It was hard to know, we didn't know what any of it was. It was fine. The lavender flavor was pretty floral and the bobas were chewy. It was good but like $16 for two small drinks? It was fun to try as a novelty but I wouldn't go back for a regular everyday sort of refreshment. Hard to tell if it was a drink or a food; there is a lot of chewing of the beverage involved. (shrug) I guess I don't get it. 4 stars for a lovely interior, an extensive drink menu, and nice service.

Located in Burlington Food Hall, Tea-Rex NC is a milk tea/desserts shop. My girl & I went here…read moreafter ordering Filipino food from the Pork & Spoon restaurant located in the same food hall to order Halo Halo (Literally "Mix, Mix"), the signature Filipino dessert beverage with flan, ube ice cream, milk & other ingredients. The Halo Halo here cost $10+, the most expensive Halo Halo we ever purchased. For a mediocre blend, it's quite a joke to set this kind of dessert at that price. We would happily pay $10+ more if this Halo Halo was made extra special with more loaded ingredients or a taller serving, but there's nothing special in Tea-Rex's version. The Halo Halo was served to our table in front of the Pork & Spoon concession instead of us having to pick it up from the concession, so we appreciate Tea-Rex's customer service. Burlington Food Hall seemed to have a nice casual dining space to enjoy food but its layout of the shops is questionable. We had to go to the back area of the building to find Tea-Rex and the few other spots while Pork & Spoon is very visible in the front area of the hall. We haven't tried any of Tea-Rex's milk teas & other desserts but from what we've seen in its concession, the milk teas look quite generic. Pork & Spoon referred us to them when we asked if they offered Halo Halo, which I thought was a good teamwork between the two shops in Burlington Food Hall. Sadly, neither shops gave us a good reason to revisit this new food hall. I will publish my review of Pork & Spoon soon. As for Tea-Rex NC, their Halo Halo was just disappointing. We rather get the $8+ Halo Halo in the Oriental Store in Raleigh, but that's another story. | Overall Score: 2.0/5

I was on the way home from the Triangle, in need of lunch, and in possession of a banh mi craving,…read moreso geographic convenience more than anything led me to Kalm's door. Tucked inside a plaza shared with a Food Lion, it isn't much to look at inside or out. However, some of the best Vietnamese and Thai places are these too-easily ignored hole-in-the-wall joints, and Kalm proved to be no exception. In addition to a few banh mi options, Kalm's menu includes rice and noodle dishes, apps, boba tea, poke, and pho. There are several vegetarian selections as well as a kid's menu. If I didn't have a specific craving, I might have had a hard time choosing as several other dishes looked good. I went with a classic Banh Mi Dac Biet (roast pork, sausage, and veggies on a baguette). Kalm's preparation was different than I've had elsewhere: they serve the sandwich deconstructed with cilantro, cucumbers, carrot, daikon, and jalapeños on the side. This preempts patrons from picking out any toppings they don't like. At any rate, the banh mi definitely hit the spot. The bread was very warm and flaky, and the meats were flavorful. The cucumbers, daikon, and carrots offered a refreshing balance to their saltiness. Service here is also great. I got a greeting when I walked in, my order was taken and prepared quickly, and everyone was pleasant and polite throughout the meal. For those despairing about Burlington's food options, you needn't have to drive far to find some welcome variety. Support local, keep Kalm, and carry on.

Hubby, the real sweet lover swerved to make the exit. Haa haa haa.. just located of the highway im a cute shopping area with Dillard's AND Belks! The shopping plaza was loaded with vibrant stores. Focus Monica.... peach cobbler company. Nothing special about the decor that is take out only, we ordered. Apparently in my excitement I ordered a apple cobbler with raisins and walnuts, ice cream. Hubby ordered traditional peach cobbler with cherry ice cream. He received vanilla with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. The cashier just oddly took the orders. Answered Yes or no questions we had. Anyhoo, back out the door we left. My apple cobbler pecans raisins was delicious, I finished the small ice cream not the cobbler, just enough sweetness, flaky crust. Nice treat for out road trip. If I pass another time ill try the sweet potato praline with a larger ice cream. OK Bye NC
