    Fresh Milk Black Tea, 50% sweet with Pearl
    Steph D.

    Hard seats! I guess they don't want you to over-stay your welcome. But there is a small semi-private area that is good for groups or studying. The Tea Top menu is very broad. There are hundreds of customized drink options. If you can't decide, or are new to 'boba shoppes', they have a Tea Top Top 10 Drinks poster. Their service is always quick and friendly. Tea is what they do! This not a bakery or ramen place that also serves tea. That being said -- they do not offer any snacks or pastries. Convenient ordering and reward points available in the Tea Top app.

    The drinks are always so refreshing! From the fruit teas with lots of flavor to bold coffee drinks, we are never disappointed. The kids love the fruit slushies & boba! Baristas are always so friendly and quickly make the drinks. Plenty of indoor seating and even a space you can close off for a meeting.

    Oolong Green Tea + cheese foam + taro balls
    Katrina M.

    Of the seemingly hundreds of boba spots in Katy Asia Town, this one is my favorite! My usual order is the Wintermelon Alpine Green Tea with cheese foam and boba. The sweetness of the drink is consistently perfect at half percentage, and the boba usually always has the perfect chew without being too soft. And the main reason I pick Tea Top over its hundreds of boba neighbors is the fact that they have absolutely perfected their cheese foam recipe. It has the thick texture and slight salty-savoriness that I love adding to sweet drinks, so if you're into that kind of thing, you're going to love this. The service here is also always great. Last night I opted to try their Oolong Tea with cheese foam and taro balls because I was craving the same order I'd had from another boba shop out of town. It's not listed on the menu, but this is the only boba place that offers taro balls here (as far as I know - let me know if you know otherwise!). I walked in 30 minutes to close and asked if they had taro balls, and they were about to finish brewing up a fresh batch. The fact that they were still brewing up fresh ingredients so close to the end of the night - on a MONDAY - just felt so above and beyond. It's a bit of a drive for me to get here, but for all these reasons, I'll happily make the trip. - Drinks: 5/5 - Toppings: 4.5/5 - Service: 5/5

    Taro Milk Tea, Passion Fruit Green Tea, Milk Tea with Grass Jelly

    I really enjoyed the bubble tea here! My family and I ordered Passion Fruit Green Tea, Taro Milk Tea and Milk Tea with Grass Jelly. They were all very good! I like that they make the milk teas with non dairy, lactose free creamer powder as it tasted very similar to the Vitasoy soy milk I had as a kid! Also really liked the big globs of grass jelly that was in the drink versus other places which has small lego size grass jMy husband also liked that they use real taro blended into chunks instead of the powder. Overall the staff were very friendly and informative! The vibe in there was very industrial like with cute window seating perfect for couples or hanging out with your bestie!

    Really fast and very very clean. The stuff is pretty friendly. Boba is really good. Passion fruit green tea is good too.

    Sitting at a different table today and I noticed that they have the best charging outlet by far from all boba shops I've been to. Just like coworking Spaces at Lifetime Work! Except....better cuz they've got the off the menu Rose Milk tea that I get at 30% sugar (so I can drink multiples in one sitting!). I love agar boba it's super chewy and taste great. Rose suggested the Rose milk tea a few weeks ago and I'm totally addicted to it! Will be burning off all the sugar on the pickleball courts though so I can drink more of these delicious liquidy goodness!

    Passion Fruit Green Tea with Cheese Foam
    Melodi D.

    Had a good experience at Tea Top! The menu has a large variety of drinks and everything is very customizable. The person taking my order was super helpful in helping me figure out what to order. I eventually got the Passionfruit Green Tea with Cheese Foam. I thought it was good, but not spectacular. I think the cheese foam was a little too cheesy; I may have preferred the milk foam. We also asked for a water cup at one point and they really went above and beyond--putting water in a boba cup and sealing it with a lid! Thought it was worth a mention. :)

    Quick service, delicious boba, excellent ambiance with plenty of seating. Pricing is not too bad. One of the best bubble tea spot in Katy Asian Town. Avoid the Fresh Milk Trifecta if you are not a sweets person.

    Came here with a friend, and I ordered the strawberry matcha latte, which was a bit tooooo sweet. Next time, I'd probably opt for a lower sugar level. After maybe 10 or so minutes passed, one of the employees came to our table and said there was a problem with the milk they used in my drink so they took it from me and said they'd make me a new one... thought that was kinda sus, but I'm not having any issues w my digestive system, so we good. I signed up for their rewards program and got 10% off on the spot which was nice! Employees are kind, and overall vibes of the place are good. Parking is gonna be a hit or miss depending on when you go.

