I'm only going to review this place for the Bubble Tea section so this is strictly for Bee's & Tea. I don't think there's a listing for it but it's inside and you order at the bar. Very interesting concept but it works. Overall, since it's inside Asia Bistro, you'll see tables for diners and lots of cool modern asian decor. Even walking in has a small fountain that is the first thing you'll see. The bar itself has the entire menu of what you could order Boba wise but you could also order alcohol too. There's many options to pick honestly. I got the Strawberry Blush drink. It's black tea that's lightly sweetened with strawberry puree with strawberry heart jelly. It's really cute! I think I should have opted to order Boba instead because the jelly takes an effort to drink through the straw. I don't really have much to say but it's boba, lots of different teas to pick from ranging from Milk/Fruit/Thai Tea/Coffee, ect with many toppings.. Can't go wrong with a nice drink after food.

Can't speak for the restaurant's food, but this is a decent stop for one's bubble/boba milk tea fix. They serve milk and fruit teas, and I appreciate how clear the signs are about which ones do and don't have caffeine.All sizes are large (24 oz) and approximately ~$7. They can adjust sugar and ice levels, even for the fruit drinks, which I liked that they weren't so sweet.It is located inside the restaurant, so one orders at the bar upon entering and can take a seat and wait if it's not too crowded. It's also possible to order in advance, but the service is fast and one's drink is prepared rapidly.

This place has some of the worst wait times out of any tea shop I've ever been to, and it's a toss up if they get your order right. Go

We walked to this restaurant from our hotel; so good location for us. It is in an area with several other restaurants and easy to find. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Seating is at table, booths or the bar. They offer takeout and delivery service. They have happy hour so we went for that thinking we would spend less. That didn't happen! They offer several appetizers at a reduced rate and some drink specials at happy hour time. You can also order a la carte sushi. They have a full bar. Restrooms are in the back of the restaurant. We were so pleased on our first visit that we came back again while in town for dinner. Both times were a hit for us. Service, food and atmosphere were good. It is a casual dining spot.

This is a hip little Asian fusion spot that you will find in an outdoor food court area near the Pentagon. They have outdoor patio seating, a bar with seating and an adequate dining area. There are a few tables on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and an enclosed area on the other side of the sidewalk with seating as well. They serve you typical asian fusion food including ramen soup, bento boxes, spicy salmon, bao buns, shrimp tempura, sushi, poke bowls, and rice and noodle bowls. They also have a full bar and a wide assortment of boba teas divided between fruit, Thai, milk, and seasonal varieties. The staff there was nice and friendly and the restaurant has a cool/chill vibe. The restaurant runs a weekday happy hour so, be on the lookout for those deals.I ordered the Steamed Bao Buns and Chicken LoMein Noodles for my lunch and got a Fresh Strawberry Lemonade Tea to wash my food down. It took about 12 minutes for them to bring me my food. It was fresh, hot, savory and delicious. I really liked the buns. They were so good. The noodles were pretty good too. The tea comes sealed and with a very wide straw. I had no problem drinking it. It was one of the widest straws that I have seen. All-in-all, I really enjoyed my meal here. They have friendly service and good food. I would definitely eat here again and recommend you give this place a try for yourself.

Friendly service, but the fruit tea was terrible and the menus didn't even have any prices listed. Also, the cups weren't properly sealed so the drinks spilled everywhere.

I absolutely loved loved loved the beef bulgogi bao buns appetizer. I got the edamame also as an app and it was perfectly salted. Sushi of course for my main course which was tasty but I can't stop thinking about those bao buns. 5 stars just on those bao buns. I've been here one time many months ago for bubble tea -- I got Thai milk tea with boba and it actually looked and tasted like Thai milk tea whereas other places I've gone to don't get it right. The service was also great, the ladies were all so friendly. It also looks cute inside, they decorated the space well. :)
