Lots of ViVi locations all around the city and you can't go wrong with any of them. They all have mostly the same drink items but will have different food options - the one thing that's constant is the Popcorn Chicken which is 10/10. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - View inside. It's very small, but still a cute and charming aesthetic - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Food (4/5): Got the matcha bubble tea. It was decent but not the freshest or best I've had. Service (4/5): Bubble tea came out fast and they were reasonably helpful. Ambiance (3/5): It has nice color tones and cool poster decorations. However it is a bit dirty and the floor and walls seem like they've seen some wear and tear. There is a food amount of seating but no restrooms. read more

I've been visiting this particular establishment for over 5 years now. The bubble tea is still good but the popcorn chicken only continues to disappoint each visit. The chicken is refried and not fresh. Chicken is very tough. From the picture you can tell it's not newly made batch. read more

Pretty good. Had a roommate who lived off of this stuff like it was crack. She's a boba aficionado and this was her go-to. Do with that information what you will. read more

This bubble tea chain seems to be everywhere I look nowadays. I think there are like 30 of them in the city. This one on 14th street is pretty much the same as all the rest. Same look and feel. Same menu featuring all kinds of bubble teas, along with some food items like popcorn chicken. I've only had the bubble teas from here as they have a nice variety and do a good job with them. Some good deals on them too. Not a meat eater so I avoid the chicken here. Not sure I would eat chicken from a bubble tea spot anyway. read more

As a student this place is a game changer, not only are the drinks super good and very flavorful, but the staff allows you to get a large bubble tea for the price of a medium with a student id. Great option if you're craving bubble tea and i personally recommend the Oreo crème brûlée. The seating area is nice and this place is great to go with friends. read more

Another decent boba tea place in East Village. Fun customer service and very clean inside. Ordered the Vivi Bubble Milk Tea, flaming Brown Sugar Milk tea, and Thai Milk Tea. All 3 had the perfect amount of sugar and tea flavor. Price was on par with Kung Ku Tea and not as busy. For sure will be back. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

They misheard my order and when I told the guy at the cashier he said "what do you want me to do about it, you already ordered. You can order a new one". I've never been somewhere where they won't remake a drink when they rang it up incorrectly. read more

It's decent bubble tea, but nothing special. It's on par with KFT and Gong Cha, with bit more gourmet feel. Wish they made the interior a bit cleaner and easier to sit around, but it's supposed to be more of a come and go type of place. read more

This area is bound to meet all your bubble tea needs (with GongCha and PaTea being right across the street). That being said, the major thing Vivi's has going for it are its discounts and prices. They're a bit easier on the wallet compared to GongCha. Also Vivi's milk tea is easy on those who are lactose intolerant (in my experience). read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Specials - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Came in with some friends after a late-night dinner. I took a look at the very large menu and decided to go with a Taro Milk Tea with Soymilk. I have been a fan of taro milk tea for quite some time, but I had never personally had from ViVi. The employee behind the counter wasn't particularly friendly while he took my order. I paid a little under $5 for a medium, which is around average bubble tea pricing. My tea was ready in about 5 minutes, and I was excited to try it. I was overall really disappointed with it. Firstly, I did not find the taro flavor to be strong at all. Secondly, I was asked about sugar level, and made clear that normal, or 100% was fine. However, I found that it wasn't very sweet at all. Overall, with my tea quality and mediocre customer service, I probably wouldn't come back. I had originally stopped in due to the late hour that I was out and many other locations being closed. There are plenty of other bubble tea locations in this area of NY. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Bubble 3Q Milk Tea 3Q - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

The people who work here are pretty rude, especially the two young girls who have been there recently. I've been two times and both times they didn't have boba. I came 3 hours before closing so I couldn't even give them that excuse. Sucks because I like their drinks! You're better off going across the street to MooMoo Cha. read more

its really good its like a quiet shack in New York but the food is pretty good, and the worker there is quick so the service is very good.

Take my money. Relatively cheaper and reasonable priced bubble tea shop! If you're looking for some boba, this place is the way to go.

If it were Lychee, it'd be my largest cat. But it's not, it's Vivi. This is one of two Vivi locations which I came to and enjoyed a drink and then the pictures disappeared. I don't know if I uploaded them and then they disappeared or they just completely disappeared off my camera. But I'm a fan of the bubble tea here and it's pretty good and I wish them all the best and I'll definitely be back at some point when I'm in this part of Manhattan. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Garlic Popcorn Chicken - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

I am enamored ViVi's mango green tea $3.50 which I usually opt without tapioca black pearls or jelly, but I always request for a towering amount of ice. Yes, Sally W. a loyalty punch card is available upon request only and interchangeable usage at ViVi's locations. The loyalty punch card also serves as a business card. Minimal seating is available as my goal was to rest momentarily away from the fast-pace daily grind, daily deal, daily life's intake. A moment of phlegmatic was absorbed. Service is average. Note: No restroom facility is available on premise since seating is under twenty and not required by law. read more

