    I was driving through Scranton and decided to stop for lunch. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, takoyaki, edamame, and tea. The spicy miso was delicious with just the right amount of heat. The takoyaki was hot and fresh. Their tea is also flavorful and goes well with the appetizers. I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again in the future.

    Found this place by happenstance during the Scranton Ice Festival, I was excited to find a place with Thai tea. It was a bit on the weaker side but delicious with a generous amount of boba. The pork buns were equally delicious, so much so that I forgot to snap a picture. Also they serve loose leaf teas so there is no worry about microplastics in the tea bags. Glad to have found it and looking forward to going back.
