Coffee & Tea • $
“If you love fresh delicious loose leaf tea, then this is the perfect place to be. I was very impressed with this place and with all the different varieties and selections available. The owner was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly as well. I will definitely be coming here again very soon! I bought several teas to try, and had a delightful cup of pineapple blend tea while there. My friend said it was the best tea she’s ever had. I must agree! I also loved all the little tea pots and accessories, it’s like your one stop tea shop. They also have coffee brews as well.“
“My friends wanted to meet up and had picked out this ramen spot. I ordered the spicy beef ramen with marinated egg, and a bowl of edamame... both were superb.I didn't take a picture of the edamame, but it was prepared very well and had a wonderful taste. Seemed like it was pan cooked with soy sauce and garlic maybe. Either way, it was very good, and I enjoyed my ramen as well.Nice little spot that was a pleasant surprise. The edamame alone would have me return and try a different entree and maybe some sake in a beaker, in the future.“
“First time firsts. So delicious. So unbelievably filling. Next time, I'll get a mini. Huge variety...made with a view, too¡! Highly suggest if you haven't...you do. You're welcome, because if you could you would thank me...?“
“Great Asian restaurant!!! Fantastic variety of Asian cuisine. Some Japanese and some Chinese even some Vietnamese. This is the place for you if you love Asian food. The staff here is very nice also and what stands out is their quality of service. I love seeing good service having been In the service industry doing fine dining for years. Always there for you. It's wonderful for a family dining experience. Defintely swing by for a easy casual bite! There bubble tea is great too :) ? My one feedback is their portion sizes are a little bit small for the price they should make them bigger. Otherwise will be back!!!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian rice dishes and noodle dishes and tofu options !Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled menuParking: It's right off the avenue so difficult to park“
“Amazing boba tea. They have a variety of flavors. It’s tastes so good. The store is so clean and well maintained. Great time to spend quality time with your partner or friends. Kiosk available to place quick orders. Their service is quick. Parking could be an issue since it’s located in a busy road.“
“I was visiting Yale university and stayed nearby. I wanted to eat something healthy and found this place. Walked in and I was totally happy with the atmosphere. Very clean, spacious and so much of options to choose from. I got the sushi burrito and it was amazing. Perfectly made and tasted so good. It was wrapped very well and the tea was great too. Addition to that, you have the chance to spin the wheel (if your purchase is over $25 or more) and get some prizes. I got a nice keychain which I was already planning to buy. The customer service was great and they were very patient though I took my time to order it. Will definitely visit this place again. Overall, it's a great place if you wanted a quick healthy bite. ??????“
“my first time here today and will definitely be returning! i came around 6, the girl at the counter was greeting every customer that walked in! she couldn’t be older than my daughter but her work ethic was insane. all the drinks were made quickly and tasted good. the vibe of the place is awesome and the drinks were amazing. i will definitely be returning.“
“This was my first time here!! I have tried to go here a couple of times in New Haven but it was so busy. I was so excited no one was there when I went. The staff was so nice and was excited that I was excited. He also clapped and called me a professional when I turned on w blogging light!! It was so nice! The boba and poke bowl were delicious!! There were so many to go orders when I was there too. Popular place !!“
“I had Natural Kitchen delivered to my office in Trumbull today. My lunch was well prepared, fresh, well-packaged and delicious. I am eating a plant based diet and found many options that were suitable and look forward to trying additional menu items in the future.“
“My husband decided on a whim to try a new Thai place for lunch Tuesday, and I'm really glad he did. My Pad Kra Prow was GREAT and I can't wait to go back & try more dishes. He said the employees at this establishment were super nice too so we will definitely be returning!!“
“I’ve been eating here periodically for months, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite lunch spots. The service is always fast and friendly. The food is always fresh, consistent, and delicious. It’s also more affordable and better quality than many of the chain poké restaurants (i.e. pokémoto)“

“This is a nice little Thai restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall. The service was excellent. A number of the staff welcomed us as we entered the restaurant. They also all said goodbye and thanks for coming on our way out. I had a red curry dish that was delicious but my wife’s wide noodle chicken dish was not very tasty. I would certainly go there again and try something different.“
“They were super nice and their boba teas were amazing. I loved the Taro iced cream and green tea boba. And my egg custard black milk tea was astounding with such great flavor and texture to it. I would definitely go here again if I am shopping at the Connecticut Post Mall.“
“I am writing this not only because the tea was out of this world but the customer service was as well. I ordered a taro milk tea (used to the purple one) and before making my tea the woman behind the counter informed me that their taro is a little different with no added preservatives and allowed me to try it prior to having to drink an entire cup of it. Absolutely delicious and stellar customer service. Will absolutely be back ❤️“
“I ordered, via Uber eats, the Southside Pho with duck, seafood combo and vegetables. Wow! The broth is so authentic! The duck had crispy skin, the scallop was U12, the shrimp was easily U16, and there were 4! The calamari was beautiful, and fresh, crispy veggies:carrot, broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts. Simply superb!! I asked for extra bean sprouts and Thai basil. Ordered their homemade garlic chili oil and lime on the side. This was wonderful! Now my go to for Pho, and I work in New Haven, so there are plenty of Pho options, but no competition/comparison...well done South Side Thai, well done! I'll be back!!“
“A beautiful restaurant with nice interior. Delicious food with various Japanese food selections. I love their special roll selections and how they serve it with beautiful presentatio. Ramen was great too. Octopus ball is good, but little bit creamy for me.“
“This was my first time trying a Poké bowl and it did not disappoint. It was very refreshing, especially on this warmer than normal March afternoon. Since it was my first time, I decided to create a build your own bowl and incorporate ingredients that I'm used to. The topper was their special sauces. I added shrimp, which were deveined, corn, fresh jalapeño, and a mix of rice and greens. For a surcharge you can also add avocado and kimchi, which I did. Everything blended together so well. The bowl was nice and satisfying. I definitely see myself returning throughout the summer, especially when I want a salad experience but a tad elevated. Parking is a bit tricky over there. But I went on a Thursday afternoon. The establishment was nice and clean. Bright and open. They had a few stool seats at a countertop. I believe they have Boba tea, but I'll try one the next time. There will most certainly be a next time!“
