One Tea House Falls Church

Good boba and drinks. Drinks that would normally come with boba did not as the standard and there was an uncharged of $0.60 to add it to your drink. The drinks were delicious but I wish I didn't have to pay to add boba to a drink that should come with it, especially if that was the picture of the drink portrays on the menu. You can order at the counter or at a kiosk. They also serve food but we did not try any.

Tofu Pudding + herbal jelly + taro ball dessert The dessert is not bad but not great. It was a great place to sit down and hang out with friends. It’s clean.

We were having lunch nearby and decided to try the bubble tea at this place for a change. Our milk teas were just okay and nothing particularly noteworthy. Despite this, the place was clean, and the service was acceptable.

We are regular customers at this cafe, and usually enjoy their wonderfully authentic Taiwanese desserts. However, today we had a horrible experience. We ordered our usual herbal jelly dessert. Firstly, even though the place was not crowded, it took almost 20 minutes for the dessert to be served. When I asked the ladies at the counter why it was taking so long, the they were initially dismissive, and just said that it was coming soon. When the dessert arrived, I found that the dessert had no jelly in it and it was just black syrup with some toppings. This is not what this dessert usually looks like. When I asked the counter ladies, they insisted that it was the hot version of the herbal jelly dessert. As the ladies were not Asians, it was difficult to convince them how the Asian desert is supposed to be. They just said this was how their bosses instructed them to serve the dessert. We had to be firm with them in order to get them to re-prepare the dessert and they did so with much reluctance. And no one apologized! I do not blame the servers for this issue - the blame should lie squarely with the bosses and owners of this cafe because they failed to train their servers well. Servers attitudes were lackadaisical and owners did not ensure the quality and consistency of the desserts. Customers go to a dessert place expecting an enjoyable experience and certainly do not want to be sparring with the service staff. The owners need to do better.

Delicious fresh, quality tea. I have only gotten two drinks so far (Kumquat Honey Fruit Tea and a random butterfly effect drink) and the kumquat was really fresh. I will need to try the other drinks but that kumquat drink is really good. The only complaint is that they're slow. Depending on the amount of orders they get, it could take approximately 15 minutes or more to complete. They still need to work on that but luckily you can order online and avoid the wait if you're not in the area yet. Edit (04/12/2023): Tried their Thai tea, 3Q, and fresh milk taro on different occasions. Quality is on point and fresh. The wait time has decreased and they have been getting more efficient. Love this place!

I actually get food here more than I get their tea so this review is primarily for their food lol I like their popcorn chicken and braised pork rice. I did not like their beef noodle soup though.

So excited to be able to have taiwanese fried chicken, my favorite dishes. The food was good but the store open very late during my visit at 1.30pm. The rice menu was good. Very recommended.

This place has delicious food and drinks! I like these snack size meals but also can be filling. Drinks are very pretty and satisfying to drink. Very limited seating available during covid. Parking provided by Eden center.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I went here all the time when I lived in the area, and I always make sure to come back whenever I'm in town. The boba drinks are always good, my favorites are the taro milk tea and the passion fruit green tea. On top of yummy drinks, they also have delicious good! The popcorn chicken is a must try. I order the pepper salt flavor and get a side of rice as well! The service and atmosphere are great as well! The workers are always polite, patient and kind. The interior is cute and offers a good amount of seating. Out of all the boba places I've tried this one has been my favorite. I definitely recommended giving it a try!

Great crispy popcorn chicken. I had: - Popcorn chicken (salt & pepper) rice bowl - rice bowl was okay. Better to just get popcorn chicken itself. - Popcorn chicken (garlic) - good crispiness, more flavorful than salt & pepper chicken, IMO.

Stopped by for boba after a trip to the Asian grocery store next door and tried the Japanese Matcha Milk Tea, 50% sweetness with boba, no ice which was about ~$7. The matcha flavor was strong and fragrant, and the 50% sweetness was perfect for me. The boba were chewy and nice texture-wise but did not have much flavor. I got it to-go, but there was seating with tables inside with a bright and airy feel. They do serve food which I saw a decent number of people order while waiting for my drink. My order was prepared quickly and staff were friendly. Overall, was a great place to stop by for pick-me up drink!

