    Thai chili Popcorn Chicken
    Cool P K.

    Our friend recommended this place and we enjoyed Tiger tea and pop corn chicken it last time. Tiger tea was good but still a bit sweet even with 25% digest. So we decided to come again and tried online order for Tiger dirty tea and thai chili popcorn chicken. The chili popcorn is great. Tiger dirty tea is perfect with a bit of brown sugar. Suggestion is not to order food online at all because you will still need to get in line to inform staff. Nothing on the order confirmation page says that customers are required to do so. Don't waste your time.

    We have been here quite a few times and always charmed by its interior designs, tasty drinks, as well as friendly service staff. My parents wanted to try something new this time, so they went for some more fancy matcha latte and milk tea drinks, and I opted for my usual fav. The lady helping us was super sweet and patient. And we all loved our drinks.

    first off wow, the people here were amazin. zen presentations beautiful very patient with helping select and try out the Boba. people skills and customer service made everyone feel welcome all different ages and skin shades very free

    Really good popcorn chicken plate  & boba

    Pretty good. I would come back again. Fries portion was great. As for boba me and my son both enjoyed ours.

    Oolong milk tea

    The milk tea plain, the boba is not fresh even though I purchased the drink around 11 am. The cup looks cheap and the straw is too small that you cant suck up the boba at all. Quite disappointed.

    Caramel Milky Way
    Christine W.

    The caramel Milky Way is very sweet! Looks prettier in person than in the picture tho. It's got cream, pudding, boba, and milk--all good things. Service is always good- cashier is usually quite friendly. People working hard to cook the meals are also kind when they bring out the food. The whole vibe of the place has changed over time but it's good.

    So good! We got the Dirty Tiger and Strawberry Oolong Tea. This place is cute and service was very fast! Reasonable prices as well! It's in a busy strip mall where Trader Joe's is so parking can be a bit busy but worth it!

    Since rebranding and some store changes in the Triangle, I will admit that Cha House Cary is my favorite location. The workers here tend to be more patient, and there's more inside seating if you're looking to catch up with a friend or get some work done. This time, I ordered my standard black milk tea with less ice and half sugar. I thought it was awesome that they gave me a dome cap because there was leftover liquid in the shaker. My drink was as good as boba can get in the Triangle!

    Spiced Chai for the win!

    Another cute tea house (and it has a prime location between two of my favorite places to be - Barnes & Noble and Trader Joe's!!!!). The Spicy Chai (regular milk, regular sweetener) was so delicious! The decor was nice, especially the swing in the back near the pickup area. Quick service too in spite of the place being nearly full. I enjoyed my beverage and will definitely be visiting this location again.

    Strawberry green tea with 25% less sugar and light ice
    Chandra J.

    Checked out the Cha House a while ago through a Yelp event and was planning to go back at some point as I really liked it! And I see why I did, Cha House's menu and service are great! I was a little overwhelmed by the number of options but was able to narrow it down to their cold teas. The strawberry sounded lovely, so I went with that! I like that there is an option to select the amount of sugar and ice. I went with 25% sugar and light ice and it was delicious! With less sugar, it still had a ton of flavor. When it was brought out to me, it came with such a sweet smile and greeting from the staff. It really made my day. Add to this the cool music and chill atmosphere. This is a great place to meet up with friends or read a book on your own. I will be back!

    Lavender earl grey milk tea
    Briana F.

    I got the lavender earl grey milk tea, it was very good! The service was fast and the place was nice to sit down and chat. Would definitely go back again!

    Love this place! Have you checked their condiment area? They have recycled napkins. I love going to this place. They are consistent and I love their atmosphere. This place brought me nostalgia of my university days back in Montréal. This was the kind of place where I used to study or met up for school projects. We would drink boba, order food and work. I have been to this place numerous times and everything is like the first time meaning their food, service and atmosphere never changed. My kids would beg to go here after a taekwondo tournament. I love how they serve their meal. It's in a carton compostable container so if you cannot finish your meal, you can take it home instead of asking for a container. As for boba, you can customize to your liking. Love this place! It's my go to place in Cary.

