The poke is always delicious with good portions and great food quality. The strawberry milk crush is also great (I recommend whole milk with less sugar and strawberry boba) read more

This place is delicious, in a cute part of downtown near other restaurants and shops, we stopped by here for a tea while waiting for a table for lunch nearby. I loved the extensive menu options, and was delighted to see they have my favorite boba tea option, a coconut taro smoothie w black boba. It was delicious exactly as it should be and the boba is fresh, soft and chewy. My friends had the Taichi tea which was also delicious and the lychee smoothie. All so yummy! Will def be back my next time in Chatt! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea Downtown - Boba time! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

At this point, I'm ashamed of my Thai tea addiction cause no matter where I'm at, I have to seek out a Thai tea and give a try. This is a cute little place for boba, bubble tea, and a bite to eat. I didn't try the food and when I looked around at the guest that were already there, they didn't have food either. I ordered a that milk tea (cold) and the child had a mango green tea (cold) for the child who don't like boba, they got a canned coke that was in the display glass. Both drinks were good and refreshing and on par with my previous experience at other boba tea spots. Service was pretty fast and straight to the point. There is limited seating here of course but it serves the purpose if you are enjoying your drink in or taking it to go. Parking on the street is free after 6pm. read more

This place would not be 4 stars in California but since its in Tennessee, Ill make it 4 stars because of the lack of places here that serve bubble tea. I searched up "boba" and this was one of the only 2 places here that served it. The ambiance was actually pretty nice with its wooden interior and cute decor. You place an order at the self serve kiosk which was convenient. I ordered a small/med green milk tea with boba and it came out to $5.90 before tip...talk about LA prices. The tea did not taste like tea at all, just sugar water. But the boba was surprisingly okay because it was sweet and chewy. But tbh i only ended up drinking 30% of my cup and discarded the rest of it. read more

We love tai chi bubble but the service has become really bad resulting in orders that are inconsistent and incorrect. The cashier got really rude with me today when I reordered a drink she forgot to ring up. When we got home I realized the it wasn't just the drink the entire order that was wrong. Previous times employees were arguing with each other or scrolling on their phones. read more

Food - 3.5* The original boba tea was alright. There are't a crazy amount of flavors but maybe some of them would be worth trying. Smoothies are decent too. Service - 2.5* Most employees we could see were on their phones and they weren't very eager when approaching to take the order, or give suggestions. There were also two different menus on the screen and chalkboard. They playfully made the drinks behind the counter and did not seem professional. Ambiance - 3.5* Decoration was nice and the seating booths were fairly private and clean. Issue was the temperature was hotter inside than outside during a Chattanooga July. read more

It was a quaint 1st time visit. I walked over a few blocks from the bank where I had validated parking. I picked a bowl over the burrito because you get more rice. I really liked the brown sushi rice. I learned "sushi rice" has vinegar in it, which I would pick every time. The veggies tasted great. There were plenty of options. I would definitely double the protein next time because 1 was not enough for me. I really liked the tea and would come back again to try other flavors and maybe a burrito . I think it was priced reasonably. I thought the macaroons were good too. They offer to go lids for the bowls. I took my left overs home and had the rice for dinner again. read more

As I set forth on an extremely long road trip- 27 hours, to be exact- this was the perfect refreshment stop after the first 9-10 hours! First off, Taichi is in downtown Chattanooga (which it kind of hints to in the name), which is one of the most quaint and charming areas I've seen! I thought it would be more "big city" downtown type, but it wasn't at all. Maybe I just missed that part. Either way, I absolutely loved it and wished I could've spent more time wandering around. Second, once walking into Taichi and seeing what all they make, I really wished I had been more hungry. I was really in the mood for boba, but their poke bowls looked beyond marvelous. And ramen- when can you go wrong with a good bowl of ramen? This was clearly an authentic place, so the answer is you can't. The boba was pretty good- I got the thai tea which I had never tried before. It was really interesting, and I wouldn't get it again but I think Taichi made it about as good as you can get. My dad got a passionfruit smoothie with tapioca pearls and it packed a tart punch and was gone quickly. A last thing to mention is how adorable the whole place is! Stuffed pandas sitting out everywhere as decorations, can you get any cuter?! This will definitely be on my list when I return to Chattanooga. read more

