Ooof. Walked up a few flights of stairs with posters of buns and bubble tea. Place was empty.
I ordered the "trial" of buns, soup and salad; figured I can't go wrong.
Waitress only speaks french, but the menu is also in English. My date translated.
I tried to order a bubble tea, but the waitress said "no". I was confused after seeing all the posters for Bubble Tea.
I tried to order a "Pepsi", she also said "no". I did see 3 cases of Pepsi cans on the floor next to the front counter....???
We received warm tap water, no ice.
At that point other people had arrived and had brought their own beverages.
The soup was a rice porridge; no substitutions I was told. It was so BLAND, desperately needed salt but the waitress said NOT to put any vinegar or hot oil in it (the only condiments). Weird she knew the soup needed to be altered. I took two sad sips.
The nori salad was my own risk; I wasn't into the texture but the spicy sesame sauce was okay, I had one bite.
The buns were also bland and way more bun than meat and at that point I was so bummed out I ate two and left.
I'm sure China town has more to offer.
