Mimi L.

It was just grand opened 3 months ago to replace "chicken and tea", at which we used to come for take-out sometimes dine-in. Was informed by staff that they use the same menu albeit with different recipe, and new owner also owns TP Tea next door, which explained why their boba milk tea tasted icky. Owner doesn't want to lose the competitive advantage of his adjacent little boba shop's, which however was equivalently awful, being cheap and meager. I'd suggest to skip them both until they get the act of integrity together. Too artificial and sweet, both Jasmine green and thai milk tea were awful! Nothing tasted right and will not order them again. Bentos were great. Ordered three, all good. Vegetables were palatable to eat. Newly renovated, store was bright, quiet yet vivacious. Friendly staff. Recommend bento but don't recommend milk tea drinks.

No more Chick n Tea here, but Hello Rice is also a modern Taiwanese bento box, beverage & snack spot. Parking lot can get congested during lunch hours, but it's a good location in Sunnyvale. Yes, they have a self service kiosk inside. If you dine in, leaving a tip should be optional, but the cashier still tends to carry your foods/beverages to your table inside. I like the bento box options and beverages. Most people just order takeouts/grab and go for convenience. It does take awhile at least 12-15 minutes for your orders if dining in though. Staffs are ok. Pick up your own trash and clear your own table. The original classic milk tea I ordered was only $5 and cup was tall! That's really worth the value here, especially if you don't want to purchase it for $7-$8 elsewhere. Food portions are good sized. My basil chicken bento box meal turned out to be good too. Lots of sauces/juices in my vegetables/chicken meats/mapo tofu/etc. I had to take half home because I could only finish half of the meal. There's plenty to try during a next visit.

Chicken cutlet

Ordered delivery and wow, so yummy. Great portions. Everything well flavored but also balanced, 2 different veggies and 3 different proteins! Yum. Definitely would get again.

Popcorn Chicken Bento

Came on a Thursday night for a quick dinner. The interior was clean and unassuming, and you place your order on a tablet. There were a lot of togo orders online, seems like a popular takeout spot! I got the Popcorn Chicken bento, and it came out within 5 minutes of ordering which was super quick. I added the option of spicy pickled radish on the side, and it was spicy and delicious--I wish there was more haha. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and fried basil was good. Good portion overall, also next to TP Tea and Molly Tea if you want boba afterwards. In a popular area, friendly staff, quick service, would like to try more of their other snacks and bentos next time!

Newly opened Taiwanese place that replaced the Chick & Tea. The interior is remodeled so looks refreshed from before. Food served is similar too as the previous place. There's a single ordering kiosk which moved a little slowly but perhaps also because the menu is probably new for everyone. I ordered dine in and later realized I could have ordered from the seat since they have a QR code menu by toasttab which is probably easier if you are dining in. Once ordered there was maybe a 10minute wait for the food. I ordered: #B7 Basil Teriyaki Chicken Rice Plate ($16) : rating 3/5. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it until I was packing up the left overs and noticed it was swimming in a pool of oil. I've never seen that before. Usually some sauce with the oil but this was just oil left over. Also a little disappointed the second side with the chicken was another chicken dish. Would have preferred to have two vegetables instead for variety. # F1 Tradition Chicken Cutlet ($11) : rating 3/5. I ordered it medium spicy and it was fried nicely but I only tasted spicy flavor and not the other spices and powders they usually use. Hoping since they just opened that they will slowly improve some of the recipes they have. I'd still be interested in coming back to try more items. The owner also went around the tables talking to customers to ask how everything was and how we found out about them. She also said if we write a google, yelp, or little red book review they would give you a 10% off coupon. However, I already got a 10% off for yelp check in that's valid until I think 1/11.

Braised Pork plate
Christy M.

Braised pork cutlet tasted like the ones from the night markets in Taiwan. Love that the bento comes with so much variety of home cooked dishes. They also have spicy pickled radish you can add to the rice, which compliments the braised pork rice really well. Definitely going to try other bento boxes from here next time

Very nice and friendly employees! The ambience is very clean and inviting. Excited to see their new menu in a couple months from now!

