Hot grass jelly is great for winter time! I come here whenever I feel home sick. They offer a variety of healthy food options.

Stop by here for quick snack run with wife to kill some time. Wasn't busy on Saturday evening. Ordered hot jelly and oyster omlette and popcorn chicken. The food was good as always portion was a little small for sure. The staff was tentative to us. Decor as always is modern. Parking really isn't an issue. Will be back again when in the area.

Apparently they're the "original creator of boba milk tea" located in Taiwan. Their drinks are okay. Def less sweet so if you like your drinks on the sweeter side, ask for 100% sugar. I got their beef stew rice and it's not bad. It's very savory. Their popcorn chicken is actually good! Super juicy and moist! Their service is quick! Literally I waited 5-10 min and the food came out, hot and yummy. It's not the world's best boba store but I think you should give it try. :D

While I do miss their old tea room, I do think this new boba shop format will be much more successful for them! There are plenty of seats for dining in with free parking! The hot pot was flavorful and filling, but would pass on the grapefruit green tea for another milk tea based drink.

This is my second time coming here for lunch. First time I had a regular soup bowl. It was very good, but forgot to write a review. This time we were tired from a night out and wanted something warm to fill our tummy's. Normally my goto is boiling point but my husband wanted me to try the hotpot here, and I was very happy he did! Place opens at 11, decor is nice open concept design is modern. Plenty of parking in this complex. Service was great we can scan the code and order with your phone or you ask your server to submit the order for you. My husband order the pickled broth hotpot He liked it a lot so 4/5 for him - it's honestly an acquired taste so I was not a fan I order the original seafood - large portions fresh seafood and all its toppings and good warm broth. 4/5 The only thing is, they add alot of cabbages so it felt wasteful since I can't finish it all. Of course order bbt - yummy ( the boba is chewy and soft 5/5) Highly recommend !

Their personal hotpot is one of the best I've had! What makes it so yummy is the broth - rich, clean, and super flavorful. The ingredients are able to absorb all of its yummy goodness. The amount of food is substantial, and it comes out fairly quick. We also tried some of the other items on their menu, and everything tastes fairly authentically Taiwanese. You order via a QR code at the table and pay up at the register. Service is quick and efficient. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot. Will definitely be back!

Date of visit: multiple times Omg this review is long overdue! I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend of mine end of Nov 2019. She's Taiwanese and a foodie :D Since then I've been coming here several times with my family Long story short, these are things I like to order here: - beef tongue rice: ORDER IT! my kids' and hubby's absolute favorite. - Taiwanese beef stew noodle: ORDER IT! pretty good. - Hakka salty pork noodle soup: their soup has subtle flavor but imo still pretty good. ORDER IT! - popcorn chicken: somehow inconsistent as one time we came and it was super bland, like they forgot to season it with salt and pepper. I had to ask for salt and pepper and seasoned it myself! But for most times, this item is really really good and absolutely one of my fave here, so I would say ORDER IT, but proceed with caution lol - pork chop rice: very subtle flavor but it was good. Just wish the pork chop can be a little more tender. Would I order again? Hmm...maybe I will... Drinks are also pretty good here. I tried Panda milk tea and I love the flavor of the black tea. Would definitely explore more drink selections next time I stop by. Note: pictures are collection from my multiple visits here
