Strawberry matcha
Bernadette C.

I enjoyed the strawberry matcha! At first looking at the ratio, it looks like there is way more strawberry than matcha. But once it settles and seeps in, the ratio looks half and half. There is a bit of strawberry jam at the bottom but I wish there was a tad more than what they put. I didn't even notice it at first. It was delicious and creamy but could probably be a bit creamier if I got regular milk. I usually sub for almond milk so my drinks aren't always the creamiest. I love the bright and bold green color of the matcha! After mixing it, the overall color becomes a super light green. I'd love to try the regular matcha latte next time. Service was quick with the baristas working efficiently and quickly behind the counter. You can watch them whisk matcha as well out in the open.

Level 4 Matcha Ice Cream
Pearl S.

I come here regularly for the matcha ice cream. I love how this place is to taste and provides you with different levels of matcha. From my experience, the service is pretty fast, and I like how there's a rewards system that encourages me to go back for another taste!

We were excited for the concept but ended up with a disappointing experience. When we first walked in there was a weird sewer smell. Not sure where it's coming from as it wasn't as bad towards the back which is where their bathroom is. The ordering was also odd. The staff didn't greet us nor were they helpful navigating the menu which could use more pictures and graphic design help. They didn't tell us they were out of level 3 or 4 till after we ordered. The menu mentions a small pint and large pint. A pint is a standard unit of measurement. You can't have a small or large version. The counter has the containers labeled regular and large. "Large" seems like an actual pint. While the desserts were decent they were overpriced. Since we didn't get to try level 3 or 4, the level 2 wasn't much different than what you could get elsewhere with out the sewer smell.

This location is right off the freeway, on Bellaire Street. Once you enter the parking lot, it's on the first floor, the end cap of the building. Ninja Matcha is family-owned by "Charles" and he began this business in 2018 with his wife and children. Charles is educated on the Japanese style of refined, Matcha taste. As I sat with Charles, his intention was to curate flavors that cater to a refined taste for Matcha. Thus, Ninja Matcha offers Matcha levels 1, 2 or 3 for beginners through long term Matcha addicts . The menu items include Matcha ice creams, milk teas and desserts. This is the real deal folks! The flavored syrups are home made, therefore you NEED to tell them "Level of Sweetness" otherwise, it will be too sweet. I hardly like sugar, so 20-30% sweetness is enough, while 50% is too much for me. ACCOMMODATIONS are made upon request, "easy ice", "sweetness level". "Matcha strength level" and "milk option (oat, almond, whole milk). We were finally content to find an authentic, true Asian, Matcha tea place where you can sit with a friend and catch up. I had the Mango Matcha and my 14 year old son had the Hojicho Coconut. It was well blended and tasty! Charles shared that he has also been training some employees, therefore if your Matcha is not to your taste, let him know your preference. Prices are affordable and there's no discrimination, they take all paying customers of CASH or CREDIT. Restroom is for Patron Customers and while I was there, it was clean. We sat comfortably and there was no smell that we noticed. I am assuming those who mentioned it came when there was heavy rains.

Solid dessert option in Chinatown, especially for matcha lovers. The menu features everything from ice cream to lattes to milk teas.. and I like how you can choose levels of matcha intensity (aka how much do you not want to sleep tonight lol) Service was efficient and spacious interior with a decent amount tables. Parking can be a pain depending on what time and day you go to this plaza. (Weekends in Chinatown will definitely put your driving patience to the test) I got a custom mango matcha latte and also tried out my friends' soft serve and ice cream. All are pretty solid with a good amount of sweetness. The cleanliness of the restaurant was a bit sloppy, there was a weird smell when we sat down and the bathrooms weren't maintained as well. Overall a good option in Chinatown for dessert in a competitive area. Good stop to satisfy your matcha cravings.

Matcha latte
Andrea K.

I heard a lot about this place and was excited to finally try it after passing by many times. I was sadly disappointed by the quality of the drink. I might return to order something else and give it another try, but I figured the matcha latte would be a classic to start with. The matcha latte I received tasted diluted, and it wasn't as smooth as expected. Another thing I noticed other reviews mentioned, and something I noticed immediately as I walked in, there is a bathroom/sewage smell. It had rained a little bit that night so it might be the rain, but it still smelled pretty bad inside. The service was good and helpful, and there were a fair amount of seats available for a Saturday night. However, in summary, for a place that focuses on matcha, I was expecting more.

Level 2 Matcha Ice Cream ($4.95)
Diana C.

