    Came here on a Saturday right when they opened. They only had the mini boba available. The drinks were good. It wasn't crowded and we were able to order right away, however, the girl at the counter was kinda rude. Not really inclined to return. Played good music in there though.

    Taro milk tea
    Rachel H.

    I'm obsessed with taro milk tea so I found Kim's Tea House by searching for milk tea spots on google map. It tasted exactly the way I wanted, perfect amount of sweetness to it. This location is also spacious inside if you want to sit down and enjoy your food or drink.

    This place never disappoints! The drinks are always perfect! The service was excellent and the prices are always fair! Love this place! Highly recommend!!

    Popcorn Chicken
    Jacquelyn C.

    The green thai tea here is alright, a bit too milky for my taste and not enough tea flavor. As for the popcorn chicken it was delicious and I love the amount of basil they put in. I do wish the basil was a bit crunchier.

    This is my go-to place for boba tea when in Houston. It's a reliable place that makes consistently good drinks. They have lots of options, it can even be overwhelming at times. They also have quite a few foods in case you want a snack. The staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and a cool (literally!) especially when you're escaping the hot humid Houston heat.

    Brown sugar whole milk - Brown Sugar Milk
    Carol C.

    Not my usual boba place. Stopped by here because it was on the way. The interior is very spacious and dim lighting. The service was quick and the cashier was very helpful with helping me pick my order. I got the brown sugar whole milk. I was warned that it's quite sweet and she recommended the brown sugar milk tea instead. I'll keep that in mind next time. The drink overall was very flavorful and sweet. I really liked it!

    Popcorn Chicken and Watermelon Juice
    Justin V.

    This place holds the number one spot in my heart for two things: the fresh watermelon juice and popcorn chicken! I'm not a fan of toppings in my drinks and their watermelon juice is the perfect level of sweetness on its own and is awesome for cooling off during the summer. The popcorn chicken comes in different spice levels that can be inconsistent at times, but the flavor is always there--crispy, juicy, and with lots of basil. I've never stayed long enough inside to chat but there's also a ton of seating and big tables suitable for big groups!

    Smoothie they have non dairy options which is good, the food is good but you can order food but they are charging 50 cents for sauce .....you order food and have to eat it dry with zero sauce I guess . Seems odd and cheap of them. I got an Avacado smooth it was ok, I said I want lite tapioca and I told them like barely any . You can see the pics doesn't look like lite or barely any but it's ok. The service was nice , other than charging and being cheap for sauce that kinda made me annoyed lol I don't wanna swipe my credit card for 50 cents . So the food wasn't that good without the sauce. This place deserves 4 stars but like the sauce ticked me off , I get it if you didn't order any food items asking for sauce but if you ordered the fried calamari like I did it should come with sauce ....

    It's Kim Possible to get a good tea here, you just have to know what to order. Otherwise other drinks are Odder. Don't order odder drinks. Not til you're older. I love Kim's Tea House. I have been to the now-closed-down Katy location a few times - but also to the one inside the Hong Kong City Mall. This location is going strong on Westheimer. I like it and they are friendly and the products are good. Not my favourite Bubble Tea in town but definitely worth a try. Looking forward to coming back here and sampling a few more things. One of the original Bubble Tea Shops of Houston and they still make good products similar to Teahouse after all these years. They're Vietnamese so try the coffee and such, don't expect Taiwan style tea here, for that there are plenty of chains around. There are much better Boba shops out there, I know, but with lots of varying standards of Viet shops around Houston, if you want the original and one which is still going strong and doing well after all these years, this is one of those brands.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Huyen C.

    This place price wise is awesome. Boba & finger food is definitely priced well & super good. I ordered popcorn chicken (medium spice) and they came out fresh/hot. Spice level was super good, definitely had a kick to it. Boba was good but I also got zero sugar added which was nice they had that option. We also got sweet potato fries & they were seasoned so well! Food comes in bags & they have toothpicks to each which I preferred. Great place. Plenty of seating and parking. Quiet too, and we saw several people studying.

