Chose the coconut milk, and was very happy to learn that anything, including Thai tea, can be made non-dairy. This is rather rare as the mix usually contains condensed milk or sodium caseinate already. It was excellent. Full, rich flavor and just the right sweetness level. I got it at 75% sweetness. I don't live here but would visit R&B again.

The food and drinks are good, but first of all this is a review for the ambiance…read more I'm so appreciative to this place for hosting the Toledo Go Club for our Weekly Sunday meetings. It's a great spot for the club. Comfortable, quiet, and spacious tables to play at. The bubble teas are very good with many creative and seasonal optiosn and lots of customization you can do. The one time I got a poke bowl it was also extremely good and a huge portion. I got it with almost all the mix-ins. There were SO MANY mix-ins. It's not really Hawaiian style poke, which tends to be just fish with few other ingredients. But it's perhaps more delicious for being less authentic -- the poke in Hawaii hasn't appealed to me much, I don't usually crave like just a big pile of raw fish.

4.5 Ingredients are…read morealways fresh, although they've run out of a few items. I don't want to hold it against them if the price of keeping fresh ingredients is sometimes running out of chopped green onions every so often. I tend to go during odd hours to eat so I'm usually not in a lunch or a dinner mix. For this reason, the place isn't crazy busy, leading to nice undivided attention. I do see it possibly becoming an issue if it was to get super busy. Each bowl is made-to-order, which means every customer gets full attention from ordering to check out. Maybe it's because the business hasn't picked up enough to warrant having a full assembly line like your Subways and Chipotles of the world. We'll have to see. As I was saying, ingredients are fresh, which is half of the battle for poke bowls. Sauce and side choices are very good, and best of all, your dollar goes a long way. I can easily fill myself up with relatively healthy bowl of poke for around ten bucks, and you get free miso soup!! Considering any fast food meals will cost a good fifteen bucks these days, I'm happy I can opt for a healthy choice for less.

When I DoorDash or pick up to go, it's not the same. I had some great bubble tea out of the shop, and some brussels sprouts that were damn near transcendental. I love when I can get Asian fusion tacos. It's two of my favorite things altogether Asian flavors and delicious tacos. The service is fast! I think that comes from the kiosks.

From the menu I chose to built my own bowl which I enjoyed the most because of all of the flavors and veggies. However a word of warning the sauces can be spicy so I am glad they also added the yogurt base sauce! I also liked the milk tea and finally the nachos which were very different in taste and texture but surprisingly good. My order looked as following: 1× Build Your Bowl + Protein: Wok-Fired Steak (Bowl) + Starch: Fresh Greens (Bowl) + Vegetables & Garnish: Red Cabbage Kimchi Pickles Carrots (Steamed) Kale (Steamed) Crushed Peanuts 1× Purple Taro + Sweetener Options: Light Honey + Dairy Option: Dairy Milk + Garnish: No Garnish + Bubbles: Tapioca Bubbles + Tea Base (Milk Teas): Green Tea (Milk Tea) 1× Bang Bang Nachos + Vegetables & Garnish: Balance Farms Micro Cilantro Red Onion Tomato Chickpeas Seasonal Potatoes All in all I would recommend Balance and eat here again!

Tasted super fresh despite delivery service. I ordered the panko chicken curry as well. The first time, I ordered Med spicy, then the second time was extra spicy and it was perfect. I broke a sweat. The panko chicken was crunchy and crispy. I ordered the brown rice w it which I only took a few bites of trying to eat it low carb, but the brown rice was good too. There is plenty of parking in the back and you have to walk around to the front for the entrance. Owner looked Japanese and they look like they know what they're doing. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Its clean, friendly, and the service is great. I have to take a star away because the miso ramen recipe must have changed. My man used to come here every week just for this. Since their last reincarnation, my sweetie says its not the same. Not horrible but but not good so he refuses to eat here anymore. Now me, I like the addition of the spicy korean fried chicken. So yummy and even the next day its still so tender I can cut it with a fork. Get rice n veggies or fries with it for $10. Cant beat it. I just hate ordering from 2 different places for dinner but I still get it for lunch. Still worth checking out

