“Great food with the generous portion! The staff there were kind and attentive. They came and chit chatted with us after we finished about the portion, and the taste of the food. This show that they cared about their food providing to the customers!”

“We love Kita! We first started to going to the boba location and loved the brown sugar boba. Every time we came to town we had to stop in. Even after months of not coming in, Rita remembered we were from Skagway as soon as we walked in. Tried their food and had to come back the next day since all 4 of us loved everything we got. Not only is the food and boba great the service is top notch. Always so kind and friendly.”
