Bill was about $20 and the food took about 10 minutes to prepare. The tea was very good and I finished it quickly. I was less impressed by the bento box - the pork chop was dry and the rest of the ingredients a bit greasy. But I was hungry so polished it all off. Plenty of parking outside, and they have adequate seating, but there is no customer bathroom. Happy to return for more boba tea.

They have crane games and this cool cotton candy machine inside with shiny fluorescent lights. You order on a kiosk like most boba places nowadays. We got popcorn chicken and some drinks.

Came in and ordered a mango matcha with almond milk (extra $0.50) with less sweetness. There was lots of seating inside so I found a spot while I waited. My drink came out fairly quickly but it tasted very sour, to the point that I worried that the milk was spoiled. Especially as my drink started to separate (even after mixing). They were kind enough to remake it and we realized it was just the taste of the ready made mango syrup they used. My drink separated again which I hadn't seen before. Overall, I wouldn't be coming back.

The last time I ordered "coconut water with pulp", they gave me a canned coconut water that was put into a cup and said I needed to say "whole coconut" when I order. Why are there two almost identical items on the menu?? That's confusing. Same thing happened when I ordered "basil tofu". They gave me fried rice with tofu in it? Apparently there's also basil fried rice with tofu in it. If there are similar items on the menu and the order is unclear, the restaurant should clarify when the order is placed over the phone. I will add that the restaurant remade my order (and made sure to be rude about it). Lastly, there was a hair in my most recent to-go order. WITH A FOLLICLE. I'm done here.

I had the grilled shrimp and pork rice vermicelli that was huge and enough for two, it was tasty despite the lack of flavor and seasoning on the shrimp. I also received soup (I took it to go), imperial roll and a soda. This was all a part of their daily special for $22 plus tax. One turn off was the clogged sink that was full of water. A sign on the mirror indicated to turn faucet just a little to release the water. Why would a restaurant have a clogged sink and not fix immediately. Despite this the food was good, but I probably won't return.

Imperial rolls, combo beef pho, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and chow mein are a few of our families go to.

Every now and then, my wife and I still make the pilgrimage to Sai's to see our friends and enjoy a meal. This night we ordered: Asparagus Prawns - 5 - When the ingredients are fresh and you know what you're doing, the resulting dishes will be delicious. My wife is particular about her asparagus, too skinny is not acceptable. It has to be medium to fat, and of course, not woody. I'm more particular about my prawns. I can't stand overcooked seafood! Bitter Melon Chicken - 5 - Bitter Melon can be soaked in water to remove some of the bitterness before cooking. Then you want to cook it so it's no longer crunchy but not so much that it's mushy. Sai's always does a great job with it when it's in season. Oyster Pancakes - 4 - A slight downgrade because of the size of the oysters. Maybe I'm simply greedy but I want more! On the other hand, the egg was well seasoned, tasty and not overcooked. Sesame Balls - 5 - These were fried a little darker than usual but that just makes the sesame flavor pop! A great way to finish off a meal here at Sai's.

Would be more than happy to come back to any Lees location to try their banh mi including the BBQ Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, or Shredded Chicken. I noticed you could also do any Banh Mi as a bowl too! They also have brekky sandwiches served on a baguette or croissant, appetizers, soups, tea/smoothies/other drink options, and more. There is some seating, but seems mostly like a quick service/grab & go. Located in a shopping mall, there's plenty of free parking. Friendly staff, little to no wait time. Have you tried their signature coffee yet?

I haven't ordered a sandwich from here in a long time, so this review is just for the coffee LOL Banana Cream Coffee (small $7.50): I do not dare get a large no matter what kind of day I'm having, so I cannot speak to the price of a large size. I heard about Lee's coming out with Biscoff and Banana Cream flavors, so I was excited to try. Goodness me I was not expecting slices of banana and a Nilla wafer topping off my drink!! Ugh it was so darn good. If you like banana flavor, you'll like this. I will be back to try the Biscoff flavor (and maybe a sandwich, finally...)!

It's in a complex across the street from the Livermore/San Francisco Premium Outlets with other restaurants, and there is a decent sized parking lot which I'm sure gets used by Outlet Shoppers. This restaurant's location is decorated nicely, has a number of tables spread out and a couple TV's. I've gotten takeout once and dined in once, the most recently dine in I ordered the Hanoi Trio Pork which has pork and fish cakes cooked in a fish sauce based sauce with a carrot and green papaya salad. Also comes with vermicelli, lettuce and herbs so you can eat them as wraps. I've had this dish at other Ao Sen's and this was presented very well and tasted good. My wife had a #1 beef pho which seemed pretty good, the beef products were fresh. The staff turned around our order in a timely manner on a Sunday afternoon and there place wasn't completely full but there were other parties seated. It was a good experience. I'm usually only in that area when I hit the outlets so maybe I'll try them again the next time I hit the outlets.

We went here for an early dinner on the weekday so it wasn't too bad. We got the grilled pork with papaya salad, sweet chili chicken, and Thai teas. I did like the pork dish I got and papaya salad but it was all too bland. I am too used to strong Thai flavors like fish sauce, lemongrass, and chiles. All our dishes flavors seem subdued. The sauce in the chicken dish was too watery, like it needed more time to reduce or a cornstarch slurry. My favorite part of the food was the Thai Tea. Dishes were around $20-$25 a plate so it is what you would expect in Livermore.

I expect downtime Livermore during lunch time will be busy. Only two tables were occupied inside. The host and server was nice. I like the long dining table with wooden booth that they offered to my party. I ordered the Roti Paratha and Fried calamari as the appetizers. I love the veggies combination with the light green curry sauce, but the battered for the calamari was not good. The Thai tea without ice was wayyyyyyy too sweet for me. The Star Anise fried rice with duck was good. Glad that I ordered this since I seldom find fried rice with duck meat at other Thai restaurants. The seafood claypot was tasty. I wish the portion can be a little bigger though. Overall, it was a good dining experience. I will come back to try other dishes on their menu when I am in the neighborhood next time.
