"I was visiting my family in the area and told my sister I was craving for boba and sushi. So she chose this place. I looked it up and she showed me the menu on her phone and wow, the choices this place had!!!! It was so much and I couldn't narrow it down. But I had to make a decision and pick 2 even though I could easily have picked 5 or 6, probably even more rolls. She ordered over the phone and it was a bit difficulty. Whomever answered I guess was new because she said she never has problems over the phone. But this guy was so obsessed with getting her name for the order right, I almost wanted to say, just let it go, does it really matter that much!!!??? It almost took more time to get her name than to take our actual order! Anyways, my sister ordered some stuff for the family, I ordered the Tiger Roll and Crunch Scallop Roll. Parking lot was pretty packed since it shared a lot with other stores and restaurants, so my brother-in-law got out of the car to get the food. Everything was correct and I couldn't wait to eat it. I was so happy with what I ordered, I've never been to a sushi place where the scallops were actually fried and put on top and scattered around. The pieces were huge too and they gave a good amount. I would definitely get this again. The Tiger roll was so good too, shrimp tempura and crab on the inside, shrimp and avocado on top!!!! Yum!!!! I can't wait to go here again, there's so much more I wanna in addition to these 2 rolls that already has me hooked on this place!"

"Just happened to be in the city last night to visit our friends and we all decided to get a Chinese takeout for dinner. We ordered a total of 6 items: 2 appetizers and 4 entrées. For the 2 appetizers, we got potstickers and vegetable egg rolls, which were both recommended by our friends. I really liked the potstickers which were super plump and stuffed with so much meat. The vegetable egg rolls were also nice, but I thought they were a little bit more on the saltier side, but they were not bad. And for the four entrées, we got: Twice cooked pork this entrée was really good. The portion was pretty generous, and it came with loads and loads of veggies cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the char (or the fire blisters) on the cabbage. And I thought the pork belly added a nice umami to the entire dish, even though the pork could 've been more tender. And this dish had the right amount of spice in it and was not too spicy. So, I think everyone could enjoy this dish. Chicken with string beans this dish was just OK to me, because I thought that the green beans could 've been blistered or charred more to add more flavor depths. And I was expecting this dish to be a little bit more dry, but instead it was more saucy than I had expected, so that was a little unusual to me. But I thought the flavor was still nice, and I still really enjoyed it. Mongolian beef The Mongolian beef was probably my least favorite dish from what we ordered. I thought the flavor was nice, but what really threw me off was the consistency of the beef. I thought the beef was too soft, borderline mushy. I 'm really not sure what 's going on with this dish but my guess would be they used too much meat tenderizer? Vegetable fried rice OK, this vegetable fried rice really blew my mind. I was pleasantly surprised to find this vegetable fried rice to be extremely flavorful even though it had no meat whatsoever (although it did use eggs, just FYI). But the umami flavor that I got gave me a real serous meat vibe though maybe they used any non vegetable stock (such as chicken or beef bullion perhaps)? ....which I wouldn 't care about either way anyway, but I am curious. But I thought this fried rice was absolutely delicious. Overall, I would give this restaurant a general like , except for their mushy Mongolian beef. The price was more expensive than I was expecting from standard Chinese restaurants, but then again there has been so much inflation lately, and I 'm sure other restaurants have also increased their prices. So, as unfortunate as it is, I think it 's pretty expected now that all restaurants would be a bit more pricey nowadays. It was $100 give or take total."

"My Expectations: To be honest, I didn't expect much from a place where boba seemed like just an afterthought on a lengthy menu. I even felt a bit hesitant due to their claims of using quality ingredients, such as organic milk. Many off-the-beaten-path spots like this tend to cut corners on ingredients to keep costs down, especially when customers are few and far between. I had a negative experience at the fish market in the same plaza, where I purchased sturgeon and catfish that ended up being spoiled by the time I got home. Thankfully, I was completely wrong about this place! My Experience: On both visits, I noticed several customers enjoying their meals, which suggested that this could be a hidden gem rather than a gamble. I ordered the brown sugar boba, one of my favorites and a true hit-or-miss item. This time, it was definitely a hit! The organic milk tasted great and was easier on my stomach, making for a delightful ride home as I savored my drink. I was so impressed that if I hadn’t been driving, I would have immediately started writing this review based on just that one experience. My second visit was equally enjoyable when I ordered a strawberry kiwi smoothie. Everything about it—from the texture to the flavor in every sip—was just perfect. I can confidently say that this place is worth a visit just for the boba alone. I was so excited that I couldn't even wait to get home; I started dictating this review into my phone while driving—sorry, not sorry! I can’t wait to come back for more. This place easily deserves five stars!"
