Totally tasteless food. Service was fine. Had Ramen. Sticky tables don't know what they are cleaning with. Could not finish awful Ramen at least. Don't know about rest of menu. Beef was sliced lunch meat. Broth probably frozen or out of a can. Maybe I will try poke bowl if there is a next time. read more

Great food. We ordered the sushi burrito and the spicy ramen. Everything was good. Staff could've been more welcoming.

Really like this place! Have tried the poke bowl ( LOVE ) it is so fresh and delicious, the taro bubble tea smoothie (I love it so much I havent been able to convince myself to try any other flavor) and also the ramen (which I didnt honestly care for much). I will stick with the poke bowl. The ramen was not bad but it didnt have hardly any veggies in it which was disappointing. It felt really empty for how much it cost. I was very satisfied with my visit where I got the poke bowl, however. I will note that with the taro smoothie - I get it with no added sweetener. I think it is way too sweet with even the "less sweet"option. So if you are someone who heirs on the side of caution with sweet things, think about that first! read more

Got to go back to TaiChi and try the ramen, finally. It's very tasty. Enjoyed it very much. The noodles taste fresh and the broth is so rich and full of flavor. Definitely would get the ramen again. I also had to try the sushi burrito. I was a bit disappointed. I was excepting a burrito, but really it's just a giant hand-roll. This would be totally awesome if they used a tortilla instead of the nori. There was just too much of the seaweed taste so that I didn't really enjoy it. Think I'll just stick with the poke bowl. Tried a mango boba and it was delicious. I like that they give you the option to have it sweet or not too sweet. Loved it! read more

TaiChi Bubble Tea - Shrimp Ramen and mango green tea Cold Fruit Tea - Ramen Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Not going to lie, this may be a little slanted because it was my first ramen experience. Don't judge, but yes the college style ramen is all I had ever had. I saw a picture of their ramen dish on NoogaToday's instagram and was sold. This had to be my first. I was really excited for my first experience and they made it really easy to build my first bowl. The menu is simple and leads you step by step... either ramen, sushi burrito, poke bowl or salad bowl. Honestly, the ramen just wasn't for me. It had a good flavor and the portions are huge (granted for 2 ramen bowls, it was $28). I like the cleanliness of the place and the vibes it has. The food is fresh and I'm looking forward to trying the poke bowl next. They have a ton of options for toppings and sauces. Overall, it's fresh, clean, good portions, but a little pricey. So maybe this won't be your every day lunch spot, but it's a good option for a change up. read more

Three words...YUM YUM YUM!! This is just the right place for a good ramen and poke bowl spot. One of my best friends invited me to try this place out with him and we loved it! It's super cool because they give you a menu/order sheet and you get to personally customize how you'd like your poke bowl or ramen bowl to be. This is ideal for the picky eater haha! Thaichi's food items looked and tasted very fresh and flavorful. I went back the next day to grab a to go order for dinner because I loved it so much. It is a smaller facility that holds about 6 booths, but they are the perfect little cubby spots to do some work in. There are outlets along the wall, along with the WiFi information. Over all this is a great place with great food! I will continue to go here for some delicious food and fresh bobba tea! read more

Very happy to have found this place. Ramen is served during set hours and I had spicy miso with tofu and it was very tasty. Everything tasted pretty fresh and the spicy level was just right. Service was pleasant and efficient. Everyone took care of business, it wasn't rushed, or impersonal. The cashier was knowledgeable about the products. I would certainly come back again! read more

