I kept seeing a line down the block, so I got curious about what all the hype was. We came on a Thursday afternoon and only ended up waiting around 15-20 minutes to order. I ended up getting passion fruit green tea with konjac jelly. I loved how the bitterness of the tea and the super sweet passion fruit flavoring balanced out. The konjac jelly was a bit firmer than other konjac jelly I've had, so it wasn't my favorite. read more

Came in the afternoon on the day of their soft opening and waited about an hour before ordering and another 20min to get our drinks. Overall, the process of waiting and ordering wasn't too bad. The employees are very sweet and accommodating, even bringing out some tea for us to try while in line. Their kiosks worked great and the store itself is decorated very well and I can tell a lot of thought has been put into the layout. We ordered the oolong tea latte and creamy lemon tart, and although they were packaged very aesthetically and thoughtfully, I didn't think the drinks themselves were that great. The creamy lemon tart wasn't very creamy and was very tart-y (maybe that's what they were going for, but I did expect something sweeter), and the milk tea tasted quite diluted. Most of my milk tea tasted like milk and very little oolong. Since it was quite busy, I understand that it might be hard to make so many drinks in a short period of time, but I was definitely disappointed in the end. I may return to try their drinks during a less busy time since I did really enjoy the atmosphere. read more

To me, the best quality tea in Boston. I'm not really a fan of boba so much as the tea itself, and the tea really shines here. Huge fan of the osmanthus oolong with honey and cream. Yes, it's pricey, but not much more than other tea shops in Boston, and it's well worth it for what you're getting. read more

Spectacular new boba shop right across from Hynes T stop! I came of Friday morning for their soft opening and waited around 1.5 hours before they opened. The lines were well managed and I had plenty of time to decide what I wanted to order. They have a few recommended drinks, but you can also make your own drink starting with a tea base, flavoring, and toppings. We got free samples of the milk tea base right before we were let into the store. I got the ding dong oolong tea latte with boba and the high mountain pouchong mousse tea with mini taro balls. As one of the first 100 customers, I also got cute boba keychains when I picked up my drinks. The interior of the shop is spacious with 2 kiosks, a big table for seating, and a space for tea sampling area. They have a small screen in the back showing order numbers along with merch and tea to purchase. I really enjoyed the ding dong tea latte and the boba was perfectly soft and chewy. The mousse was sweet and tasted like cream cheese. The stickers on the cups are super cute and I love the string holder attached to the cup holder. They have a loyalty program that allows you to get some discounts on drinks as well. I will definitely be back since I have my eye on trying the creamy lemon tart and a few other drinks! read more

I love this chain with all my heart. I've hunted down the California location and the New York location in sweltering heat. Finally I have arrived to Boston's, I came here for the soft opening date. After two-Ish long years of promotion and advertising, Chicha San Chen has finally opened. I drank their High Mountain Pouchong tea that tasted sweet and fresh and it'll always be my unique pick me up. When you enter you see an assembly line of clean pressed shirts, working their arms around cups and metal spoon mixers. The workers not only act the part they dress the part every hour or so they will host a free tea tasting that you will have to RSVP. And what I love most about this place is that a differentiates from your average sugary Boba spot. Chicha prioritizes, natural tea leaves, and good quality drinks for their customers and markets that better than any Boba tea shop I've come across. Highly recommend this place, my only wish is that I wish this place had opened sooner. read more

Came back here again after half a year. Definitely it's not as popular as before. No line like before. I got the passion fruit green tea this time as it's popular. Still I don't see why it's popular. The tea flavor is mild and passion fruit flavor is mild. With grass jelly, it's $9.36. I don't think it's worth it. read more

I was very excited to know that Chicha San Chen would be coming to Boston. The teas are fragrant and sweet. I am very pleased with this experience. However, it is a little pricy--all the cups are one size. You are definitely paying for premium ingredients. The interior is nice and roomy. In the future, this would be a very comfortable story spot and place to chat with a friend. It was busy on soft opening day, but the staff are friendly. read more

I ordered the creamy lemon tart and the classic fruit tea and they were both so good, I can see why this place is deemed Michelin starred boba!! read more

I've been waiting for Chicha San Chen to open in Boston for almost a year now--and it was totally worth the wait! After having tried (and loved) their teas multiple times in Singapore, Toronto, and New York, I'm thrilled to say that this location is just as fantastic as the others. The quality and taste are exactly on par, with the same aromatic teas and loving ambiance and service that's provided by the staff. Simply unparalleled. Boston is truly lucky to have this gem, and I'm beyond excited to have easy access to one of my favorite tea spots. Can't wait to keep coming back! Also have to add -- the tea tasting was a nice touch :) really loved it and the hospitality/homeyness they were above to provide. read more

