I-Tea SR

even though this is a boba place, the ramen is a must try here!!! i was pleasantly surprised with the large portions and just how delicious the ramen was! i got the tonkotsu ramen. the broth was savory and rich. the meat was deliciously tender and the egg was perfectly soft boiled. hit the spot during the cold season! also enjoyed the mango sago drink i ordered too. nice staff and chill atmosphere. also love the moral wall!! definitely coming back to try more on the menu

The Crab Tonkotsu was the first ramen I've had with a soft shell crab. It's reasonably priced especially with the whole soft shell crab. The broth was lighter than other ramens I've had but it was still tasty with full pork flavor. I like the texture of the ramen, not too soft but not too chewy either. The chashu pork was soft. It also had a whole egg in it. The Black Garlic Ramen was also pretty good. It had a toasty garlicky flavor with the hint of bitterness. Full of umami flavor. Not a fan of takoyaki but at least this one was not too fishy. Would pass the calamari, though. The picture had the calamari pieces which did not match what was served that were breaded rings. It had the popcorn chicken seasoning.The Mango Sango was really good and it's a must try.

Short review since we've only been here twice. First time we were here, we were actually surprised since we didn't know that there was an i-tea here in San Jose! We went in just to grab a couple of drinks and we noticed that they also had food other than snacks, so we decided to come back another time to try the food. We really liked our drinks and it's not a surprise since i-tea always has great drinks! The one that we usually go to is in Milpitas, but sometimes the drinks would take over half an hour to come out or there's a long line of people. So we're happy that we moved in an area where there's a newer spot nearby! The second time we came here, we decided to try the ramen! I went through other reviews to see what other people thought and was happy to see that they were suggesting people to actually try the ramen. When we got there we ordered the tonkatsu ramen and black garlic ramen. The black garlic ramen was really good and the garlic wasn't too overpowering, which is an issue. I've experienced at other places that sell black garlic ramen. The tonkatsu ramen was pretty good too, but I think I liked the black garlic ramen more! I really like that. They give three pieces of chashu pork and I also really like that. The pork looks like it's grilled a little bit before being put in the ramen.So far we really like their drinks and the ramen is also really good! So we'll probably try some snacks next time. But overall we'll keep coming here, especially since we're nearby.

5 stars just for the owner being so kind! He made sure to check in on his customers and appreciates feedback on how to make their menu items better. I believe this is a franchise for I-Tea but they serve some different menu items here such a ramen and udon! We ordered a Sencha Tea, since this tea was brew to order it was pretty watery. I would skip on this drink. Their other teas such as the black tea, oolong, and green teas are premade and ready to go in the barrels so I suspect these ones would taste stronger. I should've just opted to try one of those instead. Similar to the main I-Tea location however, I was never a fan of their drinks and mainly just went for their food items. As for food, we ordered the black garlic ramen and it was only $13 and a good portion. The soft boiled egg was cooked to perfection and the soup base was flavorful. I just wished there was slight more topping and I let the owner know and he was very understanding. For the price of the ramen, you do get a bang for your buck for the portion size.As for ambiance there is plenty of seating. They have a beautiful mural of San Jose in the hallway to the restroom. The wall right as you enter though is pretty empty so I think they could definitely add something to that. Overall a good experience, I always love to support businesses that are open to customer feedback and willing to improve. I'll definitely come back to try their other menu items!

Cute shop with lots of space; best of all, NORMAL boba shop prices!! compared to other boba shops in the area its easily 2 dollars cheaper for each drink or food item. we got the taiwanese milk tea, wintermelon milk tea, and popcorn chicken, and they were all great! workers were nice and even helped sub oat milk after we forgot to add it to our order. definitely coming back

Boba is as good as the other location but better, because the prices here are cheaper than the one near silver creek.Pretty much my go to boba if I don't want to go far to the other special boba locations. Good place to play cards and hang with your friends.They have a kiosk unlike the other spot, so the service is quick.

I definitely want to like this place, but I don't think I would come back for their ramen dinner in the future again. It's a relatively new place so the ambiance is pretty nice! We came in on a Friday night before going to see a concert but the place was pretty empty. On the bright side, the service is really nice but I think the food itself wasn't really worth the value. There are definitely other options nearby that will be better. I wish there were more toppings and maybe more meat as well.However! The drinks are actually pretty decent so if you were to go here maybe try out their drinks. I want to say their employees are also super nice, it's just the dinner entrees that need some improvement. I think the snacks are pretty good though! I had some takoyaki and that was the highlight of the solid food served there.

Came here for pop chicken and got served a sample of their avocado smoothie which was 10/10!! Love this spot as it's close to my house finally! It's tucked away which is good for me but I don't wanna gate keep this awesome location so y'all should stop by here for sure! ESP if you love garlic like me. I don't like my drinks too sweet so this was PURRRFECT! The avocado tasted so fresh. Thanks for the amazing service and delicious snackies!!

Excellent service and excellent ramen!! I really recommend this place for boba and ramen and I even left my purse and a sweet man ran out to give it to me! Miso ramen and spicy kimchi ramen is my fav

the food is delicious , I ate Ramen and the bubble tea Mamgo it's my favorite, definitely is a great place . The service it's excellent! congrats
