QQ Tea House
931 University Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“QQ Tea House is a beloved Honolulu spot where specialty bubble tea meets thoughtful Chinese cuisine, earning consistent praise for their impeccably crafted boba with perfectly chewy texture and robust tea flavor. Beyond the exceptional drinks, they've built a loyal following for their expansive vegan Chinese menu—from Kung Pao Chicken to Chile Sesame Beef, all made fresh to order—making it a rare find for plant-based eaters seeking authentic flavors rather than compromises. With a welcoming atmosphere perfect for lingering conversations and a five-year-strong community of regulars, this is where quality craftsmanship and genuine hospitality come together.”

I had the Vegan Kung Pao Chicken with mild spice level. It was delicious! She made it on the spot as soon as I ordered it. I’m definitely coming back here. My partner got the Vegan Chile Sesame Beef and regular spice level. He really enjoyed it!
I recommend QQ if you’re looking for vegan options in the area. Theres a great variety and the portion sizes are big. Flavor could be stronger, but vegan Chinese food is hard to make and come by.
I ordered from this place through Uber Eats a few weeks ago and forgot to leave a review. The meal I received had MOLDY BROCCOLI on almost all the broccoli on my plate! I reported it to Uber Eats and provided photos, but they refused to issue a refund without valid reason. I’ll attach the pictures here. Please be extremely cautious when ordering from this restaurant—quality control clearly isn’t a priority.
I’ve been coming here since 2020 (5+ years now!!)
This is the best quality bubble tea I've found thus far in Hawai'i, hands down. Properly QQ texture boba that is perfectly chewy and not soggy, and strong tea. I find that the 50% sweetness level is just right for me. The staff are so friendly too, they have a point card system, and their vegetarian classic stirfries are quite tasty as well :)
