I know this is a beignet place, but my 5-star review is actually for their bánh cuốn combo and…read moretheir corn milk/pandan jelly drink. The first time I had this was as takeout brought by my dad last year, and I've been craving it ever since. I didn't expect the bánh cuốn to be so delicate and silky (in the best way possible!). The combo had a little bit of everything to try. If I had to nitpick one thing, I wish they had added another or two fried shrimp--one was just not enough! Their corn milk/pandan jelly drink was sooooo refreshing. I've never seen anyone else sell this, but now I know it's a popular street drink in Vietnam. I'm too lazy to make it at home, but I might have to try now that I'm back in Virginia. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm in town!

While many people know Chez Beignets Quan Ong Tre is Is the neighborhood's only option for…read morebeignets, what many others fail to realiE they are also one of the areas best options for banh cuon. They specialize in latter as well as coffee, which is why this has remained a popular spot over the years. Decor is cute on the side of gaudy. Clientele is not the gen z type, but a lot of the middle age ones that are likely to attend a Viet concert on the weekend. Parking is plentiful but can be difficult on a weekend since it is inside of Kim Son plaza. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but The vibes inside give it a communal feel, despite being a bit crammed. The beignets are actually quite good and I would be hard-pressed to think of any other place in the Asia town area that has anything close. Each piece is fried to perfection and has a generous amount of powdered sugar on top, making for a sweet and crunchy bite. I really love their Vietnamese iced coffee, which is strong and just sweet enough to be comparable to the real thing. Banh Cuon Is smooth and silky, and is a nice option for something light but satisfying. While I don't love their fish sauce, it adds just enough to make it an essential for texture and taste. One area that I think has gotten them the most flack has been the service. I've had a fair share of miscues and misunderstandings, and even a little bit of attitude during some previous visits here. It is a combination of not paying attention and apathy most of the time. I really hope this is an area that they can address and ultimately fix.

Today's the 1st time I felt compelled to express disappointment with my order -- the Smash Avocado. As you can see from the menu, the cup is tall and filled at least 75% full even without jellies. I ordered one without jellies. I was given this small cup filled no more than 1/2 full with avocado and the rest (50% or more) was just crushed ice. The picture shows the drink as made before any eating/stirring. Even without the jellies, honestly it was way too empty/little. I swing by Kravin' (Richmond) at least 3-4x a month and the employees are always sweet; the drinks are great. I think they even know my face by now 'cause sometimes I just pull up and I'm asked, "Same thing?" Obviously I like Kravin' a lot, but I was honestly disappointed by today's visit at Chinatown.

This is an unacceptable food safety and hygiene issue, making it completely inedible and forcing me to throw it away. Additionally, there was a mistake in the preparation of my order. I ordered shrimp and pork fresh spring rolls, but when I opened the package, I received grilled pork spring rolls instead. I am deeply disappointed with this experience.

The staff were friendly and there was plenty of cozy seating. The show was very upbeat and was full of people. We easily found an area that was not only spacious, but also was a good blend of privacy and being around others. I had the coffee milk tea and it was really good. The balance of the sweetness and the strong coffee was well done. I also had the fried mushroom appetizers and they were surprisingly delicious and filling. We were there till closing, but the staff never rushed us or told us to leave. Overall, it was a great place to stop by for a quick bubble tea and snack. Would absolutely go back to try their other several flavors of milk tea!

