Love getting their poke bowls and that it's free unlimited toppings which also include avocado and egg. Their tofu bowl is not just plain tofu like a lot of places with veggie options. Sauces are also really tasty here. Something to keep in mind is their prices did go up by a few dollars but it's still cheaper than a lot of poke places. I think they have new people working too now so business was a bit more hectic than usual last time I went. I would still say that price wise their pretty worth it and the boba is also pretty good too. My favorite is their winter melon and their pineapple tea . The winter melon comes with light sweetness by default and it's refreshing read more

I came here with a coworker after work and it really hit the spot because we wanted boba and food. The inside of the shop was cute. I thought the service was good because the workers were nice and we got our order relatively fast. I got their strawberry infruitea and my coworker got the taro milk tea. We both enjoyed our drinks and it was great because it was quite hot outside. We also ordered ramen. I thought the noodles were nicely done but the broth was a little too salty. The pork was also kind of tough but the egg was good. Overall I would come back and try their other flavor teas. read more

Looking deeply into your tea, you see that you are drinking fragrant plants that are the gift of Mother Earth. You see the labor of the tea pickers; you see the luscious tea fields and plantations in Sri Lanka, China and Vietnam. You know that you are drinking a cloud; you are drinking the rain. The tea contains the whole universe. - Thich Nhat Hanh Young cousins had o'er raved to us about this new business. Not knowing what Bubble Tea is, off we went with those cousins to give it a try out. We had Take-Out of Spicy Tonkotsu, Miso, Spicy Miso, Salad Bowl, Lemon Yogurt, Almond Milk Tea, Thai Coffee, and Chocolate Smoothie. No complaints I liked the décor and atmosphere Has a cool ordering system The customer service and food was adequate Prices were average Place was clean Their cool logo is a variation of the Ying Yang symbol. I assume the business name came from Tai Chi which is an ancient cool Chinese discipline of meditative movements practiced as a system of exercises, that I've done though the VA. Nothing negative about the business --I decided though that I'll pass on future Bubble Teas aka Boba drinks, as forgive me, but they're just not my cup-a-tea. Boba aka Tapioca Starch, also known as tapioca flour, is a fine, white powder made from the starchy pulp of the cassava root, a tuber vegetable native to South America. After soaking, kneading and straining the veggie, producers allow the pulp to dry, which creates its grainy texture. Because they're dehydrated, the flakes, sticks and pearls must be soaked or boiled before consumption. They become leathery, swollen and translucent. Tapioca starch has a slightly sweet taste compared to other flours, making it a good flour for dessert breads and pastries, as well as in Boba Tea aka Bubble Tea. Boba is the tapioca pearls aka boba balls (the squishy topping found in a Bubble Tea). Tapioca starch contains no fat or cholesterol and is very low in sodium. One serving contains 20mg of calcium and 1.6mg of iron. Tapioca is almost pure starch, so it's almost entirely made up of carbohydrates. It contains only minor amounts of protein, fat and fiber. It contains minor amounts of other nutrients. Most of them amount to less than 0.1% of the recommended daily amount in one serving. One cup of dry tapioca pearls contains 544 calories. Due to its lack of protein and nutrients, tapioca is nutritionally inferior to most grains and flours. Tapioca Starch is a source of "empty" calories, since it provides almost no essential nutrients. Tapioca Starch has a low content of natural resistant starch due to its extensive processing. Many South American dishes incorporate Tapioca Starch to create a light and crispy pastry and bread dough; for example, pão de queijo is a Brazilian puffy cheese bread that uses Tapioca Starch as a base. This gluten-free flour also has a strong thickening power, making it a good agent for thickening puddings, sauces, soups, and stews. What this business did in stark contrast to many businesses I've frequented lately: What they gave us to go is what what we had ordered. We learned a long time ago to always check take-out from any business before we leave to confirm that what we had ordered is what we got. Was disabled-friendly. No automatic gratuity was added to our bill. We just don't pay any added automatic gratuity or merchant fees as we pay only for what we had bargained for upfront and received. No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business. FTC forbids the use of fake testimonials as are illegal under Section 5 of the FTC Act 15 USC 45 as they are using unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. No one here hassled us about my Service Dog or the Veterans' accouterments I adorn her with lavishly. I don't think anyone even noticed my Service Dog entering or leaving. The owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. Has a Student Discount. I'll be back. My favorite Thai Tea or Thai Coffee is: 2 tablespoons loose-leaf black tea or filtered freshly ground coffee beans 1 pod star anise 2 pods cardamom 1/2 cinnamon stick 1/8 vanilla bean Tamarind powder, to taste 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 1 cup (eight-ounces) boiling water 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon powered non-fat milk 2 teaspoons 1% milk read more

I get the Spicy Miso Ramen with Pork for $14.99 and their mango milk tea w boba. For the price I was expecting better quality ramen, it's been multiple times now that the pork is chewy and the eggs are overcooked/ greenish. The boba is okay not much flavor. Haven't tried much else from their menu. The service is lacking, the people at the cash register are not very attentive and it seems as though they are understaffed. Decent seating, nice decorations inside. read more

