“ The eggplant with garlic sauce was a little oily but overall pretty good. It's a great spot for lunch. I placed an order over phone and picked it up with it 12 minutes. The prices are decent as well; $8-$14 typically. This is probably the closest good Asian place to CMU. Would recommend! ”
“ WOW this place has some quality boba. Although the prices are super cheap and the store seems unassuming, the boba here is amazing. As someone who LOVES boba and has tried countless places (mostly in the Bay Area of California), this place is pretty darn good. The pearls are chewy and soft and you can taste the tapioca flavor. It was also 90°F when I ordered boba from here, so it was a refreshing treat. Stuff I got: * lychee green tea with jelly: I love when I can taste the TEA in fruit teas. This has a strong tea flavor with a sweet refreshing lychee taste. * passion fruit smoothie: real passion fruit blended with ice. Sweet, tangy, cooling and refreshing. * milk tea with pudding: milk tea doesn't taste like it's from powder * peach green tea: not as good as the lychee green tea, but also good tea flavoring with sweet fruity tastes. The prices are also very cheap but the quality exceeds the prices. The orders were also very fast! ”
“ Living in Regent Square and so close to Rose Tea could be dangerous at times lol. Dangerous because the food is so freaking delicious and we'd order from them at least once a week. The peanut black tea is so yummy. Strawberry milk tea and black sugar milk tea are also super good. I highly recommend the scallion pancake and egg as well as the dumplings. ”
“ I got the fried chicken over rice and hot black milk tea for delivery. It took about 45 min from when they accepted my order to when it was delivered. My milk tea was still hot! There were actually two fried chicken legs in there. The food quality was as good as dining in. I would get it again. My only complaint is the milk tea was taped over on the lid to avoid spillage, and the delivery guy held the cup. I wish they had a separate cup carrier to minimize contact during this pandemic season. ”
