Good drinks, clean atmosphere, I've tried the chicken teriyaki dinner and it's every appetizing,

I really love the tea here but some things hold me back from a 4-star review. One is the boba is extra and for the price, i feel it should be included. For the price, I could go to other places and not need to pay extra for boba. Second, this place is popular and packed, so it takes forever, even if you order ahead, to get your order. Third, every time I order food, they get my order wrong. But I STILL DRINK here because didn't you read at the beginning? I love the tea. read more

A friend and I made our way here for lunch on a Sunday. The restaurant was clean and the staff were nice. I was pleasantly surprised to find they had added sushi to the menu as well as some new drinks. I got the peach tea, my new favorite! I always come here when I'm in the mood for the pork belly don and honey glazed chicken bites specifically. We also ordered tonkotsu ramen. I have to say that the food and drinks are consistently great every single time. read more

Was skeptical to try because it looked like overly fancy bubble tea, but turns out it was very delicious! The butterfly pea tea is the perfect mix of sweet and sour and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken was unexpectedly on point. I am wary of tea places also having food but their food is pretty damn good from what I've tried. Keep it up guys! read more

Artea - Butterfly Pea Special - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Pretty good bubble tea place with an extensive menu. I got the grapefruit green tea which had grapefruit slush on top and the jasmine green tea mixed with grapefruit juice at the bottom. This was SOOO refreshing and perfect for a nice warm day. Grapefruit green tea is my go to order, so I was happy to see it done right. It was a little on the pricey side but the drink was pretty large. It was busy when I went, so there was a bit of a wait to get my drink. Overall, it was a good experience and I would come back again and try some of their other drinks. read more

Boba drinks are amazing as I've never encountered a location with a variety of fruit choices and how the orange peel is candiedthe food is delicious and the meats very proportioned. read more

This place is always packed! My mom and I are hooked on there strawberry mango tea. Nice place to stop by in the evenings to enjoy the beautiful weather read more

Boba was refreshing it's not just a Boba shop they have great finger food. The Pork Belly Sliders is amazing. The Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and the Win Wings were awesome as well. You should definitely give this place a try. read more

Good variety of boba drinks and stylish cafe. This is our go to boba place in SA. They have an app where you can collect points for rewards which is a plus. Recommend if you are a fan of boba! read more

This is our second time coming here but first time during COVID. They don't allow anyone to dine in so it's curbside pick-up. I didn't realize I had to order my drinks through their app (learned something new) but it was very easy. I ordered grapefruit green tea with mango jelly while my husband ordered oolong tea with boba. The oolong tea was okay but the grapefruit green tea was bomb (but only if you like grapefruit which I do). I would get it again if we're in the area. They had our drinks ready within 10 minutes of ordering and service was great. The guy who gave us our drinks wore gloves, mask, and a face shield so they are taking the necessary precautions to stay safe. We'll be back! And unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of our drinks because we finished it before I could snap it haha. I would highly recommend coming here for your boba fix! read more

Whether you want a quick bite, a place to study, or you're looking to satisfy your boba craving, Artea is the place to be! I got the popcorn chicken and the Grapefruit Green Tea. The popcorn chicken is the perfect warm and savory snack/meal to accompany a sweet drink; I will say however, I have had better popcorn chicken in Houston, but it's good for what San Antonio has to offer. The Grapefruit GT was... omg... DELICIOUS. It's sweet with a bit of bitterness from the grapefruit, and I loved the pulpiness and fresh chunks of grapefruit. The drink is almost like a slush due to the crush ice they've used and I found it to be very refreshing. Not pictured here, but the applewood bacon fried rice is also very good! The rice was nicely cooked and tender and it was very aromatic because of the green onion and bacon. So filling and there was a generous portion to share with friends! Overall, I see myself coming here often to gather with friends or if I just need to get some work done. Great place for many different occasions. Highly recommend! read more

Artea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My daughter loves the tea! She orders her oolong milk tea with boba alllll the time. My app was not working and the lady was very kind, professional and quick. She resolved my issue with in 15 min and called me to inform me when I left. The food is delicious and the way they serve it is very nice because it feels like I'm in a fancy restaurant! Like something from a magazine or a movie. read more

Came here after hearing all the good praise. Loved the atmosphere and the staff was very helpful. I got the Applewood Smoked Bacon Fried Rice, the Teryaki Chicken Don, and a Passion Fruit Green Tea and while all 3 were great, the portion sizes were big enough for 2 people. So unless you plan on sharing or you can eat like a horse, better to stick with an appetizer. The Fried Rice was excellent and savory, The Teriyaki Chicken was a bit overcooked but was still yummy and the soft-boiled egg and rice it came with were cooked perfectly and were delicious. I didn't love the stir-fried cucumber slices too much, but they were ok. The Passion Fruit Green Tea was delicious. It tasted refreshing, flavorful, and a bit citrusy but VERY Sweet. It's a good thing you can control how much sugar they put into your drinks, so be sure to take advantage of that if you come here. Overall a good place to try out if you love boba or are looking to try something outside typical American Chinese food. :) read more

This place is the best place for sushi even if your not a sushi lover there is something for you. The service was friendly and they really know their menu. And the atmosphere is fun but still a little classy so good for any occasion. If I could give it more stars I would. read more

Great food!!! Love the edamame and the pot stickers!! Customer service is great too!!

