Rice Balls
Leia Q.

We knew we had to get Junbi while we were in Houston for the weekend. They had a seasonal drink -- Pandan Matcha Latte and it was so refreshing! Of course, I had my usual Blended Dirty Matcha. Before we left town, we also got some of their delicious rice balls. They were perfect for the drive home and tasted really fresh. The space is so cozy and I love that they have board games we can play if we want to stay a while. There was also a photo booth for those who wanted to take pictures and have them printed out. There was a line and we were in a rush so we decided to skip it. We're definitely going back next time we're in Houston!

Hot Hojicha Latte (3PO)
Tiffini D.

Junbi is one of the only spots on the west side where I can find hojicha so it's been my go to when I'm out of powder and I can't make it on my own. I usually get the hojicha latte with cold foam, oat milk and light ice. It ends up being pretty pricy since they charge for alt milk, but convenience keeps me coming back. The yuzu dragonfruit refresher is my favorite drink in the summer and definitely with the price. I've also tried a few seasonal drinks and collabs. Overall, I keep coming back for the convenience, the customer service and the cute and clean space. They have a little Photo Booth and merch as well!

I don't know what happened to this place but it is not the same. The drinks are now in these coffee style containers which makes it harder to mix your drink. I guess they are trying to save cost, but it's messing up the experience. I also don't know if this is a corporate change or just a store change, but it is not a good one. They also have two different sizes now, but are ridiculously expensive. I have always ordered the rose water matcha cold brew and it usually comes with petals, or they ask if you want petals. Today it wasn't even on the menu, but the girl said they could make it. It came out horrible. It tasted like watered down matcha with some sweetener in it. There were no petals. I was really disappointed. I couldn't even properly mix my drink. My husband ordered the madagascar vanilla matcha cold brew and his tasted watered down too. One of the reasons we loved this place was that the matcha doesn't taste generic or watered down. It always was a quality matcha. Not today it wasn't. This place used to be a go to for us in KAT, but after today don't think I will be going anymore.

Junbi is located in Katy Asia town and offers a variety of drinks (i.e. matcha lattes, cold brews, hojicha, fruit teas, smoothies, etc.) The interior is super vibrant and cute with their use of bright colors and wood accents. My friend and I ended up ordering the Ube Matcha Latte and Pandan Matcha Latte with boba. And yes, you are able to adjust the sweetness, milk, and ice! S/O to our bobarista Paul! He was very helpful when it came to deciding what drink to order and had such good energy! Both drinks were yummy! I tasted both the pandan and ube more than the matcha but they were both still delicious! And the boba was soft and chewy. Overall, my friend and I both enjoyed our experience at Junbi and I can't want to come back and try their hojicha

I came in with high hopes for this spot based on what I had heard, but the drinks fell short of expectations. I ordered a few different ones to try: a Pandan Matcha Latte with Almond Jelly, another with Aloe Bits, and a Golden Peach Matcha Latte. The matcha itself was the biggest letdown. It seemed pre-made from a dispenser, and all three drinks tasted watered down. The pandan flavor came across as overly artificial, which overpowered rather than enhanced the drink. I was really looking forward to the Golden Peach Matcha Latte, but even the peach puree could not bring enough life to it. Maybe I visited on an off day, but I was definitely expecting more from this place. On the positive side, the decor is very cute and the staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience better overall.

I recently stopped by the Katy Asian Town area, and I decided to check out Junbi per my sister's recommendation. For a random Wednesday evening, I was surprised that the store was completely packed. They have a wide variety of matcha drinks, milk teas, fruit teas, refreshers, coffees, smoothies, soft serves, and rice balls. I got the coffee milk blend, and I really liked it. The drink had just the right amount of coffee without it being overpowering or bland. Not pictured, but I also tried their new pandan matcha latte, and that was really tasty. You could really taste both the pandan and the matcha flavors. I would definitely be back again next time I'm in the Katy Asian Town to try more things on their menu.

Strawberry matcha latte and Guava matcha latte
Andrea K.

