Food : My favorite is the popcorn chicken and fries! It is my go-to! Tea : Their teas are fairly priced, some of their teas taste a bit powdery such as the Taro and Thai tea; so I often opt for the kreama teas! There are many workers and it always is ready in a timely manner. There is seating but it is often occupied. read more

i-Tea - Popcorn Chicken - Ramen Near Me - Milpitas, California

Was in the area and found i-Tea on yelp. I ordered a strawberry green tea. It was inedible, so I had asked the staff to remake it and just asked for green tea and boba. Staff didn't ask any questions and remade it quickly. The regular green tea and boba were quite good. Maybe their strawberry syrup went bad or just isn't fit for my taste buds. If I'm in the area again, would be open to trying their regular green tea again. Parking was relatively easy in the plaza. Quite a bit of seating inside. read more

An update as you know what....i-Tea is one of our go-to spots. Though it's now climbing in price to match its competition. Their mobile app is nice to have especially since you can now easily swap out a topping that comes with a drink with one you want for free. Service is pretty quick though this last time our bag was not very clean and it had tea stains which made us think our drinks were leaking. I think it just happens with the quickness. It's definitely a good spot to grab boba, just avoid peak times as parking can be crazy and the lines also atrocious. That's where the app helps. read more

Stopped here because I was in the area visiting a different business. Came because I wanted to try the Boba and ended up getting the garlic short rib noodles just to try them out. The noodles came with a lot of food so I was able to share with someone else and was still full. The honey, brown rice milk tea was really good and not super overwhelming and sweet. My husband got the Taro milk. Tea was probably my favorite perfect balance of flavor and the boba with it wasn't too mushy or hard. Literally perfect consistency. The staff were really nice and you could tell that they enjoy their job because they were working hard but also vibing to music. read more

I was in Milpitas for an event and was looking for a place to grab a snack, perhaps a popcorn chicken. Looking through Yelp, I found i-Tea, which seemed like a try-able option. My friend got a boba tea drink, and I got the popcorn chicken. He liked his drink, but the popcorn chicken was kind of a let down. The popcorn chicken was basically a lot of chicken bits in a heavy coating of bread crumbs. The layer was so thick that it felt like I was just eating breading with a side of chicken. You can see in my images that each piece of chicken has the same uniform cylindrical shape, reminiscent of a potentially frozen or highly-processed chicken nugget. And not to totally bash the efforts of the dish, but it was just lacking in flavor. Visually, you can see there are bits of garlic, and basil. However, my guess is that they were more of a garnish, or tossed together at the end. Inside the restaurant, there was plentiful amounts of seating. It almost felt like there was too much seating which made it feel more crowded than it actually was. On the TV's there was some sort of anime being played. Overall, my experience could have been better, and perhaps my bar for popcorn chicken is set too high for what we got that day. read more

Had a quick late lunch here, but unfortunately it was disappointing. I ordered the pork curry rice, and it really missed the mark -- the curry portion was very minimal, and the pork was so dry and chewy that I had a hard time finishing it. I honestly wouldn't recommend this dish. The tea I ordered was just average as well. Overall, not the best experience. read more

This place is always a good option for a quick lunch or pick up to meet with friends. The popcorn chicken is fried and seasoned really well, but I do wish they go back to using whole garlic or large sliced garlic. Still ordering it every time though The boba drinks are also done well and consistent! I love that! My go-tos are the Panda drink or Milk tea tofuhua. There seems to always be a line when I go but it's not a problem. The wait isn't very long. There are a few tables outside to sit and wait, and the tables inside are clean to sit at while waiting for my order. I've probably tried everything and I can say they make drinks and food consistently well read more

I really like this place! I mostly just get food here, recently got the popcorn chicken again, which flavor wise is great, and also got the egg tofu, which was really tasty and well made. The tofu is super soft while the outside is crunchy and flavors are similar to takoyaki. I'm guessing they just add similar sauces The menu is genuinely huge! I definitely haven't tried all their categories of foods and drinks, but it's impressive they're able to provide all of that. Service is efficient and there was plenty of seating when I went. Parking is also pretty easy, there's a large parking lot to the south of the series of businesses there if the limited spots directly in front are filled. read more

i-Tea - popcorn chicken and japanese egg tofu - Ramen Near Me - Milpitas, California

