It was just okay, probably wouldn’t come again given how many better options there are. The milk tea tasted off and I didn’t love the pudding either. The rolled ice cream was really hard? Like broke the fork from trying to get a bite hard. The flavor was good it was the thai tea one but the texture was so bad unfortunately

servis is very important, passed or number which extended our waiting time by 40 minutes and they couldn’t even say sorry for the mistake. lost us at the service.

The worst service of my life. We ordered via the touchscreen, but the machine didn't give us a receipt; then, when we asked for the restroom code, the guy serving us gave us the wrong code four times.

It was really good,I got the strawberry smoothie with 50% sugar, and the strawberry popping boba balls! It is really sweet and good, also the service is amazing, the workers had my drink within 3 or so, minutes! The decoration is beautiful, and it's really aesthetic.
