I usually get their wintermelon milk tea (which is always a classic that I like), but I decided to come try their XL size. There is an upcharge, but for the size, I think it is a fair price. There are only limited flavors you can get in the XL size, though. I got the brown sugar milk tea with no toppings. I was pleasantly surprised. The brown sugar added a strong sweetness to the milk tea, which I liked, but the tea itself was also pretty strong. I liked that it didn't taste diluted, even though there was much more ice in the drink. Next time, I would want to try it in a large size and get boba with it too. They have a parking lot, but sometimes it gets full. The inside is a bit small, making it better to visit if you just want to order to-go.
Clean lil place, parking out front. Staff was friendly. You can order drinks with 50% sugar or less or more, ice is also ordered at a percentage. I ordered a peach green tea with 50% sugar, and light ice with mango popping pearls. My niece ordered wintermelon milk foam tea. Both made a expected. If you're looking for a refreshing drink I definitely recommend this place. No public restroom unless you're a customer.
The drinks were great and everyone was super friendly. We did get 70% sugar on the drinks but the crème brûlée brown sugar milk tea was way sweeter. I would recommend both drinks :) The shop was a little smaller and space was limited, however, it was clean and well kept. There was parking available
Went to gong cha for their buy one get one from the top 5 deal a couple weeks ago and again for my birthday $5. I got the pearl milk tea and let my friend get the get one offer. I usually don't get boba in my drinks but this one already comes with boba. I really liked the milk tea though. It was pretty strong. I came in again and got the earl grey milk tea with pudding and I really liked that as well
My first time walking into and trying the establishment. I was able to take my time for my first time ordering which was nice. I'm not sure if the guy who took my order was just having a bad day or I just came at the wrong time; but he was just a tad bit rude when answering some of my questions I had. The other guy who made my drink for me was really nice and helpful with my questions though and the tea was pretty good!
I really enjoy Gong Cha drinks and this was my first visit to the midtown location. Today was National Boba Day so they were giving away boba pins & stickers with your purchase which were super cute! My go to drink is the sparkling lychee with star jelly instead of mango jelly. I also got the strawberry milk slush for my daughter & a strawberry matcha latte with boba & sub with almond milk for my bestie. We all loved our drinks! Very refreshing especially with the rising Houston heat. The employee taking my order was nice and patient while I carefully looked over the menu. The sitting area is small but I was still able to find a seat on a weekday around 2:30 pm & plenty of parking spots. This Gong Cha provides quality drinks like other franchises I've visited and a great location for us in the city.
Located in a small shopping plaza next to BWW, Gyu Kaku, and the dim sum spot in Midtown. Parking is available and easy to find. This location's interior is quite small compared to their Heights spot. The drinks were fine; we hung around for a bit after we got our drinks and the staff just went to watch videos on their tablets which was slightly odd. Overall, it's not a bad choice for the area; the only boba spots nearby are Kung Fu and the new Feng Cha within the lower downtown/Midtown area.
Super disappointed coming back. I've been trying to avoid caffeine for personal reasons so coming for my boba fix, I knew there were limited options for me to choose from. At first I wanted to get a slush, but preferred real fruit. Turns out, they don't use real fruit in any of their slushes here. So I moved on to the Crème Brûlée Strawberry Latte. I asked for 25% sugar and they said they can't adjust the sugar levels in this. Okay cool. So I opted for the Lemon Wintermelon Basil Seed drink, 25% sugar. Nope, can't adjust the sugar level for this either. Okay, fine. Passionfruit yogurt drink it is, 25% sugar. Nope, can't adjust? Mango yogurt drink, 25% sugar? Nope. At this point, there's literally one option left for no caffeine - the Lemon Ai-Yu White Pearl. Finally, they let me adjust the sugar on this. I ask for boba with this and they told me the "white Pearls" are boba. Okay cool. Once I get the drink, I took a look at the white pearls and it looks more like jelly than boba. So I ask to purchase a side of boba. The employee insisted that the white Pearl was boba and that I didn't need to get a side of boba. I take their word for it and drive home. That was a big mistake. I should have tried the drink there because the white Pearl is indeed a lot more jelly like, and not boba like at all. It lacks the chewiness of a boba ball. Unfortunately, between the lack of fresh fruit used, the inability to adjust the sugar level on so many drinks and the claim that their white Pearl is boba from the worker there, I definitely won't be coming back to this Gong Cha.
This one locates right next to Gyu kaku Drink is good and price range is OK. Parking is a bit tough to find if u go there during lunch hour
I visited this location when I was waiting for my next Flix bus. This location is a two minute walk from the bus parking lot. The location was extremely clean, and service was top notch. The staff was extremely friendly. I went to the restroom and it was really really clean. I had the strawberry milk slush with pearls and 70% sugar. This was exactly what I needed. And quenched my thirst. The restaurant wasn't busy, even though it was almost 3 PM. There were two other people working on their computers. I'm so glad that I decided to stop in this location.
Extremely rude, hostile, and offensive staff. Ordered an "XL" drink which has an up charge of a dollar. I asked for light ice. When I received the XL drink it was at least half ice if not more. That's about 14 ounces to 16 ounces of ice. I didn't walk even two steps from the counter, I went to the back of the line and waited until it was my turn to talk to them about it. When I told him that I was not happy with that, that they could have the drink back, and that I wanted my money back, they refused and the manager said "I'm not gonna deal with you. I don't have time for you". I said, you can't charge more for a drink that you give less actual liquid in. I just paid over nine dollars for this drink and there's less liquid than a large. I said, You can get a large cup, and see that this is not more liquid, you're just charging extra to give less drink. The manager said "do it yourself, I'm not gonna do it for you" when I took the drink and poured it into the large cup. It was only 3/4 full so basically they're selling a drink that's supposed to be a 32 ounce drink, which one would assume would have at least 25 ounces of beverage in it, for an extra dollar,to give you less beverage. It's really unbelievable to be so blatant about ripping people off, and then be so incredibly rude when somebody calls you on it. Deceptive business practices are not the way to go, and being rude just because someone points out that you're ripping them off is also extremely bad business practice. Refusing to give a refund for a drink that hasn't left the building and that hasn't been taken more than two steps from the counter is pretty outrageous.

