Favorite bubble tea location! I always get the classic pearl milk tea with regular sugar/light ice. My son always tries something new & has yet to be disappointed!! All the lil young kids working are great too! Oh no & don't forget to ask for a loyalty/punch card ...after 9 stamps, you get a $5 credit! read more

Delicious! I ordered the black milk tea! Bubba was fresh and hot! I enjoyed that you can chose the level of sugar you can put in your drink! read more

Gong Cha - Nois! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

Gongcha is probably one of my top boba tea places! My fav drinks are mango green tea, earl grey milk foam, and the dirty brown sugar milk tea! If you get the DBSMT, be sure to lower ur sugar level bc it is super sweet. I usually get 30% sugar with it and it's a good lvl of sweetness for me. This is my go-to boba place and it's also a good place to study/do desk work. read more

Gong Cha - Dirty brown sugar milk tea with 30% sugar and light ice - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

This has become my new favorite boba place in the DFW area. They execute everything perfectly and have a rocking ambiance. My go to is the earl grey milk tea with pearls, 70% sweet and light ice. The tea flavor is strong, the pearls are springy and have a pleasant chew. Doesn't get much better than this in the boba world folks. read more

I put off trying gong cha for a while since they had that bogo deal with ridiculous lines. I now regret that decision haha. Seems like the boba game in Dallas is getting stepped up with every new cafe/chain that opens here. Gong cha is no exception to that. I feel like this location is better than their first location in Richardson due to the decor and even the drink quality. When I come here my go-to is the lemon AI-yu with 50% sweetness with lychee jellies. It's super refreshing and with the warmer weather coming around the corner it's perfect. The drink contains lemon rinds but there's a fine line between getting the delicious lemon rind and the bitter part underneath it. The Plano location does a much better job than Richardson of getting the bitter parts out. Of all the boba places coming to town, I definitely recommend this place on the list of things people should try! read more

Gong Cha - Lemon ai-yu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

Menu is pretty limited however their window has many different drinks that seemed neat, so I wish they displayed that on their menu inside. Pretty basic drinks, your typical boba place. Ordered 2 fruity teas, will say their choices on toppings are very limited compared to their competitors. They don't have lychee jelly however have coconut jelly. They also don't have coffee jelly which I feel is pretty standard. The drinks were made pretty quick and the flavors of the tea is refreshing. read more

First off, I love boba. Second, I've been looking forward to trying this place out for a while, and I have been hearing good things about this place from friends and co-workers. Third, I was disappointed leaving. The place itself is a little hard to get to. Gong Cha is located right next to Mango Mango right next to the Park Blvd bridge. If you're not familiar with the area, you're bound to miss the entrance to the building complex so make sure to stay alert and don't miss the entrance! The cafe interior is really pretty. Everything looks brand spanking new and I really like the layout of the place. There are tables for groups, seats for 2, and even board games and cards to play with. Looks like a nice place to study at or to go out with friends! The staff was nice and attentive and they even gave us drink suggestions when we ordered! Staff. Hit. Atmosphere. Hit. Drinks. Miss. We took the staff's suggestions and ordered some drinks from their favorite drinks list. We tried the Earl Grey Milk Tea and Mango Milk Slush. The size of the drinks were pretty big and we couldn't wait to dig into them! Alas, the first thing we tasted was straight up sugary syrup. The drinks were set at their "normal" 70% sweetness and it was WAY too sweet. I don't mind if drinks are a tad bit sweet, but the sweetness levels in our drinks were extreme. Not only was it too sweet, both my girlfriend and I had the after taste of artificial sweetener halfway through our drinks. I'm not exactly sure what type of sweetener they use, but the after taste was so bad that I couldn't finish my drink. And if you know me, that NEVER happens. I'll give Gong Cha another try in the future, but I have to say, not a great first impression so far. Drink on y'all! read more