Ordered curry katsu rice. It did not come with enough curry sauce. I asked for more sauce (done it before without question). Then the store manager came to me and told me that he is aware of it, but they'd need to charge for the extra sauce. They did not charge me this time. But if the store knows the problem and does not improve it, why confronts the customer and asking to charge for the curry sauce that should have been provided? Budgetary airline that charges for everything? read more

I-Tea use to be my go-to spot for boba and popcorn chicken but as the years went by, they've raised prices while shrinking the amount of drink received. The popcorn chicken also has inconsistent quality, with it depending on how used the cooking oil is. Other than that, the drinks themselves aren't too bad. read more

First time at this location so I don't normally come here but I was meeting up with friends. I ordered the popcorn chicken, my usual, I asked the worker if I could get the garlic cooked because they serve it raw which is disgusting.. the worker said no, they couldn't do that and when I mention the other location doing it when asked, they asked one of the other worker and they said they could. When I got my chicken, most of the garlic was hiding at the bottom and wasn't even cooked when I asked. Just cook it with the chicken, is that so hard? I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because they do serve other food like ramen and onigiri but I won't be coming back to try. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening. The store was quite empty, but a couple of groups came in for to-go orders. There were a few tables for dine in. The staff were nice and attentive. Ordered the tonkotsu ramen, popcorn chicken and beef rice bowl, and each item was good. The popcorn chicken had the texture closer to nuggets than actual chicken pieces, but it was cooked well with good seasoning. There's quite a lot of parking next to the store. Would come by if I'm in area again! read more

Since I am from out of town, I am not sure if this place is in a popular area. The spot itself was in a weird corner so parking is very limited. I am just glad to see an I-Tea here because the one from my city has permanently closed, so I was thrilled to purchase a couple of their drinks. Very similar menu; so many yummy things to choose from. Overall, good experience, but parking is my only thing I had to mention. read more

This has been my new boba spot when I'm out in this area. They have a really good mango sago with chunky mango bits. I can literally slurp this down in 5 minutes. They also have tons of drinks AND food choices. Great place to stop for lunch and treats and better than fast food. Today I'm trying my first grilled unagi avocado Onigiri which cost $12.95. read more

i-Tea never misses! Their popcorn chicken is always crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned -- seriously addictive. I also love their mango and strawberry teas; they're super refreshing and always hit the spot. Great food, great drinks, and quick service every time! read more

Solid spot when we need a quick meal. Our go-to orders are the tonkatsu ramen and the beef & onion udon. The drinks at this location are just alright and feel slightly pricier than at other locations. Ordering online or in-store are both efficient and orders come out promptly and correct. Location is great as well and there is a small shared lot. Definitely recommend for those who need a quick meal fix! read more

Double Chocolate Tea Bobaccino Judgment: high B- honestly a lot lighter and more balanced than I thought it would be trades a bit of the tea's presence for a better overall experience with some dark, nutty chocolate flavor and a touch of crème brûlée the chocolate syrup/crème brûlée compensates for the watery texture/taste of the cream that the signature boba mt suffers from not super heavy but on the sweeter side and leaves a bit of sugar feel behind for a specialty drink, has a pretty competitive price especially in this economy carries iTea on its back to a high B- $5.95 + tax 2/24/25 read more

