Great tea and snack place at the border of Nob Hill/Chinatown. Nearby to the Fairmont hotel, and to the Chinatown Public Library. Also happens to be near one of my estheticians' salon, so usually I come by afterwards to grab a fruit drink and sometimes a fried snack. Mostly a takeout spot with a few seats inside. They also sell some interesting konjak snacks on the side. Located on Powell and Jackson. read more

San Francisco Chinatown during Chinese New Year is electric . There are celebrations everywhere. You will see restaurants packed with people having food family style. You will also find people enjoying desserts from the different stores all over Chinatown. There is one place where you can enjoy a dessert all four seasons but especially during this Chinese New Year which is the Year of the horse. It is on Powell street and Jackson street and it's called Ha Tea ( pronounced Hottie). On a Chinese New Year week stroll in San Francisco's Chinatown there is a place which you can find refreshing treat. They sell everything from a Durian Latte , Strawberry Latte, Onion rings, Fried Shrimp Musubi, and cheesy ramen. I got the Mango Slush and it was juicy and not too sweet but very refreshing. This place isn't horsing around during the Year of the Horse when it comes tasty boba tea.

Ha Tea - Snow Pear Jelly with Sea Coconut & Dates Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Today is the second time I am ordering food items besides a drink. There are tons of different food selections besides beverages. The service is very quick and efficient. They post any new items by the counter. Ambiance is clean and easy to decide what you would like to order. For a Sunday there was a bit of wait time. The week days after 3pm is very busy as students come here to order items for their snacks, read more

Ha Tea - A7. Thai Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Really cute cozy spot. Huge cup of boba. The pearls were sweet. Tea was nice and creamy. Came out quick.

This is not a bad place to come by for drinks and boba. They sell milk teas, hot drinks, creamas, fresh fruit teas, saga, jellies, rice drinks and various snacks like musubis, fries, popcorn chicken etc. There's a few stools/countertops for sitting and people watching since it's right on the corner and you can watch the cable cars go by. I ordered a red bean milk tea and also a strawberry smoothie. I originally asked for a strawberry banana smoothie but was told "No banana". OK drinks, I didn't think it was too sweet. Service was quick & curt. read more

Solid spot for food, snacks, boba, and fruit on the outskirts of Chinatown along the Powell St cable car line and across the street from the Chinatown library. I also get fruit from here on TooGoodToGo, but routinely come here for boba, spam musubi, and fish musubi. Their menu runs the gamut, including takoyaki, popcorn chicken, fish and chips, noodles, and more. I think it'd be nice travel food. I also like how they have so many drink options. Service is curt and quick and can be hit-or-miss. read more

Went here twice within 2 weeks with different friends since it was convenient after eating nearby. There was no wait the times I went. They have a self service kiosk to order from but we ordered with the person working at the counter instead. The drinks were good but not great which is fine. The place seemed clean and there was a good amount of tables to sit at to enjoy the drinks and chat. One time I got the brown sugar milk with oat milk substitute and another time I got the mango slush. Both were good and no complaints. My only minor gripe about this place is that the menu behind the counter has very small font size so it is a bit hard to see from a distance. I would come back again if I am in the area and looking for a refreshment. read more

Ha Tea - Mango Passion Fruit Tea with lychee jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a cute little boba shop in Chinatown! I love how non-brandy this place is. This boba place sells a wide variety of fruit and other snacks. It feels like this shop uses fresh fruit with their boba drinks! I think that the price for each drink is pretty standard and common to other boba shops around. I always get the Fresh Orange Fruit Tea! You can customize the sweetness to your own liking, and it is such a refreshing drink. As always, the service is great! I highly recommend trying out this spot if you're closeby and near the area. read more

Small shop that is combo bubble tea / produce / light bites - ordered a lychee lemon tea that was delicious. Not too many people working there so may take a while to get your drink read more

So far I have tried their strawberry lemon fruit tea and lemon tea. On DoorDash, Ha Tea seems to be called Joy Tea and it's a virtual brand. I would come back here to try their other drinks. read more

