    30. Combination Noodle Soup / 什錦湯麵
    Miguel N.

    Where did you guys go????? Me and my fam went yesterday and sadly you where no longer there

    Orange chicken with hot and sour soup (which I had eaten half of before taking this picture) and Thai tea with boba. All super yummy!

    The staff were friendly, the food was hot. I really liked the selection on the lunch menu, and the hot and sour soup! The Thai tea with boba was also yummy. I highly recommend!

    Braised beef noodle soup!

    Located in a small strip mall in Claremont, between the Dollar Tree and Fitness 19. This is a great boba tea/ Taiwanese cuisine restaurant! This is the best braised beef noodle soup that I have ever eaten! Rich beef broth, perfectly seasoned, with pak choy cabbage, thin noodles, and tender braised beef chunks. Amazing dish! Highly recommend this shop! They have both counter ordering for boba teas, and table service with full food menu. Clean men's and woman's restrooms.

    Located in a quiet strip mall, this boba & dessert shop has a great lunch special! I'm pretty sure they have a Chinese chef, and each dish had plenty of protein! The lunch special comes with white rice, some pickled cucumbers (not listed on menu), and your choice of hot and sour soup or egg drop soup. We ordered Mushroom Chicken, Pineapple Beef, and Shrimp with Broccoli and Snow Peas. The food came out hot and delicious! Service was excellent!

    Typical Chinese restaurant where you get a big portion for a pretty good price but the food is a lil mid. It's what I crave when I want Chinese food but not as tasty as other places. Still I had a great time and the waitress was very nice and the place had great seating and wasn't too loud so my friend and I had a great talk!

    The best beef and egg rice  .

    This place is a local gem. The food is delicious and fresh. They are open on Mondays, too, when I somehow get my craving for their dumplings and soup. Try their walnut shrimp if you like shrimp. It is our favorite.

    I wanted to try somewhere new that's close to the mall and found this place with great reviews…read more It's in a plaza and the inside look really nice and clean. Me and my family decided to try the Thai Tea Crème with boba, Artisan Milk Tea, and Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea. The Thai Tea Crème was delicious and creamy. The boba was soft and chewy. The Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea was refreshing and wasn't super sweet compared to other places I had try. It was perfect. The Artisan Milk Tea was yummy. I definitely would order all these drinks again and would like to try something new too. Even my family loved it! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Superficial observation: Without seeing a sign that says it's a boba place, when you look in it…read moredoesn't appear like it'd be a place that sells food or beverages. I'm not against minimalism, but IMHO the interior could use a few touches that draw you in from the sidewalk and indicate that there's boba tea and donuts. More seriously: I really dislike giving unflattering reviews for small businesses. In this case, I hope the business sees this and maybe makes improvements. But there were a few issues of cleanliness that had me nervous. And the coffee I ordered took almost 15 mins to come out and had a really unfortunately soapy aftertaste. Cleanliness: Minimalism can be look very chic, but if your chosen aesthetic is white and gold/chrome, you've got to keep it clean. This cafe needs a good deep clean. I was grossed out to see oil and dirt smudges on the backs and seats of the white leather chairs, like no one has wiped them down on a regular basis. The panel molding on the walls looks sleek and clean from far away, but once I sat down I could see a lot of dust. The counter where you pick up your order had a lot of dirt and remnants of spilled beverages at the base. The decor adjacent to the serving area was also really dusty. The chrome garbage bin could contribute to a modern, clean look but it looks grungy and sticky. It's the lack of attention to detail in cleanliness in the front of house that made me worry about what the prep areas might also look like. Beverages: I got an Americano and a mango fruit tea with lychee. The fruit tea was delicious and the lid and straw situation is actually unique and cute. That's where we're getting the two stars from. The Americano coffee on the other hand was really disappointing. For over five dollars, I was hoping for a good quality cup of joe. Despite it not being busy, it took nearly 15 mins before I was handed a coffee in a Christmas cup (it's April so maybe that should've been my sign that they've got Christmas cups bc no one likes the coffee?) that initially tasted ok, but then finished with a really soapy aftertaste. I had 3 different people taste it--everyone agreed it had a dish soap-like aftertaste that spoiled the coffee. Normally, I might ask for a do-over since it was pretty gross. But I didn't have another 10-15 mins to risk getting another soapy coffee. I seriously feel bad calling this place out. I wanted to like it! But at the very least I hope it inspires a deep clean and more care making sure they thoroughly rinse out coffee brewing equipment after washing it. Even if I'd only gotten the yummy mango fruit tea, the cleanliness issues still would've had me distressed. So two stars for now. Sorry!

It's not awful, but it tastes frugal. I arrived at Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) on Sunday (around 12:20PM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. My immediate impression of the location's interior is "abandoned warehouse." There's cardboard boxes lying about; the lights are dim & gloomy; and the furniture & walls looked old and poorly maintained. There were no customers, other than myself. Staff zipped out from the back when I'd entered. There's no self-service kiosks, so customers order at the counter. Staff is friendly and welcoming. After receiving my drink, Staff vanished into the back for the entire time. The drink took one minute and six seconds. Fast!! As mentioned, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents) is not awful. It's big, cheap, and thirst-quenching. Although the boba lacked any perkiness, I did appreciate its very small sweetness. Concerning the ambiance, it felt sad. Chairs had mysterious black stains, dust & webs gripped the windows' corners, yellow & aged plants lazed about, and lights stayed dimly lit like a haunted house. However, there's utility. Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) has six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details on the plastic countertop. And there's a restroom for customers. In addition, the floors and tables are fairly clean. Overall, Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) feels like a forgotten relic of time. At the very minimum, it's an adequate establishment. If you're searching for affordability and a place to study/work, there's potential. 3.3 out of 5

The moment you take a sip, you're hit with a rich, creamy flavor that perfectly captures the essence of cookies and cream. The drink has a nice balance between the milk base and the cookie crumbles, making it feel like a treat that's both refreshing and comforting. My friend tried the green apple slushie with green apple jelly. She said it was yummy too ! The jelly itself was packed with a burst of green apple flavor, adding a fun, fruity twist with each bite. It's the perfect balance between refreshing and satisfying. Plus, the drink was beautifully prepared and came in a nice, clear cup that let me enjoy the vibrant green color. The staff at the shop were super friendly, and the service was quick. I also noticed that they offer a variety of customization options like ice level and sweetness level, so you can really make it your own. Feel free to adjust it further to fit your style, I recommend to drink 50% or 75% sweetness.

The entrance is a little hard to spot as it's not like a typical store front, it's more of a hut, with straw walls that you need to identify to go in. The outdoors section is covered by an awning and the indoor tea-sipping area has deep set couch-like chairs. Several events are hosted here like poetry readings, and it's lovely to see the community that shows up here. The selection of tea is very fun to shop through--there are different sections like medicinal to mood-based teas (I've uploaded a few that I found quirky and delightful). You can buy a packet of the tea leaves, or find the flavor you want and then tell the counter who'll brew up a cup for you (hot or cold). My gripe here (and why I removed a star) is that they don't explain what the notes/composition of the tea are, and when I asked the server, he said he didn't know either (which felt odd given how expansive this tea shop is). I recommend parking anywhere in the Claremont village and then walking over, as it's a little hidden and few spaces in the lot adjacent to it.
