I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese roll and that was amazing. I also did the strawberry lemonade with Boba. It’s very very sweet.

If you want a nice place to sit and chill while waiting for class or for your Uber, this is a nice place to be. Can’t go wrong with GongCha bubble tea as well!

IF YOU WANT FOOD, think twice or try SeoulSpice…. My food (Chicken Kaarage Bento Box) is bland/tasteless and sitting in a POOL of oil. It’s so oily that the skin, which is supposed to be fried, is now soft and congealed. I only left 5 mins ago to eat.

****I came back to edit this post to say this was the worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Everything is tasteless and has a “mushy” consistency. If you’re looking for Asian-cuisine, turn around. There are plenty in CP.****

Save your money!!

I had a craving for sushi and checked uber eats and they had a buy one get one free deal on a few items! We took advantage of the bogo deal and chose the sashimi appetizer (salmon, yellowtail, and tuna) and the spicy salmon roll. All of the fish were so fresh and tasty. We also grabbed an avocado salad which comes with ginger dressing. In my opinion, the dressing is a bit on the sweeter side and would have preferred less so. Definitely a winner in my book for quick service that’s dependable regarding freshness and taste!

I was excited to try The Spot Mini—it’s a nice little place with a chill vibe. I ordered a medium Mango Green Tea Milk Foam Smoothie, which came to about $7.41 with tax. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the quality of the drink. While the flavor itself was good, the smoothie wasn’t well blended. I didn’t notice until I had already taken a few sips, but the texture made it hard to fully enjoy what could have been a delicious drink from start to finish. Given the price and my expectations, this was a letdown. I’d suggest training the staff on how to properly blend smoothies so customers can enjoy the full flavor and consistency. I'm honestly not sure if I’ll be returning

It is very close to the UMD campus, and offers a variety of Asian food. All the dishes I tried were okay for their prices. The service can be a bit slow, and they used plenty of packages even though I indicated dining in. I guess it would be convenient for take-out.

Sushi is great but they didn’t give me chopsticks. Am I supposed to eat sushi with fork?

The spot mini is a go-to place if you want to study, or talk with friends. Their sushi is very delicious and appetizing, and their drinks are amazing.The whole aesthetic of the place feels cozy and warm. Overall if you’re looking for a place to hangout, the spot mini is just for you.

Probably the best bubble tea I've had anywhere. The food is also pretty good, though some things are hit or miss. This place has a great atmosphere. There's lots of seating space and arcades downstairs.

The staff at gongcha…. The staff needs to be trained on Customer Service. I get it’s part of a food hall and not it’s individual bubble store, but the quality of the drinks and customer service NEEDS to be worked on. It’s $7-10 per drink… they refuse to replace drinks and will talk back/correct the customer. I was baffled.

I ordered a honey strawberry smoothie and added milk cap/foam on top which is listed as a “topping” and additional charge for it.

The girl that made my drink, she blended “extra” milk cap INTO my smoothie and when I had went up to talk to her about wanting it as a topping; she corrects me about the dome lid and said it will spill over and was recapping on how she made the drink. I repeated I wanted it as a topping, so add it on top of the drink and seal it instead of educating the customer regarding the lid you use. Also it affects the taste of the smoothie when you blend in extra milk foam listed as a topping into the smoothie without asking. She knew I wanted it as a topping so just add it on top? She did not remake the smoothie and it tasted like straight up milk. Then she handed back the same smoothie after sealing it aggressively. It’s the arrogant attitude along with the unnecessary lesson to a customer. Never coming back here again.

I do not usually write reviews but I think my experience was a cause for concern. I have been to the Spot many times and I have always enjoyed their food. This time I decided to try their Vietnamese Coffee with boba. It tasted great but it was a bit too strong. I realize that I do take some responsibility for still having it but the caffeine content was insane. I had an elevated heart rate for about an hour. I would request Spot management to put the caffeine content next to their drinks. It is really concerning and a big issue in my opinion.

Ordered delivery from here and had to throw everything away because it didn't seem safe to eat. Everything smelled, tasted, and looked awful. I've never had to throw an entire delivery order away before. What a waste of money.

My fiance and just ordered this tonight for dinner via Uber, I got the bento box, he got the chicken wings and dumplings. For starters sauce was all over the place in my bento box, sushi was small, soggy and falling apart soaked in some sort of sauce. His chicken wings were not flavored and the fried rice was disgusting. The dumplings were overcooked and stuck together. We decided to try this place based on the reviews but it clearly looked like they just threw out order together, sauce was everywhere in the bag. Not at all happy and we will not be back. They didn't even have drinks on theenu we could order

Went in for an impromptu date night with the misses and pre-ordered the sushi for 2 combo. If this order is anything, it is A LOT of sushi!! We were very surprised by the quantity, and overall presentation. The combo also comes with one soup and salad. The sushi is not the best I have ever had, but satisfies the craving and it was fun to try such a variety with the combo. For atmosphere, the misses truly enjoyed the fake plants and overall vibe. She also slurped down her mango green tea and MY brown sugar oolong tea latte. Should have gotten a third for myself.

The staff at GongCha acted horrible, on a day after campus had shut down and traffic in the store was nowhere near regular levels. The drinks were disgusting too to top it off, rather spend your money at the other 5 boba places around.
