It was 10£, which is a little pricey compared to home. The noodles used are a bit thicker, but still v good overall. They have a vegan menu! Might try something and see how it is. Also got the fried wings to go (7.5£) and they were so good! Good amount, worth the price imo. They could be fine on their own, but they also gave some mae ploy sauce on the side.

I took my friend to give it a try and we weren't disappointed. There are so many appetizing things on the menu it took us a while to decide (the staff are friendly but hung back and didn't bother us, which I like), eventually I opted for the Vietnamese ham & pate Banh Mi (tasty and filling, would highly recommend!) and my friend had the Char Sui pork noodles (the biggest bowl of food I have ever seen for a fiver). Will definitely return soon to try the soups, summer rolls, and bubble tea, can't wait.

The young man working at the time of our last visit was extremely friendly (the vaults weren't particularly busy and maybe he was glad to see some faces), but he helped my friend and I sort through all sorts of coinage to pay for our drinks! I went with my standard mango green tea with mango jellies, and it was good. I think I went half sweet, and it was still really sweet. I'd opt for less sweet or no added sugar next time. Location really brings this rating up to a 4. Cold refreshing tea on the hottest of hot days in 2019 made me appreciate this place even more than I could have imagined!

CHA-yeahhhhhh!…read more Imagine my delight today while strolling along Rivington Street I find newly opened Chatime!? I'd been meaning to visit the other locations to snag some delicious milk teas but now with this one in my 'hood, I'm happy as a tapioca slurping clam! After lunch, I made a quick beeline back and had the Chatime Milk Tea with ice, pearls and half sugar. I'm a big fan of their "sugar level index" that allows you to really customize how sweet you'd like it. I went with half sugar and it was perfect. If you are cutting out the stuff altogether they'll make it with no additional sugar, major score. The options are plentiful without being too overwhelming and it's not all bright colors and round letters (always makes me feel like i'm in a Hello Kitty movie), like a lot of bubble tea places...this is calm, cool, and collected. The owner helped us out with our selections, chatted to us about the shop and we sat at the bench window seats for a bit enjoying our milk teas and catching up on a few emails. It's small, but very comfortable. Very pleased! Welcome to Shoreditch, Chatime!

They also have iced teas, lemonades, smoothies and Asian desserts.The interior is pink with balloons on the ceiling. There are a lot of cute touches and a bit of Pink Panther motif. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.
