This place must have moved... right next to the old location but I was confused at first…read more The exterior of the new location is rather ugly but the inside is cute! It reminds me of a tea party. Ample space to sit and hangout with friends. Parking available behind the Narunya building (across from the Post Office) This place is odd... there's tea/coffee and Asian food like steamed buns but then the other half of the menu is Italian pasta dishes. Interesting combination. Service is friendly and helpful. I was hoping to order some of their breakfast toasts I saw online but was informed they are no longer serving breakfast but may begin again soon (this was 5/10/2025) Because they didn't have the breakfast toasts I did not try the food. Only the beverages. The tapioca boba was soft and fresh. The tea was ok, tasted good but didn't wow me. It seems like the milk teas are made with powders so it's not as nice as they could be. If you are craving boba it gets the job done. The Vietnamese coffee is tasty and very sweet! I'm not sure if there's an option to adjust the sweetness or if it's premade in large batches. I'll definitely be back to try the food!

She showed me to the refrigerator where they keep the kimchi... because y'all know I have to get cabbage and cucumber kimchi anytime I go to a Korean restaurant! At any rate, I had a seat to wait on my order (spicy pork Bulgogi) and enjoyed the ambience. It's a place you can come chill, grab some tea, maybe an appetizer and just kind of chill on your laptop. I really really love the space. Food was great. The cucumber kimchi was quite good cabbage kimchi. I'm on the fence about, but I will be returning for a follow up visit.

Of course got my Hojicha (hot) with oat milk and 25% sugar, no boba. It was perfect. It was a little drizzley out and I was stopping to check on my tire situation (no flat!) Had to get a green onion pancake, you just can't resist. This is the quintessential Taiwanese snack, (any-time-day savory snack) that just brings back childhood memories for me. The crispy crunchy outer layer was perfect and before you take that first bite, light dip in the sauce... or doesn't need the sauce, it's that good. Amazing selection of drinks + savory snacks + chill atmosphere... what could be better?

It's Labor Day. I'm driving back from Granbury to Hutto, and I think about my Texas Monthly…read morepassport. I'm addicted to stamps. I'm addicted to putting points on the board. What BBQ place on the list happens to be open on a Monday (and quite frankly, seven days a week)? Miller's Smokehouse in Belton. Miller's Smokehouse has one of the longest tenures on the Texas Monthly Top 50, making the list four times in a row (the third-highest behind Louie Mueller and Snow's). They've got their business down. As I arrived, I parked in a free parking lot just across the street and got into the line around 12:30. The line moves pretty efficiently, and you order separately from the barbecue line. I think this immediately felt disheartening as a barbecue fan. You kinda expect to get your food while in line and watch the assembly of workers put it together, instead of them being in a separate location in the back giving you order numbers. It doesn't feel like a true Texas barbecue experience and more like a Dickey's Barbecue Pit. Instead of going for a tray, I opted for one of their specialty sandwiches, the El Gallo Picante. It has their spicy hot link sausage and their smoked chicken topped with coleslaw, onions, jalapeños, pickles, and barbecue sauce. I also got a side of their broccoli salad out of curiosity and a roll of their homemade cornbread. I got my drink and sat down with my roll of cornbread. It wasn't long until my tray came to me. The sandwich stood on its own as a behemoth. So much chicken and sausage fell out of the bun. The sandwich was less concerned about being a sandwich and more focused on creating a space to try and contain a mixture of ingredients. It wasn't bad, but it was hard to say anything other than that I felt uninspired by the entire thing. The sausage was fine, the chicken was kinda dry, but everything together with all the separate ingredients masked the meats' faults. The broccoli salad was a unique side that I had never seen before at a barbecue joint, so I wanted to try it. It was cool, but not something I'd get again. As for the cornbread, it was quality, but if that's the most impressive part of the meal, then I'm questioning the establishment's ability to create a good barbecue experience. I think it's so cool to have so many special barbecue places near me and the ability to try so many, but I'm starting to wonder if the places that stay on the list for four editions start to lose their oomph. Do they become complacent knowing they already have their business and are established? Is there any need to try and push the envelope when you're just a recurring guest on top barbecue lists? Is it a me issue? Is it my fault I went to Burnt Bean a week prior and now I'm trying a place that sells all-day barbecue? With your big brick-and-mortar and your TV screen menus, you're not as hungry as you used to be.

ORDER Build Your Own Poke Bowl - I ordered a bowl with…read moresushi, rice, spicy salmon, sweet onion, red onion, cucumber, oshinko, seaweed salad, sweet soy sauce, wonton crisps, crispy onion, sesame seeds, and pineapple. Pretty alright. There was not that much salmon but the bowl presentation was great. Oshinko seemed a bit more on the mushy side than I'm typically used to. A bit of fishiness from the seaweed salad but other than that pretty good. JP Matcha with Boba - the tapioca is a bit on the more mushy side. My friend got some Boba and it was really mushy. Mine was just a little mushy with a little bit more firmness in the center. Didn't really taste like matcha but it was alright. VIBES - the restaurant is connected to the next-door place, which has some table seating. The place is pretty crowded with families and friends eating. Lighting from window is great. SERVICE - service was ok. The person taking order didn't seem too too friendly and it took a bit for the order to come out but not too terrible.

I went to visit the bar and was impressed by its selective, but adequate spread of options. I ordered a summer spritz and went to go look at the books available. I love how they section off into the different genres while adequately having a good seating area. If you're in the area to explore, this place is it for some good reads and studying. Nice dark but appropriately enhanced environment for some quiet time!