Good option for bubble tea... We arrived in Chattanooga late afternoon and stopped by TaiChi for some boba drinks. No dining in and everything was takeout option only. Inside we wondered what the sheet on the counter was that guests were completing... these would be normally asked by their servers but during Covid times guests were filling out a form for orders of ramen and poke bowl with plenty of options listed, choice of ingredients, sauces, toppings, flavors, etc....pick your own combination. Anyway, we just came for boba drinks and got them in decent time considering they were also filling online GrubHub orders. We ordered Coconut and Chocolate (w/ lychee) Smoothies. Mine was the chocolate slushee but they ran out of boba. Boo ¯\_('~')_/¯ They suggested lychee. I agreed which I regretted later on because after tasting it, sorry, but I wasn't a fan. I really wanted boba. I should've opted to not have it at all. Anyway, the drinks were delicious. Hubby loved his Coconut drink. We just needed a little sweetness that evening and Taichi was a perfect choice! Looks like a favorite downtown spot for young adults. Street parking. Review #1864 read more

So I'm currently living in Chattanooga as it is I'm a university student at nearby UTC. I had been looking for some very good Boba and Japanese cuisine. Thankfully, I did not have to go far to find that when I found Taichi bubble tea on Broad Street downtown. My sushi burritos and bubble tea were both amazing. Best I could ever ask for if you're looking for good bubble tea and Japanese cuisine in the Chattanooga area, This is the place you need to visit. I will definitely be back whenever possible thanks read more

Service: Meh Some of us are used to the service industry and certain standards. Fine, I can be chill if you want to have a boba drink while you're working, but DUDE...you seriously don't need to pick up your drink and suck it into your face every time a customer was in front of you. The attendant we had needed to have its green slush with boba while taking our order. No hello, no can I take your order, just slurp slurp. Options - good A fair amount of tea/slush/add on's Size/Price - good Located in downtown Chattanooga, walking distance from the Moon Pie General Store. You can get boba, poke, or ramen. This review is SOLELY on the boba order, drinks, and in/out. The same slurp guy, messed up my friends order. And then when he made the wrong drink, he took SO SO LONG to replace it. Now that I think of it, I wonder what was in HIS drink. If he hadn't been such a off putting experience, perhaps the rating could've been higher. Alas, it was okay and tried and done.

My hotel was a few blocks away - an east walk. I was craving some milk tea and saw they also had sushi burritos so stopped by for lunch. I got the original milk tea less sugar. It was good and not too sweet. I didn't specify no boba and was given boba though. I got a sushi burrito with 2 proteins and a bunch of toppings. Devoured it - decently stuffed, ingredients were fresh and the burrito was tasty. I came back a 2nd time (the next day) after a grueling workout b/c I needed food and caffeine. Milk tea order was right this time (I said non boba), but instead of a sushi burrito they gave me a poke bowl. It was fine and still tasted good, but I didn't get my yuzu sauce on the side. I made it work since I got the food to go and didn't check this time before I left. I'd still come back though - food was good! read more

Super super cute, easy to park and walk in, Private wooden booths, and it smells amazing. Be aware, inflation did increase menu prices by a dollar. But still very worth it. Taro is delicious, the lycee jelly is a little tough but very tasty. The ramen was hot, noodles perfectly al dents. The two downsides is: 1. it's only 1/2 of an egg, not a whole egg. An extra 1/2 egg is $1 2. There's two very thin slices of pork, but another small thin slice is $2. It's great for a basic bowl, but expensive if you're looking for something very filling or protein heavy. read more

I tried Taichi in Atlanta and it was horrible. Despite my warning, my friend wanted to check out the one in Chattanooga since she was in the mood for boba. I ordered a hot Lychee Green Tea, while she got Thai Milk Tea. My Lychee Green Tea was delivered cold, and the drink was so diluted that it tasted like lychee-flavored water. However, my friend liked her Thai Milk Tea. read more