We went here for the buy 2 get 1 free deal for drinks. We got 2 3Q milk teas and one lychee cosmo tea. The 3Q milk tea was very watery and didn't really have a tea taste. The lychee cosmo looked pretty, but it was overly sweet. I probably won't be returning back

Food quality - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Convenience/ambiance - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Love this spot! It always hits! The teas are very fresh, made with high quality ingredients and milk (as a boba expert, I know!). I also am a fan of their boba as I think it has the perfect texture. Their food is also a hit and not overpriced at all. Their $7 popcorn chicken comes in generous portions, and I've enjoyed everything I've gotten there. Would definitely recommend (plus, always nice to enjoy Eden Center). I've been to multiple boba spots in Eden Center, and this is my favorite.

I had high hopes because their drinks are not as sugary and fake as other places, and their boba was fresh. I feel like this is so petty to complain about but they gave us regular straws that were not big enough for the boba. After 5 sips it was completely clogged and I couldn't use the straw. I was shopping so I didn't want to rip the top open and walk around with it that way. I had to just leave it in the car until I went home.

Favorite boba and popcorn chicken place in the area! So good and always quick and good service :)

Cute boba shop with lots of food options and some indoor seating! I got black milk tea but I felt like it didn't have much tea flavor and was pretty forgettable tbh 2/5 Beef noodle soup 2/5 it had one of the softest and juiciest beef and the noodles were bouncy and taste handmade! But I couldn't eat it because the soup felt so off. Maybe too much soy sauce? It just didn't taste right and made me so sad since the noodles and beef were good

My wife typically always like getting a tea from Eden center. She'll cycle between this place, tea dm, mr wish and vivi tea. The tea at this place is alright, though I'm not the best judge cause they'll are pretty mediocre to me. That being said the food though was surprisingly good and the price was very amenable. Got it for the first time not too long ago and will definitely be back. For less than $12 you can get a healthy portion of popcorn chicken along with a hearty helping of rice, veggies, and half egg. It's a great lunch and even dinner option. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

It's cute! The food options aren't ample, vegetarian options even less so, and I wouldn't say this is a place to go to eat healthy, though it's doable. I actually had to eliminate bubble tea from my diet because my blood sugar is too high and that stuff is basically a sugar bomb, so I drank just a plain old unsweetened black tea here and it was really nice because their underlying tea ingredient choices are good and they know how to brew it without it getting bitter, so I didn't feel like I was being deprived. I like that they let you customize your sweetness level really easily from the touchscreen. The fried tofu was pretty good and a pretty decent portion for the price. They have a few different onigiri options and who doesn't love onigiri - I got the one with shrimp tempura and spicy mayo (also not great for blood sugar but I have to live a little). My fiance got fried chicken and said it was good. A friend got a bubble tea and a different onigiri and was happy. It's hard to say much about service because this is an order-at-the counter place and they have a touch-screen menu for ordering, as well, so we didn't interact with staff much. Food came out fast. There was a little bit of a communication issue when my finance wanted a different sauce for his chicken since he hates mayo, but once I held up the sauce I got with my tofu and explained we wanted another they got it and were happy to assist. Likewise, for ambiance, it's a casual, order-at-the-counter place, but perfectly cute. Large tables. We were able to sit with a friend and linger for a while and the touchscreen ordering makes it easy to go order more if you want, so it's a good place to just meet to hang out. Obviously I love that it's in the Eden Center because there is parking and you can come here and also knock out other errands/food enjoyment in one day. My only meaningful complaint is that they don't make their bathroom available to patrons so you have to go inside the mall to find the bathroom there. It's a decent bathroom, but a schlep.

One Tea House is my favorite place to go to for delicious bubble tea and Taiwanese street food. They make the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The latest new drink is the super delicious Matcha/ Coconut drink. So tasty! Also, the customer service is excellent. I am coming back for the new delicious Matcha/Coconut drink for sure.

