The pork was very off and the chicken was hard with strange texture just like you would experience with cheap meat scraps. The peanut sauce was yucky, the shrimp in the spring rolls were not fresh, the chili oil was old, the green curry was watery flavorless and the place was overall unclean. I told them the pork was nasty and they did not offer a refund. I will not be back.

Okay, I gotta say..LaBoba is the best boba I've found in Lacey so far!…read moreI've been on the hunt for a yummy boba spot ever since moving to Washington a little over a month ago, and I can confidently say this is the best one I've tried in Lacey so far. Even better, it's only about a 15 minute drive from home for me, so I already know I'll be coming back regularly! The shop was starting to get busy when I first arrived with my kiddo, and by the time we settled down in the back with our orders brought to us, all the tables had filled up. Despite the busyness, the atmosphere still felt relaxed and welcoming, giving off vibes that encourages you to actually sit and enjoy your drink without feeling rushed, if you decide to stay. They even have board games available if you want to hang out a bit longer. The service here is spectacular!! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell because they take their time with you (no pressure when ordering) and are more than happy to answer questions. I ordered the crème brûlée milk tea, which already comes with boba and crème brûlée foam, but I was curious about the ube foam too. The staff member walked me through all my options and helped me land on a half crème brûlée, half ube foam combo, which ended up being so creamy and delicious. I appreciate them being so patient with me because I can be a little indecisive with what I want lol. My son ordered the Thai tea with boba and tried the ube foam for the first time. He felt like the foam was a bit overpowering for his drink (all you could see was ube foam after he mixed his drink instead of the standard orange Thai tea), but honestly, I loved how generous they were with it for our drinks. If you're an ube fan, you won't be disappointed! We also shared a crème brûlée croiffle, and wowwee, that was a treat that totally hit the spot for my sweet tooth. The sauce was rich, sweet, and creamy, making it the perfect dessert to go along with our drinks. Once again, the staff did not disappoint and I was pleased how attentive they remained throughout our visit. They even promptly cleared our trash and plates without us having to ask, which just reiterates how on top of their customer service they are. First visit was such a great experience! Delicious drinks, amazing service, and a cozy vibe. I am totally returning and I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quality boba place in the area!

I only lived here for barely a year, but the boba was so squishy and sweet! I got a mix of chocolate Nutella strawberry and omg...the drink was soooo good. Still think about it 'til this day! I hate that there are no outlets here, so could not do my work :/ lots of booths, yes, but the other half of the table are chairs. easy parking and a bit of dim lighting. it seemed off-white of a shade, which I no like as much because it makes everything look bland

Food Funny, how Yelp kept on harping about this place, and…read morekept popping up in my profile. We went there with the presumption that it was very good. Sadly, both strawberry and macha slush did not have flavor, it was very faint. Service The staff were not welcoming or professional didn't say thank you, or here is your order. I understand having a bad day, but being in a customer service environment, you must fake it to make it, sometimes. Ambiance Clean and noise level was at a minimum. I don't recommend this place not so much of the service, but the slushes were horrible. I don't understand how this place has close to 5 star.

This time we got the yellow curry chicken, chicken satay with peanut sauce, and chicken Pad Thai. Everything was really good, and the portions and prices make it an easy choice when we want something tasty without spending a fortune. We've eaten inside a few times too, and the service has always been friendly and fast. The atmosphere is a little different because they have a donut shop and some other drinks and things going on in the same space, but honestly, it just makes it unique. Even with everything happening in there, the service is always quick, friendly, and with a smile. We've taken the food home several times and it has never disappointed. If you're in Yelm and looking for a reliable, affordable takeout option, Red Lantern is definitely one to try! We'll be back!

Cute Fusion Asian place that tucked in the end or beginning of the plaza strip. Plenty of parking,…read morevery modern, contemporary decor inside with warm vibe. They do have mochi donuts here too. The place is clean, spacious and well layout. The menu is nice and plenty of Asian dishes, from Thai to Singapore to Vietnam to Chinese and so forth. Service is nice and attentive. Dishes came out quite fast. I am abit bias here since I'm Asian and I live in SoCal where all the Asian lives. So with that say, my dish is Vnese and nothing came close (yes I kept in mind of the fusion part) from taste to presentation l. Given that this is Yelm, therefore not much of expectation but they do have most of the dish's elements. And this apply to all dishes. It's not bad at all, my friend likes it a lot and this is her favorite place with her favorite dish of Singapore noodles...which I don't recalled that the noodle is that wet. The favor is there but it's wet, too wet in my POV. The mochi is nice and soft and chewy like and flavorful. Overall not bad, very water-fusion for my taste. Good service and nice place for sure.

They just put a new Photo Booth in the store, which is $9 for like 2 strips, I think? Did not try it, but super duper neat to see that is also available with board games to play if you plan to spend more time here. Service quick and clean over here. Staff putting down, for sure

I'm rating Boba and Beyond based on my overall experience and, of course, the taste of the boba…read more I recently moved to the area from California, so I'll admit my boba expectations might be a little high. This place had great reviews, so I was excited to try it. Overall, I'd say it reminds me of T4 -- it's just okay. When I walked in, there was no one inside and only one staff member working. It wasn't busy at first, but a line quickly started forming. With just one employee making drinks, it didn't seem ideal for handling multiple customers, so you may end up waiting a bit during busier moments. I ordered the matcha taro cloud with boba -- two flavors I really love together. The milk tea itself was actually pretty good. It wasn't watery and had a nice consistency. However, the employee forgot to add boba to both my drink and the customer after me. I had already walked out and taken a few sips before realizing it was missing, so I had to go back in to get it added. She was apologetic and I appreciate that she promptly fixed it. The boba itself ended up a little underwhelming. I might just be used to the soft, honey boba from Bober Tea, but this one tasted firmer than I prefer. I personally like my boba softer. I do wish the quality of the boba was better and that my order had been accurate from the start. Still, it seems like a nice, simple spot for basic boba -- and it's conveniently located right next to Safeway, so it's easy to grab a drink before or after doing your grocery shopping. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd probably manage my expectations next time.
