There's street parking and parking behind the building. Their back entrance is all the way to right, under the burnt looking sign. It smells like shi shi back there, so I would suggest walking around the building to the front entrance. The drinks are very well crafted and tasty! The food is really good! Their popcorn chicken could have used a heavier hand of seasoning. The girls working there are very nice and pleasant. Overall a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon
来了好多次了，百吃不腻，今天点了一个红烧牛肉面，汤汁味道很鲜，不会很咸，而且量非常的足，还点了一个盐酥鸡非常正宗好吃服务态度也很好，餐厅干净整洁，下次再来尝一下台湾的珍珠奶茶和水果茶！
I'm grateful that although this location is in town, Uber Eats delivers to Ewa! Their popcorn chicken is the perfect rendition of Taiwanese street food. And their braised beef soup??? Oh gosh, the intense bone broth with a hint of anise is absolute perfection. It's become a semi monthly treat in our home now.
Decided to try here and it was pretty good! Milk tea had a good flavor and the ratio of tea to milk was perfect. Only thing I have to critique is a few of my boba were still a little hard in the middle... However, 95% of them were cooked perfectly! I will be back to try the food they have as it looks so yummy!
I still wish Dragon Tea was still in Market City Shopping Center, so I'd be able to enjoy its variety of tea and fruit drinks, but also its variety of Taiwanese noodles, snacks, and other savory items. Just recently, Dragon Tea began offering BBQ skewers, which was enough for us to make our way to Kalihi! Dragon Tea is probably the first tenant to be in that newer building at the corner of Houghtailing and School St. It shares the same complex with Rainbow Drive In, Katsuriki BBQ House (formerly Gyukaku), and Aloha Cones. There's a parking lot in the back, accessible from Houghtailing. You can enter from the back of the building too! Quite convenient! The inside is quite spacious and clean with a decent amount of tables. I like the gray walls that make it look like cement or is it cement (with brushstrokes)? You order up front and pay first. There's a "30 cents" credit card fee, but I'm not sure if they meant 3 (per)cent. Not gonna find out. I get cash! We started with the Braised Dishes (Tofu & Seaweed). It came with seaweed knots, fried tofu, and black tofu that looks like stinky tofu. The seaweed was my favorite. Nice umami flavor. The fried tofu was delicious. Soft and just oozing with flavor. The "stinky tofu" looking one was actually quite good. It didn't taste or smell like stinky tofu, but it had a nice, subtle soy flavor with a hint of spice. For the skewers, we just went with beef. It was all right. The beef cooked a bit too long and became on the dry side, but they were larger pieces, so it was still tender inside. The spices didn't quite come through for me. There aren't too many skewer choices with lamb, chicken, wings, fish balls, hot dog, shrimp, and etc. with frog legs being a unique one. Prices are okay. Seems about the same as other skewer places. The Braised Tomato Beef Noodle Soup was good. Quite simple. The broth was hearty and clean with a nice amount of tomato flavor. Braised beef was tender, and everything just went well together with the tomatoes, radish, pickled mustard cabbage, and etc. The noodles boiled just right. Next was the Braised Pork Rice Noodle Soup. The broth was good in this one. Good clean, savory taste, but there was way too much noodles compared to the broth and other ingredients (three fish balls, shanghai bok choy, a spoonful of bean paste, and a scant amount of braised pork, which felt like boiled minced pork than braised). Since we were at Dragon Tea, we had to get a drink. The DT Brown Sugar Fresh Milk was really good. Creamy, milky, and with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, this was a decent meal. It was very homey with the simple flavors, simple ingredients, and simple dishes. Location is convenient, and inside is comfortable. Service was good. Food came out quick. I'll definitely come back again to try more things!
Food is awesome here , very fresh food. You can taste the freshness, not the frozen stuff. I'm not a big fan of caffeinated drinks. So I got the winter melon drink here , it's super good. We came right when they opened so the boba was ready yet. I'll be back again , but not right at opening time. I want to try the boba here , I'm sure it's going to be good too.
