    Overflowing Grapefruit Tea with aloe vera
    Dawn K.

    i always come to this bubble tea place when i visit syracuse! they have many selections of bubble tea and there hasn't been one i tried and didn't like yet! the shop has many cute decorations and a nice sitting area for enjoying food/drinks with company. the staff are always friendly and very accomodating to drink customizations!

    I will waste no time. I have been wanting to come in here for a long time but I am always in a hurry to catch the bus. But today I was finally able to come in and I must absolutely love it!!!! For a small place everything is just too adorable! The bubble milk tea was a delight. The decor everywhere so cute and pink!!! The owner a lovely lady. It was only me when I first walked in but soon other customers walked in. Simply a joy to sit in for a couple minutes. I look forward to trying so many other of the drinks and desserts. Oh and the prices were absolutely reasonable. I will make it my routine to definitely stop in whenever I am in the area for my VA appointments!

    Best bubble tea in Syracuse. If you are looking for a spot to quench your bubble tea cravings, this is the place to go. Ordering down the menu, not once was I disappointed with my order. They offer a variety of bubble teas, and my favorite would have to be the Thai Milk Tea. There is a lot of customization, and they use real and fresh fruits. You can really taste the tea in their drinks, not powdery at all. The relaxed ambience of the store makes it an ideal spot for studying. Not to mention, that their staff is very well trained and sweet. If you are currently in the Syracuse area and want some bubble tea, you should definitely come here!

    Stir-Fried Flat Rice Noodles w/ Pork and Shrimp

    I used to love this place but it's gone down hill. So sad! I ordered take out today and was so disappointed when I took my first bite. The noodles were cooked improperly, all lumped together, a big ball of mush.

    Sesame Duck with Classic Boba Milk Tea
    Ken M.

    Great place to grab tea (robust combination menu) and lunch. All sorts of tea are available and the staff will help you through a decision if you're not familiar. You can order ahead through Yelp for pick up also which is a huge plus. The sesame seed duck with fried noodle is if you're on the fence about getting it.

    Came here for a treat after work & I had such a great experience! The workers were all friendly and attentive. The inside was clean & everyone was following social distancing rules, even in this semi-small shop. The prices are good, the quality is great! I got their Mango Sabo with Pomelo drink - refreshing & light. My fiancé got their Oreo Cheesecake drink - tastes just like an Oreo, a bit more tart which we both liked! Both of these are regular sizes, which is just a great deal because you get so much! Next time I'll definitely be getting their food!!

    Mochi
    Madison C.

    A fun little spot to play board games and enjoy boba tea and snacks at Marshall street. I tried crepe cake for the first time, and it was good. The mochi was not my favorite, but I definitely recommend the brown sugar boba.

    Stopped by for a quick boba randomly. I ordered the milk taro under the recommendation of the worker. My friend ordered the bursting dragon fruit and kiwi basil green tea. The milk taro tea was served hot with chunks of cooked taro. Really hit the spot for a cold December day. The place has some card games for people to hang out, connect four, playing cards and cards against humanity. Great place to hang out, study or grab a quick drink. They also have desserts but I did not get a chance to try any of them.

    BOWO: Best Option When Stranded (in Syracuse) They've gotten better but there has still been times where the drinks are made off - not flavored enough. [EDITED since last visit] Opened up last week replacing the old sushi place on Marshall. Interior was designed to be aesthetically pleasing & decorated as best as they could based off location & target customers as college students don't really look too deeply into every aspect of the teahouse (like the fact that the ceilings aren't covered - you can see pipes and stuff). The walls are nicely covered with posters showing off the the drinks & food they offer however it'd be nicer if both posters were the same color (pink) so they can pair up nicely with the pink couch and everything else. I got the rose oolong tea with sea salt milk foam & it was pretty good. But the tea didn't have the rose taste - I wish it was a stronger taste since you can barley tell that it's rose. The price is pretty decent for a tea shop on Marshall where everyone usually goes. I also got the golden curry fish balls. It was overpriced considering there was only 8 pieces. The fishball also tasted more like fish cake because of the texture. But the curry sauce was pretty good. I would definitely come back as I feel like I'm getting more authentic stuff here compared to Unique Tea House, which is also on the same street.

    Love this place! Super cute and staff is friendly. The bubble tea is authentic and not too sweet. I love the cups because you can sip from it or put a straw into it. Will definitely return soon!

    Decent cozy place for 2-3 girl's talk with classic boba tea. Nothing fancy but it's a regular tea house. Crowd is pretty much in and out to grab some milk tea. Bbq pork rice is not clay pot but it's prepackaged and simply heat it up. It's nice.

    Alice H.

    Tips: The classic milk tea is made from the roasted black tea. I recommend at most 50% sweetness for anyone who is a tea lover for their milk teas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm so happy that another milk tea spot has opened up in Syracuse! This is a great place to grab some milk tea and hang out with your friends. There is a small assortment of games to play and about 4 tables for groups of 4. The milk tea tastes great and I am a huge fan of tea flavor so I'll usually get 50% sweetness at most. I've stuck to the classic milk tea and that is my go to. This place reminds me a lot of the milk tea places back home in the Bay Area in California and I would recommend it to anyone who is on the search for milk tea.

