Description

Nestled in Ames, OnePlus One captivates with its charming atmosphere, reminiscent of a cozy boba shop. Diners rave about the bubble tea and unique dishes like black pepper udon and kung pao chicken. While some menu items receive high praise, such as the Taiwan popcorn chicken and crab rangoons, others find fault with inconsistency in quality and portion sizes, leading to mixed experiences. Despite a few complaints about service and perceived discrimination, the restaurant remains a favorite for its affordable prices and fresh ingredients, making it a must-visit for students and locals alike.

I can say without a doubt that the black pepper pork udon is the best dish I've ever had. The service is outstanding, and the bubble tea is excellent. Rating it 10/10 doesn't even do it justice!

The best bubble tea we've ever tasted! I highly recommend the signature milk tea with pearls and the Thai tea ice cream drinks.

The service was quick, and the tea was excellent. However, parking can be quite a hassle, so it's much more convenient to walk from campus.

This resturant seems to primarily market itself as a boba shop, but do NOT underestimate their food. Prices are relatively high and absolutely worth every penny, my usual order of an entree and tea comes to about $23. I don't really have anything negative to say. Great food, great atmosphere, great local business. I will miss this place if/when I move out of Ames. Price per person: $10–20

I can’t believe that I haven’t eaten here more often! I knew this place for their boba when they first opened, but I didn’t realize how amazing their food was until today. I got the popcorn chicken (thanks to other good reviews) and the salt pepper ribs. Both were amazing! My husband got the spicy pork in chili oil and also loved it as a fan of spicy food like that. Can’t wait to keep trying other menu items here now! Service: Takeaway
