For those who remember The Old Teahouse of old … years before the pandemic… This establishment was a mainstay for many international students in Davis. The menu was HUGE and ranged from a plethora of fried rice dishes to an array of entrees and small snacks.
Those days are behind us now and the New Old Teahouse has a much smaller and focused food menu as well as a smaller drink menu. The Bobas/milk teas are decent quality and within about medium range in cost.
I actually really enjoy their House Milk Tea. It is not too sweet and the flavor is great! I judge Boba shops based on their House Milk Teas. If the main drink of the house is not good, you’re just not gonna win me over. Ha-ha! Fortunately for TOTH, the House Milk Tea is great… add their soft tapioca pearls in it and it’s a hit! Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the sweetness level, but it makes sense. When I do want to adjust the sweetness, I get the Assam Milk Tea…delicious!
Now food wise, it’s a Boba shop… I never expect Boba places to have great food. The old Teahouse is no different, but they do have a pretty good popcorn chicken. Their entree bowls are okay for what they are. Overall, the food is not great, but not terrible.
The shop DOES look more organized and less cluttered than before (even though I thought that the old design added a sort of aged character to the place). Also, the cashiers are very nice!!
Overall, it is a decent Boba shop with decent to good drinks and average food.” (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-old-teahouse-davis-3)
