Kim's Teahouse — Restaurant in Katy

I love a good cup of tea and despite what many believe or will tell you, I drink more tea than any other beverage. I love the countless options for tea and the growing number of establishments I can visit that specialize in tea. One I have tried and liked very much is Kim’s Teahouse, a fun place to visit for tea and food.

This location on Mason Road in Katy, Texas features a medium- sized interior that can seat about 50 or so people. It is common to have to wait in line to place an order, due to the popularity and quality of the food and drink, but I have always been able to find a place to sit. The colorful art murals and other features make for a comfortable place to plop down and drink your tea while you converse with others, work on your laptop, or otherwise pass the time away.

The number one reason to visit Kim’s Teahouse is for the wide assortment of teas. I like the large display of drinks on the wall and the numbering is good because you can order by number and be assured of getting what you wanted. But don’t think that the glassware you see depicted in the pictures on the wall is how you drink will get served. This is for show only. The drinks are served in large, ordinary plastic glasses with a seal across the top.

I have liked every beverage I have tried from here, and that includes everything from strawberry tea to almond cream tea and others. Many of the teas come with added boba, tapioca, jelly, etc and that can make them even more fun to drink, especially for kids. Oh, and if you’re not necessarily in the mood for tea, they have coffee drinks and smoothies, too.

With the food, the options are limited, but the snack size is just right for a quick meal. I like the spicy chicken the best, but the egg rolls are also good and, again, they match well with most any drink. The service is quite efficient for a place that is so popular and when I think about everything Kim’s Teahouse has to offer, it easily rates as one of my favorite places for tasty tea and an accompanying snack food, and it’s a place I will...

Usually I have nothing but good experiences here, but today was much different. I came here and met a few friends, and as we were talking, this elderly woman came up to us and asked us to help her get a ride back home because her Uber was not working, and she was willing to pay anything to get back home. None of her family was available, and she had been waiting over an hour, trying to get the app to work. She was very desperate and none of us were too sure how to react, so one of my friends went to the cashier to tell them about the situation and see if the workers/management could sort out an arrangement to help the old lady. They responded very rudely and said “that’s on you” and suggested it was our problem. They later came over just to tell the lady to not bother us without in any way addressing her situation. After we realized management was going to do absolutely nothing for this lady who was very tired, we tried fixing the Uber app on her phone, but as she said, it was not working. Ultimately, I downloaded the Lyft app and purchased a driver for her so she could get home. She was very thankful and paid me back, but my friends and I are very disappointed with management. They didn’t care to do anything to resolve the issue or help this lady get back home. They were extremely rude and offered absolutely zero help. How do you build a “Kim’s Communitea” when your own workers are turning their backs on their customers and their needs?...

Saw this boba shop had a great amount of unique flavors and decided to try it out!!! They have a variety of different flavors, toppings/sinkers, and some unique tea flavors I don’t normally see. For instance they have an artichoke tea which has an earthy taste to it but it’s delicious!! This drink comes automatically at 25% sweetness but it includes a BUNCH of sinkers that I usually wouldn’t get together. I was hesitant when the employee listed all the sinkers, but was pleased that all the flavors combined well. I will definitely return for this drink during the summer!!! Their passion fruit green tea is also very delicious although it kind of has a perfume-y aftertaste. It taste like an artificial passion fruit flavor, but it was still delicious nonetheless. The boba is also super fresh even during the late hours which is VERY much appreciated. Definitely a must try if you want to venture out from the regular taro, thai, or brown sugar milk teas!!! The dining area is also very spacious and a great...