Milk Teas For…read morequarantine adventures and to help support one of my favorite local businesses I decided to try every Milk tea at Tapioca House and review each one of them. Overall, Tapioca House milk teas are all delicious and high quality. They all have a milky thickness and leave your mouth feeling smooth and moist. A couple of my favorite teas are: Taro, Thai, Barley, Almond Coconut, Mango, and Passion Fruit but whatever you choose you will not be disappointed. Tapioca Milk Tea Jasmine Milk Tea Honey Jasmine Milk Tea Oolong Milk Tea Earl Grey Milk Tea Sweet, flowery flavor similar to horchata with a smooth and creamy texture. Leaves your mouth and throat smooth and moist.  Lavender Milk Tea  Sweet with a brown sugar or caramel taste. The lavender flavor is light and comes in as an after-taste.  Taro Milk Tea Very sweet with a flavor similar to sugar cookies or FruitLoops. The liquid feels thick and slightly powdery, similar to almond milk. This drink can be pretty  filling.    Thai Tea This tea has a smokey and sweet vanilla flavor. This is a great Thai tea. The drink is smooth and thick but not as thick as the taro milk tea. Coffee Milk Tea Very sweet with a hint of bitterness with a medium-strong coffee taste. I do not taste chickery. Barley Milk Tea This tea has a semi-sweet and slightly nutty flavor with fibrous bits at the bottom--similar to drinking the leftover milk from a bowl of Wheaties. Sesame Milk Tea Semi-sweet with a grainy texture. The tea tastes like a mix of sesame balls, oreo milk tea, and tiramisu. Honey Milk Tea Sweet but surprisingly, not super sweet. This tea is smooth and flowery with a hint of a honey taste. It leaves a very pleasant and smooth feeling in your throat and mouth. This would be a great tea for a sore throat. Almond Milk Tea Smooth texture with a flavor similar to  agar jelly. (does not taste like almonds)This tea has a very pleasant flavor, feel, and aftertaste. Coffee Jelly makes for a great topping to go along with this tea. Almond Honey Milk Tea This drink tastes very similar to almond milk tea. Surprisingly, the non-honey version is slightly sweeter. The honey version has a little less of an almond flavor.  Almond Coconut Milk Tea This drink is delicious. Typically, coconut flavored teas taste like coconut shavings while this drink has a nutty flavor like coconut oil. The drink is smooth and sweet. Hazelnut Milk Tea  This Tea is semisweet with a flavor similar to a chocolate turtle. The drink is smooth and has an average thickness. Caramel Milk Tea Very sweet. It has a strong caramel flavor with a flowery aftertaste. This tea is thin but smooth. Coconut Milk Tea Sweet with a nutty coconut oil type of flavor. It's thin and smooth. French Vanilla Milk Tea  Simi-sweet with a mild vanilla flavor with a strong flowery aftertaste.  Mango Milk Tea Very sweet. The flavor is as if Creamsicle made a mango flavored popsicle. The tea feels thick and creamy.  Passion Fruit Milk Tea Sweet with a similar flavor to mixed-berry yogurt. It has a Simi-thick creamy texture. Strawberry Milk Tea This has a sweet strawberry milk flavor which tastes like Nesquik Strawberry Milk.  Chocolate Milk Tea Sweet and chocolatey. There is also a hint of a nutty flavor. The chocolate is strong and also similar to Nesquik.  Peppermint Milk Tea This tea tastes like mint icecream. It has a strong mint flavor.  Rose Milk tea Very sweet and very strong. The flavor has a great rose taste but I recommend getting less than 100% sweetness.

We stopped by while waiting for our dim sum table nearby since we were exhausted and desperately needed some caffeine, and this place was exactly what we needed. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the sea salt coffee, and both were SO good!! They were super strong without being overly bitter, and definitely gave us the energy boost we needed. I also appreciated that the drinks came in a pretty generous size, so it felt like you were getting good value for the price. Overall, I thought this was such a solid coffee spot! If you're in the area and looking for a good Vietnamese coffee, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. I know the reviews might make you hesitant, but I'd happily come back again!

My peach tea was still a good flavor,though, I just thing that a milk tea would have paired better with all of the sinkers that go in! I came during lunar new year, so it was packed. It was VERY noisy, I felt like everyone was shouting. Very hard to hear my friend, though she was sitting near me. I got to wait in the little seating area, for my friend, though. We also got Ube and White Chocolate cookies.
