Great spot for a quick treat or to catch up. Lots of snacks from cakes, sweet buns and salty buns as well. The tapioca is always a nice soft chewy consistency as well. Sometimes they have bread from day prior at discounted price as well.
I think about you daily ben wong yummy food and drinks i keep messing up my vegetarianism for their hotdog
I just discovered this place and I loved it!. It's spacious and had a very good smell as we went in. We ordered using the kiosk and food was available right away. My favorite is the mango mousse. Light with real fruit inside; sweet but not overpowering. I also liked the strawberry mousse very much. Just like the mango mousse, it was light and just the right amount of sweetness. Though the hazelnut mousse was also good, the mango and strawberry ones were my top favorites. Would definitely come back and try the other pastries/cakes!
Ben Wong's Tea is one of my daughter's favorite Asian bakeries, and it's easy to see why! The cheesecake is absolutely delicious-rich, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying without being overly sweet. Her absolute favorites are the adorable 3D mousse desserts! From the mango and strawberry to the tropical coconut, nonh ann in hanutifully crafted and bursting with flavor. They're almost too pretty to eat-but definitely too delicious to resist!
hopped on the fruit dessert trend! service wise we ordered from the kiosk which made it quick to order. we went late, closer to closing and there were still a few people ordering but it was fairly quiet inside. there was a special for the fruit looking desserts. I ordered one of each. they were all beautiful--I was sad that I was given a broken apple one, but the others were perfect. I will say taste wise they all left something to be desired. not very flavorful and not very sweet and texture wise very much all the same. but they were so fun to try!
Initially, I wanted to try the viral fruit shaped desserts but ended up getting a couple pastries from the self service display case. Tried the strawberry donut and croissant with fruits - both were tasty! I also got a jasmine milk tea but wished the tea was stronger as it was a bit too sweet even tho I asked for 50%. Would love to come again to try the other pastries!
I loved my trip last time so much that I had to come back ASAP. The lime tea at 50% sweet is perfect! I prefer it to the Mango Orange tea I tried last time. Today I tried the chicken curry bun, it's so flavorful, soft, and fresh. The matcha mochi bun is the real show stopper. Its texture and flavor is perfect. I notice that their pastries are not overly sweetened. They are just perfect. Today my total was $13. Don't sleep on this unique and affordable spot!!!
I usually come to a lot of these shops specifically for boba, so that's exactly what I picked up; a brown sugar boba tea. It was really good, and I have zero complaints whatsoever.
Ben Wong is always a treat to visit with enough variety to fill any craving. The teas are fantastic - particularly the fruit teas which are refreshing and not overly sweet, while still highlighting fruit flavors. I particularly like the Orange Pineapple and Orange Mango, but you can't go wrong with any of them. At just around $7 the price point is in line with what you would expect for a coffee replacement. The pastries are where Ben Wong shines. Showcased in the middle of the cafe, the ability to self select pastries often leaves me going home with more than I expect. The Pineapple Bun is fluffy with a mild sweetness, the Chicken Curry Bun is savory with a satisfying crunchy exterior, and the Taro Buns have a rich taro flavor. At $3-$5 per pastry you can't go wrong with any of them.
Stumbled on Ben Wong's in the hunt for Richmond boba tea options and just so happened to be in relative proximity to our takeout destination. There was still a grand opening sign up but I'm not sure how long ago that has been-regardless its magical. You walk into what feels close to clinical in cleanliness with a center console featuring beautiful and fresh pastries, breads, and desserts for self service to purchase. A set of TV screen menus over the counter show their drink options as well as two kiosks to order from. The counter features a dessert shelf to die for with an assortment of mousses, cheesecakes, delectables and then some. We ordered from the kiosk, personally preferred to truly browse the menu options while not craning your neck or feeling the pressure of a line. The options felt endless and while I managed to narrow it down, I wanted them all. We got a passion fruit tea with lime, tea jelly, and added brown sugar boba plus a mango pomelo sago featuring mango puree with coconut milk, sago, crystal jelly, pomelo pulp. Bonus: a passion fruit mousse to go (dessert after our takeout). Our name from the order was called and we picked everything up from the counter and the teas did not let us down. Beautiful in appearance and their taste matched - with refreshing flavors, the right sweetness and over all delectable with a helping amount of boba, or in my case sago as topping options. Later, we would get to the passionfruit mousse and once again we couldn't be disappointed. Light, fluffy, a hint of tartness and a sweetness that didn't make you need water. We happily spilt it between us two and savored every bite. A must visit-I'm drooling just writing this review and ready to go back.
The place is very nice to sit and enjoy your evening snacks. They have a wide variety of items, I like That they let people decide which ones to pick and eat. Tried their oolong roasted bubble tea, which was good. Mango mousse was the best dish I tried, it was not so sweet and edible. Mochi ring was good but I found the chocolate was a bit too sweet there. Danish was good. But the egg cake we're having a bit of egg smell, somewhere they can improve to make the experience better.
I've been a couple of times so far, and it's pretty good! The meat products (hot dogs) sitting out kind of gross me out but it didn't stop me from trying them regardless. *Can confirm I didn't get sick ha. I really love their drinks especially though; the tiramisu latte is sweet but delightful. Their bubble teas, especially the creme brulee, are good too, and I love their blueberry fruit tea! Of their pastries, I've enjoyed their berry-focused ones the best, such as the strawberry cake. It's close by and my boyfriend loves it here, so I'm sure to be back soon. Prices aren't bad either.
Amazing! I love (and hate) that this is so close to me. I've become a boba tea snob, and the brown sugar boba here far exceeded my expectations. It was delicious - not too sweet, just the perfect balance. Also, if you're jonesing for a pasteis de nata, the egg tarts here will satisfy that craving. They're perfectly rich and creamy, and taste just like Portugal. Super clean. A well lit space with quiet music - great for working or studying. The service was a bit slow, but they had a ton of online orders when I went. I can't wait to come back to try more of their wide variety of drink and food options!

