The boba they have also have an ample of choices, they however uses powder plus the tea in their milktea so just keep that in mind, but definitely overall would recommend for my boba fix. The location does have nice parking lot. The staff is very hospitable and was super nice to give suggestions of what are best selling.

The portions are huge (seriously, you're not leaving hungry), and the price feels like a steal for what you get. The chicken is perfectly grilled--juicy on the inside with that slight char on the outside--and the sauce hits that ideal balance of sweet and savory without being overpowering. The rice is fluffy, the salad is crisp, and everything just works together. You can tell they don't cut corners. And on top of all that, the service is quick and friendly, which makes it an easy go-to whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or a casual dinner. If you're anywhere nearby and craving teriyaki, don't overthink it--this place is a gem.

Huge plaza area so there's ample parking. Fatbee Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was decent. Chewy but not particularly flavorful, could be marinated longer. Tea was a classic house black tea with creamer.

Both the taro and ube nuttiness were shining and the coldness was soothing. Honestly such a refreshing and addicting drink, I snagged another one for the trip home. Highly recommend.

AMBIANCE 5/5 Very limited seatings but if you were lucky like me, you will enjoy sipping tea here. Bright, clean and very lively esp on weekends (meaning long line! lol). DRINKS 5/5 The first time I had the "Osmanthus Mango" (did not quite remember the name) and the 2nd time "Bee My Plum". Both drinks were excellent. Funnily, this ChiCha and a couple of other places would be something I miss in Bellevue.

Since Chicha San Chen opened its Bellevue Square location, I have stopped by a couple times. While…read morethey serve some of the best boba, the tea flavor tastes a bit diluted compared to what I noted in my previous review. Because they brew each cup on order, I expected the tea to be more apparent, but in every drink I've tried it takes a backseat to other flavors. + DONG DING OOLONG TEA LATTE: I opted for light sugar and light ice. Despite being one of the most popular drinks, the tea flavor was weak and the cream dominated. It had a smooth consistency with subtle caramel notes, so it still tasted good, but I would have loved for the tea to shine more. At least the $1 addition of boba is pretty generous and I had enough for every sip! It was perfectly cooked with that nice chewy bounce. Since the boba itself is sweetened, going to 0% sweetness would probably be just sweet enough for me. + OSMANTHUS TEA w/ PASSIONFRUIT: Again, this leaned heavily toward the passionfruit rather than delivering a distinct tea flavor. (Side note: At the register, I received a sample of the High Mountain Pouchong Tea with Mango. This was sweet, super fruity and reminded me of mango nectar. It's really delicious, but only had a tiny hint of green tea.) + OSMANTHUS OOLONG HONEY TEA: I selected light sugar and light ice without toppings, hoping to taste the pure tea. I picked up the floral notes of the Osmanthus and the tea flavor came through a wee bit more than the other drinks, though still wasn't the dominant flavor. The amount of honey was on the verge of being too sweet, but the drink overall was refreshing and crisp. The new location in Bellevue Square is very clean with a few tables for two along the wall. It is consistently busy, so just be prepared for a wait. However, there are multiple employees preparing the drinks, so while the line appears long, they churn out orders pretty quickly without getting flustered. It's impressive! Given the steep pricing for the cup size and the weak tea flavor, Chicha San Chen wouldn't be my go-to spot considering all the other boba tea options in Bellevue.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #121…read more On my previous visit to Tealogy over a year ago, I received a drink that was decent enough to to satisfy my boba cravings, but with some definite shortcomings. During that visit, I saw some rarer varieties of milk teas on the menu, which intrigued me enough to revisit over a recent weekend. Tealogy has a single kiosk for convenience, which I used to place my order. I do want to say Tealogy's interior doesn't seem to be the most clean. On my visit, there was a clear musty smell throughout and the floors were very sticky. Spring Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($7.50) - This is clearly a high mountain oolong given the flowery oolong fragrance. It's quite a strong flavor, although muted a tiny bit by a somewhat excessive amount of liquid non dairy creamer added. The sweetness level is also a bit too high, most likely because of the sugar soak of the boba. Still, the drink is quite pleasing to sip on. The boba unfortunately isn't great. The pearls are far too firm. They are inconsistent in size with most being somewhat lumpy shrunken balls, like they weren't given enough time to expand in boiling water. While still a little bouncy, it's clear that these have a lot of room to grow. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 TieGuanYin Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($7.75) - This one tastes somewhat vegetal and malty with a hint of scorched leaves. It's quite a bit weaker than the high mountain with most of the tea flavor unfortunately drowned out by the creamer. It's definitely a weaker drink than the Spring Milk Tea. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Tealogy remains a 4. They serve some good quality tea and some unique varieties not commonly found at other boba shops. Unfortunately their boba is mediocre. I really wish they had the da hong pao (Wuyi red robe) on weekends! Why only Tuesday-Thursday? Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

There are five different levels of roasts (light, medium light, medium, medium-heavy, and heavy) of the same base Taiwanese Lishan oolong tea to showcase how a master roaster can draw out different flavors by varying the heat applied to the leaves. Each person selects their roast level, and watches as 3 grams of tea leaves is combined with 95 degree water for a 6 minute brew time. There is a small presentation associated with the tasting, so the total experience takes about half an hour. Best of all, it's free! Note that this tea is different from the tea used in their drinks. I got the bubble milk tea with cream, perfect sweet and less ice. The boba is perfectly chewy and, the cream gives the drink a thicker, more velvety mouthfeel. The sweetness and cream perfectly balance the tea. Yum!

Unlike the other stalls, this one has a completely separate order counter and seems to be an independent business. Ordering is easy and the drinks come out quickly. Sweetness and ice adjustments are not displayed on the menu, but the bobarista is happy to take any requests into account. OG Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($7.70) - The milk tea is not too sweet and is mixed well with no grittiness. Flavor-wise, it's a kind of a generic black tea. Nothing special or outstanding but also no off flavors. The boba is pretty similar in quality - a bit on the firm side, very smooth pearls, but very inconsistent in size. They aren't soaked very long in whatever sugar solution they use since there isn't much sweetness on the exterior and the main taste comes from the molasses mixed in with the tapioca starch. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 While I wouldn't make any special trips to get the drinks at Boba Buddies, it's good enough to get again anytime I happen to visit and eat at Pop Up Kitchen. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms in the Peter's Kitchen side of the building.