Was pleasantly surprised by how the matcha was balanced out with the fruit flavors. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte at 100% sugar and the Guava Matcha Latte at 50% sugar. I would stick to the 50% sugar next time. There was a small line to order but service was relatively quick, and there were a couple tables and chairs to wait. While on the pricey side at base price, I would come back when craving matcha flavored drinks.

Cold Strawberry Matcha Latte (3PO)

Cute matcha shop in Katy Asia Town! We ordered several drinks and it did not disappoint, but my favorite was the strawberry matcha latte!

I was really excited when I heard that Junbi was opening a location in Katy, Texas! I was already aware that they have many locations in other states like California and Hawaii. We ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, Matcha Cold Brew, and the Guava Matcha Latte. The Madagascar latte was my favorite! I loved how you could taste the espresso, unlike most lattes where the coffee flavor tends to get lost when the milk and sugar is added. It had a great balance of flavors and wasn't overly sweet. As for the matcha drinks, I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of matcha in general, so my opinion might not be the best gauge for matcha lovers. The Matcha Cold Brew was not for me--it had a very powerful matcha taste, which I know some people would appreciate, but it was a bit too intense for my preference. On the other hand, the Guava Matcha Latte was more in my comfort zone. The milk helped dilute the matcha, making it less intense, which I liked. Plus, the guava puree added a nice tartness that balanced the drink really well. Overall, I can tell that Junbi uses high-quality matcha imported from Japan, not the kind you'd find at large coffee franchisees. If you're a matcha lover, this place is definitely worth checking out! I'd personally come back for that vanilla latte again and to try their matcha soft serve ice cream.

My sister has been liking matcha more and wanted to try Junbi. We ordered the mango matcha and the Madagascar vanilla matcha latte. Out of the two, we both liked the Madagascar vanilla matcha latte more. The matcha earthiness was still present, supported by the subtle sweetness of the vanilla. Next time, I think I would ask for it extra sweet but that's personal taste. I wasn't a big fan of the mango matcha latte. The flavoring was good when I mixed it but the texture of the mango bits kind of threw me off. I also felt like the matcha flavor in this one was a bit stronger than in the Madagascar vanilla latte. We came during dinner rush on Saturday so there was a bit of a wait to order and get our drinks but the decorations were cute and they have a photobooth!

Cold Strawberry Matcha Latte
Angelica C.

Strawberry Matcha Latte with boba, 10/10! So happy to visit this tea shop. I've never had a matcha latte with boba before and I know this time won't be my last! My drink was sweet, creamy, icy and refreshing. The matcha was not too overpowering and I could tell they used fresh strawberries for the syrup, none of that powdery stuff! It was super busy most likely since it just opened however we got our drinks within 8 minutes. We also got to take some fun pictures in their photo booth. It was $8 for 2 copies of a 4 pose strip. Will definitely return!

Cold Matcha Latte*****
Melissa H.

Tried their signature matcha latte, but was left a bit disappointed. The drink tasted quite watered down and lacked the bold, earthy matcha flavor I was hoping for. At $9.20 after taxes ($6.50 latte + 1.25 soy milk sub + .75 boba), it's definitely on the pricier end for Houston. For that price point, I expected a much thicker drink. Even in the picture you can see how light it is. Also on the menu, the non-dairy substitute is only .75c unlike the $1.25 that I was charged.

Evelyn L.

I was hoping for a good matcha experience, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet expectations. I ordered the 'Madagascar Vanilla Matcha' but it tasted more like watered-down milk than the rich, vibrant flavor I am use to having. It was pretty disappointing, especially given how much it was hyped up. On top of that, the customer service was lacking. The employees seemed cold and unfriendly, which made the whole experience feel less welcoming. I wasn't expecting overly cheerful service, but a little warmth would have made a big difference. I will say that there menu offers a lot of different flavor matchas compared to other places. The place is super cute. They even have a photobooth you can take pictures in.