    Phenomenal food!…read more We're in Syracuse for a conference, and didn't want to spend a fortune for mediocre food at the conference hotel, so we set out to find a good local spot via Yelp. Su Su Dim Sum came up at the top of the list, so off we went. I ordered a small (pint) of hot and sour soup and lamb with scallions. My wife ordered tangerine beef, and then we ordered red bean paste steamed buns to go for breakfast tomorrow. The soup was thick, full of chunks of tofu, plenty of vegetables, a little less peppery and a little less pungent than we like, but still better than typical Chinese restaurant fare. A bowlful of fried noodles came on the side. A great start! My wife, a veterinarian, suspected that the lamb was actually beef, but that question aside, the lamb dish was delicious, with plenty of meat, chunks of bell pepper, and abundant scallions, in a delicious sauce. The star of the night was the tangerine beef, lightly breaded and perfectly fried, in a savory and slightly sour sauce. A few broccoli florets, a handful of tangerine segments, and a wonderful thick sauce completed the dish perfectly. We packed up the leftovers, collected the steamed buns, and headed back to the hotel. We grabbed some menus to give to fellow conference attendees when they ask where we went out to dinner.

    We didn't really want to go somewhere we knew would be super packed for Valentine's Day which led…read moreus to trying somewhere new. We love dim sum so we looked up the local places that served it & found Su Su. The space is simple & I believe it may have once been a diner at one point in time. The staff tried their best as there were a fair amount of to-go orders & walk-ins. (As I said it was Valentine's Day) We decided to order a few different things. Each one was excellent. The flavors & temperature of each item were fantastic. I really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. We'll certainly be going back to try a few more things!

The reviews looked promising, so I called ahead and placed my order. They told me it would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was perfect. I ordered wonton soup, orange chicken, and house fried rice (my favorite because you get the mix of chicken, shrimp, and sometimes pork). I completely forgot to take photos when I first got my food, so the pictures I posted are actually from the leftovers I brought to work the next day for lunch -- which also shows they give solid portion sizes, pretty typical and generous for a Chinese restaurant. The staff was very kind, and one thing I really appreciated was that they had utensils and sauces set out for customers to grab themselves. I feel like a lot of restaurants can be a little stingy with sauces or charge for every extra, so it was refreshing to be able to take what I needed without having to ask. For that alone, I'd give them five stars for customer service. As for the food, it was good -- not bad at all -- but I personally wanted a little more flavor and seasoning. I would definitely eat here again, but I'm still on the search for my go-to Chinese spot. If anyone has recommendations for a place with bold flavor and great seasoning, let me know!

    Must stop spot for hot pot!…read more I have always been a fan of red chili, but I've finally had the chance to do hot pot, and it was amazing. I try not to ever be the person showing up too close to closing time, but we were craving it and made the decision to go there and eat as fast as we could or else order to go to minimize being "those people". Well they were relatively busy for a Monday night, and yet they served us quickly and kindly as usual. We even said we know there's other groups here but we will be as fast as possible and they were very kind and patient with us regardless! As for the food- the lo mein my partner got was of course delicious and reliable. My hot pot was incredible, and with ridiculously generous portions of food. The restaurant as always is clean, pleasant, and of course fun to stop on the way in or out and say hello to the turtles and fishes. Always worth a stop in to this great restaurant!

I did find a person who visited this one and another one, Jianghu Café and so I asked her if I could only visit one, which do I do, and she said Jianhghu was the winner winner Szechuan lunch. I did go there and it was great! But I found myself having one additional dinner time without plans, so I came here as well. Walking in, I noticed what appeared to be a common Asian Massage Parlor next door, yo uget to it via the entry way that bring you here as well. Kinda odd, but it didn't bother me. Walking into this restaurant, it's very nicely laid out and beautifully décor'd! The servers and staff spoke great English and were very helpful, especially when answering questions about their menu. I started with their Garlic Cucumbers, but I asked for them to be spicy and Wow, they did a GREAT job with them! They weren't very hot, but so much spiciness and flavor - I loved them! Next up was to get their cumin chicken. They do cumin style in all their proteins, which makes for some great options. I chose their basic fried rice to come with this. The fried rice and cumin chicken were both amazing... Perfectly spiced and loaded with flavor. There were several Szechuan peppercorns in the dish, which added to the aroma and flavor of the dish. Overall - I really like this dinner! While I do feel Jianghu is slightly better, this is amazing as well!

The ordering experience was one of the most bizarre and frustrating I've had in recent years. But the food itself was delicious. Since we were driving with young wailing kids in the backseat, we called the restaurant 20 minutes out to place our order. The lady who picked up the phone told me in Chinese that the restaurant was very busy, so I should place the order when I was 10 minutes away, or better yet, when I was at the restaurant. I tried to explain that the whole point of placing the order by phone was to avoid waiting, but she had put a male Chinese-speaking colleague on the phone, who told me to just order at the restaurant because he was too busy to take phone orders. With that, he promptly hung up on me. Ten minutes out, I called again and tried to order eggplant in garlic sauce and fish in chili oil. The same man I had spoken to before had tried to get me to just place the order when I arrived at the restaurant, but I again told him that we were trying to avoid waiting for our food since we had young children (now screaming) in the car. He reluctantly took my order (I was told that my third request--vermicelli with spiced minced pork--was not available). Frustratingly, when we arrived at the restaurant, they had not even started cooking our food, so we had to wait about 15 minutes. The food itself was superb. The eggplant is some of the best I've had. The fish in chili oil was also wonderfully tender, though there was a slightly higher ratio of Napa cabbage to fish than what I've usually experienced for this dish at other restaurants. The interior of the restaurant was modest and cafeteria-like. I can't comment on the service quality for dining in. If it weren't for the rough phone ordering experience, I would be keen on ordering takeout or dining in there again.
