"3.5 wasn 't an option so I rounded up. Know what you want to get from this place. Tips or recommendations aren 't given as freely as other places I go to. When asked what 's popular, I was told this is a Vietnamese place. Hmm I kinda know that but, was wondering what is it that people come here for. Guy mentioned there 's ramen on the front (somehow I thought that was not Vietnamese...I guess I am not Viet enough). At least I don 't eat Viet food enough and I get my ramen from Japanese places. I ended ordering a rice plate that didn 't come with egg rolls like most other Vietnamese restaurants I go to. You have to order it as a separate appetizer he told me. Then there are 2 different types of egg rolls something called netted egg rolls . I 've never seen this at other Viet places but was told that this is a very Vietnamese type of egg roll, other places just don 't have them. It 's not bad, just very different. It 's kind of similar to the fried taro dim sum thing that I 'd get at Chinese restaurants. I prefer the regular Vietnamese egg rolls that the other places serve. A side of chicken broth is also not included in with rice plates here. You need to add it on to your meals. It 's something that I got use to getting together with my rice plates here. The different types of veggies here are great though. Squash and zucchini. Very different from other places but it 's good. The veggies are the best thing here from my visit. The brown sauce is not good. If you want fish sauce you have to ask for it and it 's a tiny container. I normally like my rice wet with the sauce and would like 5-6 of those tiny containers....I usually get them in a bowl and sometimes ask for a second bowl too. It 's delicious when there 's the sauce! Just don 't spill it on your body or you 'll smell stinky and fishy! I didn 't ask for extra since this is not a place that service is highlighted and I just didn 't want to bother the guy. He didn 't seem to like to answer Qs about the food or things when I asked much. You get your own silverware from the table. Sauces from the side counter, etc....don 't expect spectacular service here. This is my first time here. Not sure if I 'd come back. My usual place I eat when working in the area is Ahi Poke or Sweet Lemon for less or about the same price. I 'd stick to one of my usual next time where servers are friendlier and there 's wifi to get work done during munching time"

"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!"
