I can only comment on the ramen and atmosphere, but we didn't order other food or drinks. Service was rough. We stood at the counter for a couple of minutes as 3 separate employees ignored us. As the one finished up making a hand roll he then moves to the side and pulled out his phone at which point I asked if I could order. I'm not sure he was fully listening because one of the two orders had to be corrected once it populated on the screen incorrectly. We had two bowls of ramen, neither memorable. No real reason to go back unless we were to try something different. Pork in ramen is supposed to be a tender cut and this wasn't... it was pretty dry. There was plenty of shrimp in my wife's bowl, however. The tonkatsu broth was the highlight, but that isn't saying much. Nice that they have a kids play spot and a hand wash station in the back. Not enough to draw me back, however. read more

I really wanted to try ramen to see what the big fuss was about! First time was a lil let Down, nothing spectacular...I wanted it to be since I was urged to try it. If you like pho you'll love the ramen it's like it....WRONG WRONG AND WRONG!!!? I love pho... the noodles were bland along with the egg and the meat in it....just taste the little spice it had! Our booth table wasn't that clean....! This place just opened up and I hope it gets better, but what I did like was the bubble tea...delicious!!! The staff was very friendly too! I will give ramen another try one day soon. read more

Super pumped that. Columbia has been blessing us with nothing but good establishments lately. Growing up here I had to eat cheeburger cheeburger, green turtle, and mission bbq. Now back to the review let's start with the boba itself, best texture boba I've had in the dmv and my sushi burrito was the perfect combination with my drink! Hope they add more options, like different noodles for the ramen because I do prefer curly, but again I will be a regular here! Thanks again to the wonderful staff and make sure y'all check TaiChi out. Pictures below! read more

This place is in the same shopping center with Old Navy and THB Bagelry. Menu items include poke bowls/burrito/salad, ramen noodles, bubble teas and mochi donuts. I ordered the Poke Amazing rice bowl, mochi donuts and Dolgana coffee with bubbles. Everything was delicious but I would've preferred little less sauce in my poke bowl. Inside of the restaurant was nice and clean. My daughter really enjoyed the corner where you can draw. I'll definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

I've been counting down the days for this location to open so I could try it! I finally got to visit with a friend for lunch and we had a great time. We each ordered a poke bowl and a drink. You can write down your custom poke bowl/burrito order on the provided sheets or choose from the listed menu options for ramen, sushi, or poke bowls. The staff was helpful and friendly. I made mine custom and my friend ordered off the menu and we both enjoyed our food. I had mine with salmon and shrimp, both of which were fresh. We also ordered two drinks, both delicious. Personally I thought the drink was better than the food. There is only a $1 difference between the small and large sizes for drinks but the large is almost double the size of the small. Food was served in cardboard containers (eco-friendly and doubles as a to-go box!) and utensils including chopsticks are disposable. We sat in a booth after getting our food and played Jenga- one of the board games available for customers to play while they eat. I think the actual poke bowl was a little underwhelming compared to everything else, but overall I had a good time and I would still recommend it. read more

Have visited here twice and both times the food has been absolutely delicious. The ambiance is great inside and the menu seems to have a great selection. I definitely recommend the Hawaiian Poke Bowl. Will certainly be returning to try more food and bubble tea! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Hawaiian Bomb Poke Bowl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised! The ramen here is quite good. The first visit, I got Tonkotsu Ramen and my partner got the Famous Chicken Bowl (is it still considered poke if it's chicken?) and both were pretty good - I actually liked his dish more. The second time around, I got the Spicy Tonkotsu and my partner got the Spicy Miso. The second visit was even better than the first. The spice was definitely spicing! I loved the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. My only complaint is the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Always hits the spot!! The Tonkatsu broth is amazing and the roast pork is so tender. The portions are enough for 2 meals. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Shoyu veggie and tofu ramen - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Yesterday I ordered 2 bubble teas ...The girl before me paid with cash but somehow I ended up being charged for her order. I paid and they said it didn't go through and said for me to swipe again but it did go through! I mentioned it to them and they denied it. I had a feeling about it so I saved my receipt. So I go home and check and yes there are 2 transactions on my card. Have to now file a cc dispute. Plus I asked for one without milk and they put milk in it anyway read more

This is a very cute spot to hang out with friends better yet a good place to read a book or study. Customer service and quality of food is definitely worth the visit. Parking shouldn't be an issue since there's a big lot. They are kid friendly as well. :) read more

I'm not much of A Poke bowl person but their Ramen is good. Once in a while the pork belly can be too fatty but the broth and ramen is very good. We have tried several of the bubble teas and they are very good too. I like being able to ask to half or 30% sweet so the sweetness is not too overwhelming. I'm really happy there is a ramen place now really close by for a quick dinner or even lunch! read more

9/7/22 I never knew this place was here till i was passing by to get tutti frutti, so i decide to go and see what they have! they have good food choices, but i ordered a spicy tonkatsu with pork belly to go (they only charge you for your meat of choice). You can schooler to add extra topping on your ramen, but it already comes with stuff depending on what broth you order. The spicy tonkatsu broth is very rich and it was actually spicy i wasn't really expecting it to hit the back of my throat so hard. The decor inside is really cute. There's also floor seating w cushions for the kids area. When i came home to eat my food the broth filled to the top which i was happy about ! read more

The ramen was gross. The atmosphere was sad. Service was slow. Do not recommend coming here.

