    Laminated menu at the counter

    This is one of my favorite new local spots! It's right across the street from where I go to Pilates. Easy kiosk ordering as you first step inside. I love that they've added some savory, hot food to the menu. I inhaled the tasty Yaki Udon with Shrimp. The owners are so nice. I'm asking Katy & Richmond locals to please support this business. It's in the old Proud Pie spot --- so you know where it is! I've tried the Taro Milk Tea and the Strawberry Matcha Tea. Both were excellent!

    I love this place! The drinks are large and delicious. They have so many types of boba and jellies! The lunch bentos are super affordable and filling. The staff was very nice and welcoming. As of now the interior is the same as the restaurant that used to occupy it which was good. Will be back!

    This place is nice and chill. The drinks are good can adjust the sweetness which is nice, i love the macha vanilla latte. The cafe interior is cute and clean. The food is good bento box is good for the price the yakisoba is very flavorful... waiting time is a little long but be patient they are just a soft opening. The owner of the Cafe is Nicole she is very nice and accommodating, even took time to talked to us even she is busy because she is all around, she has a staff who is nice and very friendly. We will definite come back here and will try the thai tea.

    This is a large space for a boba shop. Upon walking in they have some nice jazz music playing. No one welcomed me or offered any direction on how to order. They have a self order kiosk which feels a little impersonal. There was one person working who was making all the drinks and food. What's interesting is the kiosk had options to order food dishes and egg dishes. But none of those are on the billboard menu. It also took me some time to scroll through the menu on the kiosk and then you are required to pick customizations. If there was anyone here besides me it could be a long wait just to order. Especially since there are more options on the kiosk then the board menu which takes time to look at vs being able to decide while waiting in line. There is a sign saying bakery coming soon but the bakery case looked pretty bleak, it didn't ensure much confidence in that addition. I also think they could be more helpful and perhaps make a sign of top ten drink orders/customizations to help a customer decide on their first drink. Especially since no one talks to you to offer any help. It took 9 min for them to make my strawberry tea and it cost $6.76 for a basic tea with boba. Pretty steep if you ask me. Tea was okay but nothing I would come back for. Another thing that irked me was that I requested an email receipt and it created an appointment in my calendar because it was a pick up order and it assigned a time. I don't see how this place is going to survive.

    Place has a weird smell. Coffee is expensive. Seating not comfortable. Good hospitality!

    After making their hyped debut nearly 2 years ago, Wanpo Tea Shop has remained one of my favorite…read morestops in Katy Asian Town (KAT). Their line of beverages have hit the spot in a way where I can laud them for their consistency in both customer service and selection of drinks. Their selection of drinks are broken down in milk tea, fruit tea, latte, "pure" tea, traditional, and cheese. Toppings include aiyu, grass, red bean, tapioca, pearl, and combined boba with sugar level adjustments. The standouts in each section for me are as follows: (pure) jinxuan oolong, kumquat lemon tea (fruit), winter melon lemonade (traditional), yamamasa koyamaen's matcha (latte), and their regular wanpo milk tea. If I'm feeling really indulgent, I'll get a cheese cream oreo but that's a rare occasion. They've done a good job of opening up the interior space and the layout is ideal for groups and solo action. This is likely to accommodate lines (if any) throughout the week. The illuminated tea areas is a nice decorative touch, There are some table + board games and the place is really pretty during the daytime when the natural light kicks in. WiFi is also on point. The staff is young, friendly, and mostly bilingual in Mandarin + English. Prices are the standard $5-7 per drink, and parking is always abundant in this part of KAT. Given Wanpo's Taiwanese roots and celebrated global brand, it only legitimizes (and further saturates) the greater Houston tea scene.

    I had a very...weird experience at Wanpo. I ordered a Sugarcane Lemonade and when I tasted it, it…read moredidn't taste like Sugarcane, just straight lemon. Wanting to give Wanpo the benefit of the doubt, I asked if it could be remade because it was a $8 drink. The worker, whose name I believe is Eric, SNIFFED my drink through the straw and said that it's Sugarcane and gave it back to me.....He then said he wouldn't remake it because it smells like it...Huh..? I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

    Great spot for Japanese sandos (sandwiches)! Both hot and cold sandos are available here…read more Spicy Chicken Katsu Sando - Appreciated that they cut the sandwich in half for convenience. Plus triangle-cut sandwiches taste better lol. The sliced Chicken Katsu pieces were thick, juicy, and super crispy. Amazing bread too, light and spongy, with the crusts cut off. Nice additions inside - the savory sauce had just a hint of spice and the shredded cabbage was crunchy and fresh. Mango Cream Sando - the cream inside was light and airy, with subtle sweetness. Paired well with the sweet and fresh mango. Great dessert sandwich to finish off the meal. For drinks, they have a large assortment of coffee, tea, matcha, soda refresher, slush, and more. We got the Ube Cream Coffee, which was one of their popular drinks (had a star next to it on the menu). The coffee itself was super rich, like classic Vietnamese coffee. Interesting twist with the Ube Cream on top. Fluffy and cloud-like with nice Ube flavor. I'm glad they gave a lot (1/3 of cup), since it was yummy and made the drink more creamy. Love the book wall, it goes up to the ceiling with floating books too. The interior gives such cozy vibes, especially with the dark wood tables and shelves. Fast service - no wait to place my order and all my food was ready after checking out the decor. They have a small sando menu but they have mastered them well, so it's easy to pick from the short list. Lovely to grab a sandwich and coffee here to relax!

    Japanese Sandos!…read more Ordered the Ebi/Shrimp Sando (loved the crispiness of the shrimp, my favorite one), Spicy Chicken Sando (nice little kick and chicken was cooked all the way through/had good flavor) and the Egg Sando (came as a cold item and eggs were creamy). The milk bread they used for the sandos were really good and soft/pillowy. Deff get the Ebi/Shrimp Sando! For a drink, I got the Pandan Cream Coffee. Strong coffee taste and the pandan cream was a salted version which balanced out the strength of the viet coffee flavor. Inside had plenty of seating and you can buy cute keychains from the front as well. Parking - Within the plaza

I've tried a few different ones, but I keep wishing for more depth in flavor... like the earthiness of matcha or the brightness of citrus to really come through. It's especially disappointing considering I commute quite a ways to get here. That said, the shop itself is super cute! I love the decor and the cute little Photo Booth inside! it's a cozy little tea spot with so many matcha options, probably the most I've seen in Houston. The service has always been great too. The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, which I really appreciate. I haven't found the one yet, but I'm not giving up. I'll definitely keep trying this and hopefully, with a little customization, I can find a combo that really hits the spot.
