JTEA do I love you?? Am I riding?? Say I'm never gonna leave cuz you're exciting!! Yeah unfortunately I had to go back to Florida lol... but this was one of my favorite places in Houston. I mean they really don't have many drinks here but they have good drinks. If you're a matcha or original milk tea person then this place is definitely for you! Their original milk tea comes in 3 different styles but you can get the classic. Its pretty sweet but it's gooooood. The matcha tastes a little different from what I'm accustomed to but it was still booming. Everybody orders it! They even have matcha boba. Also, I never seen this done before but they have bottles and gallons you can buy and take home without ice. The vibe here is excellent tho, I can't complain. We sat there and played uno and had a great time. This was one of the few places we ended up coming back to again with the one week we were here. They also have fooooood. Menu down below. read more

If I were to base this review on their Christmas decorations, they would get 6 stars! Unfortunately, this is about their business. The employees/service is fine. Not the greatest or friendliest, but very average for Chinatown. My problem is that they add wayyyy too much ice and sugar to their drinks. You basically get a cup full of ice and two sips of tea. If you ask for less ice, you still get the same exact amount of tea, so the cup is not full. And even then, it still contains much more ice than you would get elsewhere. Although they do have a variety of interesting snack options, they lack tea options. That, along with their ice and sugar problem is what knocked off some stars for me. read more

It's a small place but decoration is very cute. You definitely should try milk green tea and aloe vera yogurt! Staffs are very friendly. Few staffs but very helpful, especially the girl name Y. read more

JTea - Milk greentea & aloe vera yogurt - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been coming here so many times and Jtea never let me down! They have a very unique milktea flavor, the matcha jello with matcha milktea is a excellent combination! Cheese milktea is pretty new and it is good, too! They also have many vietnamese street food which are very delicious and authentic! However, the store is VERY small and not suitable for studying or working here. Hanging out with friends is OK but you may not get a seat! I love love love this place so much and I wish they would have another store!!!!! P/s : i took a lot of photos whenever i came here, I remember i already posted review for JTea but wonder where it's now! Hmm.. will update photos later! read more

the drinks taste really good, and i would love to give it five stars, BUT i felt like i paid for a cup of ice! i cannot believe i paid $5 for 3 pieces of jello, one cup of ice & a dribble of tea :, ). no cap, i took 5 sips of this & it's already almost gone. it's good, just not worth the price read more

The bubble tea scene in Chinatown is fierce, but if you go on the other side of the Beltway towards "Viet-Town," you'll find a nice little tea shop by King Spa! I saw this place on Instagram and was very curious to see what their tea would taste like. The menu carries your usual teas, but I was very surprised to see how many traditional Vietnamese food/snacks the shop carries. For the tea, I really enjoyed the Milk Tea No.5. The menu indicates how much sugar, tea, and cream they put in their drink. I prefer my teas to taste strongly of tea and opted for this. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the tea. It was strong and didn't feel overly sweet. The boba here is also very good too-- very chewy and sweet. There wasn't an after taste and it still tasted good even after a couple of hours. For price, it is very competitive, maybe even cheaper than some of the other places I frequent (approximately $3.75 vs. $5). The set up of the shop is cute with lots of greenery and lights. My one gripe is that if you ask for less ice, they don't fill the tea to the top of the cup. I know a lot of places do this, but it just feels stingy to me when this is practiced as there are lots of places that don't do that. read more

I like milk tea in here.. it's not sweet... and it's so fast when I ordered... i like it..

This boba place is vietnamese based and I really like how they offer unique vietnamese drinks and snacks. I went with my one of my vietnamese friends and none of us were really familiar with what they offered. I tried the aloe vera drink. I was expecting a very liquid-y drink and the it was actually yogurt. The consistency was thick and I love the bits of aloe vera... I even added their milk pudding as well (texture is similar to panna cotta). It wasn't too sweet and I liked it better than I expected. I would ask for more aloe vera as it really makes the drink. Will definitely be back since my grandma lives close by! read more

Update: I've tried a good amount of items here. The fruit tea is amazing and refreshing! The tirimisu milk tea is delicious! The brown sugar milk is too light, get the brown sugar milk tea!! Trust me!! The green milk tea with jellies are yummy, and you can definitely taste the green tea. Lastly, the milk tea is wonderful considering that most places don't make the tea strong enough. The yogurt is waaaayyy too thick. Tastes like sweeten Greek yogurt. I don't recommend this honestly. Try them out!!! read more

Jtea is really underrated, if you want something different from your milk tea and for it to have great flavors along with toppings, then a "Green Drink" or "Brown Drink" is your answer. read more

The tea and milk tea is really good. Order the peach green tea. It is awesome and refreshing

