Really enjoyed Goodwin Tea House! The drinks tasted very high quality and you can tell they use real tea instead of overly sweet syrup-heavy mixes. The Guava & Grape Cheechee was super refreshing and unique, and the milk tea had a rich tea flavor that stood out immediately. The food was honestly a surprise highlight too. The Seafood Satay Noodle Soup had a rich, flavorful broth with a really good balance of savory and spicy flavors, and the spicy sour beef soup was comforting and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, making it a great place to study, catch up with friends, or just hang out for a while. read more

I've been to a dozen "no tip" restaurants that have opened since 2023, and this was by far the strangest experience. Walked into Goodwin expecting a more relaxed, self-serve style environment where customers could take their time browsing the menu without pressure. Instead, the atmosphere immediately felt tense and uncomfortable -- more like "hurry up and order or leave." The owner are def fuzhouese. One of the first things I noticed was two tables eating directly out of large rectangular aluminum trays, the kind you'd normally see at Chinese buffets or catering setups. This is a sign that tells me they are family member of the restaurant owner 员工餐 . It honestly threw me off and made the dining room feel unusual and unpolished. The female owner immediately came to the entrance as soon as I walked in, which added to the pressure and awkward vibe. My mom actually comes from a very similar cultural and business background and has worked with many restaurant owners in that community through commercial restaurant sales. Based on her own experiences in the industry, I became uncomfortable with what she described what possibly would be going on and that made me uneasy as well. At the end of the day, the atmosphere just didn't feel welcoming or relaxing. I ended up leaving before ordering because something about the experience felt off to me personally. There are plenty of other no-tip restaurants that manage to feel modern, clean, and customer-friendly without making people feel rushed or uncomfortable. To name a few: Korean: kisoya, Naju myunok, and sambong naengmyun, the food court inside mega mart Chinese: Papa dumpling, or the food court at dinho in doraville, or chenji in Duluth, Xi an gourmet noodle inside jusgo food court read more

It is my genuine hope that my review helps to boost business at Goodwin Tea because they are hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their menu is small and curated to where everything is high quality and freshly made. I appreciate that the menu is self-serve and no tip is required, although appreciated. Service has always been good despite this, and I think they show a lot of pride and care in their work. The food is, to me, unique and there is no other menu like it in the area. The hot and sour beef soup is addicting, as other people have noted! I also crave it once a week, and come here for lunch specifically for that. They also have cheese foam drinks that are unique and I can't find any other place that does them quite as well. The mango cheechee was a good balance of sweet and creamy but the Grape Cheechee is a standout. The flavor of grapes with cheese makes so much sense but never crossed my mind as a drink combo. Please give this place a try! I will be so despondent if I have to find another lunch spot, I'm imploring you to help keep this place open. :) read more

I'm addicted to their sour beef soup: garlicky, savory, and perfectly balanced. Filled with all of the best ingredients, like radish, mushrooms, glass noodles, cilantro. And actually mala numbing spice. I crave it at least once per week. Their appetizers are also some of the best that I have had in the area. My favorite being their handmade Fried Shrimp Rolls. The tofu crispy tofu skin on these rolls takes it to the next level. Also, their teas are so good here. Specifically their lime tea and their fresh taro. I just order both! No one else seems to get the memo that this shop's theme is the Jay Chou movie "Secret." Lowkey obsessed. Table ordering, just like in Asia on your phone. Love the accuracy and service. Since I moved further away, I've been ordering using food delivery service and the food still slaps. read more

10000/10. My first time eating here was takeout. I ordered the spicy sour beef golden soup and it was the BEST soup I've ever had in my entire life. I also ordered the fried shrimp rolls and it was so unique, you can tell that there's something slightly different about it. I came back today and the soup was good as ever, but no shrimp rolls :( thats ok bc I ordered the fried shrimp balls and that was really good!!! That one is also unique as well, the texture for both is very different but so yummy. The drink I ordered was the guava grape at 50% sweetness and it was really good and refreshing. The seafood satay is also good too, it reminds me of curry noodle soup. The service is quick and fast. It's basically self service, you'll order through a QR code. Employees will come and help you if it looks like you needed help. This place doesn't require tip at all, but they do have a tip jar if you want to. The environment is so fun and cute. Lots of Jay Chou decor and Jay Chou music playing! Overall you MUST go here if you're reading this, the snacks and appetizers are to die for. If I lived closer I would be here everyday! read more

