Tiff "Diabolical ninja taster but srsly call me Tiff" W.'s Profile

I ordered a couple of pies and cakes from them in the past and some were enjoyable to eat, but most were average at best. Everything seems to be a bit too pricey, but I totally wouldn't have minded if their service wasn't so awful.

I went there about 4 times and decided to stop once and for all because I realize that every girl who works there are just so unfriendly and have this snobby attitude about them. I also usually get a feeling like they don't want my service.

Last week, I came in and it was pretty dead. One of the girls behind the counter looked at me, so I smiled at her, she didn't smile back, didn't even ask, "How may I help you?", she just stared at me with her cold, dead eyes.  Yep, that was weird--never coming back here again.

What a joke this place is. It took somewhere between 30-45 minutes for a waiter to come take our order. While we were waiting, we noticed that it took literally six waiters to clean one regular sized table. Hilarious. They never noticed us, so one of my friends had to get one of their attentions so we can start ordering drinks.

We ordered different boba drinks but all of them were pretty bland. I had a coffee-flavored drink and I could barely taste the coffee in it. It was more a combination of water and whipped cream.

They only thing Tebo Tebo has it going for them are their cakes. I ordered a cake called "Paris in a Box" and it was pretty delicious and sweet.

Tebo Tebo just sucks overall though, even though their cake was good, it's not good enough to make me go back there again. Drinks are average, at best. And the staff, in a nutshell, have no idea what they're doing. They're completely unorganized and oblivious to their customers.

This store has a really fine collection of gundam models, and they also carry painting supplies. The guys who work there, Roy and Saki I believe, are really helpful and they clearly enjoy what they do.

I live only 10-15 minutes from Robot4less, so it is pretty convenient for me--especially ordering stuff from their website and then pick it right up at the store! They also have awesome promotions and discounts.

Great place!

My favorite things to eat here is the Bun Xao (appetizer).

I can assure you that not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants have bun xao in their menus because there's a lot of preparation in making them, and frankly, not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants can cook a decent bun xao either.

I'm really impressed with their bun xao, in fact I enjoy it more than my mom's (sorry!). It is very, very delicious--packed with several, rich flavors. It can be a bit messy and frustrating when you're trying to wrap it up with a thin sheet of rice paper only to have it rip in your face! But it's definitely worth the trouble.

However, every time I eat at least half of it I get full very quickly--I can never finish my pho which is the most annoying part.

So a little tip for the bun xao: Don't be greedy and share it with friends or simply order it for yourself as your main course.

I also have to point out that my boyfriend and I eat here all the time, and since we're both usually quiet when we're eating, we can easily and "unintentionally" hear other people's conversations quite clearly, and boy these conversations can get either pretty hilarious or weird.

We were just there last night and these two guys who sat close to us were high as a kite. They were making sick beats with the chopsticks while singing Beyonce's "Single Ladies".

So, if you don't mind being in a loud, social restaurant where you're sitting very close to strangers (and possibly hear them chant Beyonce's greatest hits) then you should definitely give this place a shot.

I was hesitant as to whether I should give this place two stars or four.  I decided to give it four, because my recent experience was very pleasant, but first, I'd like to share a quick story when I would've given it one or two stars had I known about Yelp at the time.

Basically, my friend and I went here, and we're Asian, ok? When we were ordering our drinks, both of us were coughing, to which the Starbucks girl replied--with this disgusted look on her face "Um...do you guys have SARS or something?"

"Yes, we do actually. You might want to wash your hands thoroughly after touching that dollar I gave to you." Ok. I didn't really say that, but looking back, I should have. In the wise words of Stephanie Tanner...how rude!

So that's that. Recently, I went again and wanted to order their "Signature Hot Chocolate" but all four of the workers said they retired the drink! I was pretty bummed, and I made sure they knew I was bummed in hopes that they could somehow bring it back to life for me.

One of their staff recommended a different type of hot chocolate that was similar to the Signature one. She said she'd make it for me and if I didn't like it, she can make me something else. Well, I tasted it and now I'm completely hooked.

The staff was very helpful and quite friendly to me, and they seem to know what I like. Besides that, I also like their shop. It's very, very spacious--possibly one of the biggest Starbucks place I've seen.

Griddle Cafe is known for three things:
-The long wait
-Really good breakfast and brunch food
-And a full waiting staff of male models.

There are all sorts of meals you can choose from but when in doubt, just know that you truly can't go wrong with anything from this Griddle Cafe, because everything so far is pretty spectacular.

I really like their host. Everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious so he provides great comic relief to the customers every now and then when they're waiting for a table.

I highly recommend this place, you won't be sorry!

I go here at least every other week and their drinks always have been one of the best.  Their food, on the other hand, isn't great, it's rather icky, especially their squid balls, they're disgusting, they taste cheap, they squirt in your friend's face every time you take bite out of it...and they're called squid balls.

BUT, seriously, I couldn't care less about the low quality of their food because their drinks really make up for it.  

Their Jasmine milk tea is just insanely good and sweet. It beats Tastea's jasmine milk tea by a long shot, because Tastea's Jasmine tea is very bland, possibly due to the overload of ice they put into it which washes out the taste, whereas Volcano's Jasmine tea carries the right balance of ice and sweet, sweet flavor.

My main issue with the store is their music because it's just stupid loud.  I hate to sound all old and "get-off-my-lawn" considering the place is geared towards teenagers, but look, nobody's going to dance; most of us here want to relax with a good refreshing boba drink, so turn it down.

Yes, the wait to get seated is ridiculously long.  Every time I go there, I usually wait up to two hours--sometimes thirty minutes less, but I really don't mind though.  My boyfriend and I usually just walk around the stores really slowly and shop for things like noodle packs of sorts at the Vietnamese grocery place. That kills some time.

If you're planning to wait outside, I strongly suggest doing the aforementioned instead, or at least stand a few yards away from the restaurant, because the speaker used to call out people's names is horrifyingly loud.  I swear to God, every time the hostess belts "TOM YOUR PARTY IS READY. TOM," into the mic, you can either see bodies flinching or hear people mumbling "holy shit" or "dude..."

Though of course, what I love about this place is the food! Their shrimp are delightfully meaty and their crawfishes are oddly satisfying even though it doesn't pack enough "meat" like the shrimps do. Combine those with salt and pepper, an overload--and I mean an overload--of lemon juice and the obligatory Shebang Sauce, and you'll have one intensifying delicious seafood surprise that'll melt your face off.

Oh, and when you're really hungry, all you want to do is just eat, right? No, not with Boiling Crab.  See, if you order stuff like shrimp or crawfish, you [obviously] have to peel first and THEN eat. Bleh! It's gets pretty aggravating sometimes, especially when you're starving and all you want to do is nom, but, oy, the end result is surely worth it, you just have to work for your food.