I have one HUGE problem with this place: why isn't there one in Nashville?! We arrived around noon, so the lunch hour was on. They have a pretty expansive menu, as there are so many possible combinations between their teas (fruit, milk, and hot varieties) and their ramen. They also offer sushi, salad bowls, poke bowls, and sushi burritos (which we will be trying on our next visit). The atmosphere is very nice. They offer very private booths with high wall between the others. There is also a bar with stools that looks out into the plaza. It is self-seating, sort of fast-food style but upscale. The cashier was friendly and took our order, and to our surprise, we did not have to wait long at all for our food. We chose to try the Tonkotsu and Spicy Tonkotsu ramen (both pork), and their Mango Milk Crush Bubble Tea. We were instantly floored with our first slurp of the noodles (yes, we slurp our noodles - that's how it's SUPPOSED to be done!). The broth was delicious and so flavor. Other toppings included scallions, bamboo shoots, a poached egg half (so gooey, but in a good way. The pork belly was definitely the right choice. The savory aspect of it really complimented the ramen so perfectly. We definitely can't wait to come back! This place is quite possibly our favorite restaurant in Chattanooga, and it will be on our "must do" list every time we find ourselves in town. read more

Chattanooga, YOU HAVE ARRIVED. Get out with your bad self, you got a poke/ramen/bubble tea place! Ever since we moved from Nashville in August, we've been missing our local Asian food haunts - lo and behold, TaiChi Bubble Tea opened recently and it's literally 8 minutes from our house. We checked it out tonight for date night and it will definitely be our new go-to place, hands down. Pro tip: they have ordering menus that you fill out for your sushi burrito or poke bowl by the front door, and also next to the cash register. Snag one of those and customize to your hearts content! Our burritos were ridiculously good - great portion size, really fresh ingredients. TONS of options for the bubble tea, both in flavors of teas (milk, fruit, or otherwise) and flavors of boba. Love, love, love that they have size options & also options to make each flavor less sweet and with less ice. We shared a less sweet strawberry milk tea with passion fruit boba - so GOOD. Do it. They also offer ramen during certain hours - Monday-Thursday it's 11:30-2 pm and 5 pm to close, so we just missed it today. We'll return to try ramen, though, because ramen is my jam, folks. Get thee to TaiChi Bubble Tea, Chattanoogans. Go forth and veg out on delicious Asian food! read more

We've been many times as TaiChi Bobba Tea is a favorite for my daughter for their Boba drinks as well as their sushi rolls and boxes or bowls. Initially early on, I was many times disappointed with our to-go orders as the staff often neglected such details as to include an appropriate straw with the boba smoothies or milk drinks . That's a big detail to miss when the customers have to drive but can't drink the drink or are headed to work . A regular straw cannot accommodate the size of the bobas. Additionally, items were often left out of to-go orders which is more than irritating when we live nowhere near the restaurant. The errors were often enough that when the order was placed, I stopped tipping based upon my last visits satisfaction on lacking items.... and it's not like me to to tip. Once, my daughter ordered a large drink and I a medium. The cups however were the same size upon receipt of our sizable order. So I questioned the obvious discrepancy and was told, after receiving the order, that they were out of large cups. Seemingly, that explanation was to fix the issue. Not. Because... However, we were still charged for a large but only received it as a single medium, not even two mediums for the one large. = Issue. Don't charge us for something you don't have and not even offer an explanation at the getgo as we are ordering or even when we are given our 'completed' order. That said, when I had the cashier (who had never mentioned there were no larges available that day) obtain the manager, we were immediately given a gift card more than the cost of the drink and apologies for the delay and lack of notification by staff at either the time the order was placed or as they were prepared to let us walk out without explanation with a medium drink when a large was ordered and paid for. You're right. It's just a minor price difference. However, recall I said that we had a history of multiple erroneous orders past. (I'd put it at 80-90% seriously.) More recently, to their credit, we have dined in a few times as well as placed to-go orders. The boxes, bowls, and sushi rolls are made to order as always. Our orders have been correct without errors, delicious, and the staff pleasant. Seating is sometimes an issue if arriving during peak hours, but I believe their service and attention to detail has improved. Prices seem a bit excessive, but good quality tastes. read more