This is my first time back in yeeaaars. I use to frequent this i-Tea all the time in high school when it first opened. Like I remembered, i-Tea offers a wide selection of drinks and food. It was a bit overwhelming to order at first, but we ended up ordering the (B8) sun moon lake boba milk tea, calamari, and popcorn chicken. Boba drinks here are standard. Their snack foods are good though! No complaints here really; everything was nicely seasoned, coated, and fried. The popcorn chicken has more white meat than crispy breading compared to other boba shops -- which I don't really mind since I'm getting more protein in but I can definitely see this being an issue for some customers. I guess you can say that they're nuggets disguised as taiwanese popcorn chicken. I use to love coming here for ramen, but unfortunately I can't speak on it for this particular visit. Was very impressed to see onigiri on the menu as well. Orders came out quick. Decent pricing. Clean space with many tables available. read more

i-Tea has been here for over a decade. I think I've only tried it once. l've gone to the one in San Jose off of Capitol Expressway. This location serves a bit more than the other store does, like Ramen, Onigiri, in addition to their usual fried appetizers. The service was nice and friendly. The tables are closer together here. Both inside and outside seating. I ordered the Khoyo Grape Fruit Tea with grape jelly. I got it their regular way. It was so refreshing, but it was too sweet for me. I'd get it less sweet next time. The grape jellies were good. read more

One of my fav boba spots for drinks and popcorn chicken but since pandemic they've increased their prices to nearly double and it's much higher than most places with same portion of food and drinks. I would give this place 4 stars but due to increase in price over the years it's a 3. It's unfortunate how many businesses are taking advantage of inflation and increasing their prices to beyond reasonable. Ridiculous and disappointed. read more

i-Tea opened where Mandalay Noodle was a decade ago. Small dining area inside. 2 tables outside. Minamal decor... Offerings (upgraded from origins): Jelly series, fruit tea, milk tea, summer frosty, sea salt kreama, iced milk, hot drinks, ramen, appetizers/snacks... Eats: basil popcorn chicken (9.50) -ordered at counter, kiosk also available. Ready 5 minutes+. Order # shouted out.. -big chunks of moist, not juicy chicken. Crunchy panko crust. Ambiguous flava leaning basil with tinge of garlic. *many shriveled basil leaves and whole garlic cloves at bottom of box. Flavas not infused into/onto chicken. 3.5 stars may not order pop chik. again. read more

I love boba in general and this place has a variety of boba drinks available. Their mango sago is popular. I always go for their milk teas over the non caffeinated options. The popcorn chicken tastes good too. read more

i-Tea remains one of the top boba spots in Milpitas, offering a diverse drink menu with something for everyone. In addition to their wide selection of beverages, they also have a great variety of tasty snacks. My family has crowned i-Tea as the best place for popcorn chicken--my son even insists on ordering two servings so he can have his own! Ordering is easy, with options to place your order at the counter, use the self-order kiosk inside, order online, or call ahead. While many boba shops come and go, i-Tea has been a beloved staple in town for nearly a decade. read more

Went in today on a Sunday and it was SO PACKED!! Business must be doing great!! I wanted the #13 Ovaltine Hot drink but they didn't do it... so we just got the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken didn't disappoint. The prices used to be $7.95. Now it's $10.39. I wouldn't sit and dine in since it was so packed. order numbers were not going in ordwe. read more

The most recent two visits with Raman and rice plate, quality is BAD. there is no taste on the food and soup. basically just hot water with noodle! It was good couple years back but not anymore. Snack maybe oaky like popcorn chicken. read more

Last time I visited, I ordered to-go. When the tonkotsu ramen was $13 it was an ok alternative to the ramen stores. Now at $15 and with cha siu that was dry, it doesn't seem like it's worth it, though they still pack the noodles, broth, toppings separately. I also ordered the popcorn chicken and that seems to have not been as good as I remembered from previous visits. They may have changed how the chicken is cut and prepared. The Thai milk tea no option to change the sugar level and I mostly only tasted the milk and sugar. I went at 6 on a Saturday and while there were a lot of orders, there weren't many people sitting at the tables. Service was adequate. Seating area has some space between tables so it doesn't feel cramped there, but the interior is a rather plain light color, and for me it doesn't have as much of a cozy feeling but if you are engrossed in conversation you may not notice. Parking next to or near the building tends to be full so you may need to park in the area off to the side. read more

I've been to to iTea over the years, back when it used to be $2.75 - $3 per cup. This is my go to for convenience, but not a high end boba shop that sticks out for me. I always get 0% sweetness since all the drinks already come pre sweetened. Usually plentiful portions of toppings are given. Most fruit tea drinks are made w syrups and im not sure if anything is made fresh. read more

