It's nice to see things in Chinatown that are actually Chinese. This place offers online ordering, and I arrived to find it a pure takeout with no cafe to sit in. This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start. They had some interesting menu options and I appreciated the light flavor of the grass jelly in the tea I got, but the actual tea flavor wasn't that strong. read more

Boba from Sharetea is the one thing that made walking through the sweltering DC heat bearable! I've definitely had better boba, but that wasn't really the point lol. - Thai tea: Pretty strong and had a good amount of sweetness. - Taro tea: Needed a lot more taro. - Pineapple coconut: Refreshing! - Mango: Honestly wasn't that memorable, probably needed more mango. Ambiance- there is no seating. Service was fine, you order on a screen. 7/10 would recommend! read more

Was in the mood for some boba in the area and I personally like Sharetea's drinks, so I decided to order. Located just a short walk from the Chinatown gate, you will have to go down a short set of stairs. There is no seating area. Just smart tablets for ordering and a small area to stand for picking up. I got a Hokkaido Pearl Milk Tea and it tasted just as expected and consistent with other Shareteas I've been to. Service was fine, no complaints! All in all, a pretty straight forward bubble tea chain and overall good quality if you're looking for something with a few more topping options like a scoop of ice cream and mini bubbles as well as the normal sized bubbles. read more

This tiny garden-level boba shop is tucked away deep in DC's Chinatown. Once you walk down the stairs, you're greeted by a self-order kiosk... and not much else. There's no seating while you're wait , so find a spot to stand in the narrow hallway while you await your drink! The sweetness scale swings towards the milder side than what I'm used to. I usually get 50% sweet elsewhere, but 50% sweet here was hardly sweet at all - my honey green tea had a very strong tea flavor. Order accordingly, I would probably do 80% sweet if I were to come back. The portion size for the boba topping was also quite small given the size of the drink, but I can never have enough boba! The boba itself was a nice and chewy texture. read more

Heard this was THE boba place to try in Chinatown. The spot is cute but can get crowded quickly. You order via kiosk which is nice because you can do all your preferences for sweetness, ice, types of bubbles, etc. I got a matcha latte but was disappointed the only special matcha type they had was red bean. I was hoping for a fruity add on to it. Came out quickly and the staff behind the counter was nice. The tapioca bubbles were a little tougher than the king fu tea I had ordered earlier in the day and this place was a little pricier too. read more

Great staff and an even better selection of boba, tea, iced, etc. The kiwi fruit tea with aiyu jelly was my favorite; make sure to get a loyalty card for stamps! It can get a bit cramped inside ordering if it gets busy, but this is one of the best bubble tea places over ever gone to. As a bonus, you can also swap sugar for honey as a sweetener which is something you don't normally see! read more

A few of us stopped by for Sharetea after dinner nearby. My friend says Sharetea is his favorite boba in DC. The space is pretty small (very little to no interior seating, and definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of shop). They also have a couple kiosks to order which makes it more convenient. I got the classic black milk tea with pearls (30% ice and 30% honey -- I like that I can choose honey and not sugar here) and the drink was the standard large size (that I usually am not able to finish). It's not too sweet and the customizations were perfect for me. This Sharetea location is one of the better ones I've tried in terms of drinks. read more

My daughters were craving a boba tea. I looked up on Yelp and found this place getting a great review. This place is one block off from Capital One arena. The shop is located at the basement level. I got an NYC vibe. You can order from the mobile app or touch screen at the shop. I like this place because you can select how much sugar and many kinds of bubbles. My daughters had Green milk tea and I had a coffee milk tea. I am crazy about the very sweet formed milk on the top, but the quality of the tea is very decent. I will definitely come back to this place. read more

Had a long wait time to a new Sushi spot that is down the street, so we decided to get some bubble tea on a hot, summer day. Just got the Hawaii Drink and it was very refreshing and sweet.

