This place is so good! We got a bahn mi, grilled chicken sandwich and pork & rice plate! And they were all so good. And Thai iced tea was great! Friendly and caring staff!

Pork Belly Sandwich is “expletive” incredible! Staff is so friendly and inviting, store is immaculate, but most importantly the food is incredibly good. Fresh soft French bread, fresh veggies, and the meats are juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I have had almost everything on the menu now and never had a bad bite. The smoothies are on point, I always get mine without sweetener, the avacado berry smoothie is the ?. Boba for those who like that. Can’t prop this place up enough, really special little shop. You can tell the owners are passionate about what they are serving. Love love love ❤️

The pork belly sandwhich here is so delicious I would shove small children out of the way to get to it. My only disappointment is that I have worked across the street from this place for six months and never stopped in assuming they only served tea. Well, I was terribly wrong. They of course have tea, but more importantly for me, they have incredible smoothies. Today I had the mixed berry avocado, regular sweetness paired with my pork belly sandwich. Outstandingly delicious and the two items pair well flavor wise. Tiny place with big personality, friendly staff, and super clean. I will be back and I suggest you try it out too.

Goatea is a Vietnamese boba gem in the Kent--Des Moines community. The drinks are consistently delicious - at least the ones I've tried. I've had several of their 'mojito' style flavors as well as the avocado smoothie with boba. All were delicious, fresh, not made with powder. Try the popping boba!The food is also amazing! Don't sleep on their summer rolls or banh mi. The pork, shrimp, and tofu spring rolls are all generously filled. I love that they add in the pickled daikon and radish in the rolls. The banh mi are also generously filled, with protein, herbs, and a delicious slathering of seasoned mayo.My coworkers and I are a fan. Definitely worth a try.

We had a GREAT experience here. We tried the grilled pork on rice, five spice chicken on rice and a tofu bahn mi plus two mango fruit teas. Everything was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and we will totally come back here!

Unbelievably good food! My family and I have been coming here for years for tea and sandwiches. They just got their rice dishes up and running and they are AMAZING! We got the lemon grass beef. Excellent!

We come here regularly and really enjoy it! The drinks are great, both milk and fruit teas. I especially love the popcorn chicken, fries, pork spring rolls, and pork banh mi's. I really hope they will start offering the rice bowls that have "coming soon" on their menu!
