The boba was soft and chewy, but the milk tea was more on the milky side rather than tea taste. They have a cute cat mural with boba and a few tables if you want to dine in. The service was quick since I came during an afternoon when the store was empty. Overall, I would return if I'm in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here again.

The mochi was so chewy and fresh, the matcha was rich and creamy, the strawberries provided a hint a tartness that gave balance, and the butter crunch made it the perfect texture combination. It doesn't get better than this. I think about this place often. You have the option of buying pre-made mochi. It was my first time trying taro pork floss mochi. I felt like the sweet cream, taro, and mochi was good, but it was sweet in comparison to the pork floss? the pork floss is supposed to make it savory, but the sweetness overpowers the pork floss, so I found it to be odd. Depending on the day and time you go, there could be a wait, but it's so worth it. I would go here again and again.

The mochi itself was delicious (although a little messy) and i definitely would make the trip for more of it! I personally am not a mochi connoisseur, but my friends I was with are and they said it was "life changing".

I was on the hunt for a delicious hot latté with whole milk. I twisted my own arm and ordered a delicious looking lemon and ginger scone to accompany the latté. The ambiance is inviting, welcoming you to relax and breathe restfully. It exudes notes of namésta : ) I opened my book and enjoyed my latté and the warm scone (Time to breath out a nice long ooohhmmm). The latté was ecerything I could hope for, but wait there's more. They serce the latté frothy just like a traditional Itlian serving.

Located on the strip of restaurants on Moody Street, I was hoping for a refreshing drink to get rid of the mid-afternoon slump. They also serve food ranging from meals to snacky food if you want to hang out with friends. I ordered the strawberry pomelo sago, and my friend ordered the mango pomelo sago, which are the top 2 most popular drinks. I was highly disappointed when I took my first sip, as the strawberry was extremely artificial tasting. The mango was slightly better, but still didn't taste fresh. With the variety of food around Moody Street, I'd recommend trying a different place instead of coming here.

Their prices are reasonable for this type of homestyle fare, so you have no reason to give your money to a big chain owned by fat cats! ;) On weekends, the wait for table seating can be an hour-plus but there is a reason for this. We ordered popcorn chicken to start and devoured our bowls of soup: chicken and braised beef. Mine was the latter and I ended up ordering additional noodles and Chinese veggies so the delicious broth would not go to waste! My side order of noodles was a healthy portion. I also tried the pork wontons and we finished off our meal with the sesame seed "appetizer" balls (4 small pieces: 2 skewers with 2 each). Dine-in seating is limited but what they have is clean and simple. The complementary jasmine and green hot tea is delicious. Andy served us and was attentive and affable. I will definitely come back to try the salt and pepper pork chop many have written about!

As a family run restaurant , grandma and the rest of the family had a flight to catch to Taiwan the next day; all the ingredients are fresh to prep daily and sadly for some, they had to get turned away that night... I went heavy hitter mode, I was in the zone. I got the salt & pepper pork chop- wasn't going to eat the rice but as you can see from the pic below of the noodles- I licked the entire plate clean. This pork chop was perfectly seasoned and it was insanely tender. Very impressed with how tender and flavorful it was. Next up had the spicy wonton noodles; just truly amazing, idk what else to say. The noodles are perfectly cooked, super flavorful dish. The beef noodles were also incredible and the braised beef pieces stole the show in that bowl. I left zero room for any to go box. Service was amazing, they were super nice & I even got to say hello and compliment Grandma upon leaving. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I will definitely be back soon!

The interior is crowded. And there was only one stool to sit on for customers while they wait. But there's plenty of places to sit outside.
