    Ordering Station
    April S.

    Awesome space! Very bright and welcoming. The menu is full of delicious item and i wished that i could try them all. We originally stopped by for a drink featuring their chestnut stuffed boba, but alas, they were fresh out. So next time. I instead opted for the grape tea with lemon. It was so awesome. I cant wait to return!

    Not "just another boba place" actually it's quite different. The variety and imagination that goes into the Shuyi drinks are something I haven't seen before and I'm sure you'll also enjoy tying some of the fresh takes on various ideas. Cute intimate space that would make for a nice casual date or a random Friday hang out place.

    They're a fairly new location! I found the store clean and bright! There's ample seating and parking. I placed an order for a brown sugar bubble tea via the kiosk. It was busy but they moved quickly! The employees were friendly. My drink was perfect - sweet but not overly sweet. I added boba (of course). I'd visit again to try their other drinks.

    New Milk Tea spot here in Columbia and it may be the best one yet. Right away you can tell that this place stands out from the rest based on their ingredients and presentation alone. Never knew peanuts, raisins, coconuts, and red bean would all go together to make one of my favorite milk tea drinks. They have a focused menu and all of their creations go together well. The two drinks we tried were delicious and I can't wait to go back for more!

    I really enjoyed the avocado coconut milk drink! I wish the ice was blended so it was more of a smoothie consistency, but that is personal preference. I am excited to try more drinks from their menu. Clean, quick service, fresh drinks!

    Checked out Shuyi for the first time and had to order their cheese matcha bubble tea. I got it with less ice and 50% sweetness. The line was long and service was a bit slow, but it was acceptable since they're probably still working things out and there were so many people. I tried their cheese matcha bubble tea, and I'm glad I didn't add any toppings because it already came with brown sugar pearls. I have to say, it's probably my favorite bubble tea now. I haven't had bubble tea in a long time because most places make it too sweet, so I'm really glad I stopped by.

    Finally, there's a new bubble tea spot in Columbia that's delicious AND affordable! It completely lived up to the hype! I visited Shuyi Grass Jelly & Tea during their grand opening and was incredibly impressed. The lines were so long, but despite the large crowd, the staff were SO fast, organized, and efficient! I waited in line and got all of my drinks made correctly in less than 15 minutes. I loved how festive they were too, from the cute boba decorations to handing out red envelopes with coupons to their grand opening specials (BOGO drinks & first 50 customers got a FREE travel mug), it truly built up the excitement for the crowd and made my experience memorable!   As for the drinks, the difference was obvious! These drinks are made with high-quality, real brewed tea leaves and I was so happy tasting fresh fruit in my drinks. Every drink was generously loaded with toppings! I have to say Shuyi is easily one of my top 3 favorite spots in Maryland for bubble tea, the balance of texture and flavor in each sip was incredible! It's hard to pick favorites because every drink was delicious, but I will say I am definitely going back for the mango pomelo sago and strawberry mochi oolong milk tea. Overall, Shuyi is a fantastic addition to Columbia and this spot is definitely a must visit for bubble tea lovers!

    Drinks: 4/5 My favorite out of the three we got was their strawberry mochi oolong tea. I ordered with zero sugar and oatmilk, and it was perfect for me. Matcha cloud latte was on the creamier side and not enough matcha flavor. Mango pomelo sago was good but not great (per my friend). Service: 3/5 we came in around 7pm and they close at 8, so the staff looked busy and tired which I totally understand. However it did take them 25 minutes to get us our drinks and there were only ~6 drinks ahead of our order that I heard called out. I also recommend that the place invest in drink carrier trays because some of their drinks come with sip lids that aren't sealed and spill some in the bags they were handed to us in. Ambiance: cozy space to hang out for boba, of note the tables are super small and could only fit a few drink cups so probably not a studying kind of cafe.

    Strawberry matcha with cream cloud
    Summer S.

    Ok wow. I'm a bit of a snob, decided to stop by after picking up a Tous les jours self care caloric treat lol Wait was long but understandable as a new place. Clean interiors, nice decor, narrowed side seating. Two lines-one for a person, the other for the screen self service. Figured I'd go with the strawberry cream cloud matcha since if it's not good it should be sweet. Loved that they asked and offered dairy alternatives without an annoying up charge. Usually not an oat milk fan but it didn't taste strong- it was perfect consistency and taste. The drink not just looked good, somehow the grassy jelly just tasted so fresh and perfectly sweet. I think I'm hooked!!! They have a lot of classic faves like oolong, brown sugar, matcha as well as a yogurt line. I will definitely be back at the detriment of my weight loss goals and am nervous about gaining calories now lol

    New bubble spot that's worth a visit. One of the few places that focuses on grass jelly. I got the matcha today and it was pretty good. The location has a lot of parking spots as it's in a shopping center. The location is pretty nice, a decent amount of seating. Standard service, you order at the machine

    Went back to try their mango pomelo sago and was not disappointed! I got it with less sugar and it was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. There was no wait and we got our drink quickly now that the promotion is over.