Got a peach green tea with no ice, extra sweet, like I normally would because it's good and safe. I repeated my order 3 times over the phone and the man said he got it. But there's ice, and it tastes like black tea instead of green tea. I've gotten this drink of this place so many times that I know it's not the same tea. One thing they got right is the extra sweet. But the moment I picked up my drink from the bag, it spilled. I guess the cover just wasn't on well. Disappointing.
Helpful service, gave me good recommendations. The price is medium, not cheap but not super expensive. Nice food selection with foods not typical of what we normally have here. Tasty drinks. I'm quite fond of the design, but I like the industrial look.
So much better now! Not sure if previously it was because of Covid or just a bad day, but this place is now awesome. Very authentic Taiwanese food. We love this place so much! Great for boba and a snack or boba and a meal. They even have my favorite Jasmine green milk tea which only legit boba places have. The bento boxes and beef noodle soup are all excellent but our fave is the egg omelette with pork. Honestly, everything on the menu is good. We've also had the fish ball skewers and dumplings- all good. This is a casual cafe with walk-up ordering and then you grab a seat. Interior is spacious and clean. Free Parking in back.
I came in through the back. Everyone was in the kitchen, I think they should get a bell. No one knew I was there until I started taking out my wallet and car keys. Not sure if the front door has a bell or not, I didn't check. Food was good. Slight miscommunication with the clerk. I asked if the fish ball soup was curry. He said yes but I don't think he understood. It was not curry but it did still taste good. He asked if I wanted spicy for the beef skewers. I told him yes, it wasn't really spicy but it was different and good. It was tender, chewy and jerky like all at the same time. Very flavor choice. The drinks were good. I liked the watermelon slush better than my peach green tea. The omelette was interesting. I didn't think I would like it after seeing it in the box but to my surprise, I enjoyed it the most out of all 3 food items. It was very cute and clean inside.
Had to stop for boba as soon as we could. Ordered the jasmine milk green tea and minced braised pork rice bowl. Both were good, but nothing to write home about other than this Yelp review. The minced pork had bits of bamboo in it which was salty and made the already sodium rich dish saltier. It was not Tenren but good enough!
I'd never heard of Dragon Tea until my coworker suggested we come here for an after-work pick me up. Their shop offers a mix of both traditional and unique milk teas, fruit teas, and specialty teas. They also serve Taiwanese street food, bentos, and noodles. Initially, I wanted a milk tea but the cashier told me they didn't have any dairy alternatives and only used cow milk (although it's non-dairy). So I decided to get a Peach Green Tea with Lychee Jelly and 25% sweetness. The drink was light, refreshing, and came with a lot of jellies. Aside from their Hot Drinks, all of their drinks only come in one size (large). They also offer a variety of toppings from your typical boba and jellies to chia seeds and white agar pearls. You're able to adjust your sweetness but be sure to ask the workers since they don't ask upfront. This spacious shop is located in the same complex as Rainbow Drive-In and Gyu-Kaku in Kalihi. A free and shared parking lot is available behind the shops and their bathroom is located outside. The inside of the shop is simple, quiet, and clean, with plenty of tables and chairs to sit at. We were the only customers inside so service was quick and our drinks were brought to us. The tea I got was good, but nothing special. It was great to try a new shop and I'd be interested in coming back since it's close to where I work. I'd be interested in coming back to try their Taiwanese food.
Was recommended to this place from a Taiwanese friend. It's on the corner of houghtaling and school. You can park in the lot in the back where rainbows is. Place is legit - all the Taiwanese snacks and yummy drinks. Got the braised pork bamboo shoot bento. Comes w a tea egg tofu and veges. Popcorn chicken is crispy and delicious. Lemon yogurt drink is refreshing and non caffeinated

