There aren't a lot of boba places east of Cincinnati. Or at least in Batavia (zero actually). So…read moreluckily I found Boba house within the mint bistro restaurant. We came here after dinner and I just wanted matcha milk tea with boba and I have to say that their boba quality is the best boba quality so far I've had here in Cincinnati. It had such a good texture, a good chew, and it was actually flavorful. The milk tea itself was good but I think it was most likely a pre-powdered mix like I've seen at other places. I'm used to the from scratch type in Southern California. Anywho I'm very happy that this is a 10 minute drive for me versus a 30 minute drive so I'll be coming back here again for the Boba.

I was sad I already had grabbed dinner because Mint Bistro looked and smelled amazing. The fact that I could also have high quality boba with my meal is always a plus. They were busy but they still let me order boba from the host desk, and had it ready super fast for me. The cups are so cute too! rounded bottoms make them more aesthetically pleasing than your average boba cup. Both the tea and boba were clearly of great quality and I can't wait to go back and actually try the food. I'll add a recipe for the bistro when i do!

It's like some sort of shaved ice thing with all these different toppings. Delicious! They also have the folded ice cream which is more fun to watch them make it versus actually eating it. Don't get me wrong a taste just fine but it's really cool to watch them make it. Service is always good although it takes them a while to make some stuff so you might have to wait in line for a bit. Ambience is all right for the most part. But we come back quite a bit!

The service was good , the worker was nice enough and she made the drinks as well as working as a cashier so you got to appreciate that. I like how their menu has options like create your own tea with tons of different syrup and popping bubble options - it's also not too expensive. Their menu is not for the milk tea lover tho or the authentic bubble tea lover but if you love the fruit tea then this place is a gem! I got the earl grey black tea with pineapple and dragon fruit syrup and passion fruit popping bubbles - it was delicious not overly sweet and I liked how I could taste the notes of the black tea. I will be back and they have monthly rotating drinks.

This was the worst way to be giving out a flight to go... they toppled over and half of it spilled out as this carrier is not meant for the cups you have. They didn't fit and moved around. Having no tops or covers didn't help. For the fact that it's all to go ordering, not sure how you expect me to carry this in a car without making a mess. It was a waste of money since it all spilled out. It was beautiful and from what was left and I could taste it was creamy and good, but not happy about paying $15 for this just to have it spill all over, not to mention make a mess in my car. I should have asked for a refund right there but the girl was so nice and apologized that this was all they had and no lids saying I'm sorry know it's not ideal.

I am going to be kind as much as possible only because I know that Cincinnati does not have fair establishments to compare. Anywho my second day relocating to Cincinnati I was craving for some boba and I had boba time bookmarked. Very small and quaint independent boba shop in downtown Milford. I can tell that the owner is from Thailand so I was hoping it'd be pretty good. I ordered their matcha milk tea with medium sugar and I would have to say it tasted okay. The matcha flavor wasn't as strong and the boba itself tasted very bland and the texture could happen better. Overall this part is okay.

Also, I noticed that they had a vast selection of seafood, wine, beer, and even cigars. Every aisle is listed and kept clean, and if you're looking for something particular, ask a staff member for assistance. They're friendly and willing to assist customers. If you're in the area and have never even stopped by to look, it is worth your time.

The whole concept is incredibly efficient; you place and pay for your order at a kiosk, watch your food being prepared right in front of you, grab it when it's ready, and clear your own dishes when you're done. The system runs smoothly and keeps everything moving fast without feeling rushed. Our food came out in under 10 minutes and was hot and delicious. We ordered the Curry Bomb Tonkotsu along with soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings. Everything was fresh, and packed with flavor. We like a little extra heat, so we added chili oil to the soup and it took it to the perfect spice level for us. Quick service, great quality, and a fun, modern dining experience. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. It's also the perfect stop before heading over to explore Jungle Jim's International Market next door. Easy 10/10.

A word of caution on the spice: if you enjoy heat, I recommend a level 2 or 3.
