Tessa's Sweet Kafe Korean Restaurant Boba Tea Shop Korean Fried Chicken

Cute family owned restaurant. We had the delicious boba and fried rice. They were so nice and gave quick service.

Got hot cheeto mozzarella corn dog, mango smoothie, passion fruit tea, and spicy wings. Everything was delicious. So glad I was able to find this hidden gem. The inside was so clean and had cute photo op areas.

The boba milk teas were good and they have various flavor options which is nice. We also tried the veggie dumplings and they were tasty and fresh. Cute little spot. They have Korean food that we look forward to trying next. ?

Super cute cafe. They have a lunch menu and the drinks are great! Service was friendly and food was delicious. I got the lunch Bimbimbop, which was a good sized portion, and Matcha with red bean and it wasn't too sweet and came with cheese foam on top.

Kid-friendliness: They fried chicken, udon noodles and rice dishes.

After much reading about this place I decided I wanted some Korean fried chicken.The place isn't fancy and you may not find easily due the location and the fact it's in a larger building which has many other unrelated businesses.I ordered the fried chicken and kim chee pancake. With that I also received rice (japgok bap) and pickled radish and carrots.The chicken was more than enough to share and was both crispy and juicy. The sauce was deliciously sticky. The rice was a bit bland for my taste. The kim chee pancake was huge and fried very well. I thought the accompanying sauce was a little on the salty side.Overall I enjoyed the meal. It is a place I'd like to visit again as there were so many good choices. I ordered a beef bulgogi to go. So I may update this post later.

HIDDEN GEM!! ABSOLUTELY MUST TRY!!!was looking for a bobba spot and this place popped up. This is a great spot to come and have lunch at. Their menu has a variety of appetizers, lunch specials and noodles. Don’t forget it has a grill menu, fried menu and rice menu!!! Has a huge selection of milk teas, sparkly fruit tea, fresh fruit teas and don’t forget the Korean bingsoo!!! You have lots to enjoy all while listening to K-Pop.This place is a great Instagram ready location. The prices are set perfectly to the food portions. The staff is super friendly and kind. Highly highly recommend coming here.

The ingredients are always fresh. The food is flavorful. The portions are great. There is a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The interior is beautiful.

Can’t tell you how happy I am to come across this place! Love trying new restaurants, especially locally owned! The place is really cute, my daughter loved the decor! And the food is fresh and delicious! My sister and I tried the sweet and spicy kfc (Korean fried chicken), the bulgogi kimbop, a few drinks and the toast ice cream! All we’re fresh, flavorful and so yummy! My daughter loved the Oreo smoothie and the passion fruit tea was so refreshing ! Staff was also very friendly! Will be back again!

I came here Friday night with my friends and it was amazing!!! The cashier at the front was very nice and patient with us. He gave great recommendations and was very attentive. I got the original Korean Fried Chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce, a corndog w/potato, and a mango fruit tea w/ lychee jelly! The chicken was flavorful, chrispy, and actually spicy which i love. The korean corndog was new and I'm happy i fonally got to try one. And the tea was good, you can't go wrong with mango fruit tea with lychee jelly. All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be going back for more

I tried their honey garlic fried chicken and Pork Katsu Kimbap roll today and it was delicious! The pork roll was a little tough to chew but tasted very good and even better when you let it cool down.

Amazing first, hope for many more great visits, the woman that made the drinks, I'm going to say she is truly the best hostess, so inviting, willing to help and give top notch input on flavors and combos, from the egg fried rice, original Korean fried chicken, to the beef dumplings, was very happy, choosing this place.

So glad i found a korean kafe close to my place! The kimbap is awesome drink is good and the garlic sauce is the best! The owner is very sweet and kind as well def not my last visit!

We live in the neighborhood and we were so happy when we saw this restaurant was coming. We have now had the chance to eat at Tessa’s Korean Restaurant on two occasions. First off, we have tried most of the Korean restaurants in Tampa and surrounding areas, but this place has been a pleasant surprise. We liked everything we have eaten there but I think our favorite is the Korean fried chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce. Frankly, it is our favorite fried chicken so far bar none. We also tried the Thai tea today and that was also outstanding. We look forward to visiting Tessa’s Korean Restaurant many more times in the near future.Great job Tessa!!!

Korean food lover here! We visited last weekend and it was really good! We wanted to try something different than what we already have elsewhere so we went with the fried pork kimbap and the onion fried chicken with two different sauces, the sweet and spicy and the honey garlic, both sauces were absolutely delicious! we also ordered fried dumplings and a mango bingsoo. Everything was really good but I kinda want to go back and keep it simple, regular fried chicken and regular beef or veggie kimbap because I don't think I'm a fan of the ones we did ordered even though they were good!Price wise is higher for it to be more of a "quick" restaurant instead of a dine-in full service type, but we know the amount of work that goes into making these delicious food, we spent the same as when I go eat at a full dine-in Korean restaurant. Customer service was on point and they were very attentive! They are really far from me but I'll try to go back and probably stick to the simple versions of everything to try those out too! The bingsoo was super delicious with pieces of cheesecake inside and the mango mochi outside too, totally recommend it!!

Cute little whole in the wall. The reason I’m rating it a 4 star instead of 5 is because the phone number wasn’t working and I would suggest to possibly add the full menu on Google. Also, they didn’t have rice available when I went there but I’ll definitely come back to try it. The smoothie was amazing and the chicken has such a great crunch to it! Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge fan of the sweet and spicy sauce. It lacked flavor and wasn’t very spicy but I’m looking forward to trying other flavors of sauces!
