Wanted some fried chicken for Christmas. My husband and I knew that Japanese people normally celebrate by eating KFC and Christmas Cake... so we decided to go out and look for some fried chicken. This was on my radar for awhile as people said their Korean fried chicken was really good. We met up with a friend and nabbed a table. Ordered at the kiosk for 20pc fried chicken (boneless) Soy Garlic flavor and some French fries. I order cheese sauce on the side for the fries. It was roughly about 15-20min wait for the order as they make it fresh to order. On Christmas day, it was busy. Many people came in for their boba drinks. We were luckily to nab the last table as there was a large group of folks that walked in shortly after we ordered. We also saw many pickup orders as delivery folks came in. Overall, the chicken was tender and hot. Very hot. We had the options of folks and plastic gloves which we glady appreciate. Most of the sauce were at the bottom so it became very strong (in taste) when you get to the last few pieces. read more

Got a lychee milk tea that came with yogurt bubbles and it wasn't that good, would recommend trying something else. Kinda surprised because i really liked the flushing shop... there's a restroom in the back which is nice. Seating area is good too but the seats in the front are so low! read more

I'm conflicted in my review. I have tried BBQ Chicken in the K-Town location in Manhattan and had a hankering for chicken today and had for a while. I live close by so it was now or never that I drop by to see if this is as good as my prior visits to the original in KTown. I was in the area for an appointment. I ordered the original golden olive bb q chicken meal, just a short 15 minute wait. Staff were efficient in taking orders and explaining the menu. I also ordered Tasocaa's Durian/Mango slush. Got my order and left. My slush was delicious. My meal was underwhelming. Not sure what but it was not what I remembered. The location is quiet, comfortable and cute with a small amount of available seating. As for return visit, conflicted as I'm not sure if today was an off day. But if you're looking for good boba/milk teas/slush, the main business Tasocaa is a good choice. read more

I was immediately turned off by the lack of customer service at this establishment upon entrance. As we walked up to the counter to grab a menu, I said hi to the employees and no one looked up or bothered to greet us. I tried to brush it off and walked towards the tables to find a seat. The place was empty, but the first two tables were dirty and no one bothered cleaning it. We walked towards the big table in the back as it was the cleanest one and sat down. One of the employees stepped outside and started smoking on the top of the stairs right outside the door. Naturally, the smell of the cigarette came through the gap below the door and filled the store. My friend and I hate the smell of cigarettes so we found it absolutely nauseating. At that point, we no longer wanted to stay at the store so we just ordered our drinks to go. We both ordered the osmanthus oolong tea with asian pear thanks to a recommendation from a friend and luckily it made up for half of our experience at the store. It was fragrant, tea flavor was present, and it was not overly sweet. All in all, I don't know if I would return as there are plenty of similar options in the area. read more

Yummy bubble tea as usual. What makes this location some is the huge seating area that is super comfortable and spacious. Ib Christmas time, they decorate even more and it's such a cute cozy vibe. read more

Everything on their menu is delicious. That's not an exaggeration. Every time I go back, I try something new and I have literally never been disappointed. I even enjoyed their matcha, and I'm not much of a matcha person. I usually go to their Brooklyn location but regardless, easily the best bubble teas I've ever had. Their snacks are pretty good as well. read more

Good for 8th avenue Korean fried chicken. 8th avenue is known as Brooklyn's Chinatown so most of the food is Chinese food. I think it's great that they saw the opportunity to start a Korean fried chicken place in Chinatown, especially when Korean food and culture has been expanding rapidly. This place mostly sells Korean fried chicken as it's one of two shops in Brooklyn 8th avenue (that I know of) that sells Korean fried chicken. They have indoor seating, no outdoor seating. The restaurant next door kicked us out when we sat outside in front of this restaurant saying that it was their space, even though they built it in front of this restaurants and on a parking spot. They only had one other guest sitting outside and there was plenty of room. Sure won't be eating next door. LOL The chicken is nothing like the Korean fried chicken you'd have in Korea towns, but it is pretty good and decently priced for Korean fried chicken in Chinatown. Would recommend if you really want for Korean fried chicken and not looking to go to Ktown at 34th street. read more

