T-Station

Love their chocolate avocado boba tea and popcorn chicken. I often have cravings for boba tea and this is my go-​to place since it’s literally a block away from where I live. They also serve other dishes and appetizers, like fries, fish balls, etc.
I’ve been visiting for the past few weeks and it’s been closed during their opening hours and even called, and the line didn’t ring even once. I really hope they aren’t closing down, it would be such a bummer.

They used to have inconsistent food, but after the management has hanged, they are getting much better. Should definitely try their pop corn chicken, soto betawi is also good. Their milk tea tasted okay. Good place to hang out, good service too.

Indonesian food is one of my favorite type of food around, mainly because I grew up in Indonesia and it’s much richer in flavor compared to western meals. In Florida it is hard to find a place that serves great quality Indonesian, other than in Miami. So whenever I am visiting Seattle I try to hit up places that serves Indonesian Food. I was referred to T-​station by an Indonesian friend of mine. Her exact words were, «T-​station has a laid back athmosphere, and more of the street Indonesian food!» I immediately looked the place up and headed my way to t-​station! When I saw pempek, ketoprak, Bakwan Malang, Nasi Goreng, and Siomay on their menu I was as happy as a fat kid eating a cake! I haven’t had Indonesian street food in so long, I was having withdrawals! I ended up ordering the ketoprak and Nasi Goreng. Ketoprak as great and tasty, and so was the Nasi goreng! Nasi goreng came with chunks of chicken which was nice, and it was flavorful to the end. I wanted more of it. Prices here are decent, and it is worth it for the amount of food you are getting. The place also serves different varieties of bubble tea. I ordered the Taro tea, and it was very good. Sweetened to perfection. So if you are in the area, wanting some great fast Indonesian food or simply just some bubble tea, come stop by T-​Station. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been going to the T-​Station for awhile now. They’ve always been friendly, had great snacks, and yummy bubble tea. In terms of the space, I’ve enjoyed the layout, making it cozy spot for me and my friends.
A loved one surprised me with an idea to have a birthday gathering there. I hadn’t thought of that. The staff was happy to take a reservation for 30 people. They were easy to work with and until the actual party, I had no idea how much effort they had put into it.
They had a Hello Kitty Happy Birthday banner. I loved it! They also had bouquets of Hello Kitty balloons. They had plenty of staff on hand for my party and although some inconsiderate guests did not show up as they said they would, there were plenty of other customers in there. It all worked out. The kind attention to detail and special touches made the night a very fun one.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, they brought out an ice cream cake with «Happy Birthday Monica» on it. I felt unbelievably special and wished I would have known since I brought a cake of my own.
In terms of food — the popcorn chicken is always a hit and you can denote the level of spice. I like 3 stars but some have said that the after kick on the 3 stars is a bit much. The calamari is also very good. Aside from bubble tea, they also have smoothies and shakes there. The food was fantastic, drinks refreshing, and my guests and I had a great time!

I used to love this place, but they must have gotten a new team. Last time I ordered hot milk tea it was lukewarm and powdery tasting, they forgot to add boba, and had to remake my popcorn chicken (which takes long to prepare as it is) because the woman entered the wrong amount of stars making me wait another half hour before I was able to eat my one appetizer and one bubble tea.

I like T-​Station. Shout out to Rossana Y. and Tyler M. for showing me this place!
They have good bubble tea and the shop is really cute. I had the spicy chicken filet with rice and it was good. Big portion for about $ 8. R&T had the popcorn chicken. I had one and it was very tasty.
I’ll definitely be back! I enjoyed my lavender bubble tea.
This seems to be a hot spot for young people.

I recently discovered this bubble tea joint a few months ago and I’m really liking it a lot!
My current obsession is their avocado shake with lychee jelly. I love how the bursts of fruity flavor of the lychee jelly complements well with the sweet, creamy flavor of the avocado. It also comes out in a nice, thick consistency and not icy like some places make it. Love it!
In terms of food, I’ve only had their popcorn chicken so far and it’s pretty tasty. It comes out crispy with the right amount of seasoning. I like adding in Sriracha sauce for some extra kick. For only $ 6, you can easily share it with another person.
The ambiance is spacious with plenty of seating. There are mostly tables and chairs near the front, with a few couches in the back. I prefer to sit closer to the back since it can get a little chilly sitting near the front of the store. There are boardgames for people to play with as well as a large flat screen TV on the wall. I tend to find a lot of Indonesians hang out here (maybe that’s where the owner is from?).

Went there earlier for bakso kuah (meatball soup). I usually go to Waroeng Jajanan for their bakso– always good! but then, it’s a bit too far, so I ended up here.
1^st– for a bowl of bakso, it costed me $ 8.75 (other places– WarJan and Indo café charges less than $ 7.50 tax included)
2^nd, they gave you tiny broth and extra broth cost $ 1.04.
3^rd, the bean sprouts was old and smelly. When I brought it to the counter, I told the girl at the counter to never use that bean sprouts again and the girl said, «Oh is it soggy?» I said «No, it smells weird»
4^th, the bakso is not firm, it is soft.
For my experience, I think I should get the food for free… I was so scared of getting stomachache after eating their bakso.
2 stars was because I gave them the benefit of doubt since I came there at 4pm (right when they just opened) and because I realize it is hard to keep bean sprouts fresh.
My suggestion: leave out the bean sprouts
I won’t come back though.

I only came here for the bubble tea. I really feel like the bubble tea here is a hit or a miss. It really depends on who is making it. Don’t even bother getting the food here, it’s mediocre.