The reason why I give 1 star because the customer service attitude, the girl looks like very unfriendly, when I asked her what's your popular drink, she looks like she doesn't care, just said you can read the menu, then I ask her again, she just point out one of the drink. When I ask her how about appetizers which one is good, her answer is same as before " read the menu by yourself," then I order fried chicken wings, she said they don't have it. Finally I only order 2 drinks instead of 4 drinks. Waiting for over 25 mins to get all my items. Recommendation if you want customer back please knowledge your servers let them understand he menu, how to talk with customer, how to do the customer service. Will not recommend read more

I loved this place for their passion fruit bubble tea with honey lemon and lycee jelly. Best Bubble tea ever tasted! They also have fresh produce there that they use for their drinks. The customer service looks like it could be hot or miss. I had a hit. The girl suggested with confidence a drink I should get and helped me pick produce that was ripe enough to eat as some of these fruits I was not familiar with. read more

I ordered grass jelly with milk tea and popcorn chicken. The drink is good and lots of grass jelly and another topping ( I didn't check on the menu) but just a little sweet for me, maybe the toppings. They didn't add too much ice on the drink . My kids love popcorn chicken and they use composed Togo box instead of paper bag. That's good. read more

Tasted really sweet. The drinks are made of syrup but I wish the drinks were made of fresh fruit as they also sold fresh fruit separately. read more

This is a really tiny boba shop on Powell street located right at the north of chinatown. It's a little bit past the stockton tunnel. There are quite of bit of snacks on the menu and I also saw a ton of fresh mangos there as well. We tried 2 regular milk tea type drinks which were good. Parking is a little bit challenging though but worth a second visit especially to try their fruit drinks or maybe something from their extensive fried food menu. read more

The boba drinks here are amazing. My kids love Taro Milk and the shop make their own Taro. The owner is so kind. If you like boba drinks, stop by, you will be glad you did! read more

I was thirsty in the middle of Chinatown so I stopped by Ha Tea for a jasmine green tea with boba. It was really refreshing and perfect for summer. This location wasn't as nice as their other ones but the drinks were good nonetheless. I would definitely come back to try their mango drinks! read more

What a refreshing beverage. We ordered the Thai tea and the mango green tea. Could not have been better I don't know why this place doesn't have a Michelin star yet. Not to mention the packaging was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We loved the versatility of the cup, including different places to place your straw. I'm in the middle of applying to colleges (you better wish me luck) and this boba has inspired me to write my best essay...here I come harvard(applying with the major of "the science behind the color orange". Anyways I definitely recommend the long trek up to this once in a life time boba experience. Sip away! read more

Awesome boba! Best portions for the price :) I got both the Thai tea and the grass jelly milk tea.

Uhhhh. I don't know what to say. I wanted a matcha jasmine milk tea but the cashier said they don't have the recipe for that. I've worked at a boba shop before and the only thing that you change is the base, from milk tea to jasmine milk tea. Cant even do that???? Anyways, to save her some face from the other customer, I just ordered a jasmine milk tea with less ice. I received my drink with no ice..... ??? read more

I've been coming here for years now. Today I decided to go order a hot milk tea and some egg puffs. I ended up only getting a Hot oolong milk tea because they didn't have egg puffs today. When I left, my drink was still hot even with a sleeve on. They taped the lid with 2 strips and it leaked from it on the way home. I suggest to change the lids so customers wouldn't be taking a drink out that leaks down onto their hands and possibly their clothes. Also, you should let customers know what items are not available by having a sign up. read more

I had to wait 20 minutes for my order. All I ordered was the fish and chips. The fish was not good at all and seemed to be frozen fish sticks that I could get at Costco or a grocery store. There were way too many chips/french fries. I know this isn't England but you could get much better fish and chips at Fisherman's Wharf or elsewhere in the city. I prefer London Fish N Chips in Hayward personally speaking. They also didn't have tartar sauce and offered me soy sauce for the fish and chips. Who needs soy sauce for fish and chips??????????? read more

ordered the mango milk tea. could not taste any mango flavor. rainbow jelly was okay. maybe just order tea next time read more

popcorn chicken was amazing and came with so many peices. so flavorful, crispy, and hot
