"I am not the biggest fan of Pho. Every time I have had it the broth has not been flavorful and I had to do a bunch of magic to get it somewhere. I much rather have ramen at Genki.However, when I took one sip of that broth at Pho Kimmy I knew I was in for a treat. Such rich flavors that I didn't even bother adding anything else to it. My one gripe is that the meat was overcooked. My wife got the chicken and she couldn't eat it because it was too tough. Everything else was very good. We both had the iced Vietnamese coffee which was great for a hot, summer day. The service was excellent. Our wait time was minimal. And the place was nice and quiet. Lovely noodle lunch."
"I'm seriously addicted to the Milk Jar Cafe. My favorite is Ceylon with Milk. I love that you can adjust things like sweetness, ice level, and of course add ons like boba.I do prefer the one in Anderson because of the store atmosphere, but the people who work at both are equally lovely and kind."
"This tchotchke-laden dining hall boasts Malaysian, authentic Chinese and American Chinese menus, as well as Bubble Teas.Tea 'n' Bowl will have you coming back to explore again and again. Nestled near campus up in Clifton, this is a great spot for walkup and carryout. They offer dine-in, but it is by no means a large space. Definitely worth checking out more than once."
"Delicious Boba and exceptional owners!Friendly staff, lovely treats and fair pricing.Brava!"
"Ambiance wise it is plain and simple, so either you eat there quickly or take it to go which is what I did. This is the perfect place to stop in after a Costco trip nearby on my way home. It was a nice surprise to find this place and you get a decent portion (even though I ordered the smaller portion). I only wished the noodles were more al dente and I could taste a little bit of the chlorine in the water. I bet if they filtered their water that problem would be solved. I will try it again to go."
"I ordered the hibachi steak and chicken with fried rice, plus broccoli and onion added on (for $1 each) and an order of crab Rangoon. Added a ginger sauce for $.50 too. The hibachi was good overall. The chicken was flavorful and cooked well. The rice, broccoli, onion and mushroom all seemed to be made from fresh produce too. The steak was quite chewy, so I wouldn't order it again. The yum yum sauce and ginger sauce were good but a little runny. Crab Rangoon was standard. Crispy and full of cream cheese. It comes with sweet and sour sauce as opposed too sweet chili. I only did carryout so my interaction with staff was limited - not super welcoming but they were dead so probably just bored. Overall I would order from there again."
"Very cute, small shop with some delicious tasting drinks! I got the tiger milk black tea with oat milk sub (order details with picture) and my boyfriend got the tiger matcha milk tea. The oat milk made the drink so light and refreshing, I definitely would recommend it as a substitute if you can't have dairy! They also selling mochi donuts, but unfortunately didn't try them this time around and if you can't stop in for a while, they have a drive thru.Definitely a good boba spot in Dayton!"
"Hubby and I visited Time For Noodle for a late lunch (about 2 p.m.) on a Saturday afternoon. We walked in and were immediately greeted. The server gave us time to look at the menu in line before we ordered at the counter. While we decided she prepared a table for us with water and silverware ready. We started with an order of avacado egg rolls. I ordered the Pad Thai, and hubby ordered the Duck Noodle Soup. I should probably mention she asked me what spice level for the Pad Thai (1 to 5), and I said 0. Lol. While we waited for our food (less than five minutes), we admired the beautiful restaurant and saw many Doordashers and other people picking up take-out orders. While we were there, only one other party joined us in the dining room, but there were at least 7 take-out orders. When the food arrived, it was really hot and smelled amazing. When I took my first bite of my Pad Thai, my immediate involuntary response was to verbalize a big mmmmmmm. I haven't experienced Pad Thai that good in 20 years! I let Hubby have a taste, and his reaction was the same! The duck in his soup was expertly cooked, and the broth was perfectly flavorful. We chatted a bit with the server, telling her how good everything was. We will definitely be back and maybe as soon as next weekend!"
"My family and I have loved Milk Jar for the past couple years. Their quality and service has always been amazing! However, we were always really excited to get their amazing poke & are now very disappointed that they have discontinued the "meal" portion of their establishment. To the milk jar owners, PLEASE open up a poke place in West Chester we would love to support it!!"
"So many options and we loved everything we had! Great place to introduce someone new to bubble tea! Nice areas to sit outside too!"
"What a cute spot in OTR!! If you like bubble tea, this is the place for you. My husband and I each got fruit tea bubble tea on a hot day and they were delicious. I love getting a mix of tapioca and fruit pop boba for a bit of variety. It's a small shop but service is super fast and friendly. Will definitely be back--they have an extensive menu!"

