When 10X first came onto the scene, it quickly stood out as one of the better bubble tea spots in town. They had a major edge over competitors (#1) thanks to a spacious and pretty interior, while managing to appeal to business groups, showcasing an IG-friendly decor, and serving tasty drinks. Then something happened in the last year, and the hours fluctuated wildly over the last few months, socials were inconsistent, and phones went unanswered. By all accounts, it appears they've been closed since the start of 2026. Their Vietnamese coffees were one of the reasons I loved coming here. The Vietnamese coffee with sea salt foam, in particular, was a standout -- strong, rich, and just sweet enough to make each sip satisfying. The space itself was a big draw. They offered a private area for meetings, conferences, small events, along with very reliable WiFi. It was an easy place to settle in, get some work done, and enjoy a drink. On top of that, they carried imported snacks (#2) and a range of hot food items from Vietnamese fried dishes to Japanese-inspired bar food. Unfortunately, things started to decline over time. Menu items gradually became more unavailable, staffing seemed to thin out, and the overall experience suffered. During one of my last visits, the air conditioning wasn't working , and customers had to manually turn on fans just to make the space bearable. The owners were among the friendliest folks I've met, and it felt like once they became less involved, maintaining the original standards became a challenge for the remaining staff. It's a shame the business had to close, but I hope the space is eventually taken over by something that can live up to what 10x once offered. ___________ (#1) Bubble tea biz is among the most saturated in the city, especially in Chinatown. (#2) Shoutout to the Irvin's Salted Egg Salmon Skin. read more

This boba tea lounge feels like the ultimate place to sober up, except that it's only open until 11. They have several kinds of seating inside including tables, sofas, and little chairs. We got our order within about six minutes, sharing a Fresh Artichoke Pandan Tea with Grass Jelly, Aloe Vera, Basil Seed, and Rainbow Crystal Boba. The best way I can describe this drink is like liquified Vietnamese chè. Not that sweet, nice textures, good fruitiness. They also sell ramen here, which are made in little machines that let you choose your style of pack ramen (so like a self-serve ramen bar). We noticed some small bugs around the sofa seating area. An unfortunate likely random occurrence of Houston summers. A random aside, but the boba themed plushies here are also surprisingly reasonably priced.. $20 for medium plushie, $25 for a large one, and $45 for the huge ones. The decor is very Instagram friendly with the lounge name in a leafy exhibit. read more

My family and I went to 10X Boba Tea Lounge since it was nearby our favorite ramen place. We ordered two drinks to split amongst the four of us, the Sea Salt Foam Vietnamese Coffee and the Mango Yogurt Smoothie, since it was featured as some of their Top 10 bestselling items. The inside of the store is clean and has comfy seating (with even a couch and claw machine). The iced coffee was smooth and slightly bitter. The amount of sea salt foam was just enough to complement the subtle sweetness of the milky coffee. Everyone really liked the combination of flavors achieved through a simple set of ingredients. The mango yogurt smoothie was my personal favorite of the two though. I enjoyed how well the tangy-ness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the mango went together. The taste was reminiscent of mango lassi, except the texture was a bit different because they mixed in real mango pieces as well! This would probably be the perfect drink for the summer. We enjoyed our drinks and hope to come back soon to try more! read more

10X Boba Tea Lounge - Vietnamese Coffee With Sea Salt Foam and Mango Yogurt Smoothie With Fruit Bits - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I can't believe I haven't tried 10X Boba tea lounge until now! The drink selection here is quite unique, there are some that stood out to me like dragon fruit peach, lychee rose. I love that their fruit teas include real fruit pieces. I have tried the pineapple mango green tea which has pieces of mango. Rose lychee green tea has several whole lychees. Dragon fruit peach green tea has bits of peaches. Every drink I've tried here has been good so far! This shop is super cute with all the boba plushies on their merchandise wall. The tables, chairs & seating area are very clean. They also have a conference room. I love the concept of a ramen bar where you cook your own ramen, even though I don't see myself eating instant ramen when I'm in this area. I would like to try a few items on their appetizers menu though - next time! read more

I liked that this spot was in a shopping complex that wasn't as packed as the one across the street. So, I was able to find parking. Inside, I really appreciated the amount of space and seating available. There were sofas, seat cushions, bar stool seating, and table seating. I loved the cute boba plushies lining the shelves. They're a bit pricey, but you can purchase and take them home with you if you really like them. They have cute little keychains on sale too. Now, on to the drinks! My whole family ordered their Vietnamese coffee with sea salt foam. The coffee was strong and creamy. It was delicious. But, I wish there a smaller cup size so I didn't get as much of a caffeine hit. I couldn't sleep at all after drinking this. At the less sugar option, the drink was also a bit too sweet for my liking. Next time, I'll order this drink at no sugar level and less ice. Of note, we could've also ordered their coffee through their kiosk next to the ordering counter. Next time. They do also have other drinks and snacks available. So, I'll need to try them out sometime. Overall, we really enjoyed this boba spot and are glad we have a new boba spot replacement for The Bunny Tea (RIP). read more

