I had a brown sugar boba and a taro pudding The drink was enjoyable as for the taro pudding not so much, I found a circular greenish spot on the inside of the lid which to me looks like mold, there were dark bits around the inside and when I took the time to pour it on a plate to inspect the dark dots there was a thing that to me seems like a bug but maybe its not and feel free to correct me as to what it might be, the customer service was nice and my drink was good.

It didn't survive the 7 second walk across the street. Taro and honeydew.

My favorites were the Lemongrass Chicken Wings, Chow Mein & Jumbo Salt Pepper Shrimp Their wings reminds me of San Tung wings in sf, the noodles in the chow mein has a nice bouncy texture & the fried shrimp was so crispy, I didn't have to remove the shell. Oh and the shrimp are HUGE I also heard good things about their pho. I noticed other tables around us ordered their different noodle dishes. Their drinks were yummy and I was pleasantly surprised with their options and quality of ingredients for a non Milk Tea specific establishment. The 2 women working the front were very nice & helpful. They were moving nonstop to take orders, serve tables, ring up guest, clean tables and also make drinks. The restaurant has 10-15 tables for seating and plenty of parking outside. The last point that will keep me coming back is the price. While other restaurants push towards $20 plates, QQ does a great job at keeping the menu affordable for all ages I'm sad I haven't tried this restaurant sooner.

The noodles were fresh, not clumpy at all, and very enjoyable to eat. I also asked for extra beef, and they definitely did not skimp on the portions, which was a huge plus. The spring rolls were another standout fresh, tightly rolled, and well-made. My only small criticism is that I wish the peanut sauce had a little more flavor and punch to it. Despite the restaurant being very busy, the service was efficient and the staff stayed friendly and attentive throughout. The ambiance is on the smaller side, but the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back!

Got here at 6:15 on a Sunday and there was a line and crowded with people already eating inside. Put our name on the waitlist and she said about 15 minute wait. We got called for our table within 15 mins! I ordered the regular size 5 Spice Chicken Bowl and a Vietnamese Coffee and hubby ordered the regular size Pho Combination Soup. Lots of variety from the menu. Our server was very nice. Even asked if peanuts were okay in the 5 Spice Chicken? The food was served piping hot and considering it was so crowded; especially lots of to go orders our food came quite fast. Everything was excellent and tasty, clean atmosphere and service is quick and friendly. Nice "hole in the wall" Vietnamese restaurant find for our visit here.

I was craving boba & was happy to find something in this area particularly on my way to the hotel. I mean home made boba with quality ingredients? Say lesss... I loved it so much I came back a second time before heading home that trip AND came back a third time this year with my extended family cus I knew it would hit the spot. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any drink. You can customize the sweetness level and pick from a variety of flavors. I did the giant lemonade for the aunties in the car and it was GIANT lol, it was enough for all 3 of them and my daughter to share. I was honestly surprised to read a few negative reviews because WHAT? The first time I ordered some egg rolls I mentioned to the staff that I think it might have been a bad batch because my daughter and I thought it tasted spoiled maybe? And she immediately addressed the situation and apologized and was truly worried. She told me I got you, the next time I come back but I told her I was from the Bay and she mentioned they moved from the 209. She also ensured us that they make it fresh in house and surprised me and gave me a FRESH new order even though I initially declined. This is a family owned business and they let me feel like family too. I tried the pandan cake on my second trip on the way home and ughhh sooo good. I wasn't gonna do it but I heard another customer come in saying she comes in just for that and I knew I had to try it. It has the perfect sweetness, a little dense but still soft and fluffy. The icing wasn't overly sweet. I'd take a whole cake for my birthday lol. I think I also read another review talking about the donuts being raw? Idk, but it sounds like this person has never had a MOCHI donut lol. Anyways, can't wait to come back for more drinks, more snacks, and that cake!

I…read morerecently heard they were serving Fish N Chips, and as I am forever on the hunt for the best fare of this persuasion I just had to try the newest offering at Cong N Go. I actually was not that hungry but after discussion of the dish with the owners I just had to sample it right then. I ordered it to go but not even kidding I almost ate all three pieces it was that good. Oh my goodness, hands down some of the very best Fish N Chips I ever ate. Nice plateful with three good size pieces. The batter is flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. The vinegrette sauce with aioli mayo and a mix of spices makes the fishes flavors blend very nicely. Cambodian crunchy slaw is a very tasty pairing. Maybe just a tad on the salty side but otherwise perfect. A good helping of narrow fries as well. Definitely enough food to be shareable if you are able to or even want to. I will be looking forward to returning for the light flavorful Alaskan cod at Cong N Go as long as they continue to serve it. Thanks so much for an excellent and very enjoyable afternoon meal. The food here overall is amazing and all of you looking for a change of pace have to stop by and sample the menu.

I ordered the Cheese Foam Watermelon Lychie Tea, which he said was the 2nd most popular drink and I can see why.... He takes his time making your drinks custom from real quality ingredients and doesn't just go and pour some flavored powder in a cup like I feel some other places do.... He made it right in front of me and it was absolutely delicious!!! Even though it was evening time and cold and rainy, I can imagine how refreshing it would be on a hot day.... And then I needed to order a milk tea to go... He suggested the Tiger milk tea , saying it was their most popular and no wonder!! It was just delicious as the first one! !!! The atmosphere is very clean and roomy with lots of comfy seating and there's even a big cotton candy machine where you can order different styles of cotton candy with designs on them for only $5!!! What a fun place and nice guy who owns and operates it...prices are average, compared to most Boba places in the area and I was very glad I took the time to stop and check them out!!!! By the way, their Boba balls refresh and melt Iin your mouth!!!! Yummy!!! I heard another girl order a special " Dubai Chocolate Boba drink that looked so goood! Next time!!!.... I highly recommend you go give them a try if you like Boba drinks like I do! You'll be glad you did!!!!
