After walking past this place over the last three years I decided to finally stop in. After we entered it felt like a whole different space compared to outside. They helped us right away and had a lot of different offerings. I was really in the mood for something hot pot style and they recommended this Taiwanese dish. It was so delicious. It had meat, tofu, fish balls, and other things that I don’t know what they were. I will come back for sure. I also want to try some of their milk drinks and potted plant drinks.

Friendly staff and great service. Honey toast with chocolate was absolutely delicious. The fresh toast bread paired really well with mildly sweet ice cream.

I started with the fresh watermelon drink, which is essentially pureed watermelon served over ice — absolutely amazing! I was instantly hooked; I never wanted to leave. I also tried the squid soup, which my friend and I loved, despite its off-putting smell. We definitely plan to order it again! Everything was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too salty, and not too watery. My friend and I enjoyed a full meal, and it was so delicious that we ended up ordering a lot to take home. On a side note, the bathroom and the restaurant were both very clean and felt safe. I just wish they offered catering for birthdays or weddings!

I ordered popcorn chicken and milk tea today, and it was fantastic! The popcorn chicken was incredibly crunchy and juicy, and the portion size was generous. The service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely return to try more dishes!
