    S'mores crepe
    Othia S.

    Chai wala is a bubble tea and desi snacks spot with a casual and cozy ambiance. About four tables but plenty of seating. They also have a backyard patio for additional seating. Love having a boba spot close to home. This spot has consistency, speed, and seating. Definitely a good place to stop by. I make it a point to come here on rainy days to get hot chai. I came here to do henna on some friends today and the staff were really welcoming and friendly- a plus. I've tried the crepes, good if you're craving crepes- and lots of options. Looking forward to trying some other snacks next time I come.

    Chai boba tea and brown sugar boba tea.

    The place is nice with outdoor seating which was good. The service was okay. They were busy, guessing because of social media. But don't believe the hype. My husband had the chai boba tea, it was no where near chai flavor but regular water down tea. He got me the brown sugar boba, again the flavor was blah and packed with sugar. The boba was hard as if it's been sitting all day. I get boba tea or coffee at least once a week and this place can't come near to what good boba tea/coffee should taste like.

    Banana Nutella

    Love their lamb paratha and crepes. Definitely go back, just a nice place for a quick snack.

    Reese's Peanutbutter Milkshake soooooo good!

    The taste of the passion fruit bubble tea was great and the popping bubbles were fresh and tasty too! The place is very clean and the service was friendly. Highly recommended this hidden gem!

It's Eid so my sister and I came here to buy 6 bubble teas for the family (Around 5:45) When I ordered it, the cashier laughed in my face sarcastically. I asked her why she laughed and she expressed "cause I'm gonna have to make them now" um hate to break it to you babe but that's your literal job??? I did feel bad since she was the only one behind the counter at the time, so I changed my order from 6 to 4 bubble teas. I sat down with my sister and we watched as 3 other parties ordered and received their drinks while we still waited for ours. After quite the wait, I went to the pickup area to ask if our drinks were ready yet and they were ready, just sitting there for a while. I guess she didn't think to notify us that our drink is ready? I mean she saw us waiting so I don't know why she couldn't let us know. Such blatant disregard for customer's time. Maybe I'm spoiled by the amazing service I get at Chaiwala. I kind of regret going here today because on top of that, one of my bubble teas was filled literally halfway. I get that I ordered a regular size for two of the drinks and maybe they only had large cups but even then, what I received was waaaay less than what the regular cup holds. And this regular sized drink had waaaay less bubble tea than the other regular sized drink I ordered. I don't know if she did that on purpose or out of spite... but it did feel like it. Just look at the pictures I attached and see for yourself. Also, I asked for no ice and it definitely had ice in it. And as if it couldn't get any worse, my brown sugar milk tea was just milk with a tiny amount of brown sugar at the bottom. I defffffinitely did not get what I paid for and it really is disappointing. After such a long wait I didn't want to mention anything, so I took the drinks and left. But looking back, I really should have requested a refund. It was abysmal and I shouldn't have received such horrible products because I'm a paying customer like everyone else! It's astonishing how bad that one cashiers service was, I really think the owner should train his staff on common courtesy, it's not his fault but it's impacting his business. But I will say the other staff members are generally friendly and have great service, so maybe just train this girl. A couple of friends and neighbors here and there have also mentioned moments of off-putting service they experienced here, or similar inconsistencies with the product FYI.

I needed to warm-up my body from the extreme January, 2026 cold and decided to dine-in. Power Of One. It was utterly empty as I was the only patron in the house which there was no excuse to reluctantly serve me. There was one female worker who appeared very bored, head lowered doomscrolling on her phone, but idling and stationary waiting for customers to enter to serve. This female employee is operational readiness. Chicken Katsu Udon noodle soup $14.95 It was served fresh and piping hot with steam visibly emitted. It warmed my hands from the cold. Noodles were sufficient. I wished there were more noodles. The chicken was abundant and tasted just right. The broth was good. It contains half brown soft boiled egg of jammy yolk, paucity scallions, and fishcake. The brown half soft boiled egg was okay, but I prefer white eggs. It was served on a plastic canteen food tray with plastic utensils, wooden chopsticks and napkins. The interior has sufficient seating with tables and fends a canteen appearance rather than a café. There is no restroom facility on premise. Takeout menus are available for grabs. This noodle soup certainly eat my fill for lunch. It sustained my hunger pangs until dinner. There was no background music playing. Sometimes I like to sit in peace absorbing the quiet stillness to ponder and reflect. Pop Pot Noodle & Tea Spot is very accessible via MTA NYC Transit local J or Z trains at 75th Street Elderts Lane. Delivery is available via Uber Eats, Grubhub and DoorDash.

