    This is probably my favorite SA bubble tea spot. I really enjoyed my cucumber lychee tea. That flavor combo is quite refreshing when it's hot. It's spacious and clean and drinks arrived quickly. The brown sugar Thai tea was okay, not our favorites and the boba was too chewy and hard. We will probably stick to fruit drinks sans boba in the future.

    Love the De Zavala Artea. It's a really nice spot to study or hang out, and there are tons of outlets, which makes it easy to stay for a while. The vibe is chill and comfortable without being too loud. The drinks are solid, and the bear cup alternative is such a fun, unique twist that makes it stand out from other boba places. Service is fast with the little beepers. Definitely a go-to spot when I want to get work done and treat myself.

    I got a red velvet milk tea and a side of pot stickers. They were both very yummy. The pot stickers were by far some of the best I've had. The milk tea was a bit much and I couldn't finish it all. Next time I will opt for the next size down. Overall a pleasant visit.

    I took Dad to an annual exam in the Medical Center area. We decided to have dinner @drinkartea DeZavala tonight. I gave Dad the Wintermelon Lime Auyi Basil, which doesn't have caffeine. Hubby had the Old Time Taiwanese Fruit Tea, and I had the Strawberry Milk Tea. We shared the delicious Gua Bao, Honey Bacon Chicken Bento, Pineapple Shrimp Bento, and Taiwanese Rice Noodle. Everything was fantastic as usual. You should check it out if you haven't already. @drinkartea is one of the AAPI participating restaurants. If you have the AAPI Passport, you get 10% off. There's also another location in Culebra Commons.

    Made my purchase to go, oh my this is a lot but so good!! My daughter ordered the garlic tonkotsu ramen and she enjoyed it however she did advise for next time she may request to not add the pork. She wasn't a fan of the pork. I also ordered the Crème Brûlée Latte with oolong and almond milk OMG DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED Service is always great here as well.

    I'm not much of a tea person, but when I saw they have Asian food, I was intrigued. I took my teenager for lunch a couple days ago. He got a California roll and I got the honey bacon bento box which came with the chicken, fried rice, pickled cucumber slices, and I chose an egg roll between that and a rangoon. The rice was great. The egg roll was very good. The chicken, surprisingly, was not very flavorful. It looked yummy, but I didn't get much flavor from neither honey nor bacon. We got teas also, but since I'm not a regular drinker, my opinion is muted...I thought they were ok. My order taker was kind and polite, but the gal "delivering" the food didn't smile. Also, I sat in the bench seat which was hard and uncomfortable and in need of some minor repair. The ambiance is modern and bright.

    My go to place for teriyaki chicken! Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I've dined in and ordered out with Artea a number of times and have never had a bad experience. The store is always packed yet clean, the boba is consistently at a good consistency and never over sweetened, the tea flavors range from classic to fun and unique but are all executed so well, and the food is downright addicting. I cannot recommend this business enough, but be careful! Once you've had their Teriyaki Chicken Don there's no going back!

    Winter Melon Lime Aiyu with Basil Seed, way too sweet.
    Shayla P.

    Ordered the Wintermelon Lime Aiyu Basil, this drink is sickeningly sweet. The bobarista said the sugar or ice can't be adjusted without offering an explanation, and was also unwilling to replace the drink for a different one. She had a slight attitude. I would not recommend this drink, diabetes in a cup. Came here to do work as well, and the tables are not clean.

    Definitely one of my favorite boba spots in San Antonio! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Their food is just as impressive. Their Taiwanese dishes and Asian fusion plates are consistently tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a great place to relax and hang out with friends.

    Poke Nachos
    Amanda L.

    I'm backkkkkk. This time the wifi did work! I went two days in a row and ordered food. First day: got the teriyaki chicken bowl with fried rice and the popcorn chicken. Both were kinda mid and made me question if I liked this place. Popcorn chicken looks like a lot but it's a lot of batter pieces with no chicken. Teriyaki was okay just a bit too saucy and too much compared to the ratio of fried rice. Boba is solid as always Day 2: ordered wayyyy better. Phoenix wings were phenomenal, flavors on point and the green onion in the crab rangoon was lovely. The soft boil egged was cooked to perfection and the sauce on the wings is so good I could i eat it plain with the rice. Carrot salad was odd at first but grew on me. Poke nachos were chefs kiss. Kinda messy to eat while studying BUT huge pieces of fish with the best crunch and surprising spice. 10/10 on this order

    Pudding Boba Milk Tea, Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Bento, Poke Nachos
    Francene M.

    Artea will ALWAYS be my go-to boba spot; I just wish they had more than 2 locations They serve Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it's ACTAULLY good with differing spice levels The boba pearls are always so soft and fresh when I order my drink It's hard to find a boba shop that serves freshly made pearls My go-to meal: poke nachos , Taiwanese popcorn chicken bento box , and pudding boba milk tea They also have an app that you can download to earn rewards points and order ahead of time I love their food so much that I've joked and was semi serious when telling my husband that I should submit an application to work at one of their locations just so I can have the food more often Thank you, Artea, for always filling my stomach and giving a warm hug to my heart with the amazing food and drinks you guys serve!

    100 health scores
    Darlene R.

