I haven't been to Gong Cha since Covid. I've had a lot of bubble tea but the oolong lychee that I ordered didn't have a lot of boba. They were skimpy. No one was inside eating or drinking. A few people came in to pick up their order. The kiosk ordering was confusing. I should have just ordered from the employee since she wasn't doing anything. read more

Gong Cha - Lychee Oolong Tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

Love the decor and vibe in here! Definitely is a fun place to hang out. The store was clean and there's ample parking. The employee was friendly and helpful. Funny I had never been in here until yesterday and I'm in this shopping center pretty often. I ordered the dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba of course. I thought it was just ok. I didn't want it too sweet, but it tasted a bit watered down. I would come here again, but maybe I'd order something else. read more

This is a standard bubble/boba/etc. tea shop, nothing too out of the ordinary. But, NINE BUCKS for a tea?? I'm sorry, it's just too much. This went from a novelty dessert/break spot to a luxury item. You can tell me that this is the cost of inflation, that this is the new normal. I call "nonsense" on that. It's too high. I've come to terms with seven dollar large drinks at Starbucks, so why pay even more for a mostly automated product here? Everything is made by machines, and even the ordering is done via kiosk now. (btw, side note, I do love that there is a kiosk for ordering! I'm never sure what I want to get at one of these places, so having the time to look through the menu without pressure is very welcomed!) I'd talk about the service, but there isn't any. There is literally the minimal required human interaction here, so I can't say whether the staff is friendly or not! The drinks are fine. Quite tasty, actually. And you can get them to specification (not as sweet, more or less ice, etc.). I do appreciate the vastness of customization here. But, again, for the cost of my brown sugar tea, it's hard to justify these days. I'm very glad to have one of these shops nearby, but I don't see myself visiting as often going forward. read more

Boba was very undercooked! I got a strawberry green tea and there was no sugar, soooo bitter. I have come here a few times and every time there has been something off with my drink. No sugar, bad boba are the most common. read more

Tried the matcha marble latte at a different location and loved it so much I tried it here. It was just as good. The aesthetic of this place is amazing. The staff there is so friendly. There are so many games here to play. Will be coming back again. read more

3.5 stars for gong cha fulton location. PLEASE NOTE I rate my boba shops based on the quality of their tapioca pearls, not tea. We went on a rainy evening and the place was pretty empty. Service was good, fast, but the tapioca pearls felt a little mush - not chewy enough. Taro smoothie itself tasted great, I would give the smoothie 4 star, pearls 3 star, hence an average of 3.5. I've tastes worst pearls, but also better ones. They had a cute space, offered board games. It looks like a fun hangout spot. read more

Been here 3 days in a row. I am so happy to have this tea place near me! First the ambiance is super awesome! I wish I was in high school again so I could come here and hang out with my friends. They have a cool place to sit on the ground in the corner. They also have board games. Lots of tables to sit at too. The staff was very friendly. The women who took my order were very friendly and patient with me. I asked them many questions each time I came in. Finally the tea was great. I love tea! It is one of my passions in life. I found the tea to be great. My favorite so far was the strawberry green tea with milk. I added bubbles and got 30% sugar. It was amazing. It tasted like a delicious glass of strawberry milk with the perfect hint of tea. I can't wait to come here and try out all their drinks. So far I have been pleased with all 3 hot tea drinks. I also got some passsion fruit green tea with bubbles and enjoyed it too. If you do not like too much sweetness I recommend you get 30% sugar. The price is great for the tea you are getting. I will be back here kfte read more

Can't go wrong with gongs cha to fill your boba cravings. The Fulton location is similar to other gong cha's in the area but this one serves egg waffles. The boba was good, and prepared fast. The egg waffle took a little bit longer but it was worth the wait. I didn't get any additional toppings but it was still the right amount of sweetness. Loved the cute Christmas decorations they put up and the staff were helpful and courteous. read more

definitely my favorite boba place! We always go here whenever we eat at Libs grill. We always try to get boba for dessert. Such a good place i know they are a franchise but this boba gets things done quick though. I have been to the ellicot city location, and arundel Location. And the Catonsville location .This Gongcha location beats those 3 when it comes to speed. read more