Sad to say that this place has gone way down hill. We came on a Saturday after lunch around 12:30 and ordered an iced oat milk matcha latte. I asked the cashier if they had oat milk before I ordered, and he said yes. I ordered and paid, he turns around and says, oh...we don't have anymore oat milk to his coworker. So he comes to me and asks me if I would like soy or almond. I ended up just getting whole milk and put in matcha boba topping instead, for the same price of alternative milk. The drink looked amazing, but the matcha tasted weak and cheap. I'm not sure what brand of matcha they use but for being a dedicated matcha place, I would have expected higher quality. The matcha was dull, to put it kindly. The bathrooms were not maintained at all. It was dirty and unkept. So disappointing that it seems like this place has gone downhill.

Iced Matcha Latte
Lucie N.

ORDER Matcha shaved ice with Matcha jelly and Matcha Boba - super yummy with great Matcha flavored throughout the shaved ice. My family really liked their jelly and the Boba. The soft serve is also very delicious and creamy with good matcha flavor. Iced Matcha Latte - Great strong matcha flavor with good ratios of milk to matcha. It wasn't too sweet as well, so absolutely delicious!! VIBES Crowded on a Saturday night with some people studying and families enjoying matcha! Cute art around the interior and decently clean! SERVICE Service is great! Quick and nice!

Matcha soft serve
Anh P.

Soft serve ice cream was what we came here for. It was not bad but not the greatest. Service was quick and attentive. The indoor decor was not bad either.

Shaved ice with soft serve swirl
Win L.

Great dessert place for matcha lovers that is also open late! We got the Matcha shaved ice, which also came with soft. Serve ice cream and two free toppings. The shaved ice had a strong matcha flavor, so it tasted great both frozen and slightly melted. We got the soft serve as a vanilla and Matcha swirl. It was very creamy and rich just the way we like it. They have a number of dessert options, including ice cream with three different strengths of Matcha. They also have a number of Matcha based drinks. Plenty of indoor seating and free parking in the complex. The service is counter service, but efficient and friendly. We love the dog murals, which were absolutely adorable in the store.

Cute spot in China Town. Menu is not huge but has what you would expect from a matcha dessert spot. Went midday on a Friday. Not crowded and quite mellow. Service was quick and attentive.

Menu 2025
Kartrinna H.

I came in after lunch and was quite skeptical but hopeful seeing the menu, I just ordered the iced matcha latte and it was so GOOD. I'm honestly quite surprised the ratings are on the lower end. The worker was nice about helping with choosing my options and my drink out very quick. The store is spacious making it a great space to hang out :)

matcha and vanilla soft serve
Irene R.

The soft serve was amazing! It was so creamy and the vanilla and matcha flavors complimented each other so well. The service was friendly and quick. The place itself its cute and they have enough tables to chat or study if you would like.

I was in for a long drive from Sugar Land out to The Woodlands, so I decided to swing into Asiatown…read moreand grab a drink to help soothe the pain of driving on the Sam Houston at 3pm. I pulled over in the first parking lot I could find and opened Yelp to help me find something. I'm telling you all of this because I ended up walking into Le Drip and ordering the "Egg Coffee", knowing nothing about it. Now, I've been on this earth for a minute and I've drank a lot of coffee. This is among the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Certainly the best I've had in recent memory. What I'm saying is it's in the running for the best coffee drink I've ever had. The egg cream is thick and eggy, which I loved. The coffee itself is bold with a strong coffee taste. The cream is dusted with a heavy shake of cinnamon and it all melded together into a delicious concoction that I couldn't get enough of. If you're looking for a memorable coffee drink, I would recommend giving this spot a shot. Tell 'em Big D sent you.

Finally got around to trying this cozy little coffee shop. Perhaps it wasn't for me, but I found…read morethe drinks at Le'Drip to be just okay. The famous Egg Coffee didn't stand out at all from all the praise it receives. I expected a rich, creamy coffee experience, but I couldn't find any coffee essence at all. Instead, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet from start to finish. I was also excited to try the new Lychee Jasmine Matcha since it sounded phenomenal, but it ended up being my least favorite. The lychee flavor completely overpowered matcha, making it hard to enjoy the drink. Overall, it was a good try but it wasn't cup of coffee.

