    Street corn
    Joey M.

    Wanted something quick and yummy, so a trip to Tealux was in order. Haven't been there in a while, so thought it would be a good idea to pop in. Decided on take out because it was so cold inside. Odd because I was in there in November and it was freezing inside then. The street corn was yummy but it didn't have the floss on top like it normally does.

    Crepes

    Love this place! The design is very modern and clean. I'm so happy they introduced crepes into their desserts. It was tasty and very big

    Bulgogi \ Banh Mi Bo Nuong
    Casey P.

    Stopped by Tea Lux Cafe for a lil boba break and boyyy... this place is a must-sip spot. I ordered the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with boba and physically said "mmm" out loud like I was in a food commercial. Easily one of the best brown sugar flavors I've ever had. Rich. Creamy. Life-changing. Because I make reckless (and delicious) decisions, I also tried the New Blueberry Matcha Latte -- kinda like if blueberry pie and matcha had a sweet little baby. A bit sweet for me, maybe because I didn't give it a full mix... or maybe because I needed to add boba. Either way, still vibed with it. Grabbed some food to-go but peeped the vibe inside -- super cute, perfect for laptop warriors and remote work fam. Ordering at the kiosk was easy, and staff were super helpful if you had questions or just looked confused (me, always). Food-wise I picked from staff's favorites: Spicy Bulgogi Banh Mi (with egg) -- Solid crunch. Flavor was decent, but could've used more bulgogi. Will definitely go extra spicy next time. Fried Buttered Corn -- crunchy, buttery, and served with sausage. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Fun to try, but next time I'd probably go for the popcorn chicken instead. Final verdict: Come for the drinks -- I'll be sprinting back to try the whole menu. ‍ Food was decent -- a quick, easy spot for a light bite while you sip something fun.

    First walking in, it was heavily decorated with suede-like chairs (maybe initially a good idea but now covered in stains). There was a game table in the middle for people to play board games. I was looking for an authentic Vietnamese place with some good street food but this was not it. First, all of the food was pretty expensive, especially with the banh mi being so small. Second, it took a really long time for them to make the food. Bánh mì đặc biệt 3/10 The bread was a regular baguette and was not made of the typical banh mi bread. There was no flavor and was quite bland. The sandwich was also extremely small and over priced at almost $8 Bot chiến 7/10 This was pretty good and had all of the components one would expect. The only downside was there wasn't much papaya and it was expensive at $10 Boba 7/10 This was a little too sweet and a bit over priced at $7 for a large Overall, the place did not deliver and was very Americanized. As a Vietnamese person, I've been struggling to find Vietnamese food on both sides of the peninsula. I like that they had bot chien but that was it.

    Bubble teas including Jasmine Tea and Red Thai Tea.

    Delicious bubble teas, bahn mi sandwiches and popcorn chicken!! We ordered ordered 4 bubble teas, a couple sandwiches, and two popcorn chicken so we had to wait a bit for the food but it was worth it. The sandwiches are small but tasty! The jasmine tea with passionfruit bubbles really hit the spot on a hot day!

    Tealux is my go-to boba spot, specifically the Tidewater location for its cleanliness and cute interior. Friendly service can be a hit or miss here, but you can also opt to order at their self-serve kiosk. I have not tried the food at this location, but the crepes look very appetizing and I will try them in the future. The tea never disappoints!

    Not gonna lie, I really love this place! I always come here with friends to try out new drinks and see what ends up being our new favorite on the menu. They've got a couple of fun games too my friends and I played Jenga while chatting, which made the experience even better. The service is always super nice and welcoming, and the drinks are pretty solid. I especially enjoyed the new ube latte definitely worth trying!

    Taro Bubble Tea
    Fina K.

    This place has got to be one of my favorite Banh Mi sandwiches. Plus they are reasonably priced. Along with their drinks. What makes the sandwich speacial is that they make there own "pate" that they spread inside the sandwich. Also they toast the nice french crunchy bread plus they can adjust the level of heat in your sandwich. I ordered the Bulgogi sandwich which is my favorite! Alot of flavor and the meat is always juicy. Also ordered the Taro bubble tea to top it off! Haven't found a better Bunh Mi yet in the area. I at least go hear once a week, so you might catch me. Did I mention the service was great and decore very stylish. Definitely a place you will always go back too!

    Mango Milk

    I've been a Tealux customer since their opening weekend and always make it a point to stop by if a friend asks to meet up there or if I'm in the area. I've enjoyed all the drinks I've tried, but their boba has always been a bit too sweet for me (and I like sweet). Sometimes it comes to the point where it feels like the brown sugar flavor from the boba slightly overpowers the flavor from the tea. Either way, I really enjoy their drinks, and since they do have a variety of toppings, I might start opting out for a jelly topping next time for a more balanced sweetness. Recommend taking advantage of their rewards program and app!

    Strawberry smoothie w/tapioca.  Need I say more?
    Damien J.

    On the way back to Newport News, Sophia convinced me to stop here for a treat. We first came here via Yelp's 7.57 deal almost 2 years ago where I had milk tea and a sub sandwich. We have been to the Ghent location many times and always enjoyed their selections. So after leaving Always Latte from the Yelp Experience event close by, this stop had to end the Norfolk trip on a high note. Or did it? We were greeted by the staff upon walking in and there were a few people seated. They were quite busy with orders, which is a great thing. And like before, the vibe was welcoming. Can't ask for anything more. At first, I wasn't gonna order anything since I already had dessert. But you know what? Why not order something?! So I went on ahead and chose a strawberry smoothie at 50% sugar with tapioca balls added. I gotta admit this was very good. And quite honestly, the best item I've had from Tealux Cafe. This smoothie was packed with flavor and you can never go wrong with tapioca. This right here kept me satisfied during the drive home. You know I'll be back here the next time we're in the area. Till next time :)

    Tealux Cafe is one of the cutest milk tea cafes I've visited. Everything is bright and sunny. They have two locations around Norfolk, and according to their website, they will be opening another one in Virginia Beach. I like Tealux because other than milk teas, they also serve macarons, popcorn chicken, Banh Mi Sandwiches, and other Vietnamese street foods. I always order Thai Tea, and it is delicious. Their Banh Mi Sandwiches are delicious and a must-try. The price is reasonable and their staff is friendly and nice. If you are a milk tea lover, TeaLux should be on your list.

