    Taro Bubble Tea

    Why does the bubble tea taste like water now. I am just drinking flavored water. Sad face. It used to be better, which makes me think they started watering it down. Other than that this place is pretty decent for food. But if you want boba go to Fuku Tea, they are so much better.

    Needed a quick lunch. This place fit that perfectly. Ordered chicken cashew with white rice, veg spring roll, and diet Pepsi. Wait was short, price was fair, service was pleasant, food was hot and good, portions were large. Satisfied.

    You have a self order kiosk available which is nice. We got an entree with 1side and entree with 2sides, and a shrimp dumplings. The noodles and tofus are ok. The sesame chicken and orange chicken taste like the same flavor, but it seems they freshly make them. I would recommend the shrimp dumplings, but the rest is ok.

    Located in the heart of Schenley Plaza, "Asia Tea House" has been my go-to for inexpensive yet wonderfully delicious American Chinese food. The portions are MASSIVE, and the prices are about $11-$15 depending on what you get (it used to be cheaper before the pandemic, too). The service is quite fast and always friendly--the workers will always greet you from behind the counter. As this is a food stand located in Schenley Plaza, there is no access to sit inside the restaurant so I cannot comment on the ambience. Great place to go if you're in a pinch between classes and are looking for a filling meal!

    What an amazing "hidden" gem in Oakland. This food kiosk in Schenley Plaza is a can't miss stop for lunch. When I say everything I order was delicious I'm certainly not lying. The crab rangoons had great flavor and really good filling to shell ratio. The chicken egg roll was one of the best I've ever had. Super crispy without being too greasy. And the teriyaki chicken with lo mein (you have the choice of rice or noodles) was delicious and an mammoth portion. The chicken was well cooked and moist and the noodles were thick and flavorful. If you're looking for a place to rank among the best Chinese food you've had in Pittsburgh that also boast a great atmosphere with outside dining this is the place for you.

    One of the better places I've gotten Chinese food from in Oakland! I've ordered this in-person and via Uber Eats now and both ways have had pretty much the same results. This meal cost $10.25 before tax, so pretty good value. The ordering process was fairly simple, and the food came out quickly and HOT. It was shocking how fresh it was. Much more of a grab and go place, as the only seating they have is outdoor seating in schenley plaza. Not a bad thing, but also could be improved!

    The boba was simply inedible and we got the classic one. The boba was weird and kind of flaky? The tea wasn't your traditional milk tea. It had a weird foam on top. We had one sip and left it out all night and the foam in the drink was still foamy?? It tasted weird too. Would not recommend the boba from here. Please go somewhere in Sq. hill, this is not real boba. Love hanging out in schenley though.

    I stopped by Asia tea house on a recent visit to Pittsburgh, mainly to kill some time before an event. I wasn't sure if I was hungry, thirsty or both and fortunately it was still open so I was in luck regardless. It's a walk up counter with outdoor seating available. A friendly girl opened the sliding door for me to order. They had a decent selection of dishes. I ended up opting for a tea drink which they had about six or seven options. I chose their strawberry bubble drink. Within a few minutes it was ready and I pretty much devoured it. Tons of bubbles inside to chew on and the strawberry drink was not really what I was expecting but I ended up really liking it. It wasn't tea and milky and it wasn't necessary a smoothie it was some sort of hybrid which I really liked overall. And it was only $4 or so for a large which I enjoyed even more. It's a good place for a quick bite or drink in the middle of the college town.

    Asia Tea House is exactly what you would expect it to be. It's Panda Express-caliber fake Chinese food, but it's cheap, quick, and convenient. When you're hungry in Schenley Plaza and want a quick snack or a full meal, you can easily order from here and have hot food at your disposal in 10 minutes. The workers are always super nice and you get a lot of food for not a lot of money. My singular takeout meal was enough to last me 3 meals! I would definitely recommend the green beans. The bubble drink was nothing to write home about; neither the drink itself or the boba had much flavor. However, the overall dining experience gets a 5 star from me. You can't expect gourmet dining from a roadside stand!

