Okay, so I'm totally going against the grain here as I found nothing exceptional or overly exciting about this restaurant. My son found it and wanted to give it a try, so we did. The place was totally empty when we walked in and outside of 1 Uber Eats order we were it 4:30 PN. But, it still took 15 minutes for two bowls of ramen and one rice bowl to be ready. Our meals were good but not worth the drive from Marcellus. I've had worse and I've had better bowls of ramen. The stock was good but it was lacking any real depth of flavor and seemed to be singular in tone and lacked any real silky rich mouth feel. Nothing that would warrant a wave off, but nothing significant enough for a book mark. We all like what we like, but for me this was an average experience. read more

This is a nice spot on Genesee St if you're looking for something different than pizza, Phoebe's, or other quicker food options up on the Hill. I'm not a bubble tea fan, so I can't speak to that, but I do quite enjoy their ramen bowls and have had them on multiple occasions. The standout for me is the miso base with chicken. The broth is piping hot, the green onion flavor is awesome, and it's a chock full of ingredients. The interior is unique with big, open windows and some funky booths. My main complaint here is that service tends to be a bit slow. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time and then eating there once you pick it up or just doing take out. Ordering through the counter can take awhile, even if it's quiet in there. Happy to continue to support them! read more

This is a place I have been to many times prior. In the past month, I have bought over 250 dollars worth of meals. I accidentally ordered the wrong drink today. I ordered a "jasmine green milk tea." However, I meant to order a taichi green milk tea. Due to this miscommunication, the worker put that I ordered a "Jasmine milk tea." When I explained the situation, they would not give me the drink I wanted to order. Even after I showed the manager my Uber Eats evidence that I only order the "taichi green milk tea." (X7 orders in past 2.5 weeks, all including "taichi green milk tea" and not "jasmine milk tea." I bought a side seaweed salad, ramen, and boba. With tip my total was 34(pricey!!!) and change. I was told that if I had come up to the register and said I didn't like the flavor, the drink likely would have been replaced to the drink of my choice but since I said the word "jasmine" they would not replace it. In my entire life, I have honestly never encountered a staff/manager that were so unreasonable. I regret including tip. This is a basic non-issue in any other restaurant business establishment. I would recommend Hi Tea, Mr Noodle and Mrs Dumpling, for those looking for boba/ramen spots. Cake bar downtown also has good boba. Surely, there is normal customer service at these restaurants. Very weird experience because it was frustrating but comedic at the same time. I will never be coming back to this location again. read more

I really do love the decor. They have bubble tea, create your own sushi and poke bowl. I got the bubble tea. It was good not as good as back home but it did the trick. There aren't a lot of restaurants and choices around here so I would recommend. Staff were friendly and there was quick service. read more

Tai Chi Bubble Tea - Poke Near Me - Syracuse, New York

This Tai Chi Bubble Tea is a spacious casual eatery hangout with plenty of comfy seats for groups, boardgames, several photo areas including one in the bathroom hall because why not, cute pandas for sale, and the best bites like bubble tea, ramen, customized sushiritos and poke bowls. Friendly service. My only deduction is on account of the bubble tea being powder based and the high rice ratio in the sushirito. But the tapioca was excellent so really 4.5 stars. read more

So I went to Tai Chi Bubble Tea thinking I was about to have a cute little matcha moment... and it was literally the worst bubble tea I've ever had in my life. It tasted like straight water -- no flavor, no sweetness, just nasty brownish-green liquid that looked like sewage runoff. I wish I was exaggerating. We spent $45 total, and my drink was so bad I didn't even touch it after the first sip. I went up to the counter, super polite, and said I wasn't happy with my matcha and asked if they could fix it or swap it for something else. The guy wouldn't even make eye contact and goes, "Not really anything I can do." I said, "You can't do anything? Not even trade it out?" and then the woman jumps in and says, "Matcha at bubble tea places usually tastes like grass," and shrugs. Sorry, but this didn't taste like grass. It tasted like diarrhea water. It looked disgusting, completely separated, watery, and undrinkable. And when I tried to show them, they just stared at me like I was the problem. No apology, no remake, nothing. It was 8pm on a Friday night and the place was empty. Now I know why. If this is how they treat customers, they're lucky anyone walks in at all. Don't waste your time or money here -- unless you like your bubble tea tasting like pond water and being told that's "just how it is." read more

Tai Chi Bubble Tea - sewage colored matcha - Poke Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Good boba tea! I stopped in for a minute to get a refreshing iced boba tea on one of the hot days in Syracuse recently. I got iced black tea with mango flavors and tapioca boba. It was very refreshing. I usually get teas unsweetened with no added sugar or syrup, but I forgot to ask this time. Even though I forgot to ask for it unsweetened, I thought it wasn't overly sweet. I'd recommend! I went in the late afternoon on a Friday and it was not busy. read more

I was in the area and decided to try this restaurant. Something different. For my entree, I ordered and enjoyed the pork bowl with rice, tomatoes and jalapenos. Excellent. The pork had great flavor. Portion in the bowl was large. For my drink Black Tea, brown sugar milk which was fantastic. A little strange with the "boba" tapioca pearls added but they were enjoyable. Service was excellent and friendly. read more

