We were having lunch nearby and decided to try the bubble tea at this place for a change. Our milk teas were just okay and nothing particularly noteworthy. Despite this, the place was clean, and the service was acceptable.

Cute boba shop with lots of food options and some indoor seating! I got black milk tea but I felt like it didn't have much tea flavor and was pretty forgettable tbh 2/5 Beef noodle soup 2/5 it had one of the softest and juiciest beef and the noodles were bouncy and taste handmade! But I couldn't eat it because the soup felt so off. Maybe too much soy sauce? It just didn't taste right and made me so sad since the noodles and beef were good

We are regular customers at this cafe, and usually enjoy their wonderfully authentic Taiwanese desserts. However, today we had a horrible experience. We ordered our usual herbal jelly dessert. Firstly, even though the place was not crowded, it took almost 20 minutes for the dessert to be served. When I asked the ladies at the counter why it was taking so long, the they were initially dismissive, and just said that it was coming soon. When the dessert arrived, I found that the dessert had no jelly in it and it was just black syrup with some toppings. This is not what this dessert usually looks like. When I asked the counter ladies, they insisted that it was the hot version of the herbal jelly dessert. As the ladies were not Asians, it was difficult to convince them how the Asian desert is supposed to be. They just said this was how their bosses instructed them to serve the dessert. We had to be firm with them in order to get them to re-prepare the dessert and they did so with much reluctance. And no one apologized! I do not blame the servers for this issue - the blame should lie squarely with the bosses and owners of this cafe because they failed to train their servers well. Servers attitudes were lackadaisical and owners did not ensure the quality and consistency of the desserts. Customers go to a dessert place expecting an enjoyable experience and certainly do not want to be sparring with the service staff. The owners need to do better.

The black sesame latte ($4 for a medium as of 2/12/2024) is pretty sweet, and I like how they fill it up to the top even if you ask for less ice. You can definitely taste the black sesame, but it's overall pretty okay in terms of quality/standard. It's a very minimal and clean place to do work. Service is fast. It's not a must try but if you're craving milk tea, this is a good place to go.

When I picked up my order, I received no mention of a thank you or anything. The employees lack customer service. Some of my food was cold. I added no sugar to my tea drink yet the drink was so sugary that I had to throw it away. The other drink I ordered which was a latte tasted watery. Customers aren't allowed to use the restroom. I regret coming here and wasting my money. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
I actually get food here more than I get their tea so this review is primarily for their food lol I like their popcorn chicken and braised pork rice. I did not like their beef noodle soup though.

My wife typically always like getting a tea from Eden center. She'll cycle between this place, tea dm, mr wish and vivi tea. The tea at this place is alright, though I'm not the best judge cause they'll are pretty mediocre to me. That being said the food though was surprisingly good and the price was very amenable. Got it for the first time not too long ago and will definitely be back. For less than $12 you can get a healthy portion of popcorn chicken along with a hearty helping of rice, veggies, and half egg. It's a great lunch and even dinner option. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

Food has always been great but the service is horrendously poor. We wanted a hot taro drink and were using the self help machine to make our order. We did not see the hot option because it was hidden at a corner and went to ask the counter staff where could we get the hot option. They were just playing with their phones and did not bother to help us with the self checkout machine. We couldn’t get our drink heated in the end and they insisted we get a new drink. This is downright outrageous. We decided to get another drink elsewhere. We drove too far for this poor serviceResponse to owner:Thank you for your response. To clarify, your staff did not show us how to order the ‘hot’ drink option when we asked. They were simply more interested in their phone. They were just unhelpful. Even when we asked where was the hot drink option after we got the drink, your staff just tapped the screen and walked off without a word. It is the non-verbal language that speaks volume about the attitude. We also indicated that we are more to willing to pay to heat up the drink. But given such attitude, we decided to just purchase it elsewhere.

I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken dish and was surprised with how generous the portion is compared to other establishments I've been to. Food was served hot, we dined in and waited a little bit. Boba was pretty good. I'll definitely come back when I'm craving some popcorn chicken.
