How have I not been here before?! Seriously. Taichi hits that sweet spot of fast, fresh, and actually satisfying--which is not always easy to find, especially when you want something on the lighter side. The menu is super customizable, which I love--especially if you're plant-based or just trying to keep things on the healthier side. Tons of veggie and vegan options, and nothing feels like an afterthought. I went with a tofu bowl and it was delish--fresh, flavorful, and filling without being heavy. Exactly what you want when it's blazing hot and you need something refreshing but still crave-worthy. Service was great--quick, friendly, and easy. The whole space has a cute, clean aesthetic too, making it a perfect low-key brunch or midday reset spot during those intense desert heat days. Light, refreshing, customizable, and reliable? Say less. I'd definitely go back. read more

Taichi Bubble Tea This review is based on an Uber Eats order, and honestly... if the food tastes this good after delivery, I can only imagine how incredible it is in person. I didn't see the restaurant itself yet, but after this experience, visiting is officially on the to-do. We started with the takoyaki balls, which were an absolute standout. I'm not an expert on how they're made, but I did notice pieces of octopus inside, and wow so good. The sauce on top is an explosion of flavor: rich, savory, slightly sweet, and totally addictive. I could eat these every time and never get bored. Next, we built our own Tachi burrito bowl and this is where Taichi really shines. The customization options are next-level. You can choose white rice, brown rice, no rice, and even a greens base. Then you get three proteins yes, three. Options include tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, spicy salmon, shrimp, tofu, crab meat, and chicken. From there, it's toppings galore: avocado, cucumbers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, mango, masago, seaweed salad, and crunchy add-ons like fried garlic or fried onions. The variety alone deserves applause. And then... the sauces. This is where you can really get creative. Spicy mayo, poke sauce, chili hot sauce, eel sauce, mango sauce, ponzu, Thai sweet chili, Thousand Island, wasabi the list goes on. We went with spicy tuna, salmon, and spicy salmon, and let me tell you fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced. Every bite worked. I don't claim to be a poke or Thai food expert, but whatever choices we made... we absolutely made the right ones. Bottom line: even through delivery, Taichi delivered. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and endless customization. Next time, in person, and probably ordering way too much. read more

Stopped in on a chilly rainy day and the warm ramen was a good pick on that cold day! I got the veggie ramen and especially liked how the egg was prepared. The ramen was not very heavy with vegetables, which was ok for me but some may be expecting more than the few veggies in it. The spicy miso broth was good too. I really didn't like the coconut flavored milk tea. I do NOT recommend it - to me, it tasted watered down and reminded me way too much of coconut scented shampoo than anything I should be drinking! I bet the other drinks are good, that just wasn't! read more

Sadly, this boba tea shop was below my expectations. Starting by walking into the shop, it was quiet and empty. They have the potential as they serve meals too such as ramen and poke bowls. Due to the lack of their media, I think many people are unaware of this spot. I only saw this because I was looking for a store in the same plaza. We did not order meals. But I think their options are great including the build your own bowls/burrito. Their boba was not the best. Ordered couple of milk teas and they were warm. The drinks could have been more enjoyable if it were cooled before serving. There were couple of ice in the cup which melted right away. The tapioca pearls were cooked nicely- maybe could have cooked just a tad bit more. The most negative part was the flavors. Taro had a terrible taste especially right when you drink it. Almost as if it's old. Brown sugar was too sweet. Overbearing to drink. Unfortunately I do not believe we would be visiting again as there are other strong competitors nearby the area that are much better than Taichi's. Good luck to you and hope they're will be a turnaround read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Worst food I've had all year this place shouldn't sell food! - Ramen Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I love that this place offers so many varieties of food AND boba! You have your choice of ramen, poke bowls, poke burritos, salads or rice bowls. I had the rose peach milk tea with boba and the tonkatsu ramen with pork. I would have liked a deeper spoon to have the ramen with instead of a more generic plastic spoon that was only slightly deep. The actual ramen was decent. It came with a lovely soft boiled egg, bok choy, fish cake/naruto, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and roasted pork. The pork had a caramelized crust to each slice and it was beautifully presented. The noodles were cooked a tad longer than I would have preferred but still decently chewy. The rose peach milk tea sugar level is fixed but at the existing level it worked for me. I liked the bits of peach mixed with the rose flavor. The boba was springy and chewy with just a tiny harder bit in the center. If you order a poke item there is a sheet you use to check off which items you want which makes it easier for both the customer and poke chef to make your food. - Some drinks a have fixed sugar level - Plastic forks and spoons - Multiple locations throughout the US, but this is the first one in AZ - Hot and cold tea selections available read more

