Fav spot in Ithaca for boba!…read more I really like their panna cotta and creme brulee additions. I don't love my milk teas too sweet so I typically order them with less sugar. The creme brulee topping is a tad sweeter, creamier, and not quite as jelly-like as the panna cotta topping in my opinion. It's more custardy which I slightly prefer over the panna cotta one. Good flavor and topping selection!

You have to…read moremix the paste smeared on the outside of the cup into the milk but once it was mixed in, it was a nice flavour and not too sweet. The pearls were chewy and cooked well. There are lots of drinks on the menu and most of them can be made with non-dairy milk and with the sweetness and ice levels adjusted. I had no choice but to visit them during BU move-in weekend which was the only weekend I was in Vestal and it was, as I expected, very busy. I don't usually like to order online but I did this time to save some time and that was definitely a smart move because the line was very long. I was frustrated though because I saw what I was pretty sure was my drink get prepared and set on the counter and then sit there for like 5 minutes because there was no one attending to the online order drinks. When someone made a drink for a customer that had ordered in person they would hand that drink to the customer and then immediately run back to making the next order so I couldn't ask anyone because they were always busy. I mean, it's fair that they were working hard to keep up with orders but I just wanted someone to take 5 seconds to hand me my drink.

I am obsessed with this little place; it is a must stop for me in Ithaca. I go there primarily for…read morethe bubble tea as it uses a lot of special brew teas, and authentic style teas that do not just come from flavor powders in a bag. I have ordered so many various teas from here but specifically love the Yaxi Tea, and I always add in mochi to it as it is literally perfection. It has a full bodied, warm feeling flavor. Aside from the teas and unique toppings, they also make delicious desserts, appetizers, and poke. The desserts range from sweet to savory. Service is always fast & polite. Last visit I also ordered Jiu Niang With Egg to try something a little different. It is served hot, and is a soup with sweet fermented rice with poached eggs, red dates, and goji berries...I am still thinking about it! It is the closest in flavors, vibes, and options I have found in our larger CNY area to authentic flavors.

I personally love their ramen, their build-your-own rice bowls, and their strawberry fruit green tea with strawberry boba, but that's just the beginning of what they have here. I also really like their online ordering system, because then I can just put in what I want, how I want it, and then go to the pick-up counter to get it. Wonderful for a picky eater like me! I've never eaten in the restaurant, but there is ample seating and it is always clean. Very much worth the trip every time!

Good spot to study and a wide array of unique snacks!…read more I have tried a poke bowl here as well as their lychee tee with boba. The poke was rather mediocre. I prefer Poke lava. There was hardly any fish in my poke bowl. My tea was okay, though I asked for 0 sugar it still tasted quite sweet. Boba was fine. A little annoying that they charge you extra for a hot tea vs a cold one. I wouldn't recommend their poke but will likely return to try another drink on their menu and perhaps pick up some of their snacks.

I'll admit, when I realized it was a chain restaurant, I wasn't expecting to be quite as impressed as I was. But Taichi completely exceeded our expectations. Our party of four all created our own poke bowls, and wow, did they hit the spot. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the portions were huge, and every bowl was packed with flavor. We all agreed these were some of the best poke bowls, be it spicy salmon, spicy tuna, or chicken, that we've ever had. One thing we especially appreciated was that Taichi doesn't nickel-and-dime you on toppings. Aside from extra protein, there are no upcharges for vegetables, toppings, or dressings. You can customize your bowl exactly how you want it and load it up with as many fresh ingredients as you'd like.

After conquering Watkins Glen's stairmaster-in-disguise trails, we were ravishing (yes, that's one…read morestep past "starving") and pulled into the first place that looked decent from the road. Tai Chi Bubble Tea turned out to be a jackpot find. From the outside, it looks like a modest little spot, but inside--bam!--bowls of ramen and poke so good you forget you were about to gnaw on your hiking boots. The ramen was flavorful, generous, and came out steaming like a reward for our sore legs. The poke was fresh and colorful enough to make us feel slightly healthy despite the fact we immediately ordered giant bubble teas to wash it down. The place is simple, neat, and spotless (always a good sign when you're about to eat raw fish), and the staff was warm, friendly, and patient with our post-hike indecisiveness. Portions were big enough that we waddled straight to our motel afterward, bellies happily overfilled and ready to carb-load for day two on the trails. In short: Tai Chi Bubble Tea is the kind of surprise you hope for on a road trip--affordable, tasty, and just quirky enough to become part of the memory. Ramen, poke, and bubble tea? Yes, please.