First time here. Ordered the lu rou fan (braised beef on rice), omelette with pork floss, and the chicken wings (med spice). Everything was extremely tasty and we felt the prices were reasonable. My only complaint - I wish the braised beef was served with larger chunks of meat rather than being chopped small. Also, seems like the meat was pan fried after braising so it was alot drier than I am used to with this dish. The omelette was a nice combination of textures and flavors, filled with pork floss and cucumbers. The wings were crunchy and dusted with their chili powder mix. The medium spice level was not very spicy for me (my sister said it had some kick), so if you like spicy, I'd ask them for their hottest level. There is ample parking in the back and the workers were nice. The restaurant is simple but the decor pleasant. They also serve a very wide selection of milk tea and toppings. read more

First time here. Ordered the Taiwanese omelet with flossy pork, popcorn chicken and boiled pork chives dumplings. Out of those 3 we enjoyed the Taiwanese omelet the most . Dumplings were okay. Most disappointing dish was the popcorn chicken. It was missing all the right flavor/ seasoning read more

This review is only on a few things I got to try so far: fresh watermelon juice, dumplings, and the Taiwanese omelette with flossy pork FRESH WATERMELON JUICE: my favorite :) so fresh and not artificial tasting at all Dumplings: I got them boiled and while they were pretty good, they didn't give me any sauce so it was missing more flavor Omelette: full disclosure, I'm pregnant.. so this dish may not have sit well with me for this reason. The omelette had cucumber, flossy pork (sweet and savory kind of like fried cuttlefish), and mayo.. all wrapped in a scallion pancake. To me, I felt like the Mayo overpowered the dish and it left me feeling nauseous lol. Overall, this place is definitely worth a try, and I appreciate their expansive food menu in addition to their bubble drink options read more
I remember going to the Market City location years ago and had no idea what happened when it closed :'( yes I also had no idea about Yelp back then either. Fast forward to their current location in Kalihi *happy dance* on the corner of N School St and Houghtailing St with I'd say maybe 10 parking stalls in the back sharing with many other retailers so I'm sure it can get filled during peak times but is so conveniently appreciated. There is access straight from parking so you don't need to walk around to the front door. Walking in I love the simplicity look with an impressive amount of tables, what a great place to chill! What's more impressive is their menu...not sure if it's a restaurant or tea shop lol! With bentos and Taiwanese street food *YUM!* it was hard to keep focused but finally decided on two *Passionfruit green tea* and *Yakult Lemon green tea * I wasn't asked about ice and sweetness levels so I'm not sure if it's an option here but being that it was amazing. The YAKULT lemon green tea was my sip for tonight and I drank half before I left the lot omg, not too lemony with a delightful smooth flavor it was perfect. Passion fruit green tea was simple and nice and probably because sweetener and or syrup was added so I hope I burned it sipping it throughout my work shift. I do love it here and will ask about their sweetness levels if it's available to adjust it cause life is already certainly sweeeet!! Thank you!! read more

Overall it was a decent meal. Don't take much stock in my review though. I had takeout. We all know takeout is rarely a true representation of the experience you get eating in the restaurant. I had the BBq squid because it was unique menu item. I also wanted to try the braised pork and rice. It was by far the best entree I ordered. I got two buckets of chicken wings. They weren't all that bad to me but my family passed on them after tasting them citing they looked much better than they taste. The food in general had this strange taste that's very unfamiliar (not necessarily bad) to my palette. DONT take my word. Go try it for yourself. I would eat here again... in the restaurant.. The price on Uber (for delivery) came out to a little bit over $80. That's a bit pricey, but I was anxious to try because they've (Dragon Tea) put a lot of work into making their branding pop. Check out their website and menu most likely you'll be intrigued as well. read more

I remember when dragon tea was at market city shopping center. It was ok. I'm not sure when this location opened, as I almost never drive around kalihi, but by the condition of the menus I think they've been around for awhile. I walked in right before 8pm, not knowing that they were closing at 8. I looked around for a sign with store hours and couldn't find one. I'm not a mean person. I asked nicely when I walked in if it was ok to order something, since I could see someone in the back cleaning. The girl at the counter just ignored me. I repeated myself a little louder thinking that maybe she couldn't hear me through my face mask. This time she kinda moved from sitting on a chair and playing on her phone, but still didn't say anything or acknowledge me. Lol I almost just walked out. Like wtf. I asked probably 3 more times, "hi! Are you open? Can I order?" Lol finally she mumbles something about how I can order a drink. I think she was meaning to explain that the kitchen was closed and I couldn't order food, but it was ok to order a drink, but she didn't say more than 3 words to me. I'm not a mind reader. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea with boba. She made it quickly and I was out in 2 minutes. It was just such a weird experience and the milk tea wasn't so amazing that I'm dying to go back. read more
I enjoyed my lunch at Dragon Tea. I had an order popcorn chicken and the braised tomato beef noodle soup. The person taking my order helped me decide on what to get and I was happy with her recommendations. The food was delicious and it didn't give that heavy feeling going back to work. We were the only customers through lunch, so I hope more people try this spot! read more

