    Cha-watermelon , cha-mango and Thai green tea
    Tracy D.

    I haven't tried this place in a few years because it's never on top of my list. But my husband wanted to and so we ordered online. Popcorn chicken (1/5) salty and looked old as if they used old oil. Thai green milk tea (2/5) boba was good, but the drink itself wasn't creamy as I like compare to other places Overall, not not be coming back anytime soon.

    I read that this is a good boba shop to study in, and it definitely has the seating for it. I thought the boba was so good and affordable. I signed up for rewards to get $2 off, so my boba was only $3.52. Their menu has so many options! I opted for the tiger oat milk tea with boba, which I really loved because it is lactose free with such a great taste. Although tiger (brown sugar) milk tea always tastes good to me. My friend got the peach green tea with aloe vera, which he liked. We used their wifi to study for a few hours and noticed a few other people who came in to do the same thing. There were some outlets by the tables. There were unfortunately some families with very rambunctious children playing games on full volume. The one thing the shop could control was the volume of the music, which we remarked was excessively loud.

    Did I somehow make Johnathan angry at me today as a client because I did not deserve the sandwich that I got today . I had an an incredible experience six months ago, which brought me back to this restaurant again and it's going to be the last time. I've had to scroll through my photos, and you will see the comparison of the same sandwich that I got 6 months ago to the exact same sandwich that I got today. Do you see the disrespect that these two employees gave me with this sandwich? I waited in the lobby for at 5 minutes and I was almost debating leaving and I probably should've because when I ordered the sandwich I thought that I was gonna get the same type of sandwich six months ago, but look at the sandwich that I got today. Only one layer of meat and then a second layer of meat both being paper thin it is 1000% not worth the amount of money that I paid for and I will never come back complete disrespect from these 2 young men.

    If you have some sweet and savory quick bite cravings while you are studying, you should check this place out. Place is super spacious and chill music playing in the background. I came on a rainy day so there wasn't any people, only two workers and they are fast at making my order. I got the voodoo chicken spicy, give it a 7/10 because it's not only not spicy, it lacks seasoning flavor in general. The chicken bite size is good and tender juicy, would be a good hit if it has more flavor. Omg the magic puffs are great. They aren't too doughy and small bite size so I really like it. It satisfied my beignet craving. Lavender latte I give it a 8/10 it's little too sweet for me but the floral scent of lavender was there but not too overpowering the coffee so it was good still.

    I love their drive thru. Sometimes I'm a hot mess and shouldn't be leaving the house so this drive thru really helps me grab my drinks without going in to pick up my drinks. Their Viet Frappe is so yummy and very chocolate tasting.

    Kimchi Fries are old and hard when ordered on uber

    The food we order on uber eats and walk in orders have decrease on their quality the Kimchis taste hard and old it seems that the new teens running it dont give a hoot on their food and quality i do not recommend this place if you wanna be eating hard disgusting old fries

    Magic Cup has been on my bookmark for Wanna Go Post Pandemic. Not because it offers dining rewards, but it's unique and stands out from the rest of the boba tea joints on the west of Beltway. I came here for a taste of lighter side of snacking. I ordered Nouc Mat and veggie egg rolls for takeout. I'm so glad they already included all the toppings in the artichoke drink. Sugar level was perfect. Veggie egg rolls came with 2 containers of sweet and sweet sauce. I wonder if they were made in house. After egg rolls cooled down, the flavor and texture remained. I don't believe restaurant made them. But I prefer this Chinese type better than the Vietnamese type. There were many signs on the doors to warm us about the staff shortage. When I got here, I was the only customer and the dining room was less than a quarter filled. Restaurant was very clean. I like those white tables and chairs. They made clean to show up more. I saw few young customers at the patio area. It is essential to have it fenced in. The restaurant is on the outskirt of the strip mall called AI HOA Marketplace. Sign is new, but I know Magic Cup was here way before the mall remodeling.

    We have been here once before & enjoyed our drinks. But this time we came in for 2 coffee drinks & one fruit smoothie. The Vietnamese coffee was just average and mine had two pieces of plastic in my drink. Our daughter in law thought her fruit smoothie was bland. Then when we got home with our receipt, we checked our credit card acct online for something else & saw that Magic Cup had double billed us. We got charged for the 3 drinks before tipping & then again for the full amt plus tipping. We called the coffee shop w/no results. Tried calling corporate & emailed them too...NO results. We finally called our credit card company. This was probably an honest mistake & they are just too busy to respond. Either way we do not recommend them and we won't ever go back. Houston has way too many great coffee shops in town.

