Pros:
The staff are friendly and pleasant.
There’s a nice display of colorful pastries and plenty of savory options to choose from.

Cons:
It would be great if the shop could adjust the taste of the iced milk coffee a bit. I’ve tried many iced milk coffees from different places, but this one was hard to drink and I couldn’t finish it.
The milk tea was quite mild and didn’t have much tea fragrance.
The air conditioning was also not very cool.

=> This is mainly a drink shop, so it might be worth reviewing the recipes to better match the tastes of your target customers.

I’ve enjoyed desserts, milk teas, smoothies, and various other items at this establishment over the years. I find their taste and quality to be consistently good. Their menu is extensive, offering a wide range of coffee and tea specials. On a recent weekend evening after dinner, I dropped by and ordered several slices of cake to take with me. It was a delightful way to conclude the evening! However, the only issue I encountered was the variability of their service. At times, you’re warmly greeted with a ‘Hi! Hello! Welcome!’ upon entering, but more often than not, the service lacks the same enthusiasm. It’s clear that customer service needs significant improvement. Nevertheless, the delectable desserts keep me coming back despite this. The treats are simply irresistible, and I can’t resist the temptation to visit, even with numerous other boba shops in the same plaza. Parking is plentiful, and if it’s not crowded, you can easily find a convenient spot nearby. The interior is cozy, but there’s outdoor seating available when the weather is pleasant. Whether it’s busy or not your preferred choice, you’re guaranteed to find something you like within Little Saigon Plaza!

Ordered 2 boba drinks, fish ball, cheese cake and cheese sticks. Only cheese cake and cheese sticks were edible, rest had to trash. Surprised to see paper napkins had to be requested, not provided with food and drinks. Probably was not excited to see my family in their shop. Once we trashed the drinks, we had better experience from Happy Lemon, in same complex.

This was my go to place for che in the vietnam town area. After the new owner change something tastes off. The drink is a bit too syrupy sweet even though we asked for half sugar. The place looks more simple and less cluttered now, but thr flavor of the drinks matter more to me. Will give it another try next time to see if it was just a one-off.

Edit: changing to 1 star because I and my friend started experiencing throat pain (her) and stomach pain (me) shortly after eating.

$9 for a cup of Che and the beans are undercooked lol. Also got a Che tray can and everything feels canned (which is rude considering the price). The fruit texture feels like everything has been sitting in a cup for way too long. The red tapioca pearls have either very little or no water chestnut, so it’s not the ones that typically go in Che. They’re almost entirely tapioca and feel rather undercooked.

The other reviews are right. This used to be a top tier Che place in the area but the new management sucks. Never going again

Calamari- 10/10
Mango drink (Shine like a star) – 10/10
Tiramisu Cake – a big 7/10 (meeeh, flavour is amazing although I would like more cake and less cream. Chocolate cup is okay I think it’s just there for decorating purposes.)

Cakes and cookies are not fresh !
I had the worst cheesecake of my life, the pistachio cheesecake was so bad, it was at least a half week old! When we complained about it, they said this is how the cake supposed to be!!! No kidding !
A plastic fork was broken while I was trying to grab a piece from the cake
The staff member was polite and refunded my money though!

Not recommended for pastries

I believe this place is now run under a new management. The menu has changed but the name and layout remain the same. As a non Vietnamese speaking person, I found it hard to order the drinks due to the language barrier. I suggest to add numbers next to the food name to reduce confusion and expedite the ordering process.

I order Che Bo which has avocado pudding and the actual avocado chucks. I wish the avocado pieces are smaller. The avocado chunks make it harder to eat and don’t blend well together with the rest of the ingredients.

Been coming here for years and the recent changes have been terrible. The green jellies are super hard, almost uncooked. The drinks have a lot fewer toppings and overall quality. The new owner is also rude and was not willing to adjust my drink when I made complaints. Will probably never come here again. It’s a shame because this used to be my go to place for che.
