Didn't try the food, but it looked authentic. I was tempted to get the milk tea + meat over rice combo for $8, but I had just ate. Seemed like a good deal though. Service was quick and friendly. I wouldn't mind stopping in to try their food next time.

However, on a hot, sunny and unusually humid day, Tea Etc came to the rescue. I got my standard passionfruit green tea with lychee or coconut jelly. It turned out exactly how I like it: not too sweet but fruity enough to mask the green tea flavor. They don't put too much ice, so you're not paying for empty room in your cup. Out of all the boba shops I tried in Australia, Tea Etc stands at the top of my list. Keep on living the boba life, friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zccNQPH7Xe0

Tea Etc is the perfect way to end a hot summer's day Christmas shopping at the Myer Centre. Tucked…read moreinto a tiny booth beneath a bridal store, and wedged between Michael Hill Jewellers and Culture Kings, this little bubble tea shop is easy to miss but shouldn't be overlooked! Bubble teas are gaining popularity as a refreshing alternative to coffee or juice as a pick me up, and Tea Etc have got their recipes down pat. Their drinks aren't as sickly sweet as many of the large bubble tea chains, and the service is very personalised. The staff are incredibly fast, friendly (on some occasions they've even taken my straw wrapper and binned it for me behind the counter), and bilingual, which is one of the secrets to their success. Tea Etc's flagship store is in Sunnybank, aka The Real Chinatown, and since opening in the city it's become an instant success among international students and locals alike. Tea Etc offer a reward card for frequent sippers, and it won't be long until you're racking up the stamps and inching one step closer to your free tea. My picks from the extensive menu include: Jasmine Green Milk Tea, Plum Tea (NB: these aren't fresh, sweet plums but the preserved and salty kind), and the Red Bean frappe icy. But keep drinking into winter too! If you're not a fan of iced beverages, keep an eye out for their heated specials: hot ginger tea with honey infusions. Mmmm. Drinks range from $3 - $4 a pop.

We were actually on our way to another restaurant nearby and we saw the brown sugar bubble tea…read moreposter on the window and just had to stop and take a look at the menu! They seemed to have a reasonably priced menu so we decided to give it a try and we're glad we did! We sat on the patio and it was beautifully decorated. It was modern like it came straight out of Pinterest as you can see in the picture and very different from a usual Chinese restaurant. The menu showed $1 bubble green tea when ordered with a food item so we ordered one thinking it'd come with pearls (boba) since it mentioned "bubble" but it was just sweet green tea. Guess we can't expect too much since it's only $1! We liked everything we ordered and the servers were friendly. Just remember that this is a casual Chinese restaurant, not a Michelin star restaurant so don't expect a super attentive service and servers that go above and beyond. For the price we paid, we're very happy with the meal and would return again!

Why does this place close 8/9pm on a Saturday?! It's honestly so sad…read more.. My friend and I tried 3 or 4 food stalls that ended up already being closed but there was no signs at all to notify people... We finally found a place that was still open named Rice Town. It's on the corner opposite the bar. I believe it's Chinese food. Because they were about to close, they packed it in take away containers. I'm sad because..it was super salty. Like salt laden. It was not crazy bad (MSG?) but to the point you wish you had water to wash the saltiness all down :( I prefer Panda Express 10 times over. It's not a bad place to be I guess when all of the stalls are still open. But the staff should honestly have 'closed' signs available. Staff knew we were in front, but didn't even inform that they were closed till 5-10min later -_- we had to ask them too + this happened at 4 different stalls.

I like the noises of humans and the smell of wok sizzling. I did enjoy abit. It feels like surrogated Asia. I have pork belly in white bun and some coleslaw. I thought it was Chinese cuisine but turned out it is Japanese. The buns and coleslaw were good. But I'm missing out the high notes of that charcoal grilled pork belly. Okay, I'm sorry that I forgot the name of this stall. But don't worry, the best part of 8 Street-all stalls display the cooked dishes in front of their stalls. And for some reasons, you still cannot find it. Feel free to drop a Yelp message :)) There are so much to explore. So choose a meal critically. But oh well, you can always come back for more meals!

Pretty basic bubble tea…read more Never enough pearls or syrup. I have ordered every flavour tea off the menu and the only syrup I can taste is mango. The staff aren't very friendly and if they accidentally mess the order up, they are rude about the replacement. Also if you order after 3pm, they will probably be out of pearls. Haha.

The Green Apple and Strawberry flavours are particularly nice. Tea Bar also serves milk / soy shakes, Pearl Milk Tea and Bubble Pearl Tea. Depending on what drink you order, and whether you order a Regular or Large size, pricing ranges from $4.30 to $5.40 per drink. You also have the option of paying an extra 60 - 80c for an additional topping to be added to your drink. Some of these toppings are very nice, such as the grape gems and the mango gems. The staff are nice, the pricing is reasonable and the wait time for a drink is usually pretty quick. I highly recommend giving them a try.
