This is a cute place. I would say i instagrammable! :- ) they have 2 screens where you could order. We ordered the tonkatsu ramen and i ordered the brown sugar boba. The ramen is OK but I think they could add more flavor. The milk tea needs more flavor too. It is so light that I am not really enjoying what Im drinking. The service is great. They give you your order right away. For now, this is a place that it's good to try or you want to hang out with friends but unfortunately, it's not something that I would crave for. read more

I tried the boba for the first time in my smoothie and it was a mistake. lol definitely not my cup of tea. To me it taste like flavorless gummy bears. Weird because how can something be flavorless but have a taste. That's just me. From now on I'll stick with the mango or strawberry bobas. I can't knock this place one bit for that. Service is still outstanding and super friendly. Even when this place gets packed to the door service is great. They have so many drink options but I'm still on team smoothie. I've tried most of the combinations and never had a bad experience except with the plain bobas. The restaurant is always super clean, fresh filtered water is always available for free. I really need to expand my drinking game and try other options. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Fancy new cup full of delicious peach coconut smoothie. - Ramen Near Me - Latham, New York

One of my all-time favorite places. The restaurant decor is so cute, and Taichi has the best ramen around. I haven't eaten anything here that hasn't been delicious and their bubble tea is top-notch. Everyone is always super nice and they let me stay there to study one day when I needed a quiet place before class. I'm currently eating takeout from there and it's so well-packaged with the broth separated from the ingredients that it makes for easy reheating! read more

The food here food was absolutely disgusting , I ordered a pineapple bubble tea it tasted like straight up chemicals, I also ordered popcorn chicken it was very hard to eat it was also purple and red. I left feeling very sick. read more

I had ordered the spicy tonkatsu with pork. My coworker talked it up so I had to try. It was so good and the meat was amazing. The egg was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I could have used a little bit more spice but it wasn't completely off. I had the brown sugar milk tea with boba. The Boba was little chewy, so it could have been cooked a bit more but it was so creamy and good I could have easily overlooked it. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Spicy tonkatsu with pork - Ramen Near Me - Latham, New York

This was an experience in itself. The first time visiting and first time even having bubble tea. Walking in the place is absolutely adorable! Very clean and neat and up to date with placing your order over a computer. Since I wasn't sure what I wanted or what I would like I placed my order at the counter. I guess I should have ordered something outside the box but I didn't this time. I ordered a chicken salad bowl. Dressings in the side of spicy mayo and Thai sweet chili sauce. I must say it was AMAZING! But I wasn't much of a fan of the watermelon smoothie. It is EXTREMLY SWEET. They told me at the counter so I opted in for "less sugar" and it was still beyond sweet. But all in all I def will go back and o think next time I'll try a sushi burrito. read more

This location is not as good as the one in Utica. I ordered brown rice with sesame and was given plain brown rice. It was cold. The tofu was previously frozen and thawed so it had a terrible texture and flavor. read more

This is my go to place for boba and now after trying food, mmm mmm mmm I have to go back sooner than later! My daughter and I arrived shortly after opening for an early-ish lunch. Place was clean and staff were super helpful and friendly. No matter the time of day I've visited for a drink fix it is always clean. The drinks were fresh and tasted great. I had an Infruit Pineapple tea with popping strawberry and mango boba. My kid had a strawberry smoothie. Both were refreshing, made well, and presentation was nice. For food I had a MYO poke bowl with chicken and the kid had a sushi burrito. We were able to pick out exactly what we wanted in our orders and there were a lot of options. Everything tasted super fresh and soooo good. One thing I really liked is the food is served in a take out container. I was able to box up my leftovers without having to ask anyone for anything. Taichi has truly met and exceeded my expectations. read more

*I went here as part of a Yelp Elite Event and received some complimentary items but I also purchased food. My review is based on my experience and is my honest opinion, written as though I'd purchased all Items myself*. First of all this place is adorable! The staff were helpful; I heard them explaining the different tea and food options to another customer. I chose a poké bowl and a matcha milk bubble tea. I've eaten a lot of poké and this is one of the better places I've tried. They had a lot of topping and sauce options and everything tasted fresh. The milk tea had a nice strong matcha flavor. Many of tried don't taste like actual matcha because of either the sweetness level or the quality of matcha (flavoring). This tasted like some freshly ground matcha that I've tried before but with a milky sweetness that gave it balance. Definitely still that earthy matcha coming through and who can resist some nice chewy black pearl boba!? I bought an addition item- the beef rice bowl to have as dinner! It's cooked with a soy/teriyaki sauce and had a nice flavor. It reminded me of some yakitori skewers I've had before. The egg and green onions plus the rice made it a very satisfying meal. Unfortunately, I found the meat very fatty and chewy. The portions were very good sized in my opinion and the prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend trying this spot. I'd like to try the ramen but the poké was so good, it'd be hard not to order that again. I haven't had good poké since I left the DC area a few years ago so I'm super happy Taichi Bubble Tea was so delicious!! read more

