    Mala Spicy Pot
    Sarah N.

    My favorite Mala Spicy Pot in Connecticut. My go-to's as an undergrad at UConn were always the Mala Spicy Pot and Scallion Fatty Beef. You really can't go wrong with what you choose to add to the Mala Spicy Pot, but I recommend adding instant noodles. I always opt for a bunch of add-ons and then save the rest as leftovers. The Scallion Fatty Beef is delicious, but for over $15 I would expect more beef and less rice. There's a card minimum of $8 so bring cash if you're only planning on getting a drink.

    Sweet & sour chicken, shrimp & broccoli and tofu & broccoli.

    Been here a couple of times, and it is consistently good. The food is always done to the correct consistency and with very little sodium allowing for the natural flavor of the food to come out. The spring roll isn't very good but the tea egg you can get instead is eggcellent! Fresh cilantro and a chili paste are always available at the counter, a nice touch. Among us we had a strawberry, taro and Thai iced teas, all very good.

    Impressed! I walked in here not knowing what to expect. I only assumed that the portions would be small. Was I wrong, and learned a valuable lesson, that assumptions are the mother of all screwups. This place is the real deal, and the portions are large, generously. This is the spot to try out and enjoy. Love to come back and try me some more.

    Tea More Cafe has "tea" in their name but their mala dishes are truly the highlight of their menu. The mala spicy pot is amazing, with delicious fresh veggies and tofu and a wide variety of protein choices as add-ons. It is a great size to share with friends or save for leftovers, so don't let the price of the mala pot dissuade you- the portions are huge! The mala soup and other entrees like the spicy jumbo shrimp are also delicious. The service is fantastic, I always get my food super quickly and the owners are so kind. There is plenty of seating, though it is not a table service place so keep that in mind. Definitely check it out when you're in storrs!

    My husband and I stopped in here while in the area since we were both craving some bubble tea. We got a taro and green tea and they were delicious! The size was decent and an alright price overall. The folks inside were friendly as well. I'd want to come back and try out their food!

    Coconut Shrimp with Walnuts

    Their food never misses mann. Great flavor, you can't go wrong with any choices imo. The shrimp mala tang comes with a variety of vegetables and the clear noodles have a nice texture to them. The coconut shrimp also be hitting-everything I dream coconut shrimp to be :') Also recommend the cumin lamb, spicy fatty beef, or popcorn chicken! I come here mainly for the food, I thought the drinks were ight, the boba consistency could be a hit or miss sometimes.

    Fish Mala Tang has all of my favorite things in one bowl!
    Josh C.

    I am from San Francisco and grew up in Chinatown. I ate here twice during my visit to Storrs, and man... it's was amazing. The mala tang had all of my favorite things in one bowl, and is Sichuan spicy for real. Spicy chicken was great too. During the 40 minutes I was there on the first visit, maybe 30 Asian people came to pick up food here. Not to say all aren't welcome, but more to say, this Chinese food is legit! Staff was really nice and the young owner is proud of how authentic their food is. I wish I could try more things from the menu, *sigh*... This was an unexpected highlight of my trip, i highly recommend!

    Whale Tea at UConn is a specialty boba tea shop on or near campus that has developed a steady…read morefollowing among both students and people in the surrounding area who make it a regular stop. I found the space clean and the interior with enough character to make it a comfortable place to sit for a bit rather than just a grab and go counter. The brown sugar boba is the signature item. I tried it and the tapioca pearls were chewy in the way that good boba should be, with enough body that they held up through the drink rather than dissolving into something gummy by the midpoint. The brown sugar flavor came through clearly without being cloying. The broader menu covers fruit teas, milk teas, and slushes with a range wide enough that most preferences are accommodated, and customization options for ice level and sweetness allowed me to dial in the drink to my preference. The ability to order without boba if that is not your thing is worth knowing if you are new to the format. Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming in a way that made the shop feel approachable for a first time visitor. Order accuracy has occasionally been an issue, and online orders do not always get flagged as ready in the app when they are, so checking in at the counter if I have been waiting longer than expected is worth doing. Pricing runs over ten dollars per drink, which adds up quickly for a group, and the shop is closed on Wednesdays, a detail worth confirming before making a specific trip. For boba in the Storrs area, Whale Tea sits at the better end of what is available locally.

