They have such amazing flavors. The brown sugar boba with the Egg Foam, it's like a custard, it's amazing. The regular one is one of my favs as well. They have a cute little shirt and clothes rack. Place was very clean when I went. Customer service was good , she suggested good options and made sure questions were answered. Never seen or gotten bubble tea this big, not a bad price either ! read more

Hi Bubble Tea - Brown sugar Fresh Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

The drink was too sweet, almost like chemicals, and the service was terrible. They didn't even make me feel welcome when I placed my order. Even though the line wasn't long, it still took over 20 minutes to get just one drink. Very disappointing. read more

Every time I come here I forget to check in but this time I wanted to make sure that I did I've tried about 50% of their menu so far and my top 3 favorites would have to be the Thai Green Milk Tea, Rose Black Milk Tea, and the Ube Milk Tea I always get them with Less Ice, Each drink is customized to the customer's preference which I like the flavors are intense depending the only down fall I don't like is that some of the teas are powdered based and on occasion not mixed well with the liquid read more

My boyfriend and I were eating lunch next door and I saw that I had this bubble tea place on my bookmarks. So afterwards, we went over to get a fruit tea to share and noticed there were two doorways to enter. A good quarter of the door had cute sleepwear clothes that you can purchase with all types of patterns for all ages and sizes. The rest of the shop had a couple tables with chairs, a long table with several bar stools lined up, and finally the ordering counter. It can get a bit confusing with who is done ordering or has not ordered as the double entryways make it confusing. Another part that threw me off was no greeting or mention from the cashier that they could take our order. When he did acknowledge us, he rudely asks if we were going to order. I was confused as the place was so bright and vibrant, so it felt like whiplash when the tone and attitude of our cashier was so cold and rude. We ordered our drink and the lady who made it was very friendly at the very least. The lychee green tea with 70% sweetness was the best drink to sip after lunch. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and tasted very good, as well as good ice to drink ratio as I did ask for light ice. read more

The best boba shop, great menu, has the best variety, staff is always nice, they're quick with drinks & they always taste amazing. I moved to a place that doesn't have any boba shops & I miss hi- bubble so much! read more

I came in here for the first time ever today; I was craving a matcha milk tea with tapioca. I was so glad I chose this boba shop because the matcha has a strong green tea flavor and doesn't taste like pure sugar, unlike a lot of ones I've tried. The tapioca were also a great consistency & the staff were very friendly, polite & informative. I would absolutely come back! read more

The only bubble tea place in the area with chrysanthemum tea which is my favorite. You get to pick the level of sweetness and ice level. This place is always busy but service is alway fast. There isn't much to this place but a counter to order your drinks and a little sales area. Don't expect to be able to sit and drink your Rea. read more

I love Boba but this place is something different .. I'm in love love with Hi Bubble Tea. The flavors are so unique and the popping boba, the oreo mixed one, and passion fruit are like a taste of heaven. Try it out! Especially the Oreo Taro one wow read more

This place was just OK. Can't say too much but it was worth the try. Will I be back?? Eghh...too early to say. They also have a section of merchandise..mainly pajama sets. Anime PJs?? Thought that was strange. But I guess it's a common thing in Asia so I'm not too surprised. Just didn't think I'd actually see it here. read more

I love their brown sugar boba. It's literally perfect taste and I'm so happy I discovered it!

