I'm of two minds with Tokyo Bubble Tea. On one hand, I like the menu. Their ramen makes me happy. Their gyoza ramen is great, in my opinion. Their serving size is alright, albeit on the expensive side. The flavors are alright. It isn't too chemically or fake... it's tasty, yes. Their sashimi is good, too. They have the cheapest salmon sashimi I've seen. There's a lot of it too but they're thin slices compared to the slabs I'm used to. However, I appreciate that! The thinness makes that tasty salmon creaminess come out just right when blended with soy sauce and wasabi. And there's their cherry blossom themed milk tea offerings they do for a limited time each year. All in all, a good meal.
BUT. (And this is a big but.)
Their service is so. Abysmally. Slow.
It didn't happen once, didn't even happen twice. It's happened almost every bloody time I go. I end up waiting for twenty, thirty minutes for my order. Sometimes, it's worth it... sometimes it isn't. Most of the time, it really isn't though. If you really MUST go to Tokyo Bubble tea... bring a friend. Or at least a book to pass the time while you wait. read more
