The Tastiest Bubble Tea in Lexington

Drop In Tea

★★★★☆ 3.6 (9)

"Loved grabbing a quick to go boba from this cute little place. There is an easy to use screen for placing orders and the worker got right on our Strawberry bobas. It was delicious and the perfect amount of sugary. While you wait, customers are welcome to doodle with art supplies given and to hand their art on the collection on the walls. My friend and I drew a capybara and the woman working overheard us and gave us all free capybara stickers! I'm excited for my next time to come back and can't wait to show more friends this spot."

BobaTea

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (15) • $$

"I absolutely LOVE Boba Tea -- (the drink), and always try to get one whenever I can. This time, I was in for a pleasant suprise.BobaTea is a cozy storefront located in the Greenhills Plaza. The inside was very clean and inviting, complete with tables and chairs. The menu was fairly extensive and the owner(s) made sure almost everything had a description. I ordered a Strawberry Mango Mixed Fruit and a Mango Passionfruit for my wife. I added rainbow jellies to both, by the owner's recommendation. From the first sip to the last, I was in flavorful bliss.The flavors were smooth and refreshing. The jellies added a nice variety to the drink. My wife enjoyed her drink as well.I would encourage anyone who likes Boba Tea or refreshing fruity drinks to visit here."

Qlicious Bubble Tea & Pastries

★★★★★ 4.5 (29)

"What a cute spot in OTR!! If you like bubble tea, this is the place for you. My husband and I each got fruit tea bubble tea on a hot day and they were delicious. I love getting a mix of tapioca and fruit pop boba for a bit of variety. It's a small shop but service is super fast and friendly. Will definitely be back--they have an extensive menu!"

Happy Sugar

★★★★★ 4.9 (22)

"Cutest boba shop around-- the pink couches are from my dreams! Happy Sugar is brand new and surrounded by other great shops like TJ Maxx and Fresh Thyme Market. A perfect spot to grab a treat while shopping with the girls. I'm not a boba snob but I have had a big enough variety to spot a good milk tea. Happy Sugar is great! Brown Sugar milk teas can be overly sweet but not at HS, the milk/sugar/boba ratio is literally perfect! Aside from milk tea drinks they also offer sweet treats.Unfortunately, they're not offering Thai tea right now nor is online order working but I'm excited to watch Happy Sugar succeed!"

"Delicious Boba and exceptional owners!Friendly staff, lovely treats and fair pricing.Brava!"

Hokkaido Ramen and Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18)

"Service was quick and easy. Our server was friendly and helpful but didn't hover. The vibe was chill, verging on hip. The menu is pretty straightforward. Standard Ramen Shop fare done exceptionally well. You can get sushi. You can get the usual appetizers. But, this Chashu Don? It's comfort food made by someone who might actually care about me. It's a friend who loves you enough to toss something green on top but remains judgement free of the consequences of all that pork and rice in that bowl. It's the crispy charred bits and the salty, seasoned absolution you get when you're spilling out your soul while filling your belly with family that makes this dish perfect. Funny how food can make you feel like you're going to be okay. You can get that here."

Milk Jar Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8)

"So we walked in around an hour before closing. Not busy. Clean space. Fun combos. Ice cream was great. My one gripe, I couldn't do a different ice cream flavor in one of the rolls. So there isn't a BOY option, and I really wanted to switch out a flavor for another. Sad. I didn't get what I wanted, but it was pretty good ice cream. We had this same type of ice cream in London Canada and it was admittedly better to be able to build my own combo."

Food Lab

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"Food Lab is owned by the same people who own Star Sushi, which I LOVE! I'll start by saying that I'm not super into Korean food, so I figured I wouldn't be very impressed. We ordered the three Korean Corn Dogs which I figured I would like, I didn't. My friends son loved everything he tried, he's 7! My son didn't, also 7. My husband and I got ramen but it's was spicy! No warning, flavor was okay but too spicy for me to eat. Overall, if you like to try new foods, love a good ambience and need a new place, try it! I rated it high because it was nice, clean, friendly and cute. I'm not giving it a poor rating when I knew I wouldn't love it."

Bumble Bites

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Went back this week and everything is still just as lovely as last week. We tried the macaron this time: lemon, strawberry, Cookies n cream, and caramel. I thought the lemon and strawberry could have a stronger flavor but the cookies n cream and caramel were awesome. This is the second time they sold out of tapioca boba or the boba drinks so I'm hopeful we can try the more traditional boba options on our third try! Lovely space and staff! Can't wait to support again"

Hokkaido Ramen & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (25)

"The setting was great for us in the south end. A nice warm winter evening with friendly staff and lots of light. However, as the west sun set we had to move to another table. I welcome the sunshine though. Now on to the food. My wife and I had a fried oyster appetizer and they were great. Fresh tasting and hot. The sauce was very complementary and I'll have to ask next time what it is.My wife got Bang Bang shrimp and loved the batter they were dipped in. I had the Spicy Ramen. The broth is made at the restaurant according to the server. The Ramen, bean sprouts, bok choy, soft boiled egg and pork all complimented each other. You can order it with regular heat, spicy or fire. I went with regular and the chili paste was garnished along the edge of the bowl. I enjoyed it, but wonder about the other heat as this was all I could take - and I love spicy."

