So I'm just going to get right into it! This place is decorated nicely and was very quiet. I didn't know what I wanted to order seeing as though they have quite a lot to choose from so the staff did assist me in figuring out what to order. They offer military discount which was nice and I ended up paying about $12 for a large tea and chicken bites. Now for the tea I got the passion fruit and guava mixed together then added kiwi popping boba. FREAKING DELICIOUS! I also ordered the chicken bites and wouldn't recommend them AT ALL. I didn't even fully bite into them because they didn't look appetizing to me. They were super greasy and just looked gross so I tossed them immediately. Overall, I would recommend the tea but be cautious when ordering the food! read more

I wasn't craving bubble tea, so I had the genius idea to get Vietnamese coffee with bubble tea instead in honor of National Coffee Day. A mistake, unfortunately. I do not know why I was expecting a unique taste. It was very watered down and disappointing. I got some comfort from the bubbles though. Maybe if I ever find myself back in the area, I will try their bubble tea instead of coffee. read more

My friend ordered a drink here and got a matcha latte. For the non barista crowd, latte just means milk but they put coffee in her drink. When we got the drink we brought it to the register to ask them to remake it without coffee because every other tea place just puts matcha and milk in their matcha lattes. They refused to remake it even though it wasn't her fault. Keep in mind this was an 8 dollar drink down the drain because my friend hates coffee. read more

It's a cute little shop. We ordered the dragon fruit tea and the milk tea with golden boba, grass jelly, and longan honey and the pandan waffle. The dragon fruit tea was literally just green tea with maybe three dragon fruit seeds at the bottom? It didn't even taste the slightest bit like dragon fruit at all. It tasted like jasmine. The milk tea was fine which was their saving grace. The tea flavor isn't too strong. The grass jelly is good and the boba is a nice texture and isn't too soft. The pandan waffle was another disappointment next to the dragon fruit tea. The waffle had the nice green color but no pandan flavor or scent at all. It's literally just a green waffle. Overall, I don't think the dragon fruit and waffles were worth the price. read more

Yum, yum, yum! We were driving from Florida to Michigan and needed some bubble tea. We took a detour off of 75 to get here and it was well worth it. My wife is new to bubble tea and she doesn't love the add-ins. They offered to let her try what she wanted and she was sold. She loved the blueberry jelly. She added that to peach tea. I got a brown sugar boba and it was delicious as well. So worth the detour and everyone was super nice and helpful. read more

Drinks are normal, banh trang tron is overpriced for sure + it's like chewing plastic + this is not real banh trang tron ! Staff is not flexible I wanted to add matcha powder in the fruit tea and was willing to pay extra but they didn't let me do that. They said it would not go well together. I did say it's ok just add it in, I did that before. But still, they said no. I did that all the time in other stores and that's how I like it. It will bring a very interesting aftertaste after all the intense sweetness of the fruit syrup. Im Asian bro! I know my TEA Other boba shop owners even told me how creative it was and they would try that recipe themselves too Oh well, too bad. Won't be back. read more

They have really good selection of drinks. Their service could use some help. I asked the gentleman (young kid) what a pandan waffle was and he looked at me like I had a 2nd head and swear he was thinking duuuhh idiot... but said it's a waffle. Like really!?! So I said well what kind of waffle? Sweet? Savory? He's like it has some kinda spices in it. Well based on that rave description I decided to go with the eggs rolls. Well wish went with my thing else. They were bland and heavily rolled w very little filling. The mango boba was alright but had to pay extra for extra sweet and wasn't sweet at all (so can only assume they didn't add any extra). They seem to charge extra for just about everything. My total for a large boba and eggs rolls was almost $13. Overall I might go back to give them another chance if I was in this area again. read more

I got to visit Tealicious for the first time yesterday! Their space is really cute and the staff was very friendly. Currently, you have the option of carry out, curbside or delivery. Bubble Tea is so fun and takes a little bit of an adventurous spirit. I am glad to see it growing in popularity in this area. I have heard amazing things about their fruit teas! I ordered the Thai tea with Boboa and Pudding. While I love this cute little place, I do have to be honest in saying the thai tea was not the best. It tasted quite watered down and was lacking the flavor punch I love so much. I would also change my order, slightly, by taking off the pudding and topping it with a custard cap. I can't wait to go back and try a different combination. The possibilities are exciting and endless! read more

