Fried chicken and boba? Say less!! ChiTea has made its way from Chicago to Frisco Village, bringing a unique combo of bubble tea drinks and fried chicken! We stopped by for lunch and could see this being a great hangout spot!

CHI TEA
Founded in Chicago in 2020 by Zak Ayyubi, Aman Siddiqui, and Abdurahman Sharif, Chi Tea is all about creating a place to hang while enjoying fried chicken and boba (which are so good, btw)! Their Frisco outpost is the first outside Illinois, and we’re so glad they’re here in DFW!
WHAT TO TRY
The menu features Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, sliders, tenders, mac & cheese, and loaded fries alongside customizable boba drinks! Choose from smoothies or iced teas with flavors like pineapple, brown sugar milk tea, and horchata, plus toppings like popping pearls or cream cheese foam!
