Back at One Tea again for some boba and popcorn chicken! This time I ordered the classic milk tea, which was good, but their peach tea lemonade is still my all time fave. Mixed it up a bit on the popcorn chicken order as well and got the curry seasoning, which was delicious. Such a big serving too that I even had some for lunch the next day! read more

If you're going here: absolutely get the fried buns with condensed milk and EAT IT IMMEDIATELY!!! It's so good that it'll melt in your mouth :) The beef noodle soup had generous portions of meat and I was impressed! The braised pork was okay as well as the cold tofu pudding. I wouldn't recommend the matcha here. read more

One Tea House - Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup Braised Pork Rice Bowl Tofu Pudding (Cold) Fried Buns with Condensed Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Ambiance One Tea House has a modern and casual vibe. Orders are placed at the front, with touchscreen kiosks for convenience. I came around 2pm and there were still plenty of customers. Service was a reasonable time. There's seating available for dining in, making it a relaxed and functional spot that feels current without being overdone. Food: Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken ($8) Crispy with a 翠 texture--light, delicate, and satisfying. The seasoning mix of white pepper, salt, and likely MSG brings out a savory, addictive flavor. The marination is mild but effective, keeping the chicken juicy inside while letting the spices shine. Deep-fried but not greasy, and the portion size is generous. The flavor is super authentic. The "plating" in the paper bag with wooden skewer is super authentic. Overall A strong showing from a new spot. One Tea House offers excellent value and flavor, with a clean, modern setting and a standout $8 popcorn chicken that delivers on both texture and taste. I'll be back. They also serve other Taiwanese favorites like braised pork and bubble tea, which I want to try next. read more

The Taiwanese Shaved Ice is authentic and a must-try if you're a fan of chomping on shaved ice with yummy taro balls, fresh taro and herbal jelly. The cornflakes are a surprisingly good addition giving the bowl a nice crunch. Definitely ask for more shaved ice. read more

Ordered on DoorDash for self pick up, since we were in the are of Eden Center. The tea house confirmed my order. I even received a text message saying according to the original estimate my food should be ready. I went there, and they did not even start. Poker face too. They did not bother even cooking my order until I showed up. read more

Great crispy popcorn chicken. I had: - Popcorn chicken (salt & pepper) rice bowl - rice bowl was okay. Better to just get popcorn chicken itself. - Popcorn chicken (garlic) - good crispiness, more flavorful than salt & pepper chicken, IMO. read more

Great fruity & refreshing boba options, sometimes a bit on the oversweet side especially if you get a lemonade option so I recommend getting a lower % of sweetness. Lots of seating and never seems to be overcrowded. Service is also quick. read more

Great and creative bubble tea shop and cafe with a variety of bubble tea, milk tea, other kinds of tea, coffee, mainly Taiwanese inspired snacks and dishes, and a few desserts. I would gladly come back to try some more of their creative snacks. I personally had the hot taro milk tea, as well as a tofu pudding with ginger syrup. Both were good to me. read more

Food quality - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Convenience/ambiance - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Love this spot! It always hits! The teas are very fresh, made with high quality ingredients and milk (as a boba expert, I know!). I also am a fan of their boba as I think it has the perfect texture. Their food is also a hit and not overpriced at all. Their $7 popcorn chicken comes in generous portions, and I've enjoyed everything I've gotten there. Would definitely recommend (plus, always nice to enjoy Eden Center). I've been to multiple boba spots in Eden Center, and this is my favorite. read more

Stopped by for boba after a trip to the Asian grocery store next door and tried the Japanese Matcha Milk Tea, 50% sweetness with boba, no ice which was about ~$7. The matcha flavor was strong and fragrant, and the 50% sweetness was perfect for me. The boba were chewy and nice texture-wise but did not have much flavor. I got it to-go, but there was seating with tables inside with a bright and airy feel. They do serve food which I saw a decent number of people order while waiting for my drink. My order was prepared quickly and staff were friendly. Overall, was a great place to stop by for pick-me up drink! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I went here all the time when I lived in the area, and I always make sure to come back whenever I'm in town. The boba drinks are always good, my favorites are the taro milk tea and the passion fruit green tea. On top of yummy drinks, they also have delicious good! The popcorn chicken is a must try. I order the pepper salt flavor and get a side of rice as well! The service and atmosphere are great as well! The workers are always polite, patient and kind. The interior is cute and offers a good amount of seating. Out of all the boba places I've tried this one has been my favorite. I definitely recommended giving it a try! read more

