    Milk Foam Green Tea with pudding and boba
    David V.

    Gong cha has always been my fav boba tea chain. My go to is the milk foam green tea with boba and pudding. The service was fast and the cashier here was attentive and nice. Will definitely come back to this location. Location is close to everything in the Allston Brighton area and China town.

    Not the best ... but not the worst. Kind of expensive for the quality, but I often go here for the convenience cuz it's in the same store as Mochinut. Don't really have much to say cuz it's an average boba place. Wish Boston had some more outstanding ones.

    Solid drink: earl grey less ice 50% sugar Big space easier parking compared to the Chinatown gong cha. I tried strawberry pearl the other day- sweet taste like strawberry pocky - I would lower ur sugar level if you add this.

    Finally got to try Gong Cha and it didn't disappoint! I had a big lunch yesterday so I wanted to get something refreshing, and ended up getting the lemon aiyu drink while my friends got strawberry matcha lattes with milk foam and the strawberry oreo drink. My drink ended up being my favorite (always ask for 50% or less sugar and less ice), but the rest were tasty as well. I would say that this place is a bit pricey for bubble tea but I would come back. Our drinks were made quickly, but we had to ask for the milk foam on the lattes because they forgot, and according to my friends who live here, they literally forget every single time, which is not a good look...

    Wintermelon Tea with Aloe and Passionfruit Green Tea with Herbal Jelly
    Sharon L.

    Gongcha is one of my favorite chains of bubble tea. This location is situated in the middle of Allston - the perfect place to go for a drink after dinner. Usually I get the winter melon tea with boba and it never misses but this time I tried it with aloe. For some reason the winter melon tea seemed less sweet even though I didn't ask for a reduction but still good!! The passionfruit tea with herbal jelly was definitely the wrong combination for me but in general the passionfruit tea tasted a little off - almost too bitter for me. I don't think I'll be getting passionfruit from here anymore. Their other milk teas and fruity drinks are still pretty good and the location is great!!

    Lychee Oolong Tea with coconut jelly
    Kajal H.

    Gong Cha was my favorite bubble tea chain in the DC area so after many disappointing bubble teas from other shops in Boston, I decided to try this location. They do not have as extensive of a menu as the DC locations but they still have a good selection of the staple items. I ordered a large lychee oolong with coconut jelly. To my dismay, the "large" cups here are so much smaller/narrower than the ones in DC!! And of course the price was higher :( they did not have rainbow jelly, which is what I almost always order so that was another disappointment. The cashier was pleasant and the interior was nice, big and clean (I think it's takeout only right now though). Overall my drink was good for Boston standards and the sweetness level was accurate so I'd definitely stop by here again.

    Seriously, if you want bubble tea, seek elsewhere. Terrible customer service. This evening I walked in to order, a girl with brown-yellowish hair at the front desk really shocked me with her blatantly bad attitude. She rolled her eyes at me when I asked if she could repeat her words, because the mic she was wearing was not very clear in a loud place. After the order, she just nodded at me to take the receipt myself. Excuse me? The receipt is on the other side of the glass pane way closer to her. And they missed the pearls(bubble) in one of the drinks I ordered. I don't get it - is it how business is operating right now? It's such a bad representation of the bubble tea community. Please train your employees properly if you actually care about your business.

    Well, it was alright. The boba didn't seem super fresh but it also wasn't stale or bad otherwise. The tea itself was good though. It's not one of my new favorite locations, would probably try a different bubble tea stop in the area next time. The location was very crowded considering Mochinut is in the same space and there is some (limited) seating.

    Place was busy. Service was fine and pricy was reasonable. The food was a hit or miss. The grill beef was a bit overcooked. The chicken was crispy and Well season. The curry was delicious and the other items were fine. The bubble tea was just okay. Nothing special about it. Probably, will.pass on coming back.

    Not really impressed with their offerings although I only had the fried foods didn't try the beverages as this spot is a two for one store. The dipping sauces were really good the squid was tough the beef lacked beef flavor and the chicken was just like a salty flavor well fried though but not memorable.

    Moon Flower House - Fried Baby Chicken

    Moon Flower House

    Allston/Brighton

    Wings are amazing and Moon Flower is one of my favorite places to go when I'm craving fried…read morechicken. Popcorn chicken used to come as a giant heap but is now a much lesser portion. Unfortunate, but understandable due to inflation. Both come out very crispy, properly seasoned, and well breaded. Pistol legs are a hilarious name, but also very good. BBQ chicken wings are not fried but have a delicious saucy glaze on the outside. Service is friendly, but to be fair, I only ever order online so interactions are short and quick. The space inside seems nice enough and there's always people there, but I've always gotten takeout. Looks like a nice spot to sit, eat, and possibly even do some work with ample space.

    Rating this spot what I'm rating because the fried chicken dishes were the main things I'd order…read moreagain, compared to everything else. The chicken itself was pretty juicy and crispy, but it tended to be more on the drier side for my personal taste. As for other options, like the fish sandwich and the sausage, they were pretty ordinary to me - and a smidgen overpriced for what they were. Anyway, though the chicken was good, me and the wife experienced a moderate amount of stomach discomfort that we'd like to attribute to this visit - given how this was the only spot we went to for food (and how it was more or less the only meal we had that day). So... hesitant to go back, but might give this joint another chance... just not in the near future.