    This is the Whale Tea that created the boba addict in me. When I heard they added egg puffs to…read moretheir menu, I had to come back. I got my usual oreo milk tea with 30 percent sugar and jelly boba, and it was the perfect treat, as always. I got the matcha egg puffs, and they looked so cute with their little smiley faces! The flavor and texture of the egg puffs was also delicious and standard, but I was disappointed because I was expecting an oozy matcha filling in the center, and, as you can see in the photo I posted, there is barely any filling at all. The matcha flavor was very weak, and I was basically just eating a plain egg puff. It was still good, but I hope their other flavors have better filling or it was just an off batch.

After seeing the menu, I decided to try their chicken katsu instead while my fiancé tried the beef ramen. We also got two medium bubble teas. Both drinks came out first. For mediums, they were pretty small (especially with a $7 price tag). I will say though, my creme brûlée oreo tea was incredible. I absolutely loved the flavor and the oreo in it. Still pricey but at least it was good. My fiancé ramen came out shortly after and we weren't too impressed. The beef broth was a muted color which looked more like miso. He said the noodles were sticky and pretty soft. I waited about 15 minutes until my chicken katsu came out (we were the only ones in there so it wasn't busy) and it looked promising... Good crunch but seems like chicken thighs were used as there was a good amount of fat in it. It quickly became kinda inedible because of how much sauce was covering the whole dish. I'm a sauce girly and love my condiments, but this was just so excessive. I asked for a box to go and maybe my fiancé will finish it later lol. The girl was so sweet and even offered MORE sauce to go, but i quickly declined. Overall, may be back for the teas if it's payday. Would not try the food again.

    I'm finally back here. The restaurant is Vietnamese and is located at 252 Broad St. in Manchester,…read moreCT. It's been quite some time. This is possibly the largest pho (Vietnamese) restaurant in the state (next to Pho Boston). The decor is real nice too. The menu is huge. There are a lot of options including classic Vietnamese non-soup dishes (one of which I am getting). Unique items include salmon spring rolls and salmon noodle soup. There is no music. That should be on while they're open. The owner, Pete, immediately serves me a huge glass of ice water with a lime. It's warm outside so it's very refreshing. For my drink, I'm having a Nuoc Chanh (fresh lime). Nước chanh is a classic Vietnamese limeade, known for its refreshing balance of tart, sweet, and occasionally a hint of salt. In Vietnamese cuisine, "chanh" usually refers to green limes, though lemons can be used as a substitute abroad. This is good! It tastes closer to lemonade. For my appetizer, I am having the Goi Cuon Ga (chicken spring rolls). Gỏi cuốn gà are fresh, non-fried rolls filled with poached chicken, rice vermicelli, fresh herbs (mint, cilantro), and lettuce wrapped in thin rice paper. They are a light, healthy alternative to the traditional pork and shrimp version, often served with peanut hoisin dipping sauce or fish sauce (nước chấm). These are light and easy to eat. The cubed or diced or minced chicken is a different approach I haven't seen before. Add sriracha sauce for a little kick. These are good! They do serve everything on styrofoam plates. Adding some ceramic plates would be a nice touch. For my entree, I'm having the ga luclac (also known as Shaking Chicken). This is stir fried chicken breast with mixed vegetables and white rice. Vietnamese Shaking Chicken (gà lúc lắc) is a popular dish featuring wok-seared, cubed chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and garlic, resulting in a caramelized, savory flavor. It is typically seared at high heat to create a crust, served over greens with onions and tomatoes, often accompanied by rice. I've asked for extra spicy. Let's see what comes out. There's always sriracha sauce as a last resort. This is more like it! It's served sizzle hot! That's a big portion! This tastes great! It's nice to be served by the owner himself! What a great meal here! P.S.: When paying, you need to go up to the front counter.

    The food is OK, what's not great are the prices. Maybe I'm biased because I've been to places like…read moreSan Francisco where the dishes are usually around $15. Each plate of food is almost $30 here, which is unheard of. So you can almost buy a steak dinner for what they charge for a rice plate here.
