What I ordered:
Hand made pearl golden oolong tea latte. The drink comes with their hand made tapiocas. I wanted the cactus flavor but was told the drink comes with all the different tapioca flavors. Awesome! Customized the drink with 50% sugar and less ice.
What I got:
Disappointment in a cup.
There was no tea flavor. Just watered down milk and sugar. They did get the 50% sugar right.... I guess.. And less ice = no ice apparently. My drink was cold still, so since I could not taste the oolong, I must have gotten no tea or cold diluted tea.
Rose pearl, matcha pearl, crystal pearl, purple sweet potato pearl, pudding pearl, cactus pearl, brown sugar pearl. That's a lot of different tapioca flavors you can get excited about. Well guess what? They all taste the same. And they all taste like nothing. Could not tell which color was associated to said flavor. Did not even bother to figure it out. Major let down.
Gone is Presotea which made some good bbt, and replaced by Dimples, which makes a pretty cruddy drink. Good luck competing with all the other more established bbt chains just steps away.
What others ordered:
-drinks
-typical Chinese desserts (grass jelly, sago etc)
-chicken and waffle
What others got:
Their drinks didn't sound anywhere as poorly made as mine, but it wasn't great either.
Their desserts, portion-wise, must have been a joke. Who serves a half full bowl of desserts? Taste? Meh.
Chicken and waffle never came. When we followed up, we were told they do not have the ingredients anymore.
What I think? These guys/girls were too lazy to make anything Friday evening so they would have less to clean up when the store closes. They totally mailed it in, just like everyone else who didn't want to work on Fridays.
Overall:
Nice interior. Service was slow. The waitress was at least knowledgeable about the menu and provided customer service.
1.2 stars for this visit. That's right.. 0.2. Dimples did just a bit better than Hui Lau Shan across the parking lot.