My office ordered lunch from here for lunch on Sunday. I ordered: --ORIGINAL SANDWICH MEAL: The meal comes with a fried chicken sandwich, fries and a soda. The sandwich itself was ok. The chicken was ok just slightly dry but the brioche bun was very nice. There was no sauce for the sandwich though so that made it feel even more fry. The fries were fried very well though and were very yummy. --BROWN SUGAR BUBBLE MILK: VERY sweet. But the creaminess of the milk mixed with the syrup worked very well. However, the bubbles were not fully cooked - so that was disappointing. All in all, a fairly average meal that was actually pretty pricy. read more

I came by here because I was told there was Olive BBQ in Brooklyn and I didn't need to head all the way to K-Town for Korean Fried Chicken but it was under the operating name of TSAOCAA (bubble tea shop). Glad for this new find. The Korean fried chicken here is about the same price at K-town. There was only one person in front of me while ordering in store but it was took them like 20 - 30 minutes to fried the chicken so be prepared to wait. Get the Honey Garlic Wings and Soy Garlic Wings (10 pieces each and $13.50 each order. They are very flavorful. read more

I can't complain about the KFC(Korean fried Chicken). It's not bad at all!! The chicken is very crispy and there are few options for sauces. I prefer the bone in chicken so it's more juicy. I would call ahead of time to place an order because it does take 20-25 mins for them to prepare the chicken. The drinks are good too. There's many options to try. read more

A nice place to chill with friends. Drinks have a great variety. Food wise, their wings are great, would definitely come back for them. The udon wasn't that great, the flavor was very watered down. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, very much over fried it.. it was hard and so darken, looks like it's been refried. They have spacious seating for small groups so a friend hangout will be a great place. read more

I ordered from Tsaocaa from Hungry Panda today and got soy garlic chicken, secret spicy chicken, and the chicken sandwich. The sandwich was the worst chicken sandwich I've ever had. I wish I had gotten a McChicken instead. The soy garlic was weirdly flavorless but also too saucy. I will never order from here again. read more

Currently closed for dining in. Called ahead on a Saturday night to order a whole fried chicken in their spicy sauce. They say it'll take 20 minutes. The store was empty when we went in to pick up the food. So I'm assuming they make it fresh to order. I realized a whole chicken wasn't that big. It filled up two small trays and about 18 pieces? Cost was about $22 for the whole chicken. The spicy sauce isn't that spicy. But this place is a good option if you're craving Korean fried chicken in Brooklyn. I've previously tried their wings in several different flavors: soy garlic, honey, spicy. My favorite flavor is probably their soy garlic. read more

This is a good place to hang out with friends! The store is spacious with many tables, seats, and delicious drinks. I ordered the Iced Kiwi Green Tea and the Iced Grapefruit Green Tea which where both refreshing for the summer. They were both tangy and sweet too! They are on the pricy side, $5.39 but it was worth trying once. My friend got the Sakura Oolong Tea with Amber bubbles which was alright. There was a slight taste of Sakura but there was nothing amazing about it. One problem I had with this place was that there were so many flies! It was just a bit annoying when having a convo with someone. I think it was just the day I came but I had to swat around my area a few times. However the last time I came, I didn't have that problem. read more

I intended to come here to study because I saw online that there were a lot spaces to sit. There aren't many places around 8th ave to sit and do work in. After we got our drinks, which were delicious, we settled down. I came around 5pm and could not order chicken because their kitchen was closed already. There were a good number of outlets near where I sat and not many people sitting inside. This place is kept pretty cold inside with their AC. I did not stay here long because I needed to pee and their bathroom is labelled staff only. read more

Note the name on delivery services is actually different: Tai Bei Tea and Chicken. I wanted wings at first but given they were 10pcs too much, I ordered the Boneless Honey Garlic Chicken (6pcs) with Fries Meal ($10.25) that also came with a soda. I also was craving a refreshing drink given the hot weather and got a Passion Fruit & Lime Green Tea ($5.75). My drink sadly didn't come with a straw, but I just took it as a sign to use my metal straw. The chicken came in a nice, easy to dispose, takeout box. They seem to have a partnership or something with the chain, BBQ Olive Chicken, as that's where their Korean fried chicken were from. Appearance wise, the food didn't look very appetizing, but I was pleasantly surprised. It really felt like they brought BBQ Olive Chicken to Brooklyn. The chicken had a nice, subtle sweet glaze, with an equal amount of meat to batter, if not more meat! Each of the fries were so crispy, yet perfectly soft on the inside. And of course, their stellar drinks. I stopped bothering to take a chance on their milk tea drinks and opted for their refreshing fruit teas. I love all their fruit drink selections, and none have disappointed. Sweet, yet tangy, this drink pairs so well on a nice sunny day. My type of guilty pleasure meal, this lunch satisfied and I would totally do it again. read more

