The food is praised as amazing, flavorful and authentic Nigerian fare, with dishes like Ogbono Soup, Bitterleaf Soup and Seafood Okra that are well seasoned and not overly salty or spicy. The atmosphere, including good music and a cozy vibe, contributes to the positive impression, and many say they would return and recommend the place. Some observations note that the seafood okro is tasty but the crab and shrimp portions are small for the price, and there is a sense of discovering Nigerian cuisine rather than Cameroon when visiting.View restaurant profile

Chinatown

Bubble Tea

Review Summary

Shuyi Tealicious receives praise for a wide selection and fast, reliable drinks that many consider delicious and refreshing, making it a frequent stop for bubble tea in Chinatown. It is seen as a benchmark for flavors, combinations, and consistency, though experiences vary by order. Negative notes include a taro ball drink with very little boba or toppings despite the photos, and a hot grass jelly drink that tasted medicinal after raisins were added. The mango pomelo sago is well liked, though medium sizes are sometimes unavailable and large cups come with higher pricing. The setup is pickup and leave with no seating or bathrooms, and reviews mention too much ice and the challenge of accessing the lid with a paper straw. Overall, Shuyi Tealicious is a popular quick option whose strengths are variety and speed, even as a few drinks disappoint or misrepresent what is shown in photos.View restaurant profile
