ones you would find at the Chinese restaurant at dim sum. The second time I visited, I got their tofu pudding with ginger syrup which is served warm. The tofu pudding was silky smooth. Would have loved for it to come with more syrup but overall it still tasted great. The owner suggested I try it with coconut milk so he gave me some to add to it and I liked it. It was my first time trying tofu pudding this way. I also got to try the tropical fruit tea which was quite good. I tried it without any sugar adjustments and it is on the sweeter side so I would suggest getting it at probably 70% sugar, but if you prefer it to be sweet than at 100% it's perfect for you. The caramel flan was also really good as well. Overall, I would highly recommend coming to try them out!

Sometimes their seems to be more tables and chairs but it's always pretty clean in there. The Red Bean Green Matcha bubble tea is kind of creamy and delicious. I really liked it. The second time I tried the Green tea Lemonade drink with Sago transparent bubbles and I thought it went well together. Everything tasted delicious and made me feel glad to be able to drink a delicious bubble tea at this establishment.

I decided to try the cheese onion bun and it had a kind of cheesy whipped cheese on the top and it was yummy. I also bought a blueberry bubble tea with like a cheese foam cream topping. I wish it had been more liquid-ish then frozen but I still enjoyed it because the blueberry tea flavor was very organic and fresh. I think this bubble tea cafe is a hidden treasure! Every bubble tea lover needs to go to the Dynasty Building in Chinatown to discover this gem.

We decided on the salmon oshi - it was so rich and delicious. My other favorite was the signature roll - The lovely salmon. Assorted tempura is always good - hard to mess that up and we had the kamikazi roll. Everything was so good!! We did forget to double check our order, as you are suppose to mark them on the ordering menu. Make sure there aren't any marks on it from a previous order before your start. We got an extra roll that we hadn't planned. Delicious none the less.
