My husband loves the Lychee black tea with coconut jelly. It's nice and sweet, but doesn't leave you feeling too full or sickly like the milk teas tend to. What's special about Tea ETC is they let you pick your tea, pick the temperature and pick your sweetness. I'm not sure if people like to drink their tea hot, but you can request ice to make it super cold. They serve it without ice otherwise. But I think the ability to pick your sweetness is great! I'm weening myself off sugar in other areas of my life, so to be able to ask for my Bubble tea with only half or quarter sugar is fantastic.

Sunnybank is one of those hubs that serves most, if not all, the Asian cuisine you are after. One…read moreof my favourite Asian sweet things to treat myself to are Bubble Tea or Pearl Tea. To my knowledge I have tried almost all of the bubble tea bars in the Sunnybank area (I am such a fan!). I consider myself, quite the bubble tea connoisseur now. I've been back to Tea Etc a few times to order as many different flavours as possible to 'test' it out. I have found that some bubble tea tastes good here, but then also some bubble tea they make don't taste as good as their fellow neighbour Tea bars. For example classic flavoured Bubble Tea like their Milk Tea, tastes yummy and sweet, but then the Taro Milk Tea is passable. Not as delicious as other places I've been to, it's a bit too watered down for my liking. On the few occasions where my favourite go-to bubble tea places are closed and I can't resist a tasty drink, I come here to give it another go- but now, I know which drinks to avoid. An advantage Tea Etc has over some of its neighbours is it is open for an extra hour and a half. While others have closed up shop at 9pm, this place still has one hours and half of service left. This is important to me because, I usually start dinner with friends at around 8pm and often get carried away and forget to order bubble from my favourite place (which closes at 9pm). So when this does happen and if often does on disorganised nights, I wander on over to Tea Etc to have their Milk Tea.... Luckily, they never ruin this classic flavour.

And I must say it is much classier, with a lot more thought put into the design of this place. So, on to Gong Cha: service is fast, cleanliness is excellent, menu range is huge, location is ideal, prices are decent. What more could you want? It's exactly what I'd expect from a place like this and exactly what I got. Not to mention the very cool surrounding restaurants which I'll check out later ;)

They also give you the same stickers for frequent customers (Buy 10 get 1 free), just ask for it. The only frustrating part with Sakuraya is the size of the cup. It just doesn't fit in the car cup holder. So either finish it before leaving or drink it when you reach your final destination otherwise you may have to deal with picking up boba from your car floor.

Don't confuse this shop with the Sakuraya at Sunnybank Market Square which serves both food and…read moredessert drinks. The Eight Mile Plain Sakuraya is exclusively a dessert/ drinks bar and a popular one at that. Even though it only opened last year, this shop has a faithful following lounging around in the indoor/ outdoor dining area, sipping drinks, munching on those glutinous Japanese rice balls and just people watching in general. They do the usual assortment of pearl milk teas and fruity green/black teas. When I went last weekend, I wanted to try something a little different so the waitress recommended a Winter Melon Yoghurt drink. This was perfect for the hot weather but I would only recommend it if you enjoy drinks with a distinct sour sweetness such as Yakult. They also stock a range of gelati that I've never heard of called Norgen Vaaz though I'm willing to give it a go if it is as tasty as their drinks range.

I really feel like this Sakuraya makes better drinks than the Sakuraya at Warrigal Square!…read more I have tried the taro milk tea and I'm not a big fan of it. It has a funny after taste. But the mixed agar milk tea? I AM COMPLETELY HOOKED. I have found my all time favourite milk tea! The mixed agar milk tea with 1/4 sugar is perfection! The milk tea has a good amount of tea taste. There's two different types of jelly in there; I believe it's coffee jelly and something else. It's so worth the $5.50! Something that I like about this place is that instead of using stamps on the rewards card, they give you stickers. They give you one sticker for every drink you buy. The stickers are always really cute! NOTE #1: This Sakuraya closes later than the one at Warrigal Square. I believe they close at midnight. NOTE #2: Don't be fooled by the long line. It passes by fairly quickly

