Jj Boba - The Energy Corridor, Houston

Absolutely delicious boba drinks with unique and scrumptious flavors! My only wish is that they had mango jelly but not a problem!

The mango green tea is my favorite tea. They are always fast and only got my order wrong once...out of 4 times I've been. Adjust the sweetness of the tea when you get it without ice because otherwise, it feels super syrupy. The crispy chicken is not good. It tastes like cinnamon and when I asked for it spicy, it was just red. No spicy flavor. It would been 5 stars for my tea, but I have to give it 3 on account of the bad chicken and wrong order.

I’ve always enjoyed visiting this place, and the quality has remained consistently excellent since the name change and even after the pandemic. Their fruit varieties without milk tea are always refreshing, particularly the Peach Passion Green Tea in the middle and the Lychee Black Tea on the right. Normally, I'm a fan of boba milk tea, but I make an exception for JJ Boba. The boba is fantastic—sweet and wonderfully chewy. Their popcorn chicken is also great. While everything is delicious, some of their teas can be quite sweet, so I’d recommend opting for half sugar, especially with the Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Latte shown on the left.

I ordered a Thai milk tea with boba, and it was perfectly sweet—just the right amount, not too sugary. I appreciated that I could customize the sweetness to my liking. I also tried a sample of their popcorn chicken, which was excellent! The service was impressively quick; I placed my order at 11 am and received it in under 10 minutes.

I was disappointed to see Cha For Tea close due to the pandemic, as it was my go-to boba spot near work. However, I’m happy to report that JJ Boba has taken over the location under new ownership. You can expect the same high-quality boba and food as before. The boba was fresh and still warm!
