    Thai mango milk tea & smoothies
    Ames C.

    A bit late on posting but didn't want to forget my experience at this Gong Cha location...during this past summer, I always come to 8th Ave for foodie adventures or doctor's appointments. I always passed by this location but never really go in except for this one time when they had a promo of their Thai Mango series which I had to try. So glad I did. They were deliciously made. You could taste the sweet mango in every sip. Even though this location is much smaller than their other locations, it still served its purpose of making good quality drinks.

    I'm so surprised to see that this place only has only three stars because I've always had such a good experience with them. I think the girls up front are very patient, accommodating, and try their best to meet the needs of their customers. I've seen some very rude customers at this gong cha and I think these girls handle the situation in a composed and respectful manner. I love coming to this Gong Cha because the tea always taste fresh and the proportions are perfect. I prefer drinks that are not overly sweet and they do it just right. My go to drinks are passion fruit green tea, jasmine milk tea, oolong milk tea, lychee slush, anything with yakult, and anything from their milk foam series. The milk foam is creamy and just melts in your mouth. My favorite toppings are the bubbles and lychee jelly. One of my pet peeves is having mushy toppings but their toppings are the perfect consistency and compliments the drinks very well. Atmosphere is nice and clean but one down side is they don't have a seating area. Also, they always have some sort of promotion going on so make sure to look out for that. It's always a good deal. There are some cute merch items as well! Overall, a solid bubble tea shop that tastes better than most bubble tea places in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

    Gong with the wind

    They filmed Gong With The Wind and Gong In Sixty Seconds here. But not Gong Baby Gong. That was at a different GC location. This is the GC location that is in the new up-and-coming bustling Chinatown of Brooklyn. Yes Brooklyn has its own Chinatown and it's pretty awesome. It's not as great as Flushing or as famous as Manhattan version but it's still really cool. So come and give it a try. See what you think. This GC is right on the corner and it's pretty busy and pretty cool and pretty standard really. I like it but I'm not going to give it five stars because I've been starting to be obsessed with things like Sharetea and Tea Top when it comes to the chain franchises lately. And I guess we should end with - Students love it more than they love Beer PONG CHA It's so addictive they could put it in a BONG CHA My flagpole makes your bf's look like a little PRONG CHA But I know you'll forgive him if he takes you to GONG CHA

    This is the cold version of the #dirtybrownsugarmilk
    Karen Y.

    This is a very tiny space (very small) but wow... they somehow manage their orders correctly. Impressive line management, quick service and they make a pretty good boba drink. Just wish the place looks slightly neater... I was craving my brown sugar boba, and found a substitute version... here at Gong Cha, it's call "Dirty Brown Sugar" and I had it hot! It was pretty good. Gong Cha - actual boba are smaller than their competitors. Went back another day and tried the cold version. I still preferred the cold version but in the midst of frigid weather... the hot "dirty brown sugar" boba is a good option. Enjoy!

    Fast and accurate. No fuss and good milk tea. I like how Gong Cha allows for adjustments in sugar level and ice. TBH I like it waay better than Tiger Sugar. Currently (due to COVID), it is a window where you order, pay, wait a bit, and get your milk tea; no sitting area. But I like it like that. It is in an inconspicuous corner among other grocery stores and shops so it is easy to miss. But once you find it, it is worth it.

    Waited in line for a while with a woman taking her time ordering and then when it was my turn...the cashier took the guy behind me just coz he ordered online and he's picking up...and she didn't even say anything or apologize at all...I didn't order anything and never will...

    Didn't know mosquito is a topping. I was passing by the area visiting family and found it in my drink after I left Brooklyn. Very annoyed.

