Best Boba tea I have had in Chinatown for sure! The customer service is sublime✨They take their time with each customer to explain the menu thoroughly and try to match the tea with a flavor that compliments your palate. This was my first experience with Boba tea and I'm glad I decided to try it on a whim.The experience is personalized to each individual. The decor inside is beautiful and there is a sanitation station as soon as you enter. The flavor of the tea is pure and free of any added and unnecessary sugars. It is absolutely delicious and I feel is a true display of the beauty of Chinatown💜 If you are in Chinatown for tea, this is a must stop.
Loved their onigiri, freshly and clamly prepared in front of you. Only 1 customer/group allowed at a time, which means you wait quite a bit, but I appreciate the concept and the food is worth the wait.
Want to taste what you had ordered? Then this is the spot. I've been passing by this tea shop and noticed there's always a line, so one day I didn't see anyone waiting and decided to try it out.
The shop is small but decorated with lots of cute figurines. They only allow 1 party at a time because it is quite tight inside. The selection is vast, so you can definitely find something. The thing I noticed that I dont see at other tea shops is that you can choose the intensity of the tea. Other shops are just ice and sugar level selections. After you decide on your order, they would make it and let you taste what you order to see if the levels are good before pouring it into the full cup.
I did enjoy what I got, which was the Jasmine green tea, because I like something milky, so paired with the default, strong tea was perfect since green tea is light. The milk was not overbearing, so I still was able to taste the tea. Would I come back? I would, but not if I see a line out the door. If you do try it out, let me know what you think, and they also have onigiri if you want some snacks to go with your tea.

A friend recommended this place because of their super cheap brick toast! Teado is a small shop located in NYC Chinatown. They had a line...only one group could order at a time and you have to wait for that group to receive their order. Though the line was only 4-5 groups (9ish people), I still waited 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. I passed by around a Wednesday afternoon and saw no wait though
My condensed french toast ($3.50) was absolutely worth the wait. It was toasted perfectly and not burnt. They added just the right amount of condensed milk so it wasn't soggy. I also tried their oolong milk tea since I guess people also wait for drinks only. It was good but nothing special, would definitely come back for the french toast if there's no line lol.

Small space but has a lot of personality.
Decent amount of variety.
I ordered a M coffee milk tea with red bean toppings. I enjoyed the drink a lot.
Service was quick which is nice seems like a busy spot.

They offer an extremely polite service that does not rush into taking orders. They serve you to taste before making your tea, which is a service that most places do not offer.
Unfortunately the bobas were too small and I didn't get enough coffee flavor in my coffee based drink.

This was truly the best bubble tea EXPERIENCE I've ever had in my life.
They take one person/group at a time, thus the long wait. But it's completely worth it. Once in, they ask you what type of bubble tea you like and guide you through their vast menu.
They prepare your bubba, and make you taste a sample to make sure you like it, or to see if there's anything you want to adjust (sweetness, consistency).
The ingredients we're soo fresh and the bubba tasted great.
We also took the onigiri, which are freshly made in front of you. We couldn't decide which flavor to get so the employee was kind enough to make one of each and wrote on the package what each flavor was. She also included gloves so we could eat them without dirtying our hands, which was so thoughtful.
The whole thing was a lovely experience. This place is a must try if you're in Chinatown.

Interesting experience for a simple Bubble Tea. Excellent service and customized tea for your taste buds.
You didn't like the sample that's made to your order, simply say so and they will change it to make your needs.
Expect to see a bit of wait as they only let one party at a time into the store to serve. All the wait is worth it though.
If you are a party of more than 4, it may be hard to fit in the place. Of course you all get to take out your orders.
