ran by a sweet, hardworking family in a prime location near Farragut west & DuPont circle, teashi is one of my go-to's for lunch and dinner carry-out. they have boba, bento boxes, and rice/noodle bowls. my go-to is the spicy tofu noodle bowl without egg (they are accommodating for vegetarians and vegans). the tofu has INCREDIBLE flavor and the bowl is garnished with pickled mustard greens and fresh crunchy lettuce. they also offer oat milk and almond milk substitutes for the milk tea options. my favorite boba is the thai tea highly recommend! read more

There are some chain bubble tea places making their way into the District, but to find a place that really feels Chinese is notoriously hard in this town. This is a small restaurant with no apparent restroom that is basically a pickup window with a couple of seats indoors and outdoors, so plan accordingly. However, for someone in need of this service, they offer some good stuff. A menu special allowed me to get spring rolls and tea for a discount rate. The spring rolls were basic but good, and the tea (this one was just tea, no boba) delivered on flavor. Their food menu is basically protein over noodles, rice or salad. Ordering their spicy tofu and checking the box for maximum spiciness is no joke, as some crushed pepper on top of a robust red sauce showed me. And to top it off, this was a place where I could give a "Xiexie" and get a "bukeqi" in response (roughly translating to "thank you so much" and "you're too kind"). There's not a lot more variety here, but there have been many times when I wanted a place like this in the District and could not find one. read more

This is such a cute and warm space! The staff member who greeted me was very polite and welcoming. I got the matcha green tea with almond milk and it comes with boba. They also have a boba tea and spring roll special going on. I just got the tea because of food intolerances. The matcha was great. Not too sweet which was great. I think I'm used to sweeter tapioca pearls but it was good. Nice firmness, not mushy. They got my order out in under 10 minutes. read more

This place will always be my favorite lunch spot! You can tell that the owners care about their customers and their hospitality alone will make you back. When you come inside, it's small, but it feels like a home. My favorite dish is the spicy beef ramen soup, and I like it mild. read more

Very quick and welcoming experience from the owner of the restaurant. It's a small shop with a limited menu of boba tea, pan fried noodles, ramen, and dim sum snacks. I got the five spice beef noodle bow that came with an egg and mustard greens. So saucy! Love it. I'm not sure which region of china it comes from, but I love the flavours from the five spice and the chili. The beef could be more tender and I'd like it be a dash less salty, but it's a nice treat once in a while. I would still reorder. Classic boba tea-- I got the brown sugar with regular milk. Like I said-- classic. You can taste the tea and it's not too sweet. The restaurant is super tiny-- maybe 6 seats and a table outside. It's clean but it's more a quick spot to drink boba or eat quickly. It's easier to do takeout but I would definitely return! read more

I was craving a Thai iced tea! The problem is that most restaurants do not have dairy free options. We found this place and I ordered my dairy free Thai iced tea! It had a few pieces of ice in it but the ice melted very quickly. It was okay. The flavor was decent, but not strong enough for me to want to go back. The lady behind the counter was very nice. read more

We were in the area and would like a quick bite but tasty that doesn't break the bank.. haha. Decided to try Teashi Cafe and opted in for one of the Today's Special. Def did not disappoint, very warming and friendly service, and our food came out in prob less than 10 mins, piping hot! Ordered Pork rice bowl special that comes with Mango Passion Fruit Tea for $12.95 +tax. Great portion and actually took half of it home. There are about 2 round tables inside and a couple more of bar seating against the wall but also with 2 outdoor tables. Overall great price for taste, amount and service for quick bite in the area. read more

Cosy little café run by a Chinese uncle who's very friendly. I passed by this spot once and saved it on Google maps and I have been meaning to head back to check it out. The lurou rice tastes a bit more like ground pork rice but the rest of the items are decent. If I stay/work in the area, I'd love to visit more often to check out other items on the menu. read more

I walk by this place on my way to work, and finally had time to stop in today for lunch. I ordered online and it was ready in under 10 minutes and ready to go when I got there. The food itself was delicious--I got the spicy chicken noodle bowl and the coffee latte bubble tea. The spicy level really wasn't that hot, but it was flavorful and filling. The bubble tea also hit the spot! Check out their specials as they do actually have some good deals. There is seating inside if you don't want to do take out. read more

I go here twice a week - 5 spice beef noodle bowl and many of the appetizer dishes are great. Reasonable priced and very flavorful. Would recommend if you want something prepared quick but also delicious! read more

