| - A lot of up and down experiences here. Lately - down.
Service is SLOW. One girl was working seating/reception, drinks, and orders. They are quite understaffed it seems. It wasn't that busy but it took a while to get seated. It took a while to get a menu. It took a while to order. It took a while to get our order. It took a while to get the bill. It. Took. A. While.
Had a bubble tea and shaved ice.
The bubble tea was a little too sweet. I heard a group near us leaving, and one of them asked if she was going to finish her drink and she said "it's way too sweet" and made a squinty face. Her's was some other drink/not bubble tea so perhaps all drinks might be a little too sweet for some. More importantly the tapioca sucked. It was not chewy. It was mushy - most likely overcooked, or has sat too long/is old. It also tasted like cilantro.... what on earth? This made my bubble tea drinking experience awful, as I am sucking down a sugary drink with pearls that crumble in my mouth. It's a no for me.
Now for the mango shaved ice. Have you ever finished a glass of milk, and had a bit left at the bottom and go rinse your glass/cup? Ok, well next time, put it in the freezer after, and crush the ice. That's what the shaved ice is here pretty much. The only indication that it is "milk ice" is that a bit melts at the bottom and is mildly white colored. Toppings are not fresh from what I could tell. If you are in need of a fix for a mild frozen dessert, I guess this will suffice.
Overall, its a little rough, but they are open late so if you have nowhere to be and want asian desserts, I guess you can come here. Or go home, take a sip of mango nectar and chew an ice cube - I saved you $12 and you had the same shaved ice experience, you're welcome.
