4.5/5 I will say…read moreeverytime I've stopped by Koi Tea, they've consistently served up the perfect bubble tea drink. I've tried a lot of drinks off their menu, including the one they modified for a seven-year-old who wanted a non-tea, but hot chocolate drink with the tapoica pearls. I'm not sure if it's the workflow of making the bubble tea here that makes it perfect or if it's the individual working the register- somehow it's always worked out. And the ambiance- absolutely relaxing. Nothing beats the YouTube Korean indie and rnb mix playing on TV with the faux vines curving around shelves and the walls, with an open window space concept (tons of light)! Something that I look for with bubble tea places are how consistently their tapoica pearls are cooked through and Koi Tea has been stellar. In previous visits, I've had their viet coffee with pearls, thai tea, and I would likely pick their fruit teas over the milk combos. Sometimes the milk teas end up pretty sweet even when ordered for 50% sweetness.

Koi Tea used to have some of the best boba in Michigan. Unfortunately, things change and the…read morequality here has really declined. We stopped by on our last drive through Lansing and got: Jasmine Milk Tea, 100% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.00) - There was no tea flavor whatsoever in this drink. It tasted pretty much just like sweetened creamer. The boba also did not have a consistent texture. Most of it was way too soft and was basically like overcooked mush. A minority of the boba was only a tad on the soft side and had a good chew, which was reminiscent of the boba here a year or two ago. It feels like Koi Tea mixed two batches of boba together, which is a huge faux pas for any boba establishment. I have no idea what happened to Koi Tea in the last year. Given stiff competition down the road and the quality this time around, I wouldn't go here again.

So I met a girl who was a teacher while in this Mall drinking bubble tea. So I tried making small…read moretalk, asking her "so where do you Teachat?" She didn't get it. So she didn't... get it. Of course I wanted to like this Bubble Tea Cafe and all of the other reviews suggest that it is awesome and wonderful and the service wasn't too bad but the tea itself was absolutely atrocious. Literally one of the worst bubble teas that I've had in a very long time and for that reason I have to give a low rating. I expect that bubble tea in malls will be bad, but I've been surprised in a positive way many times. This is actually even worse than I expected. Still every Mall should have a bubble tea stand or a bubble tea stall or a bubble tea window and this mall is extremely busy so I fully support the fact that it's in here and the mall is really busy so I think they do pretty well. I just hope the people drinking this bubble tea don't think that this is what bubble tea is. I accidentally wrote another review for the same place: I met a teacher on Tinder. I was like "yo where you Teach At." She thought I was inviting her to Tea Chat, and we ended up here. The rest is history. So I went all the way out to the mall in Okemos, and since Victoria's Secret was closed, this little Boba Shop was the only reason I was there. I mean just look at the other Yelp reviews. I know some of them might be fake but some of them really aren't and people are talking about this is if it's the best bubble tea they've ever had. Including people who've tried bubble tea in cities that actually have a lot of really good bubble tea. So I thought well, at the least it's going to be okay or mediocre. No. The girl was nice enough so I have no complaints about that. But firstly she was all out of Bubbles and said that she sold out. I'm sure she just dumped them out since there was only half an hour left but whatever. This stand is rarely so busy that they'd sell out of anything. That was a bad start, and of course as usual there was no discount given, nothing was really offered, I just paid the full price as if I was getting the bubbles in my drink. Awesome. Then I get my tiny tiny tiny little drink and I take a sip and I'm just like no. No no no. It doesn't taste like black milk tea, it tastes like chemicals, or iffy Jasmine green tea, or both. It just went straight in the trash. A couple of sips and boom... It's in the trash. Not one of my favourites and a total waste of money for me. What a long detour out to the mall just to find out how much I didn't like it.

My sister and I always pit stop here when driving between Metro Detroit and Grand Rapids…read more I am convinced that all of their fruit teas with cheese foam are delicious. The grape is my absolute favorite. You know it's real when there's grape skin at the end of your drink. The Uji Matcha is also good. Just be aware that it is more of a sugar-y, Starbucks-esque matcha, not the traditional earthy tasting matcha. As much as I love Moge, I only gave 4 stars because their tapioca pearls are inconsistent. Be sure to check out their rewards/order ahead as well!

I've been to this establishment when I was in another state, and when I finally found out that they…read morewere opening one in the area, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the delicious fruit teas. The first time I went to the East Lansing location, it really surprised me. The interior was simple yet very elegant. As you could see, it was a pretty photogenic place to take pictures of your drinks. The dining area seemed pretty spacious, they had small tables and also counter seats. I've tried a lot of items on the menu, however my ultimate favorite has to be the Cheese Foam Mango Tea. There was sweetness from the mangoes, cheesy from the cheese foam, and the slight bitterness from the tea. I thought that this was perfectly balanced. The service that I got here everytime has been amazing. By far, I think it is the best customer service I have seen for boba in the East Lansing area. Overall, I'll be coming back here pretty often. I would recommend others to try this place if they haven't!

I paid it a visit because I needed new spots to study with silly drinks and it was perfect. When they have promo drinks (which they do now) they're cheap (like 4 -5 dollars for a large w/ boba) and their chicken tenders are also affordable and really good. Their spicy alternatives are also really good. It's always fresh too Service is also really good and efficient. You can order on the tablet or if you have more questions you can ask the person working. The workers are very friendly! 10/10 recommend if you wanna study with silly drinks as a college student and get some chicken as a snack. (Or their fries which are SO good). They also have a rewards program if you want free drinks and fun games like Taco Cat if you wanna hang w friends.

Uni as in Michigan State Uni, and Cha as in tea. But in case you didn't know Cha was tea, they've put tea in the name too. So it says Tea Tea. Fun times. It's a Unicorn-themed tea place, and that alone deserves a high star rating. If I was rating just based on their drinks then I would have to give three stars despite how wonderful and friendly they are in here. They didn't have any tapioca or any other topping that I wanted. A lot of places - when they run out of tapioca - will still charge the full amount, which Unicha did, and it wasn't cheap. I really think they should give you something or knock off a dollar or something - that would be better customer service. On the other hand these guys were busy making elaborate Thai rolled ice creams for a whole bunch of cute young college girls who disappointed me by not really flirting with me. They did stare at my bunny on my arm a little bit and they did giggle and have wide eyes, but there certainly wasn't the sort of flirting that I hope for when I'm working out the way I do LOL. But that is beside the point. The point was it they had great customer service and that they rustled up my tea between the very long ice cream process for all the girls which meant that I could get out of there in a reasonable time since I wasn't doing the extensive ice cream making ritual that most people come here for. As for said ice cream. Honestly it looks pretty good and more often than not ice cream places doing Thai rolled ice cream do get it right. So I will give them 4 stars based upon the fact that they are more known for the rolled ice cream and it's pretty good. But I'll have to give it another try so that I can determine if I should lower to a 3 match the really really disappointing milk tea that went straight in the trash - or a 5 which is reserved for the very best Thai rolled ice cream places that I've loved the most. Or that I've loved the Moch, if they have Mochi as a topping. I even named my lovely little fierce deadly cat Mochi. What an awesome and cuddly kid he is. And lethal and fearless. Anyway I've already said too Moch, it's time to move on to the next review.
