Chihiro Tea Downtown Brooklyn — Restaurant in New York

3 1/3 stars. mixed feelings tbh.

the negative: Ordered the hojicha milk tea with 30 percent sweetness because I like to taste the tea flavor but without the sweetness this drink just tasted watery, the hojicha flavor was present but faint. also, beware of the automated ordering machines, they're very sly about automatically adding on the tip amount to your bill, normally I catch it in time but didn't see this one until after I'd already paid and noticed my drink came to over $8 dollars.

However, during our first visit on a Wednesday, we didn’t receive the same polite and helpful service from the girl with pink bangs; she seemed a bit annoyed.