    Wow! I never would have guessed that Artea sold food! But boy do they! And it's great. Such a variety of dishes and stand out flavors. I would now consider them to be one of the best choices for Asian food. You order from the counter and they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. Service is quick and friendly. The space is clean and comfortable. They had a 100 rating on the health department score . I had the bacon fried rice which was a bit bland at first but came alive with just a spot of soy sauce. Friends had the teriyaki chicken which was delish, potstickers , edamame and sushi which was all excellent! Now that I know that Artea is a full service restaurant and not just a boba tea spot, I'll be back for sure.

    I've been wanting to check out this spot for a while now. I came here with a colleague on a weekday for lunch. Here you have self service. We ordered pineapple shrimp, Taiwanese popcorn chicken and takoyaki. All the dishes were flavorful and yummy. Before I was about to leave I ordered the creme brulee boba tea and boy it was so good! Also it packed a ton of sugar. I definitely recommend this place!

    Do the pot stickers have meat in them?

    Hi Rebecca, yes it does. The fillings are chicken and vegetables.

    What are your low calorie or sugar free options please?

    Hi Theresa, most of our drinks in Loose Leaf, Milk Tea or Latte can be made with 0 sugar for those guest who prefer to use own sweetener. Hope it helps :)

    What are your dairy free, milk tea options? When I first went I was disappointed to see that there wasn't an option, but it sounds like that may have changed.

    Hi Michelle, great question! We use non-dairy in our milk tea series, almond milk are also available in our latte series. Feel free to call us at 210 462 1388, we love to navigate the menu with you!

    Do they serve brown sugar boba? Or just the usual bobas?

    Hi Vicki! We do serve Okinawa Kokuto Brown Sugar Boba Latte, with boba bathed in special kokuto sugar bath :)

A few years ago it was Pho. So, I do have a favorite, but I still need to try new places. Well, I am, & this place is pretty phenomenal. The inside is so sweet & simple. You feel real comfortable & peaceful being in there I found them just by driving through the parking lot looking for Holy Pops for a Yelp Elite event. I wanted to try them out, & I'm so happy I did. They exceed my expectations. I walked in & was greeted by one of the waitresses, I let her know it would be a to go order, but I've never been there. She explained how things could be ordered. Steamed vs fried, for example. I regret not snapping photos of the menu, but they have one online. For that matter my food was consumed before a single photo was taken. (That's how you know it's good! At least with me! ) I went with an order of pan fried dumplings, an order of pan fried pork bao, & one order steamed pork bao. Do not be in a rush when you come. Everything is made fresh. You want it to be. Oh my goodness. These bao are amazing. The dough is the perfect thickness, IMO. The meatball inside though mine were a little larger than a golf ball. Juicy, flavorful & couldn't get enough. Made me want a dozen!. Just don't have the stomach to eat that many. Means I'll have to make more trips. The dumplings, pan fried - were so delicious. Again, piping hot! I'd say the little meatball was about half the size of the bao one. I ordered the shrimp, pork & lamb dumplings (I think. ) They had shrimp in them though. And they were amazing Okay, so me saying all my food was piping hot - here's the thing - this place is on Stone Oak, I live in the Brooks City Base area, it was still piping hot when I got home. Y'all know the traffic in this city right now! Don't waste anymore time. Go check them out. Wanna know about the staff? I'll continue! So, my order took about 25 minutes. Okay I ordered a lot, the place was full also, & again everything is made fresh. Oh! Also,you can watch them make it all. The two waitresses & the waiter checked on me often, - (when I came in. I sit in my car most of the time & inform them. Then, I just come sit down.) They apologized & I explained I make this food, I understand & am happy to wait, just means it'll be good. And boy was it!!!!

My friend ordered the lamb soup and lamp dumplings, which I was scared to try due to past experiences. Surprisingly, lamb dumplings was a huge hit! I would order that over the pork shrimp chive dumplings. There's a juicy sweetness to the flavors that captivated me. I do say, their noodles, although the menu says wide, they are pretty medium sized thickness. For a Saturday lunch time, it wasn't super busy and the service was on par.

We ordered 2 cocktails, a lemonade and a mocktail - that took 15 minutes longer than everyone else so the toast to the grad who ordered it was delayed as appetizers came out before her drink Timing was also way off - we were asked what appetizers we wanted shortly after being seated and when we did order and told them we would start with the smaller bites and order the mains for later - everything came out at the same time except for one dish that was way later than everything else So before food let's talk service - it was a special graduation meal and though the food was good - the service is enough to make me not want to go back. The server was just socially awkward, was not able to converse and seemed to struggle with every aspect of the role! We spent over 20 minutes trying to flag her - then anyone down- just to order a soda as the mocktail was not good! We wanted second drinks but as there was no service to be found - we gave up. Dishes were dumped on the table by whoever brought them as we then sat with dirty / empty dishes throughout the meal except for the one or two we gave back and the one with food in it that was taken! Things got weird when we asked to bag up two dishes when the server seemed to really get confused and had to take time for her process and ignored the dessert order - then came to the table and asked if we wanted dessert!?!! She was very pleasant but the role of a server might not be best for her! Now the food however was a solid 5 - the chili crisp crab burrata was one of the best dishes I have had anywhere ! The garlic sticky noodles were also fantastic , loved the smashed cucumber, the impossible pot stickers were not as good as in the past as they were cold and chewy - almost as though they had been made days ahead and were stale! The mapo tofu was great and we have plenty left over and my husband and daughter enjoyed the cashew chicken! We love the quaint setting, great playlist and fantastic food but service throughout from the server to the folks expediting dishes was substandard ! For this reason would hesitate returning in a hurry!