Cute boba shop with lots of food options and some indoor seating! I got black milk tea but I felt like it didn't have much tea flavor and was pretty forgettable tbh 2/5 Beef noodle soup 2/5 it had one of the softest and juiciest beef and the noodles were bouncy and taste handmade! But I couldn't eat it because the soup felt so off. Maybe too much soy sauce? It just didn't taste right and made me so sad since the noodles and beef were good read more

I had high hopes because their drinks are not as sugary and fake as other places, and their boba was fresh. I feel like this is so petty to complain about but they gave us regular straws that were not big enough for the boba. After 5 sips it was completely clogged and I couldn't use the straw. I was shopping so I didn't want to rip the top open and walk around with it that way. I had to just leave it in the car until I went home. read more

We went here for the buy 2 get 1 free deal for drinks. We got 2 3Q milk teas and one lychee cosmo tea. The 3Q milk tea was very watery and didn't really have a tea taste. The lychee cosmo looked pretty, but it was overly sweet. I probably won't be returning back read more

One Tea House - Bubble Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

The BEST boba tea cafe. There is a variety of bubble tea flavors and Taiwanese foods. My favorite drinks to order are the Passion Fruit Cosmo and the Lychee Cosmo. I always adjust the sweetness because 100% sweetness can be to much for me. Adjusting the sweetness helps the fresh flavor of lychee and passion fruit come through better. The Passion fruit cosmo has fresh passion fruit seeds, which is delicious! As for food, I love to get the Braised Pork Rice. The pork is full of flavor, it's got a hint of sweet. I always get an extra tea egg, because these are my FAVORITE. They are hard boiled and taste so good, I highly recommend. My family loves the popcorn chicken. They have many different seasoning flavors, we love the basil or the garlic. The chicken is popped to perfection! The meat is tender and the outside is crispy and oily. My last recommendation is the cold tofu pudding. It may sound displeasing to some, but it's so good. It's got so many different textures and flavors and colors. You can add three toppings and it comes with an incredibly good ginger syrup. The tofu is so soft, it's like eating a cloud! Moving on, the service is very pleasant. You can order on the tablet in there or with an employee. Everything is always done fast. There is always seating available and the decor is very modern and chic. It's a great place to hang or do work. I definitely would go try One Tea. read more

It's cute! The food options aren't ample, vegetarian options even less so, and I wouldn't say this is a place to go to eat healthy, though it's doable. I actually had to eliminate bubble tea from my diet because my blood sugar is too high and that stuff is basically a sugar bomb, so I drank just a plain old unsweetened black tea here and it was really nice because their underlying tea ingredient choices are good and they know how to brew it without it getting bitter, so I didn't feel like I was being deprived. I like that they let you customize your sweetness level really easily from the touchscreen. The fried tofu was pretty good and a pretty decent portion for the price. They have a few different onigiri options and who doesn't love onigiri - I got the one with shrimp tempura and spicy mayo (also not great for blood sugar but I have to live a little). My fiance got fried chicken and said it was good. A friend got a bubble tea and a different onigiri and was happy. It's hard to say much about service because this is an order-at-the counter place and they have a touch-screen menu for ordering, as well, so we didn't interact with staff much. Food came out fast. There was a little bit of a communication issue when my finance wanted a different sauce for his chicken since he hates mayo, but once I held up the sauce I got with my tofu and explained we wanted another they got it and were happy to assist. Likewise, for ambiance, it's a casual, order-at-the-counter place, but perfectly cute. Large tables. We were able to sit with a friend and linger for a while and the touchscreen ordering makes it easy to go order more if you want, so it's a good place to just meet to hang out. Obviously I love that it's in the Eden Center because there is parking and you can come here and also knock out other errands/food enjoyment in one day. My only meaningful complaint is that they don't make their bathroom available to patrons so you have to go inside the mall to find the bathroom there. It's a decent bathroom, but a schlep. read more

The black sesame latte ($4 for a medium as of 2/12/2024) is pretty sweet, and I like how they fill it up to the top even if you ask for less ice. You can definitely taste the black sesame, but it's overall pretty okay in terms of quality/standard. It's a very minimal and clean place to do work. Service is fast. It's not a must try but if you're craving milk tea, this is a good place to go. read more