They started in the GWU food court... and now they have a storefront! I had been to the university location twice and enjoyed the food. I was surprised recently to see they had moved a little off campus into a small spot. Some of the menu is the same, but the two items I got from them in the past weren't there. Their food focuses on rice and noodles bowls, soup, snacks, and drinks. I had the Five Spicy Beef Noodle Bowl. They ask for your preferred spice level and I went the highest they had. The presentation looked great with the toppings piled on top of the noodles. There was enough beef sauce to cover the whole portion of noodles. At the highest spice level, it was just right for me! I took my meal to-go, but if I needed a quick bite I would eat in the restaurant. It's small dining area near where you order, so it's ideal for you with 1-2 people or yourself to eat inside. A shoutout to the owner who was very nice to talk to when I waited for my food, which didn't take long. read more

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for the taste of a yummy and heart warming home cooked meal! I got a spicy pork rice bowl and the passion fruit bubble tea and both were delicious. The food here is also super affordable. The owners are also super kind and you can tell they put their heart and soul into running their shop. The seating is a bit limited so I got my food to go! Ordering was easy with the kiosk or you can go to the register. Stop by if you're looking for some delicious and authentic Chinese food! read more

Great restaurant!! Stopped on my commute home and everything was a 10/10. I was the only one in the store and the food came out in what seemed like 5 mins! Prices are quite good as well. I got all this food for less than $20. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, felt like a home-cooked meal. The pan-fried dumplings were especially good. The oolong boba tea was spectacular and was not too sweet which is what I'm used to at most places now, so that was great. Service was so welcoming and kind! I will definitely be back. The store itself is extremely clean and organized, they have a few nice patio tables that I really enjoyed eating at. Please come visit them! read more

I and my friend both got Thai tea latte and mango bubble tea. And both of us hated it so much that we had to throw it! Very disappointing.

This spot is lovely for a quick lunch! Always fresh, friendly service, and all around a great place to grab lunch, bubble tea (delicious and not too sweet), or a snack like their spring rolls or bao buns. I mostly do takeout but there is limited seating inside and a couple tables outside. read more

The best spicy beef noodles I had, it's served with pickled vegetables and they both go amazing together. The egg yolk mixed with everything was also amazing. I got "spicy" for the spice level, it wasn't an overload of spice, it was just right. Highly recommend 10/10 read more

Person who took the order was super cheerful and great, the food itself was delicious and just what I was craving. I got the pork noodles and sesame balls special and the sesame balls were some of the best I've ever had- warm, perfect texture, really yummy. I also got boba and the pearls were very well cooked as well. The space was clean and well kept with little frills (because it doesn't need them). Added bonus of sample teas to try! Definitely would recommend and come here again. read more

It's a really nice little spot worth to visit. We had pork buns, scallion pancake, sesame mochi ball and the spicy eggs, everything was delicious; and for drinks a taro bubble tea and a mango passion fruit tea, I ordered it with jelly and they were star-shaped. I would love to go again. You can order in the computer that they have next to the counter and pay right away, also, you can put a request, ours was light sweet in the drinks and it was really good to have a drink that tasted good. They also have vegetarian options! read more

Glad there is finally a good Chinese takeout restaurant near Dupont Circle. The pan fried pork buns are handmade. The wrap is fluffy, and crispy at the bottom. The flavor is not 100% what I expected but still good. I also ordered a mild pork rice bowl. Decent flavor, just a little spicy and good amount of seasonings. The lady taking the order is very nice and friendly. Reasonable price for the amount of food at this location. read more

Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular. read more

I got a taro milk tea and scallion pancake it was so yummy!!!!! and there was a few outside seats for me and my friend to eat/drink. The store is small but the flavor is BIG !! The cashier was so nice and even brought out my drink for me :) so sad I live 40 minutes away, otherwise I'd be here every other day read more

Reasonable pricing, fantastic ramen. "Spicy" isn't too hot, doesn't mask the flavor. Very polite staff. Will be back often!

SO SO GOOD! The owner was such a sweet genuine man. The food was fresh and was made in a timely manner. Being out of town, price was a huge factor and this is a perfect price for a quick bite. The setting is very welcoming. The food also feels like home. 10/10 experience. I ordered the mango passion fruit and a bento box. read more

Service was great, food was great, ambiance was great, 10/10 recommend. I got pork buns and they were excellent.

The service is the only good thing I could say about this place. As for the food...Jesus Christ...it's definitely for Americans. That's all I got for them. Sweet staff but really mid products. boba tea (powder type) is mid, fruit tea is bleh. Rice bowl is really not that tasty for their price( taste wise and ingredients wise). The sunny side egg probably is the most effort they put into the preparation. And the spicer the sauce is, the saltier it got. Didn't even finish the bowl because it was too salty, and the picked cabbage also only tastes salty, no other flavor. I genuinely wish they put more effort into their products. Either better hand made tea, or freshly prepared food and dim sum could get them last longer. Everything offered makes me feel like they are targeting only the American customers. read more

I love this place. RIP to the Shenkman location but I'm glad to have this place back! Love the rice bowls. They have great daily specials too. Service and ambiance are standard for a takeout place. It's really only a takeout place, but the people are always so very friendly! read more
