| - 3.5 stars upon first try!
Excellent service. The staff was friendly and informative. We bought one drink, but got another one free, on the spot, when we took a picture of our drink and put it on Instagram with the hash tag #nohohon This was a nice touch! I love free!
I got the large honey oolong tea with 30% sugar and less ice. They accommodate the sugar and ice despite not having it on the menu, which is pretty cool. With the drink, you get a choice of tapioca, lychee jelly, grass jelly, or red bean included in the price. I got grass jelly. The drink came up to $5.37 (including tax). You can pay with credit card. The tea itself was pretty refreshing. Very authentic. However, the grass jelly wasnt very good. It didn't have much flavouring and was not as soft as chatimes. A possible place to improve.
The free drink we got was the matcha macchiato with tapioca. It was cool looking with different coloured layers, but we couldn't really taste the matcha till later because the caramel overpowered the matcha. It got better once we stirred it more, but overall, I would put more matcha than caramel. I dont like my drink too sweet. *What I do want to rave about is the tapioca. One of the best I've had. Very flavourful and soft! Melted in my mouth. Soooo good!*
I would definitely come back for another drink, the menu isn't extensive, which I like, and there's a whole bunch of stuff that ive never seen before like sencha mojito and yuzu lemonade.
Definitely worth it if you use Instagram! You buy one drink and get the next one free if you Instagram a pic of the drink you bought. You get a free drink on the same day or a coupon to redeem on another day.
