I really had a great experience with Jay. It was awesome being there. I would definitely recommend. I had the Spicy Beef, came in a big bowl and was super good.

This location is fine but could be better. We only ever get the milk teas. Regardless of what we get, they are never ice cold. Even with all the ice they put in the cup it somehow is room temperature. The flavors are also lackluster as if they don’t put any sugar in them.
Service is also incredibly slow. Even if you mobile order a drink, they don’t seem to start making it until you show up. It’s confusing how service is as slow as it is when there’s never any customers inside. They do DoorDash orders, yes, but there’s always a lady at the register when we walk in not doing anything until someone places an in store order. Not sure if she’s solely doing drinks but most places don’t take 5-10 minutes to make two drinks.

Would not recommend.
It didn’t feel very sanitary. The cup I got seemed a bit dirty and worn off. And the guy was wearing slippers bare feet and maybe sweatpants/pajamas like he just woke up or something
The drink looked NOTHING like the pictures.
Also the actual price they charged me was higher than the menu.

This shop is an absolute gem if you want the ultimate boba experience in the CWE area! With an impressive selection of food and boba drinks, it’s impossible not to find something that hits the spot. The ambiance is not just clean; it’s inviting and energizing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The staff? They’re a breath of fresh air—always friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with friends.
Let me tell you, the food is nothing short of phenomenal, and the drinks? Pure bliss! When I was living in CWE, this was my go-to spot after those long shifts at the hospital. It was conveniently just a quick 0.1-mile stroll from my apartment, and winding down with some delicious boba was the highlight of my day. Trust me, you’re missing out if you haven’t been here yet!
P.S. My fave orders are: sesame balls, chicken karaage, beef teriyaki udon, and the smashed taro brown sugar boba milk (highly recommended by me).

Service was friendly and fast, atmosphere was comfortable and clean. Food was tasty and seems to be fresh my wife and I enjoyed the pork tonkatsu, my son had the tempura shrimp&rice bowl. We also had the strawberry tea with mango popping Boba. All i can say is that I cannot wait to go back and enjoy more dishes and flavors.

I had the rice at Hitea during my lunch visit. The dish was straightforward, with a good mix of ingredients. The rice was cooked well. It’s a decent option if you’re looking for something filling and uncomplicated. The portion size was appropriate for a midday meal. Overall, it’s a reasonable choice if you’re in the area and want something quick and easy.

Liked the presentation of the food, with the amazing options of customizing the milk tea. Loved the starters, for what surprised me the most was how fast the food was made(i was the only person in store, so maybe that played a key role). Will come back again to try a lunch box. Owners are friendly

If you’re craving Japanese cuisine, which I was, check out this spot. Located in the Central West End, Hitea offers many options such as ramen, rice bowls bento boxes, and boba tea.
Hi had no idea this was even here. The vibe is so cute. It’s a decorated like a courtyard. The girl working was friendly and helpful.
We ordered the edamame which was perfectly salted, the crispy spring rolls and the delicious shrimp fried rice. Everything was made fresh. #stlouispescatarianapproved
Heather had their fresh milk tea and said it was great. I’m not a fan of boba tea. Wish I was.

It was a bit warmer inside than expected, especially for such an already hot day, but the employees were kind, helpful, and friendly. I didn’t have the food from this particular location in the cwe, but I’ll be trying it out in the near future. As with most Hi-Tea locations, the fruit teas are lovely, and the environment was eye-catching.
