    We had boba here on a weekend afternoon and this place is actually a very spacious and clean place to study and do work. We ordered our drinks which were quite tasty and made well, not too sweet. However the drinks were a little on the pricier side but still worth it to us given the nice ambiance.

    I appreciate peaceful environments, and the Highlands is one of them! This uniquely designed café, looks out at Rotary West Park, located at Gettysburg and First. It's 'around' the FRESNO AG building (north) near the Dollar General. A place to relax, during the day. DAYTIME hours have low playing instrumental music, clean, open seating and open until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday nights. Looks like it is set up for karaoke for the evening, so I expect a totally different atmosphere then. I tried their Biscoff Caramel milk tea and 50% sugar was plenty sweet for me! I thought it was delicious!Next time, I would get less ice in order to have more 'tea'. It was fun to eat the Labubu jelly (first the ears, then half the head, then the OTHER half of the head, etc. etc.). The tiny flan I ordered was good too. I plan to come back.

    I forgot to take a picture of our order but the food was good! I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Mini Banh Mi combo. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and not too sweet. It was really good. The banh mis were good as well. The interior's so pretty and spacious which i love! I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends!!

    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.

    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.

    Fruity drinks, good sweetness. Had to wait a while but service is very friendly. Might have to ask for sauce for popcorn chicken next time.

    Just wanted to provide an update that the drinks and food are still amazing! Basically go here almost weekly for a nice cold beverage. The owners are super friendly

    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.

    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.

    Vietnamese coffee & Egg Cream Coffee .

    Got the Thai Tea Boba, Vietnamese coffee & Egg Cream Coffee. Best Thai Tea. Coffee is STRONG. Amazing service, staff was very friendly!! Lots of seating and beautiful aesthetic. Definitely recommend.

    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.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by staffs right away and you can sit anywhere you like. Depending on time and day it does get busy so be mindful there will be a wait but you can't beat the price so it's worth it! As soon as you try their broth, you will never be disappointed! My favorite bowl is #6 it comes with rare steak, well-done brisket/flank, tendon and of course the noodles! I also like meatballs on the side as well. I think this is the only place that also sells bone marrow and once they sell out for the day, they are out! it's very popular! If you love caffeine please try out their iced Vietnamese coffee too! So delicious and strong! I've had their spring rolls and just two, those things are huge and fulfilling! If I were to get a rice plate I normally go for their pork chop with eggs or even their combination chowfun! Everything hits the spot and I always leave satisfied. I highly recommend this place!

We were asked for our phone number told it was a 20 minute wait. We decided to walk the little shopping area and were called before the 20 minute mark. We sat down and quickly were brought ice waters with the top still left on the straw to cover it. Small details matter! We placed our orders really quickly with ease and great service. Order Pho #1 no tripe with extra noodles. The server suggested he get the large for $1.50 extra which would give more broth, meat and noodles. SOLD! Pork chop plate, sub rice with veggies and it came with eggs, sauce and broth. I have already reviewed both and both are outstanding. I came here to say AGAIN. I do not eat bones in public, but it feels MANDATORY for me here to chew on the pork chop bone! I love the perfectly caramelized, crispy bits and just can't contain myself. Thanks for another amazing experience here that includes awesome customer service, quick plating, proper orders, subbing items, and delicious food! Will I be back? Don't ask..

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. Phoever is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Fresno area and I recommend it to everyone I know.