One Tea House is my favorite place to go to for delicious bubble tea and Taiwanese street food. They make the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The latest new drink is the super delicious Matcha/ Coconut drink. So tasty! Also, the customer service is excellent. I am coming back for the new delicious Matcha/Coconut drink for sure. read more

This is a cool shop with friendly staff, and it seems to have more snack options than a lot of the local bubble tea places! I stopped by to try a grapefruit tea but unfortunately that was no longer on the menu. I was pleased with the peach fruit tea that I got instead, and I was impressed that One Tea has a kiosk for remote ordering. What a good feature during the pandemic! I'll be back to try some of the snacks later this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing whether managers improve interiors or bring back that grapefruit tea in the hot summer weather. read more

One Tea House - Popcorn Chicken Rice Bowl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

My wife typically always like getting a tea from Eden center. She'll cycle between this place, tea dm, mr wish and vivi tea. The tea at this place is alright, though I'm not the best judge cause they'll are pretty mediocre to me. That being said the food though was surprisingly good and the price was very amenable. Got it for the first time not too long ago and will definitely be back. For less than $12 you can get a healthy portion of popcorn chicken along with a hearty helping of rice, veggies, and half egg. It's a great lunch and even dinner option. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items. read more

One Tea House - Popcorn Chicken Rice Bowl and Passion Fruit Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Small cafe located inside Eden Center that serves Taiwanese cafe food. Taro Milk Tea and Classic Milk Tea: Drinks tasted watered down and milky - I liked taro more. The bubbles had good chew! Popcorn Chicken (Pepper Salt): Super yummy! The chicken was well seasoned - garlic and basil flavors. Perfectly crispy outside and tender inside. I liked the spicy mayo a lot! Crispy Fish Fillet: Fish was perfectly salted with a soft inside and crispy outside. Rice Bowl: - Braised Pork: Super oily and not well marinated which caused it to taste really porky. - Tea Egg: Super dark in color but not that flavorful. I would definitely skip the rice bowl and just get the fried snacks. read more

I got the fresh taro milk tea with 30% sugar and 0% ice and it was amazing! I like how I don't have to get any toppings here because they have taro chunks in the drink which honestly is a topping. I love how the milk tea has amazing milk and tea ratio that balances one another out. I can really taste both at the same time as one does not overpower the other. I'm not big on sweets so I'll probably get the same drink next time with 0% sugar since the taro is already pretty sweet. Definitely the best boba place in the area. I would recommend! read more

Have to give a shoutout to this Taiwanese small eats/boba tea house since they were definitely the little engine that could at the annual Taste of Falls Church, easily being the busiest kiosk and doing their best to keep up with the incessantly long lines whether it be sending staff back to their storefront for replenishment of tea or popcorn chicken onigiri and managing impatient customers who made it to the front only to find that their top choices for food/drink ran out and by offering discounted alternatives with their tickets,. Customer service at their storefront in Eden Center is in point and they have a automated kiosk to place orders for added efficiency. Solid beverages, probably the best Taiwanese fried chicken in the region, and excellent rice plate combos with salt/pepper pork, chicken, and fish ;superior to rival joint ViVi on the other end of the mall. Beef noodle soup is probably the only weak offering with an excessively strong note of star anise in the broth and a noodle that lacks the hand pulled QQ factor. One Tea could be a subtle nod toward its Taiwanese heritage, but politics aside, a hardworking crew that never fails to crank out authentic and delicious eats. read more

This is a really solid boba tea shop in the Falls Church area! They have lots of different food and drink items, so you'll definitely find something to satisfy your taste. I got one of their matcha drinks last time and I thought it was really well balanced. The Matcha had that characteristic nice roasted and slightly bitter flavor that contrasts well with the milk and the sweetness of the drink. I also like that they don't load up their drinks with a ton of ice. This is a place I would come back to if I was in the area :) read more

Depending on what day you go, service can be a bit slow. The last time I went, I had to wait 20 mins for the popcorn chicken and a few drinks, but atleast it was fresh. I always get the Kumquat green tea here and it never misses! read more

I've been to One Tea House multiple times before and tried to like it a lot but every time I got different milk teas, they are typically watery tasting with not that much flavour and the boba is super chewy without much taste. I typically get 100% sugar too because I don't like requesting lower sugar at the cashier. LOL. Introvert things. The only milk tea I've actually liked though is the honey dew! The honey dew flavour is very accurate and tasty. It's refreshing for a milk tea! I think I need to start trying out their fruity teas if their milk teas aren't the best for me. Or in my mind, there are other boba places around Eden that has better milk teas. read more

