When I reflect on Asian restaurants, what never ceases to amaze me is that while employees are typically quite proficient at reciting a well written English script, they are nonetheless equally perplexed, bewildered, and thrown into a morass of utter confusion, if one asks a question which may deviate from the prepared dialogue in any way. This proclivity might make perfect sense, if Brevard County were home to an overwhelmingly large Asian community but alas, it is not.

I arrived very early Monday morning, and I’m quite certain that fish is not delivered on Sundays. Therefore, I can confidently deduce that the tuna used in both the bowl, and the sushi were lovingly stored with care. Remarkably, the tuna tasted as if it had been caught this very morning and filleted to perfection. Both the tuna poke bowl, and the tuna avocado roll were excellent.

I will submit, however; if the ever dreadful, and assuredly cardialgia inducing seaweed salad had been withheld from the tuna poke bowl as requested, this had potential to be a five-star review.

My sister and I were craving a boba tea and as we are both new to the Melbourne area, we decided to try this place as it was closest to us. Overall, everything was very underwhelming. First of all....the boba pearls were old, hard and stale. This seems like something you should really strive to properly produce being a boba tea place. Secondly, the customer service was completely lacking. No thank you, no "have a nice day", not even a smile. The whole place has a weird smell like old, smoky grease. The business is located in an obscure area and the signage is small and hard to see from the road.

I wish I could recommend going here as I love to support small, local businesses, but they seriously need to...

This place is absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming here and only here for boba and poke bowls for a while now. My girlfriend and I love it here, everything about this place is amazing. Their boba milk teas and fruit teas are the best of the best and they give you A LOT of tea and boba. Everything is also so customizable! We just had poke bowls for our first time and it did not disappoint one bit. I had shrimp tempura, and my girlfriend and chicken. The owners are also the kindest ever and they’re always happy and giving best customer service. I always am happy to be here and they put a big smile on my face every time. If you haven’t been here before you need to give it a...
