    2 yummy poke bowls, all fresh ingredients and made to order
    Diane W.

    Back from an eight week vacation, and came here for lunch. Another excellent meal consisting of a Parrish roll, and my husband and I shared a poke bowl ( time crunch). We had salmon, edamame, seaweed salad, pineapple and cilantro ; scallions and sesame seeds to top it. Of course a taro smoothie and iced jasmine green tea. Nice to meet the other owner, Danny. Consistently good food and service with the freshest of ingredients.

    Taro Boba Tea

    If you're a boba tea person, I got you!!! Trust me on this one. You can thank me later! I can't speak to the food, but it looked good though! Brief Summary: This small boba and poke bowl restaurant recently opened up, and it has quickly become my go to boba tea place! If you like boba that is a bit spicy (The tea, not hot like a pepper) then look no further! This might just be the place for you! Would I Recommend This Restaurant? Yes The Food: This section should prooooobably be renamed "The Drink" because I've never had the food, but I can speak to the boba tea. I'm a huge fan of the standard brown sugar boba tea. I usually get it extra sweet, and boy oh boy do those flavors pack a punch! The tea is spicy. Not spicy as in hot, but as in the tea itself is very flavorful. Something I find lacking in a lot of boba tea places. A lot of boba tea these days have a very bland tea as the base. This focuses the attention almost entirely on the flavor you get. That's fine and all if that's what you like, but to me, it makes the tea a bit one dimensional. What I love about this boba tea is that it has multiple complex flavors in it, and they all work so well together! I can genuinely say it is one of the best boba teas I've ever had in my life, and I don't use these terms lightly. The addition of a whip type of cream on top adds another element to the drink that compliments and elevates it to the next level. This is something I wish more boba places would do, because I think it makes a HUGE difference. Also, their straws are big enough to allow the boba balls to be sucked up with ease. Nothing on God's green earth annoys me more than when a straw for boba tea is too slim for the boba balls. I don't want to have to suck on it so hard that I......you know what. I'm not going to finish that statement, because I didn't see anyway of appropriately ending it! Lol. You get the point though. Overall, a very delicious drink. I haven't had the other flavors. I need to try them, but I'm too in love with the brown sugar boba to cheat on it lol. Definitely give it a shot though! Also, I haven't tried the sushi or poke bowls, but it looks delicious and the prices feel very reasonable! Value: Given that this is my most favorite boba in the SRQ area, I'd pay probably anything to get it lol. BUT, objectively speaking, the value for the money feels fair and on par to me. The value for the sushi and poke bowls also appears very fair! Service and Staff: The staff here were nice and friendly. I even got to speak with the owner WHO is right there behind the counter working as well. Very nice hard working guy. I love seeing owners that are very involved like that. A hard working guy making his dream come to life! Location and Interior: The location is in a plaza next to several other businesses. Pretty easy to get to and a decent amount of parking. Neighborhood is very safe, and the plaza is brand new. The restaurant is always very clean and tidy, which is something you always want from a restaurant. Final Thoughts: A beautiful family owned boba, poke, and sushi place. Absolutely worth giving a shot! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Cheers! P.S. Please help support local small businesses like this one! Final Scores: Food -10/10 Value - 5/5 Service/Staff - 5/5 Location/Interior 5/5 Total 25/25 = 5/5 Stars Stay fresh Mother Fooders! :p

    Barbecue meat is perfectly seasoned, good mix of fat, not dry at all. Service was great, restaurant was nice and new.

    Very expensive for a bowl full of mostly rice and very little protein, I was blown away by how little tuna was in my bowl. Never going back

Orders messed up multiple times None of the plates brought out to table landed at the right person. Draft beer ordered came out in bottles. Soda - a few orders - came out flat. Food was marginal: None of the first batch of fries came out warm. 6 plates. The replacement fries sent out later were fried to desiccation. Smash burgers were good. Philly pork sandwich was on point too. Mussels tasted like ammonia. But we were advised by the.sharp talking manager they were "fresh" (not old as I, a 40 year fisherman suggested). She gleamed when she stated she took them off the bill. (? Ok. Thanks?) And said she'd talk to her supplier. Sorry folks. If you have the food in your custody it's on you if you if you choose to serve food that's spoiled. Not recommended. As locals we try to keep in palmetto. But these guys all seemed more interested in getting us out so they could go home. Changed from an angry * to ** as my lovely wife reminded me the burgers were good. And the $7 beers in bottle - not flat.

The only thing was that all the food was old, there was no bread available and most of the choices were no longer being replenished. But we still paid the same as everyone else. I do not have a problem with the lack of options and the older food at the end of the buffet but i believe if I will not get the same quality as the earlier people and the options they should lower the price for the scraps squad. I don't think this is a place I would recommend

Hubby got his usual drink, and I got my coconut Mojito, but this time in a fancy tiki glass. Learned that they're only served indoors, as we have only eaten at the bar or outside by the beach. Got our standard ahi tuna poke nachos, Yum, and a dozen chargrilled oysters, Yum Yum! Hubby and I shared Joe fish tacos, grilled, and they were delicious as always The change in tonight's meal with Jenna "parading" ( ok, not exactly true...) through the restaurant with HUGE brownie sundae s--3 if I recall correctly. Now, I am not a big chocolate fan at all, in fact, I avoid chocolate, yuck, and hubby has to watch his sugar, but when she told me about bananas foster bread pudding-- well, you can see where this is headed! We have never had room for dessert before, and tonight was no exception, but I was enticed by Jenna, and then Kayleen , so...OMG! Absolutely delicious! A bit sweet, but we finished the ice cream and the bananas and a little bit more than that, and got the rest to go. So glad that this is literally about a mile and a half down the road from us, so maybe next time. ;) Also, love the cute merch: jewelry, stickers, T-shirts, caps, stuffed animals, lotion, etc., etc.

It's a large place with a lot of outdoor space including a large outdoor bar as well. Since we wanted to enjoy the view, we decided to sit outside on the deck. Since it was early, we were the only ones outside. The music was really loud; so loud we had to shout, so we asked if it could be turned down. The manager agreed and it was turned down. A little. We still had to shout a bit to talk with each other, so we asked again, but they wouldn't turn it down any more. So, not very nice for us, the only customers on the deck. Our waitress was hustling, perhaps she had too many tables assigned to her. I had the Jambalaya, which was OK, not great. It seems like the ingredients were cheap. Don't think we'll be back.