I ordered, and I highly recommend getting, the large Mango Fresh Yogurt drink with extra Mango Jelly. The drink was incredibly refreshing in this hot weather. I really appreciated the fact that the Greek yogurt was not too tart or too sweet; it was just right! The combination of the crystal boba, the dried mango pieces, and the mango jelly all worked together perfectly and paired really well with the yogurt. I especially loved that the Mango Jellies were star-shaped! read more

I've been ordering food from one tea house for a LONG long time and for good reason -- they have quality food at good prices. Their popcorn chicken and the braised pork rice are probably some of the most authentic tasting in the area. Recently, I went to the actual store in Eden Center because I was craving boba. I was really excited to find out they have a yakult slushie that is honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a while. You really can't go wrong with the food and the drinks here! read more

Favorite boba and popcorn chicken place in the area! So good and always quick and good service :)

I was craving boba in the Eden Center and saw this place that I have never been to. Naturally, my friend and I decided to give it a try. My friend ordered the classic milk tea with regular boba while I got the strawberry cosmo with the sakura crystal boba. The classic milk tea tasted great with a good tea taste and the boba had a great texture. Overall, the drink was not too sweet and I would definitely get it again! My drink was a bit on the sweeter side and tasted a bit artificial in the beginning. If I were to get the same thing next time, I would adjust the sweetness. They also serve food here but we were too full to order any. I would definitely come back to try it! COVID review: this place was super covid safe with social distancing stickers, employees wearing face masks, and a plexiglass shield between the cashier and the customer. read more

Really enjoyed my quick stop to One Tea House. I ordered at the little kiosk screen which was very convenient. Their service was quick and excellent. They have a good variety of milk teas and Asian-style desserts but also liked the fact that they served Tawainese-style cafe dishes for a quick bit of something savory too. This is a great addition to the Eden Center dining options. read more

Fast, authentic Taiwanese eatery and drinks. I had peach lemonade tea with boba, 70% sugar and less ice, it's so refreshing! A mix of tartness and sweet but still able to taste the tea. Popcorn chicken is crispy and just the way I remember it should be, but I couldn't taste the difference between salt & pepper vs garlic, haha... I also had the deep fried buns with condensed milk, fun eat! read more

Got an hot Black sesame milk tea and the Golden fried tofu that I been craving for and couldn't find while I was in Flushing, NY. Service is pleasant, I was the first customer as the store just open. Ambiance is a usual tea/dessert feel. My black sesame milk tea was a mixture of powder. It's ok, can taste a little of the sesame but it's a bit too sweet. The FriedTofu advertised as the Taiwanese style tofu which is missing that stinky tofu smell and taste but is still good. As least can stop my craving for now hehe... read more

This place is similar to Vivis tea, but I think they change name and modify the menu. The milk tea and fruit tea is decent. The boba is on the smaller size than other boba place. I've been here a couple times and the boba texture is soft and chewy every time so far. I really like the honeydew milk tea. I've tried other fruit tea and it's okay for me, not a big fan. The snack here is a hit or miss. The fried basil popcorn chicken is really good. It is crispy outside and moist and seasoned inside. The price on the chicken popcorn is super affordable! I tried the curry fish ball and it was not good. Stay away from that and save your money on some ripe off fish ball. The fish ball had too much added powder and it was so bad. The sauce/soup was bad too. They added some yam or potato to make it like there was a lot even though it was only a couple of fish ball. Make sure you get your card stamp when you go here for Boba tea (6 stamps = 1 free drink). Overall, decent boba tea and popcorn chicken and the service is really good. read more

Only stopped in for a drink after some shopping. Got a chocolate bubble tea and it was spot on. One thing that was a little unique is I felt the boba were a little softer than most.

Edit: Ordered the Oreo Fresh Milk tea by accident :( which would explain the taste. Just a heads up with you want to get an Oreo drink, make sure you double check your order. and are getting the right one. Would like to come back and try the actual Milk Tea one day! Came here late on a Saturday night after going to Firepan. This place seemed to be one of the few that was open late, so that's a plus if you're looking for some late night boba. I ordered an Oreo Milk Tea, and it was ok. The tea itself didn't have a ton of flavor, so may not come back here in the future with all the other options, but perhaps after another late night dinner in the Eden Center I'll try something besides their Oreo Milk Tea. read more