Very good food that was ready very fast. Ordered the spicy miso ramen with pork and it was very nice. My buddy got the rice bowl with pork and that was very good as well. The food was delivered minutes after ordering and staff was very friendly. We chose to eat at the restaurant, which was a good experience, very well lit and clean. My only complaint would be the lack of reusable utensils, which I was a little disappointed in. Overall a great experience though and I would highly recommend after seeing a show at the Syracuse Stage across the street. read more

The food, the service, the pricing are all fantastic! I ordered a rice bowl with spicy tuna and just about every free topping and it was delicious and hearty enough to split over 2 meals! The gentleman behind the counter was so friendly and gave me some extra spicy mayo, which I greatly appreciated as it was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bubble tea- prices are the most reasonable I have seen just about anywhere! read more

One of my go to places when I'm coming home from a long day of school. The inside is very nice and spacious. They have a lot of seating. They also have a corner and large tables to play board games. I think it's a very good hang out spot for students. The service was good, the staff is very friendly. I got the regular tonkotsu ramen (they also have a spicy version). The broth is so flavorful, it's a pork bone broth and has this rich smoky flavor to it. I get it with the pork and it's the perfect pairing, there is other protein options as well. the quality and quantity is very good. It comes with 3 slices of decent size pork pieces, bamboo which is very crunchy and not soft, fish cake, and a egg. The egg is perfect, still very yolky. I would definitely recommend this ramen if you like a more creamy broth. I also get the green passion fruit tea with tapioca. It is a perfect mix, it's not to sweet and very good. The tapioca was chewy, I'm not sure if they cook it in a syrup it doesn't have much sweetness to them. I have try their version of the brown sugar milk tea boba. Unfortunately I was not a big fan, it was just like milk. I wish they add more of the brown sugar in the drink to make it more sweet. Overall the prices were average, it was around $17 for the ramen and around $6 for a small, $7 for a large for the bubble tea (I think the bubble tea is a little to pricy). Other than that, I really enjoy their ramen, mostly on a cold day. I would love to try their other selections. read more

We were headed to a show at Syracuse Stage and only had time to grab something quick. We spotted this place right up the road and decided to run over. The place was very clean and had a great air about it. We quickly ordered a couple of poke bowls and were able to get back to the theater in time for the show. In and out in 15 minutes!! The food was amazing! We both ordered ones that were suggested on the order sheet because that was easiest. All fresh ingredients and very tasty! I would definitely recommend this place and plan on going back to give their ramen a try when I have more time. Delicious and healthy. I'm dieting and this totally fit into my plan. Super excited to have found this place! read more

We enjoyed the boba and the wide selection they have. I heard good things about this place from family and friends so I had to try it. We had gotten it delivered and it came in a timely manner. Only wished we actually went there to experience the place since I've read about how cute the space is. Also looking forward to trying some of the food as well. What we ordered: - Tai Chi Original Milk Tea - Taro Milk Tea - Honeydew Milk Tea - Strawberry Milk Tea - Passionfruit Green Tea read more

So excited I've found a new bubble tea place around here since my fav spot closed due to Covid. This is some of the most comparable boba in the city. I loved my chocolate taro smoothie. Not bad for pricing either. They also offer food. You can build your own rice bowl, salad, or sushi burrito. I opted for a rice bowl and it was delicious! Everything was fresh. The atmosphere is awesome too. Clean, quiet, with a nice modern aesthetic. Great spot! read more

5 stars because the staff are truly patient and helpful. I'm never sure what anything is in boba shops and I wanted a slushie given the heat wave.

Noodles were not overlooked because they have a great takeout container that keeps noodles separate from the soup base. read more

Normally I never have any issues with this company until the other day when they put brown rice in my order after I notified them that I was allergic. I ended up having to go to the hospital that I called back asking to speak with a manager after explain the situation to a regular employee, the young lady I spoke with told me that it's my fault because I should've checked my food prior to eating it. Since then I tried to contact the owner to get some type of compensation (I literally just wanted my order remade) and he told me I'd have to speak with their insurance company. I'm still waiting for the information to get my medical bills paid for due to the negligence of the worker as well as the owner at this point. I would not go here if you have allergies or any food restrictions because it's been made apparent that they do not care nor can they take accountability. read more

I am so happy I found this place!!! I used to love Unique Tea House on Marshall Street but unfortunately they permanently closed. Since then I have yet to find good bubble tea in the area. I had the Taro smoothie and also added the chocolate flavor. I opted for the "less sweet" as sometimes places can go overboard and I don't like it super sweet. Safe to say it was perfection! I also tried the 2 protein rice bowl with tuna and salmon, a bunch of different toppings and their spicy Mayo sauce. It was the perfect portion, decently priced, the fish tasted fresh and the other ingredients were fresh as well. I will definitely be coming here regularly for bubble tea and poke bowls. read more

Great food and tea, if you don't go before closing boba is nice and hot bc it is kept in a croc pot which makes it taste so much fresher. My favorites are the milk teas w boba and the rice box.
