"Located in the same plaza as Hokkaido. I usually come here after eating at Hokkaido. Their drinks are cheap and good quality. The popcorn chicken is pretty good here. You get to taste a decent amount of actual chicken meat. There is also a spicy mayo sauce that you can get yourself. Their takoyaki is alright, not the best. I also enjoy the squid ball. What I love is the cheap prices and pretty fast service. Mango tea is one of my favorite. Their osmanthus milk tea is also good. They have a new drink, thai green tea. Pretty decent too. They have two sizes you can pick from. The place is not that big so a little difficult if you want to chill with your with group of friends. We have to sit 6 people on a tiny table. They different kind of music, mostly Asian. Nice atmosphere and cute interiors. They do have wifi so you can study. It's not too crowded at times so a good hangout place for friends."

"Probably the best Jasmine tea on this side of Houston. I'm assuming they brew their Jasmine tea the taste itself is so perfect and paired with milk or fruit 10/10 would recommend! I wish I knew what kind of Jasmine tea they use so I can run to every other tea house and demand that they use it as well lol. One thing I strongly dislike is that I always smell like fried food after leaving the vicinity. But it doesn't keep me away"

"This spot is seriously slept on and I will be going here for boba from now on if I’m in the Bellaire area. How this place works: You chose your drink of choice, sweetness/ice level, and size. Once you place your order, the bobarista draws a line on the cup and then you head over to the toppings bar. The toppings bar has a large selection to choose from and you can put as many different toppings as you’d like (it just has to be up to the line that was drawn on the cup). When I went, there was mango jelly, basil seed, rainbow jelly, egg pudding, crystal boba, grass jelly, strawberry jelly, aloe vera, coconut jelly, lychee jelly, apple jelly and coffee jelly. Review: My friend and I ordered a large sunset drink and it tasted great. What I love about this spot is that the cup sizes are huge (even the medium is pretty big) and you get to choose as many different toppings as you’d like. Most boba spots nowadays charge anywhere from $6-8 dollars and it only comes with one topping. But here, the portions are generous and I love how you get to have a variety of different toppings to put in your drink. As for the interior, it’s clean and well decorated. On top of that, the service was good and fast. I highly recommend this spot!"

"I think they recently changed ownership or management because this whole boba shop looks entirely different with the setup and decor. This place is much more hygienic now with glass shields and a fancy espresso maker. I always come here for the spicy chicken nuggets 盐酥鸡。This is the best place in town to get Taiwanese popcorn chicken, the quality of the chicken served is better than other places and I love the spicy dry seasoning I can add on top. I am impressed with the attention to detail and level of customer service here. I asked for a cup of ice water and the girl with the long ponytail and the boy with the hat made me an ice water in 30 seconds and even sealed it! That was so thoughtful of them. The girl with the glasses and ponytail has the best work ethic I've seen at any boba shop. I ordered a Hong Kong MT and she graciously poured 2 cups of condensed milk into my tea to make a delicious smooth concoction."

"This place had become my favorite tea house! They may be the only place that I know who use real tea leaves for their tea. Unlike some other places, they use powder. Also, their toppingS is FREE! You get to choose and put in what topping do you want into the cup without any extra charge. (Reasonable amt of course) Their food are excellent in variety, taste, and quantity! For example, I have never seen that much of 盐酥鸡 (popcorn chicken nuggets) for one order. The last time I saw that amount was in my home country, Taiwan.... By the way, the owner is super nice too. She always remembers what I like and make the best suggestions when I want to try something new. Highly recommended!"
