1st time 5 stars. I was just minding my business trying to buy some comic books when I saw this places sign out front. My wife loves bubble tea and I wanted to let her know I was thinking about her. So I stepped in. Inside was nice. I was surprised to see they had hot foods and fries. I grabbed two bubble teas. I got myself one that was honey green tea but not milky. Normally I do not like the type that isn't milky. But this was amazing. I sipped her milky rose one too. These are some of the best bubble teas I've had. The drinks had such nice cups with the perfect little carrier. I also snatched up some macarons. They tasted fresher than any I've ever had. I thought they were supposed to be a little stale. People were very friendly. So I'm going to say I might hit this place up every time I go for comics. 2nd time: We ordered food and it was pretty bad. Both got chicken dishes that had very fatty chicken in it. Tried Taoyaki and that is not my thing. I'm worried I won't be able to keep it down. Egg waffles taste like little air sacks. Anyway I would go here for bubble tea again but nothing else. If that Takoyaki comes back up I won't update you.

I hate to say this but possibly the best bubble tea place I have ever had and sadly it's away from Florida. It has a wide array of bubble tea to choose from. I had the Brown Sugar Milk Swirl which was absolutely delicious, despite the Boba being smaller than most tea places I have been to, it didn't dissolve quickly and maintained its flavor. My friend had the Colorful Fruits tea which had a few different fruits included with it and she enjoyed it greatly as well. You do have an option to decide how sweet you would like it as the tea itself is generally sweet as is. They do have some food items such as fried chicken sandwich, 6 pieces of chicken (soy garlic, Buffalo, original, honey garlic etc.), pork gyoza, fries as well as sweet potato fries.

I've been to other Tsaocca locations but this one stands out to me because it's so great!!!! They don't just have boba, they have froyo and other salty yummies too!!! Went here with some friends and got the 20 piece wings half soy garlic and half regular spicy. SO GOOD OMG!! The wings are a bit on the smaller side but they have that perfect crunch and flavor. Delicious. The wait was not bad at all and the employees got it to us pretty fast even though the shop was pretty busy. Inside was clean and bathroom was nice and did not need a lock/code for it. Will be coming back!!!!!!!

I went today - The Grapefruit Peach Tea with CWJ is amazing! Would have undoubtedly given a full 5 stars had the young lady at the register not been so condescending and uninviting.

The bubble tea at Tsaocaa is amazing! I got the brown sugar and it was super yummy. I took my niece there and she loved it too! It was sweet and such a fun drink thanks to the chewy tapioca bubbles. You can get tired of the bubbles after a while, but the drink is still great and refreshing. We also got honey garlic wings and fries. All was very good and fresh. Get the combo, it's a better deal than a la carte. I wish we did. Any who, check them out. They were friendly as well.

This is a review for the bubble tea. Overall, this bubble tea spot brings a lot of flavor to Main Street on Manayunk. It is comparable to Mi'N Tea, which is located nearby. Pros: - Very carefully designed interior. Very warm and inviting - Price was definitely on the affordable side - when you ask for 30a% sugar, you will actually get 30% sugar - a lot of bubble tea flavors to choose from. We went with the Jasmine milk tea and the matcha bubble tea. - I liked the packaging a lot. Very unique compared to other boba tea places. - Great customer service. Cons: - I felt that the texture of the boba was very rubbery

From jazz hands to great chicken this place has it all.. Tsaocaa Manayunk is located in what use to be the old Starbucks building. I found myself here on a Monday night. While walk to my favorite burger place, a friendly guy at the counter (who I'd later find out was Andrew) greeted me with jazz hands while I stopped and read the sign on the door. I pointed him and the fact that they had Korean fried chicken out to my boyfriend and we decided to made a quick change of plans. So get the special. It's worth it. It comes with some form of bubble tea and your meal. We order two meals from suggestions from Andrew who told me that they have the best chicken sandwich ever. He was not wrong. The sandwich is amazing. The fried chicken was dipped in a spicy sauce and served on a brioche bun. Some kind of mayo stuff was slathered on it as well with pickles. It just worked. I also had sweet potato fries and some kind of milk tea with brown sugar jellies. They were both good BUT the sandwich. Get 4 when you go. We also had honey garlic wings and regular fries...and a second sandwich. Servers were nice, place was clean, Andrew was awesome. Please do yourself a favor and get the chicken sandwich. I am sure I will be back.

A great new addition to Main St.! Not just a bubble tea store, but also froyo and some food items. This is my second Tsaocaa location I've tried, and this place is definitely cleaner with nicer service. Sorry, Tsaocaa, although you are not my favorite milk tea place (too watery for my taste), you do win when it comes to fruit tea in the city. Plus, this location sells freshly made chicken wings, somewhat korean fried chicken style! As in it will take a while for your order to come out because it is freshly fried and smothered in your choice of sauce. Soy garlic was pretty salty but still delicious.

Tsaocaa in Roxborough is my friend's and my go-to boba place! I've had Tsaocaa in center city as well, but something about this Roxborough location is a lot better. Coming from the West Coast, I've had my fair share of boba and Tsaocaa in Roxborough is the only one that can compare. They have a great variety of drinks, their boba is soft and sweet. I tend to go for their brown sugar drink, but my friends also enjoy the peach oolong milk tea with boba too. Highly recommend Tsaocaa! Parking is a bit difficult, entirely street parking, but not impossible.

