The staff were super friendly. The store was clean and cozy and had many seats. I got peach tea, and it was super delicious. Highly recommend!
Koi Cha was a random find for me. I was out running errands and the hunger pangs hit while on a boba kick. Lo and behold, Yelp helped me find this spot to take care of both my needs. The inside is nice and cute and reminded me of some spots from Chinatown. Staff was friendly so I let them pick what I got. I ended up with the Koi Cha Cream Tea with boba and some spicy popcorn chicken. The tea was very tasty and refreshing. The popcorn chicken fit right into my cup holder and was easy to munch on while running my errands. The chicken was hot and crispy and perfectly spiced. I love finding random spots that I never had bookmarked. It just shows how awesome our food scene is in Houston!
If you play with your boba then this can be your TOY CHA If you want a lovely drink, this can bring you JOY CHA If your name is Scheider, this can be your ROY CHA And if you're in Southbelt, get yourself to KOI CHA If you are a vegetarian, just ask for SOY CHA Don't be shy, just say what you want, don't be COY CHA You'll get big and strong just like Brad Pitt in TROY CHA And all because you came to get your boba on at KOI CHA If you're not actually a boba fan, it's all a PLOY CHA But if you are, you'll love this one, cause it's the Real MCCOY CHA It's the best Boba shop from Ipanema to ILLINOIS CHA So when in Houston, you have to go to KOI CHA WHAT One of Houston's loveliest Boba shops, and one which I am proud to call myself a regular visitor to. The owners are wonderful people, and the drinks they make are wonderful too. Paul Simon said there's no need to be Koi, Roy. But there is a need to be Koi Cha, especially if you're in Houston and want Boba, and that's regardless of whether your name's Roy or not. One of the best Boba shops in the Houston area, especially if you look at all the ones that aren't in the Chinatown area. Koi Cha is really dominating the Southbelt area in terms of excellent Boba, and wonderful ownership too, and delicious drinks, and definitely some of the most awesome and memorable decor of any boba shop that we've been to in the Houston area. They even sell their super cute boba plush toys, way too adorable! If you date a lineman then it might be WICHI-KOI-TA If you want a lot of wives, it's probably KOI-UTAH If you wanna be a fancy bird, it's KOI-MACAW But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA And if you want a homophobic World Cup, it's KOI QATAR If you wanna Take On Me, it's probably KOI A-HA If you wanna not have a baby, just KOI WITHDRAW But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA And if you want desire, then it's named KOI STREETCAR If you want more kitty cat pix, it's KOI PAW If you're Thin Lizzy, then it's Whiskey In The KOI JAR But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA If you want a more liberal Iran, it's KOI SHAH But if you want a less liberal Iran, it's KOI FATWA And if you're in Iran, it really isn't JEFFREE KOI STAR But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA If you wanna get drunk, go instead to a KOI BAR If you live nowhere near Houston, this location's too KOI FAR Unless you don't mind a nice ride in your KOI CAR To come and get a Boba here at KOI CHA If they get all hipster they might serve drinks in a Mason KOI JAR If the sharp end of the straw cuts your face, you'll get a KOI SCAR I like to take slutty picture here, along with my Porn KOI STAR But if you want the best bobas, come to KOI CHA WHAT Koi Cha. We're definitely talking about one of the better places in the Greater Houston area for Boba. We're also talking about some of the nicest owners of any of the places that I've been, and I look forward to coming back here many times in the future for this reason. Now for some more rapping, but while you're reading, get here ASAP. But don't crash. Don't text and drive. Or read Yelp and drive. Or something. If you wanna pamper yourself, it's KOI SPA If you spend time with your mother, it's KOI MA If you read my Yelp stuff and laugh, it's KOI HA If you wanna go get drunk, it's KOI BAR If you wanna then get arrested, drive a KOI CAR If you wanna show your underwear, it's KOI BRA If you wanna only date the rich, get with KOI BOURGEOIS If you wanna do it drunk, try KOI STELLA ARTOIS If you wanna go to the dentist, say KOI AAAH If you wanna get with a pirate, it's KOI ARRRR If you wanna get with my Barbie, it's KOI AHHHH But if you want the best boba drinks, come to KOI CHA And if I pull my d*** out then... oh crap I went too KOI FAR. WHAT
After lunch my husband wanted boba and we came across this cute little gem on Google. It's in a small business strip center, the decor is very modern and hip, they also have a couple of seating areas where you can do some photo ops. There's also some board games to place if you want to stay and hangout. They seem to have a large variety of teas, as well as toppings. Not only do they offer teas, but they have small bites as well, such as takoyaki, popcorn chicken, Korean corn dogs, Vietnamese eggrolls, shrimp tempura, cajun seasoned fries, macarons, and Japanese fruit sandos. I ended up ordering their strawberry matcha milk tea with traditional tapioca and he got the lychee on lychee with aloe Vera. I absolutely enjoyed my drink, and the strawberry puree that was on the bottom seemed fresh. My husband enjoyed his drink as well and said it was very refreshing. Koi Cha seems like a nice little spot to kick back and enjoy some boba tea with a snack along with some good company, we will definitely be coming back!
