We Ordered 2 pad Khee mao noodles and unfortunately, they were so spicy we couldn’t even eat them. Threw them away. Way to spicy. I’ve eaten the same dish at other restaurants and not even remotely spicy. Should be a warning ⚠️ for this dish. Bummed out we couldn’t eat it and it’s not cheap. Will try something else next time.Update gave it another shot with different dishes. Got the bang noodz and again super rich, could only eat 1/4 of it. Pad Thai is ok and appetizers are good. Otherwise I won’t order noodles again.

The food was ok for the area. The woman we encountered when we called with a question and picked up our order was very rude. It cost her a 25% tip and at least 3 future customers. She's in the wrong job.

How have I not tried this place sooner?! Fabulous food, quick and friendly service, great portion sizes, just all around wonderful! We sat outside and I got the basil fried rice, so so flavorful! Definitely will be back next time I'm in town!

The food is amazing and hits every time. However, the boba itself is not great. It’s not terrible, but it’s just okay. The tapioca pearls are usually too hard (meaning they haven’t been allowed to sit in hot water long enough) and the flavors of the tea are always either sickeningly sweet/too artificially fruity tasting, or taste like literally water. The popping boba is fine. The boba beignets are disappointing. The bao sandwiches are the star of the show here.

The dumplings were amazing, I ordered chicken pad Thai- perfectly prepared and just as good the next day. My husband's dish was also delicious. Highly recommend.

Not gluten free friendly. Also not friendly period. Racist waitress experience. The other waitress apologized and informed I believe it was the owner who called and apologized for the experience and offered a gift card which I never received. ?♀️Dietary restrictions: Not gluten free friendly.

Such amazing Asian food in Lewiston! I have tried dining in and take out now and have not been disappointed. Their noodles with peanut sauce are amazing and rich, their fried dumplings and crispy and delicious and I love the spicy chicken bao. You can't go wrong!
As a person who loves bubble tea and grew up in places that had it, this bubble tea was an absolute disappointment and frankly hard to swallow. I had the cookies and cream milkshake bubble tea and while the tapioca pearls were fine (not over cooked or undercooked) the actual drink itself was bitter and horrible tasting. My friend had a Thai tea milk bubble tea and this too was not up to par. It doesn’t taste at all like Thai tea and honestly just tasted overpowering of spices which isn’t common nor enjoyable. All this plus the fact that two drinks cost around $18 is why I don’t plan on returning.

we were gravely disappointed because we'd hoped to eat outside but were told they weren't serving outside, despite many tables - they said the tables were all wet due to recent rain (they weren't and the had oil-cloths on then anyway - guessing a permit problem maybe, but why not say so. ) sauces were really good thank god, because the dumplings themselves not so good (we had the bulgogi beef, which came out deep fried and on the burnt side) - Bang Bang Noodles nothing to write home about - actually reminiscent of lazy "home-cooking" so from that perspective very comforting. :) Satay was good, and the bEST was the Pot Ang Corn - that! - worth stopping back in for.

We loved our dinner… But I have to say one of the very best things about Boba, was Keisha! What an amazing young woman who actually remembered my name and my order from the night before when I called to thank them for the dessert ! Thank you Keisha for amazing customer service ! ❤️
The dumplings, spring rolls and veggie roll are very good. The sauces are all funky. The pad Thai is absolutely not pad Thai. There’s as many red onions as noodles and the sauce makes it inedible. Will not order again. Very disappointed.

Boba is one of the best places to eat in Lewiston hands down. Their food is always hot and always made the way you order. Service is outstanding and I love the vibe. I’ve never had better kimchi in my life than at boba, I’d be hard pressed not to get the kimchi with everything I order

Boba is a very popular place among Bates students. The Pad Thai is a standout with great flavors and perfectly cooked rice noodles. Their boba is also SO GOOD with a wide variety of tasty options to choose from. On top of that, the interior is super hip and stylish, creating a nice atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience!!

Staff was friendly when I entered the store the atmosphere was very pleasant, however the food was not what I expected for the price. I would expect a closer to authentic taste but I was definitely disappointed in that regard. I wouldn’t say the place is bad but the food wasn’t enjoyable.