The black sesame latte ($4 for a medium as of 2/12/2024) is pretty sweet, and I like how they fill it up to the top even if you ask for less ice. You can definitely taste the black sesame, but it's overall pretty okay in terms of quality/standard. It's a very minimal and clean place to do work. Service is fast. It's not a must try but if you're craving milk tea, this is a good place to go.

I actually get food here more than I get their tea so this review is primarily for their food lol I like their popcorn chicken and braised pork rice. I did not like their beef noodle soup though.

Depending on what day you go, service can be a bit slow. The last time I went, I had to wait 20 mins for the popcorn chicken and a few drinks, but atleast it was fresh. I always get the Kumquat green tea here and it never misses!

I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken dish and was surprised with how generous the portion is compared to other establishments I've been to. Food was served hot, we dined in and waited a little bit. Boba was pretty good. I'll definitely come back when I'm craving some popcorn chicken.

I ordered, and I highly recommend getting, the large Mango Fresh Yogurt drink with extra Mango Jelly. The drink was incredibly refreshing in this hot weather. I really appreciated the fact that the Greek yogurt was not too tart or too sweet; it was just right! The combination of the crystal boba, the dried mango pieces, and the mango jelly all worked together perfectly and paired really well with the yogurt. I especially loved that the Mango Jellies were star-shaped!

This is a cool shop with friendly staff, and it seems to have more snack options than a lot of the local bubble tea places! I stopped by to try a grapefruit tea but unfortunately that was no longer on the menu. I was pleased with the peach fruit tea that I got instead, and I was impressed that One Tea has a kiosk for remote ordering. What a good feature during the pandemic! I'll be back to try some of the snacks later this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing whether managers improve interiors or bring back that grapefruit tea in the hot summer weather.

Small cafe located inside Eden Center that serves Taiwanese cafe food. Taro Milk Tea and Classic Milk Tea: Drinks tasted watered down and milky - I liked taro more. The bubbles had good chew! Popcorn Chicken (Pepper Salt): Super yummy! The chicken was well seasoned - garlic and basil flavors. Perfectly crispy outside and tender inside. I liked the spicy mayo a lot! Crispy Fish Fillet: Fish was perfectly salted with a soft inside and crispy outside. Rice Bowl: - Braised Pork: Super oily and not well marinated which caused it to taste really porky. - Tea Egg: Super dark in color but not that flavorful. I would definitely skip the rice bowl and just get the fried snacks.

Have to give a shoutout to this Taiwanese small eats/boba tea house since they were definitely the little engine that could at the annual Taste of Falls Church, easily being the busiest kiosk and doing their best to keep up with the incessantly long lines whether it be sending staff back to their storefront for replenishment of tea or popcorn chicken onigiri and managing impatient customers who made it to the front only to find that their top choices for food/drink ran out and by offering discounted alternatives with their tickets,. Customer service at their storefront in Eden Center is in point and they have a automated kiosk to place orders for added efficiency. Solid beverages, probably the best Taiwanese fried chicken in the region, and excellent rice plate combos with salt/pepper pork, chicken, and fish ;superior to rival joint ViVi on the other end of the mall. Beef noodle soup is probably the only weak offering with an excessively strong note of star anise in the broth and a noodle that lacks the hand pulled QQ factor. One Tea could be a subtle nod toward its Taiwanese heritage, but politics aside, a hardworking crew that never fails to crank out authentic and delicious eats.

This is a really solid boba tea shop in the Falls Church area! They have lots of different food and drink items, so you'll definitely find something to satisfy your taste. I got one of their matcha drinks last time and I thought it was really well balanced. The Matcha had that characteristic nice roasted and slightly bitter flavor that contrasts well with the milk and the sweetness of the drink. I also like that they don't load up their drinks with a ton of ice. This is a place I would come back to if I was in the area :)

Ambiance - 5 stars Food - 5 stars (AMAZING!!!) Service - 5 stars (Fast & Quick, they skipped the chitchat) If you're looking for authentic Taiwanese food with a clean and welcoming environment; Look no further! Popcorn chicken and tofu pudding is ON POINT! I haven't had a miss yet and their homemade taro balls are to die for.