    Spotless, with plush chairs that would not look out of place with the addition of large googly eyes. Staff is very helpful and pleasant. First timers should try the macarons, which are packaged in appropriately adorable cellophane bags so cute you'll be tempted to keep them when when the cookies are gone. I recommend the lemon which cuts the super-sweetness of the bubble teas. This location also has a selection of boxed games to play while you wait. HOWEVER, be prepared for prices that seem quite high for what is essentially tea and cookies. I paid over $16 for a small cold tea and 5 macarons roughly the size of an Oreo. Good, but I'm not sure if it's $1.60 each good. That being said, the macarons were nice and chewy and flavorful. I tried it on a whim, but I don't know if I'll come back.

    Tealux is such a cute spot to satisfy a boba or nice tea craving! I went with my little sister because we were in the mood for a nice cold drink & boba sounded delicious! When you walk in you do have an option to either order on the kiosk or from someone behind the counter! I watched them carefully make our drinks! My sister had the oat brown sugar boba drink. She rated it a 8.7/10! She said it had a nutty taste, which she enjoyed! The tapioca balls were nice too! I had the Luna with was a jasmine tea with lychee! It was delicious! I am definitely going to make this my go to drink when I'm in the area!! I rate this a 9.1/10! The service was good! The staff were quiet and focused, but also friendly! Check them out! :)

You can customize them as you like on the kiosk. I like how she now has rice dishes as well. Basically is turned into a pretty awesome local Vietnamese quick take out restaurant.

This place looked like it specialized in bánh mì, so we figured we'd give it a shot. The shop itself is really cute, and they also have boba drinks, which pulled me in because I love boba. I ordered a Thai milk tea along with our sandwiches. That's kind of where things went downhill. The tea tasted really artificial...like, not something I've had before, and the color was off too. It was also super sweet. My boyfriend tried it and said the same thing. For food, we split two sandwiches: he got the marinated pork and I got the roasted pork. The roasted pork was honestly disappointing--almost all fat. I get that pork has some fat, but this was excessive. Most pieces were barely meat, and the texture was just not good. I ended up picking around it just to eat something. The marinated pork was actually pretty solid. But since the other sandwich was such a miss, we basically ended up eating a marinated pork and what felt like a veggie sandwich. Overall, I think we'll keep looking for other spots when we're in the mood for bánh mì.

We were seated very quickly and ordered after a few minutes. For my meal, I ordered Cơm Thịt Gà Nướng (grilled lemongrass chicken) and a beverage of fresh squeezed sugar cane. The drink itself was really good. It wasn't too sweet and is actually good for you. Sophia drunk some and said the next time we come by, she'll order it. Great stuff indeed. The meal was very good as well. The chicken was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of veggies to go around. We got full halfway that we took it home where both still tasted great.

The banh xeo was lacking a bit of flavor and the sauce was a little on the salty side. I'm used to the filling having mung bean but it had mung bean sprouts instead. Overall the portion sizes are good the food is decent but the service needs to be worked on.

I was taken care of by the chef and she was very helpful with the menu. They have so many appetizing options on their mostly healthy, all fresh menu. I love soup, so I love that they offer several each day, with some standards, plus a soup of the day, which on the day I visited was cream of potato. Where I sat at the counter, I could watch them making all the food and I was impressed to see that they don't just ladle soup into a bowl to serve it, they actually cook and prepare, then dress it to plate it perfectly. Their cream of potato was really good and not the traditionally made where the potato is pureed into the soup - rather they make a creamy soup base and then add potatoes to it. The combo of the soup, a small piece of potato, scallion, and a small piece of bacon really made for a great spoonful in each spoonful I enjoyed!! My coworker got their Asian Chicken Noodle and that looked amazing! He said it was incredible. Next up was the entrée and we both got their lamb gyro.... It's not the traditional gyro, it's an openfaced style, just like their chicken salad toast. It was really good! The tzatziki was great on it! And we also got a side of their cucumber feta salad... this tasted fresh and the feta was vibrant, with the combo of the cucumber and feta together being incredibly tasty. Overall, another very nice visit to a Stockpot restaurant... Looks like I need to try their Chesapeake location to get the trifecta of Stockpot! Highly recommend stopping in!

The restaurant was very clean, and since it wasn't too busy, we were seated right away. The staff was welcoming and friendly. A few minutes after we placed our order, we were informed that they were out of breakfast potatoes, which was surprising since it was still before 10 a.m. This limited some of the breakfast options, so I ended up ordering the Selden Breakfast (a biscuit sandwich), a kid's chicken noodle soup, a biscuit on the side, and a lavender matcha. The sandwich was delicious, especially after adding the garlic aioli. My only complaint was that the biscuit wasn't served warm, and I think warming it would have elevated the sandwich. The biscuit we ordered on the side was also not warm. The lavender flavor in the matcha was enjoyable, but the drink itself missed the mark. The color and matcha flavor seemed off, and it wasn't mixed well--I could see clumps of matcha powder sitting in the ice. On a positive note, my nephew really enjoyed the chicken noodle soup. Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to come back and give it another try.
