    Bulgogi fries
    Kenneth M.

    I always like what I get even though I've brought people who didn't like it. I think the bulgogi fries are great and the egg rolls are really good. Mango milk tea with passion fruit poppers are the way to go!

    Taro and lavender bobo
    Molly K.

    I got a taro and lavender bobo tea that was totally fantastic!!! I know the girl who made it was skeptical, but it turned out great!

    Brown sugar milk tea with black boba
    Sydney B.

    I'm honestly surprised that I like Boba Lounge. I am a poor excuse of a Kentuckian for what I am about to say. I absolutely despise tea. I have tried every type of tea and I think it's the most disgusting drink you can get. I've tried sweet, unsweet, green tea, tea with lemon, tea with raspberry; it's all nasty. My friend told me that Bubble Tea is her favorite drink and she wanted me to try it. Since it had the word tea in the name, I was not looking forward to it at all. The building is walking distance from WKU so it's convenient for students to walk over and grab a cup. The inside is like a lounge where people can play games or set up their laptops and do schoolwork. We got to order our drinks quickly and we didn't wait long at all. I got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with tapioca boba. The 16oz cup came up to only being a little over 4 dollars. I had my drink blended, but you can get it iced. I can now say I found something with the word tea in it that I enjoy. I don't have a single complaint about it. It reminded me of having a Frappe from McDonald's (Starbucks is overrated). I'm glad my friend had me go with her to try Boba Lounge because it did not disappoint. I'm pretty sure I will be back to try it again.

    This is what extra basil and bean sprouts means to them. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    This was our first time trying out Boba Lounge and Cafe and will probably be our last. We did two orders for pickup on Takeout Waiter. Waited 25 minutes and go in to pickup. My brother went in and was was told it wasn't ready, it would be awhile and he'd need to wait. He was told he could wait inside or in the car. He chose to wait in the car since none of the customers were wearing masks. The guy told him that when it was ready they would bring the food out to us. 40 minutes later, my brother is about to get out and see when it'll be ready as it's been over an hour since we ordered. The guy comes out and asks why we haven't come to get our food it's been done for a long time and the guy looks at him like he's dumb. Ummm he was told it would be brought out and would be awhile. So they give him our now cold food. He ordered two large pho's and an order of spring rolls. I ordered a large pho and an order of spring rolls. I had specifically asked for EXTRA basil & bean sprouts as seen in email screenshot. I received the tiniest amount of bean sprouts and basil I have ever received with a Large order of Pho anywhere. Now I eat a ton of Pho, it's an obsession. I have now tried it at every restaurant in Bowling Green, Clarksville and most places in Nashville. I get Pho at least once a week from Tsunami in BG but as they were closed we decided to try Boba. So our Broth containers were only 2/3 full (we ordered and paid extra for Larges) it was cold & wasn't great tasting, minuscule amount of basil and bean sprouts, no lime or jalapeño included, beef was all fat & we were given purple onions instead of regular & they took over the flavor of the broth. The spring rolls had no basil and the shrimp had a funny taste and smell. The peanut sauce was liquid and not very flavorful. Not sure we will try them again.

    Hot Pot
    Jamie K.

    I should kick this off by saying I'm not a fan of Boba. Little squishy balls of syrup? No thanks, but when I heard they did a hot pot I was excited. My son and I went on evening to check it out and we were not disappointed. First off, our server was awesome. She never let our drinks or our broth run out and was super helpful in getting my son to understand what to expect. The portions of meat and veggies were perfect and we were very happy by the end. This was a 5 star experience until I got the check. They added a 3.99% surcharge for using my debit card. While it's legal to add up to a 4% surcharge to a CREDIT card it's in poor taste and is bad customer service, similar to charging for a glass of water. The big problem comes with the fact they put the surcharge on for a DEBIT card which is illegal and breaks the terms of use for both Visa and MasterCard. Sadly, this bumps the star rating down to a 3 and has kept me from going back. If they have no problem illegally taking advantage of customers for a few extra bucks then they don't deserve my business.

    Almond blended and mango blended with tapioca.
    Vivian G.

    New location. Clean and relaxed vibe inside. Staff seemed a little overwhelmed (it was busy) but they were friendly. Comfy chairs and good music. My sister's almond blended boba was great. I ordered the mango blended and it was a little too sweet for my taste. But well made!

    Chicken Pho...delicious. Pho doc biet (beef).
    Cece O.

