Ordered a large double coconut with mango pearls and Oreo foam (friend's order) and a large oolong milk tea with 30% sweetness and boba (my order). Drinks out in four minutes or so and I was the only one there. The large Oolong tea was okay. Decent tea flavor (3/5). Boba was a little too stiff for my liking (2.5/5). Friend thought the double coconut was okay. The Oreo foam is actually just Oreo crumbles on top of foam, I think, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, happy that there are finally some boba options in the Heights but it's an average spot that doesn't stand out from other independent boba spots.

They used to make good thai tea but recently the proportions have been off where it tastes too milky, not sure if they changed the menu or if it's the baristas. As for food options, they have kimbap and some desserts that they make in store. I've never tried them. I sometimes buy their instant ramen options that they make for you and give radish on the side. Everything is a little pricey but it's worth the convenience. Service is straightforward and usually quick. It's a nice area to study with wifi and bathrooms available for customers. There are outlets near tables along the walls. Parking is shared with the other places in the strip so it's limited, but I usually find a spot.

The first thing I noticed was the FIFA World Cup flavors, and I was instantly drawn to Saudi…read moreArabia. My BF realized this place was in the Galleria Conservatory and mentioned Seoulside Wings & Rice as a great place for Korean wings, so I had to try the BOGO deal. That's a separate review though. Saudi Arabia (25%?) - Flavors are rose, date, and vanilla jasmine milk tea. Honestly, I love all those things, so what could go wrong? I think the worker messed up my 25% sweetness request because I saw my label with a "50% sweet, 25% sweet" request, and the overall drink was very sugary--which made me a bit sad. I have no idea what that meant, if not 75% sweet. My BF's drink was only 25% and was significantly less sweet than mine. My BF went back to inquire what the label meant. Basically, 50% was the lowest sweetness the FIFA drinks could go, so that's not too bad. I wish I had been told this when I asked to lower the sweetness. I also noticed a grittiness settling at the bottom of the drink. I believe it came from either the rose or the dates, and it kept getting caught in my straw. I didn't mind it personally, but it did come across as an odd quality of the drink. Overall, the drink wasn't aggressively impressive. I didn't taste all the flavors they mentioned; instead, I strongly tasted the rose above all else. The poster also showed the drink as purple, but mine looked more pink. Not the best drink nor the worst drink I've had. Wintermelon Milk Tea (25%) - The flavor was a bit lackluster. It tasted more like milk than wintermelon. Additionally, the boba was soft but flavorless. Pretty disappointed. Wasn't crazy impressed with this place after seeing how good the Google reviews were. I think there are other places I'd rather go, but it wasn't terrible (and the prices were pretty affordable). Not one of my top picks, but a good grab if you're already in the area, eating at the surrounding spots, and just need a drink. We saw that they had moved into this location, and I think the quality may have dropped since then.

This location is small and there is one or two tables on one end, along with a stack of boxes that would look better tucked away somewhere else.

I'm not in Chinatown much nowadays, but if I'm craving a bubble waffle, I would be back.

As a smoothie enjoyer, this is one of my favorite places to stop by for drinks after a meal. Their…read morestrawberry shortcake smoothie is an absolute treat, almost too decadent to enjoy too often! The smoothies and their specialty lemon themed drinks are my go-to, fitting their namesake. Their regular Boba teas seem pretty par for the course among the many tea shops around though. I must say though, their service at this shop has been wildly inconsistent. Most of the time you get those "I'm just here to do my job" types, but I've had rude and uncaring cashiers as well as extraordinarily friendly ones as well.

I had a matcha boba tea, it tasted good but the matcha flavor was too subtle. If you like matcha you know when they didn't put enough matcha in the drink. That being said, I liked how I could choose the sugar level. They had a cute little swing inside and liked the atmosphere. They have many table games too, although when we tried two of them, they either were missing parts of had broken parts and we could not play.

I'm a big fan of CHICHA San Chen, and I've had the chance to visit locations in Southern California…read moreas well as the headquarters in Taiwan, so I was really excited to try the Houston location. I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

One nice addition that I saw was a Photo Booth and tea tasting station! You don't have to worry about parking as it's located in a strip mall so there's quite a bit of spaces. Overall I enjoyed my time and would like to try other tea options here.
