Congo Go Restaurant

"My husband got the Vietnamese coffee and I got the Lavender Yuzu with tapioca (WHICH IS MADE FROM SCRATCH!). Also picked up a matcha mochi donut! Drink flavors were robust but not overwhelming. Love the fact that we have mochi donuts in the Monterey Penninsula now! The matcha flavor was very concentrated, which I love! It's hard to find matcha that doesn't taste diluted. What I really heartened me was that the co-owners Vi and Tia are really down-to-earth and got to know us as humans. Loved hearing their story about working from the bottom up within the hospitality industry to owning their own small business! We'll be back for dinner and a crowd of friends to continue to support your efforts! Genuine flavors, ingredients, and lots of love at this shop :)"

"Locally owned food and specialty drink cafe. It was so fun to be able to create our own Boba concoctions. Then, they put it into containers that she (Bee) sealed up right before our eyes. It was so delicious. We had the option of milk, soy, oat, or almond. All our different concoctions were delicious. We also tried the food. We absolutely love the brussels sprouts that had a kimchi butter. Our vegan eater loved the fried tofu. We also enjoyed the grilled chicken satay. We plan to go back soon to try more meals, including the stirfry. The owners were very tuned in to our eating needs and dietary restrictions. Congo Go was super clean and spacious. We recommend it for a healthy and delicious meal. Also, there are a variety of sweets for those who like to indulge."

"Was really hopeful for a local boba place. The cups are cute but the drinks and toppings were not great. The boba looked funny and the texture was off. The lychee jelly was mushy and didn’t taste like lychee. Good thing they only gave a small spoonful of toppings. Price for the large is $8 plus $0.50/ topping. Not worth it in my opinion. The fried tofu was ok. Not much flavor. We got home and added sauce and it was better. She did ask us if we needed sauce so maybe we should have gotten sauce there."

"Casual Asian styled eats along with milk tea. This place is really good, and as an added plus it's a locally owned shop with lots of passion behind it! I tried their milk tea, which was great, though I do recommend for people who don't have a real sweet tooth to order the "less sweet" option for the tea. The normal Thai tea option has a lot of delicious caramelized brown sugar flavor, one of the best on the peninsula for sure. On my first visit I had the popcorn chicken and the satay, popcorn chicken was light and crispy and next level. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu for sure!"

"Very nice and good environment, the food was very delicious and coming back for more soon!! Got the brown sugar boba tea, and turkey egg rolls!! Can’t wait for more!!"
