i love mais teahouse i've been going here since high school and mai is so sweet every time i come. the food and drinks are always the best!

This is a pretty cool place. They have teas, milk drinks, coffee, smoothies, slushes as well as sandwiches. I had the mango/peach smoothie with green apple gummies. It was pretty good. I also had the veggie egg rolls which were ok but I would have liked a little more flavor to them. I added an order of fries which were nice and crispy. The other menu items looked pretty good and I'll probably come back and try something else. read more

Mai's Teahouse - Peach/Mango slush with green apple jellies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Richmond, Texas

This place is very close to our house. It does the job when I crave for avocado smoothie but too lazy to drive far. I love how they have board games for the customers and that the place is very spacious. The only thing I wasn't a fan of is that the smoothie kind of taste like it wasn't made with fresh fruit. I'm not very sure if they weren't because they make the mix at the back read more

Average Vietnamese sandwich place with tapioca and milk tea drinks. Nice chill atmosphere, good music. Interesting artwork to say the least LOL. Small place looks family owned and operated. Great parking. Inside his little bit small. Waiting was a little too long for some simple sandwiches. read more

I'd leave 0 stars if I could. I walked in after getting my eyebrows done at the salon next door. I asked for a Menu and the lady behind the counter didn't have the decency to hand me one, she just pointed at them. I ordered a sandwich and their Mai fries. I waited 15mins for my food, which is fine. When it was ready she said that next time I needed to call and place an order instead of walking in. I said ok and left. Got home and tasted the food, it was disgusting! The chicken in my sandwich was super salty and the bread was stale. The fries were not worth the $7. Never going back! Disgusting food and horrible service. read more

Ate here for the 1st time couple days ago. Food was great and very fresh!!! Enjoyed will be back read more

When I walked in , the store was beautiful and very comfy looking. Loved the artwork and how clean it was. Mai is a wonderful woman! I really enjoyed talking with her and she made me one of the best all natural avocado and banana smoothies I've ever had! What a nice place, I will be back soon Mai! read more

Mai's Teahouse - Yummy avocado and banana smoothie. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Richmond, Texas

I've been here twice. My first experience was great, a friendly young man took my order, which was a Thai green milk tea, half sweetened. He made it to perfection. All was good. Second time, I came with my husband, and I ordered the same drink, the same way, he ordered a cafe su da, a bahn mi, and an order of Mai's fries. Drinks came out first- and my drink was wayyyyy sweet. I know that it wasn't half sweet as I ordered, because I always order my drinks at boba houses this way. I didn't want to complain, because they were a little busy, but after a few more sips- I asked the lady at the front (maybe the owner?) if she'd remembered to make it half sweet. She said that the green tea was really strong and she didn't think I'd like it that way? Uhmmmm.... Then, she offered to add more tea... instead of offering to remake it.... uhmmm... I'm a nice person so I said that was fine. And it helped somewhat, but it was still sweeter than I liked. Bahn mi came out second. And fries came out when he was almost finished with his sandwich. My husband said his coffee was "alright" as well as the bahn mi. The Mai's fries were just ok. I wouldn't order again. Before we finished eating, the girl asked me if my tea was good now. At this point I wasn't going to bother saying that no, it really wasn't, and just nodded yes. I really wanted to love this place, but this last experience was meh. read more

The food is very good, i got the mai fries and they were AMAZING! The customer service is very good as well!

I ordered the lychee smoothie with a shrimp banh mi & it was delicious. Everything is pretty inexpensive. They lady who took my order & made everything was really nice as well. Definitely recommend for a quick lunch spot. read more

I saw this place on the way home from a party and decided to check this place out. I've been to many different teahouse for drinks never really snack because they always have the same snack. I love this place because they actually have good sandwiches. They have different bite size snacks that other teahouse doesn't. The portion of the snacks is huge! Worth the price you're going to pay for. The drinks was good and they have some new drinks that I haven't seen either. My boyfriend like their green tea Thai tea. The girl that took our order she was very nice and friendly, even though the guy in front of us was being annoying but she still have a smile on her face. The service was quick and the quality was perfect. The plus size is that it's close to where I live so I'm excited to go back there for a drink and their fry oreo. I would recommend this place to people. Go check them out. read more

I love coming here! It's right up the road from me. The owner is always so nice and welcoming . And she always has the best music playing in there! Lol! I come here every other day and get the matcha milk cream tea and man is it good! I decided to take a break from energy drinks and coffee and this matcha cream tea is a great sub! It gives me great energy without the crash . It's so creamy and yummy how she makes it. I love the fact that she remembers what I drink every time I come. Let's me know she actually cares about her customers . The other other drinks as great as well! I highly recommend the fried Oreos ! Omg! Great tea house read more

The experience that i got was terrible.We had to wait 30 minutes just for the drinks. Then i had to wait an hour just for the fries .The fries were hard as a rock, and the drinks tasted like powder,and the service was bad the employee was fighting with the customer.Cause they were taking a long time. I do not recommend this place!! read more

I ordered the Mai's Fries w a fried egg on top! Delicious. The only thing I have to complain about is that when I ordered the fries together they over stuffed the container and it was a messy disaster. I also got the Thai tea tapioca. A little too sweet but pretty good Thai Tea! read more

It's gets better and better! The Owner is present in her business. The tea house is convenient to mission Trace, twin oaks, mission bend area. Great fresh smoothies and their green Thai tea is amazing! They allowed my husband to customize his smoothie! Great service! They have food as well! My only suggestion is do not come 5 minutes to closing...there is a crazy rush. read more

Friendly neighborhood boba ! Go support her. Amazing drinks & great food for after school shenanigans.