Nice try but nahs. To sum it up, food was okay and drinks are horrible. I am always excited to try new spots in my childhood neighborhood which brought me in here. I mean, who doesn't love korean fried chicken? Korean Fried Chicken here is fried with olive oil, aiming to be a little more healthy and dressed with sauce of your choice. I got a ten pieces of soy garlic wings and the Strawberry Green Tea drink. KFC was crispy when I ate it and the sauce was light, which is okay for me. Drinks are horrible here and expensive (I saw them scooping powder from a bag, go figure) - skip it. Not to mention, they take forever to make your order. I anticipated the long wait since I read about previous reviews but I just did not expect to wait 30 minutes when I was the only customer. I guess their logistics need work too. I never needed to wait this long for korean fried chicken even at a restaurant which makes even fresher and tastier ones. SKIP. read more

I have no idea how to pronounce their name, so I won't even try. A friend of my parents mentioned that their Korean fried chicken is pretty good, so we stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Due to the ongoing pandemic, they were only doing outdoor seating, but we were just getting food to go, so we were inside (all the tables and chairs were stacked up). You could tell most of their business is bubble tea because that's most of what was coming out. They also do a ton of delivery business (more on that later). They only have one food menu on a table by the front, as opposed to multiple drinks menus. You can order all sorts of chicken. Boneless. Bone-in. A whole or half chicken even. If you get a meal, it's only boneless (meh) and it comes with fries and a can of soda. But if you opt for one of their bubble teas instead of the soda, you get $1 off the tea. Still about $4.50 though. Food took a long time, which I guess is good because that means it's made fresh. But during that time, there were a ton of delivery guys rushing in, violating social distance, and just screaming into the kitchen. The kitchen staff bent over backwards to get those orders out first, so that could also be why it took a while. But hey, pandemic, so cut them some slack. Finally got our food and went home. We got the boneless original golden olive meal and the honey garlic bone-in 10 piece. Also, should've mentioned that 10 pieces is the smallest amount you can get outside of the meal, which is a lot of chicken. Both were good. The pieces are smaller than you'd get at some of the other well-known KFC restaurants, but I just take it to mean there's less hormones. Also, the boneless meal we got was supposed to be 6 pieces, but they definitely threw in some extras. The fries, however, were waaay oversalted. That's my only complaint about the food. Also got a taro milk tea with boba. It was pretty good and had broken pieces of taro inside. On the sweet side, but that's to be expected. Definitely a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. Glad to finally have reliable KFC in south Brooklyn! read more

Very spacious and nicely renovated bubble,fruit tea and BB.Q Chicken (Korean style wings). There's a buy one get one free from liking and sharing on WeChat for grand opening promotion (before 8PM) which made the lines extremely long. I would definitely come back to try theBB.Q chicken since today we were advised a wait time 25-30minutes. The menu seems to have a good amount of options. I tried the Grapefruit Green Tea smoothie and honesty I think it was just okay but the tea is more of a stronger tea taste than grapefruit. Not to my likings but will to try something else next time. Downside: Extremely Loud Music, I could barely hear them call the receipt number. read more

I mainly go to Tsaocaa to get my Korean fried chicken fix, understanding that this is not an authentic Korean spot. Recently, I had the Boneless Honey Garlic and Soy Garlic. The chicken is usually a hit or miss. In my recent take-out order, I found the boneless chicken to be quite dry. The garlic sauce also leaves an unpleasant lingering after taste in your mouth for the entire day! You definitely need to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after you eat their chicken. On the plus side, the portion size is decent. I have not dined in at this establishment recently but I recall the constant smell of cigarette smoke the few times I've dined in. I am personally going to skip on dine in and and continue to order for pick-up or delivery. I can see myself coming back for their drinks, which are decent and Korean fried chicken if I really need to satisfy my Korean fried chicken cravings. read more

