The indoor temperature was also quite warm, which made it difficult to fully enjoy my meal, but the banana smoothie really helped cool me down—definitely my favorite part aside from the fried rice, broccoli, mushrooms, and orange chicken. I also tried the barbecue pork and fried chicken. They were okay—not bad, but not particularly impressive either. The crust on the chicken had a strange color underneath the brown fried surface; it looked almost like pancake or cornbread batter, and it was too thick for my taste. As for the barbecue pork, while some pieces were nicely done and enjoyable, others were a bit chewy, which I didn't like. I prefer my pork well-cooked. Overall, though, the food and hospitality were inviting. The smoothies will definitely keep me coming back, all the way from Highland Park, CA, even through the eerie parts of Downtown LA! It's all worth it—come hungry, dine in, and you'll leave satisfied!

I can't count how many times I've visited small Boba shops in East Los Angeles, only to be disappointed by undercooked or hardened Boba. So this experience was a breath of fresh air! I haven't tried the food yet, but I plan to do so soon.

Wonderful restaurant! The prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious. read more Wonderful restaurant! The prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious.

I bought a boba and a smoothie Both are great. Would I consider coming back? Maybe for drinks but not for food.They also have a small ice cream section.

This is my spot.OK, to start, they do things very differently here they don't go by items or a certain quantity like other locations. They go by weight. You serve yourself whatever you want, and as much as you want with no limits or upcharges, you can get a full plate of nothing but orange chicken or pineapple shrimp, and the price you pay is only on the actual weight of your food.They do accept mobile pay, so you can just tap away. But there is a fee behind the card payment that you the customer needs to cover. So bring cash or be prepared to pay that fee.Kid-friendliness: Lots of room.Parking: Parking on site.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, you can do all the wheelies you want.
