Was craving some boba and stopped by to this spot in the mall. The menu looked promising, but…read moreunfortunately did not live up to it. I ordered an oolong milk tea with honey boba and it was not good. There was no oolong flavor whatsoever, it honestly just tasted like caramel milk that was way too sweet. The boba didn't resemble boba at all, it was way too hard and had no flavor. It was on the more expensive side and there were no size options. Service was not friendly at all. Would not recommend if you're looking for good boba.

Took a bit to get my drink and I asked if it was light ice and she said it has a certain amount of ice. I drank it down quick and it was about 3/4 full of ice which was very disappointing.

Today is my first time here. I came with my partner who's been here before and liked it. I really…read moreliked the space, and chose a drink I thought I would enjoy but ended up really hating it. I went back and kindly asked if I can get something else instead and they immediately were like "no, we can't redo the drink". Which was really shitty tbh since it was my first time at the spot, but I didn't want to make a big deal about it so I just walked away. My partner was pretty shocked though at their response. Luckily my partner liked the drink and ended up drinking it, so it didn't go to waste. But I probably will never be back tbh, even though I really liked the space.

Found this place through a friend's recommendation. I was not disappointed! Their pho is amazing…read moreand the service is really on point. They have some really wide variety of dishes, you can get some very traditional dishes from Laos such as mango with fish sauce ( which I don't recommend unless you're very adventurous ). But there pho-rito is amazing as is just pretty much everything on the menu. One of the things I need to say about this place though is that the owner and staff are just so very nice and attentive. I really like to support local businesses and I really like to know the faces behind the businesses, and these are some of the most wonderful people on the planet. You'll be very happy with the food, the service, and the fact that your money is going to a local business staffed by wonderful people. Don't be intimidated if you don't know much about the cuisine, the staff will be happy to guide you and help you with anything on the menu. Just let them know your taste, your likes and dislikes, and your level of spice and they will guide you to some of those delicious food in knoxville. I will be back!

Newly transplanted to Knoxville from the east coast, i have been on the search for a truly fresh…read morebowl of pho. Tonight I enjoyed a satisfying meal at Stick Rice with the beef pho and shrimp spring rolls. The service was excellent and even though the place was slam packed. The place it not like your normal hole in the wall joint the decor os rich, clean, and modern. The pho arrived hot and fragrant, with a rich, savory broth that had plenty of depth without being overly salty. The beef was tender, the noodles were nicely cooked, and the fresh herbs and lime let me adjust each bite to my taste. Legit pho broth 4.1 meat 4.5 veggies how is everything good thank you 3.0 The shrimp spring rolls were an excellent starter--light, fresh, and neatly wrapped with crisp vegetables, rice noodles, and plump shrimp. The peanut dipping sauce added a creamy, slightly sweet contrast that paired nicely with the fresh ingredients. Overall, it was a comforting, flavorful meal that felt both fresh and filling. I would happily order the beef pho and shrimp spring rolls again.

The udon was ok as well as the crab rangoons (the rangoons are the only reason its not a 5, just not a strong enough cream cheese for my big back self.) I didn't expect the flavor the udon had udon but it was still really good! The food came out pretty fast and the workers gave us some samples of the orange chicken, which was also really good. For a small little shop in the mall and the trendy food they have they seem pretty good!!! (Especially on days where the lines are long everywhere else. ) 9/10 would recommend!

My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.

This shop has all the window dressing of a good boba spot, but did not deliver for the two drinks I tried. Firstly, look up the menu ahead of time. There are a lot of choices. Some, not usual for most boba places. (Oreo, as a topping option for all drinks) Knew I wanted a Thai tea. Asked the counter person to recommend some other popular drinks. Should have specified something different from the milk based Thai tea. Oreo shake was the one suggestion. My interaction wasn't the best. Counter person looked slightly upset I asked for recommendations, even after hearing it was my first time there. Went with a honey dew option. My Thai tea had almost no flavor. At least not the flavor I was looking for. It was creamy and sweet. My Honeydew smoothie/slushy. Creamy and sweet. Boba was fresh. Didn't finish either. There were a lot of food options. Didn't try, but they looked good. Atmosphere is a little loud, would make it hard to catch up with a friend.

The food is cooling down , but after a taste test..I can say its about to be really good. They were out of a lot of the drink options like the fresh lemonade and teas that the menu offers. I don't drink sodas and syrup pumped drinks so that was a bit of a bummer. Fresh lemonade is my jam so I was both bummed and excited to learn they ran out a few hours ago. I'll just have to make a trip back to try it.

The pho broth is exactly what it should be: rich, clear, deeply flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. You can tell it's been given time and attention. The summer rolls were also super fresh, but super bland, probably skip next time. If you're craving a genuinely good bowl of pho in Knoxville, Pho 99 is absolutely the place to go.