The new Mango Drink is wonderful it'll probably make me a diabetic. The food is awesome. I recommend the wings, pot stickers or the udon. I wasn't impressed with the rice noodles as I was expecting a bit more protein in it. I've ordered from here on DoorDash four times in the last week read more

Returned and had their new Taiwanese noodles which was delicious with Chinese mushrooms which gives it a great umami taste. The pork belly bun was back to being excellent with perfectly braised pork belly and topped with sweetened crushed peanuts and cilantro. I also tried their Taiwan fruit tea with dragon fruit boba and it is my new go to boba drink so refreshing and tasty. Plus I love the app with the rewards. read more

Good food, service is like a Boba place. Keep in mind that these are like appetizers or tapas. If you like to share and have variety it is awesome. Ambiance is what it is. read more

this place was new so we hit the soft opening and yummmmm. drinks were great. food was great. they should definitely add a water station cuz waiting at the bar for water is lame. otherwise, the food was so good and we tried a handful of apps! (see pics!) and i saw someone complaining about the menu. its san antonio. asian fusion is taking over the world so i dont care that they had all the different types of asian food. i liked the variety actually. i also didnt think it was overpriced, seemed very reasonable to me. read more

We got the Okinawa Kokuto and Signature Milk Tea. Both were very good and I would recommend coming here for a refreshing drink!!

Their food is delicious especially the Yaki udon! Definitely will be coming back. The hibiscus tea and strawberry latte are also great. Great little joint! read more

Amazing boba tea and popcorn chicken! We also got the dumplings and they were one of the best ones we have tried in San Antonio. The popcorn chicken was pleasantly crispy and had an amazing flavor. 10/10 would come here again. read more

Delicious food. Very shareable too. It is not a sit down restaurant so recommend you peruse the menu in line before you get there so you are more prepared. Also ordered green tea latte which was delicious. read more

I loved the teas but the food was meh. Their rice was dry and hard. Their meat seemed old, it was cold and bland. It was not authentic or yummy seemed like I could have gotten their food at panda express. I rated it 4 stars however because you go there for their boba drinks not their food. Their boba was on point! read more

Delicious! Will definitely be a regular customer! We had the bao buns and chicken pot stickers and will be back for more! Some of the best bao buns I have ever had! read more

I'm addicted for sure. Best milk tea in town. I got the bonsai milk tea, and it was so delicious. The place is usually packed, but they try to get your order out as fast as possible. read more

Best surprise ever! Absolutely live the fun items on their menu! We tried a couple and both are exquisite! They're not super sweet as other places tend to be, which was great for me. The place is set up really nicely and the staff was very friendly. I can't wait to come back to try them all! read more

Talk about customer service! I forgot that I had ordered a drink ahead of time and was unable to pick up and artea called me! After I explained I was not able to go get it they refunded me!!!! Y'all this usually doesn't happen elsewhere. And they have the best boba tea in the city along with great Taiwanese popcorn chicken. read more

I have been ordering delivery from here for the last few months. I order the teriyaki chicken don and it is delicious! The pickled cucumber on the side just tops it off. Their milk tea is wonderful and I love that they give you the option for how much sugar you want added to it. So far I have never received a badly tasting or packaged order. read more

Drinks were amazing! The wait times were long cause of the popularity, but overall the drinks keep me going back! The service is excellent, and very friendly environment with outdoor seating available. The drink pictured below is the Oolong Milk Tea sweet, but tastey mixed with boba is the perfect refreshment you need. My favorite drink though is hands down the Okinawa Kokuto Sugar Boba Latte. Only giving 4 stars because I haven't tried the food items. read more

Artea - Artea Oolong Milk Tea - Large - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Pretty disappointing. The popcorn chicken was bland and desperately needed some kind of interesting seasoning or sauce. The beef udon didn't have much flavor either, basically a large bowl of slightly-off miso with water logged noodles. The asha mala noodles were underwhelming as well, just a small pile of barely flavored noodles mixed with corn kernels (the menu promised "vegetables") and an egg - I'd strongly suggest a side serving of meat if you're hungry. The pudding tea wasn't too bad, and service was okay but not great. We might stop by to try another tea or the taro shake but aren't impressed by the food. read more

The food here is AMAZING! I randomly decided to try ordering this on doordash for the first time and im so glad i did! Will definitely go in person and be a reoccurring customer :) read more