Love this place! I've been there a couple times now. It's very similar to Kung Fu Tea, but locally owned. I actually found out about it when I was at work which is just a minute down the road. It's convenient for me to get to when I want something quick before work or on break. Also, the drinks are great and I love the little decorative flourishes it has. I have done my Bible studies there and the owner has offered to turn the music down for me to focus better. I've not taken him up on the offer, but it's nice to have an establishment that is willing to do the most to make a person comfortable and welcome. read more

The kimchi fries are pretty good, and the corn dog is tasty as well, although it's a bit on the pricey side. My favorite banh mi is the charbroiled pork. It is very flavorful. I do wish the filling-to-bread ratio were a little higher, though. The interior is also decorated very cute and inviting. Most of the times I've visited there hasn't been much of a line, which makes the experience even better. Overall, it's a nice casual spot that I keep coming back to.

I was pleasantly pleased to find a boba tea shop in Oak Ridge. This is my first time in Tennessee…read moreand I my hopes were not high in finding good Asian establishments. The marble mango slushie with rainbow jelly was very refreshing on a very hot July day. I try to reduce the sugar whenever I order so I asked for no sugar. The owner said I really needed more for this particular drink so I said 25%. Somehow she convinced me that I needed at least 50% sugar. The drink was good and I liked the swirl of (I'm guessing here) condensed milk? The place is very Instagrammable with cute decor.

We stopped in before dinner time to this adorably decorated space. This boba shop is in the old…read moreSassy Pants Bakery space and is unrecognizable with the faux flower wall, neon lights, flowers, and pink as far as the eye can see. So dang cute! I ordered a Marble Strawberry drink with strawberry popping boba jellies. They provide an order number and took about 5-10 min in the kitchen to bring the drink out and call our number. I will admit that this drink was not what I expected. I thought it would be a strawberry milk tea swirled with milk foam or whipped cream. Nope. It was like a frozen strawberry slushy. It tasted a bit like a (strawberry) creamsicle. My daughter drank the majority of this drink and loved it. I, personally, would not get it again, as I am partial to milk tea at boba shops. I may try their brown sugar or coffee varieties next time I stop in. Don't forget that they also serve savory Banh mi sandwiches. Friendly service and a nice spot to meet a friend. Great IG/selfie areas, if that's your thing, too!

Abridged Beer Company

Came here to grab a brew so the review is not on the food. I am familiar with Abridged burgers, as…read morethey have a food truck outside of Xul Brewing Company on the others side of the city. Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

I was at the hospital with my MIL recently and got the matzo ball soup for lunch; like a hug in a bowl, just what I needed.

What a great recommendation!!! first off I have spent quite…read morea while looking for fresh spring rolls... and then I was told Sticky Rice Café has them! They do and they are delicious... served with peanuts sauce, of course From the moment we walked in the energy, vibe and passion was apparent!! Our server was Tre... He asked us if we had eaten there before which we told him we had not so he took the time and explained the menu the food and also his favorite pics. He explained grandma's sauces and gave us a great education on the type of food that we would be ordering! After the spring rolls, my husband ordered the dinner portion of grilled pork chops. BIINGMOO and I ordered PAD KEE MAO.... This is wide noodles in an amazing sauce and you have your choice of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu to be added. I chose beef......Tre brought three little dishes to sample three at grandma's sauces which all had amazing flavors with a little bit of heat... our meals were brought to us and of course we tasted each other's meals and we're amazed at the freshness, flavor and the size. Oh my goodness this is a place that if you enjoy fresh food with an Asian twist, you need to try it. Grandma sauces can be purchased as they are bottled for sale as well. Service was wonderful to go food going out the door was nonstop. And we were lucky enough to sit at the far back of the restaurant next to the kitchen, so we got to watch all of the different platings coming out.... And we just need to start at the top of the menu and work our way down because everything looks wonderful. Happy people, happy servers, great vibe. There is a bar off to the side, which basically was full the entire time we were there. Really a very nice experience five stars and two thumbs up!!!!