Went here for boba drink n food after a lip filler appointment in Sacramento. There boba tasted like water down milk no flavor I asked for it to be 100% sweetened it wasn't at all so I asked to sweeten it three times each time it tasted exactly the same. As for the food for someone who is new to this kind of food it was very hard to read the menu. They charge you a lot of money for add ons. Like corn isn't included in ramen it's a whole $1 for a splash of it. So the ramen ends up being almost $20 bucks. Plus beef is extra money too but all other proteins are not. Feels like you get sucked into spending more money then It's worth because you want a complete soup. Also this is the worst part When I sat to eat this guy who was sitting with the employees was there looking at me eating and talking to the employees and laughing really loud (not many ppl in the place) Very uncomfortable atmosphere and incredibly unprofessional I feel like I was being made fun of I had to leave now I have soup to eat in my car that cost $20 bucks Also found a piece of plastic in my ramen! I usually don't write reviews but I felt super disrespected by this place! read more

Nice boba place. The Zhang Zhang special with brown sugar is delicious. They have fast service and the place is clean and modern.

Large $5.50 +0.50 topping came out to $6.53, which is standard pricing now a days maybe a liiiittle more expensive. I went in the evening on their grand opening and there were only a few ppl in line and some eating. The drink came out fairly quick and all the staff was friendly. I got a jasmine milk tea, but it gave more of a matcha milk tea flavor which was still good but I wouldnt call it a jasmine. It was even a bright green color as matcha would be, so either that or they add dye to it? However when I went to shake it up in the car, a lot of it spilled out due to the lid not being sealed all the way I will have to try the food as well next time. read more

We came during grand opening and ordered 3 drinks to try. The service was average nothing really stood out. Parking was cramped and it was pouring rain outside so plan accordingly when you come! We ordered two jasmine teas and one passion fruit tea. We could hardly taste the jasmine in our teas and it was powdery green? There was a bitter after taste like it had too much tanin but really strong milky taste. The passion fruit tea was really sweet and strong in flavor but once again the taste of tea was lacking. I would give this place another shot in a few months to a year just because grand openings and first days are always rough on a business. Perhaps their food is worth a try? read more

So excited to have a boba and poke place in East Sac! This is the only place I know of close by that sells sushi burritos and my two protein burrito was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I love that you can get as many toppings as you want whereas other places charge or limit toppings. The service was quick and friendly. The panda bear decorations were super cute too! I really enjoyed my Rose Peach Milk Tea with herbal jelly toppings. There are only a few fresh fruit or fresh milk tea options on the tea menu, and they said most of the drinks are syrup or powder based. Haven't tried those yet but it's too bad they're not making them from scratch. To be determined how they taste! They also sell ramen and rice bowls. Looking forward to going again soon! read more

I stopped here because I wanted bubble tea and poke and I'm writing this review as I'm waiting for my order to be ready... the customer service is IMMACULATE! That alone is enough for me to come back! The store is super clean and organized; the vibes are so refreshing! the food area is very clean and organized as well! read more

I ordered a Poké bowl with two proteins. The quality of the Poké bowl was great, but there was only about five pieces of cubed fish. I ordered spicy Ahi and spicy salmon. I called them and they took my name and told me they would make me a new bowl. So about five days later I go back to get a new bowl. Unfortunately it had the same amount of fish as in the original bowl. This place is chintzy, and I will never return. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because they made good but failed in the end. Too bad!! So sad!! read more

Their drink was really good. Lots of options to choose from. They also sell ramen and poke bowls. Will have to try them next time! read more

I ordered a burrito and a ramen soup. Overall, the taste is amazing. The spicy mayo a bit spicier than im used to but all the ingredients together were delicious. The only concern i have and my biggest issue, if i order a burrito i would like for it to be a burrito and not a taco. I had to eat it like a taco and eat the rest like a rice bowl. Not sure if we will ever order from here again. read more

Their menu was super misleading, more of just the Zang Zang Special part, 90% of the drink is the milk of your choosing with a purée that is chunky and spread through the inside of the cup. Would not recommend the Zang Zang drinks. However, I will be back to give their food and other boba drinks a try. read more

I just came in for a pau hana bubble tea. They have full-on meals here which is unusual for boba places, but I didn't try any. I got a Thai tea, which I needed to shake before drinking (you could see the separate layers). My friend got the kumquat tea with lychee boba. Both were decent. They came out quick. I was lucky with parking though the lot was really full. read more

Matcha milk tea was good. Next time, I'd ask to cut the sugar in half, if that's a possibility. 7/10 Ramen was definitely a miss. Tonkotsu 5/10 read more

I've had a lot of milk tea and boba in my day and never have I tasted a bad taro milkshake. Sometimes it's a little too sweet or milky, but always drinkable. This was first for me. The first sip of the taro milkshake I tasted here was so gross that I physically gagged. I don't think they clean their ice machine here at all. Couldn't have more than two sips of my drink because it tasted so bad. Won't be returning. read more

Lots to choose from I had a poke bowl that was very generous and my husband had ramen. Both good quality and staff friendly.

