Taichi Bubble Tea, Ramen and Poke Bowl - New Haven

Taichi offers a vast variety of fruit teas. My go to is the passionfruit tea but this time I tried the green apple fruit tea. It was pretty tasty! My favorite part of ordering here is that I get to choose the level of sweetness for my drink. This is perfect because I don’t have a huge sweet tooth. In addition to this being one of places I regularly get boba, I love the cup sleeve events that are hosted here. I enjoy spending my afternoons and evenings here every chance I get.

Whenever I’m in New Haven, I always come here and the quality has always been great each and every time which is pretty rare nowadays. I make my own poke bowl/burrito (a huge plus is that they have so many ingredient options) and get the jasmine milk tea. They have a little arcade area in the back with claw machines and I actually won a little prize this time around 🙂

Pretty standard milk tea. If you're not into sweet drinks, 50% sugar may be the sweet spot for you. Where Taichi really shines is it's ambiance. Lots of space and light for studying students, including a lofted area with comfortable couches. Very stylish.

This place is soo good!! They have great brown sugar boba. It has the perfect amount of syrup and sweetness. After trying multiple boba places in the NH area, this is definitely my favorite one. Their food is also really good. I got the chicken rice box and it was really good, the portion is pretty generous. The downside is that there’s not much sauce on the rice bowl. The inside is beautiful and spacious, it’s a great spot to study for sure. Overall, this place is really good and I can’t wait to come back.

This spot is my first sampling of ramen and bubble tea in Connecticut. Ramen was pretty good. Enjoyed the menma and egg. The chasu was nicely crisp on the edges. 👍 The cafe has a BOGO deal for large drinks* so I decided to get a Thai iced tea and coconut milk tea. The Thai iced was okay. Haven't tried the coconut milk tea yet. Would definitely stop by here again if I'm in the area (I'm from Austin TX) if I get a hankering for ramen. The layout of this place is perfectly suited for the student body. * You have to share photos/videos of this cafe to get the BOGO.

A huge thank you to Taichi for collaborating with the Yale Veritas Search to offer a Yale student winner their own "celebrity boba card" (one free daily boba for the semester). It has been a pleasure to work them in this collaboration, and to highlight a great New Haven boba location with a really amazing staff (with a special thanks to Ken)! We encourage everyone to try them out!

Stopped by Taichi tonight while I was in the area! I couldn’t believe how big the space was and how many seating options there were. The pork tonkotsu ramen was good, and my strawberry milk tea satisfied my craving for boba. My mom was with me and enjoyed the brown sugar boba tea.
