The Vietnamese crepe was huge and lots of fun. Love the generous helping of the herbs and sprouts given along with the yummy delicious dip with carrot shreds in it. Overall had a wonderful experience. Portion sizes were great. We had leftovers for our next day meal as well. Overall great experience.

They tried to rush and hurry me out when there were no other customers, and hovering over me while I was signing after paying to see how much I'd tip, then got annoyed when I didn't tip because it was horrible. It didn't taste good either.

My friends and I were looking for something fun to do last weekend and decided to look for a…read morekaraoke place. We found this one through Yelp, but couldn't find information on prices, times, reservations, or anything. We called the number we found online, but no one answered. We called multiple times, but ended up with no information, so we decided to go and talk to them in person. When we got there, we found about 4 college aged students who did not speak much English at all. When we asked the cost, they said it was $15 per hour. We decided to go ahead, because that isn't bad at all. They had us sit in the waiting room for about five minutes, to clean the room (although there were zero costumers anywhere so I don't know why they hadn't done that before, instead of standing around and talking like we had seen them doing as we walked in.) We were then lead to our room and began singing. That part was pretty fun, and the music selection was decent, with many fairly current songs available. When we were leaving, however, we were informed that it was actually $15/person/hour rather than the $15/room/hour like we had been told. As we stood there in disbelief, the girl ringing us up said she would charge us $40 in total (there were four of us), which was a nice gesture, but still a lot more than we had been expecting. It wasn't the girl's fault, as she wasn't fluent in English, but it should've been written somewhere or explained to us better. We then shelled out the $40 and left, knowing we would never go back. All in all, the place was dirty, smelled bad, poorly lit, had poor service, and was way too over priced. Go at your own risk.

I bought one of their teas with rainbow jelly and strawberry boba. It ended up costing around $9…read morebecause the add ons totaled $1.50. The guy making my drink gave me half a scoop of each add on and he made my drink without gloves and was handling the fruit that he put in my drink with his bare fingers after I saw him handle cash. On top of the unsanitary food preparation, he stopped halfway through making my drink to go greet someone at the door. To make one drink I was in there for about 10 minutes because he talked to the person for a few minutes completely disregarding me. The tea itself ended up not being very good and I cant bring myself to drink it due to the fact he put his fingers in it. The picture I have added shows how few add ons he put in, mind you they ended up costing $1.50. This was a complete waste of $9

It was so rich and creamy, a heavenly blend of ube and caramelized goodness with perfectly tender boba pearls that have me yearning for more. We got it at 50% sugar and it was still very sweet so next time I would probably go for 25% sugar even. They also have shave ice and mochi donuts and they had neither of those when I was there because it was pretty late but you bet I'm going to be back soon to partake of this deliciousness as well! I love the decor, lots of green and cozy and clean and bright. So perfect! Service was fast and friendly! They also have ordering kiosks that let you get exactly what you want without having to talk to anyone.
