    Fluffy winter melon with boba
    Jason N.

    Tried their Pudding & Q mochi Milk shaved ice - (almond pudding, caramel pudding, mini q, q mochi, melon jelly, and ice cream) this time around. 13$ for a medium, 14$ for a large I will give them kudos that their large is really, large. Can definitely feed a entire party cause wow that was a lot. I would say taste-wise, its mostly just okay. All of these jellies and puddings were fairly tasteless to us. I personally think the ice cream was probably the best part. My party got their oolong milk tea and the hot almond drink and were okay. The hot drink option is nice and a bit different and stands out compared to other neary drink options.

    Custom taro ball with sweet potato taro ball, melon jelly and sesame balls
    Michelle O.

    I got the Hot Red Bean Soup Signature. The soup was warm and had a thinner texture than I expected. They had to add the sesame rice balls, not very pliable, after I noticed they weren't in the bowl. It tasted like scoops of everything were added to the bowl with the red bean soup poured over it. If the soup was hotter, maybe everything would have been warmed through. For some reason, while I was sitting there at night, they decided to increase the volume for the music really high when everyone was just conversing quietly.

    taro shaved ice, mango sago
    Christy L.

    Meet Fresh is known for their authentic taiwanese shaved ice with fresh fruit and mochi toppings. And I'm all here for it. There has never been a dessert that I haven't enjoyed here. Most times, I get there big mango shaved ice mountain (I don't even know what it's called, but you'll see the menu pics and know which one I'm talking about). This order has never failed me. It features light, fresh ice, big and sweet mango chunks, super chewy and flavorful mochi bites that all go together so perfectly. Another one of my favorites is the cold tofu pudding dessert. For those that have never tried, it is soft jiggly tofu in a ginger soup base that is so refreshing and satisfying, espectially in the hot texas heat. Reminds me so much of my childhood summers in Taiwan. Recently, I also tried their mango sago and taro shaved ice mountain. Both were amazing and reinforced for me the eliteness of meet fresh. (I have heard that their drinks aren't good, and probably makes up for most of the supbar ratings here, but to each their own!)

    Came to this location for the first time! We ordered one of the classic ones from the menu; black sugar milky boba shaved ice, and it was really good! We requested for less sweetness and it turned out to be the perfect sweetness that we like!! We ordered L size for four of us and we ate it like nothing! Come visit and get your favorite ones! Cheers

    Meet Fresh, Houston, TX (Chinatown) Mango pamelo sago - 7/10 - Wasn't as creamy and flavorful as other sagos ive had but I loved the fresh mangos Mango loo loo - 8/10 - Very refreshing, tastes like a mango smoothie, very sweet Grapeberry milk shaved ice - 6/10 - Kinda just like a fruit yogurt bowl, wasn't a fan of the grapes Chocolate deluxe waffle - 8.5/10 - Loved this, waffle could be softer tho Black sugar boba milk tea - 9.5/10 - Boba melted in my mouth, one of the best ive had Tried another dessert spot out of many in Chinatown. My favorite thing was their black sugar milk tea , specifically because of how good the boba was. I would probably just go back for their milk tea.

    Pistachio & chocolate shaved ice - marketing scheme
    Rainie T.

    Poor service. Poor communication. Marketing scams - I think I got scammed.. I attached to show the product that I actually got - the picture on the poster is very misleading compared to what i actually got. I am so disappointed. Where are the crumbs at the top of the ice cream? The ice cream isn't even pistachio - it's literally vanilla flavor. I can't believed I paid $15-ish for this. Big scam! I may as well go to Nu Ice for a way bigger mountain of ice and way cheaper price - they use real fruit for the ice flavor at Nu Ice. I was so excited for the pistachio series but the result was so frustrating and disappointing. I pointed it out to the staffs there - they just shrugged their shoulders, and did not even acknowledge my concern that I raised. Another thing, for a place that requires napkins when people eat, why don't you guys add more napkins?

    Shaved ice tower with ice cream and bean
    Phuoc N.

