I was looking for a new Chinese place to eat. I discovered Taichi yesterday in the Smith Point Shopping Plaza in Stony Brook. It is now my new "go to " spot, as I was very happy and give it a 10 on a scale of 1 through 10. The resturant is very clean, the service was fast, the girl behind the counter was pleasant, the price of the food was cheaper than most other places, the food and portion sizes were both good.

The jelly and the tapioca is cooked perfectly and tastes perfectly with these precious little stars and hearts, which just makes eating them much more appealing. This is definitely my new go to place for boba, and I highly recommend visiting. Also the workers were so nice, and the place overall is...
Read moreI simply wanted a bubble tea and taichi delivered on it. I got the brown sugar zang zang milk tea. I was so good. I think my only regret is not getting with soy milk. It's a nice clean place. I'm surprised it's almost been open 10 years. I'm only in the area for work a few times a month but it's worth the drive from my job. Mind you it's only 10 mins but I was happy. I was actually thinking of getting a coffee at Starbucks but I just really wanted a bubble tea. Happy I...
