What Clients Say

Yummy flavors and Taiwanese style fluffy and soft tiny shaved ice which was so good and melted in my mouth. They have added injeolmi (Korean bean nutty based powder) bingsu with fruit like strawberries or melon or mango. But there was so little injeolmi powder and after seeing pics of some other reviews I thought they definitely did not put enough for a regular sized bingsu for $12.95. They have good customizable bubble teas about $6.50 as a base then the upcharge for bubbles or popping or crystal etc. They have a good variety of bubbles and all good and up charges of like $0,75. They also sell corn dogs and Korean style chicken. Seating indoors and it's warm inside. They have toys gifts for points earned when you put your phone number in. So add your number when you order. You can order at the front or the kiosk. They had 80s music on on 3-22-25 and it was nice. This is a Chain store.

July 2025: Honeydew bingsu - soooo yummy! 😋 October 2024 Mango bingsu- shave ice 😋 2022: Grand opening 💕 our new fav place! 😂 The peach fruit milk tea even without sugar was amazing with the fruit topping and crystal jellies. The peach oolong tea is different milk tea. No fruit topping so sweetness is necessary albeit at 30% is sufficient. Osmanthus milk tea also stellar Rose oolong’s tea flavor is awesome. The king of oolong was pretty yum The brown sugar was quite sweet but gorgeous to behold. The wings are perfectly crispy and the soy garlic minus the sugar of BonChon but the coating is yum. The secret sauce is a bit more tangier. The garlic soy is literal. 😂 Hard to go wrong with the well fried and better quality of wings than most places. Popcorn chicken is the middle between Taiwan night market light potato starched and the panko crust of Americanized versions. The seasoning can be uneven at times. A bit pricey at $11.95 for a snack but if you go at opening the oil is fresher so it is better crisp . Egg waffle: they got the batter formula right, now the temperature control can be tricky. We prefer crisper texture but the sweetness of the original was pretty perfect. The pink velvet waffle is a bit sweeter and tastier 😆 Well done 👍

This Tsaocaa location is usually my go-to bubble tea and bingsoo place for the suburbs! I love their avocado coconut slush and other milk tea variations. The big mango bingsoo was very satisfying with multiple layers of surprise. The mango bits were nice and big and surprisingly fresh and delicious! I always visit when I come to H-mart or Daiso (newly opened)! This plaza has plenty of parking in the lot!

Tea was delicious. And the packaging is very nice. Had the strawberry bingsu with the shredded milk ice and OMG it was so good. They even have a kiosk for ordering. Great place to visit after going to the King Spa.
