    First time coming here! Not bad... I always get the same thing if I can, lychee fruit tea. There was the green tea and the oolong tea; I went with green tea. Recommended sweet option was listed at 50% but I usually get 100% or 70% so I went with the 70%. Should've gotten the recommendation because it was indeed, sweeeeeet. My partner order passionfruit green tea with 30% sugar and it was also pretty sweet still. Was able to satisfy my boba crave but wish I tasted more of the tea. There's definitely room for improvement and I'm sure I'll see it next time I'm here. Very clean store. I like the vibe, super chill. Nice hangout spot. Kiosk was convenient.

    I really like the lychee tea with coconut jelly. Sweet and tart all at once. The service is good the place is clean and the parking is ample.

    Creme brulee strawberry milk tea

    Got creme brule strawberry latte and oolong tea. Just opened and got these two drinks. Service was a bit slow as there was still quite a bit of training going on on how to make the drinks. The oolong tea was without sugar and tasted pretty standard. The creme brule latte was good. They torch the top like real creme brule. I got it 30% sweet which was even too much. The strawberry syrup in the bottom made it enough sweet. Their menu seems small compared to other bubble tea places and even compared to other Gong Cha's I've been to. It has some potential and I can see it being better and more smoothly run in about 6 months.

    I remember wandering over to my first Gong Cha location in San Jose when they first opened. The lines there were sprawling and it took almost an hour to get my drink. Back then, the boba craze hadn't swept through the US yet, and Gong Cha had only recently begun its expansion in the US. Nowadays, this chain can be found in most major cities and Metro Detroit has finally joined the ranks (not discounting the location over in Windsor). As I walked in over the first weekend after opening, I found only a couple of other patrons ahead of me - surprising, given the popularity of this chain in other regions. Luckily the lack of traffic didn't impact the quality of the drink. Original Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sugar, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6.60) - Gong Cha is pretty consistent with drinks in the US, and this location is no exception. The milk tea is fragrant, with some Oolong-like fruity undertones, which pairs well with the concentrated taste of the milk powder. The boba, as with other locations, is on the smaller size - not to the point of being mini boba, but smaller than most other shops. As with my experience in the past, the chew is a bit more firm than perfection (at least for me), but offers a pleasant bite nonetheless. The exterior of the boba is a bit sticky, like it's been soaked in honey or brown sugar. Overall it's a solid drink. I don't consider it to be top tier, but it's one that I wouldn't mind having once in a while as an alternative to my regular rotation. Milk Tea Rating: (4/5) Boba Rating: (4/5) I'm happy to see another consistent chain is now on the US side of the Detroit River. Additional options for boba are always welcome. Note: The kiosk charges a service fee, which in my case was approximately 2.5%. They are currently offering a coupon for buy-2-get-1-free after your first purchase. I don't know when the offer ends. Bathrooms - One unisex room featuring a strange dyson combo faucet/hand dryer that is awkward to use.

    The service is wonderful. Very clean and great atmosphere will continue to keep coming to this place. I travel over a hour to come here.

    Wintermelon Milk Tea

    Standard basic boba tea. I am not even sure I got what I order, didn't keep the receipt to see if they heard my order correctly. I ordered the winter melon milk tea, which tasted like basic milk/coffee tea. Couldn't taste any melon. The cashier was nice and the place was well decorated with good amount of seating.

    I've heard good things about this place and I went with my boyfriend. We went around lunchtime so it was busy but the service was good and did not take long. I also liked the overall aesthetic of the place. We ordered the Waffle with Pearls (not pictured) with all 3 sauces and the Crème Brûlée Strawberry Latte and Matcha Smoothie. I was excited to eat the waffle and it was simple but still yummy. The drinks were good and we adjusted the sugar level to be lower but it was still quite sweet but I didn't mind. I would like to try the other flavors in the future.

    No. This can't be a Gong cha chain. Their menu is smaller than their online menu. Milk tea somehow taste like soy milk. I have no idea how you do that. Herbal jelly is more like gelatin than herbal jelly. It is hard and tasteless. Seems like the owner use cheaper ingredients than what they supposed to be.