Ling Ling Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (77) • $

"well priced dumplings and shrimp fried rice!!! Great service, I even got a free sprite with my meal. New go to."

Milk Jar Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (239) • $$

"I'm seriously addicted to the Milk Jar Cafe. My favorite is Ceylon with Milk. I love that you can adjust things like sweetness, ice level, and of course add ons like boba.I do prefer the one in Anderson because of the store atmosphere, but the people who work at both are equally lovely and kind."

"Brand new smoothie & lunch spot in St. Matthews Station! Woman-owned & API-owned Featuring fresh pressed juices, Smoothies with frozen fruit instead of ice, and small bites."

Milk Jar Mason

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28)

"My youngest has wanted to visit this shop for some time. We were in the area for an appointment, so I figured it was a good time to check it out.It is a nice little coffee/boba shop. There is a huge selection of drinks and also rolled ice cream. We decided to go with a drink and we both had the Dirty Milk Boba. It was pretty good for the first drink I had from the business. It is pretty much mild, Boba, and Brown Sugar. We found this place interesting and will not hesitate to return when in the area. I look forward to trying another one of their specialty drinks."

Aji Sushi and Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (110) • $$

"Sushi establishment located in the okolona community of Louisville Kentucky. Located just off outer loop right where it meets Shepherdsville road. I've been eyeballing this place for awhile. My oldest daughter and wife love sushi and we frequent senor iguanas across the street very frequently so This place has caught our eye. From the exterior it looks kinda ran down. They didn't have a legit store sign for a long time so that was off putting. Yesterday on a Friday evening. Me my wife and my oldest and youngest daughters finally made the trip here. The inside is decorated very lovely and nice. Stark contrast from the outside. We received solid service here as well. We started with 4 sushi rolls. The crab Rangoon roll which may have been the best sushi I've ever tasted. Highly recommended. We also got a yum yum roll which was very good as well. The other two rolls we got was a California roll and my oldest got a crab tower. The crab tower was really cool and servers different from other sushi's. My oldest loved it. I took a sample and it was very good. I did not try the California roll but my wife said it was good. Was on par with other California rolls she has Had. For entree I got fried rice with egg and it was solid. My wife and daughter got some soups. Udon noodle with shrimp and a shrimp and veggie ramen. Both were huge and extravagant looking. They both were fans. Only complaint is the breaded shrimp was soggy and that was a weird taste to them. Overall very good place and I'm glad we finally made the trip. Can't always judge a place by its exterior. Kind of a hole in the wall sushi place from the outside. But very nice and tasty on the inside."

Las Margaritas Of Danville

"Awesome as always. Thanks to the amazing service once again. Tonight we both ordered taco meals."

Milk Jar Café

★★★★★ 4.5 (69)

"My family and I have loved Milk Jar for the past couple years. Their quality and service has always been amazing! However, we were always really excited to get their amazing poke & are now very disappointed that they have discontinued the "meal" portion of their establishment. To the milk jar owners, PLEASE open up a poke place in West Chester we would love to support it!!"

Boba Tea Time

★★★★☆ 3.8 (16)

"This Boba Tea shop is amazing! I am new to the area and have found my new go-to spot for boba tea. I've had both the Thai milk tea with regular boba and the Taro Milk tea with blueberry boba. Both are absolutely delicious! The drinks had really good flavor and were the perfect amount of sweetness for me. (I like it on the sweeter side). The staff has been consistently friendly and attentive on both of my visits, and has made good recommendations for drinks/boba! This shop is so cute and fits the area perfectly. I cannot wait to bring my friends from Dayton here!"

Bento Asian Kitchen + Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (151) • $$

"I am addicted to Bento Asian Kitchen's Jalapeño Chicken. I seriously crave this dish way too much!!! If you love hot & spicy deliciousness you MUST go to Bento and order Jalapeño Chicken. Located in Middletown Bento is located close to Crumble Cookie, Feeders Supply Walmart. The staff are so nice and it's super clean. I like how they bring your food in to go containers because the amount is so much. Just put your lid on and take off. Perfect. My son ordered Orange Chicken with Lo Mein which was quite tasty as well. Don't forget to grab a fortune cookie on your way out. I'll be back soon I'm sure. I can't stay away!"

Bramble Bubbly

"Delicious teas! I went when they first opened and had a great experience! I would highly recommend any of their really fruity teas."

Namnam Cafe

"This is a tiny place with the very best authentic Vietnamese food anywhere! The food is always delicious and they routinely remember us and bring extra treats to the table."

Roll Over Rolled Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 3.9 (9)

"Got the donut boat with the salted caramel. Absolutely loved! And the pup cup is already gone so I think there two happy campers here."

