Taichi Bubble Tea, Ramen and Poke Bowl - Decatur -Food CA (Near Decatur)

2 /5 Filipp Nesterov: We came here to try the ramen and a rice bowl (kind of like a poke bowl). Honestly, I wouldn’t come back here for the food. I can’t say anything about their drinks or bubble tea—they might be good—but the ramen and poke bowl definitely weren’t great. On the plus side, I liked that you can build your bowl on a digital screen instead of talking to a cashier. But the downside is, when there’s a line behind you, it feels like you’re being rushed to order, and you don’t really get the chance to look through the options properly. So yeah, pros and cons. As for the food—my bowl came out with the rice basically clumped into one giant sticky ball on one side of the dish. It wasn’t spread out at all. I had to break chunks off with a fork and eat it like meat, which really killed the experience for me. I was expecting loose rice I could mix with everything else, but it just didn’t happen. Tried with chopsticks, then with a fork—no luck. Another thing: the toppings, like masago, pickled onion or radish (don’t remember exactly), were all buried at the bottom instead of being on top, like you usually see. So I had to dig through all the greens and everything else just to get to them. Super inconvenient. My friend ordered ramen—either shoyu or tonkotsu, can’t remember which—and he said the broth was really watery, not rich at all. It didn’t feel like they actually cook it there. The noodles also tasted pretty basic, not really like ramen noodles you’d expect at a proper spot. So yeah, if you’re really craving ramen or a poke bowl, I personally wouldn’t recommend this place. Maybe their bubble tea is good—I can’t say—but for food, I wouldn’t go back.

5 /5 The Travel Reviewer: This is some of the best boba weve had, even having tried it all around Asia. Had the smoothies and were perfect. Big size and full of flavor and pearls. Food is quite abundant for price and tasty. The tempura were super crunchy. Family owned and strongly recommend supporting this shop in Decatur, would love to see them thrive and stick around!

2 /5 Johannes Mahlum: Was really excited with the reviews and menu options. But my Matcha milk tea w/red bean was gross. Sickly sweet despite being ordered as less sweet. Something off with the taste. Couldnt take more than a few sips. My friend ordered regular taichi tea and had the opposite problem of it being not sweet enough. Not sure whats going on with the ingredients or the process that would make them turn out different. Maybe the red bean is in a weird sweet sauce? Thatd be unexpected. Ive had a lot of milk tea around the world and never had such an untasty expirience. Really disappointed

5 /5 Vivian Chi: My partner and I came to visit Atlanta on a business trip. Our hotel is in Decatur, so we stopped by this place. I liked the place so much that I came here on my own two days after the initial visit. I love how you can add as many toppings to the poke bowl as you want, and there is option for brown rice. The bubble tea is not drown in syrup like other places. I am especially fond of the pumpkin cakes, which is a new addition to the menu. Thank you for the meals!

5 /5 Ha ci gen Xia: Actually, I don’t like a seafood, but they’re a Poké ball with some spice mayo sauce I filling the so good you can have some drink together and with the poke bowl or Ramen is so good. I hope everybody can try with the Poké ball or Ramen or some milk when cold you drink some hot soup you feeling so nice
