One of the most authentic boba places around here. We moved from CA where they literally have a boba joint everywhere and this is so far the only place that has boba like CA. read more

Wait is ridiculously long. By the time you get your food, it's soggy. Sandwich is no longer crunchy and waffle also no longer crunchy. I ordered my food at the kiosk at 6:06 and did not get my food til 6:38. There weren't many customers btw, only us and 2 gentlemens (who were there before us). 30 minutes for a sandwich is not worth it read more

Service is good and the boba is just as good however consistently I've come here and got a tall Vietnamese coffee and they never fill it to the top. I'm paying extra money for a bigger size and I'm not talking about just a little bit not filled there's a significant amount missing. In contrast my wife always gets a small Thai tea and hers is filled to the rim always. Every time they make a tall or even small Vietnamese coffee it's only ever ¾ full. read more

Hi! Boba Tea - Check your Vietnamese coffee before you drink it or leave the business. They ALWAYS short change you and never fill it to the top. - Bubble Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Overall drinks were good just wish the employees were nicer, I never had an issue with them before but it's become to the point where none of them welcome us and don't say you're welcome when we say thank you and honestly i've stopped giving tips because the service is just terrible to be honest.. I like coming here but it's getting to where I wouldn't come here anymore read more

Definitely one of the better bubble tea shops in charleston. It's kind of hidden away in north charleston on rivers so people may pass it by or think the neighborhood is too iffy but the bubble tea does not disappoint. I have come to the point where I ask the servers to make a random concoction and I still end up loving it. Jenny and Xuan are the best! The banhmis are smaller in size than I'm used to from nyc but it's actually similar in size to the ones I've had in Vietnam. I enjoy them! The restaurant itself is very cute with a separate room for dining. There is also good music playing while you wait. I have yet to try the ice cream so I'll have to try that out next time :) read more

My 10 yo niece was coming for a visit and told her mom that she wanted to try boba tea. Her mom isn't big on trying new things so this became a job for Uncle Scott. I looked up a few on Yelp because I wanted to bring her to a fun shop. After lunch one day we drove over to Hi! to give her the authentic boba tea experience. There were no other guests at the time which was perfect. I told the staff that she was excited to try boba and they gave her some samples of boba, popping pearls, and jellies... good thing because some of them she didn't like and the whole drink would have ended up in the trash. We settled on strawberry popping pearls and maple sugar milk tea for her and a honeydew milk tea and traditional boba for myself. Plus it was their anniversary so they were doing BOGO drinks! I also got her a little boba squishmallow to commemorate the experience. We enjoyed our drinks in the cutely decorated side room and I noticed they also sell ice cream for those who don't like texture in their beverages. Whether you're a boba-rookie or tenured-in-tapioca, you'll have a great experience at Hi! Boba Tea. read more

It really wasn't the nicest shopping center, but the owners of this little place have decked it out, and they are offering a lot. Vats of tea were being hauled around on my visit, and numerous flavors and toppings were available. My kiwi fruit tea with mango popping boba was good to the last drop. They had a couple of food options but nothing vegetarian. However, for the sort of drink I wanted, they were on point. read more

The BEST boba I've had in Charleston!!! The tapioca pearls have the best texture, not too soft and not too hard. My boyfriend got the mango nada which was a great balance of spicy and slightly sweet! The tajin straw was a nice garnish too. The variety of milk teas is unique and I love the stickers, keychains, plushies they sell. Wholly Cow ice cream is available for sale as well. I can't wait to come back! Very friendly and fast service. read more

I went during a busy cup sleeve event to try their boba. The staff was very busy but I noticed there was no real order of how they were making drinks. My drink then got lost. I asked once about my drink and after about 15 minutes several more were made behind me, I asked them about my drink again and they finally stopped and made it. I was a bit disappointed that I was standing right in front of them for so long and no one thought anything of it. I got a watermelon fruit tea with kiwi popping boba. The fruit tea didn't taste like much and the popping boba was good. Maybe I would have to go back on a not busy day to give it a try. I also hope they figure out the line production a bit better. read more

Checked this place out because I wanted a refreshing, sweet drink and their oolong milk tea hit the spot. This is in a seemingly unpopular, sort of run down strip mall but it was really cute inside with a whole second room for seating as well. The cashier was super nice and patient as I browsed the menu. I'll say the drink wasn't anything special but it was good for the price and was very refreshing. It wasn't a strong oolong flavor but had a nice sweetness to it at the half sugar level. Given there don't seem to be many options for boba in CHS this was definitely a lucky find. read more

