The pho and bun bo hue is made very well. The pho in particular is rich in beefy flavor albeit I wish the meat wasn't cut so small. Even so, it is great comfort food. The pho noodles, however, were perfectly cooked and the broth has a great beefy flavor to it. The bun bo hue seems to be their bread in butter-- it is rich in flavor! The broth is nice and spicy. It had an explosion of flavor. The meat and pig blood was cooked perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I've been here twice and plan on coming back! read more

I guess this place is getting cut in half or losing real estate or something. I understand this establishment is going under construction and is going to be named Pho Bi under the owner. Came in here for some soup and boba. My son had the Pho and I had that Bun Bo Hue. I guess he was hungry because there was not a drop left in the bowl but let me tell you something about my soup, these people do not play! That thing was on fire! Spiciness level was above more than what you would get any place around Houston very flavorful and the way that I like it. The Vietnamese iced coffee was just as good as any other.. I guess it was the owner that walked by smiled and waved hello as she walked from the outside to the kitchen which gave a good vibe however the cashier I guess you could call her that really gave me a negative vibe one of those like teenagers that would rather be 100 other places than here trying to help her boss at work? Anyways besides that interior had nice furniture as you can see there are two chairs painted silver outlined something that would make you feel like a king or queen if you sat in it. They were a little bit stingy with the air conditioning but at least it was a hot. Definitely would come here again because of the Bun Bo Hue. read more

I was pleasantly surprised. I thought this was a restaurant but it looks like the boba shop expanded their menu with food. Upon walking in I was hit with an amazing aroma from the food and knew I was going to be for a treat. I ordered the bun bo hue and it was rich and complex is many ways. The dish came with a plate of veggies and I should've asked for more. I didn't eat the lettuce as it's not traditional for me. It comes with a small container of peppers and I will warn you....take it easy so with it. I have an extremely high tolerance for spice but these were potent. I regretted it later if you know what I mean but the dish was still amazing. They also had fresh gio cuon (Vietnamese spring rolls) that looked amazing that I'll probably try next time. I highly recommend them for the bun bo hue if you are a fan. read more

We came to try the bun bo hue specifically because some friends recommended it. It's in the same strip mall as Viva, which is currently being repaired after having a fire. We got a small size for my wife and a regular size for me. I didn't know that the regular size was another places large size. I managed to eat almost all of it. The flavor is good with a good quantity of meat and pork knuckles. The veggies were fresh but needed a little more banana flower. My wife thought the soup could be hotter. It was probably around 165° f. She likes to make her own around 200° f when serving, so the veggies cook when added. All in all, the bun bo hue is tasty and well worth the price. read more

*NEW UPDATE* My 1 star is now a 3 star after the owner ended up calling me back to refund my chicken banh mi. But I'm leaving my review in the case it helps someone else in the future. I'm very thankful that Mike called me, but the experience before was terrible. --------- You want to experience a business blocking your number for a mistake they made? This is the place. I specifically ordered 1 chicken banh mi and 1 pork banh mi. The chicken one is for a family member who can ONLY have chicken. Drove back home 40 minutes and found 2 pork banh mi. Only went to this place because I was getting my nails done nearby. I then called and told the resturant and they proceeded to tell me to drive back out to them to return the banh mi and hang up on me. They blocked my number. I was the only one in the resturant and I made it adament to the front desk PLEASE have chicken. I would absolutely give them 0 stars if I could. read more

I came here on my way to another place in the area and saw they had sugarcane juice. It's typically hard to find sugarcane on the NW side of town, or any other side for that matter. Good sugarcane with no added ingredients other than ice. They were doing renovations at the time and building a bench in the main sitting area. It took a few minutes for the order, but when they brought it to the counter, it was a large glass with limited ice. Nearly $7, but again, there isnt a lot of competition in the area. read more

We popped in after a girls lunch next door at Viva. The decor in here was super cute. We enjoyed taking some photos while we waited for our drinks. I got a classic milk tea with boba. They didn't carry lychee jelly, which was a surprise. It was good but not the best tea flavor that I've had. I took a lychee slushy to go for my daughter. It was a bit too sweet for her to finish. We would go back for the ambience and a craving, though it wouldn't be my first pick. read more

