I stumbled upon this bubble shop and was immediately attracted to their fresh mango smoothie, which looks similar to the iconic Macu Tea's King of Mango. The smoothie did not disappoint and has its own unique personality with chewy barley bits. The only improvement I can think of is if they can add more mango flesh and pulp into the drink.

​The shop is hidden inside Aberdeen Square, adjacent to Aberdeen Center. I don't know why it takes them ten to fifteen minutes to make one drink. I've been here a few times, and every single time, it takes a long time, whether there are four or five people in front of me or no one in line. I timed it yesterday (Saturday), I placed the order at 1:40pm on my receipt and did not receive the drink until 1:58pm. That is kind of ridiculous how long it took. The drinks overall were good, but I do not think the wait is worth it. read more

Choo Tea - Waited over 15 minutes for one drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Wasn't on my must try bbt list but I chanced upon this shop and saw a long queue! It made me wonder what the hype was about and the curious me joined the queue. I was going to try the taro and purple potato milk but they were out of taro and purple potato. I guess it might be their popular drink as it was only around 3pm? So I ended up choosing the milk tea with tofu, something that is kinda unique and less commonly seen. Their milk tea has a strong black tea flavor and the tofu add a subtle soy taste to it. The tofu pudding was generous, I ended up finishing the milk tea first. There's nothing really special about my drink but they do have several other unique drink like asmanthus milk tea that may be worth trying. read more

This place is tucked in with many stores in the aberdeen square, but it still attracted a good amount of people on a saturday noon. I got the chudai oreo matcha drink and thought it was just okay. I could taste the orea but not the matcha distinctively, and the whole drink just tasted really sweet to me. But i liked that there were tiny bites of mochi on the bottom, but other than that im not sure if i will return to this place. read more

Hidden gem! Smooth, creamy, well made milk tea. On the sweet side, so may want to go 50% sugar unless you have a sweet tooth. Taro ball was soft and chewy. When I went in the evening they ran out of the salted cream options so will need to go again! read more

Mine and my partner's go-to place in Richmond if we're wanting something sweet to drink other than bubble tea. We frequent this place every time we're at Aberdeen and every time we've gone, there has always been a line up. We normally get the Fresh Strawberry and Blueberry Slush with Salty Cream and my partner gets the Chudai Special Oreo Matcha and it always hits the right spot. The way they layer the drink in the cup always amazes me because it's like a work of art. read more

I was super excited to finally give Choo Tea a try! The Oreo Matcha might just be one of my new favourite bubble tea drinks. The bitterness of the matcha was just right. I chose 30% sugar, so it was only slightly sweet, but this was perfect for me. It came with pearls that tasted like honey and I enjoyed the tiny oreo bits at the bottom. It's such an aesthetically pleasing drink as well. I also tried the Purple Potato Milk with Potato Ball. The flavour was more subtle, but the potato balls were soft and chewy. Not bad, but I don't think I'd get this again. read more

Choo Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Choo Tea is a bubble tea shop located in Aberdeen Square. Choo Tea offers specialty drinks made with quality ingredients at a premium price. We decide to give the spot a try to see if they are worth the higher price point. The first thing that catches your eye when you visit their store front is their brightly coloured drinks. They have a large poster with a photo of some of their top drinks. The drinks here range from $5.50 to $6.55 depending on the size. The peach oolong tea was full of fresh peachy flavour! Even though Oolong is a robust tea, you could still smell the sweet peach. Grayson said the tea was lightly sweetened from the fruit but it had notes of bitterness from the oolong tea in the aftertaste. The Purple sweet potato milk with sweet potato balls is a drink I have yet to see anywhere else so I had to give it a try! The drink had purple sweet potato mash on the bottom and then it was topped with fresh milk. The sweet potato added a floral and sweet note to the drink. This added a completely different flavour profile than if it was a taro base. The sweet potato balls were chewy and similar to tapioca pearls in texture. This little drink was a hefty $6 so it did come with a premium price point. read more

