    Jello
    Lena S.

    They just opened last week. Saw they had Labubu jello and knew I needed to stop by. Inside is very clean, super spacious. They even have a karaoke stage/area. This place would be great on a weekend night. Bring a couple friends, sing your heart out. Whilst eating and drinking boba. Staff was nice. Nothing out of the usual. Very helpful and sweet. Hue banh mi: I've never seen this on any menu in Fresno. It's stir fried pork belly? Or stewed pork belly. Supppppperrrrr flavorful. But the skin on the pork belly was chewy. Not going to lie this banh was so good. They even included Vietnamese coriander. My favorite herb. No one ever does that. Pate was good. The pickled daikon and carrots were sweet and tangy, bigger chunks so you get a nice fresh crunch in your banh mi. If it weren't for the chewiness of the pork belly I'd give this a perfect score. (4.5/5) Popcorn chicken: they don't have an appetizer version of this. You have to get this as a meal. With garlic noodles or fries. I was expecting the popcorn chicken to be battered, like other boba spots. But this was lightly battered. It was good. Very well seasoned. The garlic noodles were also good. Very garlicky (4.5/5) Tiramisu boba: the drink was delicious. sweet, creamy. The boba was also good in flavor like brown sugar flavored but it was on the harder side. I do wish it was softer and chewy. It would've been perfect. (3/5) Overall I'd definitely come back. They're still in there grand opening phase they do have some things to work out. But that banh mi is a winner. It's something so different from what we usually have. But they need to get rid of the skin on it and it'll be perfect.

    The place looks incredible, amazing customer service and open til 10PM. The menu is big, food options and drinks, a bit pricy but my coffee was amazing!

    Tai tea, Purple blended smoothie, Tiramisu Mousse Espresso

    Service was amazing, drinks served fast, everything tastes so good. Lovely polite staff workers. The inside is so pretty and aesthetic. Lots of seating and there's a karaoke stage!

    I highly recommend Highlands because it's a really nice place to relax and their drinks are really good! I got the banana whipped matcha latte and it was so good even though I got it right before closing. The workers were really nice and kind so that's a plus for me. I do regret getting the tart, though.

    Cute little boba cafè. Food and service was great. Love the ambiance. Prices are kinda up there, but they put a lot of love into their store.

    Royal tea, normal ice, 50% sugar, boba, lychee jelly
    Binny

    The atmosphere is clean and fresh. I was supprised by how spacious the shop was and by how much seating there was. I ordered the royal tea with boba and lychee jelly at 50% sweetness. Even at 50% it was very sweet, but tasty nonetheless. The woman who made my drink was very kind. I would definitely come back to try more drinks.

    Highland signature boba

    They are very welcoming right when you come in, the interior is great and the boba and food was fantastic! Its so rare to find a boba place that get the tapioca bobas perfect along with the drink being so flavor as I got the highland signature boba. The pork belly banh mi was hitting all the right notes as i was enjoying my time eating it all. Would love to come back, they are so delightful and friendly!

    Highland special (left) and Saigon che (right)
    Khoa B.

    A solid boba/che place in an unsuspecting plaza - we got their highland special milk tea and the Saigon Che. Being from the Bay Area, the flavors of both items felt very close to home and reminded me a lot of the dessert stops in Vietnam Town. Highly recommend if you crave boba or Vietnamese desserts!

    Rei V.

    New restaurant/boba shop that serves Vietnamese food, boba, che, and variety of sweets! The sweet lady at the counter was very welcoming and accommodating with the order. It's such an adorable set up with plenty of seating and an abundance of natural lighting. They also play soothing Vietnamese music, and I'm happy to report the food and che were very flavorful. I look forward to coming back!