    I never thought I'd be writing a review like this…read more While eating a bowl of ramen, I discovered a cockroach after I had already consumed approximately 35% of the meal. I immediately stopped eating and documented the incident with photos and video. To the restaurant's credit, I was given a refund. However, I was disappointed by how the situation was handled afterward. The interaction felt rushed, and I left feeling as though the seriousness of the issue was minimized rather than addressed. Finding a cockroach in food is not a minor mistake--it raises serious concerns about sanitation, food preparation, and pest control. Because of the nature of the incident, I submitted a complaint to the health department and provided documentation. I hope ownership takes this matter seriously and investigates how this could have happened. Until then, I cannot recommend dining here.

    Bubble tea, French crepes and waffles be found and located in southeastern Queens, New York…read more After scanning the menu I decided on the classic Nutella crepe $9.99 which is delicious as it is topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips. There is no annoying banana to taint this classic Nutella crepe. The crepe was swimming in Nutella. I have always been enamored with Nutella and chocolate chips. French crepes with Nutella takes me back to Paris, France of nostalgia for halcyon times. Three stars, as the male server Hars S. speaks rudimentary English for L.E.P. and his words were mostly inaudible to comprehend. He plays music boisterously loud in his native language appearing very distracted with indifference to service customers. There are no seats, no tables, no stools, and no ledge. This is a takeout only business and takeout menus are available for grabs. The takeout menu appears to be designed by a very inexperienced amateur graphic designer who did not graduate graphic design school. I requested a sales receipt which was pulling teeth to obtain it as it for the level of difficulty of this simple task.

When life is lackadaisical and you need an uplifting force or encouragement for catharsis to be resilient as an awakening, dumplings are summoned. It brings presence to every bite for awareness and genuine aliveness. My emotional pain cannot be disconnected for healing. As I sat in silence I checked my email waiting for my order fulfillment and arrival. This business is a local cafe, not quite a restaurant but very Asian specifically a medley of Chinese dumplings and heavy Japanese decor atmosphere. I was very bewildered of this dumpling business is Japanese or Chinese cuisine, or possibly both incorporated? Asian fusion? Japanese beckoning cat, maneki-neko 招き猫, is heavy presence for decor atmosphere throughout the entire cafe. There is one large Japanese beckoning cat with one paw raised in a beckoning gesture by the cash wrap register. This beckoning cat is adorable! The menu is very simple offerings but does not describe the contents in detail. It is not a extensive list as it is a cafe. The server/cashier advise to order first, sit to eat and pay last like a full service restaurant. This business has been listed in my Yelp bookmark to try for a long time. The slightly warm temperature has teased me to induce Spring Fever as the first full day post Daylight Saving Time, 2026 and I was outdoors for walk as exercise. Sauces and condiments are available at a station counter. There is one large TV. Background music is somewhat loud audible and sourced by Spotify. Customer service is average. There is one unisex facility on the premise and is relatively clean. There is a small parking lot in the front shared with neighboring businesses. This business is located in a small shopping complex named Metro Plaza. Chicken dumpling noodle soup, $12.00 The dumplings were pan seared fried, unfortunately not traditionally boiled especially for noodle soup. The dumplings are average. The noodles were rice vermicelli with half boiled egg and scallions in Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen soup base broth. The Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen soup base broth and half boiled egg is a replica of Japanese Ramen noodle soup. It was served piping hot. Chinese soup spoon Tangzhi ladle where the end is at a angle is provided with one disposable wooden chopstick as utensils. Jasmine Tea, cold $1.50 This was awful! It was one tea bag filled with ice. I did not taste the Jasmine aromatic flavor. Stay away from ordering any drink as Song Dumpling Cafe is good for dumplings. It is certainly no bubble tea business to obtain quality Chinese tea. After my MTA NYC Transit SBS Q52 bus ride, I walked from Woodhaven Boulevard moving east on Metropolitan Avenue to gain access.

My coveted strawberry Nutella Crepe $9.95 was fresh and abundant with yellow custard cream, fresh strawberries, and topped with two sticks of strawberry Pocky. It enable me to intake a phlegmatic ephemeral moment. However, Crepe Mania is NOT authentic French crêpe as how I remembered the savory taste and ingredients from a past beloved visit to Paris, France as it was intensely filled with Nutella NOT yellow custard cream. French crêpes were my every other day default dessert during an evening stroll while exploring the "City of Light" to intake a Parisian romantic excursion atmosphere. The fresh fruit topped the fruit syrup was a very sweet delight, but Crepe Mania does NOT have any fruit syrup provided. Nevertheless, I would return for the savory salmon crêpe excluding the olives as lunch. Customer service is average, furthering my three star rating. This business uses Square paperless cash register and sales receipts can be produced is via email or text only. The inability to print a physical sales receipt. I highly prefer Counterpoint as a functional and effective POS cash register for all retail brick and mortar businesses. Takeout menu is available for grabs.