Love this pretty authentic asian food place. Very clean and comfy space! You order by scanning the code, and pay in advance! Satay chicken and popcorn chicken are both a must try snack dish, perfect for kids. I love the hot&sour fish fillet soup with rice noodles (substitute for $1), the boneless fish fillet are so thin and soft! The soup is spicy, but vey tasty with rice noodles! read more

Wanting boba, this place was on the way back to the house. We stopped by because we knew this location before it was Goodwin Tea House. This location has been a boba shops at least a couple of times before and we have tried every time so we came here to check it out. I got a strawberry guava fruit tea with boba. This place also serves food, but we did not partake this time. The boba was a bit pricey, $17 for 2 drinks which I thought was pretty crazy but that's the price for boba nowadays. Inside the restaurant it's nicely decorated as a Taiwanese cafe would be. The chairs remind me of outdoor seats in Taiwan as well. I would also say that the dishes are mostly Taiwanese, popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup. Staples. I think I will order the popcorn chicken next time I come here. The menu and ordering system is online. I found that kind of cumbersome. Scan the QR code, pay, and then the food will come out. Putting in your credit card instead of just paying at the front is just harder. read more

Super cute restaurant/tea place. I popped back in after a Yelp event and ordered another of their drinks. The mango was quite refreshing, and I've also tried the cake Thai tea which was delightful and Thai tea is always my go to when ordering boba tea somewhere new. Very cute place to hangout for a bit and enjoy your snack or meal. The staff is very friendly and happy to offer suggestions on menu items and answer questions. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

This location has been multiple different tea shops in the past. It originally was a Share tea, then Samurai tea, and now it's Goodwin but now they serve both tea and food here. Even though they took over the space, they did change the decor up completely. They sectioned it out to make temporary wall spaces to divide out the tables and chairs in the dining area. They have the QR code for you to scan through chowbus for the menu to order at the table. Everything is done automatically once they receive your order they bring out your meals pretty quickly. Service was good, even though minimal surface was needed. They have a self-serve table with everything you need like plastic utensils, Sriracha, chili, to go boxes, water dispenser, and napkins. The food was pretty tasty. I got Jasmine milk tea with Crystal boba it was good, you definitely can taste the tea flavor come through in the drink. The kids got oolong tea with mango jelly. You can adjust the sweetness and ice level in all drinks and there are no free toppings you must add all toppings for an extra cost. You can get a meal and drink combo which may come out a little cheaper, but you're limited to what drink of choice you can choose. All in all it's a Good place for a quick bite to eat. read more

Good food. The fish is my favorite. The beef noodles and the seafood noodles are great too.

This review is for the boba drinks only. I got to try the taro milk tea and guava/strawberry fruit tea. I was disappointed with the former and thought it was really bland. It was lacking any of the creaminess and flavor of the taro. I did enjoy the fruit tea with real fruit pieces. I definitely recommend getting the lowest sugar level since it was still really sweet. read more

We ordered the Abalone Seafood Satay Noodle Soup, which had a rich, nutty broth and plenty of seafood, and the Braised Pork Rice, which was super comforting. For snacks, the Popcorn Chicken and Fried Shrimp Roll were crispy and tasty, and the Brown Sugar Rice Cake was a nice sweet treat. Also, tips aren't mandatory, which is a nice touch. Definitely coming back! read more

Came back for a visit and they were still playing Jay Chou's classic songs, which brought back so many memories. This time I tried the crispy fried squid with savory chili powder--really tasty. The spicy hot pot is still one of my favorites, especially with all the add-ins like potato slices, lotus root, and squid soaked in rich sauce. The only downside was that it wasn't very spicy and a bit on the oily side. Of course, I had to pair it with a milk tea for that double happiness. read more

This is a cute boba shop that also serves delicious food. I ordered an iced oolong milk tea and the chicken satay noodle. The broth for the noodles was a savory curry broth with just the right amount of spice. The noodles were cooked al dente and I enjoyed the fish balls, tofu and bok choy that were in the dish. The dish was reminiscent of laksa mee. They also had to-go containers available for you at a counter that also carried condiments. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. read more