I was here on Saturday, having one of the worst days of my life. It was my first time in the shop, and the sweetest little Asian girl was my cashier. She was so kind and understanding, even as I was sobbing my eyes out. She didn't show any attitude or impatience when I stuttered over my words--just pure kindness. She truly made my day. read more

My sister and I ordered some bubble tea on their website for pick-up. There were no additional fees to order online nor were their online prices higher than what is on their menu. It said it would be ready in 15 minutes, and our orders were indeed ready for pick-up in about 15 minutes (although we did place our order about 30 minutes after the opened). The owner (I'm assuming) called me and my sister to let us know our drinks were ready. I gave an extra star for how friendly the owner was, and how quick and efficient it was to get our seven bubble teas. I ordered one for my cousin, and she, my sister, and I all thought the tapioca was a little too hard. I tried the Grapefruit Green Tea (added tapioca) and Passionfruit Tea w/ Aloe Vera (added crystal boba), both at 30% sugar level. I liked when both, but liked the passionfruit one better; it had more flavor, though still a little sweeter than what I expected for 30% sugar, and the aloe vera and crystal boba went well with it. My sister also thought she can go less sugar next time, but liked all her flavors. We definitely plan on giving more flavors a try, and hopefully, the tapioca will have a better texture next time. read more

Let me tell you, if your drinks are normal but your service happily and friendly, they will still come back. But if your drinks are delicious but your service is bad, no one will come. Couple times when i come the girl skinny her face like someone owns her money. Never smile or friendly and angry. Right now a lot of the milk tea is open and they're good then you 10000000 . If you don't improve your service you will lost customers soon . read more

This place has a fantastic selection of bubble tea. I also liked their website where you can see the entire menu with pictures and prices. I tried Durian Milk Tea with tapioca boba ($5.50 before tax) and Passion Fruit Green Tea with tapioca boba ($5.30 before tax). All prices as of March 2022. The passion fruit tea was very very refreshing! The durian tea smelled horrible as expected but the taste was really good. read more

Clean and lively place, staff was professional and you have a choice of how much sugar you want in the bubble tea, from regular to 30%. I recommend this place to anyone that wishes to regulate their sweetness to their liking. read more

After eating Korean food, my friend and I went to look for a boba place to "cleanse" our palates (more like an excuse to drink boba LOL). It's located next to ZEN Ramen & Sushi Burrito restaurant in the South Tacoma Village Shopping Center (SMALL center) on S Tacoma Way. There's a parking lot for customers to park at. I got their dark roasted oolong milk tea with 50% sweetness and light ice. The drink wasn't too bad! It wasn't super amazing, but I can definitely taste the roasted oolong flavor that many shops do not have. Definitely liked that aspect. My friend got their Hokkaido milk tea with 50% sweetness. This was actually relatively good too! They offer 5% military discount (darn, missed this) and also have a stamp card system with buy 8 and get 1 free offer. This place didn't seem like those traditional, popular Taiwanese boba shops (Vietnamese-owned), but they are pretty good and following the hype of those stores. The next time I'm around the area, I do want to try their other drinks. They offer a wide variety of drinks outside of milk tea including smoothies and teas. read more

The owners are extremely friendly and have loved supporting this spot since they opened right before the pandemic, I believe. They started remembering my sister and I by name, LOL. Their boba is always fresh and can't beat their number of options for drink varieties. They do a great brown sugar boba which is tough to find in the Tacoma area. read more

Hi Bubble Tea, enough said this place is legit! If it's your first time coming the menu can be kind of overwhelming with all the different options from teas to bobas, to sweetness and ice amount the options are truly endless. But once you figure it out they make these magical drinks that are just so good and they can give you plenty of suggestions. My husband and I love bubble teas and this place delivers on taste. read more

Probably one of my favorite bubble tea places. Their menu is pretty large so it's somewhat daunting, but hey, lots of choices. My go-to is the macchiato milk tea. Love it here. My favorite thing about Hi Bubble Tea is how you can order online for pick up. It's super convenient. The workers are also all very nice too. Super friendly. read more

I'd like to think of myself as a bubble tea/boba fiend as I'm the type that would always want bubble tea or dessert even after a large meal. So let me tell you that this is the best bubble tea spot hands-down. I've tried probably all the possible places of bubble tea around the Seattle-Tacoma area stretch and I'm so glad I live in Tacoma to go to this gem almost everyday. My favorite thing to get is Hokkaido milk tea and my friends all like to get the number 7: brown sugar milk tea. My friends think that the bubble tea can actually be a little too sweet but sugar is basically my middle name, so I usually suggest people to start with the 70% sugar level. Their tapioca? Immaculate taste. Their service? Exquisite. Their stamp card? Mine's always filled LOL. Let's be honest, I'll see y'all tomorrow. read more