How to order: 1) select a drink 2) select a size 3) select sugar level (0, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100%) 4) select ice cube (0, 30%, 70%, 100%) 5) select toppings My drink: Medium Taro with 100% sugar and ice. I thought it tasted artificial and powdery. It left an aftertaste in my mouth. I know this is a popular chain, but I've had better boba drinks elsewhere. Ambiance: Super cute hangout spot. They have board games in the back and they have floor seat cushions and mini floor tables in the front. Customer Service: Unlike other reviews, I found the staff to be friendly. They greeted patrons upon entering. Final Thoughts: I'm not sure if I would return to this location. Maybe the quality depends on the location, who makes the drink and what type of drink you get. My friend loves Gong Cha. Cute hangout spot to catch up with friends. read more

This gong cha used to be a weekly go-to everyday hopping off from the Scaggsville Park and Ride across the street. The local area is great and I am glad they build this gong cha. Back when I was a regular, the staff all knew me (it seemed like most of them were high school students or young adults) and they were all so friendly. It was a nice vibe. Sometimes they would mess up the order now and then, and depending on the rush it might be a lil bit of a wait as they make the order. The drinks were solid, and they also have the Clover points to allow one to get a free drink every now and then. The shop is very nicely decorated. They have this corner with mini floor cushions and small tables that seems very well put together. There are also a good selection board games, and a wall for any quick pics. read more

If you are familiar with milk tea and boba, Gong Cha definitely hits the craving for a nice staple milk tea. That being said there will always be other better places to go to, but for a Fulton location close to home I have been a repeat customer. Place is usually not too busy which means easy in and out convenience. Go grab some boba! read more

Gong Cha - Left: Honeydew Milk Tea with Pearls Right: Milk Tea with Pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

I love bubble tea. The toppings. The tea. The boba. I go out of my way for bubble tea and doing so to visit this location was well worth it. This shop is in the same parking area as Harris Teeter and so after shopping I decided to treat myself. I love a good black milk tea with boba and pudding so I decided to try something a little different and get a strawberry milk foam tea. Actually, I take that back. I first tried to order a fresh taro drink, but they were out, so I went back to the colorful pictures on the menu and picked another drink. You really can't go wrong! And alas, this strawberry milk foam tea was delicious. The shop itself is really cute, it wasn't super busy when we were there but there was a steady flow of customers. Compared with the two other locations I've visited, I would definitely return here to sit down and relax with a bubble tea and maybe play one of the board games they have out. I'll be back next time I'm in the area! read more

My kids like this location. They swear the tea tastes better. Friendly staff. Good spot to sit and enjoy your drink

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 Each cup has more balls than a game of PING PONG CHA Take tiny sips in an attempt to PROLONG CHA Hide in the back like you're in the VIETCONG CHA People will do anything to get more GONG CHA This is a pretty delightful Gong Cha that is really busy even though it's out of the way in a brand new shopping mall. It was absolutely packed and they were very friendly indeed. What to get: Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Strawberry Milk Tea, Regular Milk Tea, Waffle w/Boba. What not to get: Inseminated by your bf's micro-prong-cha. Lovely and shiny and new with so much great decor and little cuddly stuffed animals that I really loved. The only issue is there's a lot of the newer drinks that they don't seem to have on the menu yet, but nevertheless the strawberry black tea that they made was yum and better than I remember the strawberry black at Gong Cha being - except that it was too sweet in a sort of strawberry syrup kind of way, so I think next time I'll have to get it less sweet if I get this drink again. Gong Cha is one of the best chains there is, especially if they have some of their standout items such as the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea on their new Dirty menu, and I also recommend the surprisingly excellent Strawberry Milk Tea, or the regular Milk Tea. Certainly the milk teas are the highlight for me, and these three are exemplary. They filmed Gong With The Wind and Gong In Sixty Seconds here. But not Gong Baby Gong. That was at a different GC location. read more

I bought 2 drinks and they didn't make them as they are, I decided to keep one and change the other and she didn't do it as it was, I asked her for my money back and she started arguing that if I didn't like it you can go because I won't give you the money back wow ...... never coming back to this place bad customer service read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

The drinks here are still remarkably bad. I was really hoping that my first experience was an anomaly, but nope.. Got 100% sugar in my mango green tea and it's still tasteless. The bubbles have the most flavor--can't taste any mango. I also got a mango smoothie, which was okay. Could actually taste the sweetness in there. Still, I feel like I wasted $11. Probably won't be coming back to this location. Boba-bye, Gong Cha. read more

Gong Cha - Mango Green Tea (very bland, wouldn't recommend) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