This wait time was truly extensive for a drink. Be prepared to wait 30mins. This is in a good location however

Cool ambience and friendly servers. Saturdays seems to be vendors day when vendors come in and take over the store to sell other things so there will be limited seatings. They took over Modern Tea; which definitely has a different vibe. Before, it was modern and simple. Now, it's a younger vibe with a study room or a conference room. Same or similar furnitures as before but things are much more crowded now. If you're not familiar with this area, it's in the same parking lot as H-mart and share their parking lot with many other businesses in the plaza. Pandan mochi waffle reminds me of Vietnamese waffle but much thicker. Lacks in flavors but color is more potent. Not sure if I would get it again but wasn't bad either. Perhaps a different flavor. Butterfly Pea Matcha Latte (Fresh Milk) is pretty and flavorful. Something I would get again. It's green even after mixing! Great drink for a pick me up. I don't recommend getting it at night unless you plan on studying all night long. Boba (tapioca) is little in quantity compare to other places but still soft and chewy. Since this boba shop isn't crazy far from the all girl's private school, I can see it being busy after school with a bunch of students taking over the study/conference room to study or doing group projects while sipping on tasty, pretty drinks and snacking on whatever high school kids snack on these days or real estate/insurance agents nearby stopping by for a quick, casual business meeting or snacks. read more

This boba store definitely has one of the most beautiful decorations I have ever seen. There is a small conference room where meetings could be held. There is also a desktop, and a printer for everyone to use. The setup is perfect for informal business meetings. There is a self-service kiosk which you can order your drinks from. They have some snacks for sale too. I had the hot taro milk tea, and premium black milk tea. The taro milk tea was way too sweet. There was taro flavor but I could not taste any milk tea. The same is for the black milk tea; sweet but no presence of black milk tea. On the fence if I should give other drinks a try. read more

This was one of my favorite places they had this coconut juice with aloe jelly I was obsessed with. I went every week for my drink - I'm so sad they closed!

This spot use to be called modern tea & now it's under a new ownership. I got to speak with the owner "Christian". He was extremely nice & passionate about his work. I thought the decor was beyond beautiful and well put together. It's spacious & instagram worthy. I decided to order two of their drinks, which are the mango fruit green tea & pineapple fruit green tea. The pineapple was decent, just wish it had more pineapple flavor but the tea flavor was strong. The mango tea was refreshing and the tea flavor was predominant. Whomever their vendor is definitely provides some high quality tea. The owner was kind enough to let me try some samples. I tasted their Jasmine milk tea, taro milk tea & Thai tea. The Jasmine milk tea was fantastic. It was flavorful, refreshing & sweet without it taking away the tea flavor. The taro milk tea & Thai tea was good, I just wish their taro drink actually had tea in it, but it didn't. I decided to order their jasmine milk tea to go & Christian said it was on the house, I appreciate that a lot. Overall it was an awesome experience, the drinks were a 4/5 but the service was beyond exceptional so for that I'll give it a 5. They also have an area where you can grab some snacks, a computer for you to use & a little meeting room for you to study. I'm glad that it's not the same owner from the previous name "modern tea". Service was utter garbage & so were the drinks. Anywho, I can't wait to come back and try their watermelon & coconut juice. read more

The store is called "10X Boba," but it should really be called "10X Sweetness." We ordered three drinks at 25% sugar, but they tasted more like 250%! If you're looking for a sugar rush, this is the place. If you're looking for balance, health, or anything diabetes-friendly -- stay far away. Cool looking place, large room, and cool picture spots. read more

Good flavors for the fruit teas and I really enjoyed the real fruit chunks, but my dragon fruit peach tea was wayyyy too sweet even at the lowest sugar option, and this was true for all the other teas we ordered. The avocado shake was also mostly condensed milk and barely tasted like avocado. I would normally give this place a 4/5 but with so many better options literally minutes from here it ends up being a 3/5. read more

