Honestly, they should charge less for the tickets. 10 per person is kinda expensive when you're going to spend 60+ on mid level food. The drinks were cool, I got an alcoholic drink in a metal canteen and you get one refill which is a good deal for 38 bucks and get to keep the canteen. The other stuff was kinda expensive. 50$ for a poster? The plushies were 40$. You need to spend 100$ to get one of the stamps, you need to try EVERY item to get a another stamp and their food selection is minimal. I had the salad and don't think it was worth 18$.... The only thing i enjoyed was the drink and the fact you can get a refill. The actual experience was not that great. There was barely anything upstairs, the lighting was kinda bad for photos. We spent $65 dollars on two drinks, and the salad. Kinda expensive. The service was okay, they only had one server and she half-assed explained how everything worked. Not really worth it…

For context: we went on a weekend, opening day of the event and were a party of 4. I was really excited for this event, and expected some sort of wait but we waited nearly 2 hours just to be seated. And this was WITH a reservation. It would have been nice if the people waiting outside were provided with an estimated wait time or even acknowledged while waiting, but none of that happened. Honestly, we should have just left after the first hour, but we already prepaid for our reservation and half of our party was from out of town and had to leave the same day, so we wanted to be able to experience it all together. The wait time and lack of communication really made this experience hard to redeem. The food itself was decent, very expensive, but okay if you really like the theming. The blueberry cupcake was good, but be advised that it’s a mini cupcake. Thordak’s poppers were fair, not sure if $12 for 8 is normal? I don’t usually order appetizers. We tried every drink flavor, they were good and came in cute bottles, but not sure it’s worth $20 each + our wait time (maybe better without a long wait). The decor and ambiance were good. My favorite prop was Jester’s lollipop, but I didn’t feel very immersed and was missing out on some fan favorites. The location is quite small, so I understand they couldn’t do too much. Their selection of merch is good, they had some really nice posters that we got for $50 each. Unfortunately they did run out of frames by the time we got in. One thing that made the wait time almost worth it was being able to see a member from CR @ the event, but that’s not a guarantee for all visitors. Overall, it was a cute event but very expensive and weekend wait times are insane. Unfortunately, it did throw off our group’s whole day and we didn’t feel very happy leaving so that’s why I gave a low score.

Super fun for fans of the show! The drinks were incredible and were definitely worth the price (both alcoholic and not)! Super cute set up as well featuring some original art (which is always the best). The servers were so sweet and worked so hard, I just wish there had been more of them to take on the busy day. We didn’t try all the food. The jalapeño poppers were not great, unfortunately. I would say spend on the drinks and merch!

We had such a great time at A Taste of Tal'dorei! The food was delicous, the decour was delightful, and the ambiance was a delight. Would return for a rematch with that big goliath upstairs any day.

Wonderful experience. Got to meet one of our favorite content creators, try out the new Invincible game, and take lots of pictures. The food and drinks were also delicious. We will definitely be going back!

Staff were so sweet and helpful! My friend and I went specifically for the Invincible VS collab and the decor was very immersive and exciting, but also very professional! Sometimes pop up events have very grainy or pixel-y cutouts, but this was nothing like that—everything was super professionally printed out and displayed. Our server told us about the upstairs having a console set up where we could actually play the game—super fun while waiting for food or post-food wandering. The food was less expensive than I thought it would be, also much higher quality and very tasty! The collab drinks were also very good, on the sweet side of things (as boba usually is) but it was easy to ask for water. Admittedly the environment could be overstimulating for some guests, but I prepared in advance and brought headphones and some journaling stuff to make sure I wouldn’t be overwhelmed. I had a lovely experience and first impression of Boba Bear and I’d totally go to another event like this in the future!

Let’s just say that my girlfriend and I did not get our hang for our buck here. The life-sized statue of Mark/Invincible was cool, we just wish there were more such statues around the place instead of cardboard/plastic cutouts. The drinks were okay and they came in flasks that we could keep, but was it really worth paying $20 for each drink? And that’s not even mentioning how we each paid $15 for a wrap and chips that did little to stand out from its competitors. By the way, there were also options for three brown sugar cookies and an açaí bowl that were $12 and $15 respectively. Just the fact that the food choices had little to do with the show defeats the purpose of the experience. Finally, after our meals we go upstairs to play the Invincible VS game before its official release, and the game doesn’t even work properly. It crashed on us twice, and the sign for learning how the buttons worked was tucked away behind the arcade machine. We spent more time trying to navigate the menus than actually getting to play the game (which is to say we didn’t get to play it at all). If I had to say anything positive about the place, it would be that the servers were very friendly and enthusiastic about making the experience as fun as possible with what relatively little they had to work with. There were also good options for merch to buy and the upstairs area is great for taking photos. The show Invincible also plays on one of the TVs, though I wish they specified the episode so as to not spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it up to the latest episode. Overall, I think this pop-up experience was disappointing, especially when I consider that ordinary people could make a similar yet more immersive experience than what these organizers with a seemingly large budget were responsible for.