We got the watermelon coconut jelly and overall it was okay but wished there was more watermelon flavor. Given the amount of bubble tea competition in the area, it is hard for them to stand out. read more

Solid bubble tea place located in Aberdeen Square. When I went the lineup was never empty. Lots of people waiting around for their drinks, with 2 people running the small store. I think to get our order took around 15-20 min which is okay for a busy bubble tea place. It opens up into the mall hallway so people were socially distanced while waiting and ordering. We got the strawberry blueberry cheese, and the matcha Oreo cheese. These were both aesthetically stunning, and tasted really good. Each drink was $6-7. Overall I would go again to try their other flavours, and possibly get these two again. read more

Choo tea did quite impress me, and the drinks were quite delicious. The brown sugar drink was mostly milk, but it made the boba pop out. The peach drink was filled with a lot of thin pieces of peach, so I couldn't taste the peach flavored the drink. The purple potato and taro drink was one of favorites, and the drink was perfect combo and liquid. The people were really nice. read more

- chudai milk tea with pearl = $5.50 - 《Chungry Rating = 6.5/10》 Choo Tea is another bubble tea spot I've been excited to try! They are located on the 2nd floor of Aberdeen Square directly across from Preso Tea. Their chudai milk tea was not bad! The flavour of the tea was pretty good for a standard cup of milk tea, but not as strong as I would've liked. The pearls that were included were too sweet for my taste. I'm not sure why, but they almost tasted like brown sugar pearls! I did sneak a sip of their chudai special oreo matcha from my sister, and that drink was much more interesting. The flavour profile was more balanced in terms of its sweetness. I will have to go back another time and try their more unique drinks! read more

Choo Tea - Chudai Milk Tea w/ Pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Passed by this once while I was walking through Aberdeen Square and decided to try since their drinks looked so cute! They are a small store front on the first floor of Aberdeen Square! They have a few selection of popular asian bubble tea, tea, and rice yogurt drinks but I decided to try their two most popular flavours, Oreo Matcha and Purple Potato Milk! Although their drinks are really interesting, they are also on the pricier side but their drink bottles for their specials are pretty tall too! Between the two, I preferred the Oreo Matcha because the flavour came through a lot more than the Purple Potato Milk which had a less fragrant flavour (Aside from the Yam balls inside the drink) I would recommend their fruit teas if you prefer less sweet drinks! Their Rice Yogurt is also not bad, but nothing particularly special more photos @eatswithcece read more

Choo Tea - Chudai Special: Purple Potato Milk and Oreo Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Choo Tea is locates by the main entrance of Aberdeen Square at the mezzanine. Funny enough, this is located right across from Presotea. The first time we went to Choo Tea, there was a long wait. We were told there was a 30 min wait for drinks and pearls were all sold out... The second time around we ordered the Milk Tea with Pearls and Roasted Milk Tea with Pearls. The milk tea was pretty decent. It had a very strong flavour and tasted exactly like HK style milk tea. The pearls were too soft (not chewy at all). The roasted milk tea was disappointing. Strangely, the roasted milk tea was paler than the original milk tea drink. There was no roasted flavour and frankly, hardly any tea flavour. Would I come back? Probably not especially if there is a long wait. read more

Choo Tea - Original Milk Tea with Pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This place is super cute when it comes to their looks, and drinks itself. They have various fruit drinks, and its totally a hidden gem in Aberdeen. They are also on ubereats which makes it super easy to get where ever you are. * Fresh strawberry slush with cheese ($7.50) this is a nicely blended drink which honestly tastes like a cheesecake. Personally I thought it tasted more of blueberry than strawberry but im definitely not complaining. The drink itself was rich, and smooth. It wasn't too slushy which is good. It tasted super refreshing, but it was rich due to the cheese, which I'm assuming is cream cheese. * Chudai fruit tea ($7.50) this tea was refreshing and Passionfruit. It was cooling and delicious, ask for less sweet! The packaging was super cute but a bit hard to drink! * 8/10 - it's super delicious, but a little rich for my pallet. I love how refreshing it is, and how creamy it was. * 8/10 - price was a bit more than usual but not far from other places, the portion was a good size, and the design was pretty! read more

