We came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was mostly college students, since it is located right across the street from the UGA campus. There was no line, but we took our time filling out the sheets they have along the long counter when you walk in. You can choose a bowl, burrito, or salad, and I chose the bowl after much debate between that and a burrito. I'm glad I chose that because with all of the good toppings choices they had, the ones I chose would not have fit well in a burrito. I also think you get more when you choose the bowl. You can get up to 3 proteins (with tiered pricing) and I loved that avocado was not extra. We waited about 5 minutes after order until getting our food and ate there at a table in the corner. The place was clean and the meal was fresh, can't beat that! read more

I ate here for the first time yesterday. I got a 2 protein poke bowl with spicy tuna & salmon & an original milk tea with tapioca pearls. I spent about $20 not including tip. The place itself is really cute & well taken care of. They had nice decor & some background music on. There's tons of seating & free wifi so it would be a great study or meeting spot. 5/5. First, the boba drink was delicious. I got a small, which definitely was small but still a decent size. I tend to drink fast so next time I'll probably get a larger size. 3/5. Second, the poke bowl was a nice size & good quality. The reason I'm not rating it super high is because personally, I'm not a huge fan of when sushi fish or any kind of dish tastes fishy & honestly not a huge fan of poker overall but I wanted a lighter dish this visit. The spice was lacking in the salmon & tuna & they both tasted a little fishy/had odd textures plus a concerning bright color which I dislike. However, everything was fresh & nice portions, but I would definitely prefer more sauce in the cups & probably a different choice of proteins. I also hate how the leftovers didn't keep. Everything wilted in the fridge & I had to throw away the majority of the bowl which was a waste of money. Next time, I will probably get something else. If you are a big fan of poke, I think you would enjoy their bowls because they are fresh & they allow you to pick a ton of toppings included in the price. But if you're like me & have a love hate relationship with them, I'd definitely get something else. The menu & ambiance were great & the staff was super nice. Definitely a place worth trying out! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. Got taichi rice box with chicken - it's just a ton of rice with minimal veggies. Nice teriyaki-like sauce, though. Other person got the udon ramen with katsu. Broth had an overpowering taste of seaweed, and the katsu was quite poor quality pork - lots of fat. Again, would suggest you find food elsewhere. read more

Cute place with a lot of food options along with the bubble teas. Little pricey but we enjoyed the food and drinks. Not a fan of the boba so you can get without as well read more

The food was good especially for Athens! I got a rice bowl with salmon. There are many options for toppings and for the price of one protein ($11.49) I think it's a pretty good deal. It's a healthier option than what's offered in this area and it was filling. I ordered a small fruit tea (strawberry green tea) with tapioca balls and it was good. There isn't actual fruit in the drink though. The customer service was great the workers are so sweet and patient. But what really caught my attention was the cute ass decorations! Pandas everywhere, forest green and gold furniture, and plenty of seating. It's a cute place for sure! read more

Super cute new boba place in Athens! I got a large matcha milk tea with boba and it tasted just like the boba back at home. I was super relieved to actually have good boba in Athens. The Thai tea tasted like it came straight out of a Thai restaurant and was very tasty. The price was typical, not super expensive and they give a good amount. I did get less sugar and ice in my drink and it tasted perfect (I'm a huge sweet tooth). The decorations and vibe reminded me of boba spots back on Pleasant Hill. The workers are really friendly and give great advice on drinks! The food also looked super fresh and I will definitely be trying some next time! Totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a good bite to eat and some yummy boba! read more

Finally a boba tea spot in Athens, Georgia. After being disappointed with the boba te quality at a few other spots I was pleased when this one open.

I look forward to trying the entire menu! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Spicy tankatsu beef and pork ramen - Bubble Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

This review is only based on the food, which I know is dumb, considering this is a boba place. But hey.. if they sell food then it's fair game to review too. Ordered a pork tonkatsu ramen and a salmon sashimi "sushirrito"/roll thing. - The ramen is overpriced packaged ramen you can find at H-Mart. There's nothing homemade about it except maybe the chashu. - The sushi roll was very soggy and skimpy on the sashimi. It was mostly soggy, overly sweet ponzu sauced rice.. wrap fell apart upon opening it. Maybe the drinks are better, but I'm not rushing to go back. read more

The ramen was super amazing，I ordered miso with tofu，beef，bamboo shoots, strongly suggested, and I can't wait to come back and try their other ramen flavors. read more

Taichi makes great Thai iced tea and excellent boba (tapioca pearls). They have dairy free milk, too. Ordering food involves filling out a little paper form. You can get rice bowls or "sushiritos" with tons of different proteins, veggies, sauces, and other toppings. The green leather chairs and blonde wood makes great decor. It can get a bit crowded when people are there studying. read more

Atmosphere and staff are great, and it's super cute. The presentation of the food is very nice, and it's a relaxed environment. Though they don't give you nearly the quantity or quality compared to Bubble Cafe. They're drinks are more varied though if you specifically want boba or zany sang drink options. I got the tofu poke bowl and the sweet potato sang sang drink that I made dairy free. Both were good! read more

100000% recommend. Personally, one of the best Asian restaurants in Athens. They have an amazingly wide variety of drinks, all of which are very good. The poke tastes super fresh and flavorful, and the ramen is very good. They did add cilantro to my order, although I had specifically marked on the order sheet to not add cilantro. Nevertheless, still a very nice place for lunch and dinner. read more

This place is outstanding and conveniently located steps away from UGAs campus. My son had the Bubble Tea and I had a strawberry Milk Crush with regular Bubble. They allow you to adjust the sugar content which was great for me as I am not a fan of super sweet drinks. Both were very well done and exactly what we wanted. We both had three protein sushi bowls (his with rice base and mine with salad base). We both commented that they were very tasty and filling. I highly recommend this place for high quality food in the heart of downtown Athens. Go Dawgs! read more

Went with a few friends to try out this shop because it was newly opened. We were going to get bubble tea but one of them suggested that we try the zang zang milk tea. Unfortunately, that was a bad decision. It looks good in photos, but in reality, it is just paste on the side of the cup with plain milk poured it. It was not good, and I had to take it home to blend the contents in order to miss it. The poke was a little sad, with just one scoop of rice and not much meat. There are much better poke places in Athens. However, those who got bubble tea said it was pretty good, so I gave this review an extra star. In summary, the bubble tea is pretty good, and everything else we tried was pretty bad. read more

Best place for poke and sushi burritos in Athens. Great quality and quantity. Prices are better then Poke Bar and they are clean and kind. Ps they also have a rewards program with the app. Worth the walk from the parking down the street. read more

Love love love Taichi. It has my favorite boba in Athens. I also adore the food. It offers bowls or rolls that you can fully customize with so many options. You don't even have to talk to a person just fill out your order on the paper and give it to the employee. The aesthetics are great- such a vibe. Workers are always kind and service is SO FAST. They recycle and use compostable containers for food. Even if you dine in you get a to go box so you don't have to awkwardly ask for a box. Delicious fresh ingredients. Calming atmosphere. They even offer a rewards system if you sign up the more you spend you can buy little stuffed animals with your points. Adorable. Great place to study/ socialize/ grab a quick bite/ anything really. If you love poke bowls THIS IS IT! read more

Love the sushi burrito and mango green tea with lychee jelly. Staff is also super helpful and kind

Great place to get boba and ramen. It was very cute inside and the employees were friendly. I hope to go back again soon.