This place is super cute! It is well hidden so definitely keep an eye out when you're looking for it! Staff was super fast. I got the Thai green milk tea. It's essential matcha with milk. The boba was nice and chewy. I really liked the texture. I wish it had been a bit sweeter but that's my preference. Hubs got the oolong milk tea with boba. It was good. I liked the sweetness level! read more

Hi! Boba Tea - Thai green milk tea & oolong milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

The perfect boba place doesn't exi... Hi! Boba Tea might be the one. This v cute cafe also serves banh mi, waffles, and ice cream. I think I like everything about this place. It's really inviting, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has a concise yet exhaustive menu. The counter service is fast, the place is clean and the people working there are patient and informative. Highly recommend the pandan waffle it's green on the inside. Had to spin the block on this review to mention the banh mi. They use a particular baguette which I believe makes it special. I'd be interested to know where the bread is made. All the flavors are just right and the sauce portion is enough to make the sandwich slightly moist which is quite wonderful. The price is also reasonable. A++ read more

I enjoyed Hi! Boba for the first time today and will absolutely be back!! 1. the service is fast and friendly! 2. there is so much variety so you can customize your perfect drink, whether it be tea or a smoothie.

This place is SO cute!! I'm a huge fan of boba and this bubble tea store did not disappoint! I was overwhelmed with the amount of options and customization you have to choose from, but I opted for the mango milk tea with standard tapioca boba. The staff is also very friendly and it took maybe about 5 minutes for me to receive my order. Will be back! read more

Purchased two Taro boba, nothing but amazing! Definitely heading back for another visit.

I had the absolute BEST Thai milk tea here! The grilled chicken sandwich was also amazing and super fresh. It's definitely a hidden gem and I highly, highly recommend this restaurant! read more

There's VERY limited boba places in Charleston, so Hi Boba Tea it was. I ordered Jasmine Green Milk Tea. Usually Jasmine tea is very fragrant but not here. It's weak, generic, and diluted, even my rainbow boba lacked the freshness. I think this city lacks the choice of boba places, so of course, Hi Boba is rated higher than it would in a city with more diversity. read more

A genuinely good and local place to get Boba! Plenty of flavors and additions to your boba tea. Prices are decent here.

10% Military & Student Discount here! This place also has great Large/Tall cup portion for what you pay. My girlfriend and I both LOVE Hi Boba Tea! Family-owned business and extremely friendly staff. I've been a longtime customer and one day, when the owner was in, he gave away free hats & items that usually cost $10+ for just visiting! Their Thai Milk Tea is SOOOO GOOOOOD! read more

Hi! Boba Tea - Store logo above with the Hat merchandise they also offer. These were both given for free for just visiting when the owner was in! - Bubble Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

If your looking for authentic Boba, make sure and try Hi! I would of never known it was there due to its location. It's tucked away off Rivers in a shopping center behind Gerald's Tire near Remount. The staff was beyond friendly and appreciative of our business. Not to mention patient with me since I couldn't make up my mind on what to order. There is so many choices! The employee pushed me to order something I have not ordered and I went with the coconut boba with mango popping pearls. I did tell her I don't like sweet and she made it just that way. It was perfect! They have all kinds of boba, smoothies, teas, and even some food options. Be sure and stop in and give them a try! read more

I've been meaning to come here and wait here for the first time today. It's a cute little place and they have loads of Boba tea - kind of reminds me of the places in Los Angeles that I've been to. I love that they have a Okinawa milk tea. Alit's very local so that's good. We need something in this area. read more

This is my favorite Bubble Tea spot in the North Charleston area. It is located in a small plaza with a tire shop and liquor store next to it, so it is slightly hidden. I was initially a bit skeptical due to the location, however I am very glad to find this place. The woman working at hte counter was very kind, she took the time to explain the different teas, smoothies, and toppings i could get. They have many type of crystal pearls(brown sugar, clear, regular, matcha, fruit flavored) grass jelly, rainbow jelly, and also fruit flavored popping boba. Sweetness of the drink can be adjusted by telling them the percentage of sweetness you want. They also have an assortment of Banh Mi sandwiches and they are the only place that I have found in the area that serves authentic Pandan waffles(a type of coconut flavored, mochi waffle). I decided on a Thai green milk tea with grass jelly, and On another visit I ordered a Pandan waffle. The Pandan waffle was amazing, chewy inside and crispy exterior, and had the texture of mochi with a subtle coconut/pandan flavor. The Thai green milk tea was very good as well, they put just the right amount of ice, not too much. I will be visiting again and again! read more

Mangonada was fantastic. I haven't tried their milk bubble teas but over all the menu looks fantastic and I highly recommend everything.
