The popcorn chicken, fried tofu, and orange green tea are what I usually order. They make those very consistently so you know what to expect. It gets busy here when school kids are hanging out but if you are outside of those windows, it doesn't take too long. Service ranges from friendly to standard, so no complaints there. The one issue I have with them is they show a loyalty program in terms of entering your phone number -- if you order online as well as the register. But I've never gotten any points. I once asked the owner about it and he claimed that they do in fact give out items, and said he would check on it that night when I told him the situation. But he never actually asked my name and info, and I've still never received any points since, despite having ordered here about twice a week for the past several weeks. It's not a deal breaker but it's strange.

In addition, bubble waffles are also very delicious. It's all recommended. I ordered an asai ball for the first time today.

There is also a space to eat in the store, which is a very good place for young people to gather. In addition, I was able to place a mobile order, and I used it for the first time today, and it was very good. I highly recommend this shop. Thank you.

Most of the decor here seems lost in translation from this import from Taiwan; however, they are a drink spot that specializes in boba milk teas and fruit smoothies.

Though expensive, flavor was good and, if you like jellies, they load them up here.

My husband and I both really enjoyed the drinks. I would recommend the following: The Onyx Hojicha Milk Tea is a mix of Taiwan onyx black tea with hojicha charcoal roasted tea and house milk. It had a roasted, nutty, smoky, and creamy flavor profile. I am a big fan of how it tasted - more elevated than your typical milk tea. Brown sugar boba paired perfectly with this drink. The Oreo Uji Matcha is made with ceremonial-grade matcha imported from Japan, house milk, house cream, and crushed oreos. It tasted sweet, rich, and slightly earthy. The flavor of the oreo cookies balanced out the matcha in a good way. It was also delicious with brown sugar boba.

Overall the space was cute and had a good vibe. Pricing was in the higher end but felt appropriate for the space and the offerings. There was only one downside to the entire experience, there was an odd smell that both my friend and I noticed in the building. It was pretty off putting and we opted to take our drinks outside. My friend thought it might be an issue with the AC or the HVAC. Hopefully that issue is resolved the next time we visit. When that resolves it will be a 5 star spot.

I can't remember what topping I got based on the employee's recommendation, but it all worked well and was very pleasant and refreshing. I shared some with my husband who grew up drinking yakult and he really liked it, too. The only downside is that it was stifling inside and felt like an oven between the hot afternoon sun and no (or weak) air conditioning. Fortunately I didn't need to linger once my drink was made, and since it's just a takeaway counter, there isn't any space to sit down, anyway. Tip: The drink was quite large, and in our case, one was big enough for two people to share.

Usually this is a bad sign, been burned more often than not. Decided it was probably unwise to travel with a souffle style pancake, so opted for their other offerings.
