    Personally i'm not a huge fan of this boba, the boba doesn't have much flavor and has a pretty unsatisfying texture. it feels inconsistent throughout and the outside is nice and chewy but inside feels weird and undercooked. But sometimes you get smaller pearls that are wayyyy too overcooked and just kinda fall apart. I got the Green Tiger, a tiger is using the assam black tea and then adding the brown sugar boba syrup as well. The drink itself was pretty solid, nothing too special in my opinion but tastes good. My partner got the green thai tea and I thought it was abysmal, it basically tasted like nothing. She added more sugar but it still tasted like extremely watered down tea. It lacked any real flavor and if I wasn't told it was supposed to be green thai tea I wouldn't have a clue what I was drinking. Service was super fast and nice, no complaints there. When we asked questions and to add more sugar they had no problems. They also provided board games and food if you wanted to hang out, overall seems like a solid place to bring friends. It's connected to ijji so I bet you the food is great, the tea is solid but i'd recommend passing on the boba.

    Green Tiger and Green Thai Milk Tea with boba
    Keann H.

    I came here specifically to try the green Thai tea after seeing many positive reviews for it. I was in fact quite disappointed, as the drink had basically no flavor to it. The boba was also quite flavorless and not very sweet, as well has having an inconsistent texture throughout. Some bobas were nice and chewy on the outside, but hard on the inside, while others were so overcooked they were almost dissolved. The only thing that saved the green tiger was the brown sugar syrup which took over in flavor. Overall I'm not too picky when it comes to my boba but I was honestly extremely let down by this. I will probably stick to other places in reno going forward.

    metal/plastic thing in my drink
    Mea S.

    Bummed to have to leave this review, but I can't not mention it for safety reasons: ordered a matcha milk tea with boba and coffee jelly, along with two other drinks, and my drink tasted okay -- I think the matcha could be mixed in a bit better but the flavor is fine. Only concern is this metal-looking thing came up my straw while I was drinking. It's good that i immediately noticed a different texture so I didn't bite down and swallow, but it is a bit sharp and could have been a totally different scenario if I did end up gulping this down with my boba or coffee jelly! Eek!

    I Ordered the Passionfruit Nada it was very delicious, it wasn't too sweet for my likes. I will definitely be coming back! Great drinks!

    Fast and clean environment. The service was fast, and the drinks were delicious. Drinks were refreshing for a hot day.

    Really good boba I got the chai tea! I definitely recommend this spot and if you're hungry, there's a restaurant next to it.

    I've been wanting to try this boba place and I was in this area. They weren't busy when I went in, so service was fast! Prices were $4-6 per drink. The interior design gives a warm and welcoming feel. It is connected next door to the Ijji noodle restaurant, so it can get loud when they are busy. Otherwise, it would be a great place to sit back and hangout with friends or study. I ordered the Vanilla Chai, Jasmine, and Matcha Milk Teas all with boba. The vanilla chai is like a cinnamon roll made into a drink lol. The Jasmine had the perfect amount of tea to milk ratio giving it enough tea flavor, but not too overpowering. The matcha did not have enough matcha flavor. The boba tasted like it was made in-house. I wished it was not as hard, chewier, and had added sugar because there's a lack of flavor within the boba. Their menu was extensive, so I would definitely come back to try another drink!

    This is a cute spot for dessert after having some ramen next door! They have a lot of options to choose from and the service was great. Everyone was welcoming and the drinks were delicious. Highly recommend taro or lychee tea.

    I love boba! And I have a friend who had never tried it, so we went to this 1, 2 Tea location by her house. It was the best possible place to take someone who is new to bubble tea! The service was SO friendly and welcoming, and the person (dang I forget his name) helping us even offered samples of the toppings (which is apparently a confusing term if you are new to this world - I think a more accurate term is mix-ins or something. But I digress). We tried some and they were great, especially the egg pudding, which is like custard. But I was glad to have tried it because I didn't really want the texture of it in my drink. The menu has lots of options and my normal go to is Thai tea with boba, but I wanted to try something new. Since it was 1000 degrees outside, I thought a fruit tea might be extra refreshing and opted for mango. And I had the option to make it SPARKLE! Fizzy drinks are my favorite, and the mango was a good flavor (it can be so fake and gross, I was worred but did not need to!) and the boba was delicious and I was SO happy! My friend got the Thai tea and said it was super tasty too. An excellent first boba experience, yay! We also got some food. I got a banh mi, which is listed as one of the snacks on the menu at 1, 2, Tea. They also gave us a menu for Ijji 3 - so extensive! and when we asked how to order, the (again, amazingly helpful) person said he'd have someone from Ijji come over and take out order. So that service was excellent too and the ramen and my pork banh mi were great. Basically...all our food and drink dreams came true! I also really like that there are tall booths at 1, 2 Tea - for privacy and covid-safety reasons. Next time, I gotta get one of those lightbulbs...for sure I will be back! I want to try Ijji's poke, too - they sounded so good.

