I'm certifiably obsessed with boba tea, so when I found out that there was a Michelin rated spot…read morejust outside of ATL I knew I had to make the drive over. I decided to try one of their signature teas, the creamy lemon tart. The drink was beautifully packaged and the flavor is exactly as described: tart lemon with a hint of sweetness topped with creamy sweet foam. I happily sipped it and indulged in a refreshing afternoon treat. They also had a tea of the day sample which was a nice surprise. The aesthetic of the shop is very beautiful bright, and clean. Everything was thoughtfully designed and certainly added to the experience. Whenever I'm in Duluth I will add space in my itinerary for Chicha San Chen!

I'm surprised it has taken me so long to try Chicha San Chen! I've always heard about them from…read morefriends and social media but never took the time to try but I'm so glad I stopped by today. I was stumped on what I wanted to try so I asked the employee for recommendations. She mentioned that the Bubble Milk Tea is their top seller, so that's what I went with. The drink was so cute when it came out with the handle! The boba was fresh, warm, and had a subtle sweetness that I loved. It paired nicely with the milk tea, which was light and not sweet. I really enjoyed it! Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like tea-forward milk teas, liked it too. I'll definitely be bringing him along next time. The aesthetic of the shop is also gorgeous. I loved all the little details--from the baristas' outfits to the tea bar setup and wall decorations. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and very picturesque. I'll definitely be coming back for another Bubble Milk Tea, and next time I want to try something from the Grape Series since I love Asian grape flavors. Looking forward to it!

The shop is bright, clean, and has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating. I ordered the Matcha Strawberry drink and absolutely loved it. Some places use too much matcha, making the drink taste overly powdery or bitter, but this one had the perfect balance of matcha, strawberry, and milk. The flavors blended together beautifully without any one ingredient overpowering the others. It may have just become my new favorite place for matcha drinks! My daughter ordered the fruit tea with Jasmine Green Tea with lychee, and it was equally delicious, light, refreshing, and full of flavor. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality drinks and a cozy atmosphere!

They were giving out prizes by spinning a wheel with a Large drink purchase. My friend got a drink holder and I got a free drink coupon. At this time, the drinks were pretty decent. I was super excited and make sure to come before the coupon expired. When I came to redeem it, she still charged me for a drink and told me she gave me a free size drink upgrade. I ordered a medium and she gave me a large which was only a dollar off my order. The coupon stated for one free drink. She said I read the coupon wrong, when I asked to see it again she refused. I hate supporting small businesses, and they try to scam you of their own promotion. The coupon clearly said free drink. A purchase wasn't even required, which I did also buy an ice cream cone. Not only did I get charged for a drink. It was disgusting . Previously, I had only ordered the Yuzu drink. I had never had their Boba before. I think I ended up throwing the whole drink away. The brown sugar drink didn't even taste like real brown sugar, and the tapioca balls were so soggy. The ice cream was very bitter. I ordered a coffee ice cream. I tried to give them one last chance by ordering the Yuzu tea again. They switched up the yuzu Boba and it didn't even taste like anything. My nephew also thought this place was nasty. He's seven years old and he's very honest. The quality of the drinks have changed DRASTICALLY within a year. I don't even think I would want a free drink from here. I think I'll stick to the New York chain.

My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

We ordered this Injelomi Croffle, along with this Black Sesame Shaved Ice to share. Well, the Croffle was still beautifully presented (though a tad differently), and tasted delish. But to be frank, I thought it looked and tasted better on my first visit. As for the shaved ice, the Black Sesame presentation was downright ugly (must deduct a point for this!)...but luckily, this dessert tasted refreshingly good! I just felt that this should have been presented better. Despite some disappointments with the presentations, we thoroughly enjoyed both desserts. I'm sure I'll be returning in the future.

