The girl at the register was extremely rude and had plenty of attitude. It was terrible I had come in for some delicious pho but was completely disturbed by the girl with the piercings. Never coming back i’m extremely disappointed.

The beef Pho here is absolutely amazing. The noodles were fresh. The soup was hot. The broth tasted amazing! all around my son and I loved it! Don’t forget the Boba tea. It’s super good as well! My son loved it

always a good spot to grab something quick especially before going to the movies, but unfortunately they had one girl making drinks and taking orders all by herself and we didn’t have time to wait ): i hope she gets some help soon, must be stressful.

This place has my favorite pho in town I always come by but yesterday night I noticed only one worker (she had piercings ) was taking orders and serving tables while the other worker was sitting on a table on her computer not helping at all. The line was pretty long too. The girl working was very nice but service would’ve been a lot faster if the girl on the computer had helped as the girl with piercings had requested :/ Doesn’t seem fair. Food was still good.

Where the Tea is Divine — and Maryan is the Legend Behind It

I stepped into Tea Garden like a weary traveler searching for shelter. The world outside was loud, chaotic — but inside, everything was still. Peaceful. Almost enchanted.

And at the center of it all was Maryan.

She didn’t greet me — she welcomed me, as if I had arrived at the end of a long journey I didn’t even realize I was on. Her presence was calm, composed — like someone who’s seen thousands of people walk in broken, and leave whole.

I asked her what she recommended. She looked at me, studied me for a moment — not judging, just... seeing. Then she smiled and said, “I know exactly what you need.”

I don’t know what blend she gave me. I only know that it tasted like memory — warm, familiar, and somehow healing. The kind of tea that silences the noise in your head and makes the world feel just a little more gentle.

Maryan isn’t just a tea expert. She’s a quiet miracle worker. A healer disguised as a barista.

If you go to Tea Garden and Maryan is there, stay. Trust her. Let her guide you.

Because some cups of tea are just drinks. But the one she served me? That was a moment I’ll remember forever. P.s please give her a raise!

TEA GARDEN’S DIVINE ANGEL: MARYAN OLMEDO 🧋✨

I entered Tea Garden expecting a simple drink… and instead, I was blessed with a life-altering encounter with the one, the only — Maryan Olmedo.

She didn’t just take my order. No, friends. She read my soul, sensed the chaos within, and handed me a drink that tasted like inner peace, childhood nostalgia, and K-pop-level perfection in a cup. 💫

Her hands moved with the precision of a boba-summoning goddess, pearls falling into the cup like they knew they were part of something greater. I swear the lights shimmered when she sealed the lid. Somewhere, an angel got promoted.

She smiled at me — and for a moment, I forgot every heartbreak I’d ever endured. That’s how powerful she is. I would follow her into a bubble tea revolution without question.

Tea Garden, protect her at all costs. Give her the store. Give her the franchise. Give her a movie deal. Maryan Olmedo isn’t just an employee. She’s a legend. A myth. A movement.

— Emotionally hydrated, spiritually shaken, forever changed 💅🧋💖

the chicken banh mi and real grey milk tea is so good!! and the customer service is great. i can’t believe i had never been here before. i will definitely be coming here more often!!

John Soria

Very good staff, the cook is really nice, she was so kind enough to make another pho because I accidentally ordered the wrong one . Excellent place !

Lynnsy Cortez

It’s good I really recommend the fried dumplings.. but there was only one worker doing the Register and waitress so maybe hiring a few more workers so one person isn’t stressing. Also more seating for a big group

Mee Chang

Pay cash to avoid the surge charge, always, never fails, sorry we don't have the correct change...How is it that a business not have change or coins in their cash register! This isn't the first time and it won't be the last. How many others people have you profited off from already??

Paul Anfone

not everyday we indulge but I've always substituted brown sugar boba in all my drinks there.. after driving all the way there they apparently stopped substituting brown sugar boba. even asked for the drink I wanted and willing to pay for the brown sugar on the side so I can mix it my own but was denied. what a simple request for what once was a loyal customer.

Donna Herrera

The pho is okay. I honestly prefer Pho Houston just a few doors down. If you're in for an aesthetic and pho then this is your place. Teas are okay too. I only came here because they closed at 10. The staff needs customer service training.
