    Taro Coconut Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Christa M.

    We ordered both the Taro Coconut Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea when we stopped by. We arrived near closing time and they helped us out right away. The inside was well lit up, fully decorated, and there was plenty to see. They also had board games spread out for one's use. The drinks were good and we will stop by again if and when in the area.

    Black dragon milk tea - no sea grass jelly. Delicious! 10/10 recommend.

    I love this boba spot - the customer service is always great and the drinks hit the spot! I like trying different boba spots especially in the East Valley since there are so many but I continue to come back to Hi 5 Tea!

    I was craving some boba and this was conveniently on my way, so I stopped in one weekday morning. I had the place to myself and I was impressed with the layout of this spot. There are arcade games as well as traditional board games, plus a make your own noodle station which I had heard about at other countries places. The gal at the counter was friendly and welcoming. I asked about a few menu items and decided to go with the butterfly milk tea latte which comes with brown sugar, milk tea, honey boba, foam top, and a blue coloring to create an aesthetically pleasing effect. Prices were on the higher side but it was nice that boba is included so there's not an extra charge. I liked the salty flavor of the cream topping and the drink was pretty good. The boba could've been chewier and something in the drink unsettled my stomach a bit (could've been all the lactose). Overall it was refreshing and I'm glad I stopped by.

    Came in on a Wednesday night and it was empty. I got a Taro Storm, Oreo milk tea and Okinawa Milk Tea. Unfortunately, the drinks were not good. Very bland and watery. I will not be coming back.

    Hi 5 Tea has learned to adapt since it's inception. While it's appearance inside has changed a few times since it's opening, the service is still great. Although it is not located in a highly trafficked area, you should visit. They have some new innovations that will entice you to stop by. First they have some claw machines that are easier to win. While we are there we played five rounds of the boxing game. We also played a few claw games and won a hello Kitty plushie. Next they have a Ramen station with a good selection of Ramen. You do not need to travel to Tempe to a place where you can pick out Ramen and then you can cook and eat it there. They are open till 10pm. 3rd they have updated their flavors of drinks and storms. Have you ever wanted to try Durian? Most places do not offer this flavor. They have it as a duran storm but it tastes authentic and your tastebuds will be confused if you have never had it. Some might think it tastes like a mix of fruit and garlic, so be warned all who have heard about it but are not used to it's unique taste. They have some other great flavors. They also have waffles and serve blue bell ice cream. Say hi to Andy and enjoy the new flavors and options. check out the pics at the end to see the new additions

    Deluxe Mangonada & Dragon Fruit Storm
    Cemby K.

    Cute little tea spot with snack options and claw machines!!! We had the Deluxe Mangonada and it was overflowing that they had to put it in a bitter container! It was refreshing and delightful with the right amount of tajin. I had the Dragonfruit storm and it was also very good! Claw games were 1 token each and there was a promo if you spent $20 you were guaranteed a prize but we only spent $10 to try it out. Service was amazing and this tea shop is adorable!!

    Claw machines
    Lien S.

    This place has changed a lot since the last time I was here. That was probably early last year. They added claw machines, two racks of assorted ramen and machines to cook your ramen. I just came for a drink since I was in the area and wanted something cold. Got the taro coconut storm which was good but a bit pricey. Think it was almost $7 without any boba, other toppings, or tip!! Thats a lil high. Service was great though. She gave me time to look over the menu and then started on my drink as soon as I finished ordering

    Kumquat coconut tea
    Emily L.

    I'm honestly so surprised no one has mentioned how sweet the drinks here are! I have a bit of a sweet tooth and will go anywhere between 50% to 100% sugar -- but I asked for low sugar here and still added a whole cup of water to my tea to make it more drinkable. I had ordered the kumquat coconut tea, which came with rainbow jelly and pieces of coconut for a nice texture. But the sweetness was hard to get past. My friend had the same experience with the milk tea at 50% sweet, but water would've just watered the drink down, so that was pretty unfixable. The popcorn chicken was pretty good -- very flavorful, although a bit salty. Plus, the people working there were very kind, so I wanted to enjoy it, but I don't think I'll be back.

    Very cute spot. I recommend mixing their Storm drinks. I got the Mango and Dragonfruit, which is creamy and just right amount of sweetness for me. I usually get most of my drinks half sweet as well. While you wait they have board games and old school video games, which I think most boba spots should have. Another standard I think most boba spots should have are snacks. Hi 5 has it and they go so well with their drinks.

    Stopped by this place with my family as we heard they have some claw machines that my kids missed playing with when we visited Japan. The amount of machines they had and plushies are pretty large and since they had a deal on the Friday for some bonus tokens we leveraged that so my kids could try a bunch of the machines. I think the claws themselves are pretty good and not as weak as some of places. Overall, I would recommend this place to those looking to try out some cool claw machines, get some family activity in and grab some boba tea at the same time.

    The atmosphere is fun and family friendly but the drinks were the star on this visit. The taro coconut milk tea with boba was BLENDED BLISS! It is the perfect combination of the two flavors and I would go out of my way just to have this drink again. The menu has a lot of great options so there is something for everyone. The service was great, the staff was chatting with us about the boba options and combinations to help us pick out the perfect drink.

    It's a cute little place in a shopping strip. Only one attendant the night we went so drinks were coming out slow. My 8 year old was able to win 4 plushies on her own. The machines weren't too hard to play.

    Drinks themselves are pretty good, but the boba is very bad. It's hard and chewy, probably sitting around all day. Workers are kind though!

    Authenticity -- 10/10 This place is actually real Taiwanese…read morefood. Not "inspired by," not Americanized, not playing games. This is the closest thing you're getting to Taiwan in Arizona right now. Service -- 10/10 You order at the counter, which threw us off for about two seconds, then we realized it just works. The owner is a super nice Taiwanese guy and the whole place feels chill and genuine. Deliciousness -- 10/10 We ordered a bunch of snacks and I'm telling you right now, the deep-fried stuff is non-negotiable. The popcorn chicken is life-altering. I don't even want to exaggerate but it actually changed my standards. The drinks are also dangerous. Smoothies and slushes both hit way harder than expected. Overall Score: 10/10 I would come back. I would bring friends. I would think about this food at 1 a.m. Definitely Unofficial Food Critic approved.

    This has been on my list for a long time to try and finally came in tonight for dinner…read more The place is very casual and frankly kind of dumpy but those are the best places for good authentic food! My family is from Taiwan and so I was looking forward to coming here and giving it a try. Now granted, I am picky when it comes to Taiwanese food, so if not made right, you will know about it. We ordered the ground pork over rice and Taiwanese braised pork over rice combos. Both dishes were pretty good. I dont have high expectations here in Phoenix and I was pleasantly surprised! We also checked out their cold case and lots of comforting dishes like Taiwanese pickled cabbage, marinated pig ears, marinated seaweed and tofu gan. We got an order of the seaweed and tofu gan and it was good. Also had a boba tea to go and it was as expected. Boba was chewy like it should be and for $3.35, pretty good deal. Overall, the food was good and there is a specials daily menu by the cash register but its written in Chinese, so you probably need to ask the owner what specials they are having or bring me with you! When we came tonight there was eel over rice, 3 cups chicken over rice combo and papaya milk and green bean sweet soup. I'd definitely come back here again when Im in the mood for Taiwanese food but I would skip dining in. I felt like I was in some school cafeteria, zero ambiance. But the food was legit!
