| - I've been driving by this place for a week since it opened, and finally got to try it today!
Environment: Decor is modern with a cozy lounge atmosphere. You know it's new when you smell the fresh paint :)
Menu: It has an extensive list of food, beverages, and desserts! Taiwanese cuisine is their specialty. Similar to Bubble Tea places (Destiny, Go For Tea, Sugar and TenRen). There's a section for lunch specials for those interested. There's so much I wanted to try.
Service: Friendly staff, good quick service. They explained the items on the menu. Checked on us when it was needed and gave us privacy when we wanted to be left alone (I'm sure you've been in a situation when the waiters, waitress, or hostess are intrusive).
What we ordered: Guava Slush, Mango Yogurt, Marinated Pork Feet, Fried Butter Melon, Slice Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup.
Guava Slush was tasty. The right amount of flavor and not over sweetened. My girlfriend loved it!
Mango Yogurt was good. Needed to be colder.
Marinated Pork Feet was flavorful and yummy! We love our PORK FEET =D Good size serving, and tasty. We were too full to finish the last taunting piece.
Fried Butter Melon was battered just right. Good amount of flavor, felt like I was eating chips. Was a suggestion made by our waitress.
Slice Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup was impressive. Why? Because the broth actually tasted like soup. Didn't taste like there were additives. We weren't thirsty afterwards (TIP: MSG makes you thirsty). Tendon and sliced beef was cooked just right. Beef came out medium with a little redness, which is a bonus because I hate overcooked beef. Tendon had the right texture. The noodles were ramen.
Overall: I think I found a new Bubble Tea replacement. It had great snacks, food, and drinks. Price was reasonable because everything came to $35 with Tax and Tip. The owner gave us a FREE shaved ice dessert! Probably due to its new opening or wanted our opinions because the waitress asked us how it was. We ordered Taro Shaved Ice (came with popping bubbles). It was delicious! We've noticed right away, that it wasn't too sweet and had just the right flavor. The waitress said it was natural with no additives. The shaved ice was slightly different than I expected. Not shaved ice with syrup on top, but rather flavored and them shaved?