The desserts here are seriously delicious! The cakes are definitely the highlight for me --…read morebeautifully tempting, fragrant, rich, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee and milk tea are also pretty good. Most of the menu consists of desserts, and there are quite a few options that vegetarians can enjoy. Despite how busy this place gets, the service is surprisingly efficient. The line moves at a reasonable pace, orders are handled quickly, and the staff are consistently polite and professional. What I particularly appreciate is that everyone is treated equally, regardless of who they are. Even when four police officers arrived together, they still waited in line like everyone else. And here comes the most unexpected part of my visit: I actually ran into Steven Adams of the Houston Rockets! I was genuinely surprised to see an NBA player here with his girlfriend. What impressed me even more was how down-to-earth and friendly he seemed. They patiently waited in line like everyone else, and when the item they wanted turned out to be unavailable, they simply left without making a fuss. That little moment left a really positive impression on me. The location is convenient, with a spacious parking lot right in front. Inside, the shop is bright, nicely decorated, and roomy enough to sit back and enjoy your desserts comfortably. The layout is wheelchair-accessible, with plenty of space to move around. There are also a few outdoor tables for those who prefer sitting outside. Even when the place is packed, the noise level is still manageable, so you can actually enjoy a conversation without feeling overwhelmed by the crowd. Overall, this place gets a big thumbs-up from me for its delicious desserts, efficient service, and welcoming atmosphere. It's not just the food that makes the experience enjoyable, but also the way the staff treat their customers. If I'm ever back in Houston, this will definitely be on my list of places to revisit. I'll happily recommend it to friends, too!

One of my favorite little spots to grab a matcha! I love the insane variety of matchas they have on…read morethe menu because apparently having just one or two good options would be far too easy. And if I'm with my boyfriend, he always spoils me and allows me to get 2 (one for the next day, of course)! One of my favorites is the Biscoff Banana Pudding Matcha. It's basically a dessert and a pick-me-up in one, so obviously I'm going to support that kind of decision-making. It's creamy, sweet, and with the crunchy textures, it's just such a fun combination. The other thing I am OBSESSED with here is the croffles! Easily one of the best I've ever had. They're super fresh, buttery, and have the perfect texture. But honestly, the cream they put on top is what really gets me. It's not overly sweet or super heavy, which I appreciate because I would like to enjoy my dessert without downing a whole glass of water... or maybe... a matcha? lol My boyfriend and I like coming here every now and then and sharing a croffle (because apparently we are capable of sharing things), and we love the indoor and outdoor seating areas too. It's such a cute little spot to hang out, grab a drink, eat something sweet, and just chill. Now for the one downside: the parking. If you know, you know. The parking situation is... less than ideal, especially considering this is Bellaire. But honestly, if you're coming here to grab a drink, eat, play on the claw arcade, and get a dessert, I'd say it's worth surviving the parking chaos. Pro tip: CALL AHEAD AND ASK IF THEY STILL HAVE CROFFLES! I learned this lesson the hard way. One time, I brought a large group of friends here after dinner specifically so everyone could try the croffles... only for us to find out they had just run out. SAD! You can imagine my devastation after hyping them up. They actually felt really bad and told us that we could call ahead next time to check if they still had any available, which I thought was incredibly nice of them. So now I'm passing that wisdom along because I refuse to let anyone else experience the heartbreak of arriving croffle-less. Overall, such a cute spot with great matcha, delicious croffles, and a fun little atmosphere. Just prepare yourself mentally for the parking situation and CALL AHEAD FOR THE CROFFLES!!!

I went with 100% sugar (no regrets--just work out an extra hour afterward ). The balance of tart and sweet was spot on, and the quality really stands out compared to your average boba shop. Yes, the drinks aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. You're paying for freshness and flavor, and it shows. The ambiance is clean, bright, and modern, and the service was solid. Drinks came out relatively quickly, even though it was busy. If you're tired of the same old average boba places, definitely give Macu Tea a try. Enjoy!

I've visited many times and have been impressed with the consistency of both the tea and boba. My go-tos are the Cassia Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea, and Green Tea, all with Cream and Bubble. I typically order their drinks with less lce and light sugar, which have been perfect for me. Their fruit teas are also delicious, although I would definitely recommend reducing the sugar level to allow the tea flavor to shine through. The size of their drinks is also perfect for me; large enough to enjoy but small enough to not be overwhelming. At this location you can order at the kiosk or at the cashier, which helps to expedite the line especially when it gets busy. You could consider studying here, especially with its notably large tables, however seating is limited and it can get loud during rush hour. I would highly recommend Chi Cha San Chen, especially if you've never tried a high-quality, tea-forward milk or fruit tea.

I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.
