Second visit to the business. Did not disappoint. My shrimp chow mein was very tasty although I would have preferred more veggies. And the egg rolls were good, a bit over fried. My son enjoyed his steak bowl but being a teenager, it was not enough so he finished up my chow main which did have more noodles than I could have eaten. He also enjoyed his caramel Boba. He gave me a taste of it and it was quite good! Beautiful presentation of the food to go. It is a small place, however a good place to eat!

The people here are always so nice, and the Boba Milk Tea is pretty good too. I love to come here and eat Ramen. It is a bit pricey, but really delicious!!

If youre missing the red bull drinks from Dutch bros, look no further. Tower has a drink called Bull addict and is my favorite drink by far. I also like that they have a tofu item for me but I hope they add vegan options later on.

This chic little tea place has some awesome food and teas obviously. Got to meet the owners and they were so nice and welcoming! Overall, love the atmosphere and it’s right across from Fresno City College and next to the textbook store. When you first drive by it you may think there’s no parking, but there is, it’s actually an small entrance for you to park at the back of the shop.

I ordered the streak and noodles. Asked for the steak medium. It came out very red, and basically unseasoned. I ended up seasoning and cooking the steak, and it was okay... Noodles were mid. It cost 15 me bucks! Way too expensive for what I got.

Boba and smoothies! Nice staff!! Just limited parking and dining area. Great for students at FCC. Smoothies were tasty! Have not tried their food menu yet. Prices are ok! Definitely try if you are nearby.

Amazing food! Tried the chicken ramen and loved it, big portions though I split mine between two people. The drinks were also amazing I tried & highly recommend the kiwi-licious tea!

I loved everything about this place. The food was delicious and very fresh. I got 2 of their specialty teas, both with boba, and they were also very delicious. I would reccomend Tower Tea to anyone and everyone!

I bought an order of spicy miso and they only filled the cup of soup up half way. The miso was ok, but the price for 14 dollars for miso was outrageous. I would definitely go back if it was cheaper.

Crispy, not overly glazed orange chicken with unique tangy flavor. Egg rolls were hot, crispy and not soggy how they should be.

Best Boba in Fresno.The boba is always fresh and never frozen. We buy like once a week. The owner is super nice and hella cool. They treat us like family. Always clean inside. My youngest loves the slushies with pearls. The food is also very good. Popcorn chicken and garlic fries are awesome. The fried rice is also very good. They have a stamp card too. Every tenth drink is free!

The food wasnt all that great and the drinks was alright. But there was traffic coming and going from there so others might like it. The price of the items were a bit much for me.

Slowly becoming one of my favorite spots. Sometimes their boba can be a little hit and miss, but, at its lowest, its still ok. Their menu is great. And its a nice place to hang out with friends or study even if you have to park a 1/2 a block away. My favorite, the Orangeberry Smoothie. a refreshing blend of orange and strewberry. Super YUM!

I love there food its always so fresh and hot still I dont live far so I call for pick up and its always like 15mins which is great to me food fantastic I literally have there number on speed dial because there amazing. Great food great drinks great service never had a complaint. I think I only did get onions on something I asked for none on my rice bowl but I went back because I saw the mistake and they took care of it and aside from that 1 time they have always been super great. In there defense I do speak kind of softly so maybe they didnt hear me say it that time lol but I love there food and service and closeness to where I live 100% one of my favorite places to order from

Im actually quite disappointed... They placed my order in a To-Go Box thinking I was going to walk away with that delicious aroma without even trying their food fresh of the grill!!?? Uhm... Im eating that on the floor idc. Great Ambiance and amueic. Very friendly and Superb Customer Service. Also, I really appreciate boba places that let you try out the sugar lvl first cuz every Boba place is built different! Ty J! Shoutout to Crystal, E & Jonathan!!!

I really enjoy their food and their boba’s! I started coming here when I attended FCC, and it became my favorite go-to spot. I’ve had many boba places, and I will say that they have the best taro milk tea in my opinion and fruit teas. I really recommend their spicy popcorn chicken with fries!

Review №29

2021-08-31 07:00:20

Amazing customer service and great food. They make good drinks and I always love their boba. Their dishes are fantastic too, I usually order the garlic noodles and spring rolls or the mango habanero chicken.

One of the best places in Fresno for Asian-styled food and teas in Fresno in my opinion. They have excellent customer service, good prices, and are quick with your order! I recommend getting the brown sugar tea with boba and strawberry popping pearls!

The BESTEST Boba and vegetarian egg rolls. The staff is incredibly helpful and so nice to chat with. Orders are always accurate and wonderfully made.

Young, amateurish staff. I kept giving them the look like I would like extra service and they seem to look at me and then look away. I still tipped them well. But they are young. Food is good.

2020-08-04 22:53:37

I ordered a Taro Milk Tea, spring rolls, eggs rolls, and chicken and garlic noodles. The milk tea was purple flavored not Taro, it just tasted like sweet milk. Spring rolls were good but the peanut sauce had no flavor. Egg rolls had no flavor and the sauce that came with it had not flavor. Chicken and garlic noodles had no flavor and the garlic sauce that came on the side had no flavor.Does this place even have salt and pepper in the kitchen?Everything was very very bland. I was truly excited to see something like this around the Tower area but I was very very disappointed in the food and drink I received.

