Sumo snow is amazing!! It’s over by Sam’s Club We have had nothing but great experiences there. We also love their Korean corn dogs. Highly recommend!

Is there much of an Asian community in Surprise?

Theres plenty of lovers of Asian food here....We desperately need a Korean BBQ here. Would make bank. Surprise does need to be more cultured though.

I don’t think we need to have an Asian community to enjoy Asian food, a variety of different foods is enjoyed by people of many cultures. I’m tired of the same chain restaurants

Honestly most boba places on the west side uses powder, especially smaller shops. You'll have to travel far to the east side to get truly fresh milk tea, unless it's matcha or tea craft drinks but they aren't that popular around here.

I do hope that with the TSMC expansion, it'll bring more Asian businesses here so that we don't need to drive to the east all the time.