Found this place by chance and fell in love with their teas. My sister got the taro smoothie with boba and she said it's the best taro she ever had. I ordered their koi signature milk tea and boy the taste gave me nostalgia of a boba shop in MN with their "golden milk tea" taste. Their boba is soft and slightly too chewy for me. Everything else was amazing and we will definitely be back to try out more flavors and food items!
Their tea is okay. Takoyaki ball way too cheesy. If you ask for no ice, you'll get 70% of the full cup. Would not come back here. Won't recommend. There are better places.
this is my to go place! love the brown sugar fresh milk and their boba. overall it has such a chewy texture to perfection. haven't been disappointed ever since i've started going 10/10 do recommend for anyone wanting to try it out! Try out their popcorn chicken! it's the best
I ordered the brown sugar fresh milk with Oreo crumbs on top, which was supposed to be a liquid drink (with whole milk), but they gave me frozen Oreo instead (blended drink). I asked the workers because I saw them grabbing the blender to make it, and she said "Yea it's a liquid drink like a cream tea" then proceed to serve it in this insulated cup and gave it to me. I don't mind if they made the drinks wrong but they double down on it Other than that, I still love Koi Cha but hopefully there's no mistake next time! read more
This place is so cute on the inside. Beautifully decorated with japanese cherry blossoms. Popped in for a tea. They have such a variety and some unique combinations such as pink flamingo. It's actually in fact what i ordered. Plus lychee jelly of course! Service was quick! The guy taking the orders was very helpful in telling me the ingredients in certain combinations I have. I'll be back and how about i save you a spot too? read more

Placed an order online for takeout and it was an easy process! I chose to order online because I had no idea what I wanted to order. They recently added snacks so I knew I wanted to try a variety in addition to their tapioca drinks. What I ordered: 1) Kimchi fries with beef: This was delicious! Of course it would have been better eating it there and fresh but the flavors were great. I enjoyed it, will order again. Reminds me of OhMyGogi fries. 2) Takoyaki: Comes in 5 to a order I believe. These were really good. You can taste the chewiness of the octopus. 3) Popcorn chicken: These were also good. I enjoyed these. I would suggest adding some paprika to these if you ordered! I did not add it to mines because I wanted to try it plain first. 4) Fried fish tofu: These were good!!! They came with chilled cucumbers and I dipped it with hoison sauce and sriracha. 5)Sweet potato tornado shrimp: It had a nice crunch and great texture but the shrimp was sooooo tiny! The way it was wrapped, I thought the shrimp would be bigger but it was mainly sweet potato. 6) Korean Corn Dogs: These were tasty! First bite/half of the corn dog was mainly cheese. You have to eat towards the end for the sausage. 7) Corn nuggets: sweet corn deep fried like a little nugget, cannot go wrong with that! For the drinks: 1) Strawberry smoothie: This was so good! I ordered about six drinks in total and this one was the best. Loved the flavor and texture. 2) Koi Cha Cream Tea: This is their number one drink. I enjoyed it but found it too sweet for my taste. I would get it 50% sugar if I order next time! 3) Green Thai Tea: I have no idea what this is supposed to taste like but I wanted to try it. It tastes like matcha/chocolate. Hard to describe. Was not bad. 4) Mango green tea: This is my usual go to order!! Love this drink. Be careful if you add crystal boba as it makes it extra sweet. I usually get it with 50% sugar! Overall, so glad we have a tapioca place down in the Southeast side as Bellaire is where I usually go when I want tapioca! Best place in this area hands down. I knew I had a large order so I called before heading out to pick it up. I would suggest the same! PS. If you like mexican candy which is basically candy covered in chamoy/chile, they are selling La Dulce Factory here. So delicious! I like my candy with a little tang and spicy and it hits the spot. read more
