Zhu’s Tea

Cute little to go boba and sushi place in Chinatown. I discovered Zhu's Tea through Instagram reels! Our food didn't come out super fast, probably because they were making everything fresh in the back.You wouldn't believe that little storefront could make sushi but everything was really fresh and nicely seasoned. The sushi rice used for our bowls and roll was lovely. Fish quality was not suspicious and my mango sago pomelo drink was also really quality. I hope with the influx of customers that they will get more help for future orders as I saw a line form right behind me.

During our visit to SF, we were recommended by a local to stop by and support this mom and pop shop for fresh sushi and tea. Unfortunately, it was so good I did not capture too many pictures lol My son had an order of a California Roll which he enjoyed. My sister had the lunch special of a California Roll plus 5 piece Nigiri and I had a Spicy Tuna and California Hand Roll. The food was delicious and fresh which we accompanied with a Jumbo Fruit Tea that was so refreshing. Plus The service was great. The owner was friendly and the ambience was intimate. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit! I can't wait to stop by again soon! A 10/10 must try!

Had lunch here today at this surprisingly delicious hole-in-the-wall local business. My husband and I both got the salmon poke bowls (about $30 total for 2 poke bowls). Pros:- Really fresh salmon fish! Tasted almost like poke from Hawaii.- Order came out in less than 10 mins, which we ate inside.- Staff was all really nice- Funny Asian gameshows playing in the background- Pretty decent quantity - I was pretty full after eating the whole bowl- Very casual environment, good for grab and go boba!Cons:- don't drive here, parking is really difficult.- Super small interior, only seats 4 inside (2 counters with 2 seats each), with some small stools outside if you want to sit and eat really quicklyOverall, a great place to pick up a quick meal, mostly to-go style. Not good for if you're trying to sit down and eat a long meal, especially if you have a party of more than 2 people. Super fresh tasting fish!

I saw Zhu's on Instagram, profiled by a Chinatown food account. I was in the mood for boba on New Year's Day after tennis, and Zhu's Tea was open and on-the-way! I ordered a medium Jasmine Milk Tea with boba and the boba was thick, chewy, and a good consistency. The jasmine could've been mixed in a bit more. Service was great, they opened last month. I'll be back to try som of their sushi! Nice addition to the area and block. Love the decor and service, too.

I was pleasantly surprised about the sushi at Waverly Place in Chinatown. The California rolls are delicious. It was a good treat. It's a takeout spot.

Great mom and pop boba shop in Chinatown. I always get the Mango Green Tea there but their fruit teas across the board are great.The place also sells sushi and other small eats if you're hungry.

Zhu's Tea is located in one of the alleyways of Chinatown. The exterior pops out a bit with the purple color scheme and lit up signage, while the interior is simple and small. Parking is horrible here, I was lucky to had found street parking about a block away. I like the boba and sushi concept because I love both a lot, and I love the logo and name (I am assuming that because Zhu sounds like pig in Chinese, they have a pig logo). The service was decent - there were no other customers here, so the drinks come out fairly quickly, but it will take a little bit more time, if you ordered sushi as well. I tried their Jasmine Milk Tea with boba, Mango Pomelo Sago, and Sake Maki to snack on. For the milk tea - it had a stronger tea taste, I wished it would had been creamier and a tad sweeter. The mango sago was tasty - it was refreshing and sweet. The sake rolls were just decent - it was not as fresh as it could had been, but it was a filling little snack. Overall, it is a cute little shop with decent drinks and sushi.

Took our daughter here for her 10th birthday dinner, it's. A hole in the wall but the food was fresh and delicious, the boba drinks were the best we've ever had. Only two seats at the window inside and a couple small tables outside. Parking was the biggest hassle but it's the city so that is to be expected. Staff was friendly.

I came here after seeing that they have a yakut drink so I tried their strawberry yakut sparking drink and it was amazing! It has fresh strawberries which was refreshing. The cup is durable and easy to use. I asked for less ice and it finally wasn't filled with ice like other shops do. For the first time I felt like it actually had a perfect amount of ice for me. It wasn't too sweet which was good. I didn't try their toppings but I'd love to try this place next time. The service was good and the lady in front was very nice. The inside is super small so be aware. I thought it was interesting that they served sushi so it was unique. Id recommend you guys to try! The prices were good Id say pretty average. The place is pretty clean as well. I came here on a weekend and it wasn't busy at all I think I was the only person there during my ten minute visit so show some love!

Love supporting our local family businesses.The food they serve here are fresh and tastes delicious! The drinks are also flavorful and are not watered down like other places.