    THIS was my cup at magic cup. I paid over $5 for a drink and they could not even fill it up! Rediculous. Tea is not that expensive to fill a cup up!!! Do better!!!

    Kimchi Fries
    Sanny C.

    Driving around Bellaire, Houston not sure what to drink since there were so many boba shops to choose from. I decided to go with Magic Cup since they have drive thru. However, ended up going inside because my family needed to use the restroom. It was very loud inside. This one group of like 6 made it worse because they talked and laughed super loud. Guess they had to tho because they needed to talk louder than the music so other individuals in the group can hear. Anyways, because it was so loud inside the staff was having a difficult time hearing what I ordered and vice versa. I couldn't really hear what she needed. Guess she was trying to say that I can enter my info to get points. Would have been nice to hear it because I could have receive $1 off on my next order ( I placed 2 separate orders that day because I needed to order another drink). The beignets were fresh and yummy. It was nice that the sauce and powder was on the side. I can dip since I don't like too much chocolate on my beignets. For the price, you do get a good amount of beignets ( : The kimchi fries was also yummy. It blended pretty well. The cheese, greens and fries was so good together. It was a good portion for the price. Drinks...however, was not as great. The herbal tea tasted like a weak version of wintermelon tea. Why didn't they just say wintermelon lol actually, it tasted more like water. The black tea was nasty. I did left it in the fridge and drank it the next day so not sure if that was the reason for the unpleasant taste. So I might need to retry this drink someday. Huge parking lot. Inside was pretty big. Lots of seating Patio seating avail too Customer service was good but again, it was super loud inside

    Kimchi Fries w/bacon
    Mechila B.

    Came here for a late night snack: it's open late and has a driv thru! I ordered the fries with a drink and it came up to about $16 I believe. The fries are def nice and spicy, comes with a layer of shredded cheese and another of melted cheese, bacon if you add it, the kimchi, etc. I thought that the toppings were a little much compared to how many fries you get. Next time I'll def order light on the cheese because it covered the entire box. It was still really good though and the fruit tea was also good. It comes with a bunch of fruit bits and jellies, but I felt like I would've enjoyed it better if I still added boba to it. The fruit bits tasted really fresh though even though I came at the end of the day. I'll def be coming back and trying some other things :))

    Jasmine Green Tea with Boba
    Emma B.

    So there's a sandwich shop not too far from here that's our favorite - but even if that place someday closed down, we'd still go out of our way for Magic Cup. It's a little pricier than some other bubble tea places, but the quality is absolutely worth the cost - and they have a convenient drive-thru if you're getting food from elsewhere. The Jasmine Green Tea with Boba is my go-to, but I've also tried their Thai Green Milk Tea and regular Thai Tea. My husband, on the rare occasions he feels like a sweet drink, loves their 'Cha-Mango' - a blended ice drink made with mango, chamoy, and garnished with a tamarind straw and fresh mango chunks. All of them are great; and even if you get them at their 'default' sweetness level they won't be overwhelmingly sugary. The boba are also cooked nicely, being chewy and slightly 'al dente' with a nice brown sugar flavor. I've also ordered food from here a couple of times via UberEATS. Their customer service is already great, but it really shines here; whenever they've been out of an ingredient, they've called my phone as soon as Uber alerts me to this, offering an apology and a replacement item. They also make a hole in the top of the styrofoam box for delivery, which works wonders for stopping things from 'steaming' and getting soggy in transit! And as for the food itself; their voodoo chicken is great, but can be a little salty if you up the spice level too much. It comes with both sweet chili sauce AND sriracha though, so it's easy to make up for it if you stick with 'Medium' spice or lower. Their selection of banh mis is somewhat limited, but my personal favorite is the grilled pork, which is always tender and well-seasoned with just enough mayo. So yeah; Magic Cup has great drinks, good food, and great service. If you find yourself a regular here, try signing up to their rewards program and text alerts. They frequently offer $2-3 off a drink for various holidays and events, or if you just haven't been in a while. Cheers!