    The place is nice and clean. The drinks at tea top are consistently good and I appreciate that they have hot options as well! And even the hot drinks are the perfect temperature, not too much that it burned when I got it. The sago was mildly overcooked but otherwise good. The service was great though. They gave us the wrong drink but gave us a tea to make it up.

    Great place to get boba! I love that they have a self serve ordering system. Their menu was huge! We got the matcha strawberry and it was pretty good! The strawberry jam was one of the better ones I've had. The matcha was a bit light/watered down than I would liked but overall good drink! Lovely seating area too!

    Fresh taro balls!
    Thao N.

    1. Made in-house taro balls 2. Foam top: choose regular milk or cheese How Tea Top differs from other boba shops. The taro balls/boba has a extra chewy dense texture that I really enjoyed. The foam top! I've always only seen cheese foam but here they also offer non-cheese flavor. The milk/regular foam has a very strong milk flavor but its not tangy like your typical cheese foam. I got the winter melon alpine green tea. I like how the green tea cuts the sweetness of wintermelon. Katy Asian Town has at least 6 boba shops in the plaza. It's hard to choose which one.

Comfortable cushioned chairs/bench, it's actually not just for looks. Good amount of seating area, though, they could have added maybe 1 more. I got a Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle and House Blend Milk Tea with Yin-Yang Jelly. Though, the house blend milk tea was delicious, I specifically asked multiple of times if there's any tree-nuts, such as almond milk, because someone in my group has a severe tree-nut allergy. I have mentioned it many times, including what their egg waffle mix has (such as almond flours and what not). I was told the waffle was good to go but nothing about their yin-yang jelly. The young server was friendly but I don't think he realized the importance of someone not consuming tree-nuts if they have a tree-nut allergy. Luckily, we double checked with someone else after I questioned the drink and luckily the person who has a tree-nut allergy didn't try any of the drink. So, if you or someone in your group has a tree-nut allergy... possibly avoid this place or get a drink somewhere else. There's a big chance of cross-contamination even if the person who took your order knows the severity of it. Overall, it's a good bubble-tea IF AND ONLY IF THERE'S NO ONE IN YOUR GROUP WITH A TREE-NUT ALLERGY. Tea, at 20% sugar level was sweet enough and delicious without artificial taste. I can actually taste the tea and milk. Their Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle is cute in 3 shapes of cranes. The wing parts are nice and crispy but the center of the body is dry. There's no bounce to it. It's pretty thick and heavy. I would skip their cranes and just get drinks. Again, please beware if you or anyone has a tree-nut allergy.

I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!

The lack of an English sign didn't help, as I figured Yan Kei was all about BBQ (#1) and Yan Tea was something like a cafe, when in fact it was the same place the entire time. Still, the rarity that is Cantonese siu mei in Houston, let alone Katy, makes this place still worth a look. It's always great to see the daily selection of meats hanging near the window to entice folks. They have roast duck, soya chicken, BBQ pork, and a very crispy siu yuk pork belly. I think their 3 meat combo over rice (三寶飯) is the way to go. It's the most ideal lunch option and could also make for a fairly hearty early dinner meal. I wouldn't go too late though, since most of their meats are at their optimal freshness during the early morning / afternoon. It's not that spacious, but it's enough for small'ish groups to dine. Takeout is pretty common here, often with some kind of bubble tea. I'm not particularly fond of the latter, but then again I've never seen a specialty Cantonese BBQ place and bubble tea do either particularly well. Another area that they're solid in is the congee selection. The pork and preserved egg are enjoyable despite the pricetag ($9) and the fish slice congee also gets a thumbs up. Prices are adequate for Katy and the service is good overall. It's worth noting the parking can be a challenge during peak hours and especially on weekends, since this is one of the busiest corners in all of Katy Asian Town. _____________ (#1) Not to be confused with Chung Wang BBQ on the same block.

I have a ton of younger cousins who are always working with an allowance budget, so finding somewhere that can actually appease their appetite without breaking the bank is not easy--especially if you're feeding 10+ kids. MeetFresh's $15 giant desserts are truly the king of both budget and flavor. I cannot stress enough how much of a hit this place was the first time I recommended it to my cousins. Whether I'm with them or not, they always make a point to stop by whenever they drive into Houston from College Station. For that reason alone, MeetFresh holds a special place in my heart. It has given my large family a fun, worthwhile experience time and time again. On my most recent visit, we had a friend flying in from Chicago, so we brought him and his girlfriend here. We collectively ordered the Taro Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, and wow--if you're a fan of Chinese herbal flavors, this is the dessert for you. I usually stick with the mango or strawberry fruit dishes, but this one reminded me of Sâm Bổ Lượng, a Vietnamese chè/sweet soup. The flavors were earthy, comforting, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. I genuinely could not stop eating it until the very end, when all that was left was a puddle of melted ice and mixed-up dessert "schlop" -- LOL.