I was surprised at the wide variety of drinks they offered and I love the customization options as well like sweetness/ ice level. I enjoyed the red guava green tea w/ matcha crystal. They also offer military discount 5% off and/or a buy 8 get 1 free deal! This is mostly a small takeout store where you can also order online. We went on Sunday afternoon and it was very busy, there's no indoor dining so hoping that this option is available soon! Overall, one of the best bubble tea shop near Tacoma/lakewood! read more

My review is based on their brown sugar milk tea. That is what i always get when i get boba. I have been looking for a place nearby me that offers a really good one and this place is it for me. I love that the staff asked me if i wanted non dairy or dairy and made sure i get what i wanted. milk tea was delicious and also i love the little clothes they sell in the shop. Right across is the zen restaurant so having a boba as dessert after a bowl of noodles is a perfect ending. read more

I am mighty glad that there is another boba shop in this area. I hated having to drive to the mall to get my fix on milk tea. Additionally, with COVID, we couldn't really go to the mall for drinks. I prefer ordering online these days and with this establishment, they have one of the easiest ways of ordering online. I was actually surprised at how easy and fast it was to order. Once the order is paid for, the final page will show you the estimated time for pick up (usually within 15 minutes). Staff will call you once your order is ready for pick up. Same as if you were ordering in person, you can let them know how much ice you would like, how sweet you would like your drink to be, and what toppings you would like with your drink. Keep in mind that the toppings are an additional charge, which I find weird. I feel like that should be a part of the order. One thing I hope they will do in the future is add the smaller sized tapioca balls *cross fingers* to their topping options. Price can range between $4.50 - $5.00+. They have a variety of drinks which are not limited to teas. They offer smoothies as well. read more

I have been to this place three times. Each time I have been there is a line and for good reason: The place creates quality drinks! After enjoying my drinks each time, I finally decided to write a review. I think the thing I want people to know most is: If you are in the area-- heck if you want some good boba and are willing to drive-- try Hi Bubble Tea! The drinks: I've had the brown sugar boba milk tea twice. I've enjoyed it both times. I have a major sweet tooth but I pick the regular amount of sweetness. Anymore and my tastebuds would explode. If you're craving something sweet, this is just the thing to satisfy your desires. This pasty time I saw someone order a taro oreo smoothie. I'm not super adventurous when it comes to milkshakes and smoothies but I Oreos are one of my greatest weaknesses. The menu has the options of a vanilla Oreo smoothie and a taro Oreo smoothie. I almost went with vanilla but I thought, "I'm hardly ever come by and it's not like I can get a taro smoothie just anywhere." So I went for it. I was not disappointed. I don't really know how to describe the taste of taro in the smoothie apart from "really good and just the right amount of sweetness." If you want something cold, with the magic of Oreos blended in without going into a sweetness coma, this is the drink you have been waiting for. The shop: It's small and there's room for a group of four to sit down. Otherwise, you'll need to take your drinks to go. The service: The owner and workers are so kind and friendly. I really have enjoyed my encounters the past times I've gone here. Also, if you're military, you can get 5% discount! They also have a punch card reward system! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain when you try Hi Bubble Tea. read more

Friendly and delicious drinks! Quick service too and clean business. Will come back for sure!

