Spicy chicken bits rice bowl and fried tofu are so great!

Drinks are okay. I like their juice, but don't ever get their Udon. The broth tastes just like water w/ 1 cup of salt & 1 cup of soy sauce. It was extremely salty. I have very low expectation for food since it's a boba store, but I literally could not eat this. It was disappointing that I wasted $11. I know that maybe the next time I order Udon, it could be back to normal, but why take the risk?

Been here a couple of times. It's one of the closest boba places to me. The drinks are so-so. I had the jasmine green tea the first time, and thought it was watered down. The drink was still hot and all the ice had melted before it was handed to me. The second time I decided to go for the passion fruit tea. It was decent, you can't get it wrong since it's just tea and syrup. The food is what I actually come for. Love the spicy chicken bits aka popcorn chicken and their pork bits rice bowl! The pork bits rice bowl is very similar to thit kho, which is a Vietnamese traditional dish with pork belly and egg. I would give the drinks a 2/5 and the food a 4/5. I would say it's a great place for a quick lunch or a snack.

It was a hot Houston afternoon and we stopped by this tea shop before returning to our hotel. It was a spacious shop with a couple of customers. Simple decor and lot of seating. Board games at the front. We ordered the peach and lychee black teas with boba. When it was handed to us it looked like a dirty black tea. Not the color we expected at all. The peach tasted a bit grainy but the lychee was good. Boba was a good chewy texture. Unfortunately we just did not get that heat quenching drink that we were hoping for.

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile since I have seen it around. The inside is very spacious and the perfect place to study. I got two (2) drinks: wintermelon fruit with black tea and boba along with a taro smoothie with boba. The price turned out to be $11.91 which is more on the expensive side, so I figured the the tea was going to taste amazing. However, I think it was pretty average. For the wintermelon tea, I should have reduced the sweetness level and then it would have been much better. For the taro smoothie, it tasted watered down. The cup size isn't proportionate the price in my opinion. If you are looking for a place to study that sells drinks and food, I would recommend this place.

Located right off of 1-10 and across from Memorial City Mall. This place is a great little stop if you're in the mood for some boba. Today I stopped in with a group of friends after seeing a movie! They have some great selections of teas, and also offer small plates, in case you're hungry. I ordered the tiger brown milk tea with the crystal boba and my boyfriends ordered a lychee slushy with lychee jelly. Very good! Cute little interior that offers plenty of seating for groups. Great place!

This place is lovely and the people are wonderful! Today the boba is perfect. However, this is the second time I’ve had their tea and they don’t seem to put enough milk in the standard black milk tea. Will try a 3rd time, making sure to either use whole milk or add extra milk, and see if I can up the stars. Nice and clean and cool inside. Plenty of tables and chairs.

Had two of their teas: Passion Fruit Tea with Lychee Jelly ($5.25) and Taro Whole Milk Tea ($5.50) The passion fruit tea drink itself was okay. We ordered 50% sugar but it tasted like 0% sugar. Other than that, the tea itself wasn't too bad with the lychee jelly. The taro milk tea, however, tasted super gritty and grainy. This one we ordered at 75% sugar and it was too sweet. The tapioca balls were also kind of hard, like they had been sitting in the mixture too long. Ended up tossing the taro milk tea before I finished. The sugar level seems a bit inconsistent with 50% sugar tasting bitter and 75% sugar tasting super sweet. Also would not order the taro again. It wasn't well blended and you could taste the powder.

I came here often even after new owners. At beginning of new owners,the food was almost same flavor as previous owner. But today I order medium spicy for chicken bites. I told cashier the screen shows "mild", can you change to medium spicy which the meau shows 2 chili's. Cashier response me: mild is the most close one to medium spicy , you don't necessary to put medium."!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course my order was made wrong.

I love all their teas! The staff is always happy to answer my questions if I want to try something new, and the service is very fast! One of my favorite Boba places in town.
Chicken Bits meal now includes only one side dish that is no longer kimchi, rice isn’t sticky very dry. Used to love coming here after work. I’ll now go to h mart to get good Asian food and bubble tea. New owner please listen this is constructed criticism. Would love to come back.

This place is in a little strip center right off I-10 next to an Asian grocery store and bakery and the drinks here are very authentic. Most other tea places use powders and artificial flavoring for drinks but not here, they use real ingredients and if they are out of something, they will offer a substitute option. They have the options for small and regular but they have a Texas' size Boba tea that is 24ozs! The line can get long at times and the parking lot is deplorable but for a little tire damage and few bucks you will get consistently good authentic Boba tea.

I think this is the best boba place in this area of Houston. I go here religiously, and I have never had ANY bad experiences. Staff are always kind, informative, and respectful. Never have to wait more than a few minutes. Additionally, I am a tea connoisseur, I drink it all day everyday, and this place is the real deal. The tea is made from leaves instead of powders and syrups like most places, and the quality is distinct. Definitely go here for the oolong teas- they are the best! The only tea place I will be satisfied with. Thank you for your good service!

Good fast bites to go with custom crafted tea drinks. No full menu available inside; note that there are rice plates listed in photos in the windows that are not listed on the menu inside. The rice plates make a satisfying lunch. Mild is still pretty spicy for wimps, so wimps should opt for non-spicy.

Staff is not that friendly. Kind of awkward. When you're running a business, you should strive to be warm and kinda talkative? Original milk tea is just okay. Flavor is a little light. Think it's made with non dairy creamer. They have quite a large selection of drinks and snacks which look good. I've been here a few times and it's always clean, which are total bonus points. Minimal seating inside and outside. The high mountain tea they serve here is probably their award winning drink. Iced and order it with crystal boba. You'll thank me later.