Choo Tea - two drinks in plastic cups - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Visited: Dec 12, 2019 Literally stumbled across this place when I was cutting through Aberdeen Square to get to Aberdeen Centre. I was drawn to the menu as it offered many items that piqued my interest; namely the purple concoction that has yam and taro and brown sugar milk. In the end, because I'm a sucker for brown sugar, I went with that. I also ordered the strawberry/blueberry fresh slush with salty cream for my companion because he's a sucker for salty cream fresh fruit slushies. The drinks look really colourful and pretty and I do like that they offer plant compostable straws. The brown sugar milk was good, they used Dairyland homo milk so it's not organic unlike some other BBT chains. The pearls were really good, great texture with a right chewiness consistency. I was impressed that the pearls were soaking in the milk for awhile and it still had flavour (I didn't drink my BBT until about an hour later) The strawberry/blueberry slush was "decent" per my companion. He mused that it reminded him of the same slush at ShareTea. The salty cream wasn't very intense but there was a lot of it in the slush. I ordered 30% sweetness and he said it was perfect. The place wasn't busy at all, there was nobody there at 7pm on a Thursday night. Unfortunately, the cashier did not acknowledge me for a few minutes and she seemed to be a bit peeved of the questions that I was asking (note to all: they have no loyalty card or stamp cards). Overall, a solid 3 stars. I would probably go back and try their purple concoction. Ordered: Brown Sugar Milk Fresh Strawberry/Blueberry Slush with Salty Cream read more

These drinks are just so minimalist yet aesthetic The Purple Potato Milk is quite filling so I don't recommend having this along with lunch. The Oreo Matcha is much lighter and had little oreos bits within each sip! Though in the end, I still like their Milk Tea with Tofu (which I am unsure if it's still on their menu) the best though! I would say their specialty drinks are better than milk tea drinks. read more

Choo Tea - Chudai Taro & Purple Potato Milk & Chudai Special Oreo Matcha⁠ - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Rich and charming taste, dazzling and beautiful packaging, leaving a deep impression. It is a must-try milk tea shop.

I had an appointment at Aberdeen mall and I wanted to some bubble tea. I am not a fan of sweet bubble tea, therefore, it gets an extra star for not being too sweet as some milk teas can be overly sweet. So with that said if you're into heavily sweet tea this may be a 3 star rather than a 5, however, taste is very subjective when it comes to bubble tea. Pearls were good. The customer service was good. The price was in line with all the other bubble tea places. read more

Yet another new bubble tea place located inside Aberdeen Centre on ground level, close to the Skytrain Station. I tried the purple potato milk with sweet potato ball. Sugar level and ice was not customizable for this drink, but luckily it wasn't overly sweet, and the sweet potato balls were nice and chewy. The cashier did offer to make it light ice for me even though they couldn't forego ice completely. Overall, I enjoyed my drink but found it a bit pricey for the size, but then they are on par with most of the newer bubble tea places that's been opening recently. read more

The drink I got was just okay. At 30% sugar it's still very sweet and tasted watery. But my whole experience was terrible. I ordered two drinks and had other things in my hand. So when my drinks were ready, I asked for a bag. The cashier insisted that I pay $0.35 for the bag (which is completely fine). I told them I can pay with a card because I don't have cash. They said I can't because the fees on the credit card would be about the amount I pay ( WHICH IS NOT MY PROBLEM). So they asked me to pay by WeChat. First of all, that's probably not legal for a merchant to do that. Secondly, after I told them I don't have any Chinese money on WeChat to pay, they continued to ask me to pay via WeChat. They never asked if I wanted a bag when I was ordering especially when they knew I was ordering multiple drinks. And then they want me to pay illegally because of this fee for credit card transactions???? read more
