While the selections are good; I find them to be on the sweeter side even after adjusting sweetness to be 25% or below. The store is small, cute, clean. Staff is friendly and smiling. The order took no time to make. I ordered a Guava Sunset with 25% sweetness during my most recent visit which was refreshing yet still too sweet for me. I'd order again and go down to 10% sweetness. Guava Sunset - Freshly blended guava & pineapple marmalade w/ a splash of lemon juice.

The boba I will say are really good. The perfect texture and sweetness. The tea is not too strong. I am a tea person and this place is more sweet drinks. I always get 10-25% sweetness and even then the ratio is surprising. If I am at the summit and think boba is a good idea, sure I'll grab one from teaspoon, but I would not go out of my way.

I came one night during our first cold snap of the season with a couple friends, looking to warm up with some soupy goodness. I ordered the classic chicken pho and dressed it up with all the bean sprouts, lime, and chili oil. It's perfect without all that, but the chili oil mixed in with the broth really sends it over the edge. We also started with an order of spring rolls where I asked our lovely waitress to "surprise us" with her favorite. I believe what she brought us was spam spring rolls, which I never would have ordered of my own volition, but were fantastic. The dipping sauce was great, too. Something in the peanut family but not fully a peanut sauce, I think. This place is run like a well-oiled machine. They churn out food quickly and run some no-funny-business service. Exactly what I'm looking for for a weeknight dinner. Prices are great, it's a huge bowl of pho. I'll be back here for sure the next time I need a pho phix.

I stopped by just before 9am on a Thursday morning and the case was nearly empty! I'm assuming this is because everyone had already picked out their dozen to bring to work. So get there early if you want to get all the options! They have a great menu of Mexican options, in addition to my half-dozen of assorted donuts, I got the breakfast burrito with sausage. FIRE. I will be back for the Mexican breakfast. The burrito was egg and guac and sausage and served with a great, mild tomato sauce on the side. I split this with my dad, but if you're hungry the full thing is a filling breakfast. They have wifi and an upstairs area that would be a great place to study or work! Treat it like a coffee shop! I'll be back!

I was really curious to try the only Korean Hot Pot restaurant here in the Hoover/Birmingham area…read more It was alright; I think because I've had so many really good hot pot experiences growing up, I held my expectations here a bit steady. But I think it's great that they have a place like this here. So, the menu is limited, but it is great for a novice hot pot customer because they won't be overwhelmed. There is only one type of noodles you can get (glass noodles), and only a few selections of red meat and vegetables. But hey, I won't complain, because you can't get it elsewhere. The meat I received were super fatty. There were some when the fat was around 80% of the meat itself. Veggies were good! They have a bar of sauces and other foods you can get and add to your hot pot. Broth was fine, it wasn't anything particular to rave about. The service was great - people were so friendly and nice. They tended to us pretty well. The ambience was really cool! They have screens around the restaurant that play K-pop music videos, which was a super cool touch. 5/5 for the ambience.

We really enjoyed the option to try to many different foods. They aren't stingy with the portions at all. They do have seasonings you can pick up but we realized a lot of the meat is pre marinated. We will definitely be back with a smaller group. Having so many people at the table did feel a little crowded.

It seemed like Mexico's version of a "China Town" or "Little Italy" in Hoover. I have not seen anything like this around here. My friend Tina and I tried Mexican sweets here, and I also had a snack of the Crazy Doritos. This place is very whimsical and cute. Perfect for kiddos and families. There is a ton of space too. They have ice creams galore here. It was hard for me to choose! I went for the prettiest one I saw and that turned out to be the Birthday Cake flavor. It was delicious! Tina had the mangonada that looked very good. I was wanting a salty snack too, so when I saw the Dori-Lokos or "Crazy Doritos" I knew I wanted to try it. The lady working there asked me twice if pork skins was okay for her to top onto them. I said sure. Little did I know what I was about to experience! They were actual pork skins that were like a cartilage or jello like texture. I assumed they would be like the crispy bagged variety you see in stores. It was an experience for sure! I liked it, but I probably would not order it again. The Crazy Doritos were also topped with a sort of nut that I liked, cucumber, and hot sauce. I just can't believe I was not in Mexico when I came here. I'm really glad we have places like this that can make some people feel like home and allow other to just have a different experience. It sure was memorable!