I have heard that Milk Green Tea with Milk Jello is a signature drink and tasty. So, I tried today, but it was not as I expected. Actually, it is a Thai Green Tea; it doesn't have the smell of matcha green tea ( I think I misunderstood when ordering) or tea flavor at all. About milk jello, they're firm (I like this) but has no taste of whipping cream as many milk jello I used to eat. I also bought BanhTrangTron, it's okay and not spicy. Overall, the drink and food are average, the price is reasonable. I want to give 2 stars but I like the customer service, she was very friendly and didn't mind when I changed the order. Anyways, I would come back to try other drinks. read more

I had their Hokkaido Milk tea here, it was really good. The tea flavor was on point. They also serve little snacks like fried chicken feet and banh Trang tron which was really good! read more

Mình có ghé quán lần đầu để thử bánh tráng cuốn và bánh tráng trộn. Mình khá thất vọng về dịch vụ, lúc mình tới mua nhân viên tỏ vẻ mặt cực kỳ khó chịu, hỏi chuyện thì không thèm trả lời lại, khi muốn t vấn nớc uống cũng kiểu nh nói qua loa! read more

I've been a loyal customer. The food is great, but customer service is awful. I knew it'd be a long wait, so I call ahead (about 20 minutes ahead) for my order. But when I got there, after charging me for my order, they told me that I had to wait for another 20 minutes. I was in a rush, so they returned my the money for the order that I couldn't get. But the return didn't include the tax money they charged. I thought it'd be too petty to ask for that tax, so I didn't. But this happened twice to me already, and it just gets on my nerve ... read more

Everything is good, but only one thing that bothers me is the attitude of the girl at the clerk. I can't see her face or her name, but she works on Thursday at 3:10 pm. I don't like her attitude at all. Give two stars for the drinks but dislike stars for the girl. read more

JTea - Tropical fruit tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Used to love this place but feel like I'm getting jipped. When I request for something with no ice. It's because we do not live near Bellaire and we do not want it to go get watered down. So I request for all my drinks with no ice if I'm buying it for my family. They only give you a half of cup of liquid. I can understand 75% or 80% full. Not 50%. This place is always over charging and now counting pennies with us. I'd rather go elsewhere if I'm coming home with only half a cup of a sealed drink for my family. I thought about whether I should post about this but realized I should. I've been r&b and they do not reduce the amount of liquid for their drinks. If they do, it's only about 85% full. Not half full!!! read more

I got the #1 drink here with some banh bot loc and flan. My drink was awesome ! I like that it came with the jelly on top. My drink was pretty and tasted good. Yum yum. The banh bot loc was good too. Prices here were affordable. I got everything for $12.99. Compare to where I live in Vegas, this place was more affordable. read more

JTea - Loved my drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love the menu. Although there are lots of changes since they opened a year so ago. Our go-to drinks are green milk tea with the jello, peach tea, coffee salted foam, brown sugar fresh milk. Taste very flavorful and satisfying. I highly recommend this hidden gem if you are a tourist or not familiar with Bellaire. read more

Quality is going down. They cut down topping while keeping the same price. I understand business may get difficulty during covid-19. But let's be fair, I got good quality/amount at another famous milk tea place like Gongcha/Dingtea, I dont think I will come back here read more

Today we try the coffee "cà phê sa bt" and the aristoke here, they're really good. 5/5 read more

I come here frequently. The place has upgraded ever since the last time I came here. During the weekdays, it's not as busy as the weekends. If you looking for a cafe to get some work done, don't come on the weekends because it's usually loud and busy. The place is really small and has a contemporary interior design. Every time I come here, I always get the Green Milk Tea. This place makes the best Green Milk Tea of all the places I've been to. The service is usually quick; the average service wait time is around 1-5 minutes. All in all, it's a great little place to grab a snack or drink and hang out with your friends! Definitely recommend! read more

JTea - Matcha green tea with jelly topping - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really cute aesthetic simple drink place! Nestled in a kind of secluded area, parking is pretty wide (shared with other stores around.) I ordered #1 which is the milk green tea with milk jello. The drink was balanced, not overwhelming; 5/5. You could taste the green tea and the milk tea all at once and the milk jello was a bonus!! I love how creative they got with the milk jellos in their drinks. Next time I'm ordering extra jellos lol read more

I love the yogurt drink, they also have very good milk teas and food selections. It's a great hangout spot, however, the kitchen closes from time to time and that's the reason why I only give this place 4 stars. read more

I seriously tried all drinks from menu before leaving a review on here. They are all very good and worth every penny! Their milk teas are creamy and not too sweet. I love their Fresh Milk with Black Sugar Boba. Although there is no tea in this, only milk and black sugar but the taste is amazing! This is my favorite here as well as the Green Milk Tea! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed with their drinks! read more

i ordered their milk green tea with no ice and was served a kid sized drink in a regular sized cup. after dumping the jelly cubes in the drink, it barely filled the cup halfway. killed it in several sips. some fresh juice shops will tag on an extra dollar for ordering without ice and fill the cup rather than serving a drink that's a third full. fresh juice shops, i understand due to the amount of fresh fruits it requires to make the extra juice, but what are you losing here? cheap milk powder? read more

