I'd love to give this place more than 3 stars but I could not.

I came here last night for to go after a long day around the town with my fiance.
I ordered the hand-cut braised pork, taiwanese sausage with egg, & braised egg rice roll, with two milk tea (pearl milk tea & hongkong milk tea).
The handcut braised pork did not look like the one I was expecting from the picture at all. It's more like a minced pork if anything. The sausage with rice & egg is very small amount of sausage that it's laughable, with a stack of rice & a piece of egg. I was expecting if I could just order sausage alone (like 3 or 5 pieces instead of one small piece of sausage with bunch of rice). Then the braised egg rice roll really did not look like the picture that we saw, even the inside looks totally different because my fiance expected only eggs in it, boy were we wrong.

Their milk tea was so so. Taste like water down milk tea. It is true I asked for low ice & low sugar but the taste of the milk tea itself wasnt strong at all. The boba tasted like hours cold boba they put in the fridge, very hard to chew. I am from Los Angeles. If I had to compare this milk tea boba with any I have tried in Los Angeles or Seattle, this is not even close to okay flavor.

After all, i'd give it 6 out of 10, maybe more like 5 to 5.5.
