“ Was visiting family in Houston from LA and they told me I had to try the crispy chicken nuggets here! It did not disappoint!! Their popcorn chicken is crispy and the chicken is very juicy. You have to try it eating it with the basil too, it adds another level of flavor and aromatics to it. The vibes are cute and lots of tables and chairs to sit and catch up with friends. The staff were super friendly and they shared that the chicken recipe is the original owners recipe from Taiwan! Super authentic and homey~ I would definitely come again! ”

“ One of the original teahouse/tapioca places in Houston. More recently changed ownership. The current owner worked here for over 15 years and then bought the business. While the interior has changed/been upgraded, one thing still remains, the consistency of the taste. While I hadn't gone in a while since I haven't been coming out to Chinatown as often, coming back really reminded me of the simpler times before marriage and the kids. Prices are still very fair and it's still a great place to drink, eat and visit with friends. I definitely recommend their mango tea and of course their tap crispy chicken nuggets. ”

“ Came to tapioca house after a big and heavy lunch, and it was just what we needed. They have a huge selection of drinks and snacks/foods to choose from. I got the strawberry coconut cream blend with tapioca. Their tapioca was amazing - chewy and firm. The drink had a nice blend of both the strawberry and coconut. No flavor was over powering the other, and it wasn't too sweet, but it was light and refreshing. Plenty of booths inside for comfortable seating. Very cozy. Service was quick and friendly. They require a $5 minimum purchase with card. The lot in the plaza has good amounts of parking, but I can imagine it getting packed during the busy hours since there are so many businesses in the area. ”

“ Stopped in for a mango green tea. Tasted fresh and served fast. Lots of seating inside and is clean. Servers were very friendly and attentive. ”

“ An affordable and underrated spot to eat at! The beef in their beef noodle soup was super tender; I could cut it with a plastic spoon. They give a generous amount of noodles too, although their broth could be more flavorful. The chicken nuggets are seasoned well and I liked how they cooked their green beans. Lavender milk tea was underwhelming... not a strong enough floral flavor. ”

“ Always always a solid boba cafe shop. The popcorn chicken stayed crispy after my 30 mins drive! The drink is always delicious. I hope this place will forever be in business. By far, no other boba cafe have their food like this place! ”

“ Wanted to update my review to day this place holds so many memories growing up in Houston. It was my tapioca hot spot before any of the other spots. The OG and so happy they are still around and thriving. The food is still spot on. The spicy chicken combo is still the same and hits the spot. The drinks are still perfect. The place has been remodeled and updated, for those who've been coming for over a decade will know the significant change. I bring my kids here now and they too love the food. Love you Tapioca House! ”

“ My favorite chicken nuggets in town! A combo chicken nugget meal (a small boba, chicken nuggets, rice and green beans) is $10, which is a steal if you're already getting drink because that alone is over $3. The nuggets always come out so crispy. You also get to choose a spiciness level - I always choose 5 and it's really not that spicy. The scallion pancakes are thicker than I imagined but still delicious and the crispy tofu was not as crispy as the nuggets but still had a great flavor. The curry chicken meal was also yummy and very filling! The milk tea half sugar boba is my other go-to but this time they were out of tapioca so I got it with coffee jelly and I do not recommend - the coffee jelly was a little harder than I would've liked. The strawberry smoothie was super yummy and with lychee jellies inside it was a nice dessert! ”
