Working in the area today and looking for a quick lunch. Found this place in a local plaza and found it to be a great surprise. Sparkling clean and with Instagram worthy interior, this is a great place to relax though the music selection might benefit from a less profanity laced playlist. This could explain the lack of a crowd at noon. The food is fresh. Comes out quickly and is of large quantity and quality ingredients. I found it to be filling as were the strawberry lemon boba drink I ordered. Definitely will return.

Well I stumble upon this place while I was out and about in Pasadena. Thank you to the other on yelp for giving this place a 4.5 stars bc that's what made me want to try it out. We ordered passionfruit green tea and Vietnamese coffee. That Vietnamese coffee is just as strong as any other Vietnamese coffee out there. I really enjoyed it. And it kept me up til 3:30am! The banh mi had good flavor. We ordered the bbq pork banh mi. They do not toast their bread here which I prefer. But my hubby likes it how they prepared it. I had the bbq pork rice place. The flavors were there. It was just a bit on the light/ bland side. The fish sauce is also watered down. I think they need to turn up the seasoning from a 3 to a 6. Otherwise it's not bad for Pasadena but I don't think it's 4.5 stars either due to lack of flavor in the meat and fish sauce.

There should be a lemon law against this

And if your Daddy has a belt buckle, you'll get BEAT And if your Brother works as a Doorman, he gets paid to GREET And if he's a restaurant host, he gets paid to SEAT But if you want Boba, the lemon must be SWEET And Barbi dates lots of boys, so date her and she'll CHEAT So don't be a jealous person, for the sake of PETE Or if you get too thirsty, she will just DELETE But if you want a Boba, your Lemon must be SWEET And if you follow her on Twtter, then she might TWEET And if you end up hiring her, I know she'll be DISCRETE And I know how she likes it, pump it like a dance BEAT And when you're done, get a Boba Tea, but make the Lemon SWEET And if you have no money, then she'll tease you with her FEET And if you have enough then she'll give you a TREAT And if you have a ton of money, then she might EXCRETE And you'll love it more than the drinks at the Lemon so SWEET WHAT (And one of these days I'll make sure she gets ELITE) Pasadena is a wonderful place, but there's not a lot of good boba over here. Sweet Lemon is a wonderful and memorable exception. Extremely friendly service and a very nice, chocolate tasting Viet coffee with hyper sweet Boba. Their drinks are only part of the attraction. They also have some of the best decor in Houston, lots of good Viet food options, and a big awesome menu with lots of drinks I want to try, and they offer something special and unique, especially for this part of town. Located in a busy and really cool part of Pasadena, full of life and energy. I will not forget my excellent experence here, and can't wait to come back with my much better looking partner. And I'd rather have a Sweet Lemon than a Jack Lemmon. Wouldn't you? It doesn't really Matthau anymore though. Barbi is my favourite thing to EAT She's perfect from her prissy mani to her famous FEET But when I'm in Pasadena and feeling BEAT The only Lemon I will get is a Lemon that's SWEET The taste is f***ing awesome and service is NEAT They're the nicest yogurt sellers you're likely to MEET They're fast and friendly and their toilet is DISCRETE So get your Pasadena Boba from the Lemon that's SWEET! WHAT

I been looking for Vietnamese sandwiches in Pasadena that are spot on. And this place is it Service is good. Chill spot to eat.

Honestly, I did not expect much from a random boba place here in pasadena. At first, their boba drinks were really good. They make it real fast and you can adjust your sweetness level and ice level. I had to grab a quick dinner before driving out of town so i ordered a small combination pho. I did not expect it to be so good. At first I noticed there wasn't enough broth but later I realized it was because they put so much meat and noodles into the bowl! It tasted really good the only downfall...they had hella off branded sriracha. But i know that's not their fault...so i just put in the chili sauce. It very clean inside despite how things look from the outside. I'm glad I found this place I'll definitely be coming back a lot

Banh mi ga
Elizabeth T.

The inside is still the same. It's nice and kinda homey. The service was great. They were pretty quick with bringing the food. What was not so great is the quality of the food. I've eaten here before. I've ordered take out and drinks and told all my coworkers how great the food is. Today I was very disappointed. I ordered a banh mi ga and the bread was so hard that I could knock on it and it sounded like wood. When I brought this to the attention of the employees they said the place is under new management and they are getting their bread from a different supplier. I definitely think this was not a good decision by the new owner. The fried rice was also different. The Pho was still good.