Taichi Bubble Tea - Friend Dawn and I went here - Ramen Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I stopped in with my kiddos to try their boba, and I was excited to see a specifically lemon section of the menu! I have been big-time craving lemon this winter. I tried one of their lemon green teas with strawberry popping boba and it was delicious! I loved the inclusion of lemon slices in the drink. We were interested in trying out some of the food, but the menu felt unclear and a little overwhelming during the flurry of after school pickup. The main menu above the counter is all drinks, and the food menu seems to be only posted on the exterior window. We came on a rainy winter day, so we did not want to stand outside to examine the food menu. read more

Got the ramen & rose tea, which were good but not amazing. I wish the broth for the ramen was a little bit fattier since it was tonkatsu based, but I did love the egg. The pork was also decent (soft). The rose tea needed a bit stronger of either the tea flavor or the rose flavor (tastes a bit more like sweet milk). It's pretty casual and fast service, though, which can be good if you need something fast. Lots of open seating available as well. Would consider coming back to try the poke. read more

Watery, flavorless milk tea. I have no clue how this place has 4 stars. Just go to Ni Hao down the street and don't waste your money here.

Try this newly open dining/dessert place. They said that they had just opened about a couple of weeks ago. The place is nice and clean, and there is more than enough selection to eat and drink. The food we ordered was tonkatsu & miso ramen and salmon poke bowl. We also ordered drinks. All delicious Happy because we have more choices in town. read more

Loved it here! Tasty bubble tea, fast service, and the food came out in no time. Definitely coming back!

This place is always good. I love their Taro Boba and the food too. The Tonkotsu pork ramen-delicious!!

I'll just start by saying I won't be going back but let me tell you why... Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and I love that! Took a peek at the menu but I knew I already wanted a poke bowl. The young lady at the register told me there were cards behind me to order poke so I obliged. I made my selections, making sure to check every box applicable. I handed her the card, she rang me up, I asked for it to go, I paid and had a seat in the chairs by the window. However, while paying, the other young lady had already started my order and I didn't like the way she was handling it. I don't know their standard as it was my first time there but she was just throwing the ingredients in the box with one hand while reading the card in her other hand. I believe it was gloved but y'all don't have utensils!? You can see from the photo I posted that it was just thrown about. As far as quality, the ingredients could've been a bit fresher. The ponzu sauce was non existent. I had to add soy sauce at home, the shrimp was good but some of the salmon, not so much! read more

Taichi has become my go-to quick-pickup for dinner after work. My niece devours the ramen, making yummy sounds but for me the rice and salad bowls are the best. If you want to be healthy choose brown rice, lots of veggies (YES, you choose exactly what goes into your food!), and a fresh protein, or not. When you order ask how to make your dish gluten-free, vegan, or lower in salt. If you want fewer carbs, choose the salad with your choice of greens and all of your favorite fixings. The ambiance is clean and friendly. Because they actually make you food while you watch, it takes a few minutes, up to five, but it is so worth it. The sides are wonderful, gyozo, squid legs, tempura shrimp, and more. The teas and drinks are good, but they do to a few minutes to prepare. It is not like pouring a soda from a fountain. Taichi never disappoints. read more

The sushi burritos are a must try. A little on the small side, but delicious. The boba selection is impressive. It's quite expensive, but worth it. Service is good considering it's a place you order and pick up at the counter. The ambience is relaxing and casual. I would recommend trying it. read more

I got my order as a delivery order. I had the wrap with tofu as the protein. The selection of toppings you can add is great. Especially the fact they do not charge you extra for avocado or seaweed salad! That alone is easy enough that I will order from them again. The coconut milk with Boba, and less sugar was delicious! read more

Wow! A place with sushi, ramen, AND boba?! Love it. Ramen: Spicy miso and Tonkotsu came with delicious grilled pork. Noodles and soup delicious as well. Sushi: Salmonopoly burrito was tasty even though the rice was a bit hard. You can customize your sushi burritos! Boba: many options here from fruit tea to milk etc. Taichi three brothers and Mango lemon with green tea were pretty tasty. I would definitely come back here. There was plenty of parking and seating inside. And cute boba plushies and panda plushies for sale! You order at the counter and they will call out your number when ready. read more

