You may not know what bubble tea is. It's a way of serving a cold tea. My only complaint is that the menu here doesn't at all make it clear that you can-- and should, at least to try it-- order any cold tea as bubble tea. I had one of the fruity teas and my partner had a milky green tea. Bubble tea-- invented in 1986 in Taiwan-- is a cup of tea with pea-sized black tapioca pearls in it. The tapioca does have a taste of its own but the fun in the bubble tea is sucking those pieces through the specially shaped straw and chewing on them. If you don't like tapioca because it's too 'slimy' to you, you will want to pass of course. Your straw will sometimes clog despite its shape, and you will have to blow the pearls out and try again. If you are totally against fun, you may not like bubble tea. I did not have any food. But I will be back for the bubble tea!

Tea More Cafe has "tea" in their name but their mala dishes are truly the highlight of their menu. The mala spicy pot is amazing, with delicious fresh veggies and tofu and a wide variety of protein choices as add-ons. It is a great size to share with friends or save for leftovers, so don't let the price of the mala pot dissuade you- the portions are huge! The mala soup and other entrees like the spicy jumbo shrimp are also delicious. The service is fantastic, I always get my food super quickly and the owners are so kind. There is plenty of seating, though it is not a table service place so keep that in mind. Definitely check it out when you're in storrs!

My favorite Mala Spicy Pot in Connecticut. My go-to's as an undergrad at UConn were always the Mala Spicy Pot and Scallion Fatty Beef. You really can't go wrong with what you choose to add to the Mala Spicy Pot, but I recommend adding instant noodles. I always opt for a bunch of add-ons and then save the rest as leftovers. The Scallion Fatty Beef is delicious, but for over $15 I would expect more beef and less rice. There's a card minimum of $8 so bring cash if you're only planning on getting a drink.

Wanted to celebrate my birthday so we each went to get food from different places. My friend convinced me to go to tea more to get food, and i definitely did not regret it. I got the stir fried beef with cumin (super good and perfect spice level). We also came to realize that the place is called tea more because it has tea and more (i hope that’s the correct interpretation LOL). I also got their pineapple bubble tea with strawberry popping boba which was so so good. Highly recommend.

Not Bad for big portion. A little salty. General staff.

Been here a couple of times, and it is consistently good. The food is always done to the correct consistency and with very little sodium allowing for the natural flavor of the food to come out. The spring roll isn't very good but the tea egg you can get instead is eggcellent! Fresh cilantro and a chili paste are always available at the counter, a nice touch. Among us we had a strawberry, taro and Thai iced teas, all very good.

Bubble tea is good. Teriyaki chicken is not good. Sweet and sour chicken is good. Service fast and
I am from San Francisco and grew up in Chinatown. I ate here twice during my visit to Storrs, and man... it's was amazing. The mala tang had all of my favorite things in one bowl, and is Sichuan spicy for real. Spicy chicken was great too. During the 40 minutes I was there on the first visit, maybe 30 Asian people came to pick up food here. Not to say all aren't welcome, but more to say, this Chinese food is legit! Staff was really nice and the young owner is proud of how authentic their food is. I wish I could try more things from the menu, *sigh*... This was an unexpected highlight of my trip, i highly recommend!

The beef was premade with few cold slices of tomatoes. It tasted bitter and sour, and was very difficult to chew. The whole meal was unpleasant and not worth the price. Try other restaurants.

My husband and I stopped in here while in the area since we were both craving some bubble tea. We got a taro and green tea and they were delicious! The size was decent and an alright price overall. The folks inside were friendly as well.I'd want to come back and try out their food!