This place looks nice and different compared to other boba shops. It has some kind of Starbuck vibe I tried milk tea no.5. It was good!! With a place that just recently opens and has a lotttt of employee and good drink, I believe Jtea is a very potential competitor to other boba shops. I'll definitely come back! read more

JTea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

There's so many boba spots opening in Houston that I never noticed this spot till just recently. JTea serves a handful of drinks and Vietnamese snacks although they don't have a variety of drinks like other boba spots (Long Coffee for example). I tried out their most popular drink: Green Milk Tea with Milk Jello. Their Green Milk Tea is on the thicker/sweeter side compared to other boba spots as evident by the froth accumulating above the drink. I prefer my teas to have a predominant tea flavor than milk flavor and this drink unfortunately didn't follow that format. I will admit, the drink wasn't bad, just that it was a tad too sweet for me. They premade their drinks so you can't adjust your sweetness level. The milk jello is semi-sweet and offsets the drink relatively well though. Overall an average experience based on that drink alone. Will come back to try their snacks read more

JTea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love this place!! I've tried several of their drinks here and my favorite is the #1...green milk tea with some kind of jello cubes. The milk tea is very creamy and so incredibly flavorful. I've also tried their banh mi with banh bot loc. The bread was crunchy while the bot loc was chewy which made for a texture experience I've never had before. Must try! read more

Back history: I am a loyal customer of JTEA. Back when they were at the karaoke night club place that was in the same plaza as Lee Sandwich. Where you would see 2-3 people come in and the salesman(owners dad) was there to sell the drinks. Im so happy for them that they now open up this boba shop now. Back then, they only open until 6 pm. After 6 months, they moved to Pho Tran- which was my least favorite spot to go to. Now: I still come here whenever I craze green tea. Their price is just amazing, $4 with toppings. I normally get the to-go bottle, so I can enjoy it at home. All my friends know how much I love this place and how much I rave/introduce to other people. Best of the bests! read more

Okay, it was a really bad idea to come here on a holiday. The space is small and cute, but shove 15 people in there...and it's not as cute. They don't seem to believe in AC either, so the uncomfortable feeling of claustrophobia was complete. Their menu was kinda vague...milk tea no. 3 and milk tea no. 5. I asked what was the difference. Their explanation ranged from no cream, milk instead, is less, and other phrases. I looked so confused that another employee tried...but I honestly couldn't understand her either so I just ordered their green milk tea with milk jelly because at least I could read that off their board. They seemed very nice, but they seemed just as confused by the menu as I was. The green milk tea tasted good. It was a very light green tea flavor. The powder wasn't 100 % dissolved, so it was kind of scratchy on the throat. The milk jelly didn't have too much flavor, but my friend liked it. I liked the flavor of the green tea enough that I'd want to try their other milk teas, but I'd definitely wait until they had a more detailed menu... read more

Tea was really good, but I didn't like that I wasn't able to make my tea 1/2 as sweet (I like to do this at most tea houses) their teas are pre made, so it wasn't an option. The environment was a bit too loud for my liking, but I think I might have just gone at a busy time. Overall, I did enjoy it. Good tea, and a cute interior! The food also smelled great, just didn't get to try this time. read more

JTea - Taro milk tea with taro jello - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came in here for some dessert and I didn't know what to order so I went with my coworkers suggestion: Green Milk Tea with Milk Jello ($4). The price is fair and the flavor of this drink tastes pretty great! The milk jello is a bit different from other drinks such as milk teas with boba. I like it! From outside it looks like tofu, but it doesn't taste like tofu lol. I'mma go back for more because this place has much more to offer for desserts. Let's say I have a weakness for sweets. read more

I usually don't drink tapioca but I'm in love with the panna cotta jelly that's in the drinks. I love the creamy flavored jelly's . Parking is hard to find sometimes especially after work hours. Many businesses around the plaza. Located in the King Spa plaza if you don't already know. The selection isn't as big for you to choose from. More selections means more headaches. So I applaud them for making it simple and easy. Definitely my go to tapioca drink place. read more

Jtea is AMAZING my fav is the peach perfection their decor in the building is cool I recommend it for drinks

Cute place. Smaller than I expected but I got drinks to go so it wasn't a big deal. Service was friendly. Milk Green Tea with Milk Jello - 4/5 - I wasn't sure what I was expecting but based on how many people love this drink maybe I'm just weird for not loving it too. It was just OK but not bad. The milk jello was just cute, didn't really taste like anything. Strawnana - 3/5 - my sister got this one, the brother said it tasted like children's tylenol but my cousins and sister liked it. I didn't think it was anything special. I don't typically like fruit smoothies and if I do, I don't like any fruits blended with other fruits. Milk Tea No. 3 - 4/5 - my brother got this one and it was like any other decent milk tea. I will come back to try other menu items for sure. Looks like there are a lot of interesting things. I just don't like driving in this area much due to the crazy drivers. read more
