Normally I think this is a good place to get bobba, but today I had a horrible experience. I was on…read moremy way to throw out the garbage and wanted to stop by before they closed. I saw a family of 5 walk into BBK right in front of me and I knew I would have a minute to throw away the garbage before ordering. I threw away what I needed to and by the time I returned the family was still ordering. It took them and few minutes to wrap up and pay and when they finished I stepped up to order and the employee told me they were closed. She had just taken an order 10 seconds ago, the doors were unlocked, and I had been waiting for 2 minutes behind them. Not to forgo, the employee and I made eye contact while I was in line and she did not mention that she would not be servicing me- just let me stand there waiting and then told me she wouldn't help me once the family had finished. I work super close and getting bobba is always a treat. Today I was bringing it over to a friend who I hadn't seen in a few months, and I was very excited. Now, I'm upset and feel disrespected.

I visited Happy Lemon on a rainy Saturday afternoon. There was one other person in front of me but…read morethe staff seemed really busy with other orders so it took a little bit to get my order in. A line was quickly forming but the employees seemed to manage it well. Once I did place my order I only had to wait a few minutes for the drink to come out. I ordered an iced Classic Boba Tea and thought it was really good! I'm excited to come back and order some other items on their menu. They had a decent amount of seating too so it would be a good spot to sit and enjoy your drink with friends. I enjoyed my experience here and would recommend it to others.

Each of us ordered a slice of crepe cake, which felt like a perfect way to end the night. Out of the seven slices, my husband's slice was still frozen in the middle. I walked up to the counter where two young guys were working and politely asked if we could get a different slice, since everyone else was already seated and eating. Instead of acknowledging me, they immediately started speaking Chinese to each other without even a simple "one moment" or any indication they were discussing the issue, so I eventually just walked back to our table. About five minutes later, after they had apparently consulted with a woman in the back, one of the guys finally came over and told us they would not exchange the slice because my husband had already tried it. We were all just sitting there, honestly dumbfounded. A basic level of customer service would have been to apologize and swap one slice of cake, especially when you have a whole group there to celebrate. You didn't just refuse to replace a frozen slice of cake--you lost seven customers over the way you handled it. We will not be coming back.

This time around the service was really fast. What we got: Pop corn chicken (4/5) Wayyyy better than the first time i had it. You can actually taste the marinade and the meats are tender. Green tea w/ lychee jelly (3.5/5) Your typical green tea drink. Milk tea w/ pudding (4/5) Good drink; 75% sugar level was perfect! Overall its a nice boba spot that over varieties of drinks and snacks.

My friend and I were looking for any new place to hang out, then we found One N Half Lab where they…read morehave a good selection of boba tea and Taiwanese street food. My friend was a big fan of boba tea, and I missed Taiwanese street food badly, so we just decided to try out this place. We showed up right after they opened their door. I am a low tech person, but I found their ordering kiosk was easy to use. We ordered two meals, Taiwanese sausage bento and Beef noodle soup, that came with drinks. One interesting we noticed is that each meal selection came with different drink options. When we ordered Taiwanese sausage bento, there's an option to order a drink at a cheaper price, but no old fashioned black tea, so we ordered milk tea. However, when we ordered beef noodle soup, there's no milk tea option but old fashioned black tea. We thought all the add-on drink options were the same, but they weren't. We then got milk tea and black tea from the add on options since it's much cheaper. We also ordered blood rice cake and the braised combo. There were a few tables in the store. When we were there, not too many people were there, so we just picked up a table. The food came very quickly. During the lunch time, around noon to 1 pm, the entire place was packed. After that, most people just came to pick up something and left. The food was very delicious and was authentically Taiwanese food. The blood rice cake was southern Taiwanese style. I wish they also had northern style that would wrapped with peanut powder. The braised combo was very tasty. I guess it was cooked in the sauce for a long time. The beef noodle soup was really good, and they could add picked mustards for free. My friend and I had a lot to chat, so we stayed in the store until they closed. Nobody ever tried to kick us out simply because we had stayed too long. We had a good time there, enjoying the food and the drinks. I am sure that we will come again soon.

Lu rou fan bento - "Braised Pork Belly" (4/4) The portion size is generous and includes all the elements you'd expect from authentic Taiwanese lu rou fan, or braised pork rice. The fresh vegetables, including pickled radish and cabbage, are tasty and pair nicely with half an egg, tofu, and corn. The dish lacks some of the bold Taiwanese flair I was hoping for, but it's still a solid meal. Popcorn Chicken (4/4) Freshly made and served piping hot, the popcorn chicken has a nearly perfect batter with a light, tender crust. However, the chicken itself is slightly dry. Traditionally, this dish is served with fried basil and optional chili powder for extra spice, but neither was included. Iron Buddha Milk Tea (5/5) I ordered this with 50% sweetness, and it tasted amazing! It was slightly creamy, with a well-balanced milk-to-tea ratio, a wonderful aroma, and a subtle tea aftertaste. Milk tea can be quite pricey these days, so it was refreshing to find such a delicious one for only $5.25.

I came on a hot day and was offered a nice cup of iced water with lemon. The service was quick and friendly. I had the Jenny Special with no onions and they nailed it. The beef was medium and the pho was served with a side of fresh basil and blanched bean sprouts; a very nice touch. The broth was delicious. The condiments deserve some praise as well, the chili oil is a nice touch and the Chin-Su is a bonus for those who love to dip. The portion is huge and there was enough meat to last until the very end of my meal. I will be back, maybe even tomorrow.

I haven't enjoyed the ramen, apps, or the rice bowls, but the sushi is great for Issaquah and the portions are generous for the price. It's been fun to watch the business grow into the three buildings and food truck and I appreciate how it's always clean. I also like that the menus are printed(!) and that the service is attentive but not overbearing. I have a soft spot in my heart for this place and it's one I'll come back to. I recommend the orenji dragon for a non-traditional roll (which I think are their speciality!)

Now that we were in Issaquah, we were craving poke and I wanted to come here as they had less reviews than the other poke places around Issaquah. As we walked up to the entrance, I did notice the food safety sign and was a bit nervous about the low rating especially with an establishment that deals with raw fish. Once we entered inside, there was one customer making his order. They have a digital menu on big screens or a brochure menu near the cash register. We placed our order which was two large bowls. I got salmon, chicken and shrimp but the man misheard me and put in tuna instead of the shrimp. Now I would have stopped him but he placed the salmon and tuna into a metal tin and put spicy mayo on it before I could stop him. I do like that they marinate it fresh as soggy foods make me gag. I got half salad and white rice with my order as well as a bunch toppings to go with it and everything was pretty good! I was very happy with my bowl but my biggest complaint is that I didn't like that the rice was really hot as it was a weird feeling to eat cold toppings, proteins and salad with hot rice. I feel that if you are better off putting it in the fridge and enjoying it later. I didn't have that option as we wanted to eat out. The service here was very friendly and professional. We were served by a kind man who welcomed us the moment we walked in and when we left, he bid his a kind farewell. The inside was nice and had a couple tables and chairs for people to enjoy their meal and they offer free water to have with your meal. They had nice soft pop covers playing in the background and the space looked clean. Overall a great poke spot!

My first impression, the place was clean and bright but as I sat down with my foods, there were multiple fruit flies circling around my table which really turned my appetite off. One of the flies even landed inside my vermicelli bowl. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli bowl. Priced at $11, which was decent. The veggies were fresh and added a nice crunch. The grilled pork was disappointing, flavors were off. The fish sauce was also not the same ones I normally get at pho restaurants. Overall, the food taste is not for me. The service was friendly.