Gong Cha is conveniently located in the Dane Plaza as Harris Teeter and I visited for my bubble tea fix while in town. The interior is bright, clean, cute, and instagram worthy. If I lived here, I would come every time I went grocery shopping. I ordered a large fresh taro milk bubble tea with tapioca, 75% sweetness. I liked the chunks of taro at the bottom and the texture of the tapioca. 75% sweetness level was perfect. They have a pretty extensive menu so it took me awhile to decide what to get. You can also add things like grass jelly or pudding. read more

Gong Cha is awesome-- and I continue to be pleasantly surprised by it every time I visit. You walk in and are greeted by quirky, youthful, yet inviting decor. The people behind the counter are more than friendly and will explain the menu to you (because it can get a bit confusing). The bubble tea itself is fantastic and all the flavors I've had were great. I wish the menu and flavors were as clear and expansive as other competitors like Kung Fu though. I've tried the Wintermelon and Taro milk teas, both of which are excellent. It's really nice that you can tailor the sugar and ice level in your drink to your perfect level. The bubbles are always fresh and not too tough or chewy-- the hallmark sign of a great boba spot. The place itself is really nice. There is a ton of seating and a variety of seating options-- from the playful lounge seating up front to the bench that runs the length of the store with tables. Way back, there is a longer high-top table that is great for groups or for getting work done. All in all, Gong Cha is a great addition to the Fulton area. Kung Fu Tea is right down 29 by Columbia Mall but Gong Cha's playful atmosphere and local feel give it an edge over its competition. read more

Totally surprised that there was a Gong Cha in Fulton, MD! It's only about a year old with a convenient private lot and adorable, interior aesthetics. Drinks taste pretty standard to any other location, but 5 stars for outstanding services and consistent quality drinks. I ordered the Large green milk tea with the milk foam and white pearls at no sugar and 30% ice. I also ordered a large oolong tea with red beans 30% sugar and ice for a family member and they loved it as well. Gong Cha does an amazing job at keeping the authentic tea taste in their beverages so nothing is overly sweetened or watered down. Seriously, they're one of my favorite bubble tea companies to go to. Aesthetically, there's tons of wooden tables with drapery for a bit of privacy. There's also a sitting area with pillow cushions where you can drink and chat with friends by the windows. There's one large table in the back where I noticed a lot of people actually work quietly with their laptops. Generally, I don't usually consider boba shops as a place of study but hey to each their own. I'm so stoked that I finally visited this location. Will be back! read more

Gong Cha - Large Green Milk Tea with milk foam and white pearls 0% sugar and 30% ice! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

Came here with my husband for a quick dessert after eating at SteelFire. The location itself was very cute and seems to be set up for groups to be hanging out - there was a large group of teenagers, and another 1-2 families there while we ordered. My husband had some questions about ordering a drink without dairy in it, and they were very helpful in giving some suggestions and knew all the drinks very well. I ordered a taro bubble tea with 50% sugar and it was really was SO sweet still! My husband ordered something with a more fruity flavor - can't remember what exactly it was - but I know it was pretty good! I will say for a Saturday evening, there was a rush but they seemed to be getting out orders quickly. We'll definitely be back here again when we're in the area! read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fulton, Maryland

3.5 Stars- Knowing that this is a franchise/chain, here is a simple breakdown of their quality/taste compared to the other local Gong Cha's in the DMV: A Medium Milk Tea with 70% sugar and 30% ice tastes more like a very diluted tea, 30% sugar, and no ice, so I would adjust based on that. I'm sensitive to excess sugar dosage, so this was just fine for me, but I could def see how this would upset people. read more

My boyfriend and I have made Gong Cha a weekly routine for the past few months and every time we go, we try our drinks and think "dang, we really need to leave them a good review." And I'm finally getting around to it. My boyfriend's family is military and he spent several years living in Japan and always jumps at the chance to have bubble tea whenever we find it. At Gong Cha, the drinks, first and foremost, have always been fantastic. We've been probably about 15 times and we both get something different every time. Never once have either of us gotten anything we didn't like. The employees are always friendly, the drinks are (almost) always ready when we walk in, and we've never once left dissatisfied or unhappy. We had one instance where we waited quite a while for our drinks but they were visibly short-staffed so it was a small inconvenience at worst. The only thing we've ever had that we didn't completely love is the waffles. They're good, but not great, and pretty pricey. They're a neat novelty but not something we've decided to get a second time. Overall, definitely one of our favorite places to go for a drink. read more