This is a review for the bubble tea. One of the best bubble teas I've had. Tastes very fresh with real fruit. I had the passion fruit lime with mango boba with half the sugar. Tastes amazing and the boba tasted like real mango. I would get 30% sugar next time. My friend got the mango slush with mango boba and no sugar and believes that mango purée was used. She loved it stating it tastes like real mango. Would highly recommend!

Manayunk is so lucky to have acquired a shop like Tsaocaa. The staff goes above and beyond for their customers, and you can tell that they genuinely love what they do. Every time I'm in Manayunk, I make sure to stop by and order a bubble tea or some froyo. My favorite tea is the Honey Citrus Lime Jasmine Tea. It doesn't come with any of the bubbles/pearls, but I always add some. The location is spacious enough to bring a few friends, and it's an extremely cozy spot. Highly recommend!

They have a great variety of drinks from fruit teas to milk teas to smoothies, there's something for everyone. My personal favorite is the wintermelon, it's sweet and refreshing (highly recommend). I love that you can add any toppings such as boba/bubbles, aloe/jaya jelly and so on. You can also adjust the sweetness and the ice level (70% sweet is still yummy and I feel less guilty about the sugar). Loved the ambiance. It would be great for a date or just to meet up with friends. There is great seating inside and it also is located in the middle of Manayunk so you can also go on a walk along the water with your boba. They have a cute, picture-taking wall feature. There was a whole section for different asian snacks like tomato-flavoured chips and green tea kit kats. Very yummy and you can take a treat home!

Love this place! Been coming here for a while now and decided to stop in for a late lunch last…read moreweek. Veggie dumplings always hit the spot so we started out with those--Can't go wrong! I usually get the grilled shrimp pho but decided to switch it up and try the grilled shrimp platter which is another one of my personal favs--They did a great job it was yummy but could use maybe 2 more shrimp to make the dish more fulfilling; maybe advertise it as on add on if possible. The curry shrimp was also tasty, I don't think it had any sweet potatoes in it like the menu said and could've used less egg plant but overall was pretty good. Still one of my favorite places on main street to grab a bite to eat :)

But someone under the post commented that they enjoy coming to Main Street Pho so I decided to come to this location because this is close to me. You can go on their site and place the order for pick up. That was very convenient and easy. It's right on Main Street in manayunk so you already know the parking is not the greatest. I actually drove by the place. I had to circle back around and I got lucky and found parking. It's actually right across the street from Winnie's to be exact. It's a very small and quaint place and the gentleman at the counter was very nice and helpful. I got the brisket pho, eggplant with garlic sauce and shrimp, chicken wings and Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I was not impressed; disappointed in the lack of flavor. Their wings were with tamarind sauce and the sauce was not good so I did not use it so it left the wings very bland. All of the food really didn't have any flavor and Pho is supposed to have great flavor coming from the broth. Even the Vietnamese coffee was just OK. I've had better of all the above. I'm not sure if I will go back here. I'm a flavor person so that's what I would need to be sold. Maybe this is a bad batch day.

In addition to the amazing food, I need to recognize New Leaf for their exceptional service as well.

We have been recommending them to friends and family for a while now and will continue to do so because they are the real deal! Thank you, New Leaf team!

The poke itself was very fine. Not a lot of options in either the fish department or the toppings department. And there are up charges for a lot of ingredients I feel are typically standard, like seaweed salad. I also got a creme brûlée drink which was definitely not worth the money. It feels mom and pop which I appreciate and do feel like with some small additions to their poke options this could be a nice spot if you're in the area.

The…read morefolks who run the place are super nice and attentive, definitely family-run, and because of that I am going to do what I can to support this local business because we don't need another chain joint in our area. And good on them for taking a risk on Bala village where few retail businesses have been willing to invest. Similar vibe inside to when it was Trails End but they have opened up all of the internal space for dining so plenty of options to sit inside on a cold day. Lots of take-out snacks and drinks are available for trail users, including a nice selection of iced cream bars, coffee, bars, etc. On to the food. I absolutely love ramen, so honestly, I'm happy to have someplace in our neighborhood where I can get a decent bowl. Overall everything was good. Solid bowl of homemade ramen. Not at the level of places like Hiro or Terakawa, but not at all flat and the noodles were well cooked. I got it with shrimp tempura which came with 2 small but super crunchy shrimp that went well with the soup. Also, I got an order of takoyaki which actually was surprisingly yummy. Good texture and flavor came on a nice little bed of lettuce. Again, not the best takoyaki ever, but still pretty yummy. Was happy with the milk tea I got, tasted home-brewed and they got my sugar level just right. The tapioca was just ok. My spouse got a creme brulé bubble tea which was similar to mine but with a custardyness to it that I was jealous of. For a small shop run by 2 people that sells a lot of different things in a super odd location in Bala, this place surprised me with how good it was. I'm giving it 5 stars because they are new and are still building the business and getting the kinks out. I really do think this place can become awesome if people keep going and give them feedback to allow them to make it even better. I wonder if having so many options (poke, ramen, etc) is hurting them as people are used to either going to a poke place or a ramen place. Is it possible to do both types of food really well, maybe. But honestly, I think if they chose one and really nailed it, this place would take off. My vote is for ramen, but that's just because I'm not big on poke and there are already a number of sushi spots in our area. Overall, if you live in the area, and have a craving for some poke, ramen, or bubble tea. Please, support them, and help them get even better! I'm rooting for Platform Z!