So my sister and I tried the strawberry croissant & and the pistachio cream doughnut. It was delicious! I was nervous about the donut but it tasted amazing. I would totally order from them again. I couldn't get out today and did an online order. I look forward to checking them out in person and being able to experience the shop ambiance. If you ever want a sweet treat that's not too sweet and not too heavy on your stomach this is the spot! read more
I stopped by one day after running an errand because I was craving some boba, and it didn't disappoint. I had a pretty good experience from service to the quality of the menu items that I got. There were 4 staff members that were there taking and making orders. Even though I came in at a busy time, I didn't have very long to wait until I got my drink order. I grabbed a strawberry magic stick, an ube bun and a pineapple bun along with a mango orange tea. The strawberry magic stick and the pineapple bun were delectable and the ube bun was perfect. Ube isn't very sweet, and I'm glad that this cafe stayed true to the ube flavor instead of adding a lot of sugar or altering the actual taste! The mango orange tea perfectly pared with the pastries! They have bottled drinks and cakes as well, but I didn't get to try them! They have a handful of tables and chairs inside, and they had quite a bit of people in there. It seems like they are a fave spot for locals. Some customers were just hanging out and some had laptops out, so they might be a good spot to do some work, too. They also have some merch on shelves (plushies and cups) if you're interested in that kind of thing. Definitely recommend if you're craving some treats! read more

This was a newish tea place in an otherwise quiet suburban shopping center. In addition to tea, they had a considerable spread of baked goods. At the end of the day, their selection was reduced, but there were still plenty of high quality sweets. I settled on a mousse. Texturally, the hard chocolate shell and open sides meant it was physically difficult to divide it into any smaller pieces in order to eat it. The taste was rich enough. Savory options were available, but were limited by comparison. Among their tea options was a watermelon special for the season. A unique fusion, it was full of fruit pulp but also a grass jelly only found in Asian beverages (there are a lot of non-gelatin jellies for the vegetarian at these sorts of places). I was a tad confused on whether to order from a kiosk or a person, and there was also some confusion about labeling of the self-serve pastries and the tea specials. They have another location south of Richmond, and while there were a couple of points that could have been better, overall I expect success from them. read more

Got the mango and the strawberry mousse cakes. Both had excellent flavor and balance. The mango had a natural flavor and it was our favorite of the two. The strawberry had less flavor, but still delicious and fresh. read more
Went to Ben Wong's Tea with my girlfriend a while back and I'm glad we stopped by. We ended up grabbing some sweets that day, and everything felt pretty premium, they really put thought into what they offer. There's a big variety of options, and honestly, half the stuff I hadn't even heard of before. It was nice to just browse and explore their options. The ambiance is definitely a highlight. It's a relaxed spot very "post up with a laptop and zone in" kind of energy. I've seen a few people working in there every time I've went. Whether you're grabbing a drink or just want a calm place to hang out, it pretty chill. I went back another day before work and got a strawberry matcha just to try something different. I'm not usually a big matcha guy, but I actually liked it. The flavor was there, it didn't feel watered down or overly sweet, and the staff had it out pretty quickly. Everyone seemed friendly and welcoming, which always adds to the vibe. read more

My husband and I are the type of people that like to have a "sweet treat" on Sundays. We are huge bubble tea/boba lovers and we've been going to Ben Wong's since they opened in willow lawn! We first discovered them at their Midlothian location and we were so thrilled when saw they opened in willow lawn, too. We have probably been now at least 20 times and we love it. I personally am not a huge pastry fan but if you're into that, they have an impressive assortment of French Vietnamese items; definitely something for everyone. I love their bubble tea, my favorite being their passion green tea! You can dictate the sweetness level and everything tastes fresh. The boba is the right consistency and the tea tastes freshly brewed, and no artificial flavors in there. Would recommend!! read more

