Again, we were both happy with our choices. Overall, a very satisfying meal that didnt...

The food was good, with lots of menu options. Huge flavored drink menu of teas, boba drinks, and slushy things. And the ladies working there were nice, friendly, and made good drink recommendations. Skip panda express...