Food was actually pretty good, small portion but ok. Seems like the place was to attract students, bubble teas, snacks, games. Tried some Indonesian snacks, was actually not bad, Indo café has some better tasting food if I was to choose, wish there was more of Indonesian street food kind of snacks in T Station.
Things that I didn’t quite like about the place was first the lady at the counter was sitting there, like she really didn’t want to be there, and tables were all dirty (place was all empty, she has time), we had to walk around to find a clean table AND chairs; the blue chairs’ had stains all over them, not sure what stains, but we weren’t eager at all sitting on them. I would do take out, felt like hygiene wasn’t on the priority list.

If this place wasn’t right across the parking lot from my gym, I would never come here. The food is edible, but it’s definitely not awesome. I do like the drinks and the variety offered — I’ve only had the passionfruit iced tea and the passionfruit smooth, but both were refreshing. They let you customize your drink sweetness so I always ask for mine less sweet.
The only real bad thing about this place is that there is only one person cooking the food and he’s not exactly speedy. I always end up waiting at least 20 minutes for my food, which isn’t great since the vibe of this place is fast and casual.

I’ve noticed this place for more than a year since they open because it’s just right across the same block from where I work out. Finally, I decided to walk in and had dinner there.
Location:
It’s located in a block on Aurora and 130^th. If you spot LA Fitness, you can spot this place. Parking is not a problem at all. There are tons of parking spots.
Décor:
It feels like a café. There are so board games in the restaurant. It’s a very lay-​back environment.
Food:
I had popcorn chicken and Indonesian curry. The portion was HUGE. I really liked the curry. However, the curry sauce was a bit cold and not enough for the rice. There were two drumsticks and two big pieces of tofu in the curry. HUGE portion! The popcorn chicken was a bit too sweet for what I’ve remembered. And, there wasn’t basil.
Service:
It’s pretty much self-​served. But, when I ordered, I had questions about food. The cashier lady was able to answer me and gave me some recommendations and tips.

I stopped by here because wanted to try it and see what they had. the interior is clean and hip and they have a ton of drink options i has the lychee milk tea with lychee jelly and it was good. i will defiantly try this place out again and see what their other flavored and drinks have to offer.

This place is a lot of fun and the food is great, provided the right cook is on duty. There is another cook who causes this to be four stars rather than five. (When the bad cook is on duty this is more like a two star place.)
The bubble tea is fun, the atmosphere is good, and the food is reminiscent of a weekend outdoor food pavilion in Jakarta or Medan. Highly recommend this place.

What bubble tea place runs out of boba (tapioca) on the two occasions I came in for bubble tea!
Was excited to learn of a bubble tea place close to home, but this has been disappointing and frustrating!

Bubble tea on the Aurora strip?
Normally i would abjure to such risk such a thing, but Its deliciousness has been found and its not through some sketchy in-​the-​hole strip mall either. In fact its location is right across from my gym (LA Fitness) and its been taunting its late night sweetness at me after each trip to the gym. They offer a comparable bubble tea selection to that of WOW bubble tea. The fresh fruit mix are best especially with little teeny candy geles. The speed and friendly mix of the servers were fantastic.
Enjoy the K-​Pop!

Very casual atmosphere, friendly and energetic staff. They have tv’s and games and things, but we didnt see anyone using them either time we’ve been there. Seems a little pricey, but I suppose they know their expenses better than I do…
Tasty bubble tea, and somebody ordered some kind of chicken dish that looked absolutely amazing while we were there the first time. We havent tried the food yet, but we’re going to try some of the other bubble tea places nearby.

I asked for a nearby Tea Station, but was taken to this «T-​Station» because it was closer.
First of all, I seriously think everyone else who rated their noodles to be good must NOT be Asian, or at least have NOT grown up around Asian food. I don’t remember what noodles I ordered, but they were the special of the month or something because it was displayed on a sheet of paper near the cash register or shelf on the wall. You would think that they perfected the taste because it’s advertised right in front of you, right? Absolutely not! The noodles were stiff and stuck together, the meat was salty – I’ve had better instant noodles than this crap! Even my younger brother cooks better than this, and he just recently started learning how to cook!!!
I should have just stuck to what I originally went there for – a boba. Maybe… JUST maybe… my taste buds would not have been so offended.
Two stars for the nice workers.

Good Indonesian food and bubble tea.
Very casual (think plastic utencils and paper napkins). Food is very tasty — I highly recommend the noodles and the honey green tea bubble tea!
I came two nights in a row after discovering it, both times there was a younger crowd there. They have a big screen TV in the back playing movies and there are magazines strewn about for entertainment.

Located in a small shopping strip beside O Melon, we decided to give them a try instead of our usual yoghurt. They don’t sell yoghurt so why did I feel so adulterous! There was no conflict here.
Several of us decided to try them out on a recent warm Sunday afternoon. After reading their menu, I was pleased to see strawberry snow bubble! It was one of my favourite drinks at our neighbourhood tea place back in Houston. I loved their version so much that I created a ditty in its honour. No lie.
Anyway, I chose lychee jellies (instead of tapioca) and the jellies were fresh and chewy. I also ordered some spicy fried tofu at four stars. This was not a lie in its description, my mouth was on fire and the only thing that could quench the flames was that cool frosty beverage. Whew!
Our drinks were quite competently made by the two pleasant staff members. One of my group ordered the chocolate soufflé which took about 10 – 15 minutes. We weren’t bothered though, there were board and card games for entertainment. If you aren’t a fan of those, gaming consoles with video games are also available.
The owners tried to make the décor hip while on a budget — in a bright yet muted IKEA style. We sat in the back on the fat couches and played Uno for a while on that lazy Sunday afternoon. It was quite pleasant and if you live local to the tea house, give them a chance.