I would say that the fried chicken is the best in all I tried. So juicy, so crispy. And it's very enough for me. Highly recommended!!

Same great food as Chick & Tea, without the awesome name and logo unfortunately. My 6 year old will only eat minced pork rice from here.

When you're stuck on deciding between two beverages, and think about it, why not both?…read more I got two drinks and I love the two drinks. If they had space to hang out in, I totally would chill.

If you dig Oolong tea or Oolong Milk Teas, Teazzi is a place you should try…read more Teazzi in Downtown Sunnyvale has a oolong teas of various depth and intensity for you to choose from. You can get the strong one which leans to chocolate influences, mild, or a moderate one like the Amber Oolong Milk Tea that I ordered with 70% sweetness. I had to get something here because it's one of the few milk tea places that still does oats/oatmeal as an add on. I love oats in milk teas, but surprisingly many places have cut it out as an add on topping option. The Amber Oolong Milk Tea has medium light oolong flavor but is overall very balance in sweetness and creaminess. I liked it and would order it again. They have jasmine tea, non-milk teas and also other add ons like tea jelly and boba. Their fruit tea options include mango, peach, strawberry and apple. The do a black sesame tea, mung bean tea and have seasonal creations also. You order at a screen and they bring the drink out quickly. There is not always someone visible in the front of the house to answer questions. They don't have too many seats. There is plenty of parking in Downtown Sunnyvale, just a short walk away!

It makes for a great post-grocery treat after Mega Mart down the street or a post-dinner dessert after Seapot or 10 Butchers. I recommend 50% sweet here for all drinks if not 25% as it leans a tad sweeter than Cupertino in my past 5 or so visits. The Strawberry Milk Tea's been my favorite but the Tie Guan Yin & other TGY variants have been my go-to order for the last year. Delicious, perfect quantity, and great toppings to drink ratio. Never had a bad TP Tea experience here and I haven't had to wait longer than five minutes for my drink at any given time.

I recently came here for Boba Smoothies and I was shocked how many people were already here as soon…read moreas the shop opened up. We read reviews ahead of time and saw it was recommended to order online and come and pick up andi felt like this was a MUST DO, if you didn't want to be waiting all morning. I came to pick up my drinks about 25 min after opening and their running count for drinks made that day was already nearing 100. We tried the strawberry avocado smoothie and the mango avocado smoothie and both were great! I would recommend getting the mango if you had to choose between the two. We got 30% sugar (recommended) and I would say that was perfect! We added the oat pearls, and they were good. Different than the typical boba. I may prefer the other kind of boba, but my husband liked the oat boba better. I would love if they had both options to choose between and would love a few more non caffeinated options. Those are my two recommendations for change. We will be back!

I recently noticed that Shu Shia, a new drink shop in San Jose, has been getting a lot of…read moreattention, so I decided to stop by and give it a try. It's quite different from a typical boba shop, focusing more on fruit-based and creative specialty drinks, with several unique combinations that you don't see very often. This visit, I ordered the Avocado Snow Ice drink, the signature milk tea, and a durian drink. The avocado drink was probably the biggest surprise of the day. It tasted like real avocado rather than artificial flavoring, with a rich and creamy texture. The grains and seeds at the bottom added an interesting layer of texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a drink. The signature milk tea had a noticeable tea flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy. As for the durian drink, it delivered exactly what durian lovers would hope for--strong aroma, rich flavor, and a texture similar to a durian milkshake. The packaging also deserves a mention. The designs are distinctive and eye-catching, giving the brand a unique identity and making the drinks great for photos as well. Prices are a bit higher than your average boba shop, but the quality of ingredients and creativity behind the menu make it feel justified. After trying boba and tea shops for years, it's refreshing to find a place that offers something genuinely different. Not every drink will be everyone's favorite, but the menu is memorable enough to make you want to come back and explore more. Overall, a solid first visit, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other specialties.
