Our entrees came with soup and salad. The soup was I guess some kind of broth but it was so clear…read moreit was basically salty water with a ludicrous amount of salt dumped in and a couple of scallion slices on top. We both got fried rice. Far and away the saltiest meal I've ever had in my life. Could only eat a few bites. Seriously it was like dumping a box of Morton's salt straight into my mouth. I mean, I like salt as much as the next guy. But there was way, way too much of it in everything. Added a second star for very friendly service.

Conveniently located next to the movie theater, we thought we'd pop in and grab an order of sushi…read morebefore our movie began. The wait for hibachi was 30-45 minutes but only 15 for sushi. There's only one grill for the hibachi and it's not served table side, although you can watch the chef cook it up front. The ice dispenser looked disgusting; I'm unsure what the dark particles were but I didn't trust it so we opted for bottled drinks instead. The miso soup was cloudy, no tofu included, but the broth was good. The sushi were good enough and we didn't care for the Vietnamese egg rolls.

Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

The tea drinks honestly aren't bad here. It's the terrible customer service every time with some of…read morethese boba businesses. I ordered an $8-9 coffee milk tea with creme brûlée and oreo. It's my first time there and I missed the large option which is my mistake. Got like a small 12-16 oz cup. I asked if I could pay to get it as a large drink and the manager couldn't comprehend that all she had to do was void the transaction and I'd ring up the new drink and tip the baristas for the inconvenience. I'm not trying to make a service worker feel bad but it's on management to not be so stingy on just helping a customer. For $8-9 it did not feel worth the money and genuinely the customer service with some of these Asian boba shops are atrocious compared to the ones in Richmond like even Tsaocaa or Zen Cafe or in Nova like Teas N You I've been to owned by competent owners and workers that aren't incompetent. Edit: I've also worked in a boba restaurant before so I know how management can be and it's just poor business practice to screw over your customers.

It was nice to see that it was open with many chairs, tables AND numerous outlets. They even have whiteboards for studying.

If I didn't do reviews I definitely would have gate kept it but i'm just so nice ‍ The Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie just hits the spot and fills the craving so easily. That's my favorite drink there!
