What a great drink spot: plenty of seating (2-tops, 4-tops, several couch areas, and a central bar table), anime on the tvs, wide variety of drinks as well as other menu items such as a variety of cookies and some ginger food like fries and popcorn chicken. My drink was a Mango Slurpy (50% sugar) and it hit the spot. Side note: love teahouses that have plenty of outlets for their patrons who like to study or work. All around a great experience from a friendly recommendation. read more

One of my favorite Boba drinks, except I prefer my drinks without the boba. My fave for a long time was the Foam Milk Tea along with Squid Balls. Sometimes I will order the Tiger Milk tea and just recently the Green tea with real fruits. It was unexpectedly good. Their side dishes are extremely tasty, especially the egg rolls, squid balls, even the french fries! read more

Not bad, and always hits the spot when I go-- food, service, games, plus vibe. Except for the cold air; I was not feeling it. Specifically, since I often tend to be chilly in most places. Regardless, this is a good stop to visit for a quick bite or to have a chill time with your friends and family. read more

Okay they are so much more than just smoothies people, donor sleep on their popcorn chicken, egg rolls & don't get me started on the sweet potato fries! Seriously love every drink I've ever had here but personal fave is the strawberry banana smoothie with tapioca and jelly and of course the food! read more

I ordered a simple sweetened iced jasmine green tea. Since I spent money, I forced myself to drink a third of it before throwing it out. Worst tasting jasmine green tea I've had in quite awhile. I suspect it was leftover tea from the previous night that was reused as I was there when it opened in the morning. Tea was extremely bitter, a sign of old tea. It was also cloudy, another sign of old tea. Fresh jasmine green tea is not cloudy. read more

What I love about Kim's is that they are consistent. I can always guarantee that my order will come out right, and tasting great. The milk tea drinks are made the way I like. and the snacks are made to order and fresh! My usual orders will be some version of : jasmine milk tea with rainbow jelly, blended Thai tea, blended green Thai tea, or on the cold days a Hot Taro Milk tea with no boba, then a medium spice level popcorn chicken. I have a lot of different options of boba tea places these days, but I frequently go here because I know I won't be disappointed. read more

The boba here is pretty good! We came here on a random week night so it wasn't busy. I got the oolong milk tea with boba which was delicious. Will be back for more flavors and get my boba fix! read more

There's something about chained boba places that I just normally avoid unless it's like a well known place like gong cha, sharetea etc. I always see Kim's tea house in bellaire and I remember trying it a couple times way before I did yelp and it was nothing but unimpressive. Yesterday, I got the jasmine cream tea, almond cream tea and the strawberry smoothie. My cousins and I tried our drinks together and I'm slightly impressed that the boba tapioca was fresh and super soft. I did not adjust the sugar level because I'm not sure how sweet or unsweetened their regular sugar level was. Needless to say, I wish I told them a bit less sugar. The taste itself was good but the sugar was overpowering. I'm glad I got the chance to retry Kim's again. I need to be more open minded of places that I used to try and always give second chances. You'll never know if you end up liking it again years later or the opportunity for them to change your mind. read more

I have been here a few times before and ordered different teas. All have been very good. This evening I stopped by after picking up dinner next door. The lady that took my order was very pleasant and helpful as I decided on what to order. I finally went with the almond cream tea. After ordering I waited about 5-10 minutes when I noticed my drink was placed on the counter. Nobody called my name or notified me that it was ready for a couple of minutes after that, despite several employees walking by and noticing me standing there. Finally someone came and called my name. Other than that confusion, service was good. The interior of this place is really cute and cozy. It was cold inside this particular evening, so bring a sweater if you get cold easily and plan to dine in. There is a good mix of cozy seating/couches as well as tables and chairs. I noticed several people studying, so I'm assuming they offer WiFi as well - always a plus. I'll definitely be back and hopefully will get to try the banh mi next time. read more

I've been yearning for popcorn chicken at Kim's TeaHouse. I've actually never purchased it before as I tasted it when my coworker got it one time. From that day onwards, I was like I had to go to Kim's again to get the popcorn chicken. And oh my goodness, the popcorn chicken was soooo good! It was hot and spicy and I can't stop eating it! The only con was that the wait for the popcorn chicken took some time, and I didn't hear them call my name, but maybe I missed it. I also had the coffee ice cream drink, and I love it as well. I like the picture of the Chinese opera cartoon seal on top of the drink. It is different and culturally inspiring. It was not as packed today, but there were customers and the drive thru seems pretty on-going. The place was pretty spacious and clean. The decor is kind of a mix. I have to come back for the popcorn chicken and coffee ice cream drink! read more

So this review is for Drive thru only because I went through the drive thru. Had a pleasant experience! The service was super fast and friendly and they made sure to give us a stamp card. Now onto the drink. Matcha cream tea- 4.5/5 This drink was sooo refreshing! Have to say it doesn't have a strong matcha taste, tasted more like jasmine tea but I didn't mind. The tapioca on the other hand was too soft and chewy for my liking. Also, I think it was pretty decently priced for the amount of drink I got. Was $4.71 with the tapioca, not too bad! Will definitely be back to try more drinks next time! read more

