I love a good play on words for a tea shop and "Tai chi tea" is a fantastic name for a tea shop. The shop offers standard flavors and boba options and then a more premium line of drinks. We had one of each. They offer many standard flavor options like taro, brown sugar and traditional milk tea, and several bubble options ranging from standard tapioca, peal, and fruit flavors. And the premium options are essentially a dessert is a cup! Tai chi tea also offers food options with a full quick service restaurant inside. If you only order tea, the area to wait in the front of the store is on the small side, but you can grab a seat at a table while you wait. read more

I thought the boba tea was good. I ordered chicken fried rice and was not impressed with the dish. I was expecting something like Chinese fried rice. This dish was pretty bland. You can tell from the picture by the color of the chicken. Prices were okay. The place seemed clean and my order came out quickly. I may come back to try other dishes. Maybe chicken fried rice is not their specialty. I do recommend their boba teas! read more

My husband and I have been looking everywhere for delicious, reliable chinese food dishes - the standards, y'know? I'm talkin straight Chicken & Broc, fried rice, lo mein. The hits. We've found this surprisingly hard to find around Stony Brook. We usually have my inlaws bring food in from Commack when we want good Chinese, but we were really hoping to find a local spot that hits the spot. The other night we asked our nanny, who has lived in the neighborhood for a lot longer than us, to suggest a place for great Chinese. To our surprise she suggested Tai Chi. We were like, what? The bubble tea place? But she wasn't kidding, so we gave it a try. And WOW. We weren't disappointed! This is going to be our go-to place for great Chinese food standards. It was hot, delicious, good portion sizes, and the price point was right. Highly recommend for what we ordered, and looking forward to trying other menu items soon. read more

I went there the other night for the first time ever and I ordered a poke bowl to go. It was good! read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I come here often with friends. Lots of fun options! They also have free fortune cookies and good food, however I haven't tried it yet. Boba takes a while to make but is worth it and good to stop by if you're nearby! read more

Quick, convenient and good to go! I stopped in here to grab a bubble tea with some friends. We quickly realized it wasn't a spot to sip and chat a bit. It seems more like a grab and go. There's not much ambiance. We took our beverages to go. Note: they also sell food too, but bubble tea seemed to be the draw. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Not being a bubble tea connoisseur, they happily answered all my questions. I enjoyed my bubble tea. read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Jasmine tea with lychee bubbles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I like the vibe of this place. Homey and never too crowded. Service is also kind. However, drinks are really sweet despite adjusting for decreased sugar. Boba texture is good and they do allow for customizing ice level too. They offer food too. I tried the shrimp and snow peas entree with rice - decent portion for the price. Simple but good. I like that this spot is casual and can be just for drinks/snacks or a meal. They also have a loyalty punch card which is nice for anyone who would return regularly. read more

A solid choice for bubble tea in the area! Ordered a taro and mango bubble tea. It did take a while for my order to complete, but that could just be due to growing pains of a new business. The taro tea was nice! Not sickly sweet with plenty of nutty taro flavor. The boba were pleasantly chewy and weren't coated in sugar. My friend had the mango tea but she claimed that it was watery. So for the mango tea and the wait time, I will dock a star. However, I do think this place has a lot of potential! It looks like there's a lot of food options offered here as well: American Chinese food, ramen, and pokebowls. Service was excellent and friendly. Despite its flaws for now, I think this could grow to be a staple in the Stony Brook area. read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Taro Milk Tea, Mango Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Poke Bowl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

This place offers lots of different Asian dishes. In terms of Poke Bowls ( which is what I get ), I'd give this place a 2. Portion is not that big, fish doesn't feel the most fresh, and sauce is too salty. Other parts of this place I'd give it a 3.5. I've gone 5+ times when friends, but it's pretty mid. Dishes are good but nothing else really stands out to me. read more

Ordered a poke bowl through grub hub, for the size it was good. I do feel the unlimited toppings is the reason why the protein size is rather small ! However the toppings are super unique, I absolutely loved getting tamago on my bowl. the delivery packaging was also really great ! I do recommend this place if you're near by and in the mood :3 read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Poke Bowl with 2 Proteins - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

This is a new place that I somehow stumbled upon and am so happy that I did! I initially ordered through Uber eats and honestly, I think I've been back like 5 times since then haha. They have the best poke bowls ever! They have vegan/vegetarian options which is great! You get a choice of a salad bowl or a rice bowl which you add your choice of protein and unlimited amounts of vegetables. They also have ramen and sushi available, which I haven't tried yet, but it does look amazing. They also have bubble tea, I've tried their taro and coconut flavors and they were amazing! I suggest ordering online and picking up because it can sometimes have a bit of a line. They also have indoor seating available. Service is pretty good and the place looks pretty clean! If you're in the area and looking for good Japanese food, this is the place to go! read more

Flavor is more tea than the flavor you pick. Tasted diluted. Eh, better bubble tea places in the area. read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Chicken and broccoli lunch combo - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

This place has a decent variety on the menu. From a variety of drinks on the menu to ramen, pokebowls, and a huge chinese food menu. First of the fruit teas are good! I love all the fruit they include in it. The bubble tea however isnt that great. The bubbles are meh and the milk tea isnt the best. We've tried a couple stuff from the menu. The ramens are pretty good. The soup isnt overly salty. I ordered and extra egg once and they charged me $1 for only half the egg which was a little disappointing. The cha siew is really good. The pokebowls was just average. I wouldnt order again. On the chinese food menu i ordered the orange chicken which was decent. They actually used real orange peels. The chicken mei fun was really good as well. Full of flavor! read more

