    Thai tea and brown sugar milk tea
    Austin J.

    Yummy! Clean inside the restaurant and the staff is very friendly. Loved the Thai tea and brown sugar milk tea. Can't wait to try more flavors. Both were delicious.

    Jasmine Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea

    I'm sorry to leave a one star review but the tea is really bad. This is, by far, the worst tea I have ever bought. The cup is a good size for $4.95 and the employees are nice enough but the positives stop there. Only the jasmine milk tea, thai milk tea, and thai green tea are made from actual tea leaves. Everything else is fake. What I ordered: Jasmine Milk Tea - It tastes like sweetened water with a faint tea essence. Awful. Thai Milk Tea - Same as above. After drinking a quarter of the cup, I couldn't taste the barely there tea flavor anymore. Unfortunately, you are better off making milk tea at home instead of coming here. Unless you like powdered fruit drinks/slushes, then order those instead. They probably are better than what I got. :(

    Drinks are good but customer service is bleh. Ordered at 7:08, now 7:31 only two drinks, the person who ordered before us already got his drink 10 mins after the order. Asked about it and the excuse was "oh bc there's two orders ahead". Drove 4 hours from Houston to wait for almost an hour for 2 drinks are ridiculous. I'm so unhappy tbh. I worked in the milk tea industry for 8 years and I know what is a rush looked like. Now is 7:35. Still no drink

    OK honestly idk why I gave 5 stars last time LOL I came again today because I had a strong craving for boba and yeah for sure not coming back. Its too sweet even asking for less sugar and dont even get me started on the boba the texture was so bad. Please take your boba cravings to HANAYA POKE bc so far, the best boba I had here in Corpus was from them (speaking from someone who grew up with boba + asian lol) how does this boba place not have matcha. srsly confused what state of mind i was in during my last review LOL

    My favorite boba tea place when I visit Corpus Christi

    Love this place, good variety and options for boba teas. My family and I have been coming to this place for years. They also have desserts and creppes and they are also good. But I come here primarily for the boba. You won't be disappointed!

    three different drinks on a table

    Left to right Jasmine tea lightly sweetened with tapioca boba and lychee jelly Jasmine milk tea with tapioca boba Thai tea with tapioca boba. Easy to find location. I appreciate being able to have the drink made less sweet . Pan fried dumplings and strawberry banana crepes were enjoyed before the picture was taken

    The teas here are well.. Tastea. I just don't like what I ordered. I ordered one of the popular drinks which is the Royal milk tea. I guess I'm just not a big fan of the cream stuff on top. I think they call it crema but that ishhh is a dilemma! The place is a bit run down but it does have a lot of space. They have a lot of interesting things on the wall and they also have board games you can play. If you're from corpus you should know that there aren't many bubble tea places here. I only saw maybe 2 or 3 when I was yelping but the first one we went to wasn't open. If you also get a chance to go to the bathroom you feel like you're in a jail cell. Jk, but it's because it has a caged window lol. It's not a bad thing. I think this place just needs to renovate though. It will stand out especially when their primary color is light green. Great sign pointing to the building though!

    Best place to study for all college kids!! There is a variety of drinks plus snacks to munch on. Basically the typical bubble tea place to get your bubble tea fix. My go to is always the taro bubble tea with tapioca balls. The place is very clean and the workers are really nice. I recently saw on fb they will be opening a second location inside H-E-B plus :)

    Mango slushy with strawberry sinkers = perfect combination
    Gaby G.

    I could honestly rave about this place forever, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet. I took a weekend beach trip with my girl for our anniversary and was craving a late night snack and was obviously extremely lucky and found this place! I thought to myself "I could go for a bubble tea, I suppose" OMYGOD, I was not aware that I would be gifted the best bubble tea I've ever tried in my life. I've only had bubble tea a handful of times and it's generally bc either my best friend or sister ( who are both bubble tea obsessed humans) have dragged me at some point or another. I've never really gone out of my way to have bubble tea, with the exception of this particular night when my extreme case of late night cravings led me to Tastea. I am lactose intolerant / Veganish so I could only get the Slushy version of a bubble "tea" and I went with the magonada , which is generally my safe bet and added strawberry sinkers for fun. I kid you not I finished the entire drink before I even got back to our Airbnb. I honestly regret not trying a crepe or edamame but I was trying to be good and not eat anything too heavy this late at night. I will definitely be back whenever I come back to our lovely Texas coast. Thanks a million, Tastea. You have a returning customer in me.

