Popcorn chicken with red pepper flakes was flavorful, crisp, and juicy! They also have extra pepper flakes in a little cup to go. I ordered the oolong milk tea with boba which was also delicious. Tea was freshly brewed. Highly recommend to check this place out. Honest and friendly business owners serving delicious food/drinks with quality ingredients. Thank you, Tugo Tea House!

An excellent place, first class service, even though we speak Spanish, they helped us with very good suggestions because we were with our 6 and 4 year old children, and they were also very friendly.Kid-friendliness: Chicken popcorn, soup and rice. And the drinks are very delicious.

Unfortunately, their beef noodle soup is too salty and oily with no real beef taste but strong spice and soy sauce. Bobba is also plain, not fresh, clutered together. Hopefully the owner can watch the quality as I enjoyed their food a lot before. Popcorn chicken and Taiwanese kimchi are great.

The proprietress is very kind, and all the guests remember it clearly. Pork ribs rice, small intestines wrapped in large intestines, crispy salted chicken, pearl milk, etc. are all nostalgic Taiwanese delicacies. I highly recommend everyone to take a trip to reminisce about the taste of hometown!

The boba tea was so good! However, the true star of the show is the gluten free chicken, absolutely amazing!

Update: I love coming here wherever I'm in the area. I didn't add pictures to my review last time, so here are some pictures. Yes, there are plenty of parking. You can now order from the two kiosks. Only thing that is a downside is if you come here too late in the night, most of the items will be sold out… even on a week night like Wed.We came here for the first time. We ordered the bento boxes. 1 was just popcorn chicken and the second one was a combo of pork chop loin cut and popcorn chicken. When I had that first bite of the popcorn chicken I was blown away by the flavor and how tender and crispy it was. The pork chop loin cut was equally as good. It was tender, bursting of flavor, and succulent. We had two of the frog bang drinks and they were delicious. We had one of the ginger base taro bowls, highly recommended for a dessert. This was a good family owned restaurant and I’ll be coming back more often.

First time we showed up, we were craving popcorn chicken. The staff is very nice and I believe it was the owner who made the entire visit amazing! We will be back here again for sure!

The popcorn chicken we ordered turned out to be the best I’ve ever had. The owner mentioned that they use chicken thigh meat, which explains why the chicken was juicy and flavourful without being dry. The crispy outer layer provided a delightful crunch, and the dish was surprisingly not greasy. It was a perfect combination of flavours and textures.The friendly owner and the overall cozy ambiance add to the charm of this hidden gem.

Food is yummy. I've tried most of the menu. We keep going back for the popcorn chicken and get a bubble tea. The popcorn chicken is the best. It's my favorite! The bubble tea is average. The restaurant is small. They do have additional seating outside. The many times we've been there we've eaten inside once. We usually eat in the parking lot in my car.

I live nearby and come here about once a week, it is easy to walk to. I always get a blended taro milk tea with mango jelly stars and a regular popcorn chicken. It is super delicious every single time! I’ve tried a couple of other things on the menu and they have all been good. The bento box is yummy, but takes a long time to prepare so keep that in mind if you are in a hurry for lunch. I like the noodles as well! I’m currently stuck at home with Covid, but the minute I am safe to be around others I will be heading straight for some chicken and tea at Tugos!
