Taro Crème Brûlée

The owner was incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions! She made a slightly different drink than I ordered, but I was not going to mention it as the drink was great! However, on our way out she stopped me and gave me the right drink and apologized! My girlfriend got the banh mi pate and could not stop raving about it! The bonus is, you support a mother and her son by buying at this small business! :)

I'm not one for writing critical reviews but this one is a must. I have had matcha boba tea everywhere. I know how it's supposed to taste and the texture of the boba is supposed to be. But this isn't it. The boba were all stuck together and I couldn't even get it through the straw. Which was very disappointing. The cafe is beautiful inside and that is why I wanted to give it a try. But even though my drink was made correctly I see such potential in this place. The workers are very nice and kind but the service is very slow. Which is understandable when you have online orders but I was the only customer there and I ordered one item. I waited at least 20 minutes for my boba. I hope the improvements will be put in place and I will return again and try another boba in the future.

Brown Sugar Milk Tea
Boon C.

Tyummi very new in Gainesville. They serve boba tea and Vietnamese food Ana Banh Mi. They use to have popcorn chicken but the day I visited do not have it. I was having layover before get back to Tampa. I decided to stop here to get a drink due summer heat and bathroom break. I got the brown sugar boba tea. I got almond milk due to my stomach cannot take daily milk condition. The drink was prepare with not much of wait. After one sip. Here are my comments. The boba is not soft enough. It is actually tough to chew. May be they didn't cook long enough. The milk tea is a bit low in tea smell or fragrance. These are the two points that they need to improve. Good brown sugar taste.

Lemongrass chicken Signature Banh Mi
Simone M.

If you're looking to try Vietnamese food, you definitely need to add Tyummi onto your spots in Gainesville to hit up! My mom and I attended the GCM Festival last month and they were one of the vendors that I had a great foodie experience with. I figured I'd give it another try, and oh I'm so happy I did! When walking into the restaurant, they have this millennial pink aesthetic that's so Instagram worthy. I walked in knowing I wanted to order a banh mi since I had it before but wanted to try some other food options. I glanced over at a DoorDash order and saw this bright orange drink with mangoes on top and had to immediately asked the server what this was. She told me it was the mangonada smoothie - and instantly added that to my order. In addition, I ordered a lemongrass chicken banh and the signature pho noodle soup bowl with chicken and all of the topping. I will say ordering is very easy and quick, however the wait time - was a little long. However, I do understand they make their food fresh as you can watch them prepare your meal. The mangonada smoothie is hands down one of my favorite drinks that I've had in a long time. Immediately you taste the sweetness of the mango with the contrast of the chamoy and tajin seasoning. The dipped straw is covered in the chamoy and tajin seasoning and just compliments it so well. Once I was home, I dove into the pho noodle bowl as the temperature was chilly outside. The broth is very clean tasting and adding the lime to the broth really hit the spot. Now, the lemongrass chicken banh mi is so flavorful. The baguette is very crisp and soft, and airy in texture. For the toppings, my favorite is that pickled carrot and daikon. That elevated this Vietnamese sandwich for me. I highly recommend ordering from Tyummi if you're looking to try some Vietnamese staples in Gainesville!

Outside

Have come here so many times. Love the teas. I want to try their lunch one time but I always go for the tea. My go to is the passion fruit but this time I went with the paradise tea. Cute and cozy inside, quick service. This time however, I think there was some mold on one of my fruit pieces. Either that or just a weird looking seed?

Modern vibes

Today is the soft opening of T-Yummi and while they have a limited menu of 2 standard Vietnamese sandwiches, they pull them off rather well. The reason they lose a star is that there was a lack of meat in the sandwich. All the fresh vegetable flavors overpowered what little meat that was in the bhan mi. And now to the main attraction, the Boba tea (milk tea)! I chose the brown sugar milk tea because for me it is the standard and once again, they did a great job. Not too sweet and a very good balance of flavors. You will definitely enjoy eating every single tapioca ball until none are left. The interior is very modern and has clean lines throughout. There's even a fun looking selfie station that I'm sure will get used a lot.

Pork loaf bahn mi
Kyle G.

Tyummi is the newest Vietnamese place in town, serving bahn mi, pho, and boba. The thing that differentiates them from other places is the ability to build your own bahn mi, which I really appreciate. And boy are they big sandwiches. You definitely get your money's worth here. My biggest issue is the wait time for food. I understand that they have not been open for long but it seems like they just don't have enough staff. Multiple times I saw people switching through stations to help out and it caused a lot of slowdown in multiple areas. Do not come here expecting to get in and out quickly. I would recommend calling in pickup. The food is very worth it, it's just slow.

Loving the cute decor at this place!
Jane P.