    Very cheap and you get a lot of food. Great for poor college students . Wish they could keep their prices but less food and increase the quality. Bubble tea has nice variety of flavors. Not bad. Nothing stands out here.

    Yummmm!! This bubble tea brings me back to when I lived in China and I would *not* be able to tell you the difference between this and what I remember back when I was living in Zaoyang. Just the right amount of tapioca pears with the perfect amount of chewiness suspended in a refreshing and creamy milky beverage. It was both the perfect consistency as well as perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered my favorite flavor - honeydew - and I must tell you it resembles that melon in every single way that you want it to. I have a hard time knowing what a good price would be for this but considering the area it was being sold in as well as the uniqueness of the product I thought it was reasonable. Every now and again you gotta splurge on a little taste of paradise.

    Shrimp egg roll
    Amber M.

    The chicken teriyaki with fried rice is genuinely large enough for 2 adults to split. The shrimp egg roll is huge and crunchy, and the crab Rangoon is definitely not one of those crab rangoons that are overwhelmingly cream cheese inside and nothing else. There's a more I'd like try based on this strong first impression.

    Great choices and good prices. I love that it's in the center of Pitt's campus. When it's warm out, it's really fun to sit in Schenley to eat and people watch. I used to grab this for lunch when I studied at Hillman, but due to their "no hot food policy" I've been visiting less. However, Asia Tea House has tasty food for a college budget!

    Bubble tea tasted horrible. Tasted like watered syrup. Had 1/5th of it and dumped it. Don't waste your money there.

    Yotea has an extensive menu but somehow gets everything right! Three of us stopped in yesterday…read morearound 3:30pm and basically had the place to ourselves. The inside is fairly large with a good amount of tables. We ordered a few apps to share and everything came out quickly. The smashed cucumber salad is HUGE and delicious with a lot of good flavor. The wings were crispy and the chicken satay was really flavorful. We loved the flaky egg tarts and the scallion pancakes. The chicken fried rice had a touch of sweetness to it which was unexpected but we liked it!

    The last time I was home I swung through Oakland and decided to check out Yotea & Yoka as I'd never…read morehad their food before. Wow, I was impressed. There are so many great restaurants in Oakland to choose from and they're definitely on that list. Everything from the boba to the rice and all in between is delicious. Well, at least what I had was. I will have to go back and make my way through the rest of the menu. What I had: Cake foam boba milk---OMBoba...delish (I need to try the Snow mountain boba next) They have so many drink options that it's overwhelming. Beef satay was tender and well-seasoned Fried dumplings and cucumber salad---yum Chicken Chow Fun---I think they mean Chicken Chow YES Last note: As you can imagine, they can get extremely busy as with most restaurants in Oakland. It's worth the wait.

    Ordered dimsums and a hot and sour soup. We skipped the buffet. Dimsums were good and flavorful…read more Soup was also flavorful and spicy Soup dumpling was especially good, my favorite from the line up. So often they are flavorless. We stopped in for a quick & light lunch so I can't speak to the buffet or any of the chicken dishes I see being plated for takeout. Takeout boxes were being plated from buffet bar. Service was quick and friendly.

    Service was welcoming and attentive the moment I walked in. They have a buffet that seemed popular…read morebut I was looking more for the menu options. It seemed to attract a lot of nearby people on their lunch breaks as well as students. I went in late December so it wasn't too busy and I found parking around the corner. I was seated and browsed through the menu. I ended up ordering: - Warm HK milk tea: I found this overly sweet overwhelming the milk tea - Pork with egg: This was under the HK menu with the char siu, crispy duck, and chicken option. What I got was not what I was expecting (char siu and boiled egg). The plate was more egg drop soup with pork and peas. It also had a sweet flavor. - Dim sum for one: Sui mai was decent. Har gao was off. They must have put something meant for the dessert dumpling into it. Coconut didn't have the mochi consistency I was expecting. It was very soft, not at all sticky or chewy. Staff was really nice. I just didn't enjoy my meal, unfortunately.