Came here for the first time with my wife. She loves Hana Tea, but found out they were closed today so we were YELPing only to find this place. After reading several of YELP friends reviews, we decided lets give it a shot. We ordered the Strawberry Milk Slush w/ Lychee Jellies, Honeydew Milk Slush w/ Popping Boba, Milk Tea Special, and the Dragon Tea (DT) Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Every drink was delicious and for a very reasonable price. The strawberry and honeydew were more like dessert drinks, pretty much smoothies. The milk tea special and the DT milk tea were both delicious, especially with the coffee jellies. They also sell Taiwanese type of food here too, but we didn't order any. Overall, we'll definitely be back for these delicious generous sized drinks for a good price. The staff are friendly and super fast. This little shop is located at the corner of Houghtailing and North School Street next to Kalihi Rainbows is and where Kam Bakery used to be located. The parking is on the Houghtailing side, but I'd recommend putting in a phone order and if it's not busy, pull up right in front of the shop and run in and out. read more
Had mixed feelings about this place because we got a mango drink and a taro drink as well as pan fried dumplings from here. I asked the person who took my older whether the mango smoothie had any dairy and she assured us that there wasn't. I told her that my kid had an allergy and she assured us again that it wouldn't have any dairy. However, when my kid had some of the beverage, she had an allergic reaction and it caused her to have discomfort for about an hour. I don't know if cross contamination happened or the ingredients were not properly read but I was a little disappointed about this incident happening since I had triple checked whether or not there was the ingredient and made them aware of the food allergy. That said, the taro drink was good. The pan fried dumpling was okay. I wouldn't say it stood out or anything. It was a nice and clean space. read more

I ordered a brown sugar milk tea and it was good but the boba was too hard. I think it's old or it was made earlier that day since I came in at around 7pm. My boyfriend had to throw away his order since he got a hot matcha milk tea with boba. He usually likes hot milk tea boba from other places but he was really disappointed with this one. I will come back again and update my review if the boba is fresh and better! read more

Our first visit here a couple of years ago was to try their milk tea, and it turned into an unexpected delight when we ordered the popcorn chicken and Taiwanese omelette--one of the best spontaneous decisions we've made! Despite being a bit out of the way for us, we keep coming back periodically for their delicious milk tea and food. read more

5/28/2020 COVID-19 VISIT It's been 3 years ago since we visited and reviewed Dragon Tea (DT) but that was when it was still located at Market City. Since then, they've relocated to the Kalihi neighborhood in the same commercial building with Rainbow Drive-In and Gyutaku on North School Street. There's a parking lot behind this building and access is from Waiakamilo Road just before the intersection at North School Street. We're not fond of milk, boba or fruit tea beverages but what brought us back to Dragon Tea is their menu of Taiwanese Street Foods, noodles, rice bowls and fried snacks. After reading reviews from fellow Yelp Friends, Lentina and Florelei, who spoke highly of DT's noodles and snacks, my stomach began growling like crazy even though I had eaten a nice full home cooked breakfast. I mentioned DT to my husband while showing him photos of DT's dumplings and noodle dishes. But, what caught my husband's eyes was their popcorn chicken. We called in our order and the young girl who answered the phone was friendly and repeated the order for accuracy. She informed me that it would take 15 minutes to prepare. No problem... it would take us about that long to drive over. It seemed that it took us a bit longer to get out from our building's parking structure as we rushed out to get our food. After parking our car, we walked into DT and found that all their chairs were atop their tables due to the current NO Dine-IN restriction. But, this place was clean, bright and not crowded. I gave the girl my name and phone number as confirmation for our order. She promptly went to the kitchen and came out with our order which was neatly packed in their styrofoam containers and we were glad they separated the broth from the noodles that we ordered. FOOD: -Braised pork rice noodle soup: The clear flavorful pork-based broth didn't have much meat in it but, you could taste its light meatiness and yet the broth was not greasy. The rice vermicelli was tender and became quickly flavored with the hot broth and fishcake balls. The noodles were plentiful and I'd order this again. $8.80 -Boiled pork and chive dumplings: We chose to have these dumplings boiled instead of pan-fried. Its savory pork and Chinese chive filling balanced the plain wheat flour wrappers. There was a slightly-vinegary dip included which we didn't use. We chose to use one of our Chinese hot sauces as a condiment instead. $9.80 -Popcorn chicken (Large): Crispy, juicy and flavorful chicken nuggets served with basil leaves filled a 16-oz container. Each chicken piece had a nice crisp crust but we were impressed with the flavorful 5-spices seasoning and moistness of chicken meat. The Large size was plentiful and I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. $9.80 Food quality and flavors were very good and their customer service was welcoming. This meal only cost us about $30 and kept us happy and satisfied as we didn't feel the need to eat dinner. We'll be back! 4.4 Stars read more
