------------------LOCATION: 5/5----------------
The location where Mr. Dumpling is at is one of the prime locations in this area. If you're checking it out here, there's paid parking outside.
--------------------FOOD: 2/5-------------------
I got the Matcha Milk Tea with Lechee Pearls and I would say that it was okay. I'm not a fan of the pearls.
Although, I originally wanted the Milk Tea with Pearls but they ran out of about half of what was on the menu, unfortunately and that was the only thing they had available.
I deducted points for unavailability for my tea, for my pearls, as well as the lechee pearls. Not a fan.
The cups were cute though, it looks reusable. They should use an incentive that if people bring back their cups, they get a discount. Could pose a hygiene-risk, but I'm just trying to be environmentally friendly.
-------------------SERVICE: 4/5------------------
The woman in the front seemed like a really nice person and I could see she had a lot going on, especially for a new business that just opened about 7 weeks ago (as of this writing).
We waited about 10 minutes for our boba, which seems a bit long but I think with time, the process and skills of being served will be better.
-----------------ATMOSPHERE: 4/5---------------
I like how small and quaint it is. However, I can see how it can be a bad thing since there's only a handful of tables and people might have to wait longer to be seated.
--------------------PRICE: 4/5--------------------
I would say the price is average to what other restaurants charge boba. Total for two including tax was around $13.
=============OVERALL: 3.8/5.0===========
I understand it's a new business. I believe that once they're able to stock up so they don't run out of tea and pearls, they could be a neighborhood favorite.
But as of now, a 3.8 is what I would rate them.
Although, my partner and I are keen to come back! read more
