We went here after an appointment to get a boba. They didn't ask like most places do the level of sweetness. I did request mine be less sweet, which was still VERY sweet and my boyfriend didn't make a request and it was incredibly sweet. We did order the egg rolls which sounded Vietnamese style. Coming from a Vietnamese background, they were very... Americanized? I'm not sure but I didn't overly enjoy them. Overall, the experience was just okay. I probably wouldn't visit again. read more

I got a matcha milk tea 6/10 And a passion fruit green tea with lychee popping boba 9/10 2 drinks was $14, not out of the ordinary. I was satisfied. The family is running it themselves and they're nice people. I came right before closing time and they were still ready to make whatever we needed even with chairs on tables. :) read more

I came in at 730pm to get boba with a friend since I checked that they don't close til 9pm. I got a taro milk tea with regular boba at 25% sweetness and it was very average but a bit warm. We waited several minutes to place our order as the worker was making a few other drinks. We sat down and at 815pm the worker started turning customers away claiming that they were closed. They started wiping the floors and putting the chairs up so by 830pm we just decided to leave. I probably wouldn't bother to come back here if I wanted to enjoy my boba in the store. read more

The service was great! The two young men were helpful, patient (it was in first time) and kind. The pho was very good-- I generally prefer vegetable pho and usually I get some carrots and broccoli swimming in the big bowl of broth and noodles. Here I got cauliflower, bok choy, broccoli, carrots and onions filled to the rim! It was so good! My daughter had the shrimp pho and she's super picky... And she thought it was very very good. We are so glad we accidentally came here thinking it was a different pho place! And the place is super cute and clean! read more

It's a small cute place, staff was friendly. Both teas were a little too sweet for my taste. Good but we didn't finish them. They only have one size available which if you have small kids isn't great since they really can't finish a large drink. Also tried the fried rice without meat, it was good. Better the next day. read more

First impressions are everything and this boba shop made a great one! The passion fruit green tea had a pleasant flower note at the end of each sip. Tonight we sampled the egg rolls which were 3 for $5 and were accompanied by a yummy sauce! We also had an opportunity to try their beef pho which you can tell by the smell is made in house. Aside from being happy with all of the food and beverages we sampled and the fact the shop is clean and modern. We are thrilled that we have a boba/pho shop in close proximity! Historically we were driving across the valley for the items this shop offers and now it's right across the street! This is a great option for anyone looking for a quick boba fix in the Arcadia area. read more

would not recommend taro milk tea. customer service was great. Cat was super sweet and very welcoming. I got taro milk, tea, which I have gotten many places one of my go to's out of a few favs usually. This tasted like sweet milk. I explained how I like my tea/flavor of the tea to be pretty strong apparently there was even an added scoop of taro with that being said I can only imagine imagine how it would of been with out any extra taro NOT a Fan. I am assuming based off of that that their tie tea would be just as sweet and not flavorful :( read more

I visited a few days ago. The drinks I ordered didn't taste as expected, and I was a very disappointed. They seemed lacking flavor and too watered down. Also I noticed the place was super dirty and the service from the person at the counter wasn't good. He was sitting down watching the television. Seemed lost and confused when I placed my order.

This place is a little disappointing. I had their popcorn chicken and peach green tea. Popcorn chicken didn't look like the popcorn chicken I was used to in all of the other boba places I've been too.. and they gave me a few pieces. (As seen on pic I took). This one is a little different. It's more of like an orange chicken .. The taste wasn't as great. It tasted plain to me and the sauce didn't make it any better. I did like the peach green tea. I expected that green tea base with the peach flavor. I'm glad that's something that I liked at least. I paid about $15 for my drink and chicken. Don't think I'll be back. The quality of their food didn't meet my expectations. read more

I truly wanted this to be a hidden gem, and it just fell flat. The drinks were insanely sweet, even after ordering 1/2 sweet; literally drinking syrup. The taro was very artificial tasting, the house milk tea barely tasted of tea, and the boba was not the right consistency. Service was also pretty slow and some of the staff didn't seem to be familiar with the menu - these are forgivable to me. The poor quality of the drinks is not. read more

The drinks were...not my cup of tea I got one of their specialty drinks, the su lee milk tea, which I was told was a mix of black tea and wintermelon, topped with brown sugar boba. The drink was way too sweet for my liking; I couldn't taste much of the tea since the brown sugar syrup overpowered everything else. I might go back just to try their food items or order a different drink. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, you might like this! read more

My food was fine. However, their bahn mi has a giant cucumber slice that ruined the sandwich a bit. We're used to cucumber slices instead of a whole cucumber spear in the sandwich, but I guess that is just personal preference. The plate I ordered is probably not popular (#64) since she had to re-check the menu when I ordered. All of it tasted fine, though. No one ever came to refill our water or check in if we needed anything else. I'll probably pass on this place next time there is an invite.

We had been to the other location several times and was a fan of their pho. Service was just slow. Here, service was actually really quick so I'll give them that. Small place but consistently busy considering we went Friday for lunch. Server didn't have much personality. We ordered the combo app and the spring rolls and egg rolls were very good. I ordered the pho with meatballs and rare beef. There was maybe three slices of meat and maybe 2 meatballs cut up into pieces. About 75% of the bowl was noodle. So I would suggest ordering less noodle. Broth was on the oily side but had a decent flavor. There might have been msg in it.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback.

In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect.

If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite.

It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit.

The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

After waiting 30 minutes for my spring rolls (in an almost empty restaurant), they arrived with no peanut sauce and zero apology from the staff. By this point I was flushed, short of breath, and feeling faint from the heat and poor air circulation. I politely let the male server know I was overheating and felt like I might faint. His response? He told me the AC was on and to "drink more water" -- in a rude, dismissive tone -- then walked away to greet a new customer. I packed up my spring rolls to go and paid without a word.
