    Mapu tofu
    Orlando M.

    Love the family style meals. Comes with a large bowl of soup and a large bowl of rice (rice is refillable). The food was great I prefer a little less sauce for my dishes, but still delicious. First time visiting the place and the waiters were nice and respectful, mainly a lot of soups and big dishes for a family. Overall a nice clean restaurant. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

    Blackstraw North might honestly have some of the best portion sizes for Chinese food in Spokane right now. The plates coming out of the kitchen were HUGE definitely enough to share, and it actually felt worth the price instead of getting tiny takeout containers filled halfway. We tried the sesame chicken, kung pao chicken, spicy crispy tofu, brown sugar milk tea, and strawberry matcha. Everything came out fresh and hot, and the spicy crispy tofu was especially good if you want a solid plant-based option that still has a lot of flavor and texture. One thing that surprised me was the complimentary egg flour soup. It would've been easy for that to feel like an afterthought, but it was genuinely comforting and flavorful. The customer service also stood out right away. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and patient from the moment we walked in, which honestly makes a big difference. The boba drinks are dangerously good too. I already know I'm going back for another milk tea... and after seeing someone else's honey walnut shrimp come out, that's definitely next on my order list. Big bonus points for: * Tons of free parking * Massive portions * Plant-based options * Some gluten-friendly choices Definitely feels like a spot North Spokane needed.

    Mary and I stopped in for lunch today, our first visit. We were greeted friendly staff and seated. Menus and water came right out. We order Tso's chicken, crispy tangerine beef, and pork fried rice; egg flour soup was included, standard. The tangerine beef was delicious as was the Tso's chicken, the fried rice was good but standard. You should give this place a try.

    We had lunch at 1:30 and there were still about 10 tables of customers, a good sign. Our server was attentive but didn't hover. We ordered an appetizer of egg foo young and an egg roll. Both were good and very fresh. Disappointing that there isn't a lighter menu or a lunch menu, just one with full entrees. We ended up splitting Honey Walnut Prawns that came with an egg flower soup and steamed rice. It was good but not exceptional. Hope they do well in the location but not sure it will fit everyone's budget.

    And yet another Black Straw to love! They did right by waiting, and being absolutely ready to open in this building. It looks amazingly different, which I believe is important. This is a guess, but I think they are partnering with the Hillyard school system to have local teens getting experience in the hospitality trades. All the servers were pretty young, with big smiles and an amazing willingness to help/check on us patrons. Believe me, I watched them all, and it was impressive. The food? Heck, it's just as delicious as the mothership on Sprague. If it wasn't, that would've been the first line of my review, Gunga Din... ;)

    Order went in at 7:35pm. Plenty of time to do it right.

The…read morefried rice is honestly some of the best around -- it's always flavorful and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous without being overwhelming, which makes it even more enjoyable. We also love the almond chicken and the lo-main noodles -- both are always delicious and consistently good. Another thing I really appreciate is that when we order to go, the food is always packaged well and never spills out of the containers. and I prefer the box instead of the back so that comes really handy. The restaurant is always clean and well put together, which makes the whole experience even better. Great food, great portions, and a welcoming place we definitely recommend! Great job guys... :)

We ordered the Vegetable Delight (stir-fry), Chicken Ho Fen, and Popcorn Chicken. Everything was delicious, and there was more than enough food to feed three people. For drinks, we got the Strawberry Matcha (without the foam), Oolong Black Tea with Sea Salt Foam, and Okinawa Milk Tea. Even after choosing "less sugar," the drinks were still a bit too sweet for my taste. The boba was also a little too cold and firm, which is why I'm docking one star. Next time, I'd probably order them with no sugar and give the boba another try. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and would definitely come back!

Unless you go to some local restaurants for your boba tea fix, they are the ones that's easy to get too cause it is located inside the mall. The tapioca ball aka tapioca pearls are made fresh daily, and they also have different side/sinkers like Passion fruit jelly, Lychee jelly and some flavored poppers. In my opinion they have most of the variety of flavors options available, and you can choose to get a milkshake, slush or milk tea in most or all of their flavors. If you have questions, the staffs are always nice and helpful in describing the drinks.

I went up to the gals that were doing closing duties and had to interrupt them. Neither even acknowledged we were there. I said....are you still open? She snaps...ya. and then continued to do duties. I stood there for another 2 mins, just looking at them. Finally I asked again to see if they had time to make them, and the pink haired gal snapped at me " YA...I SAID WE WERE OPEN!" I was stunned. It was so rude , I literally didnt know what to say. My son ordered, i ordered, and they starting talking to each other with backs to us. Finally she slams them up on counter and says "here! " I will not ever be back! Nor my kids, family,friends,co workers, and or anyone I come in contact with. I have to be honest and say I didnt want some girl yelling or snapping at me and my son when she's working in a spot that serves people! Absolutely most rudeness I've seen in many years. Too bad. We will not be back. I've done this industry before. Absolutely unacceptable. I do hope management reads these! We shall see.
