Tea Time Express

I love this place! All of the drinks are so good and unique. The mango strawberry teazer is delicious! Will definitely be coming back.

Located inside the 168 Market. we were helped by a friendly guy. There was a few bento selections to choose from. Gabriel made a recommendation to the chicken bento. We decided to split it since I was not that hungry. Easy enough to make payment no issues there. To the side were many tables to sit at. We did
Show your check in and get a free can of soda. We opted out of that and settled for water. Guess our sweet run caught up to us.
The food was delicious. With the different vegetables, some pickled, they acted like condiments to the meal. Loved it. The chicken was tender and marinated well. Our only dislike was for the rice being too moist. Don’t care for mushy rice at all.
Parking is abundant and easy in the 168 Market Center.

Stop be here about once a week! Really like the Hot Grass Jelly dessert and Iced Tofu pudding. The workers are very nice and super helpful.

This is the best place around this area. Staff so friendly, I love it.
Winnie S. she is so nice and speak Chinese also.

I love how every time I come here I’m taking a trip back to Taiwan. Great food. Great drinks.

Mango smoothly is really good, a must try

I am a regular here. I come here almost daily. Similar to how people go to Starbucks, I come here. This place is fast and they are efficient. Drinks taste the same as the other Tea Time. The workers here are friendly too. Not to mention you get an upgrade when you check in.
I love the Jasmine Green Milk Tea, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and Thai Tea. I always get half sweet and less ice.

Young workers were friendly. Ordered a boba milk tea. Tapioca boba is nice, soft, and sweet. The milk tea, however, was diluted… not a fan. Maybe I’ll try their dishes next time.

I ordered a pork chop rice to go and all I got is a bone and 5 pieces of meat. I paid $ 8 for 5 pieces of meat. What’s worst is they touch my food with gloves that they were wearing when they washed the dishes.

After close inspection of the cups and decorations, I realized that Ten Rens, Tea Time, and Tea Station are all under the same company. A bit obvious now that I noticed it.
This place is in a little booth stand inside the supermarket. Very easy to spot and is conveniently located next to the bread section to grab some tea or food to go wth some bread.
When I came here for some tea, the server greeted me extremely brightly and tried to cheer me up when it was a bit obvious I was feeling well. I ordered my usual from the chain: osmanthus oolong milk tea light ice with egg pudding. Because he was the only person working beside a guy that was a cook, I didn’t expect the drinks to come out that fast even though we were the only ones. They did come out a bit slow though. Asa regular boba customer/​drinker, with bigger crowds, one will have to work faster.
Drink was well mixed, I didn’t mind that they are trying to decrease the amount of sugar in the drinks as it still tasted fine! Egg pudding was a bit odd on the texture but I will assume it was because I got a side section of the pudding and that was why it was a bit harder.
I do also enjoy that there is separate seating just for tea time so that you have a place to eat and relax!

Awesome place

I was planning to have lunch at this place yesterday (7÷21÷2015) but unfortunately, there was nobody working there and there was a sign that said CLOSED. I was there at 12:30 PM and it should have been open. I’ve been here one time before (6÷10÷2015 — see photos) and the food was decent. I had wanted to return to this place again to try other things on the menu so that I could write a substantial review. Unfortunately, I am not able to.

Update 7÷26÷2015:
When you look at a normal distribution, there are data points located at both ends of the spectrum. Would you trust a business if everyone gave it 5 stars within a three-​month period? Give it some time. Don’t fret and jump at calling a review «harsh»; instead, LISTEN to the feedback you get as a business and improve based on that information.
I write honest, informative reviews. Subjective yes, but definitely not harsh.

Update 9÷14÷2015:
I came back here a few more times to give them a chance. Service was prompt, the food was ok. The popcorn chicken batter tasted very powdery instead of crispy. The noodle soup which accompanied my bento box was ok. A bit bland, not enough veggies and seasoning. Pricing needs to be adjusted since this place is inside a supermarket, not a separate restaurant. Upgrading to 2 stars. Recommended with reservations.

Anna is super nice. She makes sure your order was done perfectly. I highly recommend having your snacks and drinks here.
Also, many people didn’t know this but they are associated with tenren tea. :)

Tea Time Express is a cute name and they serve Milk Tea drinks and lots of options of food that came to us quite quickly. I didn’t get any drink here because I am allergic to milk now so I rather not try it but they had a lot of cool looking drinks wish I was able to drink them!
Came here for lunch with my parents and we just ordered two different noodle dishes. I don’t know what the english name is but it is a popular dish with some pork and sauce on it. You mix it all together and then you take a big bite. Yum!
There wasn’t a lot of people here so if you want some quiet and relax time just hop into this place it is inside the 168 market on the left door. My parents do enjoy this place because it is quick and they like eating Asian food.

Staff is friendly and gives suggestions! Love it here. Cool place to just study or hang out with friends. I always get the gyoza, french fries and some type of drink.

Not bad. Ordered a Milk Green Tea Boba. $ 2.99. The boba was a bit soft and overcooked. But the tea was on point.
Make sure you check in to get a free large upgrade. And if you grocery shop, the reciept will take 10% off!

I’m a huge fan of Boba so while waiting in line at the restaurant next door, we decided to get our appetites started with some Boba. We ordered salted caramel, taro (a staple) and strawberry milk tea (something new we wanted to try).
My brother was impressed with their salted caramel but my dad and I were less than satisfied with our orders. The taro was a bit forgivable as it tasted like it should but I didn’t particularly like the taro clumps you would have to chew on as you sip your drink. The strawberry definitely is a no-​no. My dad had to return it (which they were more than willing to replace — plus for customer service). The drink was too sour and it was a bit short of runny and thick. I didn’t quite get the taste of it. Not the kind of drink that would satisfy your cravings at all…
On the plus side, as I had mentioned, the staff were friendly and helpful. When my brother was trying to decide which drink to order, the cashier let him taste a sample of the tea base of the drink he wasn’t familiar with. Then when we weren’t satisfied with one of our orders, they replaced it with a drink of our choice.
Overall it was an okay experience. I wouldn’t recommend trying something new here. If you’re craving for Boba around the area, just get sa safe order so you know what to expect :)

First thing you can tell is everyone is in training at this joint. The service is pretty good, very polite compared to other chinese places around this area. The waiting area is clean and spacious.
But I have to point out the size $ 4.50 for a popcorn chicken is kinda pricey… I would rather go to lollipop for a cheaper price but bigger portion.
The chicken is very dry and it’s obviously overcooked.
The drinks are very good, much better than many other tea places. I will come back for sure but not for the popcorn chicken

My wife ordered the milk icee black sugar with boba and egg pudding. I belive thats the name. This location is inside the 168 market. There is an area where customers may sit and chill for a bit.
The taste of the milk icee… verdict: the texture of the ice is very fine and smooth. The sweetness is light. The flavor reminds you of brown sugar. Then the boba is pretty much boba. And the egg pudding is difficult to taste because there are so many things going on with the drink.
We are satisfied with the product and price.

Great green milk tea, this place is located in the market and I got boba here during the soft opening. More food to come and the I really enjoyed the flavor and sweetness of the milk tea here. Pretty solid place and would come back again.
