We live quite a distance from this cafe, but if we get a chance we will drive all the way here for delicious Taiwanese food. I love how the owner remembers us over more than 10 years. :). She is so sweet and remembers her customers. We especially love the popcorn chicken with veggies, egg, and rice. Boba is delicious too! There is a little gift shop there with things that are handmade. There are lots of tables in there.

Total hole in the wall on the east side of Simi and completely worth the visit. It’s probably best described as a hodgepodge of different Asian style dishes and the price is right on their rice bowls. I got their crispy salmon bowl this time but I haven’t had a bowl I didn’t like. Usually pretty fast and the people there are very sweet. Not pictured are the fish cake appetizer. So delicious and recommend you get them spicy!

The food is so good!! Huge menu with fun & Super fresh items. The food & The drinks are amazing. I've been coming here for years & the owner is so sweet. The best items for us are the California bowl, Any of the curry bowls , and their spam Musubi. We also love the blueberry banana smoothie , red bean slush or any of their iced teas! Love this place

Love this cafe. Adorable owners who have run it forever, the food is amazing and served quick, and i love all the milk teas I've tried so far. Perfect place for a date, or to hang out!! They've also got board games.

The woman who works here is such a warm and kind person. She completely made my day. Its a cute little cafe...Would never expect such a great place to be here. We ordered a Turkey Croissant Sandwich, Vietnamese Coffee, Banana Milk Tea and a Lavender Earl Gray Milk Tea. Every single one was great for an even better price. Boba is a good texture too! I have been trying to find a Vietnamese coffee that reminds me of the one I would have with my sister years ago and this one hit that nostalgic point I was hoping for. Everything is great. Many other places charge twice as much for a less appealing drink so this is a hidden gem and now my new favorite spot.

The shop is super cute and the service was quick and friendly! I enjoyed my milk tea with boba, it wasn't super sweet and had the best boba I've had in a while. It was chewy and the texture wasn't sticky! Definitely a must try if you're in the area.
118 Cafe is always great to go to. They still have the best taro smoothie around. the service is always great and the have even helped us come up with our own creations for drinks. The food is super yummy as well and its all very nicely priced. I used to go here before any other boba/Tea shops were around my area, and now i still go here to avoid the no effort chain stores.

My friends and I have been eating here for years. Isa, the owner is very friendly and if you become a regular, she's so good about knowing what you want or making suggestions. She is more than happy to make adjustments if possible to dishes. Her soy sauce Eggs are my favorites and if I don't get a combo I always order one a lá carte. The shop itself is a cozy place with neat things to buy from local sellers. I wish she was open later like she used to be, but I completely understand why she isn't. We try to come by every week to support her business.