But since we were dinning in I decided to try their Steak and Eggs with the bread. It was sooooooo good. The warm bread was crunchy on the outside and nice and soft in the inside. The eggs and meat came out on a sizzling try. There were two sunny side up eggs, thick cut of sweet/salty/tender marinated beef, small mushrooms, and pate on top. Paired with the bread this was a very comforting and delicious dish. The Nam Nuong rolls were good. Good portion of fillings and great crunchiness of the eggrolls wrappers and thick cut of the nam Nuong pork. I was only disappointed in the sauce. It was good but lacking depth of flavors. I think my expectation was it go be like the ones at Brodard's. And it wasn't. Located in the back corner, it can be a little hard to find parking if it gets busy but there is also the side parking lot. There was a wait list but we waited in line at the to go counter to ask to be seated. We were given our water and ordered. Once the food was dropped off we weren't checked up on again but this didn't bother us and you pay at the counter afterwards. The place had a lot of seatings with some seatings outside. There were tv playing Vietnamese food channels that was cool. I didn't get anything from their huge options of drinks and Che this time though. Looking forward to doing so next time. If you haven't tried this place, I would highly recommend their Vietnamese sandwiches with extra pate and butter.

    Wanted to give this place a shot because it's close to my new work place and really enjoy it!…read more It's attached to the Tea Shop, which you have to walk through first to get to the restaurant. You'll then have to wait to be seated at the register. I think this set-up is kind of awkward but hey, at least they have cute sidewalk seating. There are plenty of tables and long benches to sit at and the restaurant itself feels clean and well-lit! The staff are super helpful also. Tried the House Special Beef Pho and it was pretty tasty! You do have the option to order your dish with regular thin noodles, flat noodles, or egg noodles. The broth is basil-y and the flavor has great depth. They have a self-serve station for condiments where you can grab some chili oil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that I don't feel too bloated after eating here (compared to other pho restaurants). Been enjoying this restaurant and eating here at least once a week!

    It's been a minute since I've been back here... I heard they remodeled? But idk what changed lmao I…read moreguess it's been that long since my last visit (it hasn't been a full year yet, fyi). My memory is shot. I don't want to be handing out 5 stars so easily but I think they deserve it. The restaurant is very clean, and I love the little Asian lanterns they have, all different, above each table. Plenty of seating. When we got there (a little after 5), there was only one other table occupied... by the time we left (6:30), every table was nearly taken. Our waitress, as well as the other on the floor, were both very welcoming and friendly. They handled the service remarkably as a team. The fact that they were a packed house and still were very attentive with us, checking how we're doing, checking on our water refills... these are the little things I appreciate most (and, of course, good food). I got the Pho with the Fatty Brisket, my friend got just the Steak Pho. They have a bar against the wall with all garnishes you may need to grab what you'd like. This is pretty smart... It saves them from waste. Instead of giving people items they may not use-- they would just grab what they'd like themselves. My friend grabbed her goodies, I prefer mine as is. To me, if your broth is good and doesn't require me to flavor it... I'll eat it just like that (unless I feel like adding spice). I've only ever been to a few other Pho places where I had to season up the broth myself...definite no no for them. All my friends who have gone out to eat Pho with me know I eat it just how I get it. Pho from my Mama is a different story though... I put the works (not because it's not flavorful) but, it's just different. Moving on... They also have a Teazona in their establishment. I've tried a few different drinks in the past but came to regularly deciding on the Tiramisu Milk Tea (no flan for me, light boba). Make sure to shake it well. You can also let them know your preference on the level of sweetness. We both got this tonight and it nearly tipped me over on the full scale. Couldn't finish it. Everything was really good though. Pho was the perfect choice for this weird, gloomy weather we've been having. The price is a bit up there but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. But-- for the portion, the quality, and the service? Worth it.

Noticed a fellow yelper and old friend who made a stop here as well a few yrs ago. So cant say no to that! Food was delicious and authentic! It is limited to what Im used to but completely understands due to the area and preferences of the community. Most important is the main items are good. Let say it was good enough I wished I had more. Almost ordered for seconds! Got #1 plus bone marrow and #41 pork chop with eggs rice plate. Then topped it off with Vietnamese coffee for the long drive home. I barely drank half and feel the jitters already so drink in sips, people! Then again I recently cut back on coffee which doesn't help but you have been warned if you don't drink coffee routinely. What stood out extra was the amazing customer service. It's family owned and operated and we felt at home as if we were their home guest! They were extremely attentive and checked on us very often.