Very welcoming little shop. Enjoyed a hearty laugh with the shop owner and had a delicious BBQ Bánh Mì and Jasmine Green Tea. Will definitely come back out here again. :) read more

Mai's is my go to since bellaire is so far for tapioca! Its super close to my house and I'm addicted to their Thai tea slushee! So yummy! I pretty much got my family addicted to this place too. The food and cafe sua da is bomb as well. They never disappoint! Friendly staff & clean environment... and the music is always on point. Great place to study or just hang out with friends! :) read more

Mai's Teahouse - Thai tea slushee with tapioca! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Richmond, Texas

I have mixed feelings about this place so the ratings is pretty much based on the food/drinks. I was happy that we were getting a teahouse nearby but I didn't want to go in expecting too much. My friend previously had told me he wasn't a fan but only had a drink there so I never took the time out to try out. Today my other friend suggested this place and said the drinks were kinda meh but the food was pretty good so I decided to go. I tried their mango green tea, ranch chicken which was suggested by the guy taking my order, and Mai's fries. They have a small menu since they're just opening but I was kinda looking for the standard jasmine green tea by itself but they only had fruit teas (black/green). I thought about it and maybe it's more fitting for the customers around the area and even in general, not too many of my friends like the strong tea taste I look for in my drinks. I also tried my friend's coffee slushie of some sort, but I was indifferent about it as well. The tapioca consistency was a bit on the mushier side for me and I like it a little more chewy. I would be willing to come back and give it another go after some time to see if that has changed. The food was pretty good though! I ordered the ranch chicken with medium spice but I probably could have ordered more spice because it wasn't spicy at all. The ranch seasoning is very light but I do enjoy that it's freshly made (came out super hot). It's like their version of popcorn chicken except the order appears a bit smaller (covers the surface of a small to-go box and a bit more) but because the chicken is bigger, it can be more filling than it looks. The egg was made perfectly for the fries (I ordered an egg on mine). I should have specified egg cooked over hard instead of all the way loll, that was my bad but I ate all the egg white. The fries were pretty big and the meat is alrightt...they do put some kimchi though unlike some places that cheap out on it. Not my favorite batch of fries but still pretty good. Just wish that their food can be on some plates of some sort, but maybe they're working on that! However, this place does stand out for the customer service. All of their workers are so pleasant, especially the guy taking our orders. He was super helpful and offered out a stamp card without either of us asking about if there was anything of the sort. Their friendliness definitely won me over to come back (even if it's just to try more of their food if I don't end up liking my next drink too much). It reminds me of a smaller Kim's teahouse since it's a little more pricier than the Bellaire tapioca places and a bit more modern? Not sure how to describe it. But overall, it's okay and I would come back occasionally but it hasn't completely won me over even though it's soo much closer than any other boba place currently. read more

I got the durian smoothie and it was ok. They didn't use enough of durian and put to much milk and ice. So the drink came out bland. It tasted like a frozen milk drink with a hint of durian. read more

First review so I'll try to make it as thorough as possible! I mostly docked off 1 star due to the wait time! We ordered five drinks, all with tapioca and it took a little under thirty minutes to receive all of them- understandable since they just opened! Overall, drinks are good! We tried the blueberry banana smoothie, almond milk tea, strawberry banana smoothie, and regular milk tea. Tapioca is not as chewy as we would like, but taste is overall, pretty good! We would recommend to people who live nearby. Glad there is finally a tapioca place close by to us! Also, the interior is thoughtfully decorated, with plenty of color, and I would consider coming back to study! Side note: Owner + workers were very friendly! read more

Location is extremely convenient and close to the suburbs. Used to drive 20 min for tapioca and now it's about a 5 min drive from my neighborhood. Price is fair for food and drinks compared to any other tea house but the quality easily beats any other teahouse I've been to lately Extremely clean and par levels on napkins, straws, condiments, and toiletries are on point. Amazing customer service, if Bao or Mai are working you're definitely going to get your order as quickly as possible. I appreciate that they have "Operation" and "Jenga" for guests to play with because I couldn't afford board games as a kid and definitely still can't afford them as an adult with bills piling up read more