Ramen was great! Husband got the shoyu and I got the spicy tonkotsu. We both agreed that the spicy tonkotsu was better. Soup was delicious. Husband got a regular bubble tea for dessert. I didnt think it was great but he enjoyed it. I thought it could use a stronger tea flavor - but that's my personal preference. The restaurant was pleasant. Seating really reminded me of Asia. Customers were steady in the restaurant. read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon around 3PM. Metered street parking right outside, plenty of space. Came to get a bubble tea, got the original Taichi milk tea with pearls and red bean, large, $6.45. Pearls were way too soft, inedible. Milk tea had way too much milk powder, I could taste it at the bottom, and the milk tea was basically water. Barely any tea flavor. Skimped on the red bean. After taking the first sip, I almost wanted to throw it away - it was really terrible, would not recommend. read more

The ingredients in our poke bowls were fresh. I would have given a higher rating if the spicy salmon and tuna were marinated in a spicy Asian chili sauce and not Texas Pete sauce. I'm not sure if they used Texas Pete but the sauce taste like a Buffalo sauce you would use on chicken wings. The chili sauce I ordered on the side was the same sauce they used to marinade the fish. I got a Red bean mochi for dessert instead of the strawberry mochi I ordered. Didn't realize the mistake until I got back to my hotel. read more

Food was fine. I feel sorry for the poor guys in back making the ramen, the ramen was good. Service was not good. If you want repeat business then the first impression of an establishment starts with cashier/ order taker. Cashier was not helpful when taking order, gave very little instructions in an establishment that depends on the customer FILLING out a card for their order, a little instruction about how to fill out the card would go a LONG way to better customer relations and get repeat customers. Absolutely won't come back strictly because of how we were treated upon entering. Spent over $70 read more

Just a minor update from my last review: we ordered delivery this time and the food was fresh and delicious as expected. I ordered the 3 Protein Poke Bowl with raw tuna, raw salmon, and raw spicy tuna with a load of ingredients with sauce on the side and a regular low-sugar no-ice milk tea with tapioca while the missus got a 3 Protein Sushi Burrito with crab meat, shrimp, and masago and a macha milk tea with yogurt boba. Everything was prepared as requested and super fresh. The poke bowl and sushi burrito were extremely filling; the photos don't do the size of the bowl and burrito justice. read more

It was probably the best meal I've had during this 3 day business trip! And it was delivered on time to my hotel room, and as you can imagine- dining alone takes a away from the experience. Still - I enjoyed It tremendously thanks to a very tasteful meal. It was exactly what I needed for this cold evening. Ramen soup was perfect; To Fusion Dish was excellent; and finally - the fusion tea was by far the best tea I have ever had! Truly a right choice for any dinner night out downtown Chattanooga. I am 30 lbs away from a correct weight - thanks to my frequent dinning out (certainly one of the perks of my job), so I certainly know my food. They do great food! Worth trying, that's for sure . read more

Pretty sweet. 4/5 Jasmine Milk tea My brother was happy with it. 5/5 Mango tea It was good. 4/5 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen It was actually really flavorful. It was a bit spicy but not too much. 4/5 Poke bowl It was good. I liked the ingredients they had. read more

Taichi is a great bubble tea option that is located conveniently on Broad Street. They have plenty of options to pick from, and they make their orders incredibly customizable. Their staff was efficient and very helpful in navigating their diverse menu. Coconut Bubble Tea (4/5): Their coconut flavor was delicious. It was refreshing and had a coconut flavor that wasn't overwhelming. It was a little bit watery. I think they use coconut water instead of coconut cream as flavoring. Thai Bubble Tea (5/5): Their classic Thai tea was delicious. I ordered it with less sugar, and it was still very sweet! If you are considering getting Thai tea, it is a safe option that will not disappoint. If you find yourself in downtown Chattanooga in need of some refreshing bubble tea, look no further than Thaichi! read more