Review №34

2021-05-12 15:47:41

Definitely one of my favorite boba places in town. Try the Garlic Noodles, they are super tasty. The popcorn chicken is also quite good. Lavender milk tea is my favorite.

2021-08-10 22:23:23

I ordered food through doordash and was missing a bowl. I contacted both the driver and Tower Tea. The driver said they did not take the bowl of course, but Tower Tea also doesnt use a sticker or any kind of tampering seal. When I called instead of helping or anything useful the girl said she tied the bag and did not forget to put it in the bag. She said they tie the bag to prevent any tampering. I was told to report and go down and get the bowl replaced. Once down there I was told there was no manager there and that the manager said we had to repay for the bowl. No kind of customer service and when advising about using a sticker they brushed it off and gave us a cold salmon bowl that was probably the one they initially forgot.

Nice atmosphere for students. Food didnt take too long and the customer service was great. Price range is affordable for college students. Convenient especially because its across the street. Tiny place if you want to dine in but there are also tables outside. I ordered the springs rolls, chicken teriyaki, and Thai tea. The menu is simple with different options to choose from chicken, beef, tofu, shrimp. My eyes was hungrier than my stomach so I was trying hard not to pick everything on the menu lol. I decided to order a simple bowl and appetizer. Will try more when I come by again since Im a student at FCC. Very clean and neat place. Super cute and nice decor. The kitchen is open so you can see them cooking your meal and blending your teas. When I tried the spring rolls, OMG, its the best spring rolls from a restaurant that I ever had! Theyre generous with the meat, not too much noodle, adequate amount of veggies. A lot of places usually have too much noodle and veggies, you cant even taste any flavor. They even added a rolled up fried eggroll wrap for crunchiness! Highly recommended! The sauce was delicious as Well! Thai tea was just like how I like it. I enjoyed it so much, I forgot about my teriyaki chicken! I also love the reusable and sturdy container they have to go. Good to reuse and food wont be leaking all over the place. Time for the teriyaki chicken... I love how unique the sauce is... it wasnt too powering with sweetness or saltiness. The taste was just right. Doesnt taste like store bought. Very original! Chicken, veggies, and rice were cooked just right. All I can say is this place is great and i can only praise good things about them. Loved it! Give it a try if youre around! Its affordable for students and delicious!

My new regular spot for me. Been looking all over Tower and FCC for just some simple chicken and rice because I’m a clean eater and they offer so much more with fresh ingredients. Got their red bull and strawberry slush and it’s the perfect boost. Feels nice to go back to class with no stomach issues because of the healthy lunch I’ve had. No more driving to chipotle anymore, I get a nice walk from campus & I’m looking forward to coming back again.

Amazing place!! Located by FCC so great for students! Drinks taste great and they even serve (im guessing japanese style) food! They were completely crowded when I went but they still managed to keep up with orders. They deserve a bigger building and for everyone to try!

The egg rolls are really good, also the teas are good the one I had was the sunset peach. The boba I got I didn’t like it was too sweet. However, the chow mien was not good perhaps the nastiest chow mien I ever tasted.

A young guy took our order he was super nice & helpful. It was our first time here and didn’t know what kind of smoothie to get and he actually gave us some samples which was cool. The place is also very clean so that’s a plus. Really recommend it.

Review №42

The garlic Parmesan fries are very good. I have tried other dishes and honestly the teriyaki chicken is not good. The place is always super clean and nice. Haven’t tasted the drinks unfortunately.

Review №47

Its in a tiny area, with little parking but I love that it is across campus. Its a good boba treat for when I crave for some boba tea. My favorite is their honeydew smoothie! Love the richness it has in flavor.

Review №48

2019-01-30 17:13:56

Their boba taste so good, perfect kind of sweetness and great texture to it. I tried other boba places and their boba was hard and tasteless. I either get Thai Tea smoothie with boba, Mango Tango with lychee jelly, or Sunset Peach with assorted jelly😍

Review №49

2019-10-24 20:50:44

The lady who takes orders has an attitude and the service is pretty good. There are days where they will bring you the food or you have to go get it yourself when eating in. The food is alright depends on what you get. Overall an okay place to go too.

2019-03-18 23:05:51

I ordered the Tofu Bowl and Dirty Tea. The tofu tasted great, although the broccoli was almost expired. Nothing too noticeable though. For anybody who doesnt understand Drink Speak like me, a dirty tea is coffee mixed with tea and I, personally, wouldnt recommend it

Review №52

2019-08-17 15:12:47

Review №55

2019-03-18 22:11:09

The lavender milk tea was good. The service was fast and there was free wifi so thats also a plus. The only thing I would not like about it would be that it doesnt serve rose milk tea and that the seating is a little cramped so you cant bring in a big party unless youre ok with sitting outside.

Review №56
