Plaza felt a little questionable, but once you step inside, the place was cute sending chill vibes. There is some seating if you want to enjoy your drinks and treats. I am a HUGE fan of both mochi and mango sticky rice, so this combo hit the spot! The ube mochi is incredibly delicate, wrapping around the fresh mango and sticky rice. Not overly sweet, which I appreciate and the flavors work really well together. Even better when you top it with the coconut cream. Got 2 for $25 and each one was the size of the mango. Mochi with mango and sticky rice was a definite 5/5! Try it for yourself- so so good! Come early so they don't sell out.

I'll start with the negative and it's a big one. The parking here SUCKS!! The parks are tight, it's in a small plaza, and getting out is a hassle. If you catch it at peak time you can park at the McDonald's next door and walk over. Once you arrive, you'll enter a nice clean open area with a few chairs and tables to enjoy your food and drinks. They not only have boba drinks, smoothies, slushies, and fruit teas, they have a bunch of food selections too. I've tried the popcorn shrimp & curly fries and they were pretty good. What I usually order is the passion fruit teas with lychee jelly but this time we ordered the passion fruit tea, pineapple smoothie with lychee jelly, milk tea boba and Thai tea boba. I usually order from the person at the front desk but they now have a kiosk to order on and it's easy. My advice is to probably kick the sweetness down to 80%, which is my sweet spot but the boys take it to the max lol. Overall, it's a cool spot, it's close and if you go during the off peak hours the parking isn't a problem. Lastly, avoid this place when the kids aat Birmingham get out of school.

It seemed this location had poor preparation in order fulfillment. Why not inserting a "sold out" sign in order system instead of misleading and not deliver what customer wants?

The employee also recommended the Matcha Crème Brûlée donut, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The custard filling was overwhelming and overpowered the donut itself. At $7.50, I expected a better balance of flavors and a higher-quality pastry. For me, it just wasn't worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the donut next time.

And my bf goes "babe, it's figuratively, it's pronounced like partY" Smh. Aye aye. Anyways... I have to say, I think this is a solid boba shop for the area. I got something simple, a taro smoothie with boba. The boba pearls had a nice chewy texture, and the brown sugar sweet tasting. The taro was fine. It had a nice slushy consistency and I do like that the cups here are thick and stumpy looking. Not overly expensive. Priced fine. I do want to try other flavors, and maybe add pudding next time.

The decor is cute and welcoming. I was greeted when I walked in and experienced great service from the workers. Looking at the menu, there's plenty of great options. Some interesting sounding ones were Popcorn Latte and Tiramisu Biscoff Latte. There's also a bunch of yummy matcha options. I ended up getting a small Thai tea with boba (50% sweet). I really enjoyed the Thai tea and I don't have much of a sweet tooth so it was nice to have that customization option. I will also note that the boba was great. It was cooked perfectly. Not too hard and not too soft! Overall 5/5 stars :)

Once there were only two parties left, we got in line. When we finally reached the counter, the clerk took a phone order instead of helping us. We were then told to scan a QR code to place our order because they needed to focus on making drinks. After waiting in line, this was frustrating and felt very disorganized. Overall, the customer service was the worst part of the experience. It felt like in-person customers were not a priority at all. This was my first time at this spot, and it left a bad impression. I don't think I will be returning.

I got the sesame noodles and 6 pc signature dumplings. Here's a tip - when you order to go they don't give you the sauces. You must get the sauces. I used the little cups and got all the sauces. The garlic sauce and hot sauce and you must use it. I swear it makes a huge difference. Also like any dumplings you must consume it right away. The restaurant was clean and open so even if it's casual it's a good place to eat with family/ friends. Since this is a a known Taiwanese franchise, all the other customers were Asian so that tells you it's legit! I'll definitely order again for lunch. Online order is the best, you can do it in their site and pick the time for pick up and it's ready. They have combo meals but my order wasn't a combo. I picked up and ate it there.

The options seem similar to Chubby Dumpling and Tigawok. I ordered the #4 Combo, with the Signature Dumplings and the Signature Noodles. Both dishes were good. The Signature Noodles were nicely done and had some good flavor, I just wish that there was a protein option to add to it. The Signature Dumplings were fine. I've also tried the Spicy Wontons, which were small but tasty. The big sell here is the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, for $17.95. This is the only dish that's served in a big ceramic bowl, and not a to-go container. It also comes with a proper Ramen soup spoon. This is a meal on it's own. Filled with broth, noodles, chunks of tender, but fatty beef, daikon radishes and bok choy. The dish is good for the price, but the broth was a bit underwhelming for my taste. Fortunately, they have plenty of condiments to add more spice and heat. Over all, Bafang Dumpling was better than expected.

I didn't try any of the smoothies but there were no complaints. Avo toast was good and the acai was pretty basic. I honestly wouldn't go out of my way to check this place out. But with it being conveniently outside of the gym, I can see it just being a good default.