I got the fresh taro milk tea with 30% sugar and 0% ice and it was amazing! I like how I don't have to get any toppings here because they have taro chunks in the drink which honestly is a topping. I love how the milk tea has amazing milk and tea ratio that balances one another out. I can really taste both at the same time as one does not overpower the other. I'm not big on sweets so I'll probably get the same drink next time with 0% sugar since the taro is already pretty sweet. Definitely the best boba place in the area. I would recommend!

I've been ordering food from one tea house for a LONG long time and for good reason -- they have quality food at good prices. Their popcorn chicken and the braised pork rice are probably some of the most authentic tasting in the area. Recently, I went to the actual store in Eden Center because I was craving boba. I was really excited to find out they have a yakult slushie that is honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a while. You really can't go wrong with the food and the drinks here!

Upon our revisit to onetea, we had the opportunity to try the food. We tried the popcorn chicken and the fried pork chop over rice. I also sampled the wintermelon tea. The food was hot and crispy when we received it and well seasoned. I do wish they had flavored or battered fries to go with their popcorn chicken and entrees. -1 The wintermelon tea sweetness could not be adjusted, which mostly just meant that the drink consisted of flavored syrup. We probably would not get this again. Overall, I think this place has many draws, even if some are a hit (popcorn chicken & food) and miss (drinks that are a tad bit odd). We'd definitely come back to grab some to-go food.

Really enjoyed my quick stop to One Tea House. I ordered at the little kiosk screen which was very convenient. Their service was quick and excellent. They have a good variety of milk teas and Asian-style desserts but also liked the fact that they served Tawainese-style cafe dishes for a quick bit of something savory too. This is a great addition to the Eden Center dining options.

One Tea House is one of three bubble tea places at Eden Center. We ordered on UberEats for pick up and our order was ready when we arrived. We got their kumquat fruit tea with chia seeds and kumquat green tea, plus a tea egg. All quite good. Well packaged and ready fast.

Absolutely amazing service, best boba in the Eden Center but also in arlington. Locally owned, and the boba is exactly the right texture. The snacks like the condensed milk buns, fried tofu, and popcorn chicken can't be beat. My brother always gets the same order at onetea (3Q Milk Tea), and the consistency and taste is the best we've found in all of the different boba spots we've visited through our childhoods. I used to really enjoy the Lychee tea, but since I went caffeine free I haven't been able to order it - would love if they could start offering a Decaf tea option, but this is still a great boba spot with quality taste. The ambiance is casual

Fast, authentic Taiwanese eatery and drinks. I had peach lemonade tea with boba, 70% sugar and less ice, it's so refreshing! A mix of tartness and sweet but still able to taste the tea. Popcorn chicken is crispy and just the way I remember it should be, but I couldn't taste the difference between salt & pepper vs garlic, haha... I also had the deep fried buns with condensed milk, fun eat!

Got an hot Black sesame milk tea and the Golden fried tofu that I been craving for and couldn't find while I was in Flushing, NY. Service is pleasant, I was the first customer as the store just open. Ambiance is a usual tea/dessert feel. My black sesame milk tea was a mixture of powder. It's ok, can taste a little of the sesame but it's a bit too sweet. The FriedTofu advertised as the Taiwanese style tofu which is missing that stinky tofu smell and taste but is still good. As least can stop my craving for now hehe...

I've been to One Tea House multiple times before and tried to like it a lot but every time I got different milk teas, they are typically watery tasting with not that much flavour and the boba is super chewy without much taste. I typically get 100% sugar too because I don't like requesting lower sugar at the cashier. LOL. Introvert things. The only milk tea I've actually liked though is the honey dew! The honey dew flavour is very accurate and tasty. It's refreshing for a milk tea! I think I need to start trying out their fruity teas if their milk teas aren't the best for me. Or in my mind, there are other boba places around Eden that has better milk teas.

Another one of the many boba places now located in NoVa. This location is where the old KFT in eden center used to be. They offer food and drinks. My second time at One Tea - it's mediocre at best. So far, all the drinks lack flavor. Their classic Milk tea is weak and their ginger milk tea lacks punch. I have yet to try the food, but seems to have a good variety.

