    It was very clean and quiet when we went. Since it was so hot out, we both opted for the fruit teas. I got mine with mango popping boba and my sister got a different topping. The mango boba went very well with the passionfruit tea. The cups they use are pretty thick and feel sturdy. Our drinks came out shortly after we ordered and the people working were friendly and helpful in finding a good pairing for tea and topping.

    Love this location! The interior is bright and welcoming. Love the addition of the games for guests to play. Perfect place to study, or meet with friends. The drinks are phenomenal-highly recommend the grape tea. The Korean corn dogs were a hit with the kids as well. Impeccable customer service as well! We will most certainly be back!

    Cute spot with many choices of Boba tea drinks.  You can customize the sugar level and ice % which it's nice.

    Cute spit with many choices of Boba drinks. I like how we can customize the sugar level and ice %z.

    Great ambiance! Loving the whale motif and great selection of teas! I know the kids will be congregating here for study sesh and refreshments! Convenient location and seating is plentiful for now...

    Very cute spot to grab some boba tea with your friends! They have a selection of board games to play while you dine in. Love that they have kiosks to quickly put in yourorder, but also you have the option to order at the register if you prefer. The staff are friendly and professional, and the cafe is clean! They also have crepe cakes, korean corn dogs, mochi donuts, and French macarons! I'll be coming back next time with my daughter to try out their other desserts :)

Felt bad, but we made sure to put in our order, eat without making a mess, and leave. They have a sneeze guarded area where you can see all the options for the poke bowls, but you have to order everything at the kiosks. Make sure to scroll all the way down on your selections to see all the options/toppings. FOOD: ~Poke Bowls: I got the 2 protein option and my husband got the 3 protein option with rice. The salmon and tuna was solid (they were cubed), and the spicy tuna was the chopped and dressed type. The flavor and texture of the spicy tuna was good. ~Toppings: they have a bunch of different options for toppings where you can choose as many as you want, with only a few of them having a surcharge. ~~the ones we got were cucumber, edamame, green onion, ginger, crab salad (shredded kani), seaweed salad, garlic crisp, roasted seaweed, and fried onions. Everything was good ~Sauce (you can choose up to 2): got the standard sriracha mayo which was tasty ~Shrimp Shumai (3.5/5): standard - note they were deep fried ~Shrimp Tempura (4/5): solid - very crispy and good sized shrimp ~Thai Tea (3.8/5) with boba (2/5): thai tea had good flavor and just creamy enough. The boba was not good though. Overall, this place was good and better than I expected.

Sushi and boba in the same place, yes please!!! Was greeted so cheerfully when I walked in and the lady ( I will get her name next time) who took my order was just so kind, hospitable and helpful when going over the menu...In the end, I opted for the salmon roll and Matcha boba.. Now for the real real!!! Now when it comes to Boba, I generally stick to my regular flavors; Taro, Thai, Jasmine or Oolong so I didn't have any expectations for the Matcha.. but let me tell you, that was the best Matcha Boba tea I've ever had!!! size wise, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness.. already off to a great start. Now, when the salmon roll came, I was surprised at how big those pieces were. It was the most amazing salmon roll.. after the first bite. I was thinking about how I wish I would've gotten another sushi, but it was just the perfect amount for my appetite and it made for such a great light meal. This place is a 10 out of 10 for me!!! Note* I forgot to take a picture of the Matcha Boba, but just know it was so well made!

Food: The tropical roll was great! I loved the flavor combination and the coconut sauce! Yum! The chicken wrap was the food item I didn't enjoy and the main reason was that they used mined chicken. I feel like at least cubes of chicken or strips would be preferred. Also the chicken has no flavor. Grill it up or something! The other ingredients were nice and fresh but the chicken was very off putting. Ordering online was easy and I loved how they had the option of them delivering it to your car. It was ready when promised and everything came as promised.

Parking in the front is only 10 min pick-up but there are parallel spots down the block for an hour. Staff is friendly but not much interaction besides over the counter and most of the orders here seem to be for to-go. For the price and portion size, food is good. Sushi is just okay, i've had more quality rolls with a lot of different fillings for the same price. Yakisoba is very good with the yum yum sauce especially the beef which is tender (my family really liked the yakisoba and I assume the hibachi and chahan is probably just as good). Shumai appetizer honestly tasted like they just steamed them from frozen. Drinks are self-service they just hand you a cup for fountain drinks and water.

The atmosphere: It's a small restaurant best suited for small groups, though there are a few tables that can accommodate larger parties. You order at the cashier and they bring the food to your table. There's also a self-serve drink station, and they provide free water cups that you can refill. The food: We started with the takoyaki and chicken karaage. The takoyaki was good, but fairly standard. The chicken karaage portion was generous, and the pieces were large. The coating was lighter than what I'm used to, which kept the chicken juicy, but it did make it a bit oily. I also wished there was more seasoning in the chicken or batter since I ended up relying on the spicy mayo sauce quite a bit. For my entree, I ordered the pork katsu with rice and tonkotsu sauce. It was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. I also would've preferred a slaw instead of just a few pieces of lettuce. Portions overall were big, and the dishes are definitely shareable. The service: Service was touch-and-go, very much a fast-casual setup.

I don't know if it was a bad day but these two drinks were not worth the $24. The signature milk tea was very watered down and unsweetened and the passion fruit slush had zero passion fruit flavor. Both had very noticeable differences in color and taste. Nothing special about them and honestly such a disappointment since we were looking forward to it. I love whale tea, but are there no measurements that are followed for every drink? Having them remade isn't something that we do but it seems like that might be the most reasonable option since we do pay to enjoy them. Ease of pick up: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Drinks for today: 2/10

For the most part, it's street parking where we found a very good spot and restaurants and stores galore. Let's see how this spot turned out for us. Inside, the decor is very nice. They have a few tables inside and plenty in the outside patio. It's basically a spot that's takeout but if want to dine-in, that's totally fine. And they serve Kung Fu Tea, one of our favorite guilty pleasures that unfortunately closed near us months ago. After a few minutes, we ordered at the counter. Along with a large Strawberry Milk slush, I selected a 5 piece tender combo with a side of crinkle fries. First off, the slush was pretty good. At 50% sugar with boba pearls, it hit the sweet spot very well. It felt like old times when we used to order KFT often. But, the chicken combo itself was underwhelmimg. The food came out hot and ready, but the tenders were tough to break apart either by biting into it or with your hands if you dipped in any of their sauces. Sophia ordered a chicken sandwich and wasn't impressed, saying eating a Chick-Fil-A sandwich is better. That says a lot. I did take some home to eat for leftovers, but like earlier, could've been better. Not to put any bad press on the business, but it was disappointing. Again, it's basically a takeout spot and one for KFT admirers like us. We will come back only for that reason the next time we're around.
