The iced Viet coffee drinks were amazing. Our son got an iced matcha drink that was just as tasty. Our grandbaby sampled all of them and he seemed to love them as much as we did. read more

Love their milk tea here! It's my favorite plain milk tea - creamy and not too sweet while still having the flavor of tea. I like other places for milk tea and foam and all the other fancier drink, but this is the best plain milk tea. I usually go to teahouse for their cream tea but this one beats it because it's creamier. read more

Njoi - Pineapple coconut smoothie (y'all exceeded my expectation) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wrote this rap about the smoothies at nJOI The Mango-Strawberry's so good it will anNOY Don't gulp it too quickly, this drink is not a TOY And I'll tell you the story of how I found my BOY My boy is named Mochi and he's actually a CAT He was skin and bones but now I've made him FAT He catches cockroaches and once killed a RAT They say he's superfeline, but I dunno bout THAT When Hurricane Harvey hit, he became posSESSED He tried to puncture my girlfriend's left fake BREAST He bit right through my finger and made me dePRESSED I said he was bipolar, he meowed and conFESSED But I don't really mind cause he's so damn FURRY And when it's time for bed he gets so snuggly and PURRY He might bite off your finger but there's no need to WORRY Cause he'll buy you Njoi Smoothies as his way of saying SORRY WHAT WHAT to get: Mango Strawberry Smoothie with Tapioca WHAT not to get: Bitten by Moch McGoch Bambu has the greatest smoothies on earth, plural - Honeydew, Taro Coconut, Coffee, and Berry flavours. But Njoi has the best single smoothie on earth. There is something truly magical about the Mango Strawberry smoothie here. I have never tasted anything like it in history. I Njoi recounting my stories on Yelp, even though nobody reads them. I can prove it. If you're reading this, send me a compliment or message to say that you read it. See! I knew it! Just kidding, I don't mind whether people read them or not. Like most of our generations, I just like to hear myself talk. I mean write. I mean meow. Speaking of meowing, this is the sacred location where I discovered a tiny baby kitten out front of the store, mewing like crazy. He had no family. He had nowhere to go. He was dying in the summer Houston heat. First I gave him water. Then I gave him food. Then he followed me to my car. Now he lives with me. His name is Mochi. He's perhaps the most cuddly, purry, loving cat in cuddly, purry, loving cat history. He almost cost me a finger. And he's worth it. More on him later. Service is nice here, less so if you come an hour or less before closing. Some of them know me fairly well since I'm always coming in here for the same smoothie. They use fresh fruit - that's probably part of why they're the best. The mango strawberry is the defining smoothie for me. Everywhere I go I tend to order mango strawberry in the hope that it could be anywhere near as good as the one here - as of yet it has not been. I doubt it ever will be. Bambu in Chinatown (and other locations as well), Tapioca Place in Spring Branch, and a couple of places around the country can rival these smoothies, but nobody can beat it. Their coffee flavored smoothies are also really excellent and their tapioca is yumsworthy. And the Mango-Strawb is the #1 I've had anywhere. They close way too early (8pm but don't go after 7), and sometimes there are sketchy characters in the parking lot (and I'm not talking about portrait artists). So back to my cat. I have a very soft spot for this Plaza and this Juice Spot because I found my little baby Mochi outside here. Tiny and skinny and underfed and ready to die. There are pictures attached so you can see the whole thing unfold for yourself. He was just a little baby. I took him home with me, moved him back to Buffalo, and then later back to Houston at his request. He made great friends with all the cats (OK most of the cats) in Buffalo and Houston, and despite his occasional temper and violent tendencies (I sound like a mother describing her serial killer son), he is the cuddliest, most loving cat imaginable. So full of love. I'm so glad I managed to save him. I told the girls working here the story of Mochi and they didn't remember him. But whichever girls were working here in the summer of 2016 are part of the reason that Mochi was saved, because when I first found him, they told me that Mochi was a stray and that was the only reason I was able to take him home with me with a clear conscience. Speaking of a clear conscience, may would you like to clear my conscience? And by clear I mean see, and by conscience I mean me naked. Now let's finish with one more verse de la rappe. YO my name is Fox and I've never been COY I wanna be a girl, but I was born a BOY My dream job is test-driving that sex TOY (points) I wanna get pumped like Brad Pitt in TROY (I meant BY, not LIKE, or was it a deCOY) I can be anyone you want, even James McAVOY I'll dress up as a girl, if you like, as a PLOY I'll even whine and moan high-pitched (like a girl, not a GOY) I'll nbend over nshow you nsomething you can ndestROY They better hear me screaming all the way to St. CROIX When you're done with it, it better look like bok CHOY Make me sound Latina so I start screaming OYE I'll be so good for you you'll feel like Selena Gomez's BOY In fact I'll be so good that I'll be someone you emPLOY (BTW I blow harder than wind in IlliNOIS) Oh crap this rap is 17 lines not 16 (settle down ROY) Anyway, the best smoothie on earth is at NJOI!!