    Reduced hours until further notice

    New hours in pictures. One of the tastiest bubble tea options outside Chinatown. The avocado mango smoothie and the black sugar smoothie at 25% sweetness/50% ice are my go-tos.

    Thai tea
    Maria S.

    I was going to get a haircut next door and saw people coming out with drinks. I went in and asked if they have Thai tea. They do. It wasn't that good. I've had better. I didn't finish it. I saw that they have a few meal items. There is plenty of seating but the customers I saw there were taking their drinks to go.

    059. Thai Green Tea
    Melissa H.

    Love the drinks and snacks here!! They have a great selection of here with awesome customer service. Wait time is typically 10-15 min depending on how busy they are. - Thai green tea (5/5): you can never go wrong with their Thai green tea. Very flavorful and aromatic with perfect tea to milk ratio. I always order it with boba (of course before it's sold out) - Thai tea (5/5): again another classic. Can't go wrong at Kim's. I would highly recommend it with boba. - Strawberry green tea (4.5/5): super aromatic green tea with a hint of jasmine. Only complaint is they use strawberry syrup, but it's still good! - Calamari/popcorn chicken/squid balls (5/5): these are amazinggg! Always get them spicy!

They have two new sandwiches on the menu, so I definitely had to try at least one of them. I went with the Cilantro Lime Steak sandwich, and was thoroughly satisfied! You get a nice-sized Cuban loaf, with lots of beef, string carrots, cucumbers, gobs of fresh cilantro, and a delicious cilantro lime dressing drizzled over the top. There is also a garlic mayo spread generously on the bread, so when it is perfectly toasted, it reminded me of garlic bread! And of course, I had to have my usual barbecue chips to top it all off. Another chef's kiss for a delicious sandwich! I will definitely be back to try the other new sandwich, the Buffalo Chicken Glaze!

We got the pastrami royale (14.99$) and the mahanattan melt (12.99$) and both were delicious. They were made fresh in front of you and you could personalize and add more topping if you wanted any. I love how they display the meats on a baking sheet which is so aesthetic. So incredibly flavorful and delicious. And the presentation was just wow!! I would highly recommend if you're in the area

Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average. We split an open face pastrami (which they brought an extra plate) and we are glad we did. The potato salad is tiny. Too much sandwich for one but not enough potato salad for two! The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet. We also had the apple pie alamode. Also pricey and gigantic. It was warm and delicious. Glad we tried this icon. We went at lunch and they get quite the crowd. You are not rushed at all.

My partner wanted to grab lunch here so we tried for the first time this place. We got a simple sandwich and elote which the staff said it should take 15-20 mins. We waited and waited it past 40+ mins and I went to ask. - First was that they lost our order number and they couldn't find it. - Second the manager began to say our order was taken by someone else and then that my partner grabbed it. Switching her words back and forth and not believing what we had said. I asked how did we grab our stuff if I still have the device to notify when our food is ready. - Third she completely stopped talking to us and went to go help at other customers. I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.

It is not easily visible from the street but there is a sign on Gessner that will help you find it. Inside it's a counter service restaurant. I wanted a cheesesteak but had a little difficulty finding it on the menu because it's located under the heading From The Grill and there it's called a Philly Steak. For a place that has cheesesteaks in its name I thought that it should have a section with that name somewhere on the menu. So I ordered a Philly Steak for $9.99 and added an order of fries for another $3.49 along with a canned soft drink. The food took less than 10 minutes. The sandwich came with the requisite meat, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and provolone cheese all on a soft bread bun, it was very good tasting but I wanted more content inside the bun. The Philly Cheesesteaks that I have had in the Philly area had more meat, cheese and everything else. I would have gladly paid $2-3 more for that. Like I said, very good tasting but give me more filling! The fries were large crinkle cut ones and were served hot but they were also a little soggy in the middle. Perhaps undercooked? Finally they charge extra for a credit card without any signage I saw other than when the clerk ran up the bill. I wanted to give a 4 score but have to go with a 3 instead.