I was disappointed when i received my drink because it didn't taste anything like it's name. I've had many brown sugar milk teas before and this was by far my least favorite. It was much more milky than anything else & simply did not look like the posted pictures. Taste is subjective so dont write this place off with my opinion alone but it just wasn't for me. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - March 1 /2020 I paid $5.44 just a little Popcorn Chicken. Before they give a lot. Now they are giving less and less. Boooooo - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

I went in tonight ordered two drinks the girl made the drinks and put them on the counter. It wasnt super busy there wasnt anyone really in the store around this time. My drink was super watery I got the flaming brown sugar milk tea which is usually amazing im not sure what happened tonight. Second drink friend said was also water which was the taro creme brulee. The serive bothered me tonight because i was by myself with the drinks so usually when this happens they put them in a bag and its easier to carry i asked for a bag since she just placed them on the counter and she hands me a bag as if i was annoying her. She didnt bag it or give me straws like every other person has done and I frequent this location alot but after tonight Im not sure if I want to continue visiting that location. read more

Such a cute place in china town, for a quick and tasty bubble tea break. I got the classic Vivi bubble milk tea, which was a classic black milk tea with bubbles. The tea itself is like any other tea, fragrant, well mixed and with a ratio of tea, milk, and water. The bubbles were made perfectly tender and chewy. I wish there was something putting it more out there from other bubble tea places, but it doesn't. But it's also not bad. They offer small snacks too such as onigiri , which i also got but did not picture. It was also well made. The rice was soft, tender, the meat was tender and not dry. And it's a great snack. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Vivi bubble milk tea - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Vivi is the worst of the bubble tea chains around the city - I really wish they were so much better since they have more locations around town where I end up being, but every location is as underwhelming as the last. The milk tea here is very powdery in flavor, and the boba is consistently too soft and completely flavorless. Across the board. Every Vivi. Don't come here. Find the nearest Kung Fu or Coco! read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Always go for the eyes - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

I think the decor is cute and the cups with the little skeleton figures is cute, but the bubble tea was bland. I got the 3Q, which is the one with grass jelly and egg custard. It's all the rage these days. I felt that the tea was not sweet enough, the boba a bit soft, and the grass jelly and egg custard to be on the bland side. It's probably healthier than those where you can only taste the cream, but I honestly wanted something heavier. Since you have the option of getting less cream and/or ice, I figure people who want a healthier version can get that. The nice thing is that the price seems alright. They also offer a musubi with a boba for only $5. Not bad at all. You can get an upgrade from a medium to a large with a student ID, but don't expect them to prompt you. read more

So glad that I don't have to travel all the way to Chinatown to get vivi bubble tea! Makes the perfect ending to any meal whether you had halal down the street or baohaus next door. The place itself is small, but bigger than the one in Chinatown. Boba was consistent with their other location: bombdotcom. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Free 99 for checking in and getting another drink. - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

I've had sooo many bad bubble teas before that sometimes I'm afraid to try new places, but a couple years ago my friend (who I trusted) wanted to get bubble tea and we were in Chinatown (different location than this one) and I got one and it was delicious! The place screams Asians since it's super "kawaii" but it's definitely an "in" place for younger Asian people. All the bubble teas they make are delicious and I recommend you get the 3Q Milk Tea if it's your first time trying it, it's honestly a favorite of mine, but I got the Green Tea Yakult, which is a light yogurt drink (Also good). In the past I've also gotten the takoyakis before and I've tried from "authentic" places before and it's pretty good if you want to try octopus balls. I know it sounds weird but give it a try, it's pretty good and perfect for carrying around in the city while on the go. So to sum it up, you get great bubble teas, pretty decent small snacks and everything is at a decent price! The one thing I love about this location is that they provide seating, which most ViVi's don't and that it's in a location where there aren't much bubble tea places around. read more

Totally going to ViVi on 14th Street because of the advertised special of 2 for $4 Passion QQ or Peach Ice Jelly drink. I like the Peach Ice Jelly drink. IF YOU ARE HERE OFTEN, ASK FOR THEIR PUNCH CARD. THEY WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU A PUNCH CARD UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT. Service here is odd. The person at the register doesn't know what goes in my drink. Kept on telling me boba is in the drink I ordered when it doesn't. And doesn't know how to omit the ice out of the cup!!! If they keep on having this drink special, I'll keep on visiting. read more

It got the job done! I had to pick up a relative after a minor surgery. He was under anesthesia and i knew he would be really loopy. He doesn't drink coffee or tea so i decided to get him the Mango bubble tea from here and a passion fruit bubble tea for myself. He was definitely loopy but he did manage to walk a few blocks and the tea definitely helped! Also for someone who isn't a tea or bubble tea fan, he said he really liked it. what more can you ask for? read more