Then the food hits, and you realize: oh, this is a destination. The space is tiny--tiny. Every time the front door swings open, a blast of outside air rushes in like it's trying to join the waitlist. Seating is scarce, but the whole system works: packed room, fast service, no panic. A strange harmony. Everything feels made with intention. Drinks were built one ingredient at a time, syrups clearly homemade. My black garlic ramen was absurdly good: deep, rich broth, perfect pork chashu that I'd happily eat by the pound, fried garlic that hit just right. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken? Unreal. A whole meal disguised as an appetizer. My wife doesn't like dark meat--fantastic news for me. I inhaled the entire plate like it was my birthright. Service was warm, calm, human--no chaos, no weirdness, just a kitchen pushing out nonstop greatness. We'll be back, no question. For my taste buds, this is some of the best ramen in Northwest Ohio. So, so good.

Many of our families had not yet had any of the new "hotspots" It just happened to end up being a very Asian heavy weekend. (Koi/Top Pot) Top pot was great. The menu is enormous and the food and sauce combos are endless. We came in eight deep, my only complaint is not having enough large tables. If one person gets hot pot, everyone has to get hot pot. If you are going to make everyone at the table pay for hot pot, I think it's only fair to have enough hot plates for everyone at that table. I didn't even want hot pot, I just wanted the Korean barbecue portion, but I still had to pay the increased price. I get the concept, but if you are sitting at a table with six burners and there are eight people, it's a little ridiculous to make all eight of us pay for hot pot if we opt not to order broth and there's not even away for us to make a hot pot. We ordered a lot of food! There were a ton of appetizers, hot pots, and multiple rounds of ordering meats and vegetables. The staff stayed on top of it, we had our drinks refilled regularly, and we never had an empty plate. Prior to leaving, we all ordered bubble tea. This was not my first time here, but this was my first time coming with a group so large. In this instance, I didn't mind because the service truly was exceptional, but watch out for the gratuity that is added by the restaurant. Because it was a large table, they added automatic gratuity at 18 or 20% I can't remember which to be honest. I went to the podium and ordered my bubble tea to go and paid my bill. Without even thinking, I hit 20%, as I always do unless the service is terrible... Don't get me started on why we need to aggressively tip wait staff) As I was walking out, I looked down and realized I paid $62 for lunch! No alcoholic drinks, did not have a soft drink with my meal. Just korean bbq and a water plus my six dollar bubble tea to go. I figured someone else else's drinks or another person's check got added to mine. Nope! That's when I saw they had already added the automatic gratuity. So in addition to the automatically added gratuity, I paid 20% above that. Again, the weight staff were exceptional and we came in with eight people at 11:30 in the morning the minute the doors opened on a Sunday. I just want other people to be aware, not everybody has as much of a discretionary budget as I am unfortunate to have. When I checked into other people in my party suffered the same mistake. All I can say, is that waiter probably made a solid. $150 off us in tips. Good for him though!

A good hangout spot if you want somewhere to play & chill with friends or a date! The signature milk tea has a really nice tea flavor that comes thru beautifully. Most places end up tasting like watery milk, but not here! The tea is delicious, the black boba is perfectly cooked, soft and chewy with nice light sweetness. I don't like sweet drinks, so I always order mine 25-30% sweet and that was perfect here! You can adjust the ice and sugar levels to taste, more than just the regular or light options offered most other places. We also got the strawberry slush with golden boba at full sweetness, and it was delicious too. Very nice strong real strawberry flavor, super refreshing & perfect for summer. The golden boba wasn't a crowd favourite, so next time we'd try the mango popping boba! Staff was helpful & friendly, offered great suggestions and made our drinks quickly. We will definitely be back!
