    Been to other Tiger Sugar locations in NY and TX and I always enjoy their drinks so I stopped in to this location in Chinatown. I can confirm the fruit teas that I get taste consistent throughout all the locations I've visited. As a lot of the other reviews say, their drinks aren't too sweet, which I really appreciate! Will continue to stop in to Tiger Sugar if I see one whilst traveling.

    Famous for a reason!!! This is definitely the best boba in Boston. Period hands down. The tapioca balls are small, always the right texture, and covered in brown sugar. All of the drinks are great you really can't go wrong

    #5 Tiger Meets Pudding

    This is terrible, more milk than anything, their quality has gone down, this is the 3rd time this happened to me! And it wasn't even busy, no customers, the guy was just sitting there on his phone! I'm never ordering from them again! Terrible, #embarrassing!

    Tiger meets mochi
    Rovingaile P.

    3.5/5 for their tiger mochi boba drink! Honestly really enjoyed the mochi bits with the boba and I thought that the less sugar less ice combo was a great level of sweetness, but the milk tea had a grainy texture. :(

    Got their signature drink. It's ok. The first few sips were good as I can taste the black sugar flavor. After that it's just very plain milk tea. Nothing special. Also, the drink is cold and the boba is warm. Kind of weird. The boba is soft. Not sure why it was popular. But I may try the mochi one next time.

    Taro Milk Boba Pudding (Special)
    Jenny T.

    Food: The seasonal "Taro Milk Pudding Boba" was SO. GOOD. I am by no means a boba drinker, and this was my first time trying Tiger Sugar, but I do LOVE a good taro milk/taro pudding once in a blue moon when my dangerous sweet tooth kicks in. They only offered large size, and I didn't even complain lol because I finished it all. Such a good lunch (lol). Service: It's a boba shop so they were fast at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance: It's in a small hidden basement Chinatown location so not a lot of waiting space in the store, but it's a grab and go type of place so I'm not complaining. There's also a way you can order directly there on the screen thing. 11/10, would come back when the sweet tooth taro milk/pudding kicks in again. Yum.

    I originally went to the one in LA during COVID. they pre-made all their drinks. Needless to say, it wasn't great. I was a little hesitant to try it again but went to the Chinatown location after dinner and was very happy. Finally found my go to brown sugar boba. Boba this time was chewy. I would say not as chewy and soft and yifang but the overall drink was a perfect balance of sweet. Note, there's no bathrooms available.

    I was worried that my order (#4 tiger meets coffee) was not customizable. But it's not too sweet! Which is the ultimate compliment from an Asian person iykyk. I can taste the coffee, the chocolate, and the boba has a nice brown sugar flavor. Only gripe is the boba's texture is inconsistent- some are perfectly chewy while some were too soggy or hard (this is in the same drink). Still, I would come back to try the different flavors.

    Lychee black tea

    I always think of this spot whenever I crave sugar. The prices aren't that cheap (signature drink is $5.60 plus tax and other drinks cost more) and you cannot change sugar or ice levels. However, I still find myself coming back. The brown sugar syrup here adds so much flavor and no other boba spot is able to achieve the same smoky sweetness. The inside of the shop is quite small since there is just one counter and a little bit of standing room. It can get super crowded on weekend or Friday evenings. Although their menu is not that big, the drinks take some time to prepare so you should expect to wait at least a few minutes for your drinks depending on the crowd. $10 minimum for credit card. Compared to other boba places with a similar price range, I think Tiger Sugar is definitely worth their price. Especially for those who love tapioca pearls, you can guarantee that this spot will always cook their pearls perfectly.

    Given tiger Sugar a try twice but it's just not my preference so I bumped it up to 3 stars due to personal taste. It's honestly quite expensive for boba and I don't like the brown sugar options are not customizable. I feel like the taste is overwhelming and for someone that doesn't like chocolate or coffee much, it kinda taste like it. It taste really heavy and not like other milk tea which are more refreshing.

    ice cream bar

    The newest Tiger Sugar in Boston! I absolutely love their brown sugar milk tea; it's a classic! This location is small but easy to find with the large menu outside. They had fun specials over the summer. My favorite was the Mango Pomelo Sago. It was super refreshing. The Taro Pudding Black Sugar Boba was also good, but I couldn't customize the milk to anything but whole milk. I rather it be a non dairy milk. When I went, they also offered their popcorn and ice cream bars. I wish I could buy the ice cream bars in bulk, they art so good! Overall, I will definitely be returning!

    Place always running out of something anytime of day. Sometime it's medium cups, other times they are out of boba. This last time I was there they only had paper cups which is used for hot drinks. Looked very suspicious not seeing what your drinking through your cup or open lid. They definitely lost my business and will be going next door to TeaDo from now on.

    Classic brown sugar boba
    Alicia Z.

    I'd been wanting to try the iconic brown sugar boba from Tiger Sugar for a long time and finally had the perfect chance to go after grabbing dinner in Boston's Chinatown. The store itself is really tiny and basically a hole in the wall. There's a menu outside in case the store is crowded, though it was really empty both times I stopped by. Service here is quick and you can see the drinks being freshly made while you wait. I've only tried their signature drink, so that's what my review is mainly based on, but the boba is so soft and chewy! It's really cooked to the perfect degree. There are both big and small pearls which I found to be a bit different from most stores that just serve large pearls. The unique flavor of brown sugar really stands out as you sip your drink. As with brown sugar boba from many other stores, this one is just as sweet and you can't customize the drink, so people who don't have as much of a sweet tooth might not like this option as much. There are still many other options such as more fruity drinks. Those are definitely something I'd like to try in the future. Also keep in mind that there is a credit card limit, so if you're only ordering one drink, probably be prepared to bring some cash. Ordering two drinks should be enough to pay with card.

    Very sweet boba tea. I was disappointed that there were no aloe tea options. Good place for sweet milk tea though!

    Just the right kind of sweetness drink. Their bobo was soft and easy to digest. Jelly also had the perfect texture.

    I ordered their signature #1. The boba was great that soft. Unfortunately, they could not change the ice and sweet. The drink was sweet.

    The Chinese name is "Juxiang Mianbao Fang聚香麵包坊". It had the taste of an old-fashioned bakery and…read morewas very cost-effective. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
