    Dragonberry Calamansi Cooler
    Amanda T.

    I gave a 1 star because the halo halo was good. The place was inside seafood city (where all the goodies are!) but it was in a sketchy area but gave it a try anyways. The service was horrible and there were 3 guys working but didn't even wanna hand a togo order to people that were standing there since before we walked in it still took a minute for them to get help! We waited forever for someone to take our order as well. They also dropped a strainer behind a counter and picked it up and rinsed it..not washed...rinsed and continued to scoop the caramel out for my daughter's drink. It was pretty gross and felt like a waste of money. We didn't even finish the tea and the pop-tart was dry. Not to mention the bathrooms were gross and had pee all over the floor...We will skip this place next time.

    Halo Halo. It's Tagalog for Hello Hello my Friend
    Paul F.

    Come here on Sunday afternoon 5:00pm. I hope you come with someone or by yourself that's OK too. Order the Halo Halo. Then head to the table area. It's often empty about this time and can be kind of lonely. As that feeling comes creeping in, start eating this Halo Halo. There something special about Halo Halo. Filipinos are a happy group of folks and you can feel a part of that joy in this weird concoction of a hundred ingredients. Enjoy your Halo Halo, it feels good, you'll start to recall something recent that made you smile or laugh, or a loving moment with your Mom that made you tear because you miss her. That's a real feeling. You're not hollow hollow inside, you're...

    Not the best in the Bay/ Area but it was ok. Feel a bit deceived from all the outstanding 5 star reviews.. The shopping center it's located in is a bit sketch and not super populated and that should've been our first sign to turn back around. The ingredients are very mainstream. Nothing that should grant paying over 10$ for this.. stale corn flakes and super dense dry flan. Could also tell the ice cream scoop on top was wholesale clear bucket you can find at any discount store. I feel better knowing my money went to a kind gentleman with good service but his prices aren't up to par with the ingredients and there should be more realistic reviews. Give it a 3/10. Should have only paid about 6-8$ for it.. not 10-11$.

    First time trying this place & we got their ube halo halo. The halo halo was really good, but I wish they would've added more of the original halo halo ingredients. This place is located inside Island Pacific. Overall, good dessert place to for on the go unless you'd enjoy eating inside the market.

    Friendly dessert run! Cafe 86 is located inside seafood city market as a large stand in the lobby, and it offers a ton of fruit teas, milk teas, blended lattes, and desserts! The barista was exceptionally sweet and kind, giving us time to look at the menu and giving us his recommendations!

    Rose Green Tea

    Service here was fast and friendly. When I approached the counter, I was greeted with a smile and told that it would be a few minutes before someone could take my order. I didn't mind as I wanted to check out the menu. I decided on the House Milk tea and the Rose Green Tea with boba at 100% sweetness. The boba was perfectly squishy while not being overly sweet. Both drinks were pleasant, but I preferred the Rose Green tea because the flavor was subtle and refreshing. There are many boba places in the city, but I chose this place because it's no nonsense and not a chain. Plus the drinks taste like they actually have tea in them and the flavor isn't muted like drinks from Quickly. It was nice that this location is in Seafood City because I was able to sip while I shopping. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area.

    Located inside of Seafood City. I usually order their halo halo and their Ube crack cheesecakes. Everything that we've ordered was so good. Staff are friendly and the times we've ordered waiting to pick it up didn't take that long. I find myself frequenting this place during the summer season because of their halo halo. It is not your boring halo halo...their halo halo is so rich and packed with all toppings and having the Ube Ice cream and flan just rounds out the goodness especially during the hot summer months.

    Ube Monster Milkshake
    herald h.

    Went specifically to try all the different Ube creations. The monster milkshake was very good because it has the magnolia ice cream as the base and I love magnolia ube ice cream. Add some Oreos with it and you have a winner. For the desserts, I did feel some of them were lacking in ube flavor. The poptart, bar, and brownie had some flavor but to me could've been sweeter and richer. The cupcake however was full of flavor and sweetness. That was definitely the best out of the bunch. Overall, this place is a 4/5. It's nice to see the different Ube creations, but I guess with quantity comes the quality.

    Perfect Ube taste on your first bite, not too sweet. The added Oreo cookie crumbs will n the top and bottom makes it even more yummier. Perfect on a hot day like today. Very friendly staff, great service.

    Been here 5 times now they never fail!! I always got Halo, next time I'm going to try the mango peach Tea I heard that was really good!! Their ube Cakes or leches are always good to get to snack on. Whenever I go there we're always greeted with a great smile and ready to get our orders!! Love the way it shows all what they have and promoting on the way with banners!

    Wow!! I am always looking for a great halo halo place. I think I have found one of the best that I've had in the Bay Area!! Ube ice cream on top was amazing!! Great serving! I couldn't even finish it myself as much as I love my halo halo!! Service was great, smiles and offering excellent advice on what to order and can change it up to make it perfect for me. Inside Seafood city behind Grill City. Perfect location, plenty of seating. I'm definitely coming back for more!

    Service is excellent; staff is always cheerful. The drink level of sweetness is just right, I ordered the milk tea. It is very affordable.

    Located inside Seafood City directly behind the Grill City area. Even though it was cold and rainy I wanted to try their halo halo. They were out of flan so give me a 10% discount. $9 for a large halo halo is a pretty good deal. Halo halo was tasty as it should be and thankfully not too sweet. I also got an ube butter bar which I inhaled and forgot to take a picture. Place is clean and service was fast. A great place to have a treat after shopping.

    Food: I was in Vallejo for a nail appointment and looking for some good food. I placed an order…read moreonline using the app and set a pick up time. I arrived and the food was hot and ready. I ordered the oxtails, rice and gravy and collard greens. The oxtails were mid. The were a little tight and light skinned meaning they needed to brown a little more. There was not enough gravy for the rice. The collard greens were mid also. Ambiance: The restaurant was nothing special but lets face it -- we dont go to black soul food restaurants for ambiance. We go for good food and Noonies disappointed for food. Service: The service was cool. Nothing special but a pleasant interaction. Parking: Decent parking in front of the building. Overall: It's cool! Not for me but might hit the spot for me. Also, I got my food shortly after they opened and perhaps some of the food was not fully cooked to its best. That said, again, not for me!

    First visit to brick/mortar location. First time ever…read moreeating oxtails. Friendly service, owner came over to see what I thought of the oxtails and sides. Oxtails are very tender. Nice gravy in the rice. Good beef flavor on the oxtails. I ordered yams and greens as my 3 sides. Both are very tasty. 12 tables inside. Comfortable with music playing. I see some other things on the menu I will come back and try. Bring your appetite, no skipping on portion sizes.
