    Passion fruit tea with tapioca pearls
    Ileanna R.

    I am usually in and out of this place in less than 10 minutes because i only order boba. this time it took over 30 minutes to get 2 teas. the first 15 minutes me and my boyfriend were clueless and didn't know why we weren't getting our teas, other people were getting theirs. My boyfriend finally got up and was going to ask about our drinks and the sweet girl that was working there told us they were brewing more. i wish we were told this so we weren't clueless the whole time. The employees were super nice, wish there was communication. Passion fruit tea is my favorite, never disappoints.

    Ok place. Disappointed because we stopped by looking for rolled ice cream, which they don't have. They appear to had shifted their focus to poke bowls, ramen, and bubble tea and offer dipped ice cream as well, but only in 6 flavors. They were OK but clearly just bought from a food service vendor, not house made or anything. Run by a bunch of teenagers who didn't really care. Got our orders wrong, and blamed us. We won't be back.

    Rolled ice cream and boba tea... sign me up! I'm a big fan of sweet cream mixed with strawberries, throw some bananas and marshmallows on top for added sweetness and my tastebuds are in heaven! Seriously though, give this place a try. You won't regret it.

    Yummy ramen and boba tea right in Alcoa! A perfect lunch spot. It's small, with just a few tables and sparsely decorated, but the food was good. You place your order and pay on a computer kiosk without interacting with any staff. The menu was clear and I had no trouble navigating the system, but if someone was new to ramen, poke bowls, or boba, this would be a very intimidating situation with nobody to answer questions.

    Medium taro milk tea with regular boba, 30% sugar
    Jessica B.

    I'm so glad Maryville has a boba place and getting this milk tea delicacy isn't reserved for my trips to Atlanta or San Diego. You know they're an expert place when they offer adjustments on the amount of sweetness. I always get my signature order, medium taro milk tea with regular boba at 30% sweetness. The boba is freshly cooked, not undercooked. It's perfectly chewy. Decrease in sugar option allows me to focus on the light and pleasant taro flavor. Consistent performance in creating high quality milk tea orders at this location. They also offer rolled ice cream, but this item in general is not my preference, so I cannot speak to the quality of that item. Couple of tables outside and 1 table inside. I prefer to stop in and take the item to go.

    Wish I wouldn't of waited to try this for so long, poke bowl was fresh and big portion. Many options to customize, boba was delicious too. Cute space. All ordering is done via a tablet

    We absolutely loved our first poke bowls here. We will for sure be returning. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back. It was also very well priced

I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and the broth was amazing. Just the right amount of heat to provide a strong flavor, but not so much that you lose the taste of everything else. I got it with the pork and there was a ton! I also got a lychee green tea with lychee boba and it was one of the best I've had, ever. This was a delivery, so I can't comment on the ambiance, however, they gave a little hang tag so that it's easy to order again the next time. I'm not from here, but I would come back!

I got the dumplings and the spring rolls to start and they were delicious. I got the Yamato 'burger' also and it was good too. It was a little sweet and reminded me a bit of salty cha su in a pita. - Just know it's not an American burger before you order it. Ming explained this to me before so I was prepared. :) My friend got the ramen bowl with spicy miso and ribeye and said it was amazing with the perfect amount of spice. Another friend got the Crab poke bowl, she said it was good with different textures. Everything we ate was good! The atmosphere was relaxing (we were seated in the corner booth).

    Back in the before times (pre-2010), Anaba was my favorite (possibly second favorite behind NAMA),…read moreso I was very happy that the rumors of its demise were highly exaggerated. The restaurant was still there and it was very tasty. We took a seat at the bar and it took my mom and I a few minutes so decide. I got a rainbow roll and a salmon/avocado roll. Being from Portland OR, I am used to non sushi track being significantly more expensive. The total for my rolls was $16+$7.50=$23.50. Not only is the total low, the rolls were twice as large as they are in Portland. I was very happy and quite satisfied with these two rolls. Hopefully I will make it back to Knoxville within two years if not sooner. Anaba is a great restaurant with excellent service and ambiance. Recommend highly.

This was probably our first time back in over a year, and it seems as if it is starting to go downhill. The food was okay, not as good as it used to be and kind of bland. The rice on my sushi was undercooked and the spring rolls fell apart really easily. The pricing is okay and they do have deals on certain days. We were charged an extra $2 for fried rice for hibachi chicken which was never stated on the menu with the hibachi options and it actually stated the hibachi was served with your choice of white or fried rice. When we asked the server she showed us the section for "rice bowls" saying the up-charge was shown there and insisted it was a $2 upcharge.. which was kind of deceiving. Overall it was okay, don't know that we would choose it again though.

    We popped in because we wanted a beer before the St. Patrick's Day parade. We ended up staying here…read morea few hours because you could see the parade from the window. It wasn't crowded inside, there are a lot of seating options for big or small groups. Several tables could seat at least 6. Michael was bartending when we went. He did a great job at making us feel like locals! He was attentive even though it was quite busy from people coming in from the parade. The arcade area was pretty cool. Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.

It came to the office in under 30 minutes, which was shockingly fast. I think I did opt to pay a little extra for the speedy delivery option. When it arrived, I hadn't even noticed my app pinging me. One of my co-workers just brought it in with him. The salmon was still cold and the salad was fresh and crisp. The standard flavors were perfect and I don't have to add any soy or other flavorings. Even the price was reasonable for the quality. I would highly recommend and will definitely come back.

    Alright, alright, alright! We found a sushi spot near home -- finally!…read more I genuinely thought we'd tracked down every option in the area, but this one slipped right past me. Maybe "Poke Bowl" in the name threw off my searches -- who knows -- but I'm just glad it finally showed up. It's a small, tucked-away spot in the corner of a strip shopping center, easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Inside, there's a handful of small tables plus mostly counter service, but if you time it right, you can snag a seat at the sushi bar -- it holds maybe 8 to 10 people. And since we're firm believers that sushi night means service, that's exactly where Patrick steered us. He took great care of us all night: walking us through the restaurant's history, offering up solid suggestions, and turning out incredible sushi with genuinely great energy the whole time. Beer's the only drink option here, so if you're after a fancy date night with sake or craft cocktails, you'll want to head further into town. But for a laid-back night with a couple of cold ones, this place absolutely delivers. The sushi itself, though? Fresh, and every single piece was delicious. Honestly, I can't even remember everything we ordered -- most of it was Patrick asking what flavors we liked and just going for it, which is exactly how it should be done. One roll I do remember requesting was the Hardin Valley Roll, and it was a fantastic pick. We'll absolutely be back. And next time I'm craving sushi to go, this is who I'm calling -- no more grocery store sushi for me, ever again.
