Sorry, fellas. This sushi is extremely average at best. If it was an off-night, that's unfortunate…read more And I feel bad about that, because the interior was welcoming, and our server was very friendly and efficient. Had to get the sushi "yacht" for two. But the nigiri was kind of weird. The rice tasted warm. Not like, perfect temperature from the hands of the itamae, but weird tepid lukewarm sitting around rice. The sashimi didn't seem so fresh to me, and sushi grade quality was questionable. The roll also seemed to be at an odd temperature. Overall I was rather disappointed. The best part for me was the sake. But my date (outside of her comfort zone) did seem to like it overall. I don't want to be negative, but this is definitely a "won't visit again" for me.

This is a great sushi spot in Brunswick with an abundance of options for vegetarians!…read more We stopped in here for dinner before a show nearby. My wife and I shared three maki: vegetable tempura, inari (sweet marinated tofu), and avocado dream. We would love to return to try some of their many other vegetarian options. The vegetable tempura roll, which contained broccoli, green bean, sweet potato, onion tempura, and sweet brown glaze, was probably my favorite. This roll was huge, so open wide! The avocado dream was a close second, with sweet potato, avocado, and cream cheese. It's tempura fried with a truffle mayo on top, which gave it a really unique flavor! Though not as fancy as the two specialty maki, the inari maki was delicious too. The service was prompt and the kitchen was efficient, so we had plenty of time to get to our next destination without worrying. I'd love to return if I'm ever back in Brunswick!

It's definitely my kind of vibe. The staff were attentive and not put out when I first came in and were incredibly helpful with giving me suggestions (because everything sounded so good). I ended up leaving my first visit with The Abyss bubble tea and meandered my way back to Merrill. Today, I decided to treat my son to an evening out in Portland, and we swung into Uncharted for a quick tea. He got a small regular brown sugar milk tea and I got a large Kraken. I'm just as smitten with the vibe and the space now as I was back in December, & know that whenever I'm in town I'll be coming in to get a tasty drink to walk around town with.

Honeyboba is SO FREAKING GOOD. Definitely in my top 3 of places we visit most often. Why? The…read moreselection is outrageous - probably 10 menu boards of different drink options, anything from pimped-out lemonades to crazy matcha drinks, iced coffee and Thai milk teas, not to mention the plethora of real fruit teas, smoothies, and other delights. Plenty of toppings, like popping boba, jelly, and egg pudding. The ingredients they use are actually quality items - fresh fruit, thai brewed tea, real avocado, etc. It's hard enough to find a boba spot with all of that goodness, but what sends HoneyBoba over the top is the snacks! There's a hot case that is almost always stocked with tasty goodies like custard buns, dumplings, and spring rolls. There are freshly baked treats like loaded cookies and fun takes on rice krispie treats. And something we never tried but looks so good is their bubble waffles - yum! The drink menu usually stays the same (or expands!), but the snacks will rotate, depending on what the owner dreams up and churns out. It's worth it to follow them on Instagram for a preview of what is currently available. Parking is weird but you can usually score a spot either on the street right in front of the shop or in the little parking lot right behind the building. Stop in and give it a try! It's your new favorite boba spot!

The owner and staff are so kind and make you feel like you actually matter, not just another customer. There are games for both kids and adults, plus the cutest photo spot that makes you want to stay and enjoy the moment. This isn't just a quick boba stop -- it's an experience.

There were some spots to sit in at the store too. We ordered a thai tea, milk tea and mango slush. They had the first two in shaken style meaning small bits of ice. The barista took some time to make the drinks, seemed not so proficient in making them. But the drinks turned out okay. The that tea had good flavor. Mango slush was tasty initially but got really watery at the end. Bobas were fine, not as good quality as I had in other places. Overall a decent place since its the only bobas store we saw in the area.

The service was super friendly and accommodating for folks that might not understand everything so quick. She was able to recommend some delicious boba tea options for my better half and she loved it. The sushi was well portioned and fresh and delicious and the wings that we ordered were fresh yet they took a really long time to cook as we ordered it as an app but the sushi came out first. The bathrooms were clean and immaculate and decor was great with plenty of outside seating if that is your cup of tea. It was pretty busy but you would never know because they staffed well and were on top of everything including the CRAZY amount of take out being ordered. We will definitely be back the next time we are partaking in the struggling Freeport.