I was so excited to find this gem!!!! And now I'm gonna be broke all the time when I come here!!! I ordered the miso bowl with pork and fish cakes! I also got a bubble tea of matcha and read bean. We sat in our booth and waited for food to be ready. It was pretty quick. The food was amazing and delicious!!! It was the closest to real Japanese ramen!!! And they have poke bowls and sushi burritos!!!????!!!! Yes! This is my new spot!!! read more

I was so excited to see that we have FINALLY gotten a boba tea place here in Hamilton! I purchased a bowl of vegetarian ramen with tofu and a large iced thai bubble tea. They have a pretty great system : order, get a little buzzer with a number on it, and wait at one of the tables for your buzzer to go off. Once it starts beeping you can go to the second window and get your food. I got my order to go and only waited about 5 minutes for my food. While waiting, I sat at one of their cute wooden booths. I loved looking through pages of art previous customers had made. It was a great way to pass the waiting time without getting bored. They also have a cute bucket of pens at every table so you can make some doodles yourself. When I busted into my thai tea I was a tad thrown off. It was good, but not the authentic thai tea I'm used to having. It had an underlying smoky taste which was strange. As for the ramen, I wasnt a huge fan. The tofu was okay and I liked the addition of corn, but I wasnt a big fan of the broth or noodles. The broth just had a weird, not very flavorful taste. And the noodles just tasted like flour. I'm definitely going to come back and try one of those big sushi things and of course the different boba tea flavors. read more

This may be a 5 star place, but I am not judging their pork broth ramen, their egg, or anything with animal products in it. Being plant based, I went to Taichi to check out the vegetarian ramen and the sushi burrito. So, my point is, the pork broth based ramen may be the best Ramen ever, but I have no opinion. I do normally have ramen opinions (I am from Japan and lived around some of the best noodle houses in SoCal). So first... the place is confusing if this is your first time. Here are some protips. You order at the bar. There may be a line. After your order you get a receipt and a small pager device with a number. If you want to order the sushi bowl, or the sushi burrito, there is a paper menu by the cashier where you check off what you want in your dinner. I think this is a good idea, but if you do not know this, and you get to the cashier, now you are doing this with people in line behind you. :) They have signs asking you to bus your own trays and bowls... but if you have a tray of stuff... I am not sure what I was supposed to do with it. There is a counter with sriracha, soy sauce, chopsticks. There are vegan options. They offered the ramen with a tomato based vegetarian broth, that I was told did not have any animal products in it. It normally comes with an egg, but I asked to not have any egg. My wife ordered the sushi burrito with tofu. cilantro, spinach, white rice, and more. There was some confusion about our order, the order slip did not have the sushi burrito so we had to ask for it to be made. I was not sure what to think about a tomato based ramen. It is odd. But it was tasty. I sort of think it would still work better if made with some blended creaminess (I have seen vegan ramen places using blended sunflower seeds) and perhaps some miso paste. But again, it was pretty good. Noodles were on point. The sushi burrito had great flavor, but it was a little hard to eat, falling apart. Nori does not work as good for a burrito as a flour tortilla. My wife mentioned next time she would order the bowl instead. Place was clean, service was good, and quick (other than the little mix up). read more

Me and 2 coworkers stopped by here for lunch and we were all "newbies" to this. 2 of us ordered a poke bowl and the third got a burrito. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I will say that I was impressed with the concept. We got back to the office and the first thing all of us commented on was how fresh the ingredients were! The lettuce was romaine and not iceberg. The spinach was crisp and not wilted! The fish did not smell "fishy". The burrito looked like a huge sushi roll. It was so cool! All in all, we were all raving about the great taste and how we can't wait to go back again! Just FYI, they do have chicken and tofu options for those that don't want fish. read more

