I wanted to love this place, but I couldn't. I ordered an oyster vermicelli, passion aiyu drink, bbq sausage, popcorn chicken, and pork thick soup. This place really needs reorganization. When you come in, you have to line up and order regardless if your staying or ordering take-out. It was a Monday afternoon and it was packed with junior high kids coming from school and parents with strollers with kids. They didn't have the matcha red bean slush. It has been 40 minutes and I am still waiting for the oyster vermicelli, bbq sausage and pork thick soup. I went and spoke to the 3 people at the cashier and the delay was due to forgetting to give the order to the cook so we wasted 40 minutes waiting. They give me a herbal pudding as an apology. I understand today was the first day so I hope they change for the better in the future.
The popcorn chicken is the closest thing to the Taiwanese taste that I ordered. The passion aiyu drink lacks aiyu. There's a lot of passion fruit flavor. The pork soup and the oyster vermicelli is very similar with a bit of sour and spicy as its soup base.
This review is solely for the desserts!
I came here with my boyfriend on a Saturday night after finding out Mango Mango was closed. I was pretty confused by the service at this spot. Walking in – no one was there to greet you or seat you so we just sat ourselves. We were also confused on how to order – do we order by ourselves by the register or does someone come by and take your order??? An employee seemed to notice how confused we were so she came up and took our order. We ordered the Mango Snow Cream in a large – keep in mind the dessert menu here is REALLLLLLY limited.
Mango Snow Cream – this was by far the WORST shaved ice dessert I have ever ate in my life!!! The "shaved ice" was sooooo thick, not light and fluffy AT ALL! When I put the shaved ice in my mouth – it doesn't melt instantly… it turns into an ice cream kind of texture… needless to say it was nasty. The mangos that came with it were either bitter or no flavor. The marshmallows topping was SUPER chewy.
Overall, would not recommend this to ANYONE. Service is poor and atmosphere is rowdy (lots of little kids here). Also, it's CASH ONLY.
3.5 stars. Customer service was great but the food, not so much. My boyfriend and I came here around lunch time and ordered 3 bento box looking dishes: one with chicken leg, one with pork chop and another one with popcorn chicken. (Like always, my bf likes to order more than he can eat). Usually, he is able to finish most of his food but this time, he couldn't and surprisingly, I couldn't either. Why?
Well first off, there was a lot of this fatty thing on top of our rice. I didn't mind it at first but it became overwhelming and tasted really greasy. I'm not sure why anyone would want to eat a pile of fat with their rice. At least make it more meaty or something? Secondly, I was kind of disappointed that the chicken leg and pork chop were both fried. The chicken leg, specifically, was mostly just fried skin. I highly suggest you order something else because when I read chicken leg, I envisioned BIG FAT and JUICY. The popcorn chicken or the pork chop are probably your two safest bets.
As for drinks, I ordered a regular bubble tea. It was only $2.50 with the lunch combo that we ordered so I thought, why not? My bf, on the other hand, didn't like any of the $2.50 drinks so he ordered a strawberry slushie from the drink menu. Both were pretty decent. The bubble tea was on the sweeter end but it was to my liking. The tapioca was also soft and chewy. The strawberry slush wasn't bad either but it came with whipped cream on top, which I thought was a bit weird.
Overall, this place was an interesting stop. Tried some new things but they didn't win me over. For some reason, though, this place is super popular amongst families with kids. I don't know if it's the cute decor or the low prices or maybe some delicious food option I have yet to try? While this place probably has its own perks, I will resort to other lunch places for now.
