Teazu - San Jose

I loved the boba drink I chose with 25% sweetness and light ice. I ordered the TuttiFruitti drink which was the best one I've had. It was very fresh and came with everything I wanted. The restaurant is located at the Vietnam Shopping Center Mall with convenient parking.

The restaurant is very clean, offers good portion sizes, and serves delicious food at reasonable prices.

The boba at this restaurant is surprisingly large. The service is a bit slow, but it doesn't bother me. The lounge area is spacious with a TV playing The Loud House, which I enjoyed. The drinks are delicious and have a nice flavor without being too sweet. Fortunately, they are open until 12:30 am. I would definitely return to this restaurant.

I went to try teazu because my friend came to visit and he was craving something similar to boba sweet teas and popcorn chicken. We went and I ordered a very unique meal. The meal included calamari and a Vietnamese rice paper salad with beef jerky and garlic rice paper shredded with egg. It was weird, it coat about 18 dollars for the concoction and the calamari was about 7 dollars. The calamari was really tasty a bit sweet and salty but it was delicious. I'm sure it had bad stuff in it and fried in inflammatory oils and also had been drenched with MSG because I had a stomache problem the day after. The food itself was okay the rice paper with beef jerky was strange but it tasted decent. The texture was odd though. It was like eating paper but had flavor. The overall price for value was crazy. It was like the size to feed about a family of 6 people I got it in a tray. And that was a medium! They had a large and I couldn't fathom how huge that could be. Probably a huge storage box full of that stuff. The ambiance was in a strange parking lot surrounded by building that look like it came from 200 BC and was the only place one past midnight. The service was antisocial. The workers never talked in the front, they prepared the food in the back and person quickly gave out the food after it was made. The bathroom is hidden on a dark corner without any light. The food in terms of value was good, defintely one of the strangest foods I ever had. I never seen this type of food before but they really cater to boba drink lovers. Since I didn't have any boba I cannot judge, however, when reading the menu I saw that the boba drink ingredients were towards the sugary side so I defintely want to stay away. It was worth coming once, but if I had to come again, defintely get the small size of the garlic rice paper noodle box because I couldn't even finish a 4th of it on my own and I ate a ton of that stuff. The texture was off and seems like it should have been boiled prior to serving but I guess you eat it like that. The total was about 30 dollars.

Teazu is located in the San Jose Vietnam Town plaza with plenty of parking in the lot. I like how it is a late night spot in the area (closes at midnight). They have a kiosk where you order and someone behind the counter makes the drinks, and puts it out when it is done. The drinks took awhile to come out, and they forgot to call out our drinks when it was ready, so it was sitting there for a minute. I ordered the DaynNite, which is their jasmine milk tea with boba (it comes with butterfly tea on top), while my bf tried their Chamango (mango smoothie with Chamoy and Tajin). The milk tea tasted a bit different from what I remembered, the butterfly tea did not mix that well with my drink and overall, it tasted the milk tea tasted a bit bitter and off. The mango smoothie was a bit sour/tart with an after sweet mango taste.