I was ecstatic when i saw some yelpers review of this new ramen and poke bar in CHATTANOOGA. Can i say FINALLY?! I couldn't be more ecstatic. As soon as i saw a review that day, my significant other and i headed there for dinner that same night. I believe we went on a Friday night around 630pm and it was steady traffic inside. As soon as we ordered it got crazy busy so yay for us lol. Decor: I love the name and logo for tai chi. A blend of the milk tea and boba is great. I enjoy that it's an open concept and that you can see them doing everything. Additionally, i love the individual booths. They are wooden and rather spacious. The only thing is that there only a handful of them and then a couple open tables in the back. This place is slightly on the smaller side and quite narrow so i would recommend coming during off hours. Ordering: You order upfront when you come in. They have their menu written out to the right of the counter. They have options of ramen during certain hours, so call ahead like we did to make sure, poke in styles of salad, burrito or a bowl. They also have milk teas, slushes, and smoothies. To order the poke, they have a different method then all the rest. You are given a form and you check what you want in it. Example but i will also attach the ordering form is, rice, protein, mix ins, and toppings. You just check what you want and they make it for ya. It's similar to chipotle or subway but instead of going down the line, you write down your order. The rest of the foods you order like ramen or milk tea, you just tell them. Food: Poke burrito $9.99: We ordered a shrimp and crab burrito to share with a lot of fixings and it was phenomenal. This was my favorite menu item and we've been raving about it since we've had it. We highly recommend you get the fried onion and garlic for toppings bc that added crunch is everything. Their eel and spicy mayo sauce are also on point. 5/5 Tonkotsu ramen $11.99: the Noodles were perfectly cooked and so was the pork, but the broth just wasn't rich enough for me. You also get half of a poached egg on it. I was happy bc my fiancé gave me his. I loved the egg. Overall It was good but wasn't my favorite. 3/5 Tomato ramen $11.99: my fiancé had this and ummm I've never had a ramen like this before. It was a little too sweet for my liking. It's tomato based and had corn in it as well. He chose shrimp for his protein and they were tiny little shrimps but there was an abundance of it. We wouldn't get this again. 2/5 Small Green milk tea $3.50: i was expecting it to be matcha like milk tea but it wasn't. It was tan in color and tasted just like a milk tea with no green tea in it at all. Idk that threw me off but it wasn't bad. I ordered it less sweet and it was just right. The bobas were also perfectly cooked. 3/5 Strawberry mango smoothie $4.75: This was our least favorite item. It tasted very artificial and unfortunately we ordered a large and only took two sips of it. Oh well, we learned. 1/5 Experience: Our overall experience was good. I'm so glad to have a poke ramen bar in CHATTANOOGA. The food was good but not the best I've had but it satisfies my cravings. Pricing is also good so we will most definitely be back to try more items. For everything we ordered we paid $50 with tip. read more

Ive been l for a legit boba place ever since I've moved to Chattanooga and this place just saved my Summer (and future years here.) The choices are a plenty, the boba is sweet and delicious, and it is so close to home. I had the watermelon milk tea with boba and my husband got the mango smoothie with mango stars in it. We kept trading cuz we enjoyed both of them so much. The macarons are also very good. We will definitely be back to try all of the other varieties. Thank you for this blessing! Updating to say I tried a sushi burrito and OH MY GOODNESS it is so good! I got the crab and shrimp with the works and I am ready for a second trip! I am not the biggest sushi fanatic but I do like some good sushi every now and again and this was definitely some good sushi! read more

We chose to eat here ,the booths are adorable. It's a small place but you can't see anyone else in the other booths. We all got Poke bowls (3 of us) Waited about 10 minutes The bowls are so cute you can take it to go if you don't finish it. Delicious I didn't have the pleasure of being here during ramen hours but I'll be back to try it! I also ordered a strawberry fruit tea(greenTea) it's good. It may be because I'm used to tiny bubbles tea that I'm finding the taste with this particular flavor odd like something meant to be smelled instead of drunk. But don't let that stop you from forming your own opinion from tasting it. Overall a good meal I would recommend read more

