It shares a space as you walk in with a Boba place Mia and More. The servers were quick to take our name and seat us within 10 Mn. Simple menu with everything you would want. My only gripe as a vegetarian that there were limited options. But I asked them to take out fish sauce from my mock duck salad and they quickly understood and asked if I wanted a soy sauce instead. The salad was fresh, and mock duck sautéed well. We also had the Bun Bo Hue, which was told to me as better than the places on Eat Street such as Quang. So good was very good and service was fast. They have a large private parking lot. And longer tables for bigger parties of people. No Apple Pay to tap.

The decor was nice, the restaurant was clean, and you could tell the staff took pride in helping customers and keeping the tables cleared and ready. Service was solid the whole time.

We don't live close, but this is definitely a place we'll make the drive back to.

The sesame sauce wasn't just your ordinary sauce out of a bottle, it tasted homemade with nice hints of ginger and garlic. The chicken was quality and tasted like it was freshly breaded. The wontons and egg rolls also tasted homemade and unique. The fried rice was perfectly cooked. Great experience. It can be difficult to find an Asian place that makes unique food and this place does exactly that. Impressive and very tasty. I highly recommend this place. One issue with this place is that it's hard to find on Google (searching the typical "Chinese food") and I don't think anyone in the area knows about it because they're never busy. I pray this place gets more business, they deserve it.

The service was great, but the flavors for me- I just wasn't a fan. Prices are a tad high.

If you like to slurp decadent, milky tea concoctions with gushy pearls up a thick straw, this place has you covered. As I was trying to choose from their plentiful offerings, a guy was on his way out with an armload of what I learned were the Soha's Tiger Milky which he knowingly and passionately recommended to me. I went with it and was not in the slightest bit disappointed. That's exactly the kind of dessert drink I was hoping for, and the size of it for that price makes it a great deal. I also got a cream cheese danish which had a really satisfactory amount of cream cheese. But there are tons of other things on this menu I want to try. They make their own Dubai chocolate and baklava, and they do açaí bowls, Vietnamese coffee, matcha, and a variety of smoothies and lemonades. Everything is priced much more reasonably than what I see in the cities. The dining area is clean, tidy, uncrowded, and pleasantly decorated for a strip mall space, and the barista was really friendly and helpful. They are available on Uber Eats and Doordash so you can order ahead or send out for them. They are open every day until at least 6pm (7pm on Saturday and Sunday). Tons of reasons for you to try some of their stuff!

She couldn't wait to take her tante (me) and Grammy (my mom) to her fave boba tea place when we were visiting the Twin Cities...and we're so glad she did.

There's a huge menu and I was super intrigued with the milk tea options and the matcha, but my niece wanted us all to get slushies-so, of course, I did. I settled on the strawberry kiwi which was good, but sweet. Mom got the watermelon and it was really, really good. There's ample parking. The servers are nice.

This place is nestled in a large rather plain and casual room in what appears to be a strip mall. However, don't let this unassuming appearance trick you, the food is excellent. I come here pretty much exclusively for pho as I assume that's their specialty and it's so good, I can't get myself to try anything else. It's super reasonably priced, the pho is always delicious, it is served to you almost instantly, and generally there is no wait. I have even come with large parties and they make it work immediately. I mean how can you beat that?
