“Try their rose blossom tea! The aromatic flavors blends in very well with the milk.”
A small, family-run boba shop along the side of Zion Market, less crowded than nearby chains; Roger liked the rose blossom tea and the crispy chicken, which he called less salty and greasy than competitors' versions. The owner comped a specialty drink for his group's birthday gathering.
A Convoy District spot Roger rated among the better local options for xiao long bao and pan-fried sheng jian bao, with better-than-typical service to match.

A Kearny Mesa Vietnamese spot Roger praised for freshly made, generous portions — nothing mass-ordered frozen — plus made-to-order coffee and wings he ranks among the only two worth ordering at an Asian restaurant in town.
A low-key Convoy-area grocery Roger called a one-stop shop for a Chinese household: herbal remedies, dried seafood, nostalgic HK/China/Taiwan sodas and whole-leaf teas, tucked in a warehouse half a block west of Convoy.
A Convoy District boba shop in Kearny Mesa that Roger began reviewing in 2021, in a Yelp draft that trails off after a single word; the Convoy Street location has since closed for good.
