I ordered Akihi on Uber eats and ordered crispy chicken, the Szechuan flavor and the Thai tea with coconut milk, and I added Boba. The chicken was absolutely phenomenal, the flavor was fantastic and the spice was just right . The Thai tea could have been a little stronger and it was lightly sweet. I added 70% sugar. I did not go in person so I don't know how the service is or the ambience but I have seen videos and it looks beautiful inside and I could only imagine how fantastic the service is.
Late night boba shop on College ave has solid boba and snacks. Crispy chicken with a little kick is addicting! Clean and esthetically pleasing ambiance.
Although the aesthetics are aestheticking, I feel like this spot is overpriced and a little gimmicky. They didn't have many options available when I went, but the bubble tea itself is very good. The wait was a little long, considering the place was empty and there were no other customers on a Monday morning. I personally think there are better, more authentic places without all the pizazz and up-charge. Still a cute spot to chill and hang out for a little bit.
Bright inside and welcoming. Largest bubble tea shop I've seen in a while. Conveniently located right off Highway 18. Check out kiosks available for Apple Pay. Quick service and ambiance is so nice and cozy. Will be back.
I first discovered this bubble tea shop in Metuchen and had a delightful experience. Recently, my friend informed me of another shop with the same name. He highly recommended this place but confessed he wasn't sure if it was the same place. We decided to try their classic original bubble milk tea to test the waters. When I inquired about the type of tea they use, the cashier said they use Ceylon Black Tea with non-dairy creamer and Lactaid Milk. I was thrilled to find it met my expectations. Next time, my husband and I will try some of their more innovative drinks, like the Big Bomb. They offer snacks at very reasonable prices, so I plan to come hungry and sample some of their bites. You can order your beverages and snacks via the kiosk or at the counter. The service is very friendly, and the place is quite clean. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
I would the crowd is definitely younger and could be a little noisy weekends, which is prob expected. There are games to keep everyone entertained while hanging out. Various drink and small plate options. Most folks are to go. The atmosphere impression changed since my first visit. The place didn't feel as modern or minimalist. I think the place needs to declutter a bit.
It is adorable inside here. There are maybe 6-7 tables and it's light and airy. You can order in person or at a kiosk. They have a great selection and I really loved how customizable the boba tea was; you can put the amount of sugar you want, kind of milk, add toppings, and choose the amount of ice. I got the jasmine milk tea and my son got the classic black milk tea. We each got boba in them and the boba was soft and chewy. We also tried the original egg waffle which was hot, light, crispy, and chewy all at once! We did not get any toppings, but they were very tempting. Will be back.
Absolutely delicious bubble tea in Metuchen Nj, great location with lots to do nearby. You can order via kiosk, very clean, nice sit down area but the windows, kid friendly. Really enjoyed the taro and black tea bubble tea. Crafted to perfection.
I'm so glad this placed open in East Brunswick. With tons of bubble tea shops in the Edison area, this is a welcome addition to this side of town. I hope East Brunswick starts building up the trendy places that's been lacking for so long. The interior has a calming , zen-like vibe. There are several kiosks to self-order. There are your standard boba drinks but there are also a few variations. You can customize sugar and ice levels. The size levels are all large. I like that they tell you the type of dairy used in each drink on the kiosk, whether it's non dairy creamer, lactose milk or whole milk. You can also substitute (for a fee) with alternative mills such as oatmilk and almond milk. We got the rose boba milk tea and mango slush. Both were good.
Super cute interior. It is modern with 15 people's worth of seating. Inside is gorgeous with a chill, wooden, simple vibe. There is soooo many variety of bubble tea ranging from fruity ones to classic tea ones. I suggest you have an idea of what you want beforehand or else you can be scrolling for a long time! You order on a digital kiosk, and then pick up your drink once you get a text message. Simple and fast and the boba was good!
As a lover of bubble tea, I am so glad I decided try something different today! At Akihi, I tried the ice cream milk tea with 50% sugar level, and it was a nice and creamy treat with excellent boba. I also had a taste of the brown sugar brulee, which was still nice and sweet at the lowest sugar level! The brown sugar flavor was so rich, and it was pretty cool watching them torch the top of the drink! Akihi also offers some savory items, and I tried the Taiwanese sausage and takoyaki. The Taiwanese sausage was decent and a bit spicy (I went with mild spice), though it didn't stand out to me much and I expected a little more based on the picture. The takoyaki was solid, though I feel like there was an excess of bonito flakes. The octopus inside was actually the perfect texture, though it is a very rich treat. In terms of ordering, you order at a screen towards the front of the shop, which I found very convenient. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the staff were very nice when I picked up my order. The interior of this place had such a relaxing vibe, and it was nicely lit with very cool stylistic choices. I even admired how the drinks looked aesthetically pleasing, and the lid on mine had a cool geometric shape. Plus, Akihi has a cool VIP program that involves collecting badges each day of the week at specific times to earn a discount card. I love how this store rewards loyalty, and I definitely see myself coming again for the delicious drinks!
I found a new bubble tea place in New Brunswick on rt 18. They have.a good list of different kind of drinks. We had taro related drink it was nice tasting and smooth drink. I would retiurn again.
Akihi has arrived in East Brunswick! Now a decent bubble tea can be had without heading into Edison. Minimalistic decor with simple chairs and short shareable tables as well as a couple of larger tables for working. Friendly and helpful staff. Ordered was a Classic Bubble Milk Tea at 30% sugar, no ice. Made with Ceylon black tea, non-dairy creamer and Lactaid milk. The beverage was tea forward with soft squishy tapioca boba's. It was good! With a menu filled various types of milk teas, fruit teas, slush, ice cream and snacks...a return visit will happen.
Stopped in briefly while i was in the area bc i was curious and my jaw truly dropped when i walked inside. This place is gorgeous! Very zen vibe, very relaxed, while also being warm and welcoming. There's a board game shelf with free to play games and lots of seating. It was pretty empty when i came because it was so early in the day, but as a result i got a button with my order-- you can collect all 7 by ordering early at certain times on each day of the week to join their vip program which gives you discounts and benefits. I ordered a peppermint jasmine tea and it was very delicious, refreshing, and minty! I also really liked that the cup is reusable and the price felt very affordable compared to most bbt shops! I immediately texted friends about this place bc it's so sweet looking, i want to go back! read more

