    Kuy Teav

    It's even better than all 5-star the reviews would have you believe! The two soups on the menu are so drastically different, and both explosively flavorful. The clear broth soup is loaded with various meats you'll often find in Vietnamese cuisine's comparable pho, and would warm even the coldest of hearts. It's giving grandma's heirloom recipe. The red-brothed kaw kho could raise the dead: sweet, mildly spicy, thick and hearty deliciousness with generous chunks of marinated beef. To boot, each is less than $15, and could probably make for 2 meals unless you're insatiably hungry like I was. Oh, and pause for the boba too, which is also easily top 3 in Salt Lake. Without shame, I'll admit that I LOVE the strawberry matcha. This place was already a serious contender, but with their newly expanded food menu, it's a must-go. We love a woman-owned local business serving up serious flavor.

    Spam mastubi

    I had been wanting to try this boba shop and I'm glad I did. Upon walking in the shop, there is a display of different delights to choose from. I opted for the teriyaki spam musubi. It was nice and warm and delicious! They also had the other things to choose from. I opted for the strawberry slush with lychee jelly. It comes with the coconut milk and it is so good! The crab wontons were my least favorite. The sauce that it came with was a little too watery and they were a little cold inside. I did however still enjoy everything else! The prices are very reasonable and some of the best I've seen for Boba. This will definitely be my go to spot.

    For people that like quick reviews: This place was actually a surprise, it is definitely pricy but I'd say it's worth a try. The spicy chicken sandwich takes me back to when I was in Korea and was awesome, I just don't know how often I'd pay for a $15 sandwich with $5 fries. For people that like something more in depth: This is a location that is on the edge of west valley a couple of blocks away from valley fair mall. It's one of many Asian themed stores in the area. As for the building itself the inside was very cute and relaxed. The girl who served me was super nice and quick to give recommendations. With my chicken sandwich coming out pretty quickly(I think the actual name is BFC Sando or something similar). The sandwich was actually really good, as someone who spent 3 months in South Korea, this was pretty close to the kind of food that I got to eat over there, the breading and the chicken were on point and it had just enough spice to be spicy but not overwhelm the sandwich. All in all this would be a place I'd be happy to visit if I were in the area, and I'd recommend people that already are nearby to visit. But I probably wouldn't go out of my way to stop by.

    I was really disappointed with the avocado smoothie. It doesn't seem like they use real avocado. there was absolutely no avocado flavor. Instead, it tasted like sipping a sweet, sugary drink with no real flavor at all.

    Came here for a boba and they didn't disappoint. I can't recall the four drinks we all ordered but each one's flavor was on point. The counter staff was helpful and patient as we took our order. They also all smile alot and you can feel the good energy coming from them. They have a small sitting area but it was comfortable for our party of 6 to hangout and just talk. We stayed for an hour and a half just socializing with friends and even though they were closing they never told us to leave . We just chose to. I highly recommend this place for their drinks, their service and the chill spot to hangout.

    The service was amazing and the food is tasty. I definitely will be back for more. Very welcoming atmosphere.

    Okay, y'all! Here is an update since my last post. Backstreet decided to bring in Kuy Theav aka Khmer Pho! If you guys haven't tried it, you need to! Now, you can drink boba and eat some tasty food! Especially during this season, it is the best time to get a new taste in SLC! And my new go to drink is their lemon ginger black ice tea! Check them out! You won't be disappointed.

    The fried wings here are delicious! We love the Chinese dry rub spicy and Korean spicy! They also offer onigri and I love the spicy tuna! And with every order will always be the delicious sweet potato fries with extra yum yum sauce! I love that they offer food options with their refreshing boba! It's a great place to grab a snack and a drink! Highly recommend their Thai tea and lychee fruit juice with lychee jelly. The workers are very friendly and helpful if you have any questions regarding the menu.

    I'm no connoisseur of Cambodian food, but I know good food. The portions are big and the prices are fair. This place is owned by the same people as Kim Heang market and the staff are so friendly! I would definitely stop by next time you're in West Valley. Plus you can stop by the market across the street after you're done.

    Simply delicious, the Ko Kho Beef Stew is my favorite. Thanks Kyle D for the recommendation!

    Probably my 5th or 6th time here. Boba and masubi are fantastic here as usual. Love that they added a warming case to keep things fresh. By far my favorite neighborhood boba stop.

    Service was quick and presentation in beautiful !! For a store that wasn't too busy at the time we…read morecame in, I found the strew of dirty tables to be disappointing. The food looked gorgeous upon being served but I found the bingsoo to be lackluster. As someone who has had bingsoo multiple times, I found this bingsoo to be poorly shaven - the texture isn't as soft as many other bingsoos - and I found it to be missing the condensed milk throughout. The fruit flavors were great and I did enjoy the fruit as well. The egg waffle was lacking flavor, even for the original flavor. However it was well cooked, crispy-ish on the outside (a nice crust) and a soft and sponge-like inside !

    We were so excited to see this here in Utah. The experience was not entirely a letdown but at $15…read morefor the sole dessert pictured: 1. We waited for over 20 minutes and there were at most 3 tables in the dessert area. In the 20 minutes before ours came out, they prepared 2 others -- so a total of 3 in that time period. Be prepared to wait...they share space and staff with the Malatang space next door, and they appeared to be moving slowly, understaffed and uninterested. 2. I waited patiently expecting to be blown away assuming they must have been spending the time meticulously preparing this dessert. I was wrong. It wasn't bad, but it was a few pieces of soft, delicious mochi along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce atop a bowl of slushed ice, reminiscent of what I made out of my Snoopy snow cone machine as a kid and not the fresh, fluffy snow-like shaved ice one would expect with this order. Imagine hitting the slopes and skiing on ice-like granules instead of powdery snow. It's just not the same experience.