    Bad attitude& rude customer service

    4 stars for the drinks BUT!! 1 star for the service We went there on Sunday, July 7th. I then point at Milk form green tea on the menu in front of the counter and ordered with big face Asian lady. She then respond Milk green tea? I say "yes, milk foam green tea". And also ordered brown sugar oolong tea . It should be done right? But nope!! We got wrong orders. We walked back to the store asking the same lady politely that we got the wrong one. She saids she didn't hear that I ordered Milk Foam Green Tea. She also assure that she repeat it to me. I saids I heard that and I also did repeat Milk foam green tea 2 times. Long story short, she told us to pay more. We are okay to pay more if those drink were price differently. But she told us to pay FOR A NEW WHOLE DRINK ?? Excuse me! Are you kidding me? I denied. We then argued a little while. Thing that made me upset is she thought that she is right and the way she acted is arrogant. I know that her English is not her first language but she should get her ear checked several time before placing the order. I have never argued so loud like this in my life. I used to worked at restaurant and I would say apologize and give them a new drink rather than arguing with them. I'm pretty sure that making one more drink for apologize is better than lose your customers. I saw that this lady also got one complained on yelp. Dont she not willing to improve her customer service? What a shame!

    What's up with this milk foam drink? This was my first time ordering outside of my usual matcha flavor and loved it. I had the milk foam earl grey, milk foam oolong tea and lemon yogurt. The teas were so strong and tasty! I surprisingly enjoyed the lemon yogurt drink as well. I loved that all the drinks did not have the fake powder taste. I have no idea if they use powder or not but I enjoyed the calories from these drinks.

    Would prefer this place for bubble tea. Sugar and ice can be adjusted. However, some of the cashiers just gotta get their ears checked like they just don't understand what your order is. More like they are all Asians and have a heavy accent. I'm Asian myself but still they can't get my order correct. Overall, I would still go back once in a while for the drinks because it does taste good. J

Busy but fairly…read moreclean, lots of foot traffic, people come and go, but otherwise a great spot to grab a drink or a bite with friends. There's a lot of bubble tea competition in the area so it's nice to see them thriving. My usual rotation is: Wonder Grape - light and refreshing, my most ordered drink Hojicha Latte - my caffeine pick when I want that roasted flavor Coco Mango - more of a dessert drink, reminds me of mango sai mai lo Mochi O Sesame - dessert like, creamy and satisfying Pomegranate Burst - my no caffeine antioxidant pink drink during that time Persimmon series - my actual favorite but it only shows up during the fall season They also have snacks like popcorn chicken, crispy chicken burgers, and eggy waffles. One thing though, this location doesn't seem to carry the cauliflower that I've had and liked from other Jooy spots. I still think their older signature drinks are the most reliable. Some of the newer series feel a little rushed. I tried the pear series and the pear tasted unripe while the pomelo was a lot which made the drink come out pretty bitter. The guava series was also too light when I tried it, almost like guava tinted tea.

    My journey to try every tea spot lead me to a new location once again…read more Came in and noticed a persimmon drink, I knew I had to try it! (One of my favorite fruits.) it's a nice shop that has a few seats to sit and sip. The drink came out very quickly as well. The drink itself was fresh and refreshing, had bits and pieces of persimmons which enhanced the taste. Highly Recommend trying this flavor

My sister has the app, so she was able to order for pick-up. The order took 20 minutes, so we went to pick up some groceries in the area before heading to pick up the drinks. When you first walk in, you are hit with the lovely and fragrant smell of tea leaves, and freshly brewed tea. I went with one of the more popular drinks - Coconut Mango Blue. I don't normally love coconut flavor but you couldn't taste it too much here. You taste more of the mango flavor, which was refreshing. I had never had blue spirulina before and it didn't really taste like anything. Again, you just taste more of the mango. Hubby had the Green Grape Boom, which was a little melty by the time he drank it so it would have tasted much better if it was still slushy. I think next time, I would try just a plain Jasmine tea, so that I could really taste the flavor of the tea.

Almost all other tea shops in this neighborhood close pretty early so that definitely sets this establishment apart. The milk tea was made well, just the appropriate amount of sweetness.

Both were very patient as we looked through the menu. My sister ended up ordering the kumquat lemon green tea with no sugar, and I really liked how the tea-rista/cashier advised that she get it with 30% sugar as it may be too sour for her taste. My sister reassured her that she wanted it with no sugar, and then the tea-rista in training proceeded to make her drink. The kumquat lemon green tea was tart like my sister preferred, the service was quick, and the staff were very nice. Overall, pleasant experience.