I ordered their tonkatsu ramen and a Match red bean milk tea large for pickup. Approximately $20 The ramen was well packaged and I specified to pack the broth separately just in case. I was really disappointed that they forgot my egg. It was a little oily and I would definitely order the spicy next time. It comes with black garlic oil, 3 pieces chasu, menma, and narutomaki and lots of green onion. The three pieces of chase were good but I wish they had grilled them on the flat top a little more and I forgot to tell them no menma which just tastes like old gym socks to me... the serving of noodles was ample and they had a good chew. Definitely needed to reheat the broth at home. I live about 10 mins away and it was lukewarm. My tea didn't have any red bean in it from what I could see. Not sure if ai was supposed to specify that when I ordered online since it was called Match Red bean Milk tea... Would order again for take out with a few tweaks. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Ramen Near Me - Latham, New York

This place really has it all, if you want anything else that burger pizza or other coffee snacks. I am so glad they have something else than Starbucks. My burrito was so fresh. The lettuce was crunchy and really yum. I was thinking I will get a flour wrap, but they had it on sea weed wrap. Great. Keeping me healthy. I got it with brown rice and sesame seeds. Uhum Uhum.... Just yumm and hit the spot, full yet thought I just had something healthy too. read more

If only their ramen was as good as other aspects of the business, I wouldn't think twice about giving them another star. Still, this is hands down my favourite boba spot. The decor is bright and quirky without making me feel uncomfortable, staff seem all in all friendly and efficient, their black tea is always spot on, boba is mostly a-ok albeit completely unflavoured occasionally, and parking is never a problem given its location in a major plaza. Maybe I'll try anothe a bowl and they just might wow me. read more

The ramen is pretty good, but the bubble tea is excellent. I went with the strawberry tea with dragon berry bubbles. Tea wasn't too sweet and full of fruit. Super refreshing. The ramen was good too, but not too fond of the noodles. Broth was pretty solid. It's super cute on the inside. Service was pretty quick, too. The self ordering system was a little confusing. read more

It's so exciting to have a great bubble tea shop in the area! They have a ton of flavors and varieties of drinks as well as poke bowls and ramen. The service is quick and staff friendly. My friend noted that other bubble tea shops in the area are often dairy based but that these bubble teas were dairy free. read more

Friendly staff, clean place, and very cute inside. My ramen bowl was delicious (IMO) not overly salty like other local places. The beef bowl we had wasn't the best, it was more rice & onions than beef. The briskets was marinated more on the sweeter side. However the Rice was cooked perfectly. The boba drinks were good, they had a lot of options and choice of milk which is great. Will definitely be back. read more

I come here very often because of how good everything is. I'm so glad there's finally a boba shop in Latham. The closest one before for me was in Albany. I love this place and I would recommend it to anyone looking to try out boba. The place is a walk in, you go in and order from the cashier, wait a few mins and grab your food/drink. They have a huge selection of drinks to choose from. My personal favorite is mango milk tea with mango boba. You can also eat Ramen, Poke Bowl, Sushi and etc! I personally tried the poke bowl and it's pretty good. I also love the ambiance there. It's full of lights in different areas with designs, logos, fonts. Great to take pictures in front of! read more

We came around lunch and this place was packed with a non stop line of people waiting to order. This is a place where you order and they will call your number when it's ready for pick up. They offer all types of bubble tea, fruit teas, smoothies, poke bowls, poke burritos, ramen, and rice boxes. Interior is cute with plenty of seating, greenery on the walls and some stuffed animals when you walk in. In the middle area has extra utensils, straws, and where you return the trays. Service was relatively quick given how busy they were. The poke bowl portion was on the smaller side, and definitely was lacking with the rice portion - there was more toppings than rice. But the flavors were good. Bubble tea had a bit more milk than other places. I think this is a solid place if you are craving some bubble tea and want a quick bite to eat read more

Ooh, looks like I'm going to get my boba fix every time I run errands at Walmart o: I got the taro Zang Zang; I like that there is a soymilk option because that drink was straight up milk and potato, my lactose intolerant booty would have cried. I think it was done pretty well even if it wasn't something I would normally get; their less sweet option was quite mild and the pricing was reasonable. The ramen was decent! I got the spicy tonkotsu with pork belly, and it came included with half a marinated egg, bamboo shoots, and three pieces of chashu. The egg was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the chashu was pretty soft but not the softest or most amazing I've had. Their bone broth is done exceptionally well for Albany standards though, it was rich and creamy with a good kick! I think Taichi currently is in first place for ramen in the Capital District for me. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Curry chicken rice bowl - Ramen Near Me - Latham, New York

I really appreciate the ability to order with ease, whether it is in store with the employees, using the kiosk, or ordering to go. Their take out containers are sturdy and withheld my impromptu picnic where tables and chairs were no where to be found. The sauces added to my sushi box didn't leak all over the place, and although we needed a container to mix the ramen broth with its non-liquid contents, even that was thoughtfully prepared to withhold the drive to our destination. The ramen really hits the spot and is my go-to on days I need some comfort food. The sushi bowls have been a really fun experience mixing flavors also! Looking forward to trying their beverage offerings soon. read more

This spot is truly delightful. I've been here a few times so far for boba tea and lunch. The sushi burritos are amazing and there are so many options to choose from when it comes to veggies, fish, and also the boba options. There are interesting add ons such as pudding and cheese foam that we don't have at many other local locations, but I've seen in bigger cities. I struggle not to come here every time I'm in Latham because I'm such a big boba fan. The ordering process is a bit strange - you order off a huge tablet and wait for your number to be called. The service is usually pretty fast! I think you can order from the actual humans as well, but I've never tried. I really love this place and will definitely be back! read more

I went to their location in Albany and it was okay but the Latham location was really great, fresh fish and very delicious flavors of boba.

