Excellent Japanese-Taiwanese spot. 1) I got the karaage chicken rice bowl with the side of curry sauce. It was excellent. 2) Also, got the Taiwanese style popcorn chicken. It is a must get item. 3) The Taiwanese sausage is excellent. Highly recommend.
I got off late from work and I have less than half hour to grab a takeout before I catch my train. I passed by this shop and it looks like a place I can grab something quick. Manager JJ is super friendly and accommodating. I told him I need to catch a train and he said he will tell the kitchen to expedite my order. I ordered chicken teriyaki salad. Food was okay , portion was decent. Definitely will come back to try out other food and drinks.
Food / Drink (4/5): Had the pineapple mango jelly tea and it was quite refreshing. Solid choice. Service (4/5): Drink came out fast but they initially tried to charge me the wrong amount. They said it was the online price that they accidentally set initially. Ambiance (4/5): Decent amount of seating inside but the air conditioning didn't work so it was uncomfortably hot. Looks nicely colored but a bit outdated.
Don't let the name, fool you! OK, so I always thought this was just a bubble tea store, but they also have some of my favorites, Japanese curry plates, Ramen, Katsu, and rice bowls. And to top it all off, they have spam Musubi ($5.00) which is what I'm here for today.... So let's talk about the spam, musubi, standard size with fried spam on rice with a mayo and sesame seed, dressing wrapped in Nori and topped with ginger. Nothing super special, but it was Ono for being 10,000 miles away from home. Interior seating for 20, friendly service,, and they have free Wi-Fi all while playing Japanese anime. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other entrées on the menu. Feel free to follow me on Yelp and visit me on X / Instagram @noodlesoupr
The Staff were very friendly and super helpful. I got the regular and spicy tonkostu both were awesome and the broths were great. The vibe in the restaurant is also very nice
I got the flaming brown sugar and it was really good. I got it with less sugar and less ice and it was perfect. The smallest size was the right amount. The brown sugar boba were sweet, melt in your mouth and not too hard and not too chewy. They have paper straws which are great for the environment but very difficult to poke a whole through the plastic topper. I was struggling and it messily got the straw through the plastic. The drink with tax cost $7, normal price I have seen for boba around here. The staff were really nice and friendly. The place has a decent amount of tables inside to sit and a restroom. They also have a bunch of food options.
This is so much a cute place. Very inviting. We were assisted by Michael. He's awesome. Very friendly and very helpful in suggestions for their drinks, fruit drinks, milk tea etc. Great indoor seating and multiple options for food. Super easy to order and very fast receiving our drinks. To top it all off, music is entertaining as well as conversations while waiting for our drinks about drinks, food and Hawaii lol. Dude, out of the blue, Michael offered us a cancelled drink. I love this place. The crazy thing was that the cancelled drink was a Taro Milk Tea less ice with 0% sugar ... that's my usual order when I order Taro Milk Tea. It was meant to be I guess . When I come back, I'm definitely coming back here. I'm such a milk tea boba fanatic so YESSSSS... please come by and continue to help this small business so they continue to be successful in giving back such great service.