I adore Kim's! They were the first teahouse that actually got me interested in tapioca because their drinks are always phenomenal. I can't even count how many stamp cards I've gone through at this point! I was so happy that they moved into the bigger location next door, especially as there is a drive-thru now and it's so much more convenient especially when I'm out running errands. I take my friends here all the time as there's no other place I would recommend so highly for tapioca. read more

My mom loves going to Kim's Tea House and she told me to try it one day so I did. I got a strawberry and banana smoothie with boba in it and it was AMAZING! It tasted very healthy and sweet. If you want to try the food here, I would recommend getting the fries. The fries are very addicting and taste really good! I've never tasted a fry like these. The seasoning that is put on these fries has a slight cinnamon taste to it and it's excellent! The prices for Kim's Tea House are very reasonable and after you get 10 stamps on your punch card, you get a free drink. The inside of the tea house is very decorative and super cute! The staff are always very nice and friendly whenever I go. I want to try some of the tea options that they have next time I go. I would highly recommend stopping at a Kim's! read more

We called ahead to order 15 minute ahead. We get there and then pay and they make us wait another 30 minutes, we end up getting g frustrated then ask where's our order. It was in the God damn fridge the whole time. The person who got it blamed the cashier, but they were the freaking cashier. They need to teach their employees to at least take responsibility when they are being idiots. If you go here, treat them like idiots, ask them 10 times where is my order again and again. The d students they hired are straight morons, we've been there so many times yet they stay stupid. read more

Everybody in town and their mom knows that Kim's is the OG boba place in Katy. Their drinks are usually good, and so are their snacks. Everything is reasonably priced. I also love that they offer sugar substitute instead of sugar for the drinks (other boba places, take notes). Their bahn mi and popcorn chicken is so good, and if you ask for spicy, it really does pack a punch. The calamari is okay, basically tastes like freshly fried fish sticks. The squid balls are good too. The interior does look a bit worn/old though, if you care about ambiance. They have a Jenga set that me and my friends usually play when we come here. For a consistently good boba place with nice snacks while in Katy, definitely give Kim's a try. read more

Food - 4.5/5 Service - 4/5 Atmosphere - 4/5 - I visit every time I'm in town! I've been coming here since my teen years and have seen Kim's grow through summer college visits and now holidays from work. It's remained a staple of young adult life and a go-to boba spot in Katy, and what's not to love? So many flavors and drink options! I appreciate the various sugar levels they offer, and they can usually customize their drinks in any which way to accommodate you. And the boba itself is cooked perfectly! No hard bits in the center or bits falling apart - just perfectly chewy and mildly sweet. My fave order is their Jasmine bubble tea with no sugar (the tea is already sweet!) and the Passionfruit Black tea with half sugar! So refreshing! Their classic milk tea is great as well. read more

Love their drinks. I come here so often it feels like a second home. Every time I come I always order at least 2 cups or more for myself and drink one then save the other for later. My family is from out of town and when they come to visit this is where we go for drinks and they always buy some for the road when heading home. The staff are friendly and nice and the drinks are delicious. I took off one star because we love the fruit tea and order it quite often but they are not consistent with the cup size. One day it will be in a big cup the next it's in a small cup. Either way it's still delicious but size does matter read more

Not only one of the first Teahouses in Katy but definitely still one of the best! I believe the only one, as of now, that has a drive through. read more

I come here pretty often and have been coming for years now. I usually get the same few drinks and food when I go here and they're really good, I suppose it just depends on your tastes. Service can depend on how busy the place is, you might have to wait a bit if the place is crowded, but when it's not you can get your order rather quickly. It's also a great hangout spot, I've come here with my friends plenty of times, although when it's crowded the shop becomes a bit loud and a tad bit overwhelming. Overall it's a chill place with kind workers and good food. read more

I had to pull a strand of hair out of my mouth that was in the popcorn chicken that I ordered. That was honestly very disgusting and ruined my appetite. The lady only refunded me for the popcorn chicken but considering my appetite was ruined I was not eating the rest of my order. Please enforce the use of hair nets for kitchen staff. read more

I've ordered from this Kim's Teahouse a couple times throughout these past few months in quarantine through Ubereats. I can safely say that this is a great, cheap, go-to for boba and snack delivery! I remember this being my absolute favorite boba shop many many years ago when this OG place was the only one in the area. We've had our time apart but through quarantine bringing me back to the area, I've gotten the pleasure of eating here again. For drinks I have a couple favorites that I consistently choose. The regular cream tea, Thai tea, and green tea with cream are some of my favorite options. I always go the full sweet and less ice route and that seems to have yielded many successful 15 minute ubereats drives to me. Food wise, I love the combo pork sandwich with either some thick cut fries or popcorn chicken to share. Kim's teahouse will always have a special place in my heart as a childhood favorite and I'm so glad it still lives up to my adult expectations today! read more

A bubble tea place that offers delivery AND a drive-thru?! I've been here a month and have already made my way to Kim's Tea House at least 4-5 times. I love love LOVE their popcorn chicken (the spicy is S P I C Y) but washing it down with a Thai green tea is just *chef's kiss*. read more