I was very excited to try this place since I had bb.q chicken before in Ktown. I'm not sure if this is the same franchise but it sure does look similar. Unfortunately, it tastes completely different. It is nice to know you can get Korean fried chicken in Brooklyn without going to the city or Flushing, but I think it is worth the trip if you want authentic Korean fried chicken. Upon walking in, the space is huge. There are tons of tables and it is very spacious. I absolutely love the modern decor of the place and it is kept very nice and tidy. I ordered the ice grapefruit green tea and honey garlic wings and was told it'll take about 20 minutes. I didn't mind the wait since I was getting freshly fried wings. As I was waiting, I did notice the cigarette smell lingering around the store like another fellow Yelper had mentioned. I smelled it mostly by the register more so than by the entrance so someone must be smoking by the kitchen or they have a really bad ventilation system. I felt like I was suffocating a bit and decided to wait by the entrance and noticed it didn't smell as bad by there. My ice grapefruit green tea was very presentable with slices of grapefruit around the cup. For $4.95, it tasted terrible. I didn't taste any grapefruit or green tea whatsoever. I felt as if they just blended ice and sugar and poured it right in. The only hint of grapefruit I got was from squeezing the juice from the fruit with my straw. Halfway through, it went right into the garbage. The wings also looked really delicious but very deceiving. It tasted like they boiled the chicken and coated it with a bunch of flour/corn starch. It did not taste like Korean fried chicken at all. It was a waste of $12.50. I had a terrible experience. Probably wouldn't be returning. My order came out to $19.xx and I can definitely get something better around the area for that price. You can be the judge for yourself and give this place a try. The workers were really nice and helpful so that is a plus. FYI, they kept a bottle of Febreze by the utensils so maybe they know about the cigarette stench in the store? read more

Review for their rose milk bubble tea (hot) ! I came here for the first time recently this past weekend and was so surprised I never tried this chain before. I got my drink with 50% sugar and it was perfect. The rose tea flavor was strong and the bubbles were sooo incredibly soft! It was perfectly made and I would definitely come back here again for their other drinks. Sometimes I don't always finish my drinks til the very end but I certainly did with my drink here. I highly recommend coming here. The interior is very cute too, but sadly there is no indoor seating right now due to covid. read more

I just finished rewatching Goblin so I was craving some olive chicken. Family and I ordered 20 honey garlic wings, 10 secret spicy chickens, half original golden olive, dduk bokki and a large iced grapefruit green tea. The ddukbokki this time was not as good as the other times I've had it. It was super mushy which made it taste gross. If you're going to order this- be warned, its super spicy. The honey garlic wings are pretty good. I feel like it was a tad too sweet but everyone else loves them. Secret spicy chicken was not spicy at all to me to be honest, I had just eaten the ddukbokki tho so that might be why. The chicken was super juicy and moist. Very good. My favorite was the original golden olive. I usually can't eat too many pieces of kfc because of the grease but these are different. The chicken is fried in olive oil (hence the name) do its a lot healthier. The chicken was fried to perfection. Not pictured but the grapefruit green tea is so refreshing. A must get. read more

One of the few Korean fried chicken and Korean food spot in the 8 ave area. The Korean food here is pretty darn good, almost reminiscent of the food I've had in Ktown Manhattan. However, I had to forego a star for the higher prices and waiting time. Fried chicken and other dishes here are definitely made to order so it can take upwards of 20-30 mins before your order is ready. 4/5 Good Korean food in an area where Korean food is almost non-existent. Definitely call ahead to ensure your order is ready when you come. read more

Got their Honey Garlic Chicken combo deal with fries and drink. Liked their chicken a lot as it tasted really good. The wait time for food to be prepared and cooked is just way too long. I understand the concept of fresh cooked food, but it seems like they're cooking the entire chicken. Waiting in the front makes no sense as people smoke outside the store and the fumes take up the space. Staff do offer up the bubble tea drinks first while you wait and play on your phones. Guess, next time I will call in my order first read more