The poke spot du jour is between Washington Park and Findlay Market, so a good location to walk by. I found their options pretty numerous, though getting greens for a base gave me only iceberg lettuce (there were rice and noodle options if I was hungrier). When I asked for tofu I was offered the option to split with avocado if I wanted to keep everything vegetarian, which I declined but it's nice to have the option and the attention to such matters. My tofu was cooked flavorfully, but was served cold, along with a nice array of vegetables. As is generally the case with poke places, this was a pricey bowl, but it was full and had good quality ingredients. I was offered some sauce but barely needed it. Bubble tea was on offer as well.They seemed to have quite an efficient takeout system running.

Pho Kimmy is by far one of the best Vietnamese cuisine you can have in the area! The Pho is incredible and always on point! It's always refreshing and filling! Their service is always excellent and I've never had a bad experience even after having over a dozen separate meals! The ambiance is very homely and it's nice to see pictures of the owners family. They even have a cool little fish tank.I hope Pho Kimmy never goes out of business since it's an amazing restaurant. I would choose Pho Kimmy to celebrate an occasion (as I am doing today) over fairly high end dining any day of the week. It's well worth the trip and they never disappoint. 11/10 would recommend to a friend.

I started going to Tea 'n' Bowl when I was a college student at UC and I was so glad to see it's still thriving so many years later.We walked in and I noticed that they have a lot of fun items to browse in the shop, trinkets, keychains, stickers, jewelry and more. There are a limited amount of dine in seats as well as a kiosk up front to make to-go orders.We opted to place a to go order for a couple milk teas and I ordered a coconut almond milk tea and my husband ordered a Thai tea. I browsed all the little gift items while we waited for our drinks. It was a bit claustrophobic in there, but you could easily wait outside if you prefer.My tea was delicious, just like I remember from my college days and my husband enjoyed his Thai tea as well. I wish we had time to stay for food, the menu has changed but I see people on Yelp have amazing things to say about their menu items. Next visit we'll have to stop in again.

I started going about a month or so ago when I moved across the street and I'm full blown addicted. The service is incredible, I originally had no idea what to get and the staff walked me through the entire process. I'm now fully obsessed with the blueberry smoothie, it's become a a daily part of my day. Highly highly recommend.

If you want one of the best small, family-owned Vietnamese restaurants in the Cincinnati area, iPho is where you want to be. Service is always fast and friendly, and they top that off with having a variety of noodle and rice dishes, smoothies, vietnamese coffee, and many other things! My personal favorite to get is the Bun bo Hue and Ca Phe Sua Da, but this time I got the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio and it definitely hit the spot!

The restaurant is very clean & tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful although the language barrier can sometimes cause misunderstandings. It's pricey. You have to pay the full meal price whether or not you plan to eat at the hibachi. So if you're not super hungry, or if you don't want to take advantage of the unlimited hibachi, I'd recommend skipping this. The sushi is nothing to write home about, but the desserts are fairly decent and the hibachi is delicious. You have a wide array of vegetables and noodles to choose from, along with five different types of meats. There's also vegan options. We enjoy eating here, but it's expensive so it's an occasional treat.

I ordered a sakura milk tea with cherry blossom crystal boba, 50% sweetness and 50% ice. Love the pink color! 50% sweetness of my drink is perfect. However, my friend ordered a winter melon tea with regular boba, also 50% sweetness and ice, but it's tooooo sweet (from the boba syrup). So I think they should have better quality control on the sweetness level. (I would give a five star if their sweetness level is more consistent). The service is okay. I went there on a Saturday so there's a lot of people. It takes a while to get the order and the drinks.This is a tiny store so there's not many seating area. It's more like a grab and go place. They have a post it notes wall! People can write and draw on a post it notes and pin into the wall. That's really cute! I will recommend this place to the people who wants to try boba tea. They have a wide selection which you may not find it in many boba tea store in OH!

