Review Summary

Chicha San Chen is widely regarded as a premier destination for bubble tea in Montreal, consistently praised for its high-quality, authentic tea brewed fresh to order using sophisticated equipment rather than powdered mixes. Many customers highlight the flavorful, aromatic nature of the teas and the superior texture of the honey-infused tapioca pearls, noting that the menu allows for customizable sweetness and ice levels. While the shop is frequently described as a small, takeaway-focused venue with no indoor seating and occasional long wait times, most reviewers find the premium experience and attentive service worth the price. Although some guests have reported inconsistent service experiences or limited availability of certain flavors, the general consensus celebrates the establishment as a standout spot in Chinatown that delivers a sophisticated and refreshing beverage experience.

This famous bubble tea shop lives up to the expectation! All their tea is made fresh using their sleek teaspresso machine. I really enjoyed my dong ding oolong tea with fresh milk. I chose 30% sugar, & it still had a nice bit of sweetness paired with a refreshing, toasty aroma. A consistent spot for tasty tea in Chinatown!

I've been a loyal customer at Chicha Sanchen Montreal for a long time & genuinely love the boba here which is exactly why I feel compelled to leave this review.

Unfortunately, my recent visit today was disappointing due to the staff's attitude & lack of service you can see at the picture. When customers entered the store, the staff member on duty did not acknowledge us or prepare to take orders. Instead, she ignored both myself & other customers waiting in line, leaving us standing for an unreasonably long time without any communication.

This kind of poor service attitude is frustrating, especially as a regular customer who keeps coming back. A simple acknowledgment a smile, a'I'll be right with you' goes a long way. Customers should never feel invisible when walking into your store.

I hope the management takes this feedback seriously & provides proper customer service training to the team. I truly want to keep supporting this business, but the experience needs to improve.

I went there today & honestly had a bad experience. The staff seemed unfriendly & were joking around instead of paying attention to customers. My drink was also very bland & not like before. It felt like they didn't really care about the customers.

Amazing bubble tea. The bubbles are actually a bit honey flavored, the best ones I've tasted.
Pity they don't have any room for sitting down. It's just to-go.

If you like bubble tea but more like a'tea' person than a'topping' person,you would like this place. I ordered the green tea with tapioca pearls. It came out with amazing,flavourful & strong aroma of the tea instead of sugary syrupy artificial flavour. They also have an interesting selection of tea that I would love the try more next time. & they don't be cheap on tapioca pearls in my drink which is another bonus point lol. Service is fast,friendly,helpful & attentive.
Thank you so much for the service & the great drink!
Sincerely
Tracy

The tea has really good flavor, but the price isnt worth it. Plus, we had to wait so long just to order when it wasnt that busy.

I've tasted almost every bubble tea spot in montreal & I can tell you this place is just on another level. The bubble teas are so savoury, it's incredibly fresh in flavour, & the tea itself tastes so authentic! I love this place so much, & I return every now & then when I can!

Very very good service! I arrived not knowing what to choose from. I saw the regular green tea that has an award, but I wasn't sure as I usually stick to red teas. It was delicious!! The service was great also!!!!😌🎉🎉
