HI PHO - Edinburgh

Eryk Byrski

Urokliwe miejsce z jedną z najlepszych herbat jakie piłem w swoim życiu. Obsługa była super i pomogła mi wybrać gdy nie byłem pewny na co się zdecydować

Ordered from Hungry Panda, the student sets of food. Besides the economical prices for the promotion, the quality of their foods and drinks is really good. They’re really tasty. The bubble teas are authentic with soft and sufficient tapioca pearls. Bun Cha is really delicious, so is the beef pho. And the fried spring roll is really surprising, with a flavour that I never had at other Vietnamese restaurants in Edinburgh. I would order many many times again during the promotion period.

I also love their packaging, every piece of dish and the whole takeaway package are in good packaging condition, maintaining clean and sealed. The eat in environment also looks sweet, clean, modern designed, cozy and comfortable and smells fresh.

Good boba place on southbridge. Bubbles are OK (3/5) but their flavors make up for it I think.
They've got a comprehensive drink selection and a variety of textures, better than most boba places. I love their honeydew milk tea, artificial but in a good way. They always ask for sweetness, so I've never had a trouble with my drink being too sweet.
The menu is easy to understand and very clear.
They recently have also done Vietnamese food, cant comment on this though! Staff themselves say its "ok".
Their tip jar is so cute!! You put a coin on the little table and the thingy opens its mouth and tips the plate into its mouth. I love it. Do you recognize the character?

I usually love Hi tea (i’ve been to the one on Fredrick Street so many times). The prices of this place are good. £4.8 for a 500 ml boba sounds decent. Our boba drink was too sweet (i felt slightly sick after) but the pearls were really nice. I would recommend the Fredrick street one over this place as the amount of sugar they use there is perfect and it’s not too sweet.

Lovely wee shop, such beautiful colours and the staff we saw today was so friendly and sweet. Great conversation and made sure we got what we wanted. Highly recommend and would come again.

Got the taro bubble tea. The tapioca pearls were chewy and not bad. I asked for zero sugar, and they tried their best to accede to my request. They were nice about it! It may have been that as a result, I got lots more milk and couldn't taste the tea.

Not recommended. I ordered a large cup instead of a medium cup. After making the wrong cup shape, the waiter used a knife to scrape the product from the medium cup into the large cup and then simply filled it with milk. The milk tea was too sweet and had very few pearls.

The staff is great, successfully managed to withstand the plethora of questions I ask about their unusual ingredients..they found both time and energy to describe, show and even give a taste when it got too complex.

Ordered Peach Cream Cheese and Caramel Bubble Tea with black tapioca.

Cream Cheese in bubble tea is my new favorite. I was skeptical initially but this particular one had vanilla essence and sea salt that balanced sweet jammy peach tea surprisingly well. Tea tasted like actual tea: strong with explicit tannins (which I can’t get in other places where it tastes just like peach flavored water) bobas gave an impression of actual peach jam, I guess if not the salty cheese it would’ve been too sweet for me.

Caramel Bubble tea was not that impressive: nice, balanced, medium sweet, with a pleasant hint of caramel and good portion of chewy tapioca.

I will definitely be back to taste more..

P.S they got a really nice “tip eating creature” in house ? bring some coins to see him in action!