I highly recommend the oolong milk tea and green Thai tea, though all the drinks I've had are awesome! I like that for most of the drinks you can order easy sweet for less sugar. I've been inside only one time for a Yelp event but the inside was cute and inviting, though small, if memory serves. On a hot day it's great to just drive up and get your cold drink. I order ahead on the app for points and convenience. The service has always been excellent. Highly recommend if you haven't tried them yet. Skip the lines elsewhere and pull up.

I was already not a fan of the aloe, but my most recent visit, the honey boba wasn't chewy. It was small and kind of hard. I didn't like the sea cream jasmine tea too, but that's fine, there are other drinks they offer that I do enjoy. I'm just disappointed by the boba having already written off aloe. It feels like they are getting inconsistent with making drinks. It also doesn't help that while I was chilling in the store, a wasp flew in. Not a great experience to end on, but they are quick, and most of the drinks are good.

The Guava & Grape Cheechee was super refreshing and unique, and the milk tea had a rich tea flavor that stood out immediately. The food was honestly a surprise highlight too.

Walked into Goodwin expecting a more relaxed, self-serve style environment where customers could take their time browsing the menu without pressure. Instead, the atmosphere immediately felt tense and uncomfortable -- more like "hurry up and order or leave." The owner are def fuzhouese. One of the first things I noticed was two tables eating directly out of large rectangular aluminum trays, the kind you'd normally see at Chinese buffets or catering setups. This is a sign that tells me they are family member of the restaurant owner 员工餐 . It honestly threw me off and made the dining room feel unusual and unpolished. The female owner immediately came to the entrance as soon as I walked in, which added to the pressure and awkward vibe. My mom actually comes from a very similar cultural and business background and has worked with many restaurant owners in that community through commercial restaurant sales. Based on her own experiences in the industry, I became uncomfortable with what she described what possibly would be going on and that made me uneasy as well. At the end of the day, the atmosphere just didn't feel welcoming or relaxing. I ended up leaving before ordering because something about the experience felt off to me personally. There are plenty of other no-tip restaurants that manage to feel modern, clean, and customer-friendly without making people feel rushed or uncomfortable. To name a few: Korean: kisoya, Naju myunok, and sambong naengmyun, the food court inside mega mart Chinese: Papa dumpling, or the food court at dinho in doraville, or chenji in Duluth, Xi an gourmet noodle inside jusgo food court

There are a fair amount of tables but since my friends have been here before, they say it gets pretty full fast. We ordered their mango shaved ice to be shared 6 ways which took over 30 minutes to come out. Albeit, the two employees we could use were incredibly busy completing drink and other dessert orders before ours. Nonetheless, the presentation was seamless and jaw dropping. The taste was a perfect match made in heaven. We also enjoyed the red bean paste offered on the side to offset some of sweetness of mango with plenty of condensed milk. Would love to get this again especially on a hot summer day!

It was OK. The drink itself wasn't that strong. The boba was almost too soft. Nobody is close to Xing Fu Tang's boba quality though. I may have to limit my boba intake because the latest research says cassava root absorbs heavy metals such as lead and arsenic. The service was good but my main issue with the place is that they didn't have the air circulating. It smelled musky the moment you step into the door. They close at midnight so that's nice. Would I come here again? Nah. There's too much competition and this place doesn't stand out enough for me. There's 5 other boba tea spots in just this shopping center alone!

So I have seen this shop numerous times when visiting the plaza but never came inside…read more There is a plethora of boba shops in the plaza so def more than 1. A decent amount of parking and the shop itself is pretty huge, considering there is a huge area in the back. The service is solely with 4 self serve kiosks and only 1 to place an order with a server. The ambiance is fun and definitely a cute place. Service is hard to say because I only got my drinks with the server and not much conversation was made. No issue with the place itself but my drink was not it. I ordered a large Thai tea with 70% sweetness and was super excited for it to come out. However, once I got it, it was flavorless. Despite getting sweetness it tasted like nothing which was unfortunate. The ratios were extremely off because my mom got the same drink at a 50% sweetened and it tasted exactly the same. I am willing to come back again but I'll probably stick with fruit drinks instead of Thai tea.