I stumbled upon this place on ubereats since our usually boba place was closed the other day. My friends have told me that TSAOCAA had really good drinks in flushing; but despite the not-so-great- reviews it had for the brooklyn location, we decided to try it out. Upon looking at the menu, we saw drinks as well as korean fried chicken. I might have been living under a rock my entire life because I did not know this place existed. I would trek all the way to ktown to get bbq chicken or bonchon- not knowing that there was one so close to home! We ordered our drinks and decided to also order some fried chicken just to try it out (at this point we still had no idea that it was bbq chicken fried chicken). It arrived and needless to say, we were shocked and pleasantly surprised. We saw that it was from bbq chicken and sampled all the fried chicken we ordered. It was THE bbq chicken (lol). I decided to order a few more times from TSAOCAA to ensure I can write a fair review. I have ordered a total of four times through ubereats and every single time they do not disappoint. I would not say the drinks are AMAZING, but they are not bad for their price point. I have ordered a couple of drinks without adjusting the sweetness levels & to my surprise, it was not too sweet! A good boba is all about a good balance between the tea flavor and sweetness. TSAOCAA has done that. Me and my coworkers didn't feel extremely sluggish and heavy after finishing our bubble teas; unlike all the other places we have ordered. I recommend the cloud mist bubble tea with herbal jelly! The korean fried chicken is also really good. They arrive super crispy and flavorful every time. And same with the bubble tea, I am not left with a greasy sluggish feeling after eating the fried chicken. I would say to stay away from the ddukbokki because it is not like the traditional ddukbokki you would get from a Korean restaurant. Don't bother spending the $10 getting it. Stick with the fried chicken and bubble teas. Despite the numerous bad reviews this place has, I would say to try it out anyways! The price of the fried chicken is justified by its quality. read more

Went there my first time because it was recommended by someone. So yeah the food is not bad. Maybe I just don't like chicken as much as most people. Or maybe the wait time killed it. I was in there for about 40 minutes waiting on some chicken. I also had some drinks to be made up front and they were doing that but what was terrible was the girl who was making it. One of her friends stopped by with a young little girl. She left the girl running around but went behind the register where stuff was being made and took of her mask off to talk to her friend. That's is disgusting. Breathing out in the open on peoples drinks especially since you know Covid is not forgiving. Last time I'll be going. read more

I came into TSAôCAA for some boba because my sister has been stopping by on her way home and bringing the cute cups home. I typically go to Earnest Tea or Kung Fu Tea, if I feel like walking. The spot is pretty big and there's lots of seating so if you're looking for somewhere to hang out, I'd recommend them over the other two spots. But honesty, the tea isn't that great. The tapioca is also pretty mediocre. They're kind of ... hard? Staff were pretty unhelpful when I had questions and were downright rude. They just didn't look like they wanted to be there. I probably won't come again. There are too many new and interesting boba places around 8th avenue to try to keep giving them my money. read more

My friends and I rushed in at 10:30PM because we were dying to get our sugary drink craving! We came in here because it was one of the only bubble tea shops open this late. My friends and I ordered the Iced Grapefruit Tea, Passionfruit & Lime tea & the Passionfruit with Pineapple & Mango! We also got the boneless chicken with Soy Garlic. In total it came out to about 29 dollars. I think that the drinks are definitely on the pricey side but I believe that our drinks were still really good and refreshing. I had the Grapefruit with 50% sugar and honestly it was a perfect balance of sweet and tart for me. I also really like icy drinks so because it was in slush form, I liked it even more. The cup also isn't the thin plastic that your normal bubble tea comes in. The cup was thicker and you could definitely reuse it at home if you wanted! The chicken were large pieces and generously coated with the sauce. Because we came in so late, I'm assuming they made it fresh so it did taste really good! There is plenty of seats and outlets for you to do work or catch up with friends. It's really bright and modern, with marble tables and succulents in cute jars! I would def recommend trying this place out, even if it's on the pricey side. read more

I discovered this place on Yelp and have ordered their boneless fried chickens for take out a few time. The place is pretty spacious, with two large tables and many smaller tables, and lightening is pretty bright. They have a fried chicken menu and beverage menus. They are always busy. Sometime the place can be loud and cannot hear the staffs calling the order number so you have pay close attention. Their friend chicken is okay but it is not as great to a similar place on 32nd street Manhattan. The good part is the fried chicken is that it is freshly made. However, it does take a long time. Call ahead to order so you don't have to wait too long. I haven't really try their beverages yet. read more
