Review from Boba Cafe

Walking into Boba Cafe I have to say I had a lot of doubts, even though I had read some great reviews I was surprised to notice the empty bar I don't think they even used the bar for water - so I knew they didn't have a liquor license and so it wasn't looking good. Then looking at the huge menu I got really excited and wanted to try something different. We started off with the Appetizer Sampler which included Springrolls, Eggrolls, Wontons, Wings, and Chicken Satay. I think the springrolls were excellent, the eggrolls were really greasy, Wontons are always good and they were a little sweet, the wings didn't have much flavor, and the chicken satay also didn't have any good flavor. But we did finish the whole appetizer... or should I say I did cause I was super hungry! We then ordered our dinner which a few of the items we wanted were not available due to the peanut recall. So we finally settled on the Boba's Sizzling Platter Wraps, Stuffed Curried Crepes, Spicy Siam Combo, Spicy Peanut Chicken which we substituted cashews for the peanuts. The Boba's Sizzling Platter Wraps were nothing special - I thought instead of putting the meat and mushroom in the lettuce and rice paper wrap it was better just to through it over rice and add some spices. The Curried Crepes were... terrible, they were so huge and had no flavor of curry whatsoever. It tasted like an egg pancake with a little coconut milk. I think we all took a bite and then covered it up with our napkin. The Spicy Siam Combo was good and had good flavor and the Spicy Peanut Chicken was also really good. The restaurant was clean and our service wasn't the best but she wasn't terrible either.

I don't think we'd ever return to this restaurant, I realize we have to take into consideration where the restaurant is located and how cheap the food was. But personally I will not return and if you do go please steer away from the Crepes even though it is one of their signature entrees!!
