    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.

    sewage colored matcha

    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."

    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.

    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.

    Spicy tuna brown rice bowl at Tai Chi- get the spicy mayo sauce!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    Visited for the first time the other day - Absolutely gorgeous space, perfect to capture aesthetic photos of some of the most delicious food I've had in Syracuse! I chose the create your own option, specifically with the spicy tuna and crab meat - it was YUMMY! Very fresh ingredients, very good service.

    Make no mistake I read a review of this place and that's what inspired me to go because I saw the purples more me to order. What I didn't expect was that unfortunate the parking around here is terrible but it will not determine from coming back because oh my goodness what is the food amazing and you get your dollars worth for a poke bowl the Thai tea was delicious the Macarons were delicious as well the staff was friendly ready to help and the place was impeccably clean very cute plenty of seating I just parked in the wrong spot because I couldn't find parking but it was worth the risk I'll happily return!

    Pork rice bowl and chicken rice bowl!

    Great place! Fun atmosphere. Lots of good seating. The food was really good, great flavor, and pretty presentation. The staff was friendly.

    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!

    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. They assured me the smoothie was iced based after I asked a million questions. Spicy miso miso ramen was good but could have been more spicy. Noodles were not overlooked because they have a great takeout container that keeps noodles separate from the soup base.

    Inside - plenty of seating.

    Mitsuba Ramen Noodle

    (182 reviews)

    $$

    Cafeteria style ordering and appearance. Got the tonkatsu ramen (it is a ramen place after all) and…read morewas pleased. The noodles had the right amount of bounce to them and the broth was satisfying. Would go again

    Listen here listen here , I can't believe I've been here so many times and never left a review!…read moreMitsuba is hands down my favorite poke spot in the Syracuse area. I always get the salad base and my mom usually goes with the noodles -- and let me tell you, they never miss. This time, I think our bowls got mixed up a little, and mine ended up with some ah tuna. I've always been hesitant to try it since I usually stick to cooked seafood, but it was actually so good! Flavorful, fresh, and the texture was way better than I expected -- honestly, similar to shrimp. If you like shrimp, you'd probably enjoy this too. For toppings, I went with shrimp, mango, crab meat, corn, chili flakes, and a few other things (I even snapped a pic of my order card because I can never remember everything!). The poke bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and customizable, and I love that you can watch them chop everything right in front of you. This visit I also tried the crab rangoons -- they were a little too crunchy for me, and my little one even said the same (and she usually loves rangoons). My mom tried the chicken wings, which were good, but I'll personally be sticking to the poke bowls because they are the star here. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and the quality is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for poke in Syracuse, this is the place. Five stars for the poke bowls, no question! They do sell all type of bubble drinks as well.
