Ooh Cha about that boba and dumplings!
Time: 15:15 on a Saturday afternoon
Seating & Ambiance: High tables joined with bar stools and a coffee table surrounded by a mini loveseat and chairs. The interior reminds me of the Asian store/cafe combos I grew up frequenting. There is quite a bit of marketing and merchandise throughout the interior, for both sections. When you enter, the right side of the suite is the cafe with posters providing the variety of common Asian dishes and mostly displaying drinks and desserts. On the left, there's a store front including many knick knacks, costume jewelry, hair accessories, makeup, clothing, and more.
Customer Service: I advised the cashier of this being my first visit and what I've had at other boba places in the past. I asked what she'd recommend, and blindly agreed to order the highly recommended Panda Drink. Just to the right of the register was a picture of dumplings that brought back childhood memories. I added dumplings to my order, anticipating a wonderful delight. The boba was prepared in not more than five minutes. Whereas, the steamed dumplings required a longer preparation time, that was under 20 minutes but more than 10 minutes. I would have preferred an anticipated time frame for the dumplings, as time was not mentioned during the order. A star in this review was not added for this reason. Fortunately, time was not a factor, today.
Quality of Food: The Panda Drink was perfectly prepared with white boba that had a slightly firmer density and sweetness and the traditional dark brown boba. The two boba shades are likely why the drink is the Panda Drink. The taste was light caramel with maybe a subtle hint of a tea. I am not sure what the ingredients consisted of, but know the Panda Drink is what I'll order in the future. The dumplings did not disappoint my palate! They were of the right kind of moist, doughy, and flavorful texture with a pork and vegetable blend within that satisfied my expectations.
Overall Experience: I will visit Ooo Cha Edmond when I am in the mood for a nice afternoon drink and snack. I recommend this place for those wanting to experience boba and/or dumplings without driving to downtown Oklahoma City.
Note: I did not venture to the store side. So, this review is not relevant...
Read moreOne of my absolute favorite boba places, and they have good food!
I've been going to this place for the last probably about 2 years now and it is hands down my favorite boba place to go I waited a long time to write this review because I really wanted to get the feel of the place and I can promise you that this place is hands down incredible whenever I go in there I get a solemn warm welcoming every single time and he almost knows me by name. It is locally owned.
I started my only ordering tease off of their main list of suggested teas for people who have never had one before. Soon I evolved into ordering my own fancy written editions of different t's with different boba styles and everything was always hands down incredible I've never had a bad situation of service never had a bad time of waiting I've never not enjoyed what I ordered even if it was something that seemed like it would be bad, was incredible.
I recently started ordering their food because he has a lot of food options and I didn't know what I would like or what would actually come out of the kitchen looking delicious and I can comfortably say I regret nothing.
The food is the establishment so far from what I have been able to acquire and my last couple of visits has been hands down amazing The decent servings they're not really ever priced and the food is just delicious.
Overall I would honestly say this is my favorite restaurant and all of Edmond and I would give it a best restaurant award for being locally owned having incredible food good prices having a rewards card and a wonderful environment with good social distancing practices.
I wish there was more I could do but I truly hope that this review brings in more customers for this guy because I genuinely love this place and I want to see this place...