    I've found a pho that breaks my heart (because I don't live in Fresno and can't have this pho every…read moreday for the rest of my life.) This pho has a deep, rich, and flavorful broth, with a generous amount of meat. Our server encouraged us to melt some of the marrow into the broth, resulting in a silky and decadent soup. It is easily one of the best phos I've had in America, hands down. All of the staff is super friendly, and I never felt like I was waiting for too long to put in an order or get a refill. The ambiance is what you expect from a typical pho spot - no frills, just damn good food. I'll be dreaming of this spot phoever.

Located in the Barnyard shopping center this Vietnamese restaurant is a little dated, but don't let the decor deter you. The food is in incredible! I ordered a large bowl with thin sliced meat balls along with spring rolls for the table. First off, I should've gotten a small bowl of pho, the large bowls here are massive. I had plenty of leftover for the next day and the day after! The broth was delicious with deep rich flavors and the noodles were slightly al dente, which I loved. I couldn't help myself and active point picked up my bowl and just started sipping the broth. My wife ordered the same thing as I, minus the meatballs and she too, could not get over how much flavor the broth had, almost like they had been slow cooking this for the past three days straight. The spring rolls were 100% handmade and the filling inside was delicious. We did bring our kids with us and we're definitely nervous because they are very picky eaters. They do offer a kids menu, but there isn't much to it. It's basically rice broth and your choice of meat. We ordered my 4-year-old daughter a small bowl of rice with broth and chicken; she loved this and kept asking for more! My son (7) went big and ordered pho with squid... he inhaled everything! Even asking if we could order more squid on the side to which we did and he ate that as well. This was huge win for mom and dad, now we can do pho to the family dining out rotation. This is a family own restaurant and the staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. Branden, our server, help to answer any questions and was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed!

I love the peacefulness of the interior, the quick ordering process to receiving of food, and I love the flavor of the different broths I have tried. The reason for 3 stars: We have been here a few times, and were told by a server that seating was self-serve. We have practiced this each time coming in, but today after sitting at the only clean table(with some to be cleared off) a couple came over to the empty table and stared at us pretty weirdly before a server rushed over and told us to move because its for them. Not sure what happened before us coming in, but that energy was incredibly off putting. I hope we feel comfortable enough to come back.

You can taste the depth, richness, and care that goes into it. It's incredibly flavorful without being overpowering, comforting without feeling heavy, and perfectly balanced every single time. Seriously, this is the kind of pho you crave constantly after trying it once. Their pork belly banh mi is honestly my favorite in the world!!! The pork belly is perfectly tender with just the right amount of crispiness, the bread is fresh and crunchy, and all the flavors come together perfectly. I've tried banh mi from so many places and nothing compares to this one. The dipping sauce ! Are you kidding me?!! And the ban xeo? Absolutely to die for. Crispy, savory, packed with flavor, and paired with fresh herbs and dipping sauce that take it to another level. Every bite is perfection. On top of the incredible food, the atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and comfortable. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. The owner walks around and greets all the guests, like who does that! They make you feel like family. They also have a full bar, which is such a great bonus, and their lychee drink is my personal favorite! It's refreshing, delicious, and the perfect pairing with the meal.

One of the few to have an open bar as well. I ordered the 2nd option Pho on the menu along with an iced Vietnamese coffee which plus tip, came out to $36. Food: Their Pho broth is one of the best I've had. I've eaten at many places in the Bay Area and Orange County and this one wins hands down. Broth had the right amount of saltiness where I didn't need to add much. And you can actually taste the spices which I'm pretty huge on. Big flavor bomb indeed. Cons: My only knock is skimming on the noodles and meat. For $18, you do pay a little higher than most places. I'd definitely pay that for the quality alone but felt shorted. Customers are smart, they pick up on things all the time. I just wish this was improved and this place easily gets a 5 star. Definitely will be one of my new go to places for Pho in town!