    Passion Fruit Tea w/out boba
    Katrina B.

    My son and I are dinner at the hotpot place a couple doors down. They get their tea from here. My son enjoyed his so much that we didn't to find them after dinner. The inside was so cute, clean and bright. It kind of reminds me of the high end places a lot of "influencers" frequent for TikTok or IG content. They young lady working the register was very sweet. I ordered a passion fruit tea with lychee and no boba. It tasted great. Right near the register thy have a flyer of some popular drinks. I really wish I had ordered something different based on the picture. Not that my drink wasn't good but those drinks looked absolutely delicious. They also serve food but we didn't order and since we just ate. I'll be back for sure. Next time we'll order food.

    Lychee with lychee jelly, strawberry matcha, and lychee green tea

    Decided to come here for a weekday dinner on a whim & so glad that we did! This was also my first…read moreforay into Downtown Cary, which is super cute. We got the: - Scallion Roasted Beef Pancake Roll: Definitely recommend getting this as an appetizer! The scallion pancake is super crispy with unbelievably tender beef inside & perfect amount of sweetness from the hoisin sauce. - Griddle Chicken with Mixed Vegetables: I've never eaten anything like this before, and absolutely loved it. Loved all the spices- cumin, fennel, doubanjiang- & the mala essence; the crispy, tender chicken; and the variety of vegetables, especially the lotus root. - Shrimp Ho-Fun: The shrimp were tender & the wide rice noodles have such a fun, bouncy texture; a flavorful dish. - Spicy Boiled Fish: The fish was super flaky; Taipei 101's version of this has a bit less mala flavor than I like, but this was still tasty. - Chinese Braised Pork: The pork was tender with a good amount of fat and I appreciated the bok choy, but it was a bit too sweet for me. Ambiance is nice, lots of tables. Service was fast. There are parking spots in front of the restaurant, but a little limited in number. 10/10 would recommend!

    This was by far the most disappointing Chinese meal I've had. The scallion pancakes barely had any…read morescallions--maybe one piece in each--and when I mentioned it, the server insisted that's just how they prepare them. The vegetable lo mein was just as underwhelming, with only a small amount of carrots, scallions, and broccoli, lacking real flavor while somehow being overly salty. We also ordered the eggplant with basil, but the sauce was thick, overly sticky, and tasted more like sugar than anything else. I can't understand how this could be considered authentic. We had visited this restaurant about ten years ago, and the quality has clearly declined since then.

    Chicken Mongolian. We didn't order this. It was brought to us by accident, but the few bites we had were very, very good.

    My second visit to Shanghai Alley is exactly why I believe in second chances. I honestly was not…read morevery impressed during my first visit, but coming back again completely changed my opinion because this place really shined the second time around. They offer a huge variety of dishes ranging from classic Chinese and American Chinese food to handmade dim sum made fresh in house. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, especially the walnut shrimp which I'm still thinking about. The roasted duck and char siu were also standout dishes and you can really tell they put care into the food here. I also love that they specialize in both Sichuan and Cantonese dishes, so there's something for everyone depending on what flavors you're craving. If you want the full dim sum cart experience, definitely stop by on the weekends from 11 to 2. It made the experience feel even more authentic and fun. This visit completely won me over and I'll definitely be back to keep exploring the menu.

If I could grade just on taste it would 12/10. However. The service. We waited an hour for our food after threatening to leave. An Asian couple sat down after us and got their food in 15 min. Another Asian group came in 45 min after us and still got their food before us. The waitresses were yelling back and forth to each other the whole time and we tried to flag someone down to ask for boxes and she waved us off. Another waitress said she'd take 20% off because we waited so long but it never came off the check. And it wasn't just us. This happened to 6 other people. One family got up and walked out they had waited at least 1.25 hrs, with 3 kids, and only got 2 dishes of their 5. Gordon Ramsay make them over! Because it could be so so so good if only the service was better.
