Saigon Banh Mi & Tea — Restaurant in Port Charlotte

It's pretty good! I've been twice and have gotten the Taro Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba and the Creme Brulee (Black Tea) Tea with Boba. Both drinks were aesthetically and tasted exactly how you expected it to, which was amazing! They're doing a soft opening, so I definitely recommend trying them out and giving them a chance!

My first visit, the milk tea was great, but there seemed to have been a problem with the Boba itself (I got the Taro Milk Tea). It seems like it was made a bit incorrectly, being too hard to chew and sticking together so much so that most of boba couldn't get through the straw. I read another review where their drink was made incorrectly and they were able to get one remade, but I didn't realize the problem until after I had left and didn't try to reach out about this.

I really enjoyed the ambience of the place and the employees were so nice, so I went back to see if that drink was a fluke and it was! The second visit is the one where I bought two drinks, the Taro Milk Tea and the Creme Brulee Black Tea. The tea itself was excellent and the boba was great! The drink size is exactly like what you see in the other reviewer's photos.

The store itself is really spacious and offers a number of seating areas, primarily small tables and also one loveseat. I could definitely see this becoming a little spot for people to visit and get their drinks before they head to the mall or other shopping areas. The employees are also incredibly nice and very patient towards first-time boba buyers. The drinks only took a couple minutes to be made, but they also offer to order ahead through Clover.

As of now, they're doing a soft opening in which you can sign up to receive 30% off an order. I definitely recommend trying them out and seeing...

The Lychee Fruit Tea was refreshing and lightly sweetened, with three whole lychees in the cup that added a nice burst of real fruit flavor. The tea base was smooth and balanced, not too strong or bitter. It’s a great option if you like something fruity without being overly sugary.

The Taro Milk Tea had a creamy texture and a rich taro flavor. It wasn’t too sweet and had a nice, mellow earthiness that taro fans will appreciate. The consistency was smooth without being too thick.

The Matcha Milk Tea, on the other hand, was disappointing. The drink was very pale in color, and it lacked the distinct grassy or slightly bitter flavor you’d expect from real matcha. Instead, it mostly tasted like sweetened milk with barely any tea flavor. If you’re looking for a strong, authentic matcha taste, this one probably won’t deliver.

Service was great. Pickup was quick and easy I just walked in, was greeted right away, and my drinks were handed to me...

Best boba tea from Las Vegas to Florida. I’m on a boba kick right now and this one was customized and hand crafted before my eyes. The fruit was diced and green tea brewed and mango puréed. This location is just off El jobean and 41 and such a happy place. Service is A-Class. Now, unlike the others, this one was 75 cents more, but totally worth it because everything was freshly made with real fruit! They also sell gourmet ice cream like strawberry cheesecake and blueberry cobbler!!! This place is very clean and it’s cliche but. I’ll have to say it was service with a smile from begin to end. They also offer on sale, smoothies and sandwiches. I can’t wait to get back for their number one offering which is the Florida signature boba tea which is a pineapple...