    Strawberry mochi milk tea

    A newer addition to the Columbia area tea options. The menu is smaller than some places but it demonstrated to me how much care and dedication goes into curated those drinks. I tried the strawberry mochi milk tea and it was refreshing and delicious. There was only an option of 100%, 70% or 0% so I was worried the 70% would be too sweet but it was absolutely perfect. The mochi is made in house and perfect to slurp via a straw! Definitely worth a try!

    We went during grand opening weekend since we saw they had a BOGO deal and it was worth it! So happy to see a boba spot that opened up nearby us. It took us about an hour to wait in line and get our drinks but the staff was really efficient & the drinks were great! We got the classic grass jelly and strawberry mochi. I loved both but I love the texture of the mochi more and I'm glad I was able to sub with oat milk. Apparently all the drinks can be subbed with oat milk besides the grass jelly one since they use fresh milk. The cafe is nice, clean & smells amazing in there. It will probably be a bit busy for awhile but they did a great job and we even got a tumbler for being the first 50 to make a purchase that day! 5/5 would recommend & I hope they expand the menu to more drinks since I would assume the menu they have is just the grand opening one. Can't wait to go again!

There are quite a few options on what to order. The main attraction is basically hotpot, where you order a soup and they provide a set number of sides and meats to go along with it. It does cost more to add more meats with each plate. They also have a few noodle soup dishes and other premade bowls. The service was nice in helping me decide on what I wanted to order and to provide recommendations. Since the restaurant was near empty, we were able to order pretty fast. I ordered the collagen chicken soup with rice noodles alongside an order of soup dumplings. To our surprise the soup noodles came out within 10 mins. I thought for hotpot soups this was delightful. Tons of filling and the noodles were well prepared. The highlight of the day was the soup dumplings however. I was surprised that the dumplings came out 10 mins after the noodle soup as it was an appetizer. The pork soup dumplings are something I will be coming back here for. Overall, I had a good experience with kind service will definitely be returning.

"You have to give me a chance to explain," Hiccup rationalizes. "I'm not listening to anything you have to say." "Then I won't speak," Hiccup promises. "Just let us show you." Astrid begrudgingly climbs aboard the night fury for a ride that starts off in roller-coaster-like terror only to transform into something serendipitous and magical, giving her a chance to feel the clouds sift through her fingers, before watching the northern lights dance across the sky in fluorescent greens above those same clouds. "But if we can change your mind," Hiccup reassures himself out loud, before Astrid scoffs, What? Are you going to take everyone up for a magical ride [in a dragon]?" At the Gong Cha located at 8194 Westside Blvd in Fulton, Maryland, you too can take a moment to be transfixed by the platform tables barely two feet above the ground, bordered by walls decorated with lush grass and kaleidoscopically-colored butterflies, the pink unicorn holding a miniature garden of amethyst-hued shrubs or weeds, or the cat, the elephant, or the reindeer, all in vibrant colors, perched and waiting to be seen. Perhaps you are asking, "But what about the bubble teas or the ice teas? My wife ordered an extra large, sparkling, passion fruit tea, which was supposed to have 30% the normal amount of sugar; she also ordered an extra large grapefruit green tea with light ice and zero added sugar; and I ordered an extra large peach green iced tea with plenty of ice and no added sugar. Although we weren't entirely convinced that that one of the three beverages was made exactly to our specific instructions, I am still very eager to return. On the down side, they don't open until 11:00 a.m., so, if you are like us and you are eager to get your shopping done as early as possible, you may have to return here after all of your other errands, rather than being able to start with one of their delicious iced teas, freshly made, in hand.

The staff is accommodating as we are rushing to get here before 10 PM closing time, really by 9:45. The organizer of the Meetup suggested ordering ahead on the app, so they aren't so slammed with 10 (or whatever #) of people 15 minutes before closing. I heeded his advice. They are efficient getting the drinks done in a timely manner. Staff is nice, and they aren't abrupt with kicking us out the second it hits 10 PM (like Starbucks the very second it's closing time, they will practically yell at you to get the heck out of there). At Gong Cha, the staff is polite about it, and we try to still rush to clean up and get out. My girlfriend & I will split the largest size for cost & calorie efficiency. Overall, a delicious boba tea. I will say it's a bit on the expensive side in 2025 even compared with some other places, but it's still a solid choice.
