Goatea

Goatea just remodeled and are looking to expand their menu. In the old tradition, I will give them a full review.Pros:Clean shop, newly remodeledHuge parking lot shared with Lowe'sBubble tea and snacksCons:Traffic from multiple businessesStill expanding (worth the patience)The new menu says they will be doing teriyaki in the near future. I am looking forward to this.For myself, I prefer my milk tea. They serve bubble tea, small snacks, milk tea, smoothies, and a few other items.Earl Grey Milk Tea: Something about it is just amazing. It takes away the bitterness of the tea but still tastes good. It comes out cold as it is served with milk. I am still learning the bubble tea thing but you can add toppings and things as you like. I prefer it plain.Spring rolls: Super quick snack that actually has some flavor. I look forward to how they expand and what the menu does around Asian foods. I am a teriyaki connoisseur.Chicken Tenders: 4 strips for $7 isn't the cheapest in town but for a quick snack, I find it worth the trip.All in all I have been well taken care of when I am a guest there and do stop in on occasion. I will review again once.I expand my horizons into this bubble tea thing.

This is a cute spot. Shame is it's tucked away by a Lowe's and surrounded by construction atm. Inside is quiet and clean (I hope it's not always quiet and they get busy sometimes!); nice decor and friendly staff. Both of our drinks were delicious and put together prettily. I got the mango/peach smoothie and my spouse got passionfruit tea. We haven't tried much yet which is the only reason waiting on that 5th star. They looked to have a food menu but a part of it was labelled "coming soon" so not sure how much food they have currently. We'd go back.

Yet again, another perfect meal in this clean, friendly staffed, awesome eatery. I now believe these people are incapable of making a bad meal. Perfect rice! The OG thai tea is creamy, cool looking deliciousness. The little sauce I got with my meal, I think is some sort of fish sauce, spicy, tangy, excellent for dipping every succulent morsel of expertly cooked beef. The price of everything is reasonable for the area, but cheap considering the portion size and quality. Freshly sliced, thin veggies accompanied my meal today and they were lightly seasoned with rice wine and nice and crunchy.

We had a GREAT experience here. We tried the grilled pork on rice, five spice chicken on rice and a tofu bahn mi plus two mango fruit teas. Everything was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and we will totally come back here!

I find myself returning to this place and ordering the avocado with mango drink. I was great because I recently realize I should not be drinking anything from a cow and they offer options for avocado and or soy milk substitutes. Pricing is reasonable and grab one twice a week and I must say I am addicted.

We frequent this place. They offer a variety of milk teas, smoothies and some snacks. I'm not sure they still offer the sandwiches. I usually drink only certain kinds milk teas and rarely venture trying new flavors. I'm just afraid taking the risk, not liking it and it go to waste. The fried spring rolls, fresh spring rolls and mozzarella sticks are good. The fresh spring rolls are pretty huge and worth the price. It's the largest rolls I've seen thus far. I'd like to try other flavors of milk teas and smoothies in the future.

Service is good and I love their bahn mi sandwiches and their smoothies!!! 100% recommend :)

Unbelievably good food! My family and I have been coming here for years for tea and sandwiches. They just got their rice dishes up and running and they are AMAZING! We got the lemon grass beef. Excellent!

Ordered via DoorDash . Every time I shop at Lowe's and I'm in the area I've always wanted to try this place. This time I saw on DoorDash. Delivery was fast. The chicken egg rolls were still piping hot and fresh my husband loved it. The bang mi was fresh and tasty. Only problem was the beef was not easy to chew. Next time I'll try the pork bahn mi. I normally order milk tea from other tea places, but decided to try the mango frappe with Maho jelly. Pretty good! I'll have to try the milk tea with boba next time to see if they match my fave other tea places. So although not near my home, I'd order from this place again.

Goatea is a Vietnamese boba gem in the Kent--Des Moines community. The drinks are consistently delicious - at least the ones I've tried. I've had several of their 'mojito' style flavors as well as the avocado smoothie with boba. All were delicious, fresh, not made with powder. Try the popping boba!The food is also amazing! Don't sleep on their summer rolls or banh mi. The pork, shrimp, and tofu spring rolls are all generously filled. I love that they add in the pickled daikon and radish in the rolls. The banh mi are also generously filled, with protein, herbs, and a delicious slathering of seasoned mayo.My coworkers and I are a fan. Definitely worth a try.
