Lots of Instagram worthy photos from this place. Lots of their drinks definitely have that hoopla about them that will accrue a few likes from your social media followers. Aside from that, the food and drinks here aren't too bad. They're pretty good, not the best, but definitely good. Prices are in line with your typical tea houses and boba joints. It's nice and refreshing to see a place like this that does the Asian/Hispanic fusion of drinks and food items.
Combo Order: (Chicken/Veggies/Fries)
- Popcorn Chicken: The popcorn chicken that were offered when I ordered it was an option between their salt and pepper or BBQ sauce. Seeing how the BBQ chicken glistened, I imagined it would be quite sweet considering I planned on ordering a sweet drink as well, so I opted for the salt and pepper. They also give you the option of non spicy, medium, and spicy. I went with spicy. The chicken was delicious, albeit a bit salty, but definitely worth the order. Spices were on point and chicken was moist on the inside and with a light crunch on the outside.
- Fries: The fries were great. Much cleaner taste than a McDonalds fry and the Cajun seasoning was delicious. Added some spice to the fries and melded awesomely with the side of ranch.
- Veggies: The veggies that came with the combo were carrots and celery. Both were fresh and complimented the popcorn chicken. The side of ranch really helped to cooldown the spice levels associated with the chicken and the Cajun fries.
- Ube Milkshake: This sweet purple shake of pure stomach joygasms was worth the trip alone. It came with a toasted marshmallow, a sour gummy belt, and a marshmallow twist of sorts. Definitely a spectacle, but the shake itself was very good. Not overly sweet for a shake and still very satisfying. NOTE: When ordering a Combo, a drink is offered with it, despite this drink being one of the more expensive drinks, they don't charge for a variance at all. So it's nice getting this one when you get a combo.
- Split Drink (Milk Tea/Lychee Crush): Definitely enjoyed the idea of a cup that gives you two drinks. As with your usual tea houses, I had to try their Milk Tea. It was definitely very good, but no different from most other establishments. They executed it well though. The lychee crush was something different I haven't had. It was a very refreshing drink and provided a good contrast to the milk tea. The bits of fresh fruit and chia seeds in the lychee crush helped give it a wonderful texture for the drink. I'd definitely order either drink as a standalone if this place hadn't had offered the split drink cup.
Overall, this establishment has a reasonably good food menu for sharing. The foods here also include items such as Elote, which I hear are just ok, and hot Cheetos fries. Seems like a great place to grab a drink with friends and hangout for a while. Remember to hold onto your receipts, they ask for it before you can pickup your food despite giving you a buzzer for pickup. It appears they want to check off what's on your receipt to confirm you've gotten what you paid for.
