Fav spot in Ithaca for boba!…read more I really like their panna cotta and creme brulee additions. I don't love my milk teas too sweet so I typically order them with less sugar. The creme brulee topping is a tad sweeter, creamier, and not quite as jelly-like as the panna cotta topping in my opinion. It's more custardy which I slightly prefer over the panna cotta one. Good flavor and topping selection!

I personally love their ramen, their build-your-own rice bowls, and their strawberry fruit green tea with strawberry boba, but that's just the beginning of what they have here. I also really like their online ordering system, because then I can just put in what I want, how I want it, and then go to the pick-up counter to get it. Wonderful for a picky eater like me! I've never eaten in the restaurant, but there is ample seating and it is always clean. Very much worth the trip every time!

There was hardly any fish in my poke bowl. My tea was okay, though I asked for 0 sugar it still tasted quite sweet. Boba was fine. A little annoying that they charge you extra for a hot tea vs a cold one. I wouldn't recommend their poke but will likely return to try another drink on their menu and perhaps pick up some of their snacks.

I am obsessed with this little place; it is a must stop for me in Ithaca. I go there primarily for…read morethe bubble tea as it uses a lot of special brew teas, and authentic style teas that do not just come from flavor powders in a bag. I have ordered so many various teas from here but specifically love the Yaxi Tea, and I always add in mochi to it as it is literally perfection. It has a full bodied, warm feeling flavor. Aside from the teas and unique toppings, they also make delicious desserts, appetizers, and poke. The desserts range from sweet to savory. Service is always fast & polite. Last visit I also ordered Jiu Niang With Egg to try something a little different. It is served hot, and is a soup with sweet fermented rice with poached eggs, red dates, and goji berries...I am still thinking about it! It is the closest in flavors, vibes, and options I have found in our larger CNY area to authentic flavors.

The layout of the restaurant in general is just the most inefficient way to get customers through (register is basically right in front of the door when you walk in so the line gets crowded even if it's just 3 people). Poor planning of design. Service was okay, nothing to write home about and the order took super long (3 drinks took about 15-20 minutes despite it not being busy at all). The taste was just as good, except my taro slush with no bubbles had fairly large chunks of ice in it. For 15-20 minutes that should have been a soup blending that thing into oblivion. I was pretty disappointed with my experience here since I've always had great ones prior.

I always loved Viatnamese food so I was eager to give this restaurant a try. We were greeted instantly when walking in the door and the restaurant gave off a warm and friendly vibe, so I knew that we were in for a good dining experience. I loved the way that our food was cooked and each of us loved our meals. Our food came out in good time and our servers were friendly. The meal was also decently priced and if I find myself in Ithaca again I could probably afford it on my own budget. I'm glad that my family gave the recommendations because we had a great experience and I would recommend it to any college student looking for a nice study break or a family coming in for a fun meal.

There are lots of drinks on the menu and most of them can be made with non-dairy milk and with the sweetness and ice levels adjusted. I had no choice but to visit them during BU move-in weekend which was the only weekend I was in Vestal and it was, as I expected, very busy. I don't usually like to order online but I did this time to save some time and that was definitely a smart move because the line was very long. I was frustrated though because I saw what I was pretty sure was my drink get prepared and set on the counter and then sit there for like 5 minutes because there was no one attending to the online order drinks. When someone made a drink for a customer that had ordered in person they would hand that drink to the customer and then immediately run back to making the next order so I couldn't ask anyone because they were always busy. I mean, it's fair that they were working hard to keep up with orders but I just wanted someone to take 5 seconds to hand me my drink.

Even when we were rushing to eat since the closing time was near, the server kept reminding us to take our time and that it was okay. She is adorable and I would honestly just go to see her again. The food was really good too. I really liked their budae jigae and takoyaki. The takoyaki was perfection -- cripsy on the outside but super soft and lava-y inside. Chapae was chewy and was so flavorful. Budae jigae was authentic and delicious. The chicken was also pretty good. Everything we had didn't disappoint. Overall, I had a really great experience! Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Ithaca

The worst Korean food I have ever had. Potentially the worst meal I have ever had (and I'm not a…read morepicky eater). My mom is Korean and my dad, though Chinese, grew up in Korea and speaks Korean fluently. Needless to say, they both know what good Asian food should be like. Well, they came here ~3 years ago and told me not to come because the food was bad. I guess curiosity eventually killed the cat... I came here with a friend and we split the tangsuyuk, sundubu jigae, and the donkatsu. Everything was horrible. Honestly, the best thing was the miso soup. The ban chan was also bad. The sundubu jigae tasted like water and the seafood was rubbery and overcooked. The tangsuyuk was dry and the sauce was too watery, nowhere near as thick as it should be. The sauce too was bland. The donkatsu was also dry and flavorless. I would not recommend at all. Please go somewhere else... anywhere else.

Extremely friendly service at K&K but the bubble tea is lacking a lot. Binghamton doesn't have a great selection with Kung Fu Tea being the best one, and a couple of other pretty good ones, and this one is kind of at the bottom of the barrel unfortunately - but having said that it's a cool hangout place and reminds me a little bit of Tea Leaf in Buffalo - but that's kind of an insult to Tea Leaf, as this place is kind of run-down and whereas at Tea Leaf you can find products that will actually please you among all the iffy stuff, this place is just a lot of bad stuff. But the employees and customers are really nice - I mean really really nice and were super hardcore hitting on me a lot. That's why I give it a good rating.
