I Tea — Restaurant in Philadelphia

This is an absolute gem of a place! ✨ You don't usually find a cafe/restaurant with an extensive food menu and bubble tea that are BOTH good. The place is definitely a hole in the wall, but again the food is really incredible flavor and quality, the staff is very kind, and there are even two cute puzzles on the tables (tictactoe and jenga) so you can pass a little time. There's even a bathroom downstairs you can use if you ask nicely. Don't miss this place if you're in the neighborhood!

The tea (bubbles specifically) are still something for me to get used to but the drink itself was pretty good! We shared the soy garlic wings which were super crunchy and so good. Loved the sauce! We ate in the restaurant and it was clean and quiet. Service was quick and polite. For a quick afternoon bite with my son, it was the perfect experience. Would definitely return &...

I'm in between 4 stars and 5, but I will give it 5 stars. I came during a hectic lunch rush around 12:15 pm on a Friday. The place was jammed packed with school-aged kids.

It was about a 30 minute wait to get my food and drink which was unexpected. However, the customer services was probably as good as it could get. Despite there being about 50 kids in this tiny place, the staff handled it well. They took all the orders, did not overlook anyone, and got all the orders correct.

I ordered takeout and everything was delicious, the bubble tea and the fried flounder was way better than I thought it would be. I'd probably return during a different time of day or order ahead, but I'm...