"Cutest boba shop around-- the pink couches are from my dreams! Happy Sugar is brand new and surrounded by other great shops like TJ Maxx and Fresh Thyme Market. A perfect spot to grab a treat while shopping with the girls. I'm not a boba snob but I have had a big enough variety to spot a good milk tea. Happy Sugar is great! Brown Sugar milk teas can be overly sweet but not at HS, the milk/sugar/boba ratio is literally perfect! Aside from milk tea drinks they also offer sweet treats.Unfortunately, they're not offering Thai tea right now nor is online order working but I'm excited to watch Happy Sugar succeed!"
"My youngest has wanted to visit this shop for some time. We were in the area for an appointment, so I figured it was a good time to check it out.It is a nice little coffee/boba shop. There is a huge selection of drinks and also rolled ice cream. We decided to go with a drink and we both had the Dirty Milk Boba. It was pretty good for the first drink I had from the business. It is pretty much mild, Boba, and Brown Sugar. We found this place interesting and will not hesitate to return when in the area. I look forward to trying another one of their specialty drinks."
"Came by on a cold quiet Monday after a long workday. They had just opened up shop for 1 month. The store was empty and I was greeted by a pleasant/cheerful cashier. There was a odd industrial aroma walking into the store that was neither pleasant nor foul. An electic assortment of furniture was laid out for guests to lounge. The owner is a Hong Kong native so surely the boba tea had to be exceptional, or so I thought.I decided on 1/2 sugar Hong style milk tea with boba. The drink was prepared luke warm in a store-themed container. The tapioca was the most indeed very flavorful boba I could tell it was fresh. However, some of the balls were tad bit firm and they did stick together in the cup making it difficult to sip through the straw. Boba is supposed to have a super soft and chewy texture and compliment the drink it sits, this was not the case. The actual drink itself was flat, lacked flavor or was masked by a prominant black tea note. There was no detectable creaminess or silkiness from the milk.Overall, despite the wonderful service/cashier, the ambiance, decor and drink leaves much to be desired if this place hopes to be the defacto boba spot for the local youth in Cincinnati."
"Kid friendly and inexpensive. I love some street food with great service . Stopped here with the kids before the haunted house . They didn't have the guts to try the bánh mì so they had pizza as a option which was great . They sale sodas and waters and even had some Halloween candy. Service was cool , they even brought it out to our table , which a girl can appreciate! It's a nice pit stop inside the levee!"
"Great selection of boba drinks. Customer service could be better, but the drinks make up for it."
"Cute boba tea shop in the area. I have ordered drinks ahead online here (such a helpful efficient feature) and it has been delightful. So far I have tried the mango coconut latte and brown sugar bubble tea."
"The best boba. So delicious! The yummy taro is indeed yummy. I got it 50% sweet and it was perfect. The taro was slightly thick like applesauce consistency and it can easily get through the straw. I added mango boba. It was so fresh. I will be back for sure to try more items. There are tables to sit and eat and plenty of parking."
"Staff was friendly & efficient. I ordered a strawberry black tea bubble tea and my daughter a strawberry smoothie with boba. I was given a strawberry green tea but that's ok. My had a floral taste to it & the boba were starting to get hard like they had been sitting all day. The place kind of smelled like a veterinarian office. My daughter did enjoy her smoothie but I will probably not come here again."
"Wat Da Pho! Delicious...recommend to all those curious starting with the P5 chicken and P2 Brisket & Steak! You'll be back!"
"Let me say ..YES ,YES,YES!!!! We discovered this little business in liberty center mall .We live on the west side of Hamilton.So when I heard one was moving so close to me .We were so excited .My favorite is the avocado smoochie with the regular Boba .When you watch them scoop a avocado and a half in a large .It will make you smile .Its lightly sweetened .Its my go to .But I have had a coconut smoochie with coconut/Lychee jelly .Lord have mercy .So delicious but more sweet than I'm supposed to have .Also the Taro smoochie with strawberry popping pearls is my daughters favorite.The crepes are such a treat ,Filled with nutella and strawberries and bananas .Ive never had a savory one .The owners are so genuine and sweet .I always feel good about spending money there .I want to try the coffee jelly drink .Thats next on my list ."