Great tasting bubble tea with options to customize your preference for the level of ice and sweetness. You can also add toppings. I was surprised to see how big the portion size was. Currently they are not taking walk-in orders. You have to place your orders online. It took longer than the ten to fifteen minutes that we were told for our order of three to be prepared, but it was worth the wait if you have a hankering for it. Lol read more

Terrible customer service didn't even give water very rude yelling at me while they said it.

One of the few bubble tea establishments in DC Chinatown. It is a very small space, slightly hidden (need to walk down a few steps) a block away from the Chinatown Arch on H Street. There is no seating inside. There are two kiosks at the counter where you can place your order. We ordered the Tropical Fruit Tea and Boba with Fresh Milk. Both drinks were very good. The Tropical Fruit Tea was very refreshing, and the Boba with Fresh Milk hit the spot! read more

Came here for after dinner drinks. Got a classic black boba tea. Very standard as far as tea joint goes. Good tea taste. Nothing special about the boba. I got the tropical fruit tea. It taste orangy and my son who is super picky enjoyed it. The only thing i didnt like was that there is only one standard size for the drinks. It was late when we got them and i would have prefer a smaller size read more

* 8.5/10 * Since dessert is MANDATORY after any meal of that matter, we chose to get some boba. The Strawberry ice blended boba with lychee jelly and ice cream was the perfect mix of flavors. We were glad that they had DF milk options such as almond milk, which was our milk substitute for the matcha creama. We enjoyed both bobas and would come back again! ^@kamibites on Instagram read more

This is a super small, but cute bubble tea shop. Please note that you have to order via their app, where the prices of the drinks are slightly higher than the cost advertised in the store. We ordered the Mango Green Milk Tea and Kiwi Fruit Tea with Aiyu Jelly, and both were ready in less than 10 minutes. The latter had only 30% sugar and yet it was way too sweet, while the Mango Green Milk Tea tasted artificial. read more

As the only boba tea shop in Chinatown, the location was less than ideal and the inside was quite tight. Customers needed to scan the QR code to access the menu, place and pay for the order. The teas here were not as sweet as Kung Fu Tea and I always added more sugar to suit my taste. I liked their slush more than their more popular boba teas though. read more

we were in the mood for some boba while visiting DC. i was surprised that there aren't many milk tea spots in the city, but we found sharetea and decided to come here since we are very familiar with the chain back in the bay area (plus i worked there in high school!) this tiny shop is located in chinatown below ground level. they currently only take online orders so be sure to order through their website before arriving. we ordered online and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. // order // jasmine milk tea with pearls (30% sweet, less ice) $5.50 a classic green milk tea, the drink tasted as i remember it tasting back home. pearls were good and chewy. 30% was enough sweetness. sharetea's drinks are also a large i would definitely recommend sharetea as they are consistent and it seems to be the cheapest boba in the DC area as well. read more

Worst share tea location experience :( Hurts me to write this because I love the sharetea chain and make it a point of going when there is one in a city I am visiting. I went here twice during my short DC trip and the drinks were not good. First time I got my usual QQ happy family milk tea and second time I got the coffee milk tea with boba. Both drinks had no flavor at all. No tea or coffee taste to them. I felt like I was just drinking water. The location is also not like any other sharetea I have been to. This is definitely more grab and go type of place. But even so, it's super cramped inside where you have to order and wait to pick it up. The staff here is also not friendly. They messed up my order and rolled their eyes at me when they tried to give me a "kiwi tea" and I said I got the "QQ happy family". No smiles or anything from them. At least the toppings like boba were good and this place works with the "ritual" app that makes online app ordering an easier process than in person. read more

This was so good! My friend recommended that we come here after he tried the Sharetea in LA and it did not disappoint. There's no seating and you'll need to order from your phone through a QR code, as a heads up. Okinawa Pearl (30% sugar and boba): so good! It's so flavorful and just the right amount of sweetness. One of my friends got this with 50% sugar and we both agreed it was too sweet. Mango and passion fruit green tea (30% sugar): really good if you're looking for a non-milk option for boba tea! Even though we got it as 30% sweet it was still pretty sweet, but nonetheless delicious! read more

