    Taro Taro Milk Tea with Sago 紫芋西米露
    Evelyn L.

    Their taro with sago milk tea is amazing. It's my favorite milk tea in Katy Asian town. It's not your typical taro milk tea and I think that's why I always order it. I haven't bothered trying out their other drinks on the menu but they sound good. 5/5 no complaints.

    I had a great experience here. I went and got the milk tea. It was smooth, creamy, and had a great flavor. I ended up going with 80% sweetness, which I'm glad about because it was the perfect amount of sweetness. It was quiet inside of the store, and there was plenty of room to sit.

    SOO GOOD!! I don't crave boba often but when I do this is the only place I go. So yummy. Amazing people inside always with plenty of seating.

    Fresh Milk Black Tea, 50% sweet with Pearl

    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
    Fiona L.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

So by jellos, it's basically jello. And you can ask for sample before picking a jelly/jello for your drink. Notable samples were; Sesame which had a grainy texture to it but I still liked it. The thai tea jelly was amazing and strong!! The milk tea itself was as expected. The strong point was the jelly/jellos. I really like the furniture since it was all velvet and almost gave that sophisticated feel but it was kind of broken up by all the claw machines and the claw service corner. The ambiance is a weird mismatch. The items in the claw machines looks like knock offs and I had NO desire to even try. Overall, skip the claw machines, try the jelly/jello samples, enjoy the vibes on one side the room and maybe ignore the other side. Free parking out front.

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.