I came by to try a mango tea. It took 20 minutes to get my tea. The cashier did not apologized for the wait she said she was taking care of two stations . She was annoyed because I asked how much longer was the wait for a drink. There should be a better system in place than making me wait for 20 minutes. The tea was good with a great mango taste. read more

Boba tea, poke bowls, and ramen! Oh my! This combo immediately brought me to Taichi Bubble Tea for their soft grand opening. Everything looked brand new, and the inside looked spacious, with good seating. I didn't plan on dining in this first visit, but I will dine in next time due to the nice interior. I built a classic poke bowl with three proteins: tuna, salmon, and crab meat. I added almost all the toppings available; my favorite topping was the masago (fish egg). So many wonderful flavors were in each bite, and everything tasted fresh. I could eat poke bowls every day! This poke bowl is one of the best I have eaten in Tucson, and I tried almost all of them in town. Both the Thai tea and matcha boba tea were also fantastic. The drinks were not too sweet, and the boba had the right chewiness. Because of the great, convenient central location, I will be eating here a lot in the future. read more

This was a takeout order. They have cool order sheets with all your options spilled out. First ever sushi burrito. I was so happy that they had non-seafood options. I got chicken and bacon. It was delish. Loved that I could choose so many fillings. I got a random mix of things that sounded good and it ended up being a good mix. I also got brown sugar milk tea with yogurt boba. The boba were more sour than I usually like but the tea itself was good. $15 is kinda steep for one lunch but I was able to eat it on 2 separate days so that helped. Will be going back to try some more stuff! read more

Once you reach this plaza, you'll never miss the spot of Taichi Bubble Tea.. Because there's a gigantic boba sculpture in front of the store! The first thing I noticed inside were chic decor, a tiny shelf of merchandise, and lots of promotional posters of their drinks. The most intriguing aspect of this store is, of the fact they are branded as a boba shop, but good as well?! Perfect to pair with your ramen/poke/burrito with your boba. I have tried Dalgona Coffee and their milk teas. Their boba is a little bit more firmer than I would prefer, but it's still good! Tapioca pearls' texture means a lot to me, and harder boba inclined me knock off a star. A tiny bit of firmness that holds its completely soft exterior is my go-to! Now to the food, I ordered tonkotsu ramen; they include menma, scallions, corn, bean sprout, and soft boiled egg. They're generous with their slices of meat, which some places I've visited give you a singular slice; it's a plus for me! Who doesn't move more meat! read more

We went in person and ordered to-go at the restaurant. Upon entering there's a table where you can mark down what you want to order on a vertical menu and then take it to the register. We decided to get a few poke bowls, eel bento, house milk tea and strawberry smoothie. We waited about 15 minutes and then got our food. There's a good amount of seating in the store and it was pretty open for a Saturday early afternoon. Overall a clean and spacious environment. Once we received our order, we brought it back home within 30 minutes and enjoyed our meal. The Poké bowl was fresh and had an abundance of toppings and the eel bento was also very good. The drinks were solid, the strawberry smoothie was on the sweeter end though. read more

After several days of eating thanksgiving leftovers, I was craving a poke bowl. I'm so glad I decided to try this place. I picked the 2 protein poke bowl with spicy salmon and spicy tuna. The fish tasted super fresh, you can load the bowl with unlimited toppings which were all fresh and you can pick out 3 different sauces to go with it. The sauces I picked were the ponzu, yuzu and wasabi on the side which were so good I ended up just throwing them all in and mixing it all together. I really want to try the sushi burrito next time. My boyfriend ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen which was okay, it wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The broth was a little plain, it didn't have the deep bone broth flavor that we're used to. With all the decent ramen shops in town I would skip this. We ordered the lemon strawberry fruit green tea which was super refreshing. We weren't asked what sweetness level we wanted, in the future I'd order it slightly less sweet and it would be perfect for me. It ended up being around $42 for the poke bowl, ramen and 2 fruit teas. I will definitely be back for another poke bowl and tea. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were fantastic. The crew made great recommendations and were very friendly. The portion size was somewhat larger than expected, but just right! I appreciated how many toppings and ingredient options there were and how many were included with the bowl. I will definitely be returning! read more