If you are looking for a place near Jersey Village to study, hang, have good conversation over some good drinks and eats, come to R Tea Zone. This place is in the middle of an oasis of strip malls with ethnic foods. It's next door to Viva (Vietnamese/Chinese) so it's a great place to grab a drink on the way home or to park your laptop and get some work done. When you go in you see an open minimalist modern decor with a bit of rustic farmhouse. There's room at the farm table and also some comfy chairs with coffee tables. Curiously the place opens up to a cabinet showroom (didn't ask!) The workers were enthusiastic about their drinks and foods, which was awesome to hear. I asked what was their favorites, so I tried their recommendation to get some Cafe Su Da (iced Vietnamese Coffee). We were able to customize with 2% milk and he warned it still has a strong bitter aftertaste, and I'm like yes! Bring it on. Overall the coffee was strong and bold, definitely a trademark bitter aftertaste but right on the money. My friend tried the Thai Tea, which he also suggested to add in a free topping of egg pudding. My friend has lived in Asia and has made his way to many a boba place, and he said it was among the better ones he's tried. I am looking forward to trying their fruit teas, smoothies, and taro milk tea. On the food side, they also have tonkatsu ramen, popcorn chicken, and a highly touted Teriyaki chicken bowl. I loved meeting the owner, Rainbow, and she was personable and very customer focused. I was impressed with her humility as she said she's always learning from her customers. That's a great trait in a business owner, always growing and improving. This is looking to be my go to drink spot when I'm not in the office! read more

I really love pho here, the owner cooks a very traditional flavor, fragrant, delicious, and hot until you finish your bowl of pho. It's been a long time since I've had Vietnamese pho.

It's hard for me to find boba places that offer winter melon tea. It definitely is a winner in my book when they do offer it. My favorite go to would be the iced winter melon tea added toppings chia seeds and herbal jelly! Refreshing and a filling snack! And toppings are free which was a great bonus. I love how convenient they packaged my Togo order, I was worried how I was going to hold all four drinks. But they made it super easy to carry! Great spot to find last minute to fulfill my favorite craving! read more

I would give a 5 star review if I never tasted real milk tea, but because I have, I will give them the 2 stars they deserve. The service was fine except for the fact that our drinks weren't made in front of us. I got 2 drinks, a Taro milk tea and an Oolong milk tea (neither tasted how they should have). My drink tasted like the cup was laced with mint and the drink for my daughter tasted like the cup had not been cleaned and she said it had a metallic taste. To make a long story short, I will not be going here again. read more

So far from my first visit I only had their pineapple smoothie. I asked for 50 percent sweet and it still taste great you can def. tell they also use real fruit. They are very nice workers def. want to be nice and kind to their clients. I have yet to try their milk teas will be reviewing soon. - the place is very nice. Nice looking great furniture and some modern decor. Although the place is kind of small I would def. come by to study considering it is not as busy yet. read more

Finally got to try this place out because my cousin liked it and told me that their milk tea was good. I got a green milk tea but I'm pretty sure they gave me a black milk tea instead. I could definitely taste the tea and the do make it fresh with a shaker so that was a nice touch. However, the drinks weigh in at $4.5 WITHOUT any toppings. My total was $4.87 and for a local subpar shop that's quite high. They also put too much ice. Once the ice melted, my drink tastes like nothing. I would have rather spent my money at tea top or share tea honestly but I was in the area and craving. Overall OK but wouldn't recommend unless you're dying for drinks in the middle of the night lol read more

The House special is like a copy cat version of Long Coffee's Royal Artichoke but it was unsuccessful in comparison. I asked for less sugar and it was pretty sweet. The employee was nice. I think their A/C wasn't working it was very warm inside the place. I did appreciate the big bench table to accommodate my big family. We were able to play with the UNO cards they had available for the customers to use. They did not have any matcha green tea drinks. This is a negative for me and my twin daughters since this that is our go to drink. My two brothers think they could use a TV mounted somewhere in the place. Overall, the drinks are over priced for lacking flavor or specialty. I doubt me or my family will be back. read more

Update!! I recently went to R Tea Zone and they had many more options this time, including food like banh mi and ramen! This time I tried the peach milk tea with double boba and it's very similar to my favourite store here, like, honestly basically no difference. Since they've added more options, I have given them five stars! Service as usual was great and the atmosphere inside is cute and chill. I would really love to go again and try some different milk tea flavours! Cheers! read more

If I could describe this place in one word I'd say yummy! This was my first time trying this place out. The inside looks nice, a chill kind of vibe. What i had was completely all recommended to me. To drink I had was the Thai tea with pudding, the flavor was on point. For my food I had the Banh Mi Thit Kho, the roll was okay but the pork and all the veggies inside were flavorful and delicious. Id definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

Very nice ambience, with plenty of seating. Only give 3 stars because the quality has gone down while prices have gone up. Been coming here since they first opened and I used to love their Bahn Mi and winter melon milk tea, but it seems like they changed their recipes or something. Good service, but price doesn't match quality. read more

Visited this place sometime a while back and didn't think much of it. Wasn't bad at all but didn't especially wow me. Decided to give it a try again today. This was some of the best drinks I've had in the city. Best on this side if town for sure. Love having a place closer that serves a good matcha strawberry latte (made with fresh strawberries too!) without having to drive over to Bellaire. I noticed some drinks on their menu like the Coco special that looks like it may have basil seed which I love so I'm looking forward to trying that one on my next visit. The kids got slushies and expressed how they really enjoyed them and they must have because they finished their drinks. That is something that rarely happens. Employees were nice and place was clean so bonus win. I will definitely be visiting this place more often in the future to get my tapioca fix. read more
