Their noodles have a great texture to them and make their soups absolutely standout from the rest. The shrimp bao buns have great texture and flavor! The staff is friendly and the service is quick! I had my order to go but the interior is nice. You can tell it's a mom and pop shop and it truly feels like someone's grandmother is making the food back there. I'm looking forward to my next visit to dine in!

JJ's Tea House is one of my favorite lunch spots in Columbia! We stopped by on a Monday afternoon…read moreand it wasn't too busy. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming--especially thanks to the owner, who is absolutely adorable and always greets guests with a big smile. I ordered the unagi rice bowl, and it was amazing. The eel was cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of char--and the sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory. The steamed egg is one of my favorite sides. We also tried the crispy tofu appetizer and the popcorn chicken rice bowl. The tofu was super crispy and flavorful, though the popcorn chicken could use a touch more seasoning. To top it all off, I had a green tea with boba, and the boba was cooked perfectly as always--soft and chewy with just the right texture. Highly recommend JJ's for a cozy lunch with delicious food and friendly service!

You order at a kiosk and are able to select the level of sweetness, 50% is plenty. We also ordered the strawberry pancake, which was essentially a crepe with a really nice cream filling and fresh strawberries. My daughter loved the pancake, wished it was a little bit bigger for the price. Expect to wait a little bit of you order food but can stay entertained designing post it notes for the wall. If you dine in, you can also get a little laugh from the chicken on the boba shake machine.

The place was filthy, like dirty chairs and tables, bugs in the floor, filthy... the menu screens weren't working, and there were very little products available. When I got to the counter to look at a paper menu, the gentleman just stood at the register and stared at me. No "hello" "how can I help you" nothing, just stared at me as I looked at the menu... it was awkward and uncomfortable so I left. Do better.

I'm in there area craving my usual, a Thai tea. The local yelpers lead me here. The drink was…read moregood, service as fast. The place seems to be pretty cool, they have a decent area if you want to hang out and enjoy your drink. The space is small so it's not meant for a long stay. However, I was highly disappointed in the drink to ice ratio. I ordered a small Thai tea, I'm guessing the cup is between 8-12oz for the price of $4.99z The cup is mostly filled with ice. No exaggeration, 3 sips and I was done. If I was still in the area, I would've returned and complain in person. If I visit again, I'll be sure to order with light ice or no ice. I highly suggest you do the same. The large cup is $5.65. I really hope my experience is a one off but if it's not, inflation does not justify this expensive cup of ice with 3 sips of drink.

This one had a more welcoming lobby that encourages you to eat in. I had the Duke bowl and steamed dumplings. The Duke is salmon, tuna and shrimp, veggies and rice, topped with spicy sauce. It is excellent. The dumplings were made fresh and served hot. This location also serves Ramen. I do not remember that at the other location Super happy with this place.
