Sovereign: Poke, Boba, Asian Kitchen

I ate here a few weeks ago- and I enjoyed my meal. Something I did prior to dining here was I checked the reviews. I saw someone mention and poopoo the use of MSG, which is actually why I’m leaving a review. I’m a graduate student coincidentally studying neurotransmission of foods and drugs. I’m learning about the affects of MSG and the research that supports its findings. Prior to this, I had no knowledge of MSG, other than ‘knowing’ it was bad for you. After doing some research, I find that while it isn’t the best thing to put in your body in excess, it’s okay in small amounts. Some people have physiological responses to this additive, but the same could be said for coffee, gluten, or spicy food. Bottom line- do your own research and know how your body reacts to certain foods. I almost didn’t try this place, because of an MGS warning. But I’m glad I did. It was yummy.

I absolutely loved this place💯 It was so cool to look at. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and patient. They had vegan options and gluten-free options. They made food less spicey for my toddler and had great suggestions! The food was beautiful (red Bean buns were ADORABLE!!!), Boba tea was tasty. I don't live anywhere close to it, but I plan to go there as often as I can.