I took about 3 sips and couldn't finish my drink. My go-to is 0% sugar, add boba - which usually makes it the perfect sweetness for me. But this was sooo sickly sweet I could not drink it. But not only that, the flavor of the jasmine green was so weak. My husband got the brown sugar boba latte and it just didn't taste that great as most places do that have brown sugar boba. He got 30% sugar where he usually gets 25% at other places and it just lacked flavor. I think it would be better if they replaced their almond milk with oat milk as it's a better pairing with teas. Super disappointed and was sad to waste so much. read more

I visit this i-tea location when I'm at work and love their generous portions when it comes to popcorn chicken. I tend to always get the same couple items at various i-tea locations and this location is solid. Love that I can order ahead for pickup during lunch read more

Pros: Good selection of drinks and food. Can adjust sweetness and ice level. Popcorn chicken and musubi are good. Price is comparable to other nearby boba/tea place. Servers and cashiers are friendly. Cons: Boba pearls is not tasty. It's basically just something chewy with no flavor added to the drink. I've had better boba somewhere else so I never get it from here. Quantity and quality of the food is inconsistent. Sometimes the container is almost full, other times it looks like someone picked on it. Fried tofu is drowning in oil. Then they douse it with too much brown sauce. Fried Calamari is sometimes mostly rings or mostly tentacles. Never even portion. Dining room is not too big. Can be tight especially when boxes of supplies are in the same space or when there is a line and people are hovering around you while you're eating. Floor needs attention. Parking can be difficult especially on weekends. Spots can be tight. This place has potential. Hopefully, they look into improvement by listening to their customer's feedback. read more

This review is mainly to review the Roasted Oolong Kreama drink at this location, and suggestion for the staff to look into their creama recipe. This is typically my go-to drink and I frequent the Fremont location which makes this drink very well. When I ordered this at the Milpitas location, I was greeted with a globby white creama that was floating on the oolong tea. I tried to whirl the drink but the glob was just floating there and didn't blend in at all. I asked the staff if this was what it typically looks like and they kindly offered to remake it. But the remake looked exactly the same. They said the creama is a hit or miss based on who makes it, which is not a very promising rationale. My suggestion is to ensure some quality control as best as you can. Customers are not typically happy paying $7+ for a "hit or miss" quality boba. read more

i-Tea - Expectations vs sad reality (glob of cream floating on the oolong that didn't mix into the tea no matter how much I tried) - Ramen Near Me - Milpitas, California

Came here for popcorn chicken and a regular jasmine milk tea. First, the prices are ridiculously expensive compared to other boba shops and the quality & taste of the food DEFINITELY does not justify it. The popcorn chicken is literally chicken breast rolled in some flour and fried. No flavor whatsoever other than oil and dryness. Additionally, there is no basil with it and the garlic is literally raw chunks.... Would not recommend this here if you are seeking your typical taiwanese popcorn chicken, save your $11.99 and go somewhere else. Milk tea was nothing special, very standard taste that you can get at a Quickly for $4-5 bucks , but instead here it's around $7-8. On top of that , they gave like two pieces ice and the drink tasted super watered down. If I had to guess, they made the drink ahead of time and just had it sitting in the cooler waiting for a customer to purchase. read more

+ service was quick! can order at kiosk or at the counter. + the honey green tea w/aloe drink is pretty good, not too sweet even at 80% in my opinion, and probably something I would get again! ... but moving into the next drink.. - the white peach oolong tea is undrinkable maybe it's drinkable if you enjoy a diluted version of peach flavored vodka...... because I'm not even kidding, that drink itself even at 80% sweetness had an aftertaste like diluted watery alcohol. And to make sure it wasn't just my taste buds, I surveyed my friends, none of whom wanted to drink it past a few sips ... so either the formula is messed up somehow or there's too much syrup? Or maybe white peach oolong itself is not a good combo. But either way I was disappointed. Had to buy the green tea to make up for it lol. (So if you're reading this, I urge you to consider a different drink) read more