Taichi is the boba shop I will take an indecisive Capricorn to. There are so many options for food AND drinks at this boba shop - if I were to present this store to the United Nations, every representative would have something they'd enjoy. You can order basic boring fries on Tuesday and Michelin level poke on Thursday. The service has never been an issue for me and I live for the giant boba at the entrance. It's giving "I pledge allegiance to this big boba cup of Taichi Boba Shop" read more

The service is very good and the food is very good. This is my favorite place. Ramen Noodles is perfect with milk tea, which is very good. read more

A nice place. Enjoyed the Thai Iced Tea. I ordered Chicken Karaage, but my receipt said something else, leading to some confusion, but I did get what I ordered. Chicken Karaage varies wildly from restaurant to restaurant, which I find very strange. The popcorn chicken was very good. read more

The poke bowl is mostly rice and not much topping. I would say half a scoop of ahi and a lot of mango and the avocado was hard and not ripe.

me personally i am a matcha lover and i absolutely loved their matcha. i got the matcha zang zang and it was AMAZING. i'd totally recommend for matcha lovers! read more

Dropped by this boba place as I was grabbing food from one of the other nearby places, and it was a huge disappointment. I waited until I left the premises to take a sip out of my drink and honestly wish I took a sip while I was still in the store. Ordered a Zang Zang Special Taro with Almond Milk and it just tasted like water with no flavor or even a hint of almond milk. Even shook and try to mix it around and still tasted like water. read more

Quality is just too inconsistent. My kid and I each got an Okinawa milk tea and sushi burrito. Their tea was fine, mine tasted like milk. My burrito was okay, theirs tasted like something was on the verge of spoiling. And since nobody needs food poisoning going into the weekend, we tossed it to be safe. When the food and drinks are good, we really enjoy Taichi. But tonight was a waste of money. read more

Spicy tonkotsu ramen-overcooked ramen (I prefer close to al dente than bloated noodles. The $2 egg addition is for half an egg-not worth it. The sign needs to change to $2 for a half egg addition. The eggs were more cooked than over easy. Broth/bamboo/meat was good! read more

I got the poke bowl and it was worth the price since the portion size is larger than other places. You have to fill out a paper slip to customize your poke bowl or sushi burrito. I also got the Peach Rose Milk tea, which was yummy and caffeine-free. It is close to my work place too, which is a plus. I recommend other people to try this place. I haven't tried their ramen or sushi burrito yet, but they look good. read more

My honest take on the poke: it was okay, I didn't get a lot of fish, the avocado was brown, the girl working at the front was rude, kinda pricey, and it kinda my stomach feel funny. I won't be going back. read more

I've been here about 4 times and each time it's so good!! The service is always great and their black tea is always the best on a hot day. I definitely would recommend read more

Very slow to make one drink! Waited over 25 minutes. They only had one person making food and drinks

I contemplated putting a stop payment with my bank because what I got was not Boba. How do you mess up a Thai tea boba drink? It tasted like questionable milk. No tea flavor. We also got another drink that was 12 oz of cow milk with a dusting of taro and some drips of syrup that clung to the glass but did nothing to the milk. So gross and disappointing. read more

We're addicted to this place! It's somewhat embarrassing how often we come here. At least 3 times a week. Every drink I have tried thus far, hasn't disappointed. Their sushi burritos and poke bowls are so good and nicely loaded. read more

could've been that i got soy milk with this brown sugar latte but it was it. boba had literally no flavor to them but at least it was chewy. the food on the other hand looked decent. read more

The food and drinks are so good! The food portions are pretty good sized. However it is a little pricey

I'm a regular here for the poke bowls! Prefer the bowls to the burritos bc I feel like you get more bang for your buck with a bowl. Service can be sloooowwww (hence the 4 stars), but friendly! Boba choices are limited, but decent flavor! Small parking lot, can be crowded. read more

I was in love with their sushi burritos!! I felt like the woman serving me wasn't too happy that day but it disappointed me to not seeing her be more grateful for a quiet generous tip. Hope she felt better afterwards regardless!! I like the "Vibey" feel the restaurant has as well! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Beef rice box , but I added extra eggs!! - Poke Near Me - Sacramento, California

This shop is cute and clean as they just opened last month. I ordered a poke bowl and my boyfriend ordered the Salmonoply. Our food had mainly the toppings (90%) and the fish were all covered on the bottom that had about 10%. We also ordered a large Jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly, which tasted pretty good. I wish the poke was less on the toppings and more on the fish instead like every place I've gone to. I'll give it another try since they just opened for a month, and the flavors were pretty good too. read more
