    Hopped over to Zen Q after being told at Snowy Village that there was a 45 min wait. Came here and was happy that it wasn't too busy at all. Immediate seating available, and we had our orders brought to our table after a short wait. We ordered a shaved ice and tofu pudding. The portion size for the tofu pudding was kind of small, but the shaved ice serving size was pretty generous (minus the skimpy toppings). We ordered the matcha flavored shaved ice, with which you could definitely taste the matcha flavor, and it didn't taste powdery. The only issue was that there was one tiny scoop of ice cream (and why would it be matcha ice cream?! the ice is already matcha flavored!), and small amounts of q balls and pearls (two thumbs up for how the pearls taste though - the right amount of chewiness and brown sugar taste). The syrup in which the tofu pudding sits in was good, not overly sweet, and a nice compliment to the tofu. We felt like there was more toppings with the tofu pudding than the shaved ice, or maybe it just seemed that way because there was less tofu pudding than shaved ice? Free wifi available, no free parking since it's downtown; meter hours apply.

    Best milk tea in town! I ordered ZenQ milk tea with 50% sweetness, 50% ice and small boba. It was utterly delightful. I also tried the matcha frappe with red bean and jelly. It was like a fun, chewy, deconstructed bubble tea. Give this place a try!

    This bubble tea and dessert bar is cute and cozy. It isn't too loud but it no longer provides free Wi-Fi.

    We tried two of the frappe desserts and they were both excellent.

    I went to this place today and tried a few dishes with my friend: crispy tofu, tomato beef noodles,…read morepork intestines, beef noodles, etc. The food was delicious, well-made, and the only thing was my beef noodle, which I didn't take a picture of, was not salty enough. The service was very generous and kind. The overall environment is very traditional Hong Kong Chinese. And, it was not pricey at all! Six dishes in total costed me 65 dollars plus tax and tips. Recommended!

    This is the second time I visited the restaurant. I have reviewed this place during my first visit…read moreand I decided to leave a second review. I ordered the Curry Beef Brisket Noodle again during my second visit because the dish left a great impression on me during my first visit. The Curry Beef Brisket Noodle is a must-try and I definitely recommend this if you are visiting this restaurant. During my first visit, I did not have the chance to try their satay skewer and I decided to order a chicken satay skewer to try. The chicken satay was good. The meat was tender and nice, and not too burnt or tough unlike some of the satay that i tried. It came with a satay dipping sauce, but the sauce was not as good as I thought. Perhaps it did not contain peanuts due to possible allergy concerns so the sauce was not as fragrant as I expected satay sauce to be. But still it was good, and the skewer wasn't too expensive as well. Great restaurant and definitely one of the hidden gems in Edmonton.

Any OG Edmontonians remember when this place was Taiwan Bubble Tea with the eye soar red booths, dimmed lighting and split sitting areas that didn't go with either scheme? Yeah, well when you walk into HI Tea you don't see any remnants of that decade which I'm glad we've moved on from. They've managed to renovate the space and make it more modern with LIGHT! Nothing like a 2018 cafe without some scattered potted plants for decoration, wooden panels for an accent wall and of course tables and chairs with the same wood to blend it all together. Ah, now Hi tea you've sure got the aesthetics down now! Now to their menu, before Hi Tea became Hi tea it was a split between Taiwan bubble tea and Cheers Cut (that place with the giant flimsy piece of chicken that was half bone and looked nothing like the display out front) Food wasn't great, and it was more of a novelty visit more than anything. Fast Forward to today, food wise nothing really different or tantalizing, same mix of Taiwanese snacks and bowls and bentos. Bubble tea prices start from $4.80 for an artificial flavor all the way to $7.50 for milkshakes and milk caps. More epensive than coco's but -OKAY HI TEA. We got the Toufu Mik Tea - ($6.xx) - Bae liked this a lot, One of their specialty drinks that wasn't on their main menu but a seperate picture poster, pretty unique! Super Fruit Iced Tea ($6.99) - I paid 7 dollars for a cup for 70% sliced fruit, lol. I mean it was good, but like $7. This was my bad. It was on a poster and looked super pretty. Competition especially around this area will probably be the reason why I wouldn't revisit. Not a bad place to go if you're in to try for something different though.

    It's no secret - I love bubble tea. I love the sweetness of the taste, the texture of the chewy…read moresago balls, and seemingly endless choices of flavours. As a result, I was very excited to see that a new bubble tea shop was opening, right on 97 street in the heart of Chinatown no less. The Bubble Tea Café sells a variety of bubble drinks, coffees, milkshakes, and slushes. A limited menu of Asian meals and snacks is also available. The price for a bubble tea is slightly lower than I have experienced in other places. My taro bubble tea tasted exactly as I wanted - sweet and milky. On another visit, I had a chocolate milkshake. The serving size was slightly smaller than I expected, but again, it was very rich. There are a few tables in the café, and service is very friendly. If you find yourself strolling down Chinatown and crave a refreshing drink (and there are a few hot drinks available that should be perfect for our coming cold weather), definitely stop into The Bubble Tea Café.

    What a cute little cafe on 97th! This was the first time I've been here. And though I only ordered…read morea couple of papaya bubble teas, I watched the many dishes ordered here look and smell delicious. The bubble teas were great and reasonably priced, $3~3.50, though they are smaller than other bubble tea places. I also found that there were some ice chunks on the bottom that prevented you from sucking up the last bit of juice. A minor inconvenience. It's a very small place, 6 or 7 tables, but it looks like a great place for a quick lunch or dinner. It was kind of neat to watch the Hong Kong shows on the TV. Would definitely be back again to try the food. I really liked it here, giving it 3.5 stars.