    The vibes is warm and welcoming!
    Basilea A.

    It was fairly vacant as me and two others went it however, the vibe was fairly warm and welcoming. Not to mention the staff was very friendly and patient with us as well! It's hard to come by good milk tea, and flavored at that, but this is the real deal! They have a large variety of drinks and extras (boba, popping, etc) as well as snacks!

    I quite enjoyed this place! Ingredients were fresh. We parked here to use the Tesla Super…read morechargers. The poke bowl was refreshing. The crispy garlic bits gave a nice crunch. So delightful. Surprisingly affordable, good value too. Two adults and two kids $43. I'm not in this area frequently. But I would be a regular if I lived near here.

    Pretty solid! I got the hana bowl, the steak bowl, and the surf smth bowl (w scallops and shrimp)…read more The hana bowl had pineapples which I wasn't the biggest fan of so I wish I had subbed that out. The steak was surprisingly tender and flavorful, I just wished there was more of it. It was cut super duper thin. The spring mix also wasn't my favorite because it was very spinach forward. I would have opted for more rice but also the hana rice wasn't that great. More mushy than what I was used to and didn't have any green tea extract or coconut taste which is fine. I think it would be great if the preset bowls had more sauces on them but you definitely can add other stuff to it as well. Workers were nice! I also tried the hana boba drink which had very little flavor but I'm a boba snob. I think the boba should have been soaked in some kind of brown sugar or syrup because it's super bland and the drink is pretty mild as well. The flan/custard in the drink is solid though. It is very clean inside and the perfect meal to bring to the beach. I will say I saw something about miso soup but it wasn't explained very well. The menu is also hard to read and a little overwhelming so I appreciate the preset bowls.

    I have had poke all over the country (lived in Hawaii for many years). I consider it one of my…read morefavorite dishes and this was okay. A 1.5/5 compared to actual Hawaiian Poke. For mainland I'd give it a 3.5. First place I have tried in Texas but will keep searching for better before I consider coming back. Service was good. Staff was friendly. Served chipotle style, build as you go. Other then that, that's the extent of your interaction. The ambiance was nice, quiet, relaxing, with cafeteria vibes. Nothing super fancy but it was clean. Pretty dead for 1230 in the afternoon. Pros: -Lots of toppings. They mix them for you. -Milk Tea also served (a lot of options for toppings as well) Cons: -The imitation crab they use is not the typical crab salad I'd typically see in a poke bowl. It does not carry the sweet, meaty flavor of the stringier version. It resembles the imitation crab you buy in a can. -The flavor was off. I could not pinpoint it but it was kind of bland, slightly fishy/metallic tasting. It could have been the imitation crab. Not sure. -Bubble tea was not my fav. I just got the original but that could have been a poor choice on my part. -The 3 protein bowl with a milk tea came out to $18 and change. Seemed like a lot for a poke bowl/drink for the quality.

    An absolute scam on fruit cups. Let me explain…read more I went to buy a large mixed fruit fruit cup. They charge $7 for a large basic mixed fruit cup (no topping) that includes watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, and pineapple. Fine. I then asked to add strawberries, oranges, banana at $0.50 EACH. Which was already ridiculous (don't give me that "fruit is expensive" BS). The cup is a fixed volume of measurement. They didn't make the cup bigger to make room for more fruit. Instead, they had to take out the basic fruit from the cup and add what I requested. Fine. This is the cup they gave me. Which does not look like a large cup (pretty much the same size as a "tall" at Starbucks). What was even more infuriating was that they didn't even fill the cup (look at all of the empty space). The woman tried use some lame excuse about how they cut the fruit and since the pieces are bigger that means they fit more inside the cup.... But again... the cup has a fixed volume and when there are empty spaces it means the cup is not filled. THEN I looked closer at the cup... the bottom 3/4 of the fruit cup are the fruits I requested which I paid $1.50 EXTRA. So... if I paid $1.50 EXTRA for the bottom 3/4 of the cup, that means I paid $7 for the top 1/4 of the cup with the absolute least amount of basic fruits they could jam in there. I paid nearly $9 off this sad fruit cup. I do not recommend going here for a fruit cup. As by the attitude of their workers, it seems they are cared less about their entire business.

    Food, shakes, & the fruits are always great here. Yes it takes a while sometimes (thats what…read morehappens when you're not going through a McDonald's drive thru).......Have some patience, it's worth it.