After seeing someone's review regarding the Vietnamese coffee here, I had to add this comment! Their Vietnamese coffee amount is already pre-determined. The coffee is brewed strong to add the ice in later. This is not uncommon, I have seen many places do this for their Vietnamese coffee. So it doesn't matter how much ice you request. You can ask for no ice so the coffee isn't diluted, but you should expect half the cup. If you ask them to fill it to the brim, then expect to be charged for 2 cups of Vietnamese coffee. I don't think they deserve a one star based on the amount of coffee you get, but based on the authenticity of the coffee. So my rating still stands 5/5. read more

I am always in search of a delicious papaya smoothie with tapioca balls. Njoi was recommended to me by another local business near by I frequent. And Njoi definitely didn't disappoint. The smoothie was definitely the best I have had. It tasted fresh and blended nicely. In the photo that I posted of the actual smoothie you can see the thoughtful extra lid on top instead of them just putting the plastic over the cup and giving it to you without the extra lid. I really appreciated the little details that they add that make the smoothie more enjoyable like the fresh fruit they use! Very tasty and definitely my new spot when I'm near china town! Thanks! PS. If your order is under $20 you have to use cash. Anything over $20 you can use credit card read more

there's only one place you can get taro pudding in your drink. and this is the place. and this is why i keep coming back. trust me. taro pudding is where its at. their milk tea is pretty consistent. my one and only drink here: milk tea with taro pudding. simply amazing. read more

Njoi - Milk tea with taro pudding. It's all about that taro pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Njoi is honestly my favorite tapioca place in Houston. The only downside is it's not conveniently in Chinatown and it's cash only. One time I wanted it so bad and I forgot I didn't have cash on me so I went to a CVS just to withdraw some money. 1. Their milk tea is so creamy and strong. I feel like milk tea is just a go to drink and you can judge a tap place by it. My biggest pet peeve is when I get milk tea from somewhere and it's so watered down you can't even tell that it's tea. 2. Their pudding sinker is amazing!!! I would eat it on it's own. 3. Last but not least it's one of the cheapest tapioca places I've been to. I got 2 Large drinks with tapioca for a little over $7 dollars! As I'm writing this review I'm craving Njoi now. read more

Hole in the wall mom n pop tea, coffee and smoothie shop right off Beechnut and Wilcrest near Chinatown. NJoi is honestly a hidden gem with very reasonable prices (around $2.50-3.00 for teas and under $4 for smoothies) albeit it they only take cash. They use fresh fruits in their drinks, so your taro smoothie is going to taste a lot less like powder and more refreshing. Pretty much always go here after hitting up their neighbor, Jolynn's Crawfish, and will likely continue to be a customer. A+ would recommend! read more

Njoi - Jasmine tea, jasmine green tea with tapioca and the delicious taro milk shake/smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Great customer service, fast and attentive. However the smell of the place reeks of durian, and the Jasmine green milk tea is bland af! I can barely taste any jasmine in it. The ready made coffee in the half gallon is pretty good, but pricey as hell as well. I'm talking $20 for a half gallon.... I'll just make my own coffee from now on. Good lord! read more

Njoi is in my top three places for milk tea. They're probably my second favorite, actually! I come here mainly for two things only because they're that good, and that's their green milk tea and Vietnamese coffee. Their green milk tea is so unique and different from anywhere else. I can't tell if it's the type of tea they use, or their milk, or maybe both- but it's super good. I also like that their ice is semi crushed. Almost like sonic ice. I always order two or three drinks for myself! Only downside is you have to drink the milk teas fairly quickly, because once they water down, they reallllly water down. It'll just 100% taste like water. So if you order more than one drink for yourself, I'd recommend ordering the other ones with no ice! read more

I got tired of getting a FULL cup of ice from this place, so I asked for less ice this time. This is how much they give you if you don't want a ton of ice!!!! Really?

Njoi - I got tired of getting a FULL cup of ice from this place, so I asked for less ice this time. This is how much they give. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Drink was excellent! However it had way too much ice!! Cashier wasn't the friendliest either..

