    Boba was really good! I got the matcha brown sugar boba with oat milk I would definitely order from here again.

    The jasmine green milk tea was delicious! I added the crystal boba and coconut lychee jelly and it was great.

    Came here again because this place was an absolute banger last time, and I needed to bring my BFF…read morehere while he was down from Austin. Blended Vietnamese Coffee - Love the potent coffee taste. They use Cafe du Monde, which is already a strong indicator of authenticity. It wasn't the "kick me in the face with caffeine" Vietnamese coffee I get from 85°C in Katy Asiatown, but it definitely hit the spot for my caffeine needs. It's still very sweet, so I'm hoping it doesn't make me crash during my volunteering. Honeydew Smoothie - My friend said it was too sweet, but he also fasted for five days (bless his soul), so I don't trust his taste buds. It had a very noticeable honeydew flavor, which is exactly why I liked it. Coconut Smoothie (w. Ube Foam) - This was definitely a banger. It was perfectly coconutty with a light, milky taste. It reminded me of a well-masked liquor drink--you can drink a lot of it without realizing how much you've downed in 20 minutes. Definitely my favorite drink of the day at this location. I keep forgetting to try their foam toppings, so I'm glad my BFF got one. I still have to come back for that guanábana.

    It's neat that there is also a drive-through, makes it easier to grab and go. There is designated…read moreparking around the place. I like the colorful decor inside. It's small inside but there are a few tables to sit at. Fiji has a variety of drinks from smoothies, tea, to coffee. Price is pretty good compared to a lot of boba places. It's full size cup as well. I tried the fruit tea and it was very refreshing. It was not overly sweet and also had fresh fruits inside. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Overall, this is a nice addition to the area.

    So glad to hear that one recently opened up in Houston. Would LOVE to take my cousins here one day…read more Environment/Atmosphere - Super crowded when we got here, but the lines moved fast, and there was a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait in line for the cashier. One of my favorite things was how fragrant the space smelled while I waited for my boba. You could tell there was an exceptional tea aroma lingering despite all the cream and sweetness. The place was exceptionally clean for being so busy, and the workers consistently cleaned as they made the drinks, so you knew you could trust the sanitation here. Drink Design - I have to make a separate comment on how CUTE these drinks were. I loved the intentional sticker placement over the lips and the little carrying handle. You could tell they went the extra mile to make these drinks not just flavorful, but an experience in and of themselves. Even their receipt paper felt luxurious. That sounds ridiculous to point out, but the thought behind every aspect of this place is impeccable. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had today, this lemony drink hit the spot with its perfect tartness. The cream had bits of lemon zest in it, adding to the aroma. I tried to adjust the sweetness when I ordered and was told it had a built-in sweetness, but if I found it too sweet, they would happily switch it out for another drink. I felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy--and luckily, the drink was perfect, so no return was needed! Creamy Mango Tart - Literally like the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much and really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of BOTH tarts. Instantly a fan favorite. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my favorite because it was a bit too creamy after everything else I had today. Still, I loved the tea profile and can absolutely see why others would love it. Overall, I love, love, LOVE this place. 1000/10. From the experience to the quality and intentionality behind every little detail, I couldn't be happier with my visit. I never thought I'd ever say that a drink was so Instagram-worthy, but these drinks were beautiful--like models of the boba world. Would go back in a heartbeat. This has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

    I have heard the hype for Chicha San Chen and I wanted to try it. This place is definitely a more…read moreelevated than your normal boba tea place and you can tell by the crowds. We had to wait a little in line but the service was fast! The tea tastes great and I like the cup they serve it. I appreciate that they offer your sweet level and ice level you prefer. And the prices are reasonable compared to other places I've visited. You see families of all ages come into this place, as it's shown in social media it definitely brings a crowd. 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.

I've been here a few times up to date and I've gotten the chance to enjoy multiple drinks and some food items. Overall I have been pleased with what I've received and have had little to no complaints about them. They are just like any other boba spot, with adjustments to drinks, ice levels, sugar levels and all the other good stuff. The indoor seating is nice for both groups and individual studying. The staircase seating on the right as you walk in is a nice different concept to have. Service can get slow if it's busy, so be prepared to wait for a little bit, but the wait isn't that bad or slow if there are just a few people inside. This place is great to come after having a nice lunch or dinner, great for the Memorial HS students as well to drop on by!

The star of the show was the Thai tea and fresh watermelon juice. Both were so satisfying on so many levels. They have a great menu. You will be able to find what ever suits your mood that day. I promise you. On a beautiful day, I walked out on cloud nine. I will be returning......soon.