Hubby got general tso chicken with pork fried rice. Came with an egg roll. I tasted the rice and it was pretty good. I had a poke bowl with three proteins and I was just turned off by it. The shrimp were kind of undercooked and the ingredients were indiscernible from one another. So far I haven't had gastrointestinal issues but I'm a big eater and didn't come close to finishing my food. Earl gray milk tea with plain boba was good. Lots of people coming in solely for drink orders. Clean establishment, but no towels or hand dryer in the restroom. I think they're trying too hard to cover too many "Asian" bases and not really specializing in any. Not in a hurry to return. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered chocolate zang zang. Didn't like the taste much. However, the menu seems to be interesting with several options of Bubble tea and hence will try one more time and update the review accordingly read more

The Go to spot for bubble tea in New Haven. Easily the nicest and cleanest place you'll find in the area and possibly one of the most unique. Whether it's warm boba you are desiring or some cold Thai tea , the staff will help you answer any questions. Very fast and efficient! read more

We order takeout for work and I am always impressed how healthy, delicious and fresh the food is! Takeout is also neatly packaged with care.

Sushi burrito is excellent. Food is always fresh. Very clean. Staff is friendly. Love it.

I'd say this place has more unique drink options than other bubble tea places around here. The zangzang was not too sweet, which I prefer. I like how they have unlimited toppings for the poke bowl, but wish they gave a larger serving of the protein (spicy tuna is my favorite). read more

Menu had a great selection. Flavor was very diluted. So many better options in the area for bubble tea.

Awesome bubble tea with locations nationally! I'm happy they opened a new location in Stony Brook. Boba was soft and chewy not like other places nearby where it feels old. Great flavor options and very clean interior. read more

Something for everyone. We were very pleased and surprised by the choices available. Would definitely recommend

I have been here twice. The first time I thought it was "ok". The other day I ordered vegetable fried rice. I asked if it had broccoli and eggs, I was told yes. When I got home, the only vegetables in the rice were some peas and mini corn cobs. Not enough to say it had vegetables in it. I think there may have been lettuce, but that's not a "vegetable" worth mentioning. I will say the restaurant looked clean, so I'll give them points for that. read more

Always good food. Fast service accurate order taking. Our regular place. We generally do take out.

Really solid place and near campus too. The staff is nice and patient. They really took the time to make sure our poke bowls were correct. The boba in the teas are soft sweet and supple with some chew. Definitely going to try other dishes there. read more

Tai chi Bubble Tea - Taichi green and thai milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

The food is great. My son ordered the Shoyu Ramen bowl with beef. My daughter the Chicken lo mein and I a poke bowl. All was great, I love how they allow you to add as many mix-ins and toppings as you like - and the choices they give you are great. The only place they are lacking is with the bubble tea (boba). The tea lacks flavor, it's like drinking milk with a tiny splash of tea so small you have to look for it, and the tapioca bubbles are too soft and too few. If they work on improving their bubble tea this place would be perfect. I will be back though- for another poke bowl if nothing else. read more

Bubble tea was flavorful, really like the strawberry black tea with the lychee jelly. Poke bowls were filling and refreshing.

I personally didn't try the tea so I can't say anything about it. The food was kind of bad, the salad bowl had barely any chicken, a lot of the vegetables were unexpectedly raw (mushrooms, broccoli??) My friend's orders were also lackluster. They have a chinese takeout menu which I did not try, but might be better. 3 stars is because they were okay with an unreasonable request from my friend about his drink being 95% full. But I can't recommend the ramen/bowls at all. I think they should work on the quality of the food, because overall the inside of the place looks nice. read more

I had ordered mango lemon tea and shrimp chow mein .the chow mein was delicious they gave you the right amount of shrimp . The bubble tea was Also yummy . I love how clean the place was . Def will try again read more

Delicious and affordable! The cashiers were very sweet. The poke bowl was delicious (Tunado) and a good portion size. The bubble tea was good but I think I forgot to ask for sugar haha that's my fault though(I did forget to ask for sugar). I've been here three times now, delicious! read more

was happy that a bubble tea spot was closer to home but a bit disappointed with the taste of the drinks i ordered. the strawberry lemon had half a lime with skin included and it made the drink awfully bitter than what i was expecting. personally, i just don't like that "just picked from the garden" taste. i even tried to dilute it with ice and water but it was no use. also tried the taro milk tea and it really tastes like powder + milk and no tea at all. i was interested in the zang zang but given my recent experience i don't think i'll be trying it any time soon. packaging is cute tho. read more

Misses the hit. Tried many bubble tea places and this is the first time the jasmine milk tea is "green" in color. Bubbles were Not flavorful.. however I also ordered a passion green tea which definitely made the trip worthwhile. read more

best mango milk tea! i've had a lot of bubble tea in my life & tai chia mango milk tea is by far the best!! read more

We tried the brown sugar and taro zang zang drinks, and the taichi and matcha red bean milk teas and were really happy with the quality of the drinks especially for the price. The dinner combinations are a great deal and come with a lot of pork fried rice and a huge egg roll! Of note, the chow mein is served with deep fried noodle bits, not stir fried noodles that I would usually associate with chow mein. Service is fast, friendly, and super accommodating to specific requests. We will definitely be returning! read more

Best chicken and broccoli I've ever had! Chicken was juicy and fresh, nothing bad to say. Yum!