I like the poke bowls a lot however the poke burritos fall apart easily and are extremely small portion. After trying a few more milk teas, I recommend the Rose Milk Tea! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I love that Taichi opened a location in Columbia. I am familiar with the Annapolis location and absolutely love it. I literally counted down the days until it opened - couldn't. wait. I tried out the new location today, during their soft launch. Taichi serves all of the variations of bubble tea alongside food like ramen, poke bowls and burritos. Today I ordered the Thai iced tea with bubbles and made my own custom poke rice bowl. You can either make your own or go with one of their signature dishes. You fill out a custom order form at the front if you want to go rogue, otherwise just place your order at the counter. Taichi is pricey - food will run you around $13-17 and the bubble teas can cost about $4-$7 depending on what you get. So one person's drink and food? Easily $20-25 for ONE PERSON. My order came out quick, and the cute storefront is a pleasant place to wait (love the decor). My order wasn't super accurate, I got a few more toppings on my bowl than asked for (but things are new and they are still learning!). The food was very very tasty, but was kind of lacking in the portion department. They give you one scoop of rice for your rice bowl, any more will cost you extra. Because of that the topping to rice ratio can get pretty unbalanced. It was delicious though, and I devoured it too quickly to even take a photo. I would definitely order from here every week if their portions were a little bigger! Right now, the price tag doesn't really match what you get. The bubble tea was delicious too. Tapioca pearls were just the right amount of chewy and the Thai tea tasted great. Definitely good boba!! All in all, I can't wait to see how things go post-soft launch. Price was kind of steep, portions left me wanting more, but I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Everything at Taichi is excellent. The service is friendly, the ramen is wonderful, the sushi is very good quality and the tea is the best around the entire Baltimore area. We go here 2-3 times a week. The decor is very fun too! read more

Took my daughter here for boba before a shopping trip and she loved it. The atmosphere is cute and clean. The staff was friendly and they even have an area where your child can go color and relax with comfy pillows. She loved to look at all the cute boba plushies while we waited. Very kid friendly! read more

First timer, stop to grab an drink, had brown sugar milk tea, meh, I had way better ones, my drink was missing something, probably brown sugar coating... and taste more milky. My review is base on my one drink so.. take it as you will. Probably wouldn't come here again. Nice service though, nice people. read more

I have been here a few times since I started working in the area and I absolutely love it. The cashier is always friendly and understanding when I don't know what I want. I have ordered the Spicy Miso ramen twice along with a Passion fruit Tea. They are always delicious. Now they are a little pricey and there are no bells and whistles to it. I definitely recommend them read more

Discovered this place with my boyfriend. They offer a lot of items besides Bubble Tea. They offer Poke bowls, ramen, and mochi donuts! We managed to try their teas which was good. Next time, we will try ramen. The service is quick and the place is super cute! It's a great place to catch up with someone, talk, and maybe do some school work too. read more

Came by for weekday lunch. The food is solid. Had the ocean lovers and a spicy tonkatsu ramen. Sushi roll a bit on the small side, but that makes sampling more food possible. The ramen is tasty and probably the more substantial of the two. The dining area inviting and bathrooms are clean. Would come back again! read more

Ramen was ok but the toppings were cold like they weren't fresh. We also got a green bubble tea that tasted chemically. Not terrible but overpriced. read more

The food is great and the service is fast. The professionalism okay. Watching the adults (maybe owner and manager) standing there talking while 2 younger (teens) giggle coming out of the back with one saying "you're such a b!tc#" and the other reply "go take the order" while giggling then when giving you the order then run giggling back to the other girl asking if it was going to be held against her. Not the type of atmosphere you want to see. I'll go back, only cause the food is good. read more

Loved the poke and milk tea with great boba and definitely not too sweet! Came back a second time and glad they're open a little bit later than some places in the evening. Will definitely be back :) read more

I have only tried the rice bowls and sushi burritos (so far!). I typically make my own to order (with delicious salmon). I also have peach green tea bubble tea. The food and drinks are delicious. The weekend, the owner also brings a selection of Mochi donuts from Donutchew. Also delicious! The staff is friendly. The decoration is super cute. They also carry games to play. read more

Got the chicken. It is hard, white, unseasoned. Clearly from a packet. Asked for milk tea half sweet, literally got water. Both times I've been here, horrible food. They don't answer the phone either read more

do not get the fruit tea. it legitimately tastes like poo. this is your warning. it's also extremely sweet for whatever reason.

Fraud in pricing. They advertise prices on their menu and on the window but when you walk in, what they're charging you is more. When I pointed it out that that wasn't what they were advertising, they refused to honor the price that advertised. read more

Fresh quick sushi burrito and yummy bubble tea. Service was quick and easy. Had the spicy salmon tuna and spicy tuna, tasted great. Bubbles were perfect chewiness in the tea. Liked the nice atmosphere. read more

I like Taichi Annapolis so when they open in Columbia, we were so happy, but the quality has been going down, the ramen meat more fatty & lesser cut of meat, the soup must have some msg to cover the lack of, the bubble tea quality is going down as well, the tapioca bubbles are clumped together, the poke burritos has less poke in their burritos. I hope this business turns around & not short cut everything because people would be turned off with this quality of food. read more

Love Taichi. I think the bubble tea is delicious and better priced that some places. My favorite is the poke salad bow. The portions are large and the food is fresh and delicious. There is also a little section for kids to play and color which is awesome! read more

Excited to see this place open in this location. Nice place with cute decor. Ordered poke bowls, ramen, and smoothies. Liked that you could customize your bowl on order forms or order off their preselected menu. Portions were smaller compared to other poke places, but lots of topping options and food was good. Extra rice costed more. Ramen was decent. Kids enjoyed their smoothies with jellies. Will plan on returning. read more