Edit: Ordered the Oreo Fresh Milk tea by accident :( which would explain the taste. Just a heads up with you want to get an Oreo drink, make sure you double check your order. and are getting the right one. Would like to come back and try the actual Milk Tea one day! Came here late on a Saturday night after going to Firepan. This place seemed to be one of the few that was open late, so that's a plus if you're looking for some late night boba. I ordered an Oreo Milk Tea, and it was ok. The tea itself didn't have a ton of flavor, so may not come back here in the future with all the other options, but perhaps after another late night dinner in the Eden Center I'll try something besides their Oreo Milk Tea.

Only stopped in for a drink after some shopping. Got a chocolate bubble tea and it was spot on. One thing that was a little unique is I felt the boba were a little softer than most. Now not to the point where the texture seemed off, but they didn't have as firm a "bite" to them as most other places I've gone.

Had a craving for some beef noodle soup and this just didn't make the cut for me. Ordered take out so may be the reason for my comments. Taste was pretty bland and doesn't hit unless accompanied by spoonful of the soup. The tendons and been were good and hearty but again was a bit bland. Maybe I'll try in store next time fresh to the table. Enjoy!

I was craving boba in the Eden Center and saw this place that I have never been to. Naturally, my friend and I decided to give it a try. My friend ordered the classic milk tea with regular boba while I got the strawberry cosmo with the sakura crystal boba. The classic milk tea tasted great with a good tea taste and the boba had a great texture. Overall, the drink was not too sweet and I would definitely get it again! My drink was a bit on the sweeter side and tasted a bit artificial in the beginning. If I were to get the same thing next time, I would adjust the sweetness. They also serve food here but we were too full to order any. I would definitely come back to try it! COVID review: this place was super covid safe with social distancing stickers, employees wearing face masks, and a plexiglass shield between the cashier and the customer.

After shopping at the Good Fortune Supermarket, we headed to One 1ea House for a bubble tea to share. I asked to adjust the sugar level for the Honeydew Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly but was told there's no added sugar and the honeydew syrup sweets the beverage. I liked how it wasn't too sweet and that they used a floral and fragrant tea based!

I went to this place on a Saturday afternoon and it was not that busy. I was able to order at the kiosk and it was set up to text you updates about the order. I got a milk thai tea and the service was surprisingly fast. The milk tea was a good time there. I would definitely go there again.

Great food. Good price. Service is lacking. At times have to wait. Tables were not cleaned

I'm updating my review from last time. I ordered the following dishes from Grubhub: Beef noodle soup Curry fish balls Pork chop meal Braised beef meal The order came timely and packaged very well. I also enjoyed the beef noodle soup. I didn't spend much time in Taiwan as a child, but from what I remember the taste is very similar from what I had, so I can say this place is authentic.

TL;DR 4.5/5 super solid deal, and pretty good food to boot. I actually only had food here, so I'll write something for tea later. I came it pretty late on a Monday and got the popcorn chicken bowl. It's a classic, and I wanted something simple. For the price, you are getting a lot of food - I was actually a little surprised by how much ground pork you get with the rice bowl! The tea egg was good, and while i would have liked the spicy popcorn chicken to be a little spicier, it was still very good, and I can't complain about the amount I got for my money. I know Taiwanese food isn't exactly what you expect when you come to Eden Center, but this is worth a stop if you want a quick, delicious, and filling meal without paying an arm and a leg!

OneTea is a really solid option in Eden for boba, snacks and bento. I used to order the bentos from Vivi, but converted over to OneTea when they opened and I haven't been back to Vivi since. It's definitely a smaller location than Vivi and the seating is still closed due to covid, but ordering drinks there doesn't take too long and I usually order on their square site for to-go food orders (usually takes about 15 minutes). My go-to food order is the popcorn chicken bento (basil or curry) and it comes with a generous portion of ground pork over rice + egg + veggies. It's a good lunch option and I usually can either split it with my partner or save the rest for a snack later. I pair it with a fresh mango yogurt drink that comes with crystal boba! It's not too sweet and kind of like a mango lassi, but lighter. I've also tried and enjoyed the taro milk tea which is made with real taro! My friends and I also enjoy getting the tofu pudding with various toppings (up to 3 included). It's a small but shareable size of tofu pudding with brown sugar syrup and we usually add toppings like boba, herbal jelly or (non-tofu) pudding. Overall, OneTea is a great place and all of the different options of food/drinks they have are very solid. Would recommend trying a couple different things out here since everything I've tried has been good!