Always packed with thirsty/hungry people no matter what time of the day (yep, even at 10pm),…read moreSakuraya clearly is the place to go to in Sunnybank to fulfil your bubble tea hankerings. After a busy night of eating (what else?) we were in dire need of something sweet to top it off. And sweet is what these guys specialise in. Grab a [very extensive] menu and jump in the queue. Hopefully by the time you've reached the front of the line you'll have made a decision. They have a huge variety of herbal teas (hot or cold), yoghurt teas, coffees, hot/iced chocolates and, of course, milk teas (taro with fresh taro pulp, hello!). The serving size is, um, generous (HUGE!) and service is surprisingly speedy. They work on number systems (kind of like at the deli in Coles or Woolworths) and they call out your number and bring your drinks and/or mochi over. Yep, that's right - mochi. They have original mochi (red bean paste filling), vanilla and tiramisu mochi. It goes down a treat with a hot red bean matcha (grab a spoon if you order this, as there's a mountain of red beans lurking at the bottom of the cup).

My friend and I tried 3 or 4 food stalls that ended up already being closed but there was no signs at all to notify people... We finally found a place that was still open named Rice Town. It's on the corner opposite the bar. I believe it's Chinese food. Because they were about to close, they packed it in take away containers. I'm sad because..it was super salty. Like salt laden. It was not crazy bad (MSG?) but to the point you wish you had water to wash the saltiness all down :( I prefer Panda Express 10 times over. It's not a bad place to be I guess when all of the stalls are still open. But the staff should honestly have 'closed' signs available. Staff knew we were in front, but didn't even inform that they were closed till 5-10min later -_- we had to ask them too + this happened at 4 different stalls.

I like the noises of humans and the smell of wok sizzling. I did enjoy abit. It feels like surrogated Asia. I have pork belly in white bun and some coleslaw. I thought it was Chinese cuisine but turned out it is Japanese. The buns and coleslaw were good. But I'm missing out the high notes of that charcoal grilled pork belly. Okay, I'm sorry that I forgot the name of this stall. But don't worry, the best part of 8 Street-all stalls display the cooked dishes in front of their stalls. And for some reasons, you still cannot find it. Feel free to drop a Yelp message :)) There are so much to explore. So choose a meal critically. But oh well, you can always come back for more meals!

The owner was nice enough open until we are done eating. They closed it at 330 and reopened at 5 pm .

I had a pearl milk tea at the place before, which was decent, and so I hoped the food was just the same. We decided to go 'family style' and order four dishes and a soup, a very typical ordering style, which is actually pretty perfect for five people. We got the sweet and sour soup), string beans with minced meat (), fried tofu (), Taiwanese pan fried noodles (), and Three-Cup Chicken (). The fried tofu and the soup were made pretty well and close to what I can find in Taiwan, but the noodles and string beans were just ok, with the three-cup chicken being my least favorite. It didn't have much of a sesame oil flavor, which is integral to the course, and the chicken was also breaded by something - which isn't usually done traditionally. Their drinks are not bad, and I would recommend it over Sakuraya's pearl tea drinks. The food was plenty for five, and came out to 11.5 per person, which isn't bad for how much food we got. It wasn't purely authentic, but it was decent for Brisbane, and if I lived any closer - I would probably return.

Great Taiwanese food and affordable and convenient location for those working at QE2…read more Usually get the set meals combos. The pork mince rice with a snack and a drink for about 13$. Would also recommend the Taiwanese beef noodle. Service is relatively fast. You go up to the counter to order. Food usually takes 10-15 min. Best thing is call ahead during busy lunch hours. Ambience is casual. Done up to look like old times Chinese restaurants. But not fully decorated. Snack wise. I would recommend the fried chicken. It is their signature dish. Fairly big portion for just the small bag. If you get it with the combo you'll definitely be full. Staff speaks mandarin and English. They will answer the phone in both languages and you choose which to respond in.

Good value for money…read more If you can get your order in. The workers there are very slow and seem to have no concept of customer service. Which is not an issue for cheap and tasty Asian food places usually. I expect my Asian food fast, cheap, and tasty. This place has extremely poor bubble tea despite being a Taiwanese place. It was made from powder and was far too watery and sweet. So it tasted like milky sugar water with essence of tea. Not milk tea. The less said about the pearls the better. I hate to give a bad review for an Asian place because they usually give good food at great prices keeping food prices low but I have to review as I usually do, with honesty. Give this place a miss unless you are just ordering food and for takeaway. Avoid the bubble tea and only eat in if you can afford to wait 30 mins before they realise they forgot to make your dish.
