Review Summary

Reviews for Boîte Geisha Laval paint a picture of consistently fresh, well-made sushi and a varied menu that keeps customers coming back, with many noting the value for money and generous portions, and praising warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The sushi quality is repeatedly described as top notch, the rice balances well with the flavours, and ingredients often feel premium. Delivery and pickup experiences are noted as fast, with Uber Eats orders arriving fresh and in good portion sizes, and condiments such as soy sauce, spicy mayo, ginger and wasabi included. Some comments mention that bubble tea is of lower quality and not recommended. A recurring concern centers on tipping: while service is appreciated, the tipping policy complicates fairness, with complaints that tips left on the machine may not reach staff unless cash tips are accepted, prompting calls for clearer, fairer handling of tips. A few diners mention a dish with overly acidic rice, but the overall tone remains positive and a second visit is anticipated. Overall, Boîte Geisha Laval comes across as a strong choice for sushi lovers in Laval, offering freshness, quantity, and friendly service, with room for beverage quality and tipping transparency improvements.View restaurant profile

Outremont Côte-des-Neiges

Review Summary

Real Fruit Bubble Tea receives praise for amazing flavors, fresh ingredients, and standout mango juice, with many considering it a popular spot for bubble tea. Service is described as outstanding at times, and the manager is frequently praised for being friendly, but reviews also note that only one person may be on shift, leaving staff overwhelmed and customers waiting longer. Some feedback mentions early closing when staff are unwell or there aren’t replacements, highlighting staffing and scheduling constraints. Self-service ordering can lack options to modify drink percentages, requiring a cashier visit to adjust it. Conditions such as limited air conditioning and busy shifts are noted, with at least one comment about an employee wearing AirPods and not engaging. Overall, flavors and friendly moments shine through, but operational challenges and occasional service inconsistencies temper the experience.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Café Rì Yuè comes through in reviews as a cozy, visually charming cafe with a welcoming vibe and a strong focus on Asian inspired pastries and inventive drinks. The menu earns frequent praise for macarons, matcha based desserts and beverages, ube basque cheesecake, strawberry, lychee lemonade and miso mushroom focaccia, with textures described as light, fluffy and not overly sweet.

Shuyi Tealicious

Chinatown

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
