I googled this place for snow ice cups but when I reached there I learnt that they have discontinued it. Anyways so I decided to have eggnette instead and picked up banana strawberries one. Omg first of all the presentation of my desert was pleasant and then the whole experience was delightful. I loved the texture of the icecream scoop used. Quite generous amount of strawberry slices & banana slices added the fruity touch. Bubble waffle was super soft. Anytime you have sweet tooth cravings then this is the spot to come.

We got it for delivery, but even though we picked it up, it was still fresh. The taro tea was good, but I think they use the powder version, and it wasn't mixed completely. My woman likes the Panda milk tea, plus it came in an awesome cup. My coconut smoothie was definitely good. It was a pretty warm day, so the drinks were definitely refreshing.

As soon as I opened the door there was an awful smell, but there was a soccer team there so thought it was just them ‍. I was greeted by a nice lady, but she seemed irritated with me and my questions. I had never been and my daughter wanted a sweet tea. Ordered a tall Strawberry Mango and a Peach Oolong tea. The strawberry mango. More expensive yet smaller. It was tasty but very little boba. The Peach Oolong tea was not very good at all. I asked if it was sweet and, not in the least. There was more boba than the strawberry mango but for the price I could go to Sharetea and get a bigger cup and more boba.

Gotta order your boba and snacks inside Ninja Ramen.  Boba drinks, waffle + ice cream, and hot snacks available.

Interesting process during COVID. So if you want boba and snacks from Royal Tea, you have to go into the Ninja Ramen and order at the table and wait until your order is brought out. Next time I will definitely order online and then pick up to save some time! The bubble waffle will take an extra 10 minutes but it is SO worth it. We devoured that thing quicker than it took to probably make it, lol. I ordered a matcha milk tea with less sugar and it was PERFECT. Since matcha is kind of a bitter tea, sometimes it's hard to get the balance of flavor just right, and they did it. My girls had fun ordering mango slush and mango yakult with boba! Both enjoyed their drinks, they like mango flavor. We really wished we could have had snow but apparently they stopped making that due to covid. We ordered the salt and pepper chicken (light on the salt!), man it's so good, with the dipping sauce that they give you. It's like an orangish, thousand's island flavor??? I don't know what flavor it was but it complimented the chicken very well.

Rose Milk Tea Coconut Milk Tea

I stopped by during lunch for Jasmin green tea with tapioca and I was honestly surprised at how lacking the milk tea was. I knew that it was a problem with the creamer and honestly was a bit upset about it. Unfortunately the tea store is under construction so you actually have to order through ninja ramen and the people there don't know much about the milk tea (they're just taking the order for them). In any case, I went back for dinner because I love boba! This time, I specifically inquired about what was being used for the milk teas. It turns out they weren't using half and half in the milk teas... I asked for them to use half and half this time and they charged me extra for the switch up. But it tastes infinitely better than whatever trash ass creamer they using. Overall, NOT WORTH 5 dollars just to get the milky thick consistency. It is the only boba spot in proximity so I guess if you really need to satisfy your cravings like I did then go for it.

Black milk tea

If you eat next door at Ninja Ramen, then show your receipt here and you'll get a discount. Both are okay places: Nothing stands out, but they don't suck either. I personally will stick with Sharetea. I had the unsweetened black milk tea with tapioca. The drink itself wasn't all that great because I couldn't taste much tea flavor. The tapioca was unpleasant because it had zero chewiness factor, and was not sweet enough. The menu makes no indication of adjusting the sweetness level or adjusting the ice level. But they can do it for you. However, the egg waffle was good. Expect to wait several minutes for it though. The interior is fun and brightly lit though. It seems like a great place to stay and play board games with a group of friends. Parking is tight, but there's more parking if you're willing to walk further.

Thai Rose Tea
Jorena L.

Super mixed feelings about this place. It's probably the best boba place in Arlington to do work. But the boba here is awful. It's gooey and clumpy, and the tea flavors aren't great either. On my last visit, my friend and I both had the Rose Thai Tea. The drink only tasted like rose and no Thai. A few hours later, we both felt sick. Not sure if this is coincidence or our bodies didn't like consuming that much rose. On the other hand, the small bites and desserts are pretty good. I have ordered the Salt & Pepper Chicken to-go many times. The snow ice is pretty good, but also a little expensive. If the drinks here improved, this place would be a home run.

Furikake fries and coconut shrimp
Anh P.

This spot is pretty sweet with its modern and fresh interior to the many drink and food options. Yes, it's decked out like the hundreds of other boba shops around Arlington (I'm not complaining tho!) but I do like the price point and variety of special drinks they have. Food pricing is kinda steep though tbh. The patbingsu (Korean shaved ice topped with an ice cream scoop) caught my friend's eyes and we opted for the matcha green tea flavor with matcha scoop. I personally like it since it isn't so sweet, and had a good texture comparable to typical bingsu shops. Great place to fulfill those cravings! There are many other flavors to choose from too, like mango or cheesecake. Some appetizers we tried were the Japanese furikake fries and coconut shrimp. Both were great but I absolutely LOVED those crispy shoelace thin furikake fries so much. They were topped with sriracha mayo sprinkled with sesame seeds, nori, seaweed, salt and pepper (ingredients of the typical "furikake" mix) and were easily shareable. Everything else, price-wise, doesn't seem worth it. Just get your meal cravings next door to Ninja Ramen and then grab dessert here. The drinks here are great in sugar proportions! I got the oolong milk tea with egg pudding and it hit the spot. The bf got the peach yakult (yogurt brand from Korea... the same one from TATBILB hehe) and it tasted great! I dig the amount of sweetness from the syrup and the slight tartness of the yogurt flavor. It's so delish on a hot day! I ain't mad at all the boba shops poppin' up, and Royal Tea is a fun place to chill at and catch up with friends and fam. They even have board games too, like the other places. Comfy couches, festive decorations, and photography-worthy corners, what's not to like?

The lady that works there is quick and courteous (She deserves a raise!!!) The music, the smell of coffee, the delicious scent of food, what an experience. This place is better than any coffee shop I've been to

My first time visiting this coffee shop was on 11/28/2025. We ordered two large iced cookie butter…read morelattes one regular and one decaf and two breakfast burritos. The cashier accidentally gave us smalls, but it wasn't a big deal, the coffee was really good. While waiting for our breakfast burritos, we decided to order two more. This time we received the correct sizes, but by the time the drinks were finally ready, we were already done eating. The cashier apologized and said the delay was due to them cleaning the decaf maker. I thought that was an odd thing to do in the middle of business hours, but we brushed it off. Still, we waited about 25 minutes for our second round of drinks. Fast forward to today, 11/29/2025. We decided to try the drive-thru. When we got to the window, we were told they were out of decaf because they were cleaning the machine again, right in the middle of business hours. The employee asked if I could just take regular instead. I said no because I have a caffeine sensitivity, which is why I ordered decaf. She then asked me to choose another drink. I said no, I didn't understand why they would be cleaning a machine during business hours when customers are actively ordering drinks. She didn't offer for me to wait or come inside she just refused to make it and insisted it was out of stock, even though it clearly wasn't. They simply chose to clean the machine 4-5 hours before closing. If I were the owner, I would want to know why equipment is being cleaned during business hours and why customers are being turned away because of it. The employees at the front also don't seem very welcoming; they look like they can't wait to go home and seem unhappy to be there.