Wow, I have been meaning to try this place ever since it launched with the soft opening in February! I never got around because of how busy it always was, but I finally managed to sneak in for a late lunch! Instantly, I was blown away by how trendy the interior was! Obviously not every place needs to look cute, but it's always a plus! Everything was super clean and polished--and pink (my favorite color)! We took our orders with the super sweet staff and then sat down to wait. I ordered a plain Bánh Mì with Pork Slices, as well as a Peach Fruit Tea with Boba. My boyfriend got the Phỏ with Meatballs. After a short wait, we received our food! The tea for me was perfectly sweet and refreshing, and the boba texture was very soft and chewy, reminiscent of Kung Fu Tea's texture, which I love. The bánh mì was pretty good, but the bread was a little dry and the pork slices were different than what I was used to (I usually get grilled pork at bánh mì places). Still yummy nonetheless! I tried the phở and while the broth was pretty bland, the meat and noodles were good! Overall, I am looking forward to coming back as well as see what plans they have for the future! I'm always excited to try up and coming restaurants, and I hope T-YUMMÌ will be a Gainesville staple!

Taro Latte

My favorite tea bar in Gainesville. The food is always fresh and the drinks are creatively crafted. The pretty packaging is a plus!

Is that fresh daikon, carrot, and cilantro?? Yes it is!
Pele W.

Happened to find out about bánh mì organically from some daytime show on network TV. Googled and discovered there's a local Vietnamese spot which seems to focus on bubble tea and similar beverages, but also offers a small range of their own fresh, homemade appetizer-slash-lunch dishes. Ordered the bánh mì sandwich with lemongrass-(clearly marinated)-beef along with pickled carrot slivers and daikon radish. This was among several toppings one of which could be added. Also got three (3) spring rolls in rice flour wrap also with carrot, daikon, and fresh cilantro, and unlike with the sandwich their online menu lets you add any or all the available toppings. Was pleasantly surprised to discover this nook in the Butler Center cranny, which notably unlike certain smoothie places that keep the odd chicken or other wrap or panini at arm's length just in case actually appears to prep things for their sensibly limited menu on deck for the day. I have yet to try any of their drinks, given my primary mission was to acquire and destroy bánh mì, and destroy it my wife and I did, with relish, on top of the particularly garlicky Tom Yum style T-sauce which melded excellently with the rolls. Maybe I will get us a beverage or two next time. One withheld for that reason, but food-wise, five stars well deserved!

Signature Rolls
Alexmary F.

I've come here before and the signature rolls are delicious! I always get mine with tofu (they have honey btw!). The pho however is not my favorite. My boyfriend liked his chicken pho but the veggie one was not it.

Chandani D.

Sadly this place missed the mark for me. Opted to get a Taro milk tea as I do at new places to be able to have a basis for comparison. I asked for it to be 75% sweet and it tasted as if there were extra sweetness instead of less. Unfortunately, there was very few boba present in the drink and it was very chalky and tasted of straight mix. Considering the prices are higher than other places in town and the quality is below par, I would say there are far better options elsewhere in town. As others have mentioned, the wait time was also excessive as I waited 20 minutes for 1 drink.

Open!
Elizabeth H.

If you're looking for a locally-owned authentic Vietnamese restaurant, T-Yummi is your spot! They have a huge menu with lots of food options from rolls, bowls, banh mi, and pho soup that's all customizable with your preference of protein (chicken, steak, shrimp, tofu, salmon, veggie & pork). Delicious & classic sauces like peanut, sweet chili and soy sauce, too! And now my favorite, BOBA I love Taro Boba! They have classic milk teas, fruit teas, coffees, smoothies, and yogurt! I took pictures of the menu because they have so many flavors.

The staff was very nice and pleasant. The space is on the smaller side, which was fine since we went during a slower time. We were not able to choose our table, which would have been nice, and while you are not right on top of other people, the tables are close enough that it can be hard to have a private conversation. There were a couple things that held it back. I was served a drink that was close to eight months expired. I did not make a big deal about it and still drank it, but that is something they definitely need to stay on top of. Also, the menu said Pepsi products but only Coke was available. With better inventory checks and a more updated menu, this place could easily be a five star spot. It is just not quite there yet.

The rice pairs excellently with it, as it's quite salty, and acts as a good balance to the intense flavor. The wonton soup was classic and good. Nothing super standout, but still a good appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the portions were sizable and able to be taken home for more meals later! I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and can't wait to try other dishes on their menu.