TaiChi Bubble Tea - Ramen Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Visit Taichi for the first time today...and was pleasantly surprised. Order the tonkotsu ramen and taichi original bobba tea. Delicious!! I usually venture to Atlanta to get ramen or bobba since nothing in town even comes close, so when the wife asked me if I wanted to try taichi I wasn't expecting much (more like not thrilled at all.. Lol). But I was shock from the quality, taste and value. The bobba is equally as good as places I visit before (Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York) and the ramen is par from big cities... That is saying a lot for Chattanooga. So, if u are hankering from some tasty ramen or delicious drinks give this guys a try....cause there is no other place in town... Lol read more

My husband and I ate here for my birthday and loved it. The pork tonkotsu was delicious. They also have amazing bubble tea.

This is a place that I go to often. If you order online they will have the order done within just a few minutes, it really was quite a surprise how quickly they got my order made. I really enjoy their sushi burritos as do all my children. I love that there is brown rice as an option. We also love the lychee smoothies here. The ramen definitely isn't the best in town, but it's acceptable. Their broth is good but the noodles aren't as fresh as I'd prefer. I hope that they will open the restaurant to be done in soon. read more

This place is a joke! Never have I seen a restuarant so stingy, so shady, and pathetic. I felt cheated and robbed. Below is a photo of their sushi burrito (left) compared with a burrito I had elsewhere (right). I can't image they would be generous with anything else on the menu. They charged $10.99 (2 proteins) for that shameful sushi burrito. I can't taste anything except the rice. Not sure what species are dining here and giving it 4-5 stars...you guys need to get out more. read more

TaiChi Bubble Tea - Ramen Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This place has the ultimate value for money! I've had a lot of poke bowls over the years from various places but TaiChi by far has the biggest portion size. The prices are similar if not the same to other poke places so you would really be getting your money's worth here. If you're in Chattanooga, whether you're a native or visiting, I'd highly recommend trying this place out. The food is always fresh and we never have to wait long for it. TaiChi is located in the same shopping center as a Target so parking is ample. I've been here both pre-COVID and during COVID, and the service and quality was consistently good. Pre-COVID, TaiChi put out notebooks for people to color and draw in at each booth which is such a uniquely fun detail. During these times, the indoor seating is closed and they are taking all the appropriate precautions to keep you safe when you pick up your orders. The service and food remains great. TaiChi is a great poke spot in Chattanooga and worth a try for sure! read more

I will suggest this place a million times over and over again, weather you are having a sushi burrito or bowl it's always so fresh and constantly hits the spot. read more

A lot of great options if you like bubble tea! You can also get a number of their items without boba.

I am giving this review for the the beverages ONLY. The restaurant is very supportive of the social distance rules. Although you can't see it, they have a small almost drive-thru window at the register so your contact is minimal. Plan to return and try the sushi burrito! read more

Best ramen in Chatt!! I really enjoy the food here, I've been 3-4 times, it's fantastic and very authentic tasting. The atmosphere of the restaurant is typically very homey and relaxed, even during busy times. Layout wise, it's a really good place to go on a date or settle down to study! My only complaint is this: For my visit this week, I was planning on staying for 3ish hours and during that time, I had one phone meeting planned. I am pretty soft spoken and my conference calls are taken with headphones so I typically do not disturb others. Around 1pm, they decided to start sharpening knives in the front of the store where everyone could hear. Trust me, it wasn't a pretty sound and I wasn't the only customer who noticed. This went on for a full hour and I had to move outside in order to finish my call. Still, I really enjoy this place and will continue to eat their incredible ramen!! read more

Great food, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend the sushi burrito, but poke bowls and ramen were delicious as well.

The service was super sweet!!! But the Bubble Tea was TERRIBLE. If you're used to real bubble tea or even similar to King Fu Tea, this place is not good. The taichi is nothing like black milk tea and the fruit ones taste like strawberry milk! Probably some great food! But not for Bubble Tea! read more