Spring roll was excellent and filling was fresh. Then Next 2 orders of beef teriyaki with 4 sticks each show up??? She takes away my duck sauce from my spring roll... and leaves me with no duck sauce for my beef teriyaki? I now ask for duck sauce for teriyaki? She brings out a hot spicy sauce instead of duck sauce ? The sesame chicken was very good but more sweet and sour sauce flavor than sesame ? The beef teriyaki was extremely tough meat and I had to ask for a knife to cut up? No glass of water as I saw other tables getting water? I had to ask for water as tea wasn't doing it for me ? Then another duck sauce shows up I didn't ask for but glad it did arrive and was needed? Teriyaki had great flavor but tough like beef jerky and one order would have been enough to tolerate without the confusion of getting 2 orders and then also charged for two ? I found the service confusing and not a smooth outing? Then both the waitresses disappeared while waiting for the check . I asked for a glass of water at this point. No fortune cookie, pineapple or exit offering with the check? All in all I was confused.. but I would eat again here and assume staff trying ... next time I'll be very clear what 1 vs 2 means. The menu does look many good options and convenience with parking, location and nice dining room. I would have rate 4-5 stars but the teriyaki wasn't tender and too tough to enjoy.

Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯: Extremely sour, too sharp. Homemade Sausage 自製手工香腸: Tastes like mild Chinese sausage, rather hard and dry. Home Style Spiced Chicken 木蘭燒雞: As a cold dish, it has the feel of Northern-style braised chicken, salty and smoky. It's okay, but the chicken and skin are too soft. Minced Pork with Preserved Long Beans 酸豆角小炒: Also very sour and quite spicy, the flavor is too stimulating for me. Shredded Beef w. Hot Chili Pepper 角椒牛肉絲: Large portion, very flavorful, the fresh green peppers are even a little crunchy, which is interesting. If you can handle spice, you'll probably find it quite appetizing. Ma-po Bean Curd 麻辣豆腐: Not very spicy, the tofu is smooth and flavorful. However, the Sichuan peppercorns are a bit over-fried, you can taste a slightly bitter aftertaste. Braised Pork Shin in Brown Sauce 冰糖元蹄: There's no such thing as a bad pork shin. This one was stewed until incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, with a pure, non-greasy flavor. However, to be honest, the sweetness of the rock sugar and the color of the sauce were just average. Sauteed Chinese Squash 清炒絲瓜: As a Cantonese, my favorite thing is still green vegetables. Lightly thickened with cornstarch, it was refreshing and smooth - a very standard dish.

My parents owned the spot years ago when it was Timmy Cafe. They sold the spot to Laurence's mom and she in turn sold it to him. The space is bright and the food is fire. There's not a lot of seating but there's a steady stream of people ordering to go. Laurence will also host pop up experiences for local chefs. My daughter loves their plain congee. I'm a big fan of the Rubato Fun Fun. The brisket in there tells you that Laurence knows how to make Chinese brisket the right way. They also have an amazing brisket steamed bao. The Fun Fun is loaded with everything you would want on a cheung fun dish mixed together. The highlight for me and keeps me coming back is the bolo fried chicken sandwich. There's so much going on between the sweet, flaky, and fluffy bolo bao, filled with a generous serving of a delectable fried chicken and saucy slaw. You get a complex mixture of flavors and textures in every bite. It can get messy, so lean forward and eat over your dish. I love that Laurence is often in the store and giving time to the fans of his TV cooking competitions. His team are also super competent and kind. I used Rubato catering for an event and the participants are still raving about the spread months later. Don't sleep on this local celebrity spot!

