I had Gong Cha in Japan and it hit every time! I don't know what happened this time but it really was not the best. I might give it another chance but it was not the good this time.

Honey Lemon Tea. 2 stars. IG: @amei.eats

(Overall: 62% | D) - I was not feeling well so I ordered a hot honey lemon tea. Unfortunately, the drink was lukewarm at beat and I was really disappointed by the quality for a drink that costs $7. The flavors of the honey and lemon are there though. IG: @amei.eats

Keepin it real out here at QCM, one of the best performing malls in America. This isn't our favorite bubble tea spot but the location just works out, and it's become our mall ritual, to grab a drink and some potato corner fries. Gong cha was probably one of the leading boba spots for a while until new ones came along in the recent years, one OG one even popped up in the mall just 30 feet away. But yea, still some good experience every time visiting, will go back Oh yea don't get that strawberry oreo stuff drink

Lychee slush

If I'm ever craving boba on the way home I have to stop at Fulton center and grab a drink at gong cha! The workers are nice and the drinks come out quick. There's no seating or tables or anything just a stand I wish there was a menu displayed on the wall or something so we can look at the menu while we wait in line instead of having a menu just at the register where we have to rush and decide. The drinks are good but could be inconsistent. I've gotten the lychee slush and handful of times and always 70% but the drinks are sweeter some days than others. The lychee slush is good but 70% is already very sweet Lychee oolong - don't get light ice they only put 2 ice cubes and it's not cold. Got 70% sweetness and not sweet at all Strawberry tea- not sweet at all (have to mix it before you drink it all the syrup is on the bottom)

I've had Gong Cha from 6 different cities and 3 countries. NY, SF, LA, Austin, Hong Kong, Seoul. They never disappoint. There's a reason why Gong Cha grew so fast. The tea they produce is one of the best in the business and their boba is one of the softest you'll find. Some places can make better boba, but it is pretty hard to find a place that will be consistently extraordinary. Be sure to get the grass jelly and boba in your milk tea, it's been my go to every time.

Boba life is real. This is supposed to be a (milk cap) dirty Brown sugar milk tea.

I was surprised to see a guncha in this location, so of course I had to have it. The cashier was polite and professional, entering my order quickly and efficiently. I ordered a large, but when I went to pick it up it was a medium, the barista behind the counter poured it into a cup, added more milk and boba, no additional tea. I was a little peeved because it did not have the signature flavor of the dirty Brown sugar milk tea. Way too milky and sweet.

Love going here to pick up bubble tea on my way to things. Such a fast high quality spot. Love the original milk teas but the special drinks are great too. Oolong milk tea with half sugar and light ice is so good.

Bubble bubble! Bubble tea! Quick on the go bubble tea inside Fulton Center! Location: it is located inside Fulton station and will satisfy your bubble tea craving! Service: I just ordered and go, no interaction. Food: I almost taste all the flavors but my favorites are: TARO: as always this is good! Taro with bubbles is great! THAI ICED TEA: this one is good too! Thai experience! EARL GREY with 3 J's: this is one of my fave because it has 3 jellies on it! DIRTY BROWN SUGAR: one of the newest flavors! It is good because not your usual sugar! STRAWBERRY TARO: good too, make sure only 30% sugar because it might be sweet. Price rating: 4 out of 10. It is so cheap! Well all recommended! But personally love the taro and earl grey with 3Js.

I came across this place after riding on the subway. I decided to give it a chance and I ordered the lychee oolong with boba. I would just say it's decent. I also believe that the staff could be nicer. A gentleman in front of me was ordering and she had a bad attitude the entire time towards him. She also had a cold attitude towards me. I would've given the place a 4 star if the staff were friendlier.

Stumbled upon this location and of course we had to stop by! We love going to Gong Cha! I have never had a drink that I didn't like from Gong Cha. Normally there is a long at every location when we go, so we took advance of the short line and grabbed a drink. It was the perfect way to explore NY with Gong Cha along for the ride!

No real interaction with the staff but they are efficient. Place is clean with some space for seating. Funny conversation to eavesdrop on but a couple was on a date and the girl was talking about her psychedelic experience doing mushrooms and an alien god judging her about her network of friends...I normally don't eavesdrop but couldn't help it in such a small sitting area

I returned to another Gong Cha bubble tea chain which this is located at 38th Street between 5th…read moreand 6th Avenues, Midtown West, Manhattan, NYC. This location is accessible via A train at 42nd Street Port Authority. Upon arriving there was a woman in front of me arguing with the staff persistently haggling the price to be lowered, but to no avail. Woman, no means no! There are other bubble tea businesses within the locale that may appease your needs, but not this particular Gong Cha whom apologized for the inconvenience of the inability to lower the price on the product ordered. As I waited patiently, I took photos of this business' environment. The staff stated the cash register is not working and currently unable to accept either credit or debit cards, but cash only payments. Ergo, I was unable to obtain a sales receipt nor a drink label printed. I wonder if the staff reboot the register or check their internet connection to be offline as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] Customer service is average. Well... if the staff can lower the price for one customer why not lower it for ALL customers? Surely, why not make my drink order as inclusion for lowering the price, please? Hell no, of course not! The conclusion was ironclad. In the real world, this cannot happen. As I stood on line waiting for this woman to let go and walk away from her argument I had shrunk to my own gnawing thoughts. I took photos of the atmospheric environment. There is a cute signage: "Bubble tea where refreshment meets creativity." The pink metal water bottle is very adorably cute which is something that I would certainly purchase. Peach green tea, medium $7.25 My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. At 30% sugar level request, it was slightly higher in sugar content. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg would shake his head at me in disbelief with disapproval and disappointment for consuming this excessively sugary drink. The peach green tea was not the cause of the sweetness but a man-made sugar embed measurement error. Nevertheless, this Gong Cha satisfied my bubble tea fix as it is now my addiction - in addition to my other addiction, writing. [1] O/O/O = Out Of Order

i don't normally leave bad reviews, but this location was extremely disappointing…read more i love and frequent pinkberry often back home in socal, so i was excited to get a taste of some good froyo in nyc. when we walked into the store, i noticed how hot and stuffy it was in there. there was a line of about 4-5 people in front of us when we first entered, but it just kept growing as time passed til it was literally packed to the door. the table i waited at was also sticky and had trash and toppings dried on it. my boyfriend ordered for us - we got a small cup of froyo and an order of dragon berry tea. he waited around 15 minutes only to notice the cashier hadn't given the other workers his order receipt, so the people behind him in line were receiving their orders first. when he ordered the tea, one of the workers had told him that he couldn't order it because they were out of some ingredients, but another worker corrected her and told her not to tell customers that they're out, just cuz she doesn't know how to make it. seems like there is an issue with improperly trained staff. anyways, after waiting around 30 minutes for them to give us our order, we were disappointed by the amount of froyo we got. it was also melted by the time we got it. the tea was flavorless - just tasted like sour water. overall, was underwhelming and disappointing.

I didn't realize golden bubble literally just meant golden boba balls. I thought it would be some sort of special milk tea flavor LOL. But it wasn't so it was just your typical milk tea (which was pretty good) with LOTS (too much) of boba (not good). The boba to tea ratio could definitely be a lot better, half the drink was boba which is way too much. I also wish the boba was a little less chewy. They recommended 50% sugar so I got 25% and it was still too sweet for me. The upside is that it did satisfy the boba craving for the moment. And the service was quick!

The man at the cashier was very nice, but he was training, so it took us about 10 min to order our drinks. He asked us the same questions multiple times.

I liked that they have multiple customization options as other places (less sugar, less ice, less boba). It was a standard bubble tea place.

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.