    Meet Fresh is it interesting take on Taiwanese iced desserts. Seating and ordering is made easy and quick. There's plenty of tables and space to choose from. The place overall is quiet and cute with hints of minimalism meets modern. In an age where Asian Foods is highly competitive, Meet Fresh has yet to carve out a niche that beckons returning customers. We ordered a shaved ice tower nested with red bean and mochi topped with ice cream. You would expect the ice to be a nice palette cleanser and refreshing base to help with in between bites of sweet such as ice cream and red bean. But the ice cream and red bean are already overly sweet and coupled with a sweet ice base is to overwhelming for me. The staff and space is nice, but that alone is not enough for me to want to return for seconds. Still, I hope the business thrives and aligns with a pool of consumers that enjoy a more all-encompassing sweet tooth treat.

    Overall - a delicious dessert experience if you're a fan of grass jelly, mochi balls, and icecream. Food: plenty of options to choose from but be warned that they don't let you substitute stuff from the built in bowls alrdy (although you can do that at other locations). Price is kinda expensive for the portion but they r easily shareable between 2-3 ppl for the bowls. I'd recommend the double taro but put it on the side c the texture was weird. Everything else in it was good n the perfect lvl of sweetness. Service: bc it was busy when we came, it did take a bit for it to come out so maybe expect a 5-15 min wait. Atmosphere: it is a very cozy and cute vibe w all the decor. Main issue is spacing and table availability. Expect a huge wait for an open table bc if it's busy, every spot will probs be filled up. Liked how there was some games you could play with. Would recommend for family, friends, or date outings. Warning: parking can get very hectic so be aware of limited parking spots.

    Mango and strawberry shaved ice; Black Sugar Boba Milky Shaved Ice
    Harshath G.

    I came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. The place is very casual, order-at-counter type of place, and the service is also to pick up your order athe counter. If you have a group sharing, you could get some smaller bowls to share. I tried the mango and strawberry shaved ice, which had a nice fruity flavor, and the black sugar boba milky shaved ice which satisfied both the shaved ice and bubble tea cravings in one. Both were large, with a scoop of ice cream placed on top. I came with a group of 6 and there was plenty of room to sit, and we shared 3 total items. I really enjoyed the shaved ice here and the variety of flavor options!

    Q mochi and caramel pudding + Thai iced tea
    Henry B.

    Came on a wed night for dessert. Food 4.5/5: got the Q mochi and caramel pudding and the Thai iced tea. The mochi was a little on the firmer side, quite tasty. The pudding had great texture and wasn't too sweet. Wished the sweetness of the iced tea could be changed but otherwise was great. Ambiance 3/5: fairly clean, brightly lit. Very casual setting. IKEA style furniture with haphazard chairs placed around Value 4/5: decent price for the dessert amount and quality Overall 3.9/5: overall a good experience, would come back if I'm in the area to try other options

    strawberry mango shaved ice
    Vian N.

    I love meet fresh! Their taro balls are insanely soft and squishy, paired with the refreshing grass jelly is a top tier dessert. their shaved ice is more on the icy side than snow-like, but yummy nonetheless!

    Passion Fruit Green Tea
    Matthew O.

    Solid place in Chinatown to come to for a good boba tea. In the crazy heat of Texas summers, this is a welcome place to go to. Ordering was quick and efficient. I got the Passion Fruit Tea and enjoyed the good balance between tea and fruit juice. It wasn't overly sweet, and I loved the added texture provided by having actual passion fruit included in the tea. Parking is hard to come by here, so just be sure to drop by during a less busy part of the day :)

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Kayla P.

    I love meet fresh! We got the Icy Grass Jelly Signature which is taro balls (my personal fave), grass jelly, on ice (with brown sugar syrup or sweet syrup?), and comes with a creamer to pour on top. I also like the strawberry/mango milk shaved ice! The line sometimes gets long during peak hours but I think it's because there were only 2 workers. A lot of space to sit, eat, and chat with friends. They also call your number order out on a machine and you go get it from the counter. You also clean up after yourself (returning trays to a certain area, bowls, etc.) It's also on the same strip as a lot of restaurants, cafes, and other dessert spots. Parking close might be an issue but there's a parking garage/lot walking distance from it. I used to go to snowy dessert bar but it closed down so I go to meet fresh more now with my friends/family. Highly recommend if you're in the area :)

