  Came here during lunch to satisfy my cravings for some bubble tea. This is a small Taiwanese restaurant with a wide variety of drink offerings similar to other typical Taiwanese shops.

  I got a mango greentea with less sugar. I didn't really have high expectations going in but liked that they used mango purée instead of straight-up syrup.
  
  Pretty standard but for $3.80 (after discount), it was quite worth. The cashier was super friendly and patient as well! I can't say much about the food as I only came for drinks but their menu looked good...will be back to try it out!

  I swing by there to buy kiwi slush after lunch. Since a lot of people had mentioned @ review, it was good. Nothing can go wrong. I saw they put 2 whole kiwi and 3 scoops of ice inside the blender,  then pour into a plastic cup, then put in machine to seared cover on top. It's not worth for $5.50. Still a lot of crunchy ice inside.
  
  It was just only 2 customers around 1 pm on Saturday?!

  I ordered the milky hotpot, Taiwanese fried nuggets and spicy tofu on rice as well as gyozas, I'd say half of the dishes didn't turn out as tasty as I had hoped. The tofu didn't taste right and I was less than thrilled to finish it, the milk hotpot was nothing special either but not terrible. I've definitely had better ones elsewhere though. I'd recommend the staff to try similar dishes from other restaurants' and try to improve their recipes while tasting what they cook too.

  Giant beer glass filled with bubble tea is found at Typhoon BBT. Most places now offer the brown sugar pearl milk tea and I'm slowly checking each place off. The one here is just average but you do get more than what you'd pay for elsewhere.
  
  I also tried their Typhoon specialty chicken nuggets which has some lemon juice and other spices other than salt & pepper (according to the server). The chicken was deep fried very nicely; light and crunchy but I prefer the regular salt & pepper taste.
  
  Also got their Taiwanese sausage to share. I didn't quite like it. It's on the sweet side. Kind of like eating a Chinese dried sausage without the rice. A bit odd for me.
  
  Prices are reasonable.

  I wanted beef noodle soup and bubble tea so we found this restaurant thanks to Yelp. We were seated right away. Menus were offered and we placed our order shortly afterwards.
  
  Service was a bit iffy. We had to ask our server twice for water and she dropped off cups of hot water when we were expecting cold water. I guess because we are in Richmond and most people like to drink warm water? The water tasted hint of detergent soapy. At least, the staff are cleaning their cups somewhat, but I rather not drink soapy water.
  
  Then my bowl of noodles arrived but not my date's. His bowl seem to have been forgotten as other tables were receiving their orders. We asked our server and she said they were making it. We both ordered beef noodles so why did only one bowl come out so much faster other than the order getting missed. I did enjoy the beef shank and tendons noodle soup. Beef and tendon were both tender. I love thick noodles too and the noodles had a good chew. The soup base was decent.
  
  The fresh fruit slush was the highlight. I really enjoyed my raspberry slush as it was made well with strong raspberry flavour and a hint of milk. It was so good that we got a fresh kiwi slush to go for the trip home. Kiwi slush was also very tasty.