I'm so happy that this shop opened up in Willow Lawn. Service: the owner is very nice and was very accommodating for cake orders, answered any questions we had! Vibes: super clean, bright, open. Quite cute. Drinks: I personally like the drinks, and how you can customize the sugar and ice. But, be aware that the taro milk tea is made with what looks like real taro paste instead of a flavored powder, and passionfruit tea is made with the fruit pulp with the seeds. Some of my friends were surprised by this. I love the fruit teas, and the normal milk tea is very solid, highly recommend. Food: the breads are BEAUTIFUL. And tasty. Looks like they are consistently revamping their offerings so I'm sure you will be able to find something you like. I personally love the sausage bread. The breads are soft and fluffy. The sweet pastries are not super sweet but have nice flavor. Takeout: I recommend asking for drinks in a plastic bag. Mine was in a paper bag, and the drink leaked, soaking the bag. I did not notice when I picked up the order, and ended up spilling the drink all over the floor. Over all, for Richmond, this is a solid solid place. read more
Finally trying Ben Wong's and boy does this place have OPTIONS! Hope you're not indecisive like myself or you'll be scrolling through the menu on the kiosk for 15 min or walking laps around the pastries. I finally decided on the taro matcha bubble tea and my mom decided on the strawberry slush. You're able to customize your drink and adjust the sweetness, ice level and add any toppings. I think the taro matcha was supposed to have bubbles which was a little disappointing they were omitted but the drink was still very tasty overall. The pastries were definitely the stand out. The cream cheese bun and the curry bun were top tier I could eat them every day. I had a very hard time choosing which pastry I wanted and can't wait to try more! Would definitely recommend Ben Wong's! The inside is very chic and cute with many tables good for groups! read more
Ben Wong's Tea recently opened in Willow Lawn and I had a nice time trying their bakery items! Their pastries are self-serve using provided tongs/trays and you pay at the counter. Staff were friendly and boxed up my items for me to-go. The seating area inside was bright, clean and open. -Chocolate bun: bread was soft and fluffy, the cream tasted a bit more like coffee than chocolate - still good though! -Taro bun: pretty presentation, the filling wasn't too sweet which was great. -Coconut cream bun: probably my favorite! It had plentiful whipped cream filling which was incredibly airy and fluffy. The bread was super soft too. -Pork floss bread: did not skimp on the pork floss which was amazing (just a tad saltier than I prefer). Prices were reasonable and they had a nice selection of sweet and savory pastry options (though I clearly lean towards sweets!). Will have to return to try their milk tea too! read more

very cute store! we came for the advertised buy 5 get the 6th free but decided not too after seeing the prices of the desserts. while tasty, i wouldn't pay $10+ do such a small dessert again. i also found a hair in the lemon dessert, but the staff apologized and gave us a new dessert. open to trying again with other baked goods. read more
Ben Wong's Tea is an awesome addition to Willow Lawn! There wasn't a good bubble tea and dessert spot in this specific area so it'll be nice to stop by here. They offer a wide variety of bubble teas, pastries, and cakes. This location also has shave ice for dine in only. All the pastries and cakes I saw were very reasonably priced. The pastries I tried were fluffy and not too sweet. They made for an easy quick bite without that heavy feeling afterwards. I also tried the brown sugar bubble milk tea and adjusted the ice and sugar level to my liking. I believe it came with cheese foam on top which made it a little sweet and salty. The medium was slightly small for the price. They have an app so you can look at the menu, order ahead, or gain rewards. In store you can order at the counter or on tablets. They have plenty of seating and lots of outlets so it would make a great spot to do some work or catch up with friends. read more

I'm still newer to Boba tea and the Asian pastry scene. That being said this place is solid. The store is clean, the staff is patient and the tea and pastry's are pretty good. I highly recommend the chicken Katsu croissant pastry! read more
I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. It's beautiful, the atmosphere and aesthetic is lovely. The manager Rainy is a delight and they were so accommodating for my book signing of Trapped in the Past for a collaborative community event. Everyone raved about how much they loved the food and drinks. They have so many options I can't pick a favorite but I loved the cheesecake, a mouse. The tea was outstanding. I truly recommend and I think I've found my favorite tea shop in RVA. Check them out if you're in the willow lawn area and even if you're not, they're worth the drive. read more
So happy that this place popped up! It's essentially a BrecoTea copycat, but closer to downtown. They have a great selection of drinks and pastries and would love to try out their cakes when the appropriate occasion arises! They also have a really spacious seating area that would be great for hangouts or studying. read more
Got the mango cheese slush 50% sugar and it was pretty sweet! I reccomend that sweetness level. The cheese cap complemented it well when mixed in! 10/10 although the milk shaved ice was small, the shaved ice was very fluffy! A little lighter ice than I would expect and a bit smaller than places around here/NOVA places but the boba in it was very soft and complemented the tastes well! The place was very clean although my only comment would be on the display of the way the shaved ice was sent out, it was just a bit messy. Still enjoyable ofc snd great service! read more
Loved the open layout of the restaurant, lots of setting and beautiful decor. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the staff was very friendly. We grabbed a tray and picked up a few treats. It was very affordable and such a delicious experience. Great new restaurant read more

There's a good selection for sure, but this place is so overhyped. The boba is mediocre, and the bingsu as well. The pastries don't feel or taste fresh, they aren't heated up either. The cake slices are dry and flavorless. I've been disappointed by multiple items on the menu multiple different times. The display is great but misleading. read more
