Boba place in Los Angeles.
If you want a very taro flavored, very creamy taro milk tea. This is the place. Almost too creamy for me, but it was really a treat. They make it themselves (not a premixed formula) and shake it up. It was recommended to me by my korean friend. The boba balls were exemplary. Very chewy, not over/under done AND were very sweet by themselves.
Overall I give it a 9.5. The .5 that is lacking is that it's almost too rich... otherwise I would have given it a perfect 10!!!

Haahaha, the first thing i have to comment on is the coupons brochure they gave us. THe front just says "Boja Tea House".. it's not even the name of their place... and wtf is 'boja'... anyway, inside, the menu says "snake" instead of snack. hahaha
Coolest thing tho is that they deliver!! $15 or 5 drinks minimum. Less than a mile away from my house, I dont even have to leave my house to have boba!! wohooo!
Taro Milk Tea (black tea)
Despite the lack of taro flavor the tea was actually quite pleasant. It was kinda a sugary milky drink, not too strong, not watered down. The boba balls were very chewy, tender and sweet... they did not taste under or overcooked, but they were a bit too slimy/soft... .. so major flaw of the drink was that it did not have any taro flavor. price was normal/fair. 7.5/10
Blueberry tea
Andy can only have nonmilk drinks now, cuz of his IBS. He gave it a 7/10, maybe 6.5.. I'd give it maybe a 8/10. It was sweet, but not tooo sweet. Tasted like it was supposed to: blueberry. I'm not big on slushies tho... too cold for me.

Atmosphere- nice. Not upscale, but definitely not trashy. Paper tablecloths, but at least they had SOME sort of tablecloths haha
What'd we eat... For 3 of us (and I eat for 2 most of the time)
Traditional Tomato Mozzarella and Basil appetizer - Tomatoes too thick, not even very good. THe rest was good.
Calamari - Fried and with some sorta.. garlic sauce thing. The sauce sucked.
Portabello Mushroom Salad - Of the apps, this was the winner. But I'm a sucker for mushrooms.
Then we had 2 Calzones (mine had chicken sausage and it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD).
Dessert: The had berries and a cream sauce, I had TIRAMISU!!!!! Both were fabulous.

We have ordered a taro smoothie with boba and a blueberry slush no boba. The place is quaint, sharing its space with Stan's Donuts. Cleanliness is a 5/10.
Zet says the boba gets an 8. I agree....

the focaccia bread at the beginning was very tasty.. especially when they brought out the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to dip it into (actually they brought that out for the caprese salad)... i love caprese salad.. they have a fat free mozzarella option, but i forgot to ask for that, so we had the full fat, full flavor cheese.. the greens were very tasty.
gnocchi... i've had much better.. there was some weird taste to it that i didn't like too much.
gelato.. yup, had to have the chocolate gelato. the serving size is huge.. and the wafer they put in it was veryyy crispy and yummy... veryy yummy thinking about it makes me crave it right now...

The taro tea is spooned out; not exactly sure if it's premixed before getting to the restaurant, or mixed and prepared in advanced by the employees, but either way tastes very yummy and fresh and it's quick. I also tried the watermelon juice with boba and the watermelon tasted EXACTLY like watermelon. Also very delicious. Service is quick, drinks are yummy. The boba was PERFECT.. chewy, not underdone.
I would give it a 8/10 (still have to try out other things there before I give a higher score :) ).

VERYYYYYY tasty and healthy food. entire menu has nutritional value for each meal. andy's flaxseed pancakes were huge and compared to the size, quite low in points (9). I had the eggs, which were quite low in points (3).. andy's dad had some kind of egg wrap which was also very delicious, I didn't calc the points tho.
I would go back again and try other things... makes life easy to calculate points and the food was yummy.
8.5/10

Fukui Sushi is a sushi bar within a restaurant called Thomas Restaurant. apparently during the day it's a regular ole diner. The sushi was alright. we didn' t really get a huge selection.. tempura vegetable roll, philidelphia roll and avacado roll. I dont like avocado so i didn't eat any of that. the phili roll was my attempt at trying a more RAW sushi .. was feeling a little daring (i've gone as far as scallops... ).. but i think i'm going to stay close to my cooked seafood next time. I was not big on the salmon or the huge chunk of cream cheese. The seaweed salad was really good. And the edamame was done perfectly. it was served warm and slightly salty.

Yum Gnocchi
Salad was wayyyyyyyyy too saturated with dressing, but other than that yummy. Gnocchi was very tasty.. nothing out of the ordinary tho.

You know that taste in your mouth that you get when you're getting sick? kinda a salty metalic taste... well i'm not sure if i'm getting sick or if it was the taste of the tea, but either way it wasn't really tasty...
Generally almost all Tapioca Expresses taht I've been to have watered down drinks that are premixed.
The taro milk tea was pretty creamy, not too sweet, not too taro tasting... the balls are somewhat sweet and chewy, but do not taste necessarily fresh.
Overall rating would be a 6.5
