This will always by my go to spot! My daughter and I both prefer it to any of the others... New or old. Absolutely love Aom and Nick (the owners) and the staff is always great here! The Hokkaido with less ice, 50% sugar, and with coffee jelly is my standard order. It's so good I can't see that ever changing...and I sure hope I never have to change it up.

Today I visited with my boyfriend and upon first walking in, I knew I wanted a matcha latte, but…read moresince it was cold outside I wanted it to be hot. I asked the server if he could add the extra cream topping to it and he was very accommodating. It's not typical for someone to order that so he made sure to let me know that he wanted to know how it tasted My boyfriend ordered the Red Dragon tea and we both bought pins (which you pull at random from a box for 3 bucks each) and he really enjoyed it! My hot matcha latte with crème brûlée cream was really good as well and incredibly sweet, I think I will order something similar to it when I come back. Overall, the service was great, the drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Biggest disappointment was that while alcohol options showed on the menu, they were unable to serve any alcohol - claiming that their liquor license had not yet been renewed. I was craving a spring roll with peanut sauce, so to start things off, we ordered #90 Bo Bia steamed spring rolls with shredded shrimp, carrots and sausage served with plum sauce (see picture). While the wrap was thicker than the 'paper' wraps that I'm used to, they were very good - and I really liked the plum sauce. My wife was undecided and our very helpful waiter Archie, suggested #69 Com Ga Chien Xa Ot (chicken breast fried with spicy lemon grass - see picture). It was good, but both of us would have preferred a bit more spice, as we ended up adding Siracha at the table. I was considering #99 Banh Xeo Vietnamese style crispy pancake stuffed with shrimp, pork & veggies based on the menu picture, but Archie talked me into #97 Banh Tam Bi Xiu Mai udon noodles with shredded pork, steamed pork meatballs and veggies instead (see picture). I was impressed with the coconut milk and lemon sauce that he poured over it when served with the instructions to stir it all together - very tasty combination of savory, sweet and tart, with a very slight spiciness.

Steak, potatoes, pork meatball, sausage, & Swiss cheese with a fried egg, the flavors of everything were on point & the steak was cooked perfectly. Oh & the drinks... can't forget the drinks! The taro smoothie & milk tea are BOMB! The sticky rice match was also great. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for something new & absolutely delicious.
