Decided to Postmates a few drinks & snacks from this place. Most items were decent but their were some shortcomings. Maybe because I ordered so close to their closing time.
ITEM'S ORDERED:
Iced Assam Black Tea (non sweetened) Cold Brew (non sweetened) Iced Jasmine Green Tea (non sweetened) Iced Matcha Latte (soy, non sweetened) Popcorn Chicken House Spicy Zha Jiang Mian (75% spicy)
TASTE:
All the teas were pretty decent here with good flavoring & didn't taste oversteeped/bitter, but also weren't washed out.
The Iced Matcha Latte did have a weeker flavor of matcha than I usually like despite being quite green. But the gf informed me when she was at this establishment in person an employee explained their matcha is from a region in Japan that specifically produces "lighter" flavored matcha. So yeah.
The Cold Brew had a strong flavor which I usually like but I didn't find the actual coffee flavor that pleasant. Must be the beans they use just don't work for my palate. But I imagine others may like it.
The Popcorn Chicken was alright popcorn chicken, maybe just a little blander than I've had. It was just a really small portion.
The House Spicy Zha Jiang Mian comes alongside a little spring mix side salad. The noodles just kinda look like a light red meat sauce & actualy tastes like that mixed with some good chili oil. That's not a bad thing, it's actually a pretty good flavor, little sweet, spicy, & savory from the minced pork. Big fan of the wide noodles.
SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING:
This was a Postmates order so no comments directly on service.
Although I didn't appreciate having a big basil stem in the popcorn chicken which was one of the smallest portions I've ever seen. I usually make it a point to not order from a place so close to closing but still.
They are located on Mission St & Meridian Ave. If you're lucky you'll find street parking right on Mission & I think there's a few spots in the back of the building. Otherwise you should be able to find residential parking not too far off.
In the end most the items were alright but with all the drink places in the local area I'm not rushing to return back here. But I'm also not opposed...
Read moreI came here today for a quick lunch with my s/o before work, so I was in a hurry to eat.
Let me begin with the atmosphere, it is very modern and cozy.
When we went up to order, a nice young gentleman about the age of 18 or younger took our order. We made our order, everything was perfect.
Now mistakes happen every so often and it is not a big deal. Today may not have been our cashier's day, because he might have misheard or maybe just forgot to input our dish. I had ordered two minced pork rice dishes and was only served one plate. To my dismay I was quite disappointed but not upset. I was going to suck it up and wait for the second dish but time was very short for me, so decided to not have it, and my s/o could just get food on his own time.
To my pleasure, the owner/Managers we're persistent on making it a pleasurable experience and insisted on giving us the meal on them. My s/o and I are very simple and easy going people and didn't mind the mistake, but the management today felt bad. I couldn't thank them enough for trying to fix a mishap situation and make it a very heartwarming experience for my s/o and I.
Thank you for being so professional and on top of that, kind. I give this place 5/5 stars for outstanding service. I will definitely come again.
To the young server that messed up, it's okay! You're doing a superb job, continue with that bubbly...
Read moreCame here with my friend around 4:45 PM today on a Tuesday. Only 2 other people were in line ordering when we arrived. Also, 4 staff members were working/making drinks that appeared college or high school age.
I ordered a regular size honey lavender tea 50% sweetness, and my friend ordered a regular size passion fruit green tea with cheese foam 75% sweetness.
I LOVED their honey lavender tea. About a year and a half ago, I went to the lavender fields in SoCal for the first time in my life, and have always CRAVED fresh, delicious lavender tea since. This really hit the spot!
My friend said her drink was good! I don't think she liked her drink as much as I did but she still enjoyed it and liked the cheese foam!
Only -1 star because it took them almost 25 minutes to make our drink. We noticed they had a lot of mobile/online orders but there were only 2 other people who ordered before us?... Not sure why it took so long.
Overall impression: 5/5 for their honey lavender tea
-1 star for long wait time. If you come here, I suggest bringing a friend to chit chat, or if you're by yourself, prepare to scroll on your phone, check your email/Yelp/ Instagram, or bring a book.
Despite the wait, I would still come back for their honey...
