Shincha Tea - San Jose

This was our first time to Shincha and I was pleasantly surprised with the specialty drinks menu. It was hard to pick but I got Dragonwell which has hojicha and it was not too sweet. The chocolate syrup and the jello makes a great combo. I'd love to come back to try their other specialty drinks.

Ordered 2x Sunset Breeze and 2x Just Peachy and both drinks were delicious. Jason was quick to make my drink and he seemed very friendly. I almost left my wallet at the store but Jason was ran to return it to me before i left. 10/10 taste 10/10 service

Delicious popcorn chicken. The taro milk tea I got was delicious and had a nice flavor, but it was a little too sweet. Overall, this place was amazing and the food and drinks were tasty.

Pretty decent tea place. Their milk teas are pretty good but their signature teas are th3 best. They also have great fresh tea and lots of snack foods including popcorn chicken, pot stickers, fries and flat bread sandwiches. If you want to get something super delicious but a little filling definitely try out the red winterberry. The Helena is pretty good too as well as the honey milk tea.

This is my new favorite boba spot. I never really gave it a second glance whenever I passed, because, I mean, it's in between Planned Parenthood and Chuck E Cheese! Lol. However, after some prodding from my partner we stopped in here one Saturday afternoon. I ordered an Osmanthus Rush, and my partner ordered a Winterberry Snow. The cashier was very friendly and also agreed to use my reusable boba jar with a stainless steel straw I had brought(save the turtles folks! Our drinks cams out after about 3 minutes. My Osmanthus was delicious and flavorful, without being overly sweet. Also, the combination of jellies and boba they added was spot on and complimented each other well. My partner's Winterberry Snow was also delicious, and weirdly reminded me of butterbeer and rice krispies, in a good way. We spent about an hour entertaining ourselves playing battleship and sipping on our teas. The next week, we returned and ordered the same exact drinks, which were once again, really bomb, and we also orders two different flavors of jumbo chicken wings. I ordered the smokey beer chicken wings, and my partner orsered the spicy miso flavor. They were both served up after about 8 minutes, and were smoking hot. I appreciated that they clearly didn't skimp on the sauce. Though the chicken itself was cooked really well and tender, I did not like my beer wings at all. The flavor just really tasted like the wings had been dipped in beer and it was kind of gross. My partner's spicy miso wings were very delicious though, and luckily, since they were so generous with the sauce, I was able to use the sauce that had pooled in the bottom of his tray on my wings and salvage them. Im0'm eager to try their other chicken wings though, since like I said, the chicken itself was cooked really well, it was just that the sauce(for the Smokey Beer was weird. I do prefer this as my regular boba spot from now on though.
