“ Got the regular thai tea boba, it was delicious! Boba is perfectly chewy and the tea isnt too sweet. My friend got the matcha slush and she really enjoyed it! ”
“ You must try the popcorn chicken in pepper and salt flavor! The Galaxy Tea was delicious, not too sweet, and very refreshing. Tried the Lychee Tea and Taro Creme Brulee, this time, and both were delicious! Stop by for the chill vibes and good tunes. ”
“ I love Vivi's because I know I can find hot boba tea here in the cold winter months. Their menu is clearly marked to show what drinks the make hot, I tried the hot Vivi tea with Boba on my last visit, which I suppose is just a normal milk tea. Which is delicious nonetheless. The sitting area is cute and clean, I love the touches of pink. It's a comfortable place to enjoy a drink. I never tried the food here, but they have a lot of options. ”
“ First time ordering from Vivian bubble tea, it was midnight so didn’t really get too much big stuff so brought a curry popcorn chicken surprisingly it taste good, idk other people taste buds but love the curry strong taste! ”
“ We stopped by Vivi Bubble Tea while visiting Philadelphia’s Chinatown. The milk tea shop we originally wanted to visit was closed, so we came here without much expectation — and we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the brown sugar bubble milk tea and the salt & pepper popcorn chicken. The milk tea was good — creamy with a nice sweetness, and the boba had a pretty good chew. Not the best we’ve ever had, but definitely solid. The popcorn chicken, however, completely stole the show. Freshly fried, super crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with seasoning that hits just right — a perfect snack pairing with milk tea. We honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. Highly recommend ordering it if you come here! A great spot for a quick drink and a delicious bite when exploring Chinatown. We’d come back just for the popcorn chicken! ”