When here the other day, 1 str for the poor quality milk tea. Kung Fu tea/Kim's tea house is the best choice in my opinion, try it out and compare. read more

ordered two drinks jasmine milk tea - way too sweet even though I had asked for less sweet. not even that sure that what I got was jasmine milk tea as the color was a lot darker than what is usually normal for a jasmine (green tea) avocado coconut - was a second choice when I had originally intended to order a avocado durian but they had no durian (why keep on the menu if it depends on durian availability which is seasonal?) - drink itself was not good really wanted to like this place read more

The tea here is absolutely amazing I had the honeydew milk tea! I also had the Mai's fries with an egg on top. I would highly recommend them. This place is great and excellent Service. read more

The decor seemed to over done. It doesn't feel like a place id'e spend a lot of time sitting in. The BBQ sandwich i ordered tasted good but the pork was pre-packaged and warmed in a microwave. The bubble tea was good. read more

Atmosphere was very chill and comfortable but my drink (milk tea) was very bitter and watery. But, when I tried a fruit tea, it tasted refreshing. read more

Gave this place a second chance on a non busy day and time. It's been a while since their grand opening. Prices are high averaging 3.75+ for normal drinks by itself. They take forever and have a hearing problem with taking an order. Quality of the drink is very mediocre. read more

LOVE MAI'S! I visit probably three times a week with my daughter. Lavender milk tea is off the hook, that was the first drink I ever tried per Mai's recommendation and did not disappoint. I am stuck on the bubble ice coffee with ice cream blended, have to say it beats Starbucks!! My daughter is more daring, she tries a different smoothie each visit but we have liked them all. Try this place out!! read more

This review is based only on my experience with the drinks. Their smoothies are $3.75 and their milk teas are $4.00. With a milk tea's price that high, you would expect similar quality of drinks as other tea houses in bellaire, however their drinks were a really big disappointment. I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with less ice and a Mocha Smoothie. The Jasmine Milk Tea came with no ice and didn't taste anything like it's name at all. The tea tasted more like a really bad Rose Milk Tea, and like another reviewer said, "it had a strange aftertaste". I couldn't finish it and only drank 1/5 of it before throwing it away. The Mocha Smoothie could've been a lot better if it was sweeter, but it became more watered down as my friend continued to drink it. A waste of money. read more

Ok so this place opened up few months back and had some good reviews so I had to try it out. Located closer to fm1464 and westpark tollway, this place is a gem!!!!! Had Mai Fries and smoothie, both were good and fries were good for 2 people!! Will try their sandwich next time. read more

If there's one thing you should take away from this review, it's to try the meatball sandwich (banh mi xiu mai). This is the owner's recipe and it's legit. Being Vietnamese myself, it's nice to have a place that goes beyond the typical barbecue sandwich, which is great as well by the way. I've personally tried the combination, BBQ, and meatball sandwiches and can safely say that I prefer these over anything offered in Chinatown. I should probably mention the drinks which are delicious since it is a tea house, but trust me that the sandwiches alone are worth the stop. PS: This is probably the only yelp review I'll ever write just to let people know to come support this awesome place. I need this shop to do well so I don't have to drive down Bellaire just to get my banh mi fix. read more

Food was amazing. I had the Mai fries with a fried egg and a Thai green milk tea. Both were delicious but it took 20 minutes to get it for to go....A little bit longer than I would want especially because my lunch break is 30 minutes read more

First time checking this place out and I have to say the staff is energetic and very helpful. I ordered the taro coconut smoothie and it was delicious!

The regular milk tea with tapioca and lychee is good here. Pretty annoying they don't have a stamp card.

Hands down everything I ordered was delicious! My kids and my husband enjoyed everything too. First time here yesterday with my daughter . And the girl that took our order which I think is the owner because she was very helpful and very nice . I ordered eggrolls ( best I have had at a Teahouse ) they are authentic Vietnamese style. I am Vietnamese btw . Chicken pot sticker were also a hit ! Winter melon tea and slushee were amazing . I actually got to taste winter melon in it. Most places always add too much tea ratio. Taro was so perfect, not too sweet or milky. It taste just a like taro should naturally taste. Just a little bit of sweetness. . Tapioca balls were very soft , such a plus . Can't rave enough. And lastly spicy beef sandwich was the bomb!! So delicious. Thank you for your recommendations . I trusted you and it was amazing. I'll be back. read more

Very generic tea bar, filled with high school students around 3 pm. Fun and clean space the employees are extremely kind!

First time going to this place and I absolutely loved it! I'm a sucker for Tapioca and this place is great. Not to mention that it's 5 minutes away from home. As soon as you walk in you get greeted and you get a great vibe with top hits playing on their radio! Also great interior decorations! Now for the drinks.... DUN DUN DUN*** (sound effects) my favorite has to be Matcha Green Tea with double tapioca(just because Tapioca is the bomb) I will definitely be back! It is convenient and delicious! read more

Staff always nice food always so good and so is the coffee smoothies and boba. The calamari is to die for. The main lady whose there a lot is super sweet. There's games and comfy seating. I take my sister, friends and boyfriend here a lot and they love it too. read more