The tea was AMAZING. Definitely in my top two of boba shops in San Antonio. You can really taste the difference with the sugar cane syrup which they use. I've heard a lot of rave reviews about their popcorn chicken so I definitely have to try that the next time I visit! I wish there were more outlets by the walls so students can study there! read more

Artea - Matcha frappe with egg custard and winter melon black tea with egg custard - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

During COVID I got the luxury of visiting San Antonio and let me tell you..ARTEA WAS THE SPOT!! I came here so much, i loved and enjoyed everything I got! The service was fantastic, the owner is AMAZING & the drinks & food are SO good! I stopped by once a week at least for some drinks and would take home some chicken just because. Their bear shaped jelly was adorable and their butterfly pea is my FAVORITE! I'm so sad because I'm currently back in Dallas and I miss Artea, the staff and all the drinks so much:( I can't wait to be back!! read more

I was never a fan of bubble tea, until recently. After being introduced to how customizable these drinks can be, how many flavors there are, I quickly realized what all the hype was about. With that, it was very exciting to have Artea open up a 2 minute drive from my house! For their soft opening, I've already visited three times. It might be surprising then why I'm only giving 2 stars. Allow me to elaborate. THE GOOD, the food and drinks are very flavorful. There's a pretty good selection of teas. Food is somewhat limited but that's because a smaller menu is offered for their soft opening. The facility is very clean, bright, vibrant and the workers are always pleasant. THE BAD, pricey pricey pricey. Two drinks, a small dish and a plate got me a $40 tab! Yikes!!! Just for some chicken, fries and veggies, quick food shouldn't cost this much. THE UGLY, drinks are advertised as made fresh. However, a employee had told us that some drinks cannot be customized because they are brought in FROZEN and PREMADE! Sounds and looks like false advertising to me. This also takes away from the experience, changing your drink to the exact specifications you desire. Artea is good yet far from great. Maybe during their official opening, some of these things will change. read more

THE place to get boba in North/Northwest San Antonio. The drinks are legit, there's a wide selection of foods, good wifi, plenty of seating for individuals and groups, and two bathrooms. My favorites: Oolong milk tea with pudding, 70% sweet. Taiwanese popcorn chicken (it's enough for a meal), and Beef Udon. Mm. read more

The drinks are a bit overpriced for what you get. The flavors were alright, and they do give you a good amount of popcorn chicken.

drinks: I love the Okinawa sugar milk tea! It is soooo good! Although for the price it is kind of small--especially when compared to the other drinks but still highly recommend trying this one. Even my fiancé who typically doesn't love brown sugar milk teas also loved this one. Have tried their mango passion fruit slush- also very good. The taro slush is good to. It is different than other places because they use a fresh taro instead of powder so it is a bit grainy but still very taro-ey! Food: The popcorn chicken and bacon fried rice are both very good as well. Pros: - good food and drinks -great spot for late night snacks - board games available such as catan to play. - lots of parking available. -friendly staff -all food are shareable sizes. Fairly priced too Cons: -The service is kind of slow... but will probably get faster with time since they are new (been during both busy and non busy times) -no jelly toppings available LOL Overall I am obsessed with the Okinawa sugar milk tea! Will return for sure! read more

This is my new favorite boba place!!!! I came with a couple of my friends and ordered their bacon fried rice and popcorn chicken. I also tried the beef udon from a friend and WOW. For a boba place, their beef udon was very tasty. Noodles were perfectly cooked, beef was tender, and the broth was heavenly. I was also worried about the fried rice being too salty, but it was just the right amount of saltiness. I ordered their matcha frappe with egg custard and my friends ordered the lychee tea and Okinawa sugar tea. SO GOOD!! If you're ever in the area and are deciding on a place for a quick lunch and a sweet drink, come here, you will not regret it! read more

Artea - Bacon fried rice & popcorn chicken feat. a matcha frappe - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I felt the need to write a review after my visit on Sunday. I regular Artea and last Sunday was the busiest I ever saw it. I placed my order on the mobile app and it still took around 45 minutes ? Why? Because it's AMAZING and the amount of orders exceeded capacity even with lots of folks on the floor so it took them longer to make. While I was waiting on my drink I witnessed several people that were rude to the staff. One even asked to speak to the manager and was upset whenever the manager didn't offer something for free. She made a scene JUST to make a point and be rude. The manager handled the situation well while the lady stormed off. I saw the staff working their butts off and didn't deserve the treatment that they got from the customers. This isn't sonic. It's authentic boba tea. I have a 5 star experience everytime I come, even if it means waiting a little longer for my food and drink. It's important more so now than ever to be kind and support our local businesses so that they can continue to grow. Don't come here if you're not willing to be patient or in a rush. They have a mobile app, so just don't hear that way until it says your order is complete. Keep up the great work Artea and don't let anyone get y'all down! read more
