Blossom Tea House — Restaurant in Oxnard

Overall, very 'average' for the one time I went in. The service was decent, but you can tell that there isn't that much business (might be due to location, might be due to Covid)

The food... is about average. The rice? For the meal I had, it was AMAZING - very flavorful and cooked in broth (or similar). Everything else was average at best. The meat was over-salted and a bit sour, and you could barely get any flavor from it outside of those two. That said, it was probably meant to be mixed into the rice to be eaten -- which I did, and it turned out to taste pretty good that way. Everything else in the meal was average, with a very plain over-easy egg and a small salad

The Boba was a disappointment though. Overcooked and left standing in liquid for far too long that the boba was practically falling apart due to how soft it became. The drink I ordered was not impressive at all. The presentation was there (I think it was the "butterfly" or something with the lavender to yellow gradient...?), but the flavor was nothing special as it was practically a very plain and unsweetened lemonade

Unless you are looking for specific culturally styled cooked meal from here, you have other options that are going to be more appealing. General "Asian Food"? Look elsewhere. Something resembling some very specific South-East Asian cooking for the feeling of home? This may be a pretty...

Blossom Tea House is a hidden gem! They offer some delicious Asian fusion dishes, as well several tasty drinks (with boba!).

FOOD: There's a small selection of delicious items on their chalkboard menu. I usually order from their bento box choices, my favorite being the pork. The portions are generous in size too. As for the beverages, they offer several types: Tea, Coffee, Smoothie. I like the teas, and I always order them with boba.

PRICE: The food isn't too pricey. You could get by with around $10 for a meal.

SERVICE: The service is a bit slow. It's a small "mom 'n' pop" type place. At any given time, there seems to be only 2-3 staff present, including the cook.

LOCATION: Luckily, it's not located in any of the major shopping centers, so there's always parking. But at the same time, that also makes it a bit out-of-the-way unless you live in...

The food was okay. But the drinks were disappointing. Boba was stale. The milk tea and Thai ice tea both tasted weird. I don't know quite exactly what made them taste weird, but they are not that good. I thought the best was the green smoothie, which was a bit too expensive for what you get... Orange chicken was probably the best here. Popcorn chicken was okay, but it was a bit dry. Garlic noodle was not garlicky enough because it needed more garlic. Curry was pretty decent, although it was bit too wet for my taste. I am a bit suspicious about the other high ratings here... Be careful not to trust all the...