This is one of my all time favorite tapioca shops ever since I was a kid! I've always liked their avocado smoothies along with their jasmine green tea, milk tea, etc. It's affordable compared to other tapioca shops near by. I recently found out N'joy meant enjoy lol... anyways, the customer service is always very pleasant and they drinks comes out pretty quick, they also have a promotion "buy 5 get 1 free" in one purchase. read more

Njoi - Vietnamese iced coffee with tapioca! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

*cash only* Hands down to the best cafe sua da. Aka Vietnamese iced coffee! It's not the typical black coffee & condense milk flavor. It's something unique & tasty at Njoi. It's like crack! And it sure does keep you up! Njoi has been around for the longest. I had to pick up some coffee, & there was already a lime @ 8:30 am! Lol I guess everyone wanted some crack-coffee. Smoothies are all made with fresh fruit! read more

This small boba tea place is run by a family friend. On my way home, I have a tendency to stop by and grab a quick drink without having to deal with the hassles of driving through Chinatown, navigating through the parking lot, finding parking, and then walking there! I always end up going for thai tea, strawberry banana, milk tea, or one of the various coffee flavors. read more

Whenever I come here I usually get the Vietnamese coffee, they don't make it like the other places, I think there's a subtle amount of vanilla or something? It's nice and cool and very strong but sweet. read more

Not everything is good here but their vietnamese milk coffee is really standout. I like it more than Lee's sandwiches. Avocado smoothie is my second choice. Milk tea is not recommended though. Too creamy and not sweet enough. read more

FRESH FRUIT SMOOTHIES! All are real and fresh fruit! And it's much cheaper than other boba places! 5 stars for the Best taro smoothie ever! They use the real taro combine with the taro powder to give the texture and flavor!!!! I usually get them with a little less sugar and it's just perfect! Their durian smoothie is pretty good as well! Their Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee is also really good. However, i am not a fan of their milk tea/tea. If you like high quality milk tea/tea, then go to tea bar or specialized tea place! Disadvantage: CASH ONLY!!!! Location is kinda out of the way from everything else. Not really a hang out place. read more

Very underrated tapioca bar that's been around for quite a while. While I am slightly surprised it's not as busy considering the quality - the fact that it's so close to Bellaire is the most likely explanation. I generally order the milk tea or the Thai milk tea. The biggest worry is that it's either too sweet or not sweet enough - very rarely being in medium. They get it right in the middle every.single.time. Highly recommended, but bring cash. read more

If I can give this place a 0 star I would have, I literally said I wanted a strawberry and banana and they just ASSUMED I WANTED A SMOOTHIE. messed up my entire order then when I ask if they can remake it they wanted to charge me full price . come on now it's 2019 if I said I want a strawberry banana they should @ least ask if I wanted the milkshake or not . But yet just assumed . Also this place is VERY VERY RACIST ONLY SUPPORTS THEIR KIND read more

I love this place. Joi is a classic boba shop. Their milk tea is great as well as their Vietnamese coffee. My personal favorite is their avocado smoothie, it is the best!!! read more

My top drinks here are the milk tea and the avocado smoothie. The milk tea is so different tasting compared to other boba shops in Houston. It is definitely not watered-down tasting and has a strong tea flavor. Njoi is the only place that I'd go for a milk tea. Their avocado smoothie is also delicious - creamy and rich. I don't normally get tapioca at boba shops just because I like tasting my drink but the boba here is so soft, chewy, and a perfect amount of sweetness that I always have to add it to my drinks. read more

Drinks are still good. But I knocked a star off because there will be random times they're out of boba and it's a little inconvenient for the customer. I'm not talking about 5 minutes until they close. I'm talking about 3 or 4 hours before they close and they're out. Their avocado milk shake is really good, btw. Also, they used to have friendly workers. Now, not so much. They're OK. They don't speak English and it's kind of hard to communicate with them. That may be an uncomfortable experience for customers who don't speak Vietnamese and need to use hand signs to order their drinks. read more

Really friendly people, very fast service, and cheap prices. Their smoothies are made with real fruit, however their boba is too soft for my liking. They don't accept credit card so it's inconvenient, but their prices are 3.60 so cheaper than most read more

I always wanted an actual boba that uses FRESH fruit instead of powder. That's what you get when you go to Njoi. The Smoothies are always made with fresh fruit and quality control is splendid. By the way, their avocado smoothie with boba is definitely heaven. Not only do they serve fresh smoothies, they also serve coffee and tea. Their cafe sua da is to die for! It's premade so when you order, you get it right away. It's definitely tasty and unique. However, you can tell them to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream (for a small extra fee of course) and it'll definitely make change your perspective of coffee and ice cream. The staff of course is always friendly and can definitely speak English or Vietnamese. read more

I've only tried two drinks at Njoi: Some coconut milk with abunch of sinkers (sweet, sort of like che basically) because thats what my mom always brought home growing up. The second is the avocado.

Also their tapioca is always consistent which is a plus! read more

Hole in the wall tapioca house. Three stars for quick service and cheaper drinks than you'll find in Chinatown but that's about it. I think that their milk tea with crystal boba is the best. The crystal boba is chewy but not soggy and their milk tea is quite bold in flavor. Service is quick but not friendly and it's not exactly a good place to sit and study or even hang out with friends. It's a quick stop if you want a cheap cup of boba that tastes good. Recommend a try. read more
