Chicha San Chen est décrite comme une adresse de bubble tea de haute qualité à Montréal, avec des thés frais et des arômes authentiques et des perles particulièrement moelleuses. Les avis soulignent la variété des choix et la possibilité de personnaliser le thé, le lait et le niveau de sucre, tout en louant un service généralement attentif. Certains retours évoquent des prix élevés, des files d'attente et peu de places assises, ce qui peut rendre l'expérience moins pratique. Dans l'ensemble, malgré quelques soucis de service ou d'erreur de commande signalés occasionnellement, l'ensemble des retours place le lieu parmi les meilleures adresses de bubble tea en ville, en particulier pour les thés verts, oolong et taro.
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!
The service is extremely poor. If possible, I don't even want to give a heart.
Before ordering, my friend asked the waiter if the taro ball were made of fresh taro. She didn't know but said yes & after I told my partner that it was not made of fresh taro, she took out a box full of taro balls & showed it to us?In fact, what she needed was taro puree?So she reconsidered what to order. I thought she was Chinese, so I was afraid that she would misunderstand me & explain it to my partner. I described it in Chinese, but she didn't understand, but their attitude was obviously strongly impatient & urgent after I talked to them in Chinese (but there was no one in the store at this moment). After I read the menu carefully, I found that there was taro puree that my partner needed. I wanted to confirm with them. As a result, another waiter who made tea talked to me directly. If you need to order, wait for a while, in a very uncomfortable & impatient tone. Finally, about the tea, my partner said less ice, but it turned out to be a full cup of ice. I even suspect that it was intentional. Even if such a milk tea shop is opened in Taiwan, as a compatriot, I will not go there again.

I've tried the same brand bubble tea from LA & Taiwan. The bubble tea from both of the shops were really good but this time it tasted not good & was of less good quality that I couldn't finish. & the service was really bad. The clerk is Asian & I'm Asian too, so I ordered in mandarin & she just ignored me & replied in English. Of course she doesn't have to know mandarin. Either way she could have asked other colleagues for help or replied that she couldn't speak mandarin but she didn't & just ignored me.
We stumbled upon this bubble tea shop, which was tiny with no it was no seats. We weren't too sure what to expect but when we went to order, the expertise was incredible & so were the options. You have your choice of multiple days of which some of the names are quite amusing see the pictures. We are asked what type of tea we want whether we wanted dairy & what kind then whether we wanted it hot or cold & whether we want it, the chewy bubbles which are like gummy bears but way healthier. When they went to make it, I just thought they would just pour hot water with some powder, but oh my God it was quite a process with the very sophisticated machine that looked like a double espresso maker. The order was quite expertly prepared & you can see parts of this from the video where I posted When we tried the drink. It was extremely interesting because it was cold at the bottom with a few ice cubes & then it was hot at the top with the tea. There aren't any seats here, but I highly recommend this as a quick coffee alternative experience for those who like bubble tea.
If you're looking for an authentic bubble tea place, this is definitely your go-to place. This bubble tea shop is underrated deserves more attention & popularity. The tea is brewed freshly from tea leaves, the bubbles are freshly cooked & thus they are soft & chewy. This makes best bubble tea you can order, contrary to those powdery bubble teas from elsewhere. Very friend staff.
I had the taro king with green tea & honey osmanthus oolong with crystal boba. Liked the green tea but the boba was hard & taro a bit chunky still. It was hard to get through the straw. The osmanthus oolong tea flavor was masked by the crystal boba so didn't really get much tea flavor there. It is pricey & took awhile to come out as they brew the tea fresh & there were a couple of people ahead of me. Definitely don't recommend if you're in a rush. The shop is very small & it gets warm in there. Presentation is very cute. I'd probably come back for a different green tea but really wish the boba wasn't hard.

the bubble tea here is brewed with fresh tea, as I entered the small shop you could smell the freshness of the tea, the bubbles were flavorful & not too soggy, had the honey osmanthus oolong tea with bubble, was very fresh will come back to try more flavors next time :)
Since the closing of one of our favorite boba shops, we had been longing for bubble tea with the perfect chewiness. After trying Chicha Sanchen for the first time, it quickly became one of our favorite spots for boba ! While the place & menu are a bit small, the Bubble Volcano was excellent & exactly what we were looking for.
That was one of the best & most intricate cup of bubble tea I have ever had. Had the regular bubble tea, but it was not plain. Cold flavorful tea, warm soft sweet tapioca. Very creamy the tea was very fresh. The cup was beautiful. The tea pourers very professional. Thank you! The only thing is the shop decor isn't cute & it's very small & the corner noisy.
No seating provided. It is a takeout shop with excellent quality bubble tea brew in front of your eyes with raw ingredients. The shop allows the customers to make orders tailored to personal taste & sweetness ( or sugarless) . This is a good selling point .

My recent visit to the bubble tea shop was just okay. While the ambiance was pleasant & the shop was clean, I found the overall experience to be somewhat underwhelming. One of the main drawbacks was the limited selection of flavors available. The menu was mostly floral tea-based options, which might appeal to some, but didn't quite hit the mark for me. I was hoping for a wider variety to choose from, including some classic & fruity flavors.
The teas did taste good. However, it is a small shop, & gets crowded easily. Management also needs to work on communication between staff. My partner was really looking forward to trying the milk bubble tea, & ordered it with oat milk. However, after waiting for a long time, we were told that they don't have oat milk & was forced to change his order so he had to pick something random quickly. As it's our first time here, it was hard to choose. He did like it afterwards, but not what he was expecting to get, & disappointing as we should've been told right away that they don't have oat milk in stock. The taro was good as they use real taro but it hid the tea taste.
Oh my god! This bubble tea shop exceeded all my expectations. Purchased two teas, one for myself & one for my husband but I ended up drinking both 😅. Each tea is made to measure according to your own preferences, so fresh & delicious! My new favorite bubble tea shop!
