Immediately I was greeted by the owner who was super polite & friendly. He had some samples he let us try, so we could make our decision. They also have a rewards card that can get stamped each time you go. They have so many different options to choose from and sandwiches available as well. I've already returned several times, hasn't disappointed yet.

The food was excellent and hit the spot after all the food the previous day. (Satisfying different taste buds). Lot of orders around the table, with drinks. They managed it really well. (Given the lethargic start to the day after Thanksgiving everywhere) Great spot.

The ramen was fantastic, but honestly, the service was even better. Everything came out super quickly, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and it was SO good. The shrimp tempura stayed crispy, the broth was flavorful, and the portion was generous. We also got the edamame, which tasted really fresh with the perfect crisp bite to it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to fully commit to the spicy garlic sauce, so I asked for it on the side... and immediately fell in love with it. We ended up dipping EVERYTHING in it, including the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a boba tea without the boba and really enjoyed it. They also got a sushi roll, and I tried some of the California roll myself. Sometimes all you want is a nice, fresh piece of sushi, and this definitely delivered. Also, points for serving the Diet Coke in a bottle. Nothing is worse than an inconsistent fountain! If we're ever back in the New Haven/Hamden area, this will absolutely be our go-to ramen spot. We'll definitely be back!

We got a hot taro drink and I heard the milk being microwaved behind where we were sitting. The taro was extremely artificial and difficult to drink through the straw. Unfortunately, after a few sips, it went in the trash. The second drink was another non caffeinated option. I liked the coconut milk, but wasn't sure about the rest of the drink. The jellies were interesting and the flavor... indescribable. I finished this drink though. I liked the ambiance but wish I could get a refund for this drink order.

I decided to get a black sesame ginger latte with boba. I got it cold with half level of sweetness as recommended by the staff. The sesame flavor was satisfyingly strong. There was just a touch of ginger flavor creating a unique well balanced infusion. Boba had a nice soft texture that was appropriate for this drink, although not the softest boba that I've come across. The shop also offered several options for Vietnamese coffee including variations like coconut. There were a few tables with seats available to enjoy the drinks inside and a plant covered wall with a neon sign (For my bes tea) for photo-ops. The store is cash free, credit card only. The best way to pay is actually through the Snackpass app where you can earn a free drink after a certain amount of purchases. I'll definitely stop by here the next time to try more!

I got my drink within 10 minutes and it was great; I like mine with less ice and less sugar. I look forward to going back to try out their ramen and poke bowls.

I got my drink, and while waiting for a second drink another older man came in and ordered at the cashier. He ended up taking our second drink, which we didn't know until his drink was ready. The guy working really quickly apologized, gave us that man's drink, and remade the proper drink for us very quickly. The jasmine milk tea I ordered was great, slightly tart (got less sweet) and the boba was a bit more firm than I'd like but not too bad! The strawberry lemon drink was a bit more lemon than strawberry but tasted great. And our extra strawberry smoothie was delicious! The cafe was cute and quiet at the time, great place to spend some time!
