Definitely good for "fast food"! I typically get the poke bowls, but this was my first time trying their ramen. The food was served quickly, and it was during lunch time. A perk was having a booster seat, which a lot of "fast food" places don't have. I always get less sweetener for my tea, and the Peach Berry Flavor is 10/10! There are also tablets that you can order on, but using the tablet with a toddler isn't the easiest. It was a nice, cozy, quick lunch date!

Stopped by Tea Lux Cafe for a lil boba break and boyyy... this place is a must-sip spot…read more I ordered the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with boba and physically said "mmm" out loud like I was in a food commercial. Easily one of the best brown sugar flavors I've ever had. Rich. Creamy. Life-changing. Because I make reckless (and delicious) decisions, I also tried the New Blueberry Matcha Latte -- kinda like if blueberry pie and matcha had a sweet little baby. A bit sweet for me, maybe because I didn't give it a full mix... or maybe because I needed to add boba. Either way, still vibed with it. Grabbed some food to-go but peeped the vibe inside -- super cute, perfect for laptop warriors and remote work fam. Ordering at the kiosk was easy, and staff were super helpful if you had questions or just looked confused (me, always). Food-wise I picked from staff's favorites: Spicy Bulgogi Banh Mi (with egg) -- Solid crunch. Flavor was decent, but could've used more bulgogi. Will definitely go extra spicy next time. Fried Buttered Corn -- crunchy, buttery, and served with sausage. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Fun to try, but next time I'd probably go for the popcorn chicken instead. Final verdict: Come for the drinks -- I'll be sprinting back to try the whole menu. ‍ Food was decent -- a quick, easy spot for a light bite while you sip something fun.

There was a game table in the middle for people to play board games. I was looking for an authentic Vietnamese place with some good street food but this was not it. First, all of the food was pretty expensive, especially with the banh mi being so small. Second, it took a really long time for them to make the food. Bánh mì đặc biệt 3/10 The bread was a regular baguette and was not made of the typical banh mi bread. There was no flavor and was quite bland. The sandwich was also extremely small and over priced at almost $8 Bot chiến 7/10 This was pretty good and had all of the components one would expect. The only downside was there wasn't much papaya and it was expensive at $10 Boba 7/10 This was a little too sweet and a bit over priced at $7 for a large Overall, the place did not deliver and was very Americanized.

This dessert cafe has an amazing selection of handmade cakes that are baked fresh in their kitchen daily. I tried a slice of the Nutella cake, Reese's cake, and Oreo cake, and each one was perfectly spongy, moist, and not overly sweet. My favorite was the Nutella cake. The other flavors were just okay. The service was also excellent; everyone was friendly and welcoming. I couldn't decide which cake I wanted and they encouraged me to get all three lol. Besides the cakes, they have a nice variety of treats like macarons, bubble teas, frozen shakes, and Blue Bell ice cream, so there's something for everyone. If you love dessert, definitely check this place out!

I really…read morewanted to support a local business for my birthday this year, but I wanted to get a cake under $30, especially because I only celebrated with my family. After some online searching, I found out Yo Mama has cakes! I've enjoyed ice cream cakes in the past, and I've enjoyed Yo Mama's frozen yogurt in the past, so I decided to give it a try! At the time of writing (3/2024), their frozen yogurt cakes are $25, and it came out to $27.88 with tax. You can pick two flavors to be layers on the cake. The flavor options they had available were taro, cake batter, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, mango, pineapple, and strawberry. They also told me I could pick either brownie pieces or pound cake for the middle of the cake and pirouline crumbs, sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, and mochi for the top of the cake. I opted for a mango and taro cake (I love both of those flavors), and told them they can choose what they think is best for the rest of the cake. Looking back, I kinda wish I requested for taro for the top layer because I love the color purple, but it's all good! It was absolutely delicious, and my family very much enjoyed it as well! Already thinking about getting a cake here again :)

I went for the classic milk tea with boba -- creamy, balanced, and refreshing without being cloyingly sweet. What stood out here is the setup: the clean, organized counter and the option to order through the self-service kiosk makes the whole process seamless. Even on a busy afternoon, the line moved quickly and my drink was ready in minutes. The staff kept things moving while still being friendly, and the space itself feels bright and uncluttered, a nice break from some of the more chaotic tea shops around. At just over $10, it's pricier than your corner boba spot, but Gong Cha delivers on consistency and quality -- plus I lucked out with a surprise freebie today (always a mood booster). Whether you're a seasoned boba fan or just need a dependable milk tea fix, this location hits the mark. Solid drinks, efficient service, and no stress. That's worth five stars.

I hope the store takes this seriously and improves the staff's work attitude.

Felt bad, but we made sure to put in our order, eat without making a mess, and leave. They have a sneeze guarded area where you can see all the options for the poke bowls, but you have to order everything at the kiosks. Make sure to scroll all the way down on your selections to see all the options/toppings. FOOD: ~Poke Bowls: I got the 2 protein option and my husband got the 3 protein option with rice. The salmon and tuna was solid (they were cubed), and the spicy tuna was the chopped and dressed type. The flavor and texture of the spicy tuna was good. ~Toppings: they have a bunch of different options for toppings where you can choose as many as you want, with only a few of them having a surcharge. ~~the ones we got were cucumber, edamame, green onion, ginger, crab salad (shredded kani), seaweed salad, garlic crisp, roasted seaweed, and fried onions. Everything was good ~Sauce (you can choose up to 2): got the standard sriracha mayo which was tasty ~Shrimp Shumai (3.5/5): standard - note they were deep fried ~Shrimp Tempura (4/5): solid - very crispy and good sized shrimp ~Thai Tea (3.8/5) with boba (2/5): thai tea had good flavor and just creamy enough. The boba was not good though. Overall, this place was good and better than I expected.

They have less options than some other boba places, but i was able to find something i would drink . I got the chocolate slushie. I wanted oreo but this was the closest option. It was creamy and satisfying. I do wish it was a bigger size drink option. They don't sell any type of food or appetizers. Its a cute little shop with plenty of seating and games to play at each table. It was clean inside with a chill vibe. The owner was very sweet and easy to talk to. There was no one there when i went. So it was pretty quite inside... I will return to try other things on the menu. Check them out!!!!

I've been to Pokey plenty of times at this point, and I just went again this time with my man who…read moreis super picky and even he agreed the wings were really good. We got the sweet chili Thai wings and the soy garlic wings. Both were delicious. He said they tasted the same, but I don't fully agree they're both on the sweeter side, but you can still tell the difference in flavor. Either way, both are really good and I'd get them again. He also got the taro boba. He liked it, but I personally am not a fan of their taro boba. It has this powdery taste to me that I don't get from other places, so I usually skip the drinks there. There was a bit of a mix-up with ordering. They have a value deal where you get 6 wings + a boba for about $9.95. I accidentally ordered just the wings for $8.95 thinking I'd be getting more wings for the price. That wasn't the case it was still just 6 wings. My man got the value deal and basically got the better deal with the drink included. I tried to see if I could just pay the dollar difference to add the boba after, but they said no since the order was already placed, so lesson learned: just get the combo. Even with that, the wings are still worth it. Also, the dumplings are really good the pork ones especially. I think I liked the beef ones a little more last time, but these were still solid. Overall, I'd definitely recommend sticking with the value combo and just going for the wings and dumplings. That's the best part of the menu for me.