Cafe 101 serve Japanese and Chinese food. There are table and booths inside as well as a full bar. We started with a couple of sushi specials... bluefin toro and Uni. Thought the bluefin toro were fresh as well as the Uni. Wasn't expecting so was pleasantly surprised. For our mains, we ordered the twice cooked pork and beef galbi. Both came as a set... with rice, side dish of pickled radish and carrots and dessert. Price-wise, it was reasonable considering it came as a set. Twice cooked pork hits the spot. It was plenty and had some to go. Galbi was decent... it's not like Korean Galbi. It was pretty saucy, sweet and tender. It was decent portion as well. Think we found our new late night spot! Look forward to trying out the rest of their menu in the future. :-)

The lounge like ambiance, along with their diner-like menu, is a major selling point for folks and has been one of the reasons for their popularity over the better part of the last two decades. It is a bit trendy and plays music that you would think of and in a Miami lounge or a pretentious New York Club. While service is not their strong suit, the clean bathrooms, spacious seating, and semi-open kitchen makes up for some 'tudes from the staff. The menu is most definitely Asian, but blends from a predominantly Chinese menu and featuring various Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese items. The latter includes sushi, which is likely one of the only spots in the neighborhood that still has it after midnight. They have bluefin tuna and sea urchin, in which Cafe 101 is one of the only late night spots to offer it. Their beef chow fun is nice and greasy, but filled with excessive onions, bean sprouts, and various other veggies that almost take away from the noodles and beef (which was nicely cooked). Their shrimp and egg came in a nice set, which was a good surprise and surprisingly well executed. This is also a spot for Japanese curry, and even though it's not the best, it most certainly does the job. Taiwanese popcorn chicken is on point, cumin lamb is unsurprisingly spicy, and Singapore chow mai fun has a tinge of solid wok hei. (#1) I'm genuinely not a fan of their soups and think the sushi rolls are not their best work. While they also have milk, tea options, unless one is desperate, I would also steer clear of. Parking in the early evening can be an issue at Don Huang Plaza, but after 11pm, the parking options should be abundant. I would consider coming here in a larger group, especially with late night owls. ___________ (#1) Wok's essence (鑊氣)

    So glad to hear that one recently opened up in Houston. Would LOVE to take my cousins here one day…read more Environment/Atmosphere - Super crowded when we got here, but the lines moved fast, and there was a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait in line for the cashier. One of my favorite things was how fragrant the space smelled while I waited for my boba. You could tell there was an exceptional tea aroma lingering despite all the cream and sweetness. The place was exceptionally clean for being so busy, and the workers consistently cleaned as they made the drinks, so you knew you could trust the sanitation here. Drink Design - I have to make a separate comment on how CUTE these drinks were. I loved the intentional sticker placement over the lips and the little carrying handle. You could tell they went the extra mile to make these drinks not just flavorful, but an experience in and of themselves. Even their receipt paper felt luxurious. That sounds ridiculous to point out, but the thought behind every aspect of this place is impeccable. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had today, this lemony drink hit the spot with its perfect tartness. The cream had bits of lemon zest in it, adding to the aroma. I tried to adjust the sweetness when I ordered and was told it had a built-in sweetness, but if I found it too sweet, they would happily switch it out for another drink. I felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy--and luckily, the drink was perfect, so no return was needed! Creamy Mango Tart - Literally like the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much and really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of BOTH tarts. Instantly a fan favorite. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my favorite because it was a bit too creamy after everything else I had today. Still, I loved the tea profile and can absolutely see why others would love it. Overall, I love, love, LOVE this place. 1000/10. From the experience to the quality and intentionality behind every little detail, I couldn't be happier with my visit. I never thought I'd ever say that a drink was so Instagram-worthy, but these drinks were beautiful--like models of the boba world. Would go back in a heartbeat. This has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

Sweet, creamy, and the mascarpone filling was light and not too heavy despite being sweet and indulgent. I'm excited to try the other tiramisu varieties :D I like how the tiramisu comes in its own container instead of scooped into a takeout box because it's a lot less messy + prettier when eating it. Service was really friendly and there is self-serve water available too. Lots of tables for two but they were all taken during my visit. There's a little table outside in the shade if you're willing to sit in the heat. Overall, 4.5 stars for the tiramisu-- will be back to try some more!
