Frequently asked questions about Tai Chi Bubble Tea
Tai Chi Bubble Tea Albany Reviews
Super cute place. Foods good, quick, and priced well. The bubble teas good wish they asked me how much sugar was a bit sweet for me. Ramen n sushi were good!. The place is way to bright with sun blinding lighting 😅 lol but I'd go back that for sure.
Bowl of ramen was huge, very filling. Chicken had nice flavor. I’m not the biggest tea fan but the pineapple was sweet but not too sweet. It wasn’t too strong of a tea taste which was fine by me. Absolutely loved the smoothie. I got strawberry and added in banana. So refreshing!!
Wow I want to come here everyday. I have been to another location but I love this one so much. It’s so beautiful and clean everyone’s so friendly. The food was delicious. The decoration was so cute and you can order it all no contact basically. However if you want that personal experience you can get that too. I’m seriously obsessed!!!
Omg! This food and the price. Yaas! For 14.99 you can get a 3 protein sushi bowl with as many add ins as you like. At most sushi bowl places, they count avocado as 1 of the proteins but not here so that was a huge plus. I loved their choices for add ins too: mango and pickled radishes were a nice surprise. I also tried the Taro milk tea with tapioca pearls. The tea was delish and something I’ve never tried before. Didn’t love the pearls but that is not new for me, it’s just not my thing and nothing to do with the taste of Taichi’s pearls. Will absolutely return to try some spicy ramen!
today i tried taichi bubble tea in Albany. it is so delicious and i recommend. i had the eel rice bowl and it was very delicious. i really love the decorations and the food and drinks. the place is very clean, and the workers were very helpful and kind. i will definitely be coming here more often! there are many options to choose from, different milks and non dairy products, even some vegetarian options! i wonderful place to go out to eat with friends or family, or even just for stopping by for a drink 😊
Place is super cute. Food is perfect and it made me feel like comforting home food. This place is perfect to hangout with your loved ones. Staff is so friendly. The best part is the sticky notes you see in the photos. We made one for each other to cheers forever memories.
I tried Taichi today, it was my first time coming here and i think I will be returning. The decorations are so nice and it’s very clean, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the bubble tea. It’s very clean and a great place to come for a drink, a meal, and even to hang out. I recommend coming here to everyone.
Had lunch with my family at Tai Chi Bubble Tea, Ramen and Poke on Western Ave. The restaurant is extremely clean with ample space. Staff was very friendly. Ramen bowls were delicious, customizable, and you can tell fresh ingredients were used. I’ll be back very soon, highly recommend!
An incredibly cute interior with just straight and simple good food. I love the wall of post-it notes that customers can draw on, I love the color scheme and the booths, it's just such a nice place to sit down and exist in.
Tai chi Bubble Tea is the best boba place i know! 😊 The food was so good and the tea is amazing. the store is decorated very cute, and the workers were so nice and helpful. i will definitely come back and i recommend coming here to everyone! 🧋❤️
The tea tastes wonderful—smooth and well balanced. Thank you so much, Serana and Sushi, for listening so carefully and explaining the recipe in detail, especially since I’m lactose intolerant. I wish your shop great success and many customers, and I’ll definitely be a regular customer.😊😊❤️❤️
Great atmosphere. Anytime I have gone in, it's usually students from the near by university, but there is always a place to sit. There is a sizable menu with both milk teas and food. The milk tea selection has many different ways to enjoy it, and the foods are mostly customizeable as well. My "go to" during is the sweet potato zang zang. The banana milk tea with pudding is also delicious. The sushi burrito is basically like eating a customized uncut sushi roll, so if you add sauces, it's likely gonna leak out the end (so good though). They just added takoyaki to the menu and it wasn't too bad for a quick bite.

Never got the chance to go in but I order boba time to time on Uber Eats. Sometimes they have bogo deals too. Love it.
Super delicious! I got the miso chicken ramen and not only was it packed with so much flavor and color, but I left feeling perfectly full. I added bean sprouts and veggies, for a total of $17 before tax. For all that you get and the flavor, it’s a deal. I tried their brown sugar boba tea and it was good, but I prefer a thicker boba. Nothing anyone did wrong, as it was still good, just a different kind of boba. Overall, I will be frequenting this place!

I normally have a great experience ordering from here, however I decided to try the tonkotsu ramen and I had to throw the entire thing away. I ordered it through door dash and got two boba teas which were great but the ramen itself had such an unpleasant taste and aroma. It tasted heavy of chlorine which is so strange and the mushrooms were generally just overpowering in my opinion. The pork was tender but tasted like old cabinet which I guess is a woody taste lol. I usually get the poke bowl or eel bowl which I wish I just stuck to instead of getting this. There also was no green onions in the ramen despite it saying it comes with them. Maybe this is an acquired taste but I’m disappointed that it wasn’t what I was hoping for.

We got bunch of drinks and some of the bobas were raw I believe… we called the store and they said it’s because the drink was a cold drink but only some were brown not all so was it because it was cold or some were just under cooked?
It's fine if you're ordering or dining in store, but every single time I order online they conveniently forget half of the toppings, even those you pay extra for, and the bowl is only 3/4 of the way full.
Beware of their rewards app. Have spent a few hundred here and when I tried to use one of my $10 off the App and it did not work. They brought a manager up who was very clueless on the rewards program and was unsure what it even was. Since I activated the $10 reward it is now expired because the manager was unwilling to even try. Last time I order from here. Tried finding some contact info for management but every link on their website leads to a door dash ordering website.