The food was great here! I ordered the chicken satay soup and their beef bowl. The chicken satay soup was very flavorful, and almost reminded me of a curry dish. However, the noodles were a bit too soft in my opinion but besides that everything was great. The owner also gave us a free popcorn chicken which was delicious. Easily the best popcorn chicken I've ever had, and I'd definitely go back just for it. The ambiance was beautiful inside as well, so if you'd looking for a cute lunch spot this is the place! read more

Came to see the new restaurant that replaced Samurai Tea! Service was good & friendly. - Cool aesthetic but kinda hot in there. - Boba tasted authentic, loved the mango tea & taro tea! - Seafood Noodles were good, we need more boba + food shops. - Rice dish tasted homemade but was pricey for portion size. - Chicken Satay could use more flavor or sauce. read more

So glad I read about this place (on Facebook then the reviews here). Went there with my mom (in a wheelchair!) and we both enjoyed the food a lot. Ordered Beef Noodle Soup, marinated cucumber, Chicken Satay and Fried Calamari pieces (new item on the menu, one piece was a little tough). Everything was tasty though next time I might bring my own satay sauce to go with the chicken. Though the entrance was not wide, we were able to get through with the wheelchair without help. When leaving, the server was very gracious and helped us with the door. The only thing I had issue with was with Chowbus (my first time using it). I really did not want to link my credit card and tried two times to pay without linking (and failed). So I had to eventually link to get the transaction to go through. But now that it is linked, maybe I will have to eat there more often! Ha! read more

Lovely cafe in Duluth. Love the decoration and atmosphere of this cafe so much that makes it stand out from other places around the area. It definitely has a vintage ambience and they play my favorite singer-songwriter's songs and have some of his pictures on the wall so precious!! Speaking of their food and drinks, they're bomb! I ordered a mango & passionfruit tea, popcorn chicken, braised pork rice, and Gyudon Beef Bowl with my friend. Big portion, great price, delicious taste! Honestly, I have nothing to complain about this place. I wish this place gets more love because it seems they are pretty slow. My friend and I were the only customers there tonight when it was around time. The owner said they opened about 3 months ago and business has not been well. I really hope a good restaurant likes this get more love by our community as they definitely deserve it. read more

Food was delicious and it was perfectly seasoned and waiter's were nice. Ambiance is great lots of decorative stuff

The teas I've tried are bland and not very sweet. If you like less sugar then you might enjoy this one. It takes a while to get your drink. There's 1-2 staff members and the drinks have so many components. Some components like Oreos came stale. I do prefer a different tea shop in this shopping center. read more

This place is a hidden gem ! The noodles are amazing and the broth is full of flavor! Everything I've tried, I have loved! They have reasonable prices for good portions.

Cute little hole in the wall with good food and teas. Few options but the options available are done well!

5 stars for service the owner was very sweet to us. My favorite drink here so far is the taro. I believe its oolong base milk tea. The taro is the real one not a powdered kind like alot of places use. One of the reasons I like this place. And the tea is strong and good taste quality.not overly sweet and still enough sweetness. We got a fried chicken wrap which is kind of like the fried Taiwanese snack food chicken they have at some snack tea places. The wrap has ranch tomato and lettuce and is pretty decent size. There's a combo with the wrap and milk tea which is a pretty good deal for the price 13.99. You can get a wrap or popcorn chicken. The owner brought us a free brown sugar milk tea and popcorn chicken on the house to try. I think alot of people that like the.brown sugar milk tea will like that. It's good I still prefer the taro. The popcorn chicken is pretty good snack food also filling. They have lots of soup and stew options and some chicken satay. They need more matcha options. Atmosphere is mixture of modern trendy and more dining style less bright tham other bubble tea places..it may be good for quiet studying. They could get more lights, maybe more bright and bubbly colors to appeal to young crowd I think. But go try the teas and food! Well be back to try more stuff for sure!!:)) read more

Tried this place for the first time, on the hunt for great food and services, I decided to give them a try based on the reviews and proximity to my appt. I'm sorry to say, I will not be returning. The place is small, and neat. The service was I want to say ok but not even. The young girl was very cold and not helpful. We navigated the menu a made a safe selection of "A" Ramen soup. Since it was our first time there we didn't want to chance ordering too much food and be disappointed considering the service was bad. The soup was ok. We drank it and left unfulfilled. read more