    Coming back from a long hiatus on Yelp to leave a 5-star review for this little family owned…read morerestaurant in Madison Heights. We saw a few reviews and thought we had to try it - we ordered three entrées, as well as a bubble tea. The bubble tea was amazing - we ordered an oolong lychee tea with Boba. The boba was soft and chewy and exactly the right texture, and the tea was perfectly sweet and fresh. Out of the three entrees that we ordered, we loved the wide rice noodles with beef the most. It was so delicious with great beefy flavor, and just the right amount of char on the beef. The noodles were also done to exactly the right consistency. We also loved the pork belly rice bowl, which felt like a dish that my mom would make at home. The mapo tofu was also incredible, with just the right amount of that numbing Sichuan peppercorn flavor. Overall, the portions were huge! We didn't expect to get as much food as we did, and we definitely have leftovers for the rest of the week. Love this place, and we will be back again!

Good options from meats, veggies, noodles, fish/meat balls, etc. Very easy to rack up to nearly 2lbs of food... but makes for great leftovers. Had to top it off with a refreshing, icy dessert. The perfect combination. The taro paste was so delicious. Lots of places to sit. Staff is swift and kind. Would return!

    We tried the new food court concept here. I loved it! It was so much fun going to different windows…read moreto try so many new items. We got a few items from Cheng's dim sum. I got some sticky rice, a beef rice roll, fried sticks, and tofu skin rolls. From Tabe sushi we got a tempura chicken roll. From Yuan Yang, we got chicken skewers, a chicken sandwich, and two drinks, a mango pomelo sage and watermelon coconut water drink. It was all pretty good, some a bit more expensive than others, but we will definitely be back to try more. We cannot wait to try Mala Town and the yet to open Thai food stall. I was also happy to see the main store food court area is still available. We ordered a to-go plate for my other child. She wanted crawfish. It was such an amazing deal, we got 2.5 pounds of spicy crawfish for $20! You can see the photo below. It was so large, they put it in a metal tray and I needed a box to get it home. Although three of us were eating it, it was quite literally party sized. I love all of the updates they are doing here, including creating a new grab-and-go area where they were placing sushi from the food court, and their updated toy section in the front. It seems like they are making a lot of positive changes here. I do miss the old area near the bakery where you could get Halo Halo. Perhaps they will bring back that dish to the food court?

The 168 restaurant offers a large selection of prepared Chinese dishes sold by the pound - meats, vegetables, noodle dishes, including fresh warm soy milk. You can also place an order for items pictured on the wall by number. We placed an order for the duck soup $10.99 - duck was good but soup broth wasn't flavorful and noodles weren't fresh and were overcooked. It came in a carry out bowl, comparable to an XL size instant ramen bowl. Service in this area was ok, the cashier taking the order was impatient because we could not understand what she was saying and thus took longer to place the order. BBQ - we ordered the roast duck rice meal which came with a lot of rice, chopped duck pieces, steamed green veg and a small container of sauce. Duck meat was very tasty but very cold, and deceivingly a small amount of meat in the meal because it was full of bones. Regardless it was still a decent value for $8.98. Service was quick, but a bit unfriendly as well. I would come back to buy the roasted meats but would buy whole or large cuts (I.e. whole duck, whole chicken), cut it up myself to minimize bones in each bite and warm it up at home.

Upon entering the place is cute with plenty of tables to sit and relax. There is a huge menu available upon entering the shop. There are so many different options you can pick and choose from. Overall, the shop was clean and inviting. I decided to try the WOW Oreo per the cashier's recommendation since I can't have caffeine while I'm pregnant. There was a huge order ahead of mine and I thought I was going to be waiting for my one drink for a little while they accommodate the large order, but I was wrong. We probably waited no less than 5 minutes until my number was called to pick up. I could feel the warm dark sugary boba at the bottom of the cup. It was so good. I love that the chunks of Oreo weren't too big that couldn't get through the straw. Bonus for me at least, the milk wasn't too sweet which was perfect because the brown sugar boba was incredibly sweet already. The boba was cooked perfectly, not too chewy, or undercooked. I can't wait to go back and order more from their menu. The options are endless.