This was going to be a five star review because their boba drinks are actually good. The boba dosen't get hard even if you don't drink it the same day. Customer service however, is a huge NO. One star OFF : The cashier that takes the order is actually drinking the boba in front of you, where is the professionalism?! Plus it's a health code violation, Specially now with covid going on. Three stars OFF : There are four employees at the service station we can see them, just talking amongst themselves, our order alone is five drinks plus the two other customers already waiting for their drinks. You would think they would help each other out and make the drinks, but they don't. There's double lines of drinks piled already they are just staring at them! They don't start making any drink until the lady ahead of me complained. I followed after it's so ridiculous so they waited until we complained then they started making the drinks. Where is the sense in that?!! Will never go back to this place. The frustration they give you is not worth the boba drink regardless it's a good one. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea Downtown was really convenient. So much so that it was on the opposite side of our hotel. Bundle in the fact that they were handing out free samples of their taro bubble tea and we were sold for at least a lunch! On a very hot summer day in August, I really couldn't deal with ramen, but I got a poke bowl instead. Ordering is completely up to you with the poke bowl, starting with: 1) Your base (burrito, salad bowl or rice bowl), 2) The type of rice you want (brown, white, sushi brown OR white, and spring mix) 3) The type of ingredients you want (no limit to the amount) 4) The type of sauces you want and the toppings. 5) You round things out with proteins. Pick 1 protein for $9, 2 proteins for $11 and 3 proteins for $12. I ordered a 1 protein bowl ($9) and we also got the bowl of spicy miso ramen ($11.99). What we both loved about the poke bowl was just how fresh all of the ingredients were. Very tasty, very fresh and they didn't stuff the bowl full of rice as filler. They packed it all in, very nice! The ramen, we agreed was the lesser deal of the two. The spicy miso ramen was not spicy at all, but the broth flavor wasn't bad. Still, there seemed to be much more noodles than anything else here. Again, of the two, we both came away much more excited about the poke bowl. The interior of Taichi is much larger than you might think. It folds in on itself, because as you walk down one length of the restaurant passing the food display and booths, there's another tucked away hallway with more booths we weren't expecting. There is street parking here, or nearby lots for parking (pay lots). We walked from the hotel so parking was not an issue for us. Still, it is on a very walkable street in town making it easy to discover. Definitely pleasantly surprised about the flavors here, and while it was the milk tea samples that brought us here on a hot summer day, the bowls made us smile. Very much a fan! read more

I have to say, so far, this place puts out the best ramen (tonkotsu) that I have tried so far. It is a smaller, hole in the wall type place with a friendly staff and colorful boba tea drinks. They don't have much else in the way of drinks if you are expecting something else. But their ramen was surprisingly delicious. I didn't expect the broth to be as well developed and flavorful. Will definitely be back. read more

While visiting Chattanooga, i picked this place for a quick dinner. Perfect location in downtown it was only 10 walk from our hotel. 1- Restaurant Love the wood style, very feng shui style, we put a lot of Little panda around, my boys loved it. 2- Order The owner i guess took our order we tried ** Soyu Ramen with beef ** tomato base ramen with beef ** Small poke bowl with tuna ** smoothie peach / lychee ( as you can mix 2 flavors with no additional cost ) 3- Food Everything was delicious. we have a lot of poke place here around Duluth GA and this place was one of the best i tried so far. The poke bowl was so fresh and i saw the guy made the order, the person is very professional and pay attention to how he put all the elements of the Poke, i kept telling my husband how good was the guy making poke bowl. 4- Price We paid ~50$ which is very affordable for dinner. i highly recomand the place if you are craving a poke / ramen smoothies ! Support your local business !! read more

This has been one of my favorite spots in Chattanooga. The quality of fish has typically always been fresh and the portion sizes have been great. However, the last two times I've been, the quality has started to decline. My order has been wrong and they've switched to go to containers which have lowered the portion sizes. For the price, I may just start ordering sushi from other sushi restaurants.. read more

Good boba, just felt a little pricey! I've had the Taichi original milk tea and the Zang Zang Milk (essentially brown sugar milk tea) and really liked them both! The Zang Zang was over $6 so felt a little expensive. Service was a little lackluster, I felt like I was annoying the cashier by being there but maybe it was just a busy night. Boba itself wasn't bad, not sweet but well-cooked. Overall would recommend! read more
