Review Summary

Reviews for Real Fruit Bubble Tea show a mix of experiences: a sugar taro sherbet large with no pearls was not thick as requested and ended up slushy, despite asking for less water; the diamond mango drink usually has real mango pieces, but this time the pieces were smaller. A note mentions morning opening hours as a worker arrives to open. Some diners praise the drinks as amazing and naturally made with real fruits, while an update notes that extra staff improved order flow even though there were fewer customers at the time. Others describe the shop as understaffed with only one employee handling terminals and a very small work area, which can add wait time since real fruit must be chopped and prepared, suggesting to order and come back later. A durian smoothie with extra mango looked like a mango smoothie with durian and contained less durian than expected. Overall the place is regarded as great with great drinks and unsweetened jasmine iced tea available, and a bubble milk tea is said to be among the best by some, with the option to have drinks hot or cold; a recent mango diamond slush did not taste good.View restaurant profile

The ambiance is frequently criticized as small, plain, and noisy, with a decor that many feel needs improvement. Service experiences vary widely from attentive and friendly to indifferent or even poor, and the BYOB setup means guests serve their own water and wine, which can heighten a sense of informality. On several visits the pacing was off, with long waits between courses and little check-ins from staff, and in some cases plates were not cleared or payments made without much assistance. Cleanliness is questioned by some patrons, while others praise courteous staff and especially one young team member. Takeout is on the radar for some, and there is a sense that the kitchen could rival Montreal spots when the overall experience cooperates; the main takeaway is strong food held back by inconsistent service and ambiance.View restaurant profile

Il Miglio Express

Review Summary

Il Miglio Express draws praise for amazing pasta that is al dente and saucy, with dishes like pistachio pesto linguine with Nordic shrimp and gnocchi that are soft and buttery, and a carbonara where guanciale is fried just enough to be crispy without burning; the tiramisu is described as incredible and real Italian pasta is praised overall as excellent for a quick, fresh pasta fix; the chef is seen as skilled and authentic, while some reviews note longer wait times due to a busy kitchen run by a small team and newer staff; there is a sense of welcome and a homey atmosphere, and although the location is mostly takeout, a communal seating area is available; overall the experience is consistent, flavorful, and satisfying with dishes cooked in front of customers and a clear emphasis on quality.View restaurant profile

Sushi Japanese

Review Summary

Wasabi Sushi receives overall positive notes for consistently delicious sushi and good value, with many reviewers mentioning fresh, plentiful portions when ordering through Uber Eats. A common caveat is the avocado being quite large in many pieces, with a suggestion for more delicate preparation. The atmosphere is described as Japanese Asian with chill music and retro vibes, and service is repeatedly praised. The restaurant is considered new and relatively small, though clean, and alcohol is not available at the moment with BYO wine noted. A range of dishes from won ton soup to salmon tartare, sweet potato with scallops, pizza sushi and dumplings are highlighted as excellent, reinforcing the impression of solid food quality for the price.View restaurant profile
