I randomly stumbled across Chow Tea even though I've probably driven past it a hundred times... so glad I finally went in! The shop is super clean and the people working there were really nice. I was curious about the oolong boba, but they were out since I went later at night. I ended up getting oolong milk tea with regular boba, and it was SO good. You can really taste the tea, which I loved. Usually I get 25% sugar, but the person taking my order let me know it might not be sweet enough since they use sweetened condensed milk instead of syrup (which is different from other spots). I got 50% sugar, and it was perfect. If you like it less sweet, 50% is the way to go here. Definitely planning to come back and try the oolong boba next time. Super solid drink, great service and definitely worth supporting this small business!
After lunch I got some boba next door at chow tea. I didn't know what to get so I decided to be adventurous and tried the oolong milk tea with oolong boba. The oolong tea was fine but I wasn't a fan of the oolong boba at all. I recommended my friend the green milk tea since I liked it the last time I came and they enjoyed it as well though. I didn't have a good experience this time but I did have a good drink from them in the past
Good price and nice topping selection! I got the strawberry tea in 50% sugar and I wouldn't go up in sweetness, but it was really refreshing! I tried this on a whim due to being in the plaza and I would go again--fast service and cute interior.
I came here after eating lunch in the plaza. The cute logo drew me in. It's a Viet boba shop with both drinks and snacks. I got the tropical fruit tea ($6.95) at 50% sweet. It came with fruit on top and was ice cold (so refreshing). The shop is tiny and the drinks were all one size. The service was a bit slow but there were only two workers there. I'd come back!
Decided to check out Chow Tea after dinner. Cute but small boba shop; probably not a good place for large gatherings. They had small claw machines in the store. Service was good & quick. Got the Peach Tea w/ lemongrass & orange juice. It was sweet & refreshing, however my main gripe was that I requested light ice but it seemed more like regular ice. Watered down my fruit tea :( Also got the ube coffee to-go. The foam itself tasted good, but gets overpowered by the coffee. Not sure if Chow Tea can customize their coffee if a customer wants bac xiu instead of ca phe sua da. Would probably go back to try other options!
This place has hilarious illustrations of dogs (maybe a theme?) that I thought were AI generated. Great bubble tea including the ube flavored one which I got. Excellent service as well and prompt preparation of the milk tea. Pretty cool and adorable decorations inside and a few tables but cozy. Check this place out bro!
The design of the dogs with boba were cute and what initially drew me to try the boba. The oolong milk tea had a good combination of tea and milk taste. The fried quail eggs were tasty and a good snack. They were a bit expensive though, $6 for 6 eggs. They have other snacks available for a similar price. The shop was small with limited seating, but they have WiFi available. The service was good.
I was looking around the Chinatown area for a particular dog. I could not find it at Pet's Mart, not at my local shelter, but one place, Chow Tea. I was on a curiosity trip and seen the business was recommended here on Yelp. What really caught attention is the sign. I was definitely a bit biased because I am dog owner and found the mascot, the Chow chow, very eye catching. But it just got even better, just like the chow chow is a very cozy type of dog, the shop is very cozy as well. But I liked it. It would be a nice more intimate setting versus bringing a group. It was my first time visiting so I had to ask for what the staff would say is their best drinks on the menu. They pointed to a toasted coconut milk tea and the oolong with a few additional ones. I went with both. I did try the toasted coconut milk tea and I liked it. I never thought it would be an addicting flavor but I couldn't stop drinking more of it. Overall I found the visit very enjoyable. I have had a list of a few places that have been "hidden gems" in my collection this year. Chow Tea has made my list. In a very busy and growing business plaza, I found it to fit that criteria: Small business, a few spots for seating, nice atmosphere and can be found for those that only search for its secrets haha. But in seriousness, quality drinks, a very nice chow chow mural, very nice spot to get away from the bright lights and crowds. Every dog has his day, Chow Tea definitely had it today
Stopped by this place cause something caught my eye. Talk about hole in the wall. This place is tucked in between two buisiness like a New York restaurant The tea itself was good. Not overly sweet and you can taste the tea versus just tasting sugar. The unique thing about this place was the CHEESE JELLY. I thought it was just gonna be a piece of cheese shaped jelly but it tasted like cheese and I dig it! Definitely will be back!
It would've been an easy 4 stars but I didn't feel like I got my moneys worth with the 3 drinks that I've purchased. 25 bucks for 3 drinks was not fulfilling at all. I ordered two with ice and one without it. I decided to get their tropical fruit tea, strawberry fruit tea & Jasmine milk tea. The tropical tea was refreshing but was overpowering with what I'm assuming was passion fruit. They also put so much ice & by the time I took 3 sips the cup was already half gone. They literally gave me like 70 percent ice. For the strawberry fruit tea, I decided to take the ice out & once I did that, the drink wasn't even half way. I'll say it was about 30 percent full. The drink itself was very good, I can taste all the tea flavor. I like that they topped it off with fresh fruits versus frozen. The jasmine milk tea was textbook made. Nice tea flavor that will have me up throughout the night. I am fine with paying extra for no ice and to fill it to the top but that's what you call nickel and dime. 1.50 just for you to top it off is ridiculous in my opinion and that'll lose some stars. There's so many boba shops that will gladly make your drink without ice and won't charge you extra just to fill it to the top. Overall, the drinks were good but my experience was just subpar. The inside is tidy & clean. The service was goodish. This place is set up where you order, get your drink & go. Not a big place with just a few tables. Will I come back? Yes I'll give them another go.
Delicious milk tea and fruit tea. The service is the best and everyone had a smile. The store is small but makes the most delicious teas. Highly recommend chow tea.
Highlight: Avocado Coconut Tastes pretty creamy and is equivalent to drinking coconut milk with a thicker avocado whip. On the sweeter side but I like how unique the drink is. Hospitality: Friendly staff. Honorable Mention: Super cute marketing and interior design! Only about 5 tables inside but they do have wifi.
Another boba pop up in Bellaire. A small shop nestled next to Crown Seafood and right off the busy street. They offered Vietnamese snacks (grab n go snacks are cash only) and a lot of classic drinks options. I opted to try drink flavors that are not typically offer elsewhere. I had the green milk tea with jelly cube and it was decent. My cousin got the toasted coconut milk tea which was pretty good. The staff were friendly and patience. Nice to have another boba shop along the strip for convenience.

