What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Among the growing sea of bubble tea shops and casual eateries, Tea Hill quietly stands out. Not because it tries too hard, but because it delivers something far more valuable: authenticity. From the first bite of their Taiwanese popcorn chicken to the final sip of jasmine green milk tea, this place captures the essence of Taiwan with impressive clarity. The popcorn chicken is a highlight. Each piece arrives hot, golden, and perfectly crisp. The seasoning is subtle, allowing the marinated chicken to shine without overpowering it. What elevates the dish even further is the ability to customize. You can add extra spicy or salt and pepper seasoning, and both options enhance the flavor without losing the traditional character. This level of choice is not only satisfying but also shows a real understanding of how to serve street food well. The jasmine green milk tea is equally memorable. It is fragrant and lightly tart, with just the right amount of sweetness. The flavor is clean and familiar to anyone who knows real Taiwanese milk tea. It does not try to be trendy or overly sweet. Instead, it focuses on delivering a balanced, nostalgic experience. Yes, the prices are on the higher side. But what you are paying for is more than just a snack or drink. You are getting carefully prepared food with quality ingredients and an authentic touch that is increasingly rare. In this case, the cost feels justified. One thing that was weird was the smell inside; there was a bit of a bathroomy sewery smell that made me not want to stay for the food. This detracted from the otherwise positive atmosphere. Overall, Tea Hill succeeds where many others fall short. It does not just offer Taiwanese-inspired food. It offers the real thing, thoughtfully prepared and served with care. Whether you are missing the flavors of home or curious about what true Taiwanese street food tastes like, Tea Hill is worth the visit. Just get your order to go for the best experience!"
"This is a four star review instead of a five, because even though they have Boba and other toppings, they don’t have the popping topping (the little round balls that are filled with liquid and pop in your mouth). I think that would be a wonderful addition to the menu. But they do have the traditional Boba. All that said, this is an extensive menu. They have cheese caps and lots of fruit teas and plenty of caffeinated choices plus they also have snacks. The prices are also very good! The last time we were here, we had a mango man, and that was so refreshing! If they brought in the fun popping topping this would definitely be a 5 Star Place!"
"Tea Hill has become my favorite stop for a refreshing beverage!! Their drinks and food are phenomenal and fairly priced. Lots of room to sit and work or catch up with friends. Expansive and unique menu. Love all of it!"
"I had to leave a review! I visited for the first time this weekend and really loved the food! I got the teriyaki chicken & rice plate with a craft limeade (and shared a pancake with my party), and everything was so good, including the sauce served with the meal. Also! While I absolutely hate broccoli, I really liked how it was prepared here — definitely taking inspiration for when I attempt to recreate this. Great atmosphere. I’m already ready to come back to Chapel Hill for this place."
"Best boba spot on franklin imo. All the drinks i’ve tried are good and it’s always clean in there. My go to is the mango matcha but there’s a very big menu!"
"My wife and I grabbed some beverages from here recently and enjoyed ourselves! We came kind of late on a weekend night so the place was pretty quiet, but I..."