"This place is cozy and perfect for a nice bubble tea run! I like the touch screen order because it's efficient and the workers"
"I absolutely LOVE Boba Tea -- (the drink), and always try to get one whenever I can. This time, I was in for a pleasant suprise.BobaTea is a cozy storefront located in the Greenhills Plaza. The inside was very clean and inviting, complete with tables and chairs. The menu was fairly extensive and the owner(s) made sure almost everything had a description. I ordered a Strawberry Mango Mixed Fruit and a Mango Passionfruit for my wife. I added rainbow jellies to both, by the owner's recommendation. From the first sip to the last, I was in flavorful bliss.The flavors were smooth and refreshing. The jellies added a nice variety to the drink. My wife enjoyed her drink as well.I would encourage anyone who likes Boba Tea or refreshing fruity drinks to visit here."
"I honestly love this place! The workers Are so nice, usually young lady's just saving up for college or just off the school bus to work, but beware! If you give tips on card the lady's making the ice cream do not receive those tips! Try to tip CASH ONLY! Again love this place though. Fast and fun icecream."
"1/2 price regular sushi rolls Sunday-Tuesday and you cannot go wrong!! Their poke bowls are great too, and always have super friendly service."
"Loved grabbing a quick to go boba from this cute little place. There is an easy to use screen for placing orders and the worker got right on our Strawberry bobas. It was delicious and the perfect amount of sugary. While you wait, customers are welcome to doodle with art supplies given and to hand their art on the collection on the walls. My friend and I drew a capybara and the woman working overheard us and gave us all free capybara stickers! I'm excited for my next time to come back and can't wait to show more friends this spot."
"So we walked in around an hour before closing. Not busy. Clean space. Fun combos. Ice cream was great. My one gripe, I couldn't do a different ice cream flavor in one of the rolls. So there isn't a BOY option, and I really wanted to switch out a flavor for another. Sad. I didn't get what I wanted, but it was pretty good ice cream. We had this same type of ice cream in London Canada and it was admittedly better to be able to build my own combo."
"It was great nice staff cool vibe demon slayer music playing so that's a plus it was not too sweet but just sweet enough definitely recommend"
"love this place so much! great place to study or hang out with friends! the interior is so cute with a good amount of seating, games to play, and good music! everything is always clean and the workers are very friendly & helpful. my favorite items to order are the signature fruit tea and the passion bomb with popping pearls. it is a little pricey but totally worth it!"
"We order a Bubble Tea and a Mango Smoothie and both were delicious. I recommend this place. Pricing was a little high I thought, but overall very good."
"We stopped by Milk Jar to get a second boba of the day during our one day trip to Cincinnati. This boba, unfortunately, was not great.Oolong Mik Tea, Large, 70% Sweet, w/ Boba - 70% was not sweet enough, probably should have gotten normal sweetness for this one, The flowery oolong taste was somehow only barely visible even with less sweetness, I felt like this was watered down. I believe they use real milk in their milk teas, so watch out if you are lactose intolerant. The worst part of the drink was the boba - for the most part, it was hard and lumpy. Some pieces had a very disturbing rough and dotted texture on the surface that really ruined the drink. Just not great in general. Price was also a bit on the expensive side at $6.90.I don't recommend adding tapioca boba to your drink here. Perhaps the other toppings are better."
"Cute little coffee shop with sandwiches. We stopped here after a soccer tournament in Sidney and it was a nice break/ rest from the game. The kids had fun playing games they have for use"
"I've tried a few of the drinks and they never disappoint! The place feels authentic just like the ones back in California.The service is pretty good and they are quick with making their drinks! The only things I would say is their boba pearls were a little too firm for my liking, but it is nothing that would keep me from revisiting."