More Bubble tea shops are coming down south which is a positivity in my opinion. They've got a wide range of selections from your fresh teas, fresh fruit teas, smoothies, milk tea, and milk foam teas. They've got an abundance of toppings and you get the options to choose you're ice and sugar level. I ordered the wintermelon milk foam and the atiso tea. The prices are relatively the same as anywhere else. And because they just opened they are currently doing a promotion where you buy 1 and get 1 free. I forgot when the end date for the promotion was so hurry and come get your deal!! read more

This is a great bubble tea Cafe, with lots of choices and selection. The menu is long and could be overwhelming, however there's a top ten list by the front counter. In addition to ordering, you can customize the sweetness and ice level. Given the size, there's a one way flow when placing orders, which makes the process smoother and faster. read more

Hi Bubble Tea - Ice Lemon Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

I was shopping at Hmart and was craving for bubble tea. As I look into Yelp, I found this place located closeby from Hmart. There were plenty of parking around the area. IMO I thought their bubble tea was mediocre. I do agree with some others that they do lack the tea flavors; it's more milky. I tried their oolong milk tea which I think isn't bad but a bit too sweet for my liking. They give you a punch card for purchasing their drinks. $5 drinks was a bit pricey but I guess that's how much bubble tea cost these days. If I'm ever in the area again, I will give their fruit teas a try. read more

Cute bubble tea shop with a decent number of seats and ample parking. You are able to customize ice and sugar levels. We docked a star because we liked less than half of the drinks. And another star for the service and price discrepancy. We ordered a total of 6 drinks. After every two drinks the cashier asked us if we were paying with cash or card, which we found a little annoying. Also, the cashier never stated the total. When I asked for the total, the cashier completely ignored my question and swiped my card. On the menu it states "Hi! Milk Tea w/ 3 toppings $5" we were charged $6.50. I guess the milk tea is $5 and each topping is 50 cents - wish it was more clear on the menu board. Currently there is a promotion, buy one drink get one free and a free key chain with purchase. Review of the drinks we ordered: Strawberry smoothie with lychee jelly: decent drink. Nephew loved it. Wintermelon fresh milk: best drink out of all the ones we ordered. Was a tad too sweet for my taste. If I were to come back, this is the only drink I would reorder (with 70% sweetness). Thai milk tea with herbal jelly: very little flavor. Macchiato milk tea: very thick, rich, and half and half-y. Nephew tried it and said it tasted "buttery" after giving us a disgusted face. Mango milk tea with tapioca boba and herbal jelly: also very thick and rich. Felt like I was drinking a lukewarm milkshake. Hi! Milk tea with crystal boba, tapioca boba and mango jelly: second best drink out of all the ones we tried. Would not try again with the $6.50 price tag. Way overpriced. If you like chewy boba this is the place for you. Lychee jelly and herbal jelly were pretty standard. read more

Ambiance is a bright with a mix of kpop and English covers playing over the speakers. It's a good place to hang out with friends and get drinks for a hot summer day. The boba selection is excellent, you can choose from certain teas to augment the sweetness and how much ice you'd like in your drink. Service is fairly quick, but this place is highly popular so on a very busy weekend you might be waiting 15 mins or more. However, it's worth the wait! read more

I've been here enough times to redeem a couple of their stamp cards for a free drink, so I'm overdue for a review! If you haven't figured it out already, I'm a huge fan of Hi Bubble Tea and it's my favorite tea spot in Tacoma. I've tried so many of their drinks including but not limited to: chrysanthemum, dark roast oolong, genmaicha, ceylon, atiso, and one of their latest additions - durian milk tea. All of their fresh teas are so delicious. I've gotten the chrysanthemum more times than I can count, and I love that they offer a jumbo size because I can't get enough. My bf enjoys their Vietnamese coffee, as it's a nice balance of sweet and bitter, and it's nice that they offer larger sizes than what you can normally get. The only drink I didn't like and wouldn't get again is the durian milk tea. It had an artificial durian flavor, like the durian extract that you can buy at the grocery store. The boba is okay, slightly softer on the outside and not as chewy as I would like, but still good enough that I will still order it from time to time when I am craving boba. Parking is not a problem since it's in a decently sized lot. read more
