Get a drink and snack and get a dessert for free. Kiosk was a bit tricky, but staff was standing by to help. Drinks were decent. Red bean milk tea, large size, light ice, and 25% sweet. You get the idea--lots of customizations were available. There were a large selection of snacks on the menu. Tempted to get the popcorn chicken ,but went with the veggie ramen. The spouts were crunchy, leafy greens were fresh, and the soup base flavorful. Served in a plastic bowl. Lots of snacks to choose from too. The ube cream puff was pre wrapped. The comment was it was better than it looks. And it didt look that bad... Thumbs up for this place. Including the bonus star for family owned, top marks!

There's lots of yummy sweets in the bakery like chiffon cake, cheesecake, basque cheesecake, cream puffs, burst cake, mochi, crepe cake, french macarons, and more. It's near the Enson Market. It wasn't too loud inside and there were plenty of places to sit. I think it would be a great place for a date or to meet up with friends. My order: The matcha green tea w. coconut milk (no boba). I also tried the tiramisu mousse cake. The green tea was really tasty, the tiramisu mousse was just okay IMO. Why I left a four star review: There weren't a lot of dairy-free milk options, the price point was a tad high, and there are too many other boba tea shops in Gainesville with a better price point and flavors.

Our waitress was very pleasant, and made sure we had what we needed. The vibe inside was very quiet, cozy, and romantic, making it a really nice spot for a relaxed date night. The restaurant was also extremely clean, which we always appreciate, and there was plenty of easy parking. We'll definitely be back once they add the ramen noodles to the menu!

The ramen was quite expensive for its quality, $14 for a bowl, but it was a solid mediocre bowl (I've just had much better for that price). I enjoyed my broth (spicy tonkastu) but everything else lacked depthness. It definitely did its job as a quick bowl of soup, just nothing stand out. The inside was cute, as are Kung Fu Teas, and the service was quick and kind. Teas came out delicious and were a great combo with the hot ramen. Overall not a bad experience, and would go again if looking for something better than quick instant ramen and some good boba.

Token Ramen is tucked inside Kung Fu Tea. Their menu is pretty extensive for such a small location…read more It includes ramen, rice bowls, and small plates. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu, which included pork char siu, scallions, a sliced hardboiled egg, bamboo, bean sprouts, diner, nori seaweed, and kikurage mushrooms. The portion size was decent and it was bursting with flavor. The interior of the restaurant is small, with only a few tables open outside of those commandeered by students set up with their laptops and paperwork spread out, who look like they've been there all day. Token Ramen is a great late night spot, so when you stop into Kung Fu Tea to get some boba, make it a point to try some ramen or a rice bowl.

We were immediately greeted and sat down. I ordered a water and my bf originally ordered a sweet tea but that was definitely not a good choice and he ended up changing it to a sprite. I had not been here before but had heard good things. We came here because we specifically wanted pho. The menu was pretty extensive and there were other options if pho isn't your thing which is nice. You can also make a pretty wide range of modifications, which helps as well. We both ordered the pho tai nam (#3) however he got it with ramen noodles and also added on 2 marinated eggs. I had half of one of those eggs and I really enjoyed it, and I'm not a huge egg person. Overall the flavor wasn't bad. We enjoyed it. We had plenty left over and it was even better the next day when the flavor set in more. I would go back to explore more of the menu for sure.

I was a little hesitant about sitting outside since, well, it's Gainesville and it seems to rain all the time. But the patio was incredibly comfortable, and the atmosphere was just as enjoyable as dining indoors. Even if outdoor seating is your only option, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The food was phenomenal, easily a 10/10. The sushi and sashimi felt incredibly fresh and authentic, and I had one of the best sushi rolls I've ever eaten. The service was just as impressive. Our server was genuinely kind, attentive, and made my birthday feel extra special throughout the evening.

They have all the spices and spice levels down. I always make sure to have some business to do in Gainesville even though I live 40 minutes away just so I can eat here. Was in Gainesville recently so I made my usual stop in for a lunch of cumin lamb bao and beef in dry wok. Wow! It was fantastic. They'll really spice it up with lots of hot pepper and mouth-numbing Szechuan pepper corns and will not hold back if you request so (see the receipt pic I posted). I've also had the mapo tofu, cumin lamb dinner and dan dan noodles here and it's been a 20/10 every time. I posted pix of those here too. Probably the best dan dan I've ever had. If you like this style of Chinese cooking, you MUST go here! Definitely worth a trip to Gainesville or if you just happen to find yourself there and are looking for a great place to eat.

We arrived later on a Saturday night craving hibachi and sushi, and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the steak hibachi with fried rice, and my husband went with the lobster roll. My meal started with a cup of miso soup and if you follow our adventures you know I love miso. They did not disappoint. It was hot, flavorful, and tasted freshly made with good ingredients. For a drink I ordered a Long Drink. We first tried these at a local festival and fell in love, so when we saw a citrus flavor we had never tried before we were excited to order it. My hibachi came out hot and smelled amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce mixed into the rice was really good. I do wish they gave just a little extra sauce for the rice. The rice itself was a bit stiff, but the sauce helped a lot. We also came about an hour before closing, so we were not too bothered by that. Our waitress was good, and her coworker stepped in to help when she was busy, which we appreciated. I also liked that you can see the sushi chefs working right there, and my husband really enjoyed his roll. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, which always matters. I also have to mention the water because it actually tasted good. If you know, you know how rare that can be. They also have plenty of parking, which makes things easy. Overall we had a great experience and it was the perfect spot for a much needed date night.

But you can't eat the wallpaper. I'm looking at this chicken and I'm confused. I thought we were doing something sophisticated, but they brought out those boneless nuggets you find in the back of the freezer at 2:00 AM. Then they hit it with a drizzle of ketchup like it's a consolation prize. This isn't Korean Fried Chicken; it's a school lunch with a passport. It's dishonest. Then you got the pork belly. I don't know if this pig was an athlete or if it's just been sitting back there since the grand opening, but it's got the texture of a pink eraser. I'm chewing and chewing, just waiting for a flavor that never shows up. My jaw is doing a full-body workout. I didn't come here for a survival mission, I came here for a snack. And please, watch yourself when you pull up. There is a pothole in the lot that looks like a portal to another dimension. An asteroid literally made a home in front of the building. If you hit that thing, your car is staying there forever. The service is elite and the chairs are nice, but the kitchen is confused. It's style over substance.