Now, bring your school ID and they will boost up your medium bubble tea to a large one. If you do not mind getting fat or you are like me doing cheat meal everyday, go ahead. Location: ViVi is close to the new Gongcha. I never want to come to ViVi because I am a hardcore CoCo fan. Nevertheless, my friend told me that their popcorn chicken is great. I was like, okay, lemme try. This place is interesting, very Asian. The cute design and weird logo, way to go, babe. The line is really quickly, looks like everyone knew what they want? I went with bubble tea without sugar, without ice. And popcorn chicken and omg fried oreo. I did not try fried oreo since the calories behind it would be insane. I would just watch people eat instead of letting myself stuck in the fat hole. But I did try popcorn chicken. Delish! It tasted exactly what I had back in middle school. I cannot describe, but it was with emotion in it. LOL, I just want to emphasize how good it tasted. Bubble tea is average but bubble is very good. Overall: a 3.5 experience. And I usually do not write review for beverage shop, this one is so good that I decided to write something. Although rate is not high, I recommend people to try bubble tea and popcorn chicken here. Better than Gongcha for sure tho read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Solid bubble tea. Everyone needs one every now and then. This is my neighbourhood go-to. This joint uses lactaid instead of milk. I'm not lactose intolerant but perhaps this helps others in deciding whether to dine here or not. Bonus: it's just $3.00 for a generous medium-sized standard bubble milk tea. read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - Bubble milk tea. Not from powder. - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Two months ago my friend and I went to a Ukrainian restaurant in the area (which I wrote a review of too) and afterwards we walked over to this place. Inside it's not the biggest place but then again for these sort of places they don't really have to, though it could've been a little cleaner. The color scheme and design though blended in well with the sort of establishment it is. One cool thing about the place is that they accept my friend and I's student cards for discount, so if you're a college student in the area they should accept it too. I'm more of a traditional ice cream / milkshake guy, but if you like the sort of shakes and teas they have on their menu, definitely visit this place. so even though I might not come here often, it was nice to visit nonetheless and hopefully I can return to try out the food they have on their menu. read more

Taiwanese popcorn chicken is becoming less of once-in-awhile treat to a guilty after-workout pleasure. Which is bad, because now I'm calling every form of physical activity a "workout" to justify my nasty (but delicious) habit. It doesn't help that my brother also goes crazy at the prospect of fried chicken. Maybe we're genetically doomed to be fatasses. The chicken can be... inconsistent. The "spicy" I ordered the other day was indeed teary eyed spicy but it was lacking in sodium. I fear this has something to do with the health conscience area. Stupid green movement. Oh well, I can always just tell them to kick it a notch and it's not like I have any other options. Seriously, where else around can you get popcorn chicken and fried Oreos? This place has a vice grip on my balls. I don't know why a Taiwanese place is serving carnival food but it's better not to ask questions. Sshh sshh sshh sshh *inserts* read more

Ordered through Postmates, at the time there's a promotion $3 off $15 order, was delivered from this Vivi location rather than a closer one. Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba: 90/100, so far the best brown sugar milk tea I had. (Compares to Yifang and etc) Taro Milk: 70/100. Don't really like milk... Popcorn chicken (garlic): flavor is ok, but portion is too small read more

I love VIVI! They have great flavor sand fast service. I usually get the bubble tea with the boba & pudding in it. It's also nice that they have Lactaid options for those who can't handle regular dairy. Overall, this place is consistent & will always have good options since it's a franchise. I'll be back! read more

ViVi Bubble Tea - I bubble tea. - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

From experience some Vivi's chains sells different types of food items (popcorn chicken etc). YES THIS STORE HAS POPCORN CHICKEN!!! And it is GOOD!!! All the stores sell about the same selection of bubble teas, which are a staple for the store. The bubble teas are pretty solid, but it is the popcorn chicken that puts them over the top. So delicious. The Taiwanese sausages are very good as well. Oily and greasy, however 2 sausages for $5 is pretty extreme, so i stick to the popcorn chicken. My favorite flavor is the basil followed closely by the spicy, but in essence all 5 flavors are delicious. PLEASE READ: SOME YELP READERS ARE MISGUIDED. Vivis does have a loyalty program, but you have to the read the back of the loyalty card carefully. The loyalty cards are not INTERCHANGEABLE AT ALL VIVIS locations. For example The loyalty card I have is only accepted at 5 Vivis stores (2 Chinatown locations, Little Italy, Financial District, and Chelsea) and thus I had to get a new one for this location. Definitely will come back as this is a one stop shop for both my bubble tea cravings and the popcorn chicken. read more
