| - I'll preface this review by saying that I spent a month in Asia recently and was absolutely spoiled by authentic Taiwanese and Chinese food. I also live close enough to LA to drive up whenever I crave good old Asian food. So those who gave this place 4 stars, don't hold my rating against me just because I am spoiled.
4 stars for the tea, 2 stars for the food, our total bill was $60 for 4, so one star for price (given the quality of the food). I would definitely pay more for better quality.
We ordered:
1. Tea flavored pork chop -- greasy, fatty, and didn't taste fresh. The rice was not cooked well either, I can make perfectly fluffy white rice with my eyes closed (w/ a rice cooker of course), so I have low tolerance for bad rice. Also, the sour cabbage that typically comes with pork chop rice would have been a nice touch....the veggies that came didn't taste good.
2. Slow-cooked Pork -- not good. Again, fatty and greasy.
3. Lavender Milk Tea with Boboa: VERY GOOD!
4. Rose Milk tea with Boboa: not too shabby
5. iced Green Tea: good
Again, using Las Vegas standards, this establishment probably warrants higher rating given the lack of boboa places. I just wish the empty calories I consumed was for better tasting food. Maybe they will work on it and it will be better! I sure hope so!