It was just my fault for having overly high expectations. Also I was frustrated about the service. They have a seating policy where you have to order before getting a seat. The sign is in small font, lots of words printed on a piece of paper, propped next to the cashier. My friend and I weren't the only ones who didn't notice the rules and plopped ourselves on a chair before getting kicked out by the cashier. We weren't upset at that. The problem was when we changed our order from eat-in to to-go due to the seating policy and not seeing additional available seats, the cashier guy didn't update it in the order. We saw them prepping our order for eat-in, so we spoke behind the counter that we meant to have it to-go. The cashier guy responded in a rude tone. They should do a better job of communicating the seating policy and managing their 6 seats. They could put the sign with less words and bigger letters at the door, steps to entrance, and under menu. They could also put a divider to make sure people don't cross into the seats before reaching the cashier. Since we had to order food to-go, things were not at its peak by the time we ate it, but I think it was solid given the delay. Also not sure if transferring the food from eat-in plates and bowls to takeout ones would affect the composition and therefore taste and texture. We ordered: HK milk tea, soy milk, Rubato's fun fun, salt and pepper chicken with rice, Sampan congee, and a lava custard steam bao HK milk tea tastes legit but it was too mild - not the same as watery. At least it didn't feel rough on the tongue. Less sweet was a bit too sweet for me given the weaker tea strength. I think the mildness makes it appeal to a wider audience. Bayao's milk tea is punchier with sharper tea flavors while also being rougher on the tongue. I can't decide which one I prefer more. I like it more than the soy milk though. Soy milk does taste homemade. It tastes chalky (flavor not texture) but not green. Rubato's fun fun is the HK street food version of cheung fun rice noodles where it's the plain rolls of cheung fun with curry fishballs and beef stew. I like the cheung fun. It's silky smooth with a slight chew without being tough or rough or mushy, better than Bayao. The order only came with two fishballs which had a slight bounce (would like more) and bit of sweetness (also would like more). The curry sauce was overpowered by sauce from the beef stew. The beef stew tasted right too, although mild, but the biggest problem is with the meat being a bit tough and dry (edible but can be better). Salt and pepper chicken with rice is my favorite dish of the meal. The chicken meat can improve on juiciness and tenderness but at least it wasn't too dry. The batter was thicker than I'd like but at least airy and crunchy (despite being cold). The skin stayed dry despite taking it to-go which makes me wonder if the food was room temperature to start. The "salt and pepper" aspect of it was closer to "fried garlic and chili flakes" type of situation. Nevertheless I very much enjoyed that flavor and abundance of seasoning which generously coated each bite of chicken and rice. The rice was properly fluffy and not too hard or soft despite being cold when I ate it. Also I was actually a bit surprised by how little rice there was both absolutely and relatively. Sampan congee was something I was skeptical about because it looks like they only sprinkled toppings on top of a plain congee. I know it's hard to expect to have a pot for each variety of congee, but sometimes you need to boil things together to have the ingredient flavors seep into the congee. I like how the peanuts weren't too hard or soft. The dried fish and dried scallops were sufficient in flavor and quantity to add flavor to this congee. However they were too fishy for my liking, not necessarily sweet. I experimented adding the salt and pepper chicken's garlic chili seasoning into the congee and it was amazing. Overall I was impressed with the congee texture too. Since there were toppings mixed inside I don't necessarily have a full view of it plain but it was smooth with softened partial rice grains without being a goopy mess. Lava custard steamed bao was all cold and wet from condensation (came in a bag) by the time I ate it. At least the skin wasn't too soggy and it was fluffy inside even when cold. The filling was too sweet for me (I know it's supposed to be sweet) and wish there was more/stronger salted egg yolk flavor. They had some steamer baskets behind one of the counters but it looked dry (without) steam and cold. I didn't see if they grabbed my bao from there but I'm skeptical if they even keep the baos warm.

Chicha San Chen is a highly favored boba spot, and I have a lot of friends who really enjoy it. While I can see why people like it, it didn't fully match my personal taste. The selection of teas is nice and offers a good variety, but even with less sweetness, I still felt that the drinks were too sweet and the tea flavor got lost. I tried the Bubble Volcano Milk Tea and the Classic Fruit Tea. The milk tea suited my taste better and had a nice creamy texture. The fruit tea was just okay for me, but I understand why many people enjoy it. Overall, it's a solid option if you prefer sweeter drinks, but for someone who likes a stronger tea profile, it may fall a bit short. read more

Chicha San Chen is a gem for tea lovers! Every drink is brewed to order, ensuring an incredibly fresh and flavorful experience. Their signature bubble milk tea is a must-try--perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with bouncy pearls that are just the right texture. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients really sets them apart from typical bubble tea shops. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the minimalist decor makes for a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more

Fast service, polite staff, delicious tea - what more could you ask for? I like how there are ordering self-serve kiosks, which speeds up the ordering process, and a screen that shows you when your order will be ready. I got the osmanthus oolong with oat milk. The tea was wonderfully fragrant and the bubbles were fresh and chewy. I'd been waiting for Chicha San Chen to open up in Boston for months, and I'm so happy that my expectations have been met. I'll definitely be back! read more

I got here 30 mins before opening (on opening day), and waited in line for 2 hrs. However, it was very much worth the wait. While waiting, a server came out and distributed small samples of their bubble tea base. It kept me excited for the actual thing. It smells really good inside, and there is plenty of seating. I also like how their cups have handles. I got the Dong Ding Oolong tea with fresh milk and boba. It was SOOO good. Will definitely be coming back! read more

House Special Milk Tea (4/5) - I got this with 70% sugar, and I thought that was a decent "not too sweet" level. I'd prefer even less sugar next time. This drink contains oats, and lots of them.

TLDR// Teazzi is a solid boba shop I would return to.