So glad a bubble tea place has opened in East Brunswick! Conveniently located in a plaza off Route 18 with a parking lot with other stores like Five Below, Ulta, and Home Goods, Akihi is a great place to stop by for a drink. Walking in, we were instantly impressed by the decor and ambiance - a very modern and minimalistic feel. Bright and airy! They have a corner filled with games that you can take to your table and play. If you don't like to interact with people, this is the place for you. No greeting upon arrival - you just order at one of the kiosks and they text you when your order is ready and you can pick it up at the counter. Easy and fast! It's difficult for us to buy drinks at bubble tea shops that are both caffeine and dairy free, but Akihi delivers with several options. We opted for the Mango Slushie with Strawberry Popping Boba and it was delicious! There is only one size and it is pretty large. The cups are very high quality. It was expensive at almost $8 for one drink but felt worth it because of the ambiance. We stayed and played a card game before we left. Overall, would highly recommend! read more

We ordered online on our way home, and our order was ready before expected. They only have large sizes, but their prices are very fair. I ordered an almond milk boba and I'm so glad they offer alternative milks! It's still hard to come by boba places that do. The dragon fruit soda drink was also quite good, a bit sweet but with only one level of sugar available. read more
Management/service at this place is awful. I am counting macros/calories and simply asked if they would tell me how many ounces of milk and rose syrup they are using and the manager said to me "that gives away our recipe sorry we can't". How does telling me how much milk and syrup your putting give away ur recipe? I'm not asking you to give me the name of where u get your syrup from and bubble tea is literally milk and tea. If I don't have your tea or syrup flavoring I can't steal your damn recipe nor do I want to. All I wanted was the macros so I can continue my diet. Also, the taste of the rose milk tea was disgusting. Watered down with barely any rose taste. read more
Our first time coming here to try Boba drink. I would say I wasn't disappointed. We ordered big bomb and it was refreshing for 69F. The place is clean and soothing. It did feel relaxing since we were the only one. I am sure it can get noisy. The staff were friendly and guided us in placing order. I will definitely like to try more. I would like to know how are the ice creams. read more

So happy Akihi opened here close to South River. We are first time customers and upon going inside this establishment, we love the interior and vibe of this place. When you come in you place your own order and there's a lot to choose from the menu. Thank you again for choosing to open your business in this area, more blessings! Highly recommended, a must try! read more

I happened to be in the area on their grand opening day of this new East Brunswick location. Some may be familiar with the Metuchen location. I'm excited to see more bubble tea locations in the EB area. Opening day was 4/5/24, and things were running surprisingly smooth considering it was the day of the freak earthquake and a busy Friday night. Ordering is on a touch screen board. The selections are excellent, offering different levels of sweetness and a variety of milks, such as almond, coconut and oat. Besides milk teas, snacks are available. Customer service at drink/food pickup was great. This location is a lot more convenient than going up to Metuchen or Edison! The items met my expectations. They also have a great lid design with a cover over the straw hole. No messy punching through plastic cellophane. Live in the moment and drink bubble tea! read more