Sarang

★★★★☆ 4.4 (235) • $$

"Sarang is a lovely compact, family-owned Korean restaurant perched on the corner of Bardstown and Eastern Parkway. The menu is available both as a large, overhead display in picture form and in trifold fliers, depending on how one best prefers to make decisions.Order at the counter, then choose one of the tables at which to await the delights which will soon arrive. The staff is quite knowledgeable about the menu items, including which contain a variety of potential allergens/common foods people avoid. Of note - one of the kimchis is vegan (cucumber) and they do offer a vegan ramyun which you should definitely try. As they were pretty steady the night we dined they hadj run out of jap chae, so I opted for veganized bibimbap (yes tofu, no egg). The veggie and kim-mari mandoo are also vegan, however the soondobu jigae is made with oyster sauce, so keep that in mind if trying to stay plant based.Pricing is quite reasonable for the quality and the amount of food, and the owner is just delightful. Although I'm sad I didn't get to try the jap chae this time, it does give me an excellent reason to return."

I Love Noods

★★★★☆ 4.1 (30)

"We have been back a couple of times since my original review. The hiccups of the first time have been corrected and there is even a sign with clear instructions when you enter now.The food is always really good and prepared fresh. The drinks are crafted to perfection. You can tell that the team preparing the items cares about the quality. This is a new favorite spot and we will definitely be back!"

Boba Angel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (23)

"Came by on a cold quiet Monday after a long workday. They had just opened up shop for 1 month. The store was empty and I was greeted by a pleasant/cheerful cashier. There was a odd industrial aroma walking into the store that was neither pleasant nor foul. An electic assortment of furniture was laid out for guests to lounge. The owner is a Hong Kong native so surely the boba tea had to be exceptional, or so I thought.I decided on 1/2 sugar Hong style milk tea with boba. The drink was prepared luke warm in a store-themed container. The tapioca was the most indeed very flavorful boba I could tell it was fresh. However, some of the balls were tad bit firm and they did stick together in the cup making it difficult to sip through the straw. Boba is supposed to have a super soft and chewy texture and compliment the drink it sits, this was not the case. The actual drink itself was flat, lacked flavor or was masked by a prominant black tea note. There was no detectable creaminess or silkiness from the milk.Overall, despite the wonderful service/cashier, the ambiance, decor and drink leaves much to be desired if this place hopes to be the defacto boba spot for the local youth in Cincinnati."

Thai Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (40) • $$

"It's taken me way too long to try Thai Tea House but I finally got there and loved it!! The service was excellent as you were greeted first thing and instructed on how to order. The food was sooo good. I wanted to try tofu so I got the fried tofu appetizer and the massaman curry with chicken for my meal. I also tried the passion fruit soda, which I really liked. I found out I do enjoy tofu so I might try the curry next time with tofu instead of chicken because I loved the curry and figured I might as well combine the two. This was also waaaay too much food for one person but I love trying new things at new to me places. The massaman curry has peanuts in it, which I also loved. I didn't get any heat on mine because I'm a wimp but it definitely had great flavor. My family will definitely be going back."

Kabuki Hibachi & Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32) • $$

"I am SO excited to have this so close to home! Although I have frequented the location out on 10th, dare I say this hibachi even beats them! For only the 2nd day open, they have it figured out! First of all - monkey brains - who knew? Avocado stuffed with crab and spicy tuna, tempura fried and drizzled with yum yum sauce. Soooooo gooooood!!!Miso soup was hot and flavorful (and I got my order to go! It was still hot when I got home!) I chose the shrimp and scallop hibachi with noodles - IYKYK. These noodles are BOMB!! Amazing location - can't wait to have sushi in front of the big front window that rolls up in the summer. Thank you for sharing your yummies in downtown Jeff!!!"

Bumble Bites

★★★★★ 4.5 (21)

"Boba in Kentucky ftw! Traveling for work. Stumbled upon this place. Had a boba. Not at all different from what I've been drinking back home."

Daboba

★★★★★ 4.9 (17)

"I teas are out of this world good! Get the cheese topping too. I've had the boba tea with mango and cheese topping; I've also gotten the brown sugar matcha tea. Both were very delicious. The sandwiches are cold too. The tea is made fresh every day. The service was fast, friendly and because I waited for the tea to be made they sized my drink up to a large. The restaurant is very clean."

Tsaocha

★★★★★ 4.5 (37)

"Tried it fit the first time. Tastes pretty good. Staff was friendly. It's nice quaint place"

Basil Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (10)

"This was one of the many restaurants at the Florence Mall Foodcourt. There are even 3 or 4 Asian type joints there but we decided to try out some Thai flavours. I tried 2 different ones with one being the Red Chili Chicken and the other being the Bang Bang Chicken. The Bang Bang was the more unique and for me tastier of the 2 dishes with the chicken having decent enough flavour. The Red Chili one tasted ok but had no discernable chili flavour and wasn't very different from an indistinguishable Asian chicken flavour from any other Asian buffet I've ever had. The service was fine but neither of these dishes does anything to stand out from the crowd even at a food court. A good meal that filled our bellies but nothing special either."

Tea Cha Boba Tea And Sweets

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Cute space. Helpful staff. We've enjoyed a few of the sweet crepes and a few of the savory options. The crepes would be filling for one person. Some of the other dishes (wontons or satay etc) were smaller portions but full of flavor,"
