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!

That said, the vegetable fried rice and dumplings were both a 5 out of 5. The dumpling dipping sauce was honestly one of the best I have ever had and really stood out. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The space is on the smaller side, which was fine since we went during a slower time. We were not able to choose our table, which would have been nice, and while you are not right on top of other people, the tables are close enough that it can be hard to have a private conversation. There were a couple things that held it back. I was served a drink that was close to eight months expired. I did not make a big deal about it and still drank it, but that is something they definitely need to stay on top of. Also, the menu said Pepsi products but only Coke was available. With better inventory checks and a more updated menu, this place could easily be a five star spot. It is just not quite there yet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The interior is nice and spacious, and they were able to sit my table of 6 immediately upon entry. Our waitress was kind, but seemed to be spread thin over multiple tables, so service was a little spotty. She forgot to put in one of our orders and we didn't get the food, but I know she was busy, so it's okay! The mapo tofu was absolutely delicious - the savory chili sauce with the phenomenal texture of the pork and tofu, it was a dish I've been craving ever since I got it. The rice pairs excellently with it, as it's quite salty, and acts as a good balance to the intense flavor. The wonton soup was classic and good. Nothing super standout, but still a good appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the portions were sizable and able to be taken home for more meals later! I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and can't wait to try other dishes on their menu.

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.

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.