I've driven by this place a few times and was curious how the boba was- so one day while in Chinatown my husband and I decided to stop by after lunch. The shop is fairly small and quaint with the super cute painting of the chow chow pups on the wall! When we came in- they had menus on the TV and on the counter in front of us. My husband ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Oolong boba and I ordered the Jasmine milk Tea with regular boba and a sea salt cream topping. Both were very delicious and I enjoyed the tea base! I would definitely come back for more boba. The space is fairly tight so I wouldn't go with large groups- this is more of a place to grab and go but their food seemed like it would be good. Something to try again next time! read more
I ordered a cheese foam milk tea with 75% sweetness. I had the option to add cheese cubes, which I opted out of. The tea was fine, nothing special, 75% sweetness is a good amount but I would've opted for less sweet for a stronger tea aroma. Not my favorite tea. This was about $7.70 for the cup (as of July 2026). Price was different on the menu vs what I was charged. read more

I got the toasted coconut milk tea here, which was not too sweet and also not overly coconut-y! I don't think I would get it again, as I wasn't the biggest fan of the pairing with milk tea, but I would definitely come back to try other drinks that they have here, because they have a lot of interesting menu items. My friends tried the cheese jelly and cheese pudding in their drinks, which we found interesting, and tasted like a milder sweet cream. The place was pretty small, but was very cute, and the workers were very sweet! read more

Bought 2 drink and 1 was spoiled. The yogurt smell so bad, had residue like it had expired, and was very slimy. The aloe vera topping was really sour and smelly, clearly spoiled. Pay 1$ for extra boba but its really hard to chew, feel like it has sitting in the fridge for a long time, the center is already staled. The rice paper rolls were over sweet, and the dipping sauce was very salty as well. First time here but I am really shocked with the quality that does not match the price . I spent more than 33$ but could only drink a few sips and then had to throw it away because it was all spoiled. Trying to support the locals but this just disappointed ! read more
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and wanted something non-caffeinated. They have 2 options only, so I went with the aloe vera yogurt, which came with pearls and bits of aloe. It was a super thick drink, so I drank just part of it and the 2nd part kept well for breakfast the next morning. My friend got one of the fruit teas, which we both really liked. The space is small and cozy. read more

This place is so cute with the chow chow theme! Small but just a quick grab and go type of place. The drinks are a little on the sweeter side than I like but I'll still be back! read more

Another local milk tea is coming to HTown! Woohoo! Their soft opening is today! As we came in we received the warmest welcome from all of the staff! The shop is smaller, order and go kinda shop. Very clean, simple, aesthetically pleasing. Their menu ranges from milk tea to coffee to fruit tea. Today we wanted to try their toasted coconut milk tea with cheese pudding. I wanted to adjust the sweetness level but there are no options unfortunately. However upon trying their drinks, they are not too sweet which I loveeeee!! Drinks are very creamy, balanced and fragrant. I love that I can smell the toasted coconut on top. Their cheese pudding tasted unique in a good way, too over the top cheesy. Overall we had a really good experience coming to Chow Tea and would love to go back and try other drinks on their menu. read more

The store is well decorated but kinda small. I don't recommend bringing family here to sit and chat. Staff have cute uniforms and are friendly. However, the drinks are a little bit over priced. You'll pay around $7-8 for a decent drink, nothing special about it: read more

Bobba was hard and lumpy. Asked for no ice and the girl only filled half a cup. Teas was $5.95 and $1.00 extra for bobba? Plus tip and tax, it was almost $9. Not worth it. Will not return and don't recommend. read more

New boba spot in viet town! I love the selections they have & definitely some things that stand out compared to other places. The tea flavor was pretty good but the toasted coconut flavor was pretty subtle. I would love to come back to try other drinks though. Inside is small with limited seating so it's more of a grab & go. read more