I visited other Gong Cha locations in Houston and this one had the friendliest staff. The decor is cute and it was clean. Our Matcha was good and I look forward to going back soon. read more
Nice menu. Very small inside seating area. Good location and they have a parking lot. In a strip center with Pizza, Japanese BBq, and soon be an AYCE sushi spot. I ordered the large Milk Foam Strawberry Matchta. The match powder was just a bit grainy. But they have a lot of variety. No food or snacks. read more

I was hesitant to try their new Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme Milk Tea since I love cookies and cream flavored things but didn't know if this drink would be too sweet or pair well with boba. I decided to get a large with less ice and 50% sweetness (75% is the regular) and added pearl. The drink not only looked delicious but tasted it as well - perfect amount of sweetness and milk foam and actually did pair well with boba! I would have it again honestly. Service and ambiance inside was great too. Parking was easy in the lot outside, even though it is small. read more

Words can't fully express how good this tastes!! I always get the dirty brown sugar milk tea, nothing else. 100% sweetness and 2 servings of pearls. Best thing ever tbh ! read more
My go to order for any boba place is the brown sugar milk tea. However, Gong Cha's strawberry milk tea has the perfect mix of milk and strawberry with not one flavor overpowering the other. The strawberry chunks with boba is like the cherry on top when I get to chew and drink. I came late at night so there was no line and my drink was able to be made fast. The whole place was super clean and had outlets for customers. Gong cha and this drink will have to stay in my top 3! read more

gongcha is my number one go to boba shop, which may make my review sound biased HOWEVER i would say bc i love the brand so much, i have high expectations for each new location i try. i didnt know they opened this location in midtown, but im glad i came by it before dinner. the store is fairly small compared to other locations (but thats no surprise considering its in midtown). but despite the small space, this store provides numerous outlets for ppl to study or work while they grab some boba. the store was also very welcoming and clean and the staff were very nice and efficient. the drink itself, with no surprise to me, were a 10/10. i ordered a wintermelon oolong tea w boba 30% sugar, which is what i order at every gongcha, and this one is another location i can add to my list of approval the other two drinks in the photo: - left: wintermelon earl grey milk tea (tasted like cereal milk) - right: strawberry milk tea w boba both drinks were enjoyed and rated a 10/10!! read more
