While I get the same thing every time: the soba noodle salad with BBQ pork, I was enticed to try their bubble tea while I was at OKS. All the drinks are made in house, and the bubble tea rocketed to the top of my list. Other delicious house made beverages include: a thai basil lemonade, Vietnamese iced coffee, and a spicy ginger lemonade.