Everything was beautiful, clean, and super Kawaii!! I loved that the music, interior, and setting gave me total Japan vibes. I decided to order their Thai Iced Tea because I'm obsessed with Thai Iced Tea and Mt mind was blown because with the addition of the Boba pearls it really elevated the flavors, so Now I'm obsessed with Thai Iced Tea Boba.For Mt food item I chose the make your own Ramen. I chose a miso base, It was topped with sweet corn, bean sprout, soft soy egg, and scallion. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the soy egg delicious and jammy, The miso sauce was bold and flavorful. As a foodie, I was very happily surprised. In my opinion, they hit it out of the park. They had a huge menu of choices and, yes, vegetarian options as well. I would love to try their poke in the future. Lovely time was had. Their servers were friendly and knowledgeable. And the food didn't take super long to prepare oooh and I chose the pork belly which was delicious. Om Nom Nom!! Don't walk.....Run!! Come hungry too. read more

We ordered takeout after hearing all the hype. The verdict? Good ramen, great bubble tea. The online ordering is a little confusing with it appearing that all you get with the ramen is broth and noodles and one protein with each additional item a dollar or more extra. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and added an egg, seafood cakes and bamboo. I ended up with 2 eggs, lots of seafood cakes, chicken, bamboo, bean sprouts and chives too. My husband and son had the Spicy Miso Ramen with nothing extra. Another son had Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. They still had chives, bean sprouts, an egg and their protein of choice. The portions are very generous with lots of noodles. The noodles are not my favorite seeming more like instant. The broth and ingredients were also pretty good. The drink menu is another story. I had the Taro Zang Zang Milk Drink with almond milk and boba. A visually stunning drink with stripes of thick purple taro swirled into the drink. It was refreshing and delicious. Others had Mango fruit tea with strawberry boba and Honeydew milk boba tea. Both thoroughly delicious. I look forward to trying the special lemon drinks, cheese foam and milk crush drinks. I am also intrigued by the eel rice plate. They are not inexpensive but not much is these days. read more

I came here during their opening week. It was very busy inside, and tables were filled up until 2PM when it started slowing down. They have different teas and smoothies with boba in it. The smoothie with boba was very good. It is unlike any other bubble tea places since I think this location is the only one that offers smoothies. You can mix up to two flavors in this. They also have ramen and poke bowls. The ramen seems to be a little inconsistent as the description did not match what I received, but it was still ok. The poke bowl was small compared to what I'm use to. There was barely any rice in the poke bowl, maybe 1/8 of the box. Other than the lack of rice, and not many toppings, it was overall good. The staff was very friendly and it is an open concept area. I think overall, there are better options in the area for the price/food. read more

I love this place! Absolutely delicious and fresh poke bowls, ramen, sushi burritos and a wide arrange of bubble teas and milk drinks.

My friend and I placed an online pick-up order through their website 3/16. The Website appeared to be having issues, although the payment was taken. My friend called to see if the order went through, and it had not. They said call back in 10 minutes. We decided to go there in person as it was close, and we wanted lunch. Spoke to a young lady at the register who said the system was down and our order was not received, but if it came through, they would cancel it. We proceeded to order again and paid in the restaurant. My initial order was $43.91 charged to my card, but no food. I called my bank, and they advised contacting the restaurant for them to issue a refund, otherwise they would have to cancel my card and send a new one. Anyone who is alive understands the aggravation of updating card information. Over the course of 3 days, I left several voicemails, and even sent an email asking for someone to contact me from the restaurant. As of today, not one person as reached out. The money is still out of my account. Although the food was good it ended up costing me over $70 between the incomplete order and the food we bought when we arrived the same day. This was my first visit/encounter with this business and will be mt last. Poor customer service always leaves a bad taste in my mouth, regardless of how good the food is. I will never eat from here again and won't recommend them to anyone else. This has been a very unpleasant experience. Word to the wise, never order through the website as you will pay way more than the food is worth. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Ramen Near Me - Latham, New York

I like to come here for the fruit teas and the bowls. It all tastes great, however they need to work on providing paying customers more rice at least in the bowl portions. The small scoop of rice is never sufficient. By the time I finish the couple bites there's mostly the toppings just left over. I'm a slim person and don't eat all that much but I don't think it's fully satisfying. If the staffing improved upon that aspect I would probably come more often. The bowls are a light snacky type of meal probably not the best option if you are starving and running errands all day. read more

Ordered 5 drinks with 4 of them with lychee boba and they got all 4 wrong. Instead they gave us popping bubbles. Since we were driving thru on a long road trip we couldn't just turn around and have them replaced. So check your drink before leaving. read more