    We came here on a Sunday night looking for a new boba spot to try. Its located in a semi sketchy neighborhood. Inside is decently spacious but it doesn't look very clean or tidy. We got the coconut milk tea and the sea foam drink. The service was below average as the staff there were both equally unfriendly as well as lacking knowledge on their own menu. Drinks tasted pretty watered down and we weren't really impressed with it. Plenty of Boba spots to try but this isn't one we would recommend

    Absolutely yummy!!…read more I stumbled across this place on TikTok after I saw someone posted about their new pandan milk tea and I just had to go since my absolute favorite flavor is pandan. This was my first time trying this shop and I didn't know how busy it would be especially on a Sunday night, so I decided to order online. Ordering online was easy, but I wish I didn't have to create an account in order to checkout and wish I could've checked out as a guest but no biggie. The order was ready in about 5-10 min which was super quick! The shop itself is in a corner of a plaza but very easy to find due to their bright lights! Plenty of parking outside and inside is very cute and quaint! I think it's a good spot to just grab your drink and go, but there are a few seats so you can rest or study. This pandan milk tea is probably one of my favorite drinks ever, especially if I'm craving something sweet + non-fruity + no caffeine! The pandan flavor was perfect and had a nice coconut flavor as well that made the pandan stand out. The grass jelly was perfect too. The whole drink itself tasted very nostalgic and perfect. I also ordered 50% sugar which was the perfect amount of sweetness and I think next time I'm gonna also add boba for more chew and textures! Overall, I'm for sure going to come back to try more of their drinks and of course, order the pandan milk tea.

The inside of the establishment was very clean, but there are only a few seating options, so it might be a bit hard to find a spot if it gets busy.

One team member kindly explained the drinks I was curious about and even gave me a recommendation, which I really appreciated--and it was spot on! I went with the Hawaii Sunset fruit tea at 50% sugar. Just a heads-up: their fruit teas lean more on the fruit-forward side than actual tea, and mine was definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum--likely from the syrup in the mango popping boba. Even at half sugar, it was pretty sweet. I also noticed a couple of things that could've made the drink better: some lemon seeds were left in, and the smaller bits of mango weren't fully ripe, which made the texture a bit off. That said, the staff's kindness and the wide variety of drinks make me want to come back and try other options! I'm especially interested in their Saigon street food menu and those adorable kitty paw-shaped mochi waffles. The shop itself is small with limited seating, so I'd recommend grabbing your drinks to-go unless you're staying for a bite. Bonus points for being located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking--no stress finding a spot!

    Ulike? Why yes, I do…read more The Bellaire Asiatown location of Ulike Tea chain is vastly different from its OG northern counterpart. It's not nearly as pretty, far less English friendly, and open super late (#1). While the drinks are average compared to other Viet-owned milk tea spots, it would be considered quite good for places open past 10pm. Post-dinner option? Absolutely. The interior is smallish, but they've managed to cram a good number of seats both in and outside. These are interesting because they remind me of something I've seen in Southeast Asia, namely the fact of furniture is condensed and also at a height that makes it noticeably different from what we would see around most cafes. Late at night, one can always find a decent crowd of young folks drinking and eating just outside the cafe. The wall mural is well done and is something like I would feel like I would see in Vietnam. The claw machines are simply a sign of the times. The drinks are someone average across the board with the exception of their coffee selection. The sea salt coffee as well as the regular cap phe sua da Viet coffee, are quite good. Ube coffee is a tad on the sweet side and the coconut coffee is only recommended for folks who really love coconut. (#2) Milk tea is fine overall but I don't feel necessarily better than the dedicated specialty spots. Fruit-Based teas such as longan is much more refreshing. Surprisingly where I think they shine is the food. The series of bites make for excellent late night snacks. Their coconut Viet style pudding is very tasty, the crispy rice (com chay cha bong) has a nice crunch, the grilled rice rolls (banh trang cuon chien) are good when fresh, stir fried corn (bap xao), and the fried combo (lac muoi tom) is always a hit. Skip the fried dumplings and popcorn chicken. Customer service is generally good. English speakers won't struggle too much, especially since the menu is a picture menu. They accept credit cards and there's plenty of parking almost always. __________ (#1) Midnight every night. (#2) Not the essence, but actual coconut bits.
