Taro milk tea with boba is one of my all time favorite treats. Tastea has a decent Taro tea, but…read moreit's not my favorite. I think their star is probably the brown sugar tea. The atmosphere of the shop is warm and inviting, unfortunately there aren't many places to sit and the one counter they have stools at is super wobbly, so it's not necessarily a place to stop and sit. Regardless, the shop is cute and the staff do a great job. It's a good local option if you're really craving boba.

It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! What I ordered: I got the pineapple tea and added popping boba to it and the brown sugar boba tea. I preferred the brown sugar, but that's because it's a traditional milk tea and that's my preference. The boba was prepared perfectly! That's one thing a lot of places get wrong. The service was a little slow, but they are still new, so we should cut them some slack:) Overall it's a cute establishment that serves some seriously yummy drinks!

I shop and dine just down from Bann Thai and never knew it was there. Seriously, I drive up and…read moredown Rte 157 and never noticed this little strip center that sits off the road and down in a hollow. It kind of makes it a hidden treasure and I'm glad that I found it. My visit was during a Saturday lunch and I was impressed. I started my meal with Fried Spring Rolls filled with vegetables and served Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. They were a thin crisp shell, that still gave a nice crunch when bitten into. The sauce was a accompaniment. For an entree I chose, Drunken Noodles and added Beef for my protein. I was torn between Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodle and when I asked my server, she said their most popular dish was Drunken Noodles. Then when I went to add my protein it was between chicken and beef. She said beef was her favorite add, so I went with her recommendation. Once my entree arrived to the table I was surprised by its size. It was huge. It was so big, it could have been a meal for two. Guess who had leftovers for lunch the next day. The noodles were flavorful and lots of tender beef and had plenty of veggies. My spice level was 3 out of 5 and I still was sweating along my hairline. Next visit I may have to scale back to a two. The service was attentive and the young lady who was my server, had a bubbly personality. I also had a young man who brought me my order, checked on me and I wasn't even his table. Now that I have found this hidden treasure, I will definitely be back. When: March 7, 2026 Why: Lunch

Then one day, as I went to a business next door, I saw the word Tempura on their windows. That opened the opportunity for me to consider them for a meal. My first visit I tried their Fried Calamari and the Beef Fried Rice. Both were outstanding. The Calamari was better than some of the Calamari that I have had at a sit-down restaurant. Going forward, when I am craving some Fried Rice, I'll be ordering it from, Toko Sushi. My second visit, I enjoyed the Deep Fried Crab Jalapeño and an order of Chicken Teriyaki. Both were outstanding. I learned that I didn't need both. They were large portions, the Jalapeño appetizer can easily be a meal for me. The chicken with the Teriyaki was tender and flavorful. I dealt with two different cashiers on my visits and both were extremely professional. I was impressed with the food and service.

No, it was a sit-down-in-a-comfortable-seat, peruse-a-real-menu, order-from-a-waitress kind of restaurant. For me, much more relaxing than fast casual. The service was excellent, and the food worth the relatively short wait: fresh spring rolls, beautiful, see my photo; pineapple fried rice with chicken AND shrimp, excellent; and a "taro with boba" boba drink, fun, sort of a substitute for a milkshake.