Taro smoothie with tapioca balls
Laura A.

Cute place. The egg rolls were yummy. We got a taro smoothie and taro milk tea. So good!

Sweet Lemon is hands down the best tapioca drink spot in Pasadena! It can even compete with other tap shops in Houston. Why did I not come here sooner? You can tell they use good quality tea, and I like that you can customize your drink however you like it. I always opt for less ice and 50% sweet on any drink that I order. Passion fruit green tea is usually my go to order, but they have a lot of options here so don't be afraid to try something new. We did appreciate how clean the store was. With covid and all, we felt comfortable here. Everyone was wearing masks, and the store is very spacious for proper social distancing. Just be sure to use their different walls and signs for photo ops and social media needs. We will definitely be back again soon whenever we're in the area. Next time, I'll even eat lunch here because their pho and banh mi look great!

Chicken Fried Rice Platter

Y'all this place is sooo good!!! I go here 24/7 their combination pho is soo delicious. For the small, they gave a pretty great portion of meat! I just recently started trying more stuff from the menu and the chicken fried rice is so good too! This is definitely my #1 spot

Mangonada Smoothie
Lucía B.

Smoothies were yummy! I ordered a mangonada smoothie and strawberry-mango smoothie with tapioca. They were quick to serve us and it tasted great! The place was clean, despite being in a shoddy part of town.

BBQ chicken spring rolls 7/10
Crystal H.

I ordered take out from here so my expectations weren't super high on temp & presentation but the flavors or the items I got weren't really that good. I only got some snacks, I really just wanted spring rolls. I definitely wanna try their entrees but this isn't a good spot for a quick snack/bite

Princess Peach
713 G.

Came here earlier this week for the first time, trusting the reviews left behind. Got a grilled pork spring roll and a drink. The drink was DELICIOUS! I got the Princess Peach with rainbow Jelly, recommend it if you want something refreshing. Excited to try more drinks! The spring roll was a 1/10, & the peanut sauce wasn't good at all. Haven't tried other food in the menu yet. Because of Covid, they aren't allowing customers dine in, which i understand and respect, the place looks really clean and spacious. I'd say the service was okay, i went in the evening.

Pasadena's true hidden gem, especially on a hot day, which is about 367 days a year in Houston. Simply some of the best Paletas that you will try anywhere. They're cheap and they're wonderful. Easily the best I found in Pasadena and some of the best I found in the whole city. I love every flavor I had, and they were very competitively priced compared to some of the other places I've been. And don't forget: Michoacana Premium... Will make you scream "Yum"! I would highly recommend this to everyone, and there's a reason why they are so popular. Paletas are infinitely better than their American (or European) equivalents, and when you try these, you might discover why. Think of them like this. What Gelato is to Ice Cream, Paletas are to Popsicles. Once you try these, you'll never go back. Or, if you prefer Once you try Michoacana Go back? You won't wanna

I've gotten the lunch special from here once when they first opened. I love a good pho but this…read moreplace has lots more that I'm dying to try now. I took my oldest for a lunch date when she got back from her first year at college. She got the dumplings. It's an appetizer but she's little and ate them as her entrée. She also got the Meadow drink that's a strawberry juice and both she and I loved it. You can tell it was made with fresh strawberries. I got the lunch special. It comes with a drink, appetizer, and entree. I got the Thai tea, wings, and the Pho Tai. I really wanted to try the pork breaded in panco on rice with a fried egg but I've been sick with a cold so i opted for Pho because it's comfy. Everything was SO good. My tea was strong but that's how i like it and the wings were sweet and crunchy. Definitely a new favorite. The pho was pho'n as well. Our server was so sweet and checked in several times to make sure we didn't need anything and was very nice when we asked for a to go box. I love how the inside is decorated and it's kind of dark so it makes it cozy. We didn't feel rushed to leave. Definitely will be going back. Also the to go bags are so cute and insulated a bit to keep food warm/cool. I love them!

I've only had their vegetarian pho & a taste of the chicken pho broth…read more The pho add-ons are excellent, however the pho broth is much to be desired. It is just broth, no spices, no flavoring in it, very bland. I expect my pho to have the herbal flavored broth. It's not that hard to do, just pop a pho seasoning bag in the broth when it's cooking. Service is excellent & so is the ambiance.
