Our most recent visit I placed an online order and got our usuals, the passion fruit slush & a…read moresignature milk tea and they were not enjoyable. I don't know if it was a bad day but these two drinks were not worth the $24. The signature milk tea was very watered down and unsweetened and the passion fruit slush had zero passion fruit flavor. Both had very noticeable differences in color and taste. Nothing special about them and honestly such a disappointment since we were looking forward to it. I love whale tea, but are there no measurements that are followed for every drink? Having them remade isn't something that we do but it seems like that might be the most reasonable option since we do pay to enjoy them. Ease of pick up: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Drinks for today: 2/10

Having an option for boba tea and other treats is great for the Peninsula. Let's see how the visit turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. The vibe inside was pretty chilled for a hot Sunday afternoon. There were only two people seated and more folks did come, but the majority came for takeout. We both ordered immediately after walking inside. My choice was Creme Brulee Oreo Milk at 50% sugar with tapioca pearls and 50% ice. As always, it was pretty good. Full of milk, pearls and Oreo. Refreshing as always. Whale Tea....delivering quality products. They'll definitely come in handy the next time we're around :)

Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

Everything menu item is fresh, packed with flavor, and made with love. It's honestly too good to share. Whenever I order from Pho 83, I order a full lineup: an appetizer, a main dish which is normally pho, and a banh mi -- an absolute must. The service is top-notch and attentive, even when they're busy. It's a quiet little restaurant with plenty of parking, though seating can get a bit tight if you like lots of space between you and others but a fresh bowl of pho is worth it. One thing I really appreciate is how the banh mi comes with jalapeños already and also the way they mix and package the perfect amount of hoisin and sriracha for takeout orders. Little touches like that (and the food) keep me coming back. ** My go to orders: * Pho Tai Nam Gau (P6) * Pho Ga (P8) * Egg Rolls (A1) * Summer Rolls (A3) * Banh Mi Bo (S2)