Comfortable cushioned chairs/bench, it's actually not just for looks. Good amount of seating area, though, they could have added maybe 1 more. I got a Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle and House Blend Milk Tea with Yin-Yang Jelly. Though, the house blend milk tea was delicious, I specifically asked multiple of times if there's any tree-nuts, such as almond milk, because someone in my group has a severe tree-nut allergy. I have mentioned it many times, including what their egg waffle mix has (such as almond flours and what not). I was told the waffle was good to go but nothing about their yin-yang jelly. The young server was friendly but I don't think he realized the importance of someone not consuming tree-nuts if they have a tree-nut allergy. Luckily, we double checked with someone else after I questioned the drink and luckily the person who has a tree-nut allergy didn't try any of the drink. So, if you or someone in your group has a tree-nut allergy... possibly avoid this place or get a drink somewhere else. There's a big chance of cross-contamination even if the person who took your order knows the severity of it. Overall, it's a good bubble-tea IF AND ONLY IF THERE'S NO ONE IN YOUR GROUP WITH A TREE-NUT ALLERGY. Tea, at 20% sugar level was sweet enough and delicious without artificial taste. I can actually taste the tea and milk. Their Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle is cute in 3 shapes of cranes. The wing parts are nice and crispy but the center of the body is dry. There's no bounce to it. It's pretty thick and heavy. I would skip their cranes and just get drinks. Again, please beware if you or anyone has a tree-nut allergy.

After making their hyped debut nearly 2 years ago, Wanpo Tea Shop has remained one of my favorite…read morestops in Katy Asian Town (KAT). Their line of beverages have hit the spot in a way where I can laud them for their consistency in both customer service and selection of drinks. Their selection of drinks are broken down in milk tea, fruit tea, latte, "pure" tea, traditional, and cheese. Toppings include aiyu, grass, red bean, tapioca, pearl, and combined boba with sugar level adjustments. The standouts in each section for me are as follows: (pure) jinxuan oolong, kumquat lemon tea (fruit), winter melon lemonade (traditional), yamamasa koyamaen's matcha (latte), and their regular wanpo milk tea. If I'm feeling really indulgent, I'll get a cheese cream oreo but that's a rare occasion. They've done a good job of opening up the interior space and the layout is ideal for groups and solo action. This is likely to accommodate lines (if any) throughout the week. The illuminated tea areas is a nice decorative touch, There are some table + board games and the place is really pretty during the daytime when the natural light kicks in. WiFi is also on point. The staff is young, friendly, and mostly bilingual in Mandarin + English. Prices are the standard $5-7 per drink, and parking is always abundant in this part of KAT. Given Wanpo's Taiwanese roots and celebrated global brand, it only legitimizes (and further saturates) the greater Houston tea scene.

I had a very...weird experience at Wanpo. I ordered a Sugarcane Lemonade and when I tasted it, it…read moredidn't taste like Sugarcane, just straight lemon. Wanting to give Wanpo the benefit of the doubt, I asked if it could be remade because it was a $8 drink. The worker, whose name I believe is Eric, SNIFFED my drink through the straw and said that it's Sugarcane and gave it back to me.....He then said he wouldn't remake it because it smells like it...Huh..? I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!

I have a ton of younger cousins who are always working with an allowance budget, so finding somewhere that can actually appease their appetite without breaking the bank is not easy--especially if you're feeding 10+ kids. MeetFresh's $15 giant desserts are truly the king of both budget and flavor. I cannot stress enough how much of a hit this place was the first time I recommended it to my cousins. Whether I'm with them or not, they always make a point to stop by whenever they drive into Houston from College Station. For that reason alone, MeetFresh holds a special place in my heart. It has given my large family a fun, worthwhile experience time and time again. On my most recent visit, we had a friend flying in from Chicago, so we brought him and his girlfriend here. We collectively ordered the Taro Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, and wow--if you're a fan of Chinese herbal flavors, this is the dessert for you. I usually stick with the mango or strawberry fruit dishes, but this one reminded me of Sâm Bổ Lượng, a Vietnamese chè/sweet soup. The flavors were earthy, comforting, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. I genuinely could not stop eating it until the very end, when all that was left was a puddle of melted ice and mixed-up dessert "schlop" -- LOL. Truly, thank you, MeetFresh, for being such a great place to gather, share, and enjoy dessert without needing a huge budget.
