It looked like shrimp and it tasted like shrimp, but it wasn’t shrimp. It looked like chicken and it tasted like chicken, but it wasn’t chicken. It was all tofu and 100% vegan and it was all amazingly great. Even Amy’s mock pork was surprisingly very pork like and I love pork. You see, I love meat and it’s very seldom that I go a day without meat in any given deal. However, this full “mock” meat experience was pretty cool and enlightening. Not only was the lil establishment very clean, but the owner was also super cool and informative. Although I don’t see myself converting to full veganism anytime soon, I’ll definitely be back to try a few more vegan-mock meat dishes.
Boba Juice is also my new go to place for a much-needed icy cold smoothie with boba of course. I’ve tried a few variations, and my favorite is the taro/coconut smoothie, add boba. I swung by Boba Juice three days in a row for a smoothie — that’s a pretty solid indicator that I like the place. Yay, I am a fan!
Boba Juice is located at 4550 N. 19th Ave. in Uptown — 602.973.9410
The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
