    Black milk tea with boba
    Abigail R.

    I came here for Boba with high expectations. Don't get me wrong only because I had some amazing Boba not too long ago. I got the black milk tea with Boba 100%-normal sugar and I gotta say it just didn't really have a good milk tea flavor. It wasn't terrible but once I been into the Boba it tasted warm as if they had just cooked it. Typically, Boba has cooled down and it's got that hard consistency to chew through this one more melted in your mouth and made my tea warm versus cold. The ice pretty much melted that's how I know they probably just cooked the Boba. I would give them a try again because I know I've had them before but today was just didn't have it. Service was great. They were very quick. The place seemed clean and full of people who just wanted to work on their laptops almost like Starbucks. So that has to say something about their Boba being good and maybe it was just not my day.

    Still a 10/10 recommend tea shop for me! Wish the location was closer to me or my job but I am more than willing to pay the mileage fee for DoorDash delivery. Taro crème brûlée is a go-to and always delicious. Highly recommend any of their crème brûlée drinks.

    I tried the matcha latte with crème brûlée cream at Yicha and it was amazing! The matcha itself tasted high quality!! It was rich, earthy, and full-bodied without being overly bitter. The bobarista said the drinks can lean towards the sweeter side, so I went with 25% sugar which was just right, not too sweet, letting the matcha shine through. The crème brûlée cream added a velvety, slightly creamy touch that made the drink extra indulgent. Bonus points for their rewards system! You get a free drink for every 10 purchased, which is always a nice perk. Definitely coming back!

    I got the Yi Cha milk tea ($6.25) and added boba (95 cents) for a total of $7.79. I chose 50% sugar because I was feeling indulgent. The boba was warm and slightly chewy at first sip. After a few minutes, the boba became a little firmer and was less bouncy. The tables were full of people on the weekend. The interior is a little different from shops as it has a darker palette than the usual stark white walls.

    Bubble waffle & ice cream
    Monique T.

    The boba was so supple and delicious! Soft and chewy. We loved the bubble waffle too- came out fresh and delicious w the ice cream and strawberries. The ladies were very nice and the drink wasnt too sweet which I loved.

    Matcha Coco
    Jicel G.

    It's a little pricey but they a good selection of drinks. I've tried the Matcha Coco thinking it was with coconut milk but it was still good regardless.

    Matcha creme brulee.
    Jackie G.

    Their boba balls are good quality. The creme brulee is one of my regular orders. But their teas are also a great choice.

    Ube latte

    One of my favorite Boba spots! They have great fruit teas and their house milk tea is so good! I recently tried their Ube latte, and now it's one of my favorites! Service is quick, and the staff is very polite.

    Mango Dragonfruit Yogurt
    Oz E.

    Delicious! Came in as a group of 11 and we were not disappointed. Not only is the interior inviting and well-decorated but the people working are friendly, helpful, and patient. The drinks themselves are excellent. The menu offers a variety of unique drinks and flavors including crème brûlée and various yogurt drinks all of which are great. I specifically recommend the mango dragonfruit yogurt. There are also more simplistic kid-friendly options. Definitely a spot worth checking out on your next boba run!

    Great tea place the ambiance is kinda loud when there's a lot of people . It's nice and small I usually just pick up . They have plenty of flavors and everything is good . Service is quick . Highly recommend to try it if you like tea spots .

    Matcha late with crème brûlée.

    Driving to my brothers, this place peaked my interest. So I pulled over and tried it. I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of my drink. I order the honey kumquat tea with 50% sugar. The tea was refreshing and offered a good balance with tea and kumquat flavor. I actually paused after the first sipped and let out an audible "ahh this is nice" The match late with added crème brûlée with 25% sugar. The cashier said their drinks are on the sweeter side. This adjustment was prefect. The brûlée brought in the right amount of richness to soothe out the matcha. I usually prefer a strong matcha flavor but this mix reminded me of a nice summer ice cream mixed milkshake with a smooth and rich aftertaste taste.

    24 oz. Matcha Creme Brulee
    Kimberly H.

    Amazing drinks!! I'm very picky with boba places especially because I usually only get matcha which is easy to mess up. Yi Cha is probably my favorite place to get boba in north Houston, and honestly, I prefer it over the other big chains in Bellaire. - Matcha Creme Brulee (4.7/5): The matcha creme brulee is my absolute favorite. It's definitely not traditional Japanese matcha and has the distinctive South East Asian matcha flavor which is slightly floral. The creme brulee is creamy and adds a subtle sweetness that helps balance out the drink. I also like how they swirl it all around the cup so it's evenly distributed and not all on the bottom. However, there are some chunky or grainy bits of creme brulee that kind of disturb the drinking experience. Overall, this drink is refreshing and delicious. - Matcha latte (3.9/5): Decent matcha latte from a boba shop. I like how they usually put a lot of matcha so it's flavorful. It does, however, somewhat taste like Costco matcha, but I'm not complaining. I just think matcha connoisseurs might not rate it so high, but I personally really enjoy this drink. Service/ambiance: The interior is very nice and industrial with a good amount of seating and outlets. It can get very crowded and loud, but it's a very nice place to do schoolwork if you're able to get a table. The service is also very nice and you can kind of tell it's a small business.

    24 oz. Jasmine Milk Tea with grass jelly
    Sarah L.

    Great place! Stumbled across this by accident and it was the best accident of the day! Great tasting milk tea (the jasmine milk tea was AMAZING!!) and the egg bubble waffle was made to perfection. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy! Great for a friend meet up or studying! LOVE!!

    The food was very good!…read more I was hesitant at first because some of the menu seemed to be fusion items. In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.

Just Ube and all the Oreos that are supposed to be at the bottom were all stuck to the wall of the cup instead. The owner said the Ube dissolves the Thai tea after a while. I live half a mile away and it took only three minutes to arrive after placing my order. So no way I believe that story. Also my kid went in to retrieve the drink and she couldn't get it from the servers so I had to go in and get it. 3 of them there. Not a single one helping her in an empty store. Unfortunate seeing as there was no parking and that's why my kid went in to get it while I was waiting in the car. The owner says they asked her if she needed help but she was on her phone. Well my daughter was only on her phone because she was texting me because not a single person helped her. They said nothing to her like they claim. Total lies. If this is the kind of service we're now getting I won't be coming back and it's a shame that the owner doesn't take more pride in their shop.

The mango sago drink and my husband ordered a basic taro slush. Both pretty basic drinks. There was no wow factor in either.