    Matcha milk tea w/ raspberry & coconut jelly!
    Fernanda R.

    I think if happiness could come from anywhere, it would probably come from one of the drinks right here. And in my personal opinion, it would be the Matcha Milk Tea w Raspberry (yes, raspberry) and COCONUT JELLY! Soo, I can finally cross trying this place off my 'To-Do' list and it paid off biggo time-o!! The staff welcomed me and attended to me immediately. They were very knowledgeable and considerate, and gave great suggestions. I never would've thought to jazz up matcha with Raspberry but let me tell you... IT WORKS. And the jelly? Oh my God the coconut jelly. Even if this combo sounds crazy to you, what I'm really trying to say is, I found my perfect trifecta here. So you MOST definitely can find yours too:) I won't be done with this place tell I've tried everything. I'm comin back for that lightbulb drink!

    Samples!
    Debra S.

    Thanks to a YES! (Yelp Elite Squad) event, I was able to experience some boba tea from 1 2 Tea! I also was able to sample other flavors... and I purchased a couple of fruit teas for my household. All beverages were a winner! My first time experience here was very pleasant! The staff is so friendly! The establishment is very clean. The menu has so many choices!!!!! I will return! And I love the fact that they are connected to Ijji Noodle House!!!!

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Boba Tea in South Reno with poke and ramen in the same building? How can you lose? I thought I was coming on here to drop a first to review but a swing and a miss there. That's a ok though because it means some peeps have already discovered this sweet treat. 1,2 Tea was already blowing up the boba spot with their original cafe off California, so I knew the drinks were good, but I was blown away by the friendly service and selection they're offering here! I finally understand the hype over "Brown Sugar Boba Tea". I'm in love. The Okinawa is an awesome option for those that like a more direct approach to milk tea. It's a black tea infused with brown sugar that makes for a delicious toffee/coffee flavor with the tea behind it. All that extra flavor is coming from the brown sugar. I got mine with zero sugar added and it's as sweet as I'd like it to be. I also grabbed a taro milk tea and got it zero sweetness. That was a mistake. It wasn't sweet at all. I was expecting the taro flavored powder to add the sweetness but it wasn't there. Next time 10%-25% and I bet I hit the mark right! This new location is dangerously close to home, and with boba tea this good I'm in big trouble.

    Do they offer the option for real dairy milk in the boba milk teas, or is there only non-dairy?

Love that you can get a boba and lunch in the same location. What a wonderful treat!!!

But I just noticed that even though we are regular customers for years, I have never written a review under your Oddcha brand! Today we got the following: Mango Supreme - 100% as suggested. Very good, but next time I will ask for less sugar as it is my personal preference. Strawberry Milk Bar - My wife's order with less sugar. She enjoyed her drink, but forgot to add boba to her order... Just means we will be back for even more!! My daughter is a regular customer; she probably comes TOO often. I see from my past photos that she enjoys your Milk Tea Boba and Mango Brulee. Ambiance - Decent size location. Cool decor. Oddcha part of the business is to-go. Well, I have never seen people just come in and sit to just drink boba. Plenty of mall parking. The restaurant has indoor/outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is being built and I did not take any pictures as the contractor would have been in them. Free wifi but I did not use it. The restaurant has a Gluten Free menu available upon request. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8:30pm. Closed Sundays. Service - Great system, congrats! Easy online ordering. A text message when the order is done and it was on time! Slight confusion when we arrived to pick up. As the scarf of the bear covered our name and order #, lol. So the poor guys had to check every single order for our order. Can I suggest lowering the slip on the bottle...? But the guys were friendly and inviting. Also hard workers as this was a busy time of day. Oh - You NEED a tip jar; I just handed them a cash tip. Price - $13 each + generous tip. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality or really for the cute bear bottle, lol. My wife wants to save it and bring it with our travels (I hope NOT). Owner Comment - You have a location in San Rafael, CA...? Congrats on Thai Lotus success for the last 19+ years and with this new concept and two locations. We have been customers of Oddcha for years, just see our pictures posted on your Thai Lotus Yelp page. :)

They had two options: Taro/Ube or Buko Pandan. I went with the Buko Pandan (if you know, you know). And my husband got the Tiger smoothie. The halo halo isn't the traditional dessert where you use a spoon and eat it, BUT I love the convenience of it being a drink and using the same ingredients anyway. I do like the Buko Pandan flavor so next time I'm going to try the Ube. The Tiger smoothie was also really delicious! You can taste both the Thai tea and the milk. It was on the sweeter side, but was still pretty delicious. There was only one employee working the store so it did take a while because a lot of other people showed up after us. But I'll definitely be back to try more things!