....meh. First off, there's really no reason this place doesn't have a larger sitting area. The design is off. Anyhoo, the peach mojito in itself was fine (too many limes) but they really lack variety in milks for tea or at least communicating what they offer. I asked them if they had any plant based milks and the guy just pointed me to the disclaimer that if you have allergies you should be cautious about dining. Initially I thought, "okay, fair" only to later see that they did in fact have almond milk. I'll stick to Kung Fu tea. They're more hospitable there and the menu is detailed. read more

I'm still appalled that this is one of the only boba spots in Chinatown but it hits the spot, so I'm not complaining! Winter melon fresh milk (4.5/5): I asked for 30% honey as the sweetener but I still found it quite sweet. Maybe next time I'll try it without sweetener, as I am aware that the Wintermelon itself is quite sweetened. I've had their passionfruit tea before which is quite refreshing and their Hokkaido milk tea is quite decadent but delicious! read more

I like the boba here, but do not love the physical shop. Sharetea is slightly hidden; you have to walk down a few steps to the entrance. There is basically no room to wait for your drink inside. You walk in and the counter is right there. They also haven't started taking orders at the register; instead, you have to order online. However, your drink comes out pretty fast! It's just unfortunate that there isn't space to hang out like other boba spots. read more

The milk tea green tea is honestly pretty amazing. I think what makes this boba better is that the boba actually has a sweetened flavor in of itself Tried the black tea milk tea upon return. It is great too but the green tea is better in my opinion. Tried the ginger tea this time. Not as good as the others in my opinion. The flavor was great like ginger, but the grit of the ginger fiber was in the beverage. I am convinced it was made from fresh ginger which is great but texturally, I wouldn't order it again. 9/9 tried the mango green tea creama. It was certainly not bad, but the cream unexpectedly tasted like butter with the more fruity taste of the tea. I didn't really care for the combo, but still stand by you can't go wrong with the green fresh milk tea het 9/13 I tried the Thai tea, oh wow! It was extremely tasty and had quite a good caffeine boost. I would definitely say this is a good flto try for sure. 10/6 I tried the ice blended thai tea-very refreshing, possibility better than the regular Thai milk tea. My parents tried the strawberry ice blended tea. I personally did not care for that one- it was extremely sweet and the strawberry tasted artificial. read more

I've been to sharetea a few times but this was my first Thai tea from them and it's among the best I've tried. I ordered Thai milk tea with pearls, regular ice level, 30% sugar and it's the perfect balance between milkiness, tea taste and boba! Highly recommend. My preference and criteria for a good boba place is that I need to be able to taste the tea, rather than just a sugary drink though. read more

Small spot, it better to order ahead so once you get there you can just go in, grab your drink and go. My friend whose a boba addict/connoisseur claims this is the best boba spot in the dc area.

Very small little shop that you have to go downstairs from the street to get to. There is no seating inside. But the boba teas are awesome!

I got the QQ Happy Family milk tea with less ice, 50% sweet. It came with 6 toppings, yum! There is only one size drink, and it's huge! Love it. read more

No seating area here and there was a good amount of business with like 10 people coming in after us and another 10 coming in as we were leaving, which is a lot of customers in a 20 minute span. My drink was super sweet even though I asked for 30% sweetness. I was in a sugar daze afterwards and I think it might be because I had both grass jelly and boba and that made it sweeter. I got the mango milk tea with no ice and my partner got the milk tea with boba and pudding. I guess the cold drink made my boba not soft, but I was surprised because I've had ice softer boba even with ice and my drink was way too sweet. The pudding in my partner's drink melted too I guess bc it was a warm drink. If we could go back, we would order only one drink and "share" our teas. The sizes are far too big and drinks too sweet not to share. I don't like that they don't ask or have the option to get smaller drinks. read more
