Plus they have an outdoor patio. My favorite menu items are the salads and burgers. The salad options are not boring. Fresh and flavorful. Burgers are fat and juicy. My fave go to is the steak & arugula salad. But on my last visit I tried their chicken wings and sushi. Yup, I know that's an odd pairing. But that's what I wanted. Then you're probably wondering... say what, sushi at a tap house?! Well the addition of sushi is new. The menu had lots of different kinds of rolls and sashimi cuts. I went for it and ordered the Wave Rider roll. The roll was delicious and substantial size. Great flavors. Beautiful plated presentation. I luved the little flower that was on the plate.

She was genuinely very friendly, had great suggestions, and checked in on us just the right amount of times through the dinner. My wife and I shared a few dishes. The nachos here were different, but really fun and flavorful. They use kettle chips and put a kitchen sink of toppings on it. It's creamy, spicy, and the meat on it is very tender. My wife loved the Berry salad, and I also enjoyed the Bahn Mi Tacos. The Bahn Mi tacos had a Korean style pork on them that was very tender and juicy. The slaw on the side added a good crunch.

I tried the char siu and meat lovers sandwiches which were both on nicely grilled Texas toast. The flavor of the char siu sandwich reminded me of cake noodle and beef broccoli because of the ramen noodles and the overall flavor of the sauce. I didn't get any of the bamboo shoots in the sandwich or maybe they were chopped really small? The char siu was decent, not super tender and not the typical char siu flavor but it wasn't bad. The meat lovers sandwich had a noticeable sweet flavor I'm assuming from the spaghetti sauce but it really lacked depth. It honestly reminded me of canned spaghetti and a sloppy joe. It also seemed like there was no ranch dressing even though it's part of the sandwiches name. I appreciate the creativity and whimsy they've put into their menu. I just don't think the execution and flavor profiles are where they should be.

I had the pleasure of visiting Vextor Boba and it was truly an incredible experience. The boba was some of the freshest and most delicious I've ever had. The tea was perfectly brewed and the boba was chewy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend Vextor Boba to anyone looking for a great cup of boba tea. read more

Their drinks are on the more expensive side. $7 for a small fruit tea; the tea wasn't super strong and it was on the sweeter side due to the syrups (the peach flavor in mine was extremely sweet and strong). I feel you'd be able to find cheaper better options if you drive a bit south. Service was prompt taking my order however waiting for my drink took awhile (30+ mins). There was only one girl working and she took everyone's orders prior to making anyone's drinks. As she was halfway caught up making drinks, more people came to order and she stopped making drinks to take their order. I didn't think this was that efficient since everyone who ordered in my batch was stuck there waiting. Overall drinks were just alright, definitely on the expensive side, but service could use some improvement. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be back unless in the area.

I love their panda boba option (it's free black boba and agar pearl) which other boba shop will charge you double topping for that. What really makes this place stand out is the variety. Not only do they have tons of drink options, but their snack selection is perfect for when you want a little something extra with your tea. I always came to get boba and can't pass out on snack, my favorite is popcorn chicken and fried tofu but other snacks are very good too. I drank their milktea mostly every week on my 2nd and 3rd trimester and now my baby is in love with boba too The owners are incredibly friendly and nice--they really take the time to make your drink just the way you like it, and you always feel a warm welcome when you walk in. The female owner is super nice and friendly. She will remember your name and check on you to make sure you like your drink. The environment is inviting, and the store is always clean and well-kept, which makes it even more enjoyable to hang out or grab a quick treat.

The interior is clean and there is one kiosk to order your drinks from, or you can talk to the singular staff member if you'd rather order in person or have questions. Their fruit teas are what I usually go for. I've tried their matcha in the past but of course it doesn't compare to the specialty matcha shops I'm used to. As with all other boba places, you can customize ice and sweetness level. They have some signature drinks and also a build-your-own section of the menu. Honestly, I mainly come here to collect their glass cups since they have different styles almost every time I've gone, and some of the themes are super cute. There aren't a ton of boba places in Folsom, and this one is in a nice location, so we will definitely continue to support this franchise.

I had to choose then one of their proteins that, although look healthy, had names that would make you think otherwise like birthday cake, mint oreo, cinnamon toast crunch? Really? I guess that is what they consider healthy in this area. Waited around looking at the pace, nicely put together but not the cleanest. Had the orange mango one.

It is made with water and a coffee powder. So if you are looking for an actual espresso drink, I would suggest NOT getting the Toffee Coffee. Since I did not come back that same day, as I was already driving home, they said that they could not remake a regular mocha for me since they said I could have drank it on my way home. Unfortunately, I hope going forward, that if someone buys a Toffee Coffee drink, they could at least be informed (on the menu board or in person) that this is not an espresso made coffee. That it is a coffee powder base made with water.