I'm in town for a work trip and was looking for somewhere to grab dinner when I came across Hana…read more The reviews were great, sushi sounded good, so I decided to take a chance, and I'm so glad I did! The first night it was CRAZY busy. It's a smaller restaurant, and even though I was sitting at the bar, I had to wait a little because the kitchen was backed up. I honestly didn't mind because I figured that was probably a good sign that I picked the right place! I sat at the bar and was taken care of by Will. I overheard that he had literally just come from working his first job and was starting his second shift, and you never would've known it. He was on top of everything, taking care of his tables and everyone at the bar while still being friendly and attentive. He recommended the Lonely Angel roll, and it was a 10/10. I had it with miso soup and a glass of wine and left very happy with my choice. Well, I worked all day the next day and hadn't eaten, and I'm a creature of habit. If somewhere is good, I'm going back! I went back a little earlier this time, so it was much quieter, and to my surprise Will was behind the bar again. I got to talk with him a little more and he was super personable and genuinely enjoyable to chat with. He recommended a tuna tobachi and a Hokkaido roll, and somehow they were BOTH even better than what I had the night before. Seriously, 100/10. Great food, great service, and clearly consistent enough to get me there two days in a row. If I'm ever back in Gainesville, I will absolutely be back. Definitely ask Will what he recommends because he hasn't missed yet!

And, since it was busy with takeout orders and diners, I had a front row seat to anyone who walked in and caused a burst of napkin disturbance my way. I usually travel with my own chopsticks but couldn't find them in the moment and had to use the ones supplied by the restaurant. They were a splinter prone cheap version on chopsticks. I think they should supply tweezers as well, it took me a minute to dig a sliver out of my hand. In a city with a couple more sushi places, I will move on and find another one.

I broke my yelp hiatus just to post about this meal. This is the best grilled pork I've ever had,…read moreand as you can tell from the photo, the portion size is WELL worth the $15. Oh my god, I took a single bite and didn't speak to my friend for 15 minutes as I continued munching it down. It was amazing. The vermicelli comes underneath this mound of pork holy grail, and while I'm used to having my vermicelli with these bowls cold and a bit thinner, and there being significantly more noodles than meat ratio, I'm thrilled to say that not this bowl - this bowl was 60% pork, 30% noodle, and 10% veggie. I'm taking every bite with 2-3 pieces of pork. I'm soaking up the juices with the noodles. I'm crunching on a few cucumbers to balance it out. I'm savoring every piece. Absolutely wonderful. I'm so excited to go back and try every one of their dishes. The restaurant itself is small, located inside of a shared mini-food court place with a pasta-to-go restaurant and a boba tea shop, and has a really cute sitting area.

The portions are generous and the food is really tasty. The service was great and I absolutely adore the old Vietnamese couple who run this eatery. They do a great job making sure all their guests are satisfied and have a good experience. The owners knew a lot of the people who were coming in to eat. I found this to be a good sign of positive, constants business. The inside isn't too big, but there is seating, and it is kept clean. Ordering is simple--you can either order takeout or order at the counter and eat there. I wouldn't necessarily call this a sit-down, more of a casual eatery. The menu isn't huge, but there is surely something for everyone between entrees and appetizers. The appetizers could easily be a meal for one as well. I ended up opting for the Vietnamese Crepe which consisted of an Ulta-thin crisp rice flour crepe, filled with savory pork, shrimp, earthy herbs, bean sprouts, and crisp lettuce. I didn't know what expect as I've never indulged in Vietnamese food, but this was delightful! The crepe was super thin, with crisp edges. The inside was filled with some pork and shrimp, and ample amounts of both bean sprouts and onions. I could have done for some more meat and less of the onions specifically as they were a little overpowering. I really enjoyed the lite sauce it came with as it tied the flavors together. This was a lot more filling than I was expecting too. Overall, I was surprised and impressed with the whole experience! The food was great, but the service was even better. The prices were also unbeatable, especially concerning how much food you get. I really enjoyed eating here and most definitely will be returning to try more of their menu. A lot of people seem to enjoy the Pho, so I might need to order that next time! I will be back for sure and I would recommend to anyone in the area.

Now, Mala Tang and Mala Xiang Guo both come from Sichuan as far as I'm aware, so they're spicy--and the other food here is, too. I got some food to take away from the bar including Kung Pao chicken, lion's head meatballs (pork, no lions were harmed!), eggplant, and lo mein. The lion's head meatballs were excellent, the Kung Pao chicken very spicy and very good, the eggplant a bit soggy but alright, the lo mein . . . well, no better than most strip mall quick Chinese places, honestly. Still, it was good overall and this is very nice to have a place for take-away in the grocery store--it's also beside the boba tea and mochi donut counter so you can get your dessert and just everything in one fell swoop here. I did find it, as someone who cooks a lot of Chinese food myself, rather bemusing that they aced the tricky dishes and yet pretty much botched the lo mein which should have been the easiest part of the menu.

Both Mala Tang and Mala Xiang Guo are some of the most popular and authentic dishes from Sichuan province in China.

I would not try spicy or extra spicy unless you are familiar with spicy east asian food.