    Chicken Pho...delicious. Pho doc biet (beef). Best Pho in town. Everything here is tasty. Service a bit spotty but friendly. Attire for some could be improved.

    Hannah E.

    Delicious! Super cute little place with great drinks and food! The fries appetizer is a MUST have! Our drinks were super good, and all of our entrées were amazing! We sat outside so we didn't get the hot pot but we got the rice bowl dishes and they were very tasty! Great service, clean and fast! When black in Bowling Green I will be coming back!

    Hot pot broth before anything was added
    Marina R.

    This is by far my favorite place in Bowling Green. Everyone there is beyond nice and helpful. I've had their hot pot, chicken udon, stir fry udon, buzzed boba drinks, boba drinks, and more. I've never not loved a dish. They have unique flavors that are just familiar enough for everyone to enjoy. The lounge feels welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

    Bulgogi Bahn Mi

    My husband, toddler, and I were looking for some food before going to Mammoth Cave and Boba Lounge was fantastic. We got our food pretty quickly and the eggs were cooked beautifully. My daughter loved the popcorn chicken, and my husband and I ate all of our dishes (we shared the Bulgogi Fries, Galbi Rice Plate, and Bulgogi Bahn Mi) so quickly! Very happy with each dish, and just saying since we split it, I was very happy to have an even amount of Galbi pieces in the plate. We were in and out in around an hour and I also had a Mango Green Tea with mango popping bubbles that came out at a good time as well. We came in from Ohio and were very pleased with our stop!

    Boba milk teas
    Megan C.

    We asked for no ice because GOOD boba doesn't need ice. It's already the right/appropriate temperature. I've been to other boba places (in Nashville) and they don't add ice whatsoever. I am 100% convinced this particular place uses ice as an unnecessary filler. It waters down the boba tea, not to mention, they don't fill up the cup that YOU PAY FOR (large and regular in photo), unless there's ice in it to "fill it to the top." I am thoroughly disappointed. This place is overpriced and they rip people off due to the fact of all I've stated.

    Bahn mi bulgogi and the kimchi beef
    J H.

    Absolutely loved this place! Had the egg rolls as a started- hot and crispy. Tried the bulgogi bahn mi- very tasty, loved the veggies, the meat was a little fatty but preferred my friend's who tried the kimchi meat one. My favorite thing was the lychee boba drink- so fresh and fruity I'll definitely be having it again. Also loved the passion fruit boba shooter- wish I could order a tray or something for a party. Definitely try it!

    Vegetarian pho and noodle pho
    April U.

    Awesome experience and food! The bubble tea is so good! The popping flavors are awesome! Even had some left over. Inside is pretty unique with the decor! Our customer service was on point! Definitely worth it!

    Mango, peach green tea with lychee... wonderful!!

    They didn't carry salmon but it was on the menu. I got the spring rolls instead, which were dry and not very flavorful.

    I got a sandwich here and it was not good. They also didn't have my order read when they said they would.

    Tasty Pho! Greeted and sat down right away around noon on a Saturday. Friendly and attentive…read moreserver. Ordered a Cha Gio Crispy spring roll for an appetizer. Then a P5 Pho Dac Biet for the main. Both the appetizer and the main dish came out in a respectable time. Both delicious and temp hot! Atmosphere was clean in the dining room. A little dim. The restroom wasn't that great. But i came here for the food of course! Definitely will be back when i pass through Bowling green! -Cha Gia crispy spring roll. Came out piping hot and crispy! Perfect texture and perfectly seasoned. Sad part was it does not come with nuoc mam dipping sauce, but a generic sweet and sour sauce. Other that that, an A rating! -P5 Pho Dac Biet. Absolutely phenomenal bowl of pho! Broth was hot, not too sweet, and perfectly seasoned. Was quite surprised being that it's one of the only Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Came with the normal Veggies that go in Pho. Do not skip on the Pho! A+ bowl of pho! -Atmosphere. A little dim , restroom not that clean. Overall a B.

    We had a great experience at Tsunami. The staff was genuinely kind, the restaurant was very clean,…read moreand the service was fast. We ordered everything to go, and the food was packed perfectly, which really mattered since we were traveling. We spent a few days in Bowling Green and wish we had found this place sooner. The pho was the standout. The meatballs were hands down the best I've ever had, and I've been to many pho restaurants. The broth was rich, portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. My kids ordered Chinese and Japanese dishes, while my wife and I went with Korean options, and every meal was excellent. Big portions, amazing flavors, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. It's easy to see why this spot is a local favorite. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town.
