As Usual relocated here from University Heights and I quite like there’s larger seating area at this site. Customizable drinks and their salt and pepper fried tofu are fantastic as usual. Staff greets you and are friendly. The street is quiet with ample parking spots.
best popcorn chicken! thought it was just a tea place at first but now it’s one of my favorite places to order from. try the golden kimchi it’s so good! they also sell jars of the kimchi next door at stubborn bull it’s seriously the best kimchi ive found in the area
Best lunch ever! All the food was truly delicious. Big shoutout to the takoyaki, everyone needs to try it! The service was also exceptional, the owner Patrick took amazing care of us! If I could give this place 6 stars I would, outstanding!
I’ve had the deluxe braised pork on rice and the drunken chicken on rice. Healthy, good portion size and good price. What more could I want.
A cute little cafe with good reasonably priced food and yummy boba tea. A casual atmosphere and nice staff.
We had a great Taiwanese meal here. Authentic and tasteful. The drink was great too. We recommend this place to anyone who feels like nice and simple home-cooking rice and noodles from Taiwan. Good portion too!
Ordered on skip the dishes and was not let down in the slightest by the yummy suprise dessert and the perfect bubble tea! The snack tray was delicious as well, only thing was that it got a bit squished with everything put together in one container, still yummy though! We will definitely be coming back for more, love!
Of the the best milk tea place, delicious snacks and rice combos. Dine in again for dinner, the hotpot for one is delicious, pick my own soup base. Deep fried snack combo with good price and flavor.