One1ea had recently reopened this summer in Eden Center, so I had to go check them out. Look at these cool drinks I got: Butterfly Effect Lychee Cosmo * also offered in green apple, strawberry, and lychee flavors! Love how fruity and sweet this drink was, and loved the layers. I also really liked this drink with boba ~ you can really taste the lychee in the boba too. very similar to the Blue Galaxy drink over at Vibi Bubble Tea! If you liked that drink, come on over to One1ea and try their version! Strawberry Fizz Soda * one of their limited time only drinks! Also comes in topical fruit, lychee, and kumquat flavors! fizzy and fruity. You have the option of getting the drink their clear plastic soda cans (see pictured), and also just a really good drink to buy and store in the fridge to drink later! Brown Sugar Milk Tea * nailed it! Milky and the brown sugar syrup was not too overwhelming! A typically enjoyable drink!

I'm confused. I was super excited there was a brand new boba place in Eden Center. In the same location as ViVi. With basically the same menu as ViVi. And is called ViVi on Uber Eats... Rebranded or not, my consumer experience is the same. The teas are pretty standard for entry Taiwanese boba, plus the snacks are great. Always down for the popcorn chicken - closest I can get to traditional is either Basil or Spicy, but just wish there were a way to combine both with a hint of five-spice and more pepper. Certainly better than Kung Fu Tea because they have food, but not sure if I'd make the drive just for here. Luckily with the recent news, the waived delivery fees for my packages here are totally worth it.

Finally made it to Eden Center after MD loc closed. Did not disappoint! Favs include Tofu Pudding, Basil Popcorn Chicken and Mango Slushee with boba.

One Tea has moved to take over the old Kung Fu Tea spot directly in the center of the shopping center, and everything is as tasty as ever! I've always been a huge fan of their black milk tea and Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but they've expanded their menu since moving locations and they've got a lot of great stuff now, like niu rou mien (beef noodle soup) and curry fish balls. Good stuff all around! Happy you're open again One1ea!

Solid option in the eden's center plaza. They're up against the other bubble tea competitors here, but if you're looking for that solid taiwanese taste and some snackies to go along with your drink, stick to OTH. Boba and fruit teas are good and you can customize as usual. I like their curry HK style fishballs and popcorn chicken. The beef noodle soup is good for a quick meal. I'll admit the popcorn chicken loses out to Jumbo Jumbo in Rockville (they use basil and toss the spicy powder more evenly), but OTH has probably the best popcorn chicken in the area for a reasonable price. Plus, you're not driving an hour to Rockville. Definitely recommend, we've been here a few time (usually following some grocery shopping) and taste remains consistent!

The food was delicious! I would 100% go back & recommend to friends! I like that they put the soup in a separate dish so you can put it together yourself and so the noodles doesn't suck up the all the soup during transit from the restaurant to home. The beef was super tender. I can see why it has such high ratings.

Excellent Taiwanese popcorn chicken! Glad we finally have an amazing Taiwanese popcorn chicken location closer to me in Virginia without having to travel all the way out to Rockville! Usually places that sell Taiwanese popcorn chicken make it too bland, too much ratio of fat, too much ratio of fried batter you can't even taste the chicken, but One1ea does not cheap you out in the chicken and the size is perfect! They have so many drink options too! The aloe fruit drink was very refreshing :) I can't wait to try their other menu items such as their beef noodle soup and other bentos!

It seemed interesting to have meat noodle soups and sweet milk teas at the same time, same place. The noodle soups were good for the price, but the next time, I am going to go somewhere more serious for them.