This is a super cute boba shop that is aesthetic with various styles of seating to fit your liking. They have very comfortable seats that were great since I usually study for long periods of time when I visit boba establishments. They also have free printing and good Wi-Fi, which I also really appreciated as a student. I got the butterfly pea matcha latte based off of recommendations from the Yelp community. It was good but a tad bit sweet and I usually am the person that doesn't adjust the sweetness level. The service was great and the bobaristas were super friendly and made my drinks in a quick manner. You can order with the kiosk or with the bobaristas. The bobaristas will give you a device that will vibrate when your drink is ready or you will receive a text message if you order with the kiosk. I have not been back in a while to study because they frequently have various events going on; however, they seem very fun and I hope to have the chance to go to one. read more

I went to 10x boba at around 730pm on a Saturday night. I ordered from the kiosk and thr employee then tells me that they are out of boba at 10x boba! The employee was not going to make any more boba even though they have 3 more hrs left to open. What kind of boba shop would not make any more boba when there are 3 more hrs left to closing. This place should rename itself to ZeroXboba. read more

Beautiful place with tons of couches to lounge in. Came during Christmas and the decorations really brightened up the place. However, the teas my friends and I ordered were all too sweet. The honey flavoring was great but even at the low sweetness customization, I found the drinks hard to finish without diluting. read more

While I can't speak for the other drinks, I would argue this place has the best basic milk teas in Houston! Specifically, their jasmine and black milk tea are amazing. Being from CA, I've had an absurd amount of boba throughout the west coast. Since moving here, I've been on the hunt for the best places. The milk teas at 10x were not too sweet with a noticeable tea flavor. I also liked that the dairy wasn't overwhelming and there was no off after taste that I sometimes find in drinks due to the water quality they use. The boba had good texture as well(although it does have some room for improvement). The drinks were reasonable priced too compared to many places here. Beyond that, the place was cute with nice decor and plenty of parking in a busy plaza. There's lots of seating and the premises were clean. read more

Worst most complicated snack/ boba shop I've seen. When I try to do a quick snack or boba or stop for a break and do some quick reading we like shops that are quick and efficient. This is our first time and wanted to try their drinks and was wanting a snack. Thought yay to ramen. We love Tiger den & even San Dong noodle shop near by. Not only is it so complicated to ring up our order, but we have to make our own noodles. And it's $2 packaged noodles that we got 2 of and paid $17.30! Such a rip off and I asked for an extra empty bowl so my little kid could split with sister. The lady said for an empty paper bowl it's gonna be full price?! Not paying $6.99+tax for an empty bowl. Good thing: Because of the complicated nature of the check out (drinks MUST BE order on kiosk & RAMEN orders must be taken separately with cashier) I guess it works because we ended up not using the kiosk for the drinks we wanted and will be going to R&B tea near San Dong for our tea stop after making this darn noodles that I have to cook myself. They should have order process combined into one where we could order drinks with the human cashier too. Maybe a friendlier more accommodating person would make a better impression for a first timer to come back and support the business also. I like to have spoons with my noodles. They don't even have that here. So many components missing with with place: service, quality of food/ snacks, and basic utensils. I guess that's why this place is usually empty. One time trial for me and the kiddos and won't be coming back again. read more

This place definitely leans heavy on aesthetic. The interior is very nice and spacious with lots of seating options as well as a private conference room and a printer. There's also a wall of plushies and keychains for sale that definitely drew my eye when I first walked in. I ordered one of their specialty drinks, and it was alright but not worth the $7+ that it came out to. As with many more modern boba stores, I don't think the drinks are bad but definitely overpriced in my opinion. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star for me. I enjoyed my jasmine green milk tea. I got it 50% sweet & it was perfect. I really enjoyed the tea flavor. The Thai tea smoothie was good but nothing different than your usual Thai tea you would get anywhere else. I would say they don't have that many selections of drinks though & the drinks are on the mid-to-pricy side. The inside is really big/spacious. You could definitely study in here! They also have a printer if you need to print stuff. There are food/dessert options & a snack wall but I didn't get to try their other desserts yet! read more

We tried this place on a whim a few weeks ago and wasn't a huge fan. The decor inside is nice and they also have a designated study room if you're needing some quiet time. The boba consistency was off and we instantly regretted not going to our usual boba place (Kung Fu Tea). The drinks itself were okay but the boba just wasn't made right. We ran into one of our patients there and she told us that her drink wasn't good either. Also, a friend of ours even asked for our opinion about this place and we advised her to go elsewhere but she still ended up wanting to give 10X a try and then later texted us saying "no bueno." read more

The food's pretty good. Of course, it's just ramen. That's why it'd be impossible to screw up. The service is also lightning fast. Like, it's quick. And ambiance is really spacious. I posted this review for a free drink, so my actual thoughts are a 4/5 due to the loud speakers. read more