I am a boba enthusiast. So when I heard they were opening up a Gong Cha within walking distance from work, I was ecstatic. The shop is super clean and has some very cute decor. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There are also board games and card games stacked on a shelf near the back for customers. Tried their strawberry matcha latte. Not a big fan of their strawberry flavor, but that's not really an issue since that's not my regular drink of choice. I usually get Peach Oolong or Lychee Oolong and they're great. read more

1.0 - Black Milk Tea: flavor is weak and inconsistent. One time it seemed surprisingly watered down. 3.0 - Grass Jelly: strong flavor, nice and dense consistency. Not much provided, however. It's super busy but that's expected as it just opened up. Will have to see how the service and tea quality is a few months from now. read more

First off, I'd love the atmosphere when came inside. The wall decoration is too cute to resist:) I am aso a big of Brownie and I fell in love with this wall. Then, I ordered the milk foam green tea.

My bros and I have been coming here nonstop since its opening. I really enjoy all of the fruit infused teas and slushees. The slushees are surprisingly really good. They're creamy and very well blended. It's really annoying when you get ice shards in your slush, so I'm really happy that they take their time to blend everything out. The fruit infused teas can be quite sweet so I recommend getting 30-50% sweetness. My bros love their wintermelon milk drink because it's not watered down like some of the other places. Keep the drinks consistent and we'll keep coming back!! read more

3.5 stars. The place itself is sooo cute. You want to take pictures all over the place. My sister got the strawberry creme brûlée and I got the sparkling passion fruit tea with strawberry popping bubbles. My sister wishes she'd gotten the drink 50%, but she really enjoyed it. I've never had sparkling tea, but it was good. My only complaint was that their strawberry popping bubbles were actually strawberry jelly. I did NOT like that. Overall it was convenient and a great way to get our tea fix, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to go there specifically. The service was fairly quick, but you could tell they were overwhelmed because they were not friendly at all. read more

Honestly, every time I go, I'm disappointed in their drinks. I've gone a handful of times all over the world (I've gone in multiple states in the US, in Korea, etc) and I'm always just...disappointed in this chain. These drinks were ok..but the brown sugar was too sweet for me and I asked for the fresh taro milk tea drink but they gave me the regular taro milk tea. It was a basic taro drink I guess. Just...ok. read more

I was visiting my friend and she took me here for bubble tea! I ordered the strawberry creme brûlée smoothie. I absolutely loved it! The strawberry actually tasted like strawberry and the cream wasn't too sweet. I would definitely order this smoothie again In order to place an order you need to call the number, and they will bring it out to you. My friend tried calling the number several times but it didn't work. Finally when I tried on my phone the number went straight through. I'm not sure why but just something to keep in mind. We also didn't get a number so we weren't sure how to know which order was our, or what to label our Venmo transaction. Luckily we were the only people waiting at the time we placed our order so there were no issues. I would just make sure you ask what your order number is before hanging up! read more

As someone who visited their store almost weekly, I'm sad to say they've lost a customer after my most recent visit. The service here has gotten progressively worse with employees always sitting around on their phones (which I can overlook since they're probably high school/college kids), but it hit an all time low last week. We walked in and waited about 5 mins at the register before someone finally walked over. The two baristas were making drinks and we're busy, cool I get it. When she finally came over, the barista decides to stand there, take a sip of her bubble tea, and then stares at us without greeting us as if she was doing us a favor by walking over. No "Hi", "How are you", "What can I get for you", she just sips away at her bubble tea and stares at us blatantly. I don't ask for much nor do I have high expectations but as a customer I think it's incredibly rude for an employee to not have common courtesy to greet their customers and just be polite. I'm sorry to say I won't be supporting them any longer. Their bubble tea isn't much different or better from other places nearby and I'd rather drive the extra 5 mins to Kung Fu Tea in Columbia where they treat their customers with respect and are friendly. Smh. read more

Gourmet bubble tea shop in Fulton, MD. Drinks here are pretty good, with a variety of flavours not found at some of the more common tea shops in the area. They are a bit pricy as well, but you do get a quality product. The facility is very modern and trendy, with lots of pillows and spots to lounge around. A good thing, because service can sometimes be slow. Overall a nice spot for arrest if you are in the area, but probably not worth going out of your way for. read more

Gong Cha surprises me; it comes up with new, seasonal flavors, however, they have not added the ginger flavor to the menu while Kung Fu Tea offers the ginger.

So please Gong Cha, add ginger right now and I will be forever grateful. read more