The name sounded a bit interesting to me the first time I heard it said. Couldn't figure it out what it meant. Now I know after doing some serious research. But to make it short, "Gong Cha" just simply means "good tea" or "really good tea". I've been to the Gong Cha in Richardson, and it's my first time here in this new Plano location. The design of the shops is quite similar at first glance. They basically use the same style of tile flooring, wood panels at the order counter, and wall decorations. Whenever I visit a boba place for the first time, I always try their basic milk tea (black tea). If they do it right, other things will fall into place. So I did the same here. The milk tea had a nice milk flavor, but the tea taste was quite light. I have to say the boba was soft, chewy, and sweet, but not too sweet. Very nicely done. This shop looks much more spacious than the Richardson location. I especially like the open area where you place you order. I think they have prepared to handle long lines of people. It's neat and clean. (Well, it's new. So it'll be like this for a while, I think.) The wall design is quite simple. Among other things, there is a big map to show the footprint of Gong Cha in many parts of the world. There are also some messages of wisdom on the wall. The biggest one is: "Happiness is a cup of cha & a good book." I don't disagree with it. Although I say the tea flavor of their regular milk tea is light, if you try other flavors like oolong (Taiwanese) or Earl Gray (British), the tea flavor is more distinct. The serving people are very friendly and courteous. You couldn't ask for more. I haven't tried their unique milk foam tea yet. I'll probably come back pretty soon to try it and other things as well. read more

This place has exceeded my expectations for boba. I have never been to a boba place in this area that has tasted soo good. On the three occasions that I have been, Gong Cha's service and drinks have been very consistent. I always opt for the Oolong milk foam with boba. 70% sweetness, and regular ice. I get it in medium, however, i'm always left wanting more :( I've gotten a large before, but for some reason, it is not as good. My friend also got a brown sugar milk tea with pudding and it tasted like a cookie in a cup! So so good. And they don't skimp out on the pudding either. The drinks are a moderate price, ~$4.60/a cup. The service here is always on top of their game (they even wear mouth guards so they don't accidentally spit in our drinks when they speak to us) and i'm never left unsatisfied. My boyfriend ordered the most complicated drink and I was not surprised they got it wrong because there were so many modifications, but they gladly fixed it and even let us keep the drink they messed up! Swwweeeet! Overall, there's nothing else I could say. This place is amazing and I gladly drive up here at least once every 10 days now.... T_T GONG CHA COME TO GP/ARLINGTON!!!! read more

Gong Cha - Oolong milk foam! YUMMMMM - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

Finally Gong Cha opens in Dallas! They have the best tea selection in my opinion and excellent boba. Their drinks are customizable, so if you don't like yours too sweet or want less ice they can do that for you. I am in love with their wintermelon tea. It's naturally sweet, so they don't add any extra syrups. I tried their lemon ai-yu with white pearls per the server's recommendation (I guess I looked tired, she said it would wake me up) and it was good! The white pearls have a lighter flavor than regular pearls. As of Spring 2017, the area is super loud, but I can imagine once all the construction dies down, this would be an excellent place to work remotely, especially in the evening. It is comfortable and inviting with nice natural lighting during the daytime. Overall, highly recommend trying Gong Cha if you haven't! read more

Great boba place! Favorite drink is the dirty brown sugar milk tea! The milk foam or the milk itself is amazing. I wanted to ask them what brand of milk they are using. 2 stars less because of the lady cashier. She is very impatient not just with me but with all customers. I think she expects you to order the same drink everytime you go there? Be more pleasant! read more

This is probably my favorite boba place. I love going here when I'm back in town from college! Me and my brother have probably been 100 times in the past semester. I always get the wintermelon tea with half bubbles because they always put too much tapioca. The wintermelon tea is always amazing, and I can't find a better wintermelon milk tea anywhere else. We got the red bean matcha milk tea and the QQtea as well. Those were just alright in my opinion, partially due to my dislike of red bean. But my bf who likes red bean likes it! They have a huge selection of games and is cute for hanging out or catching up with friends. Drinks are normal price and I will definitely be back!! read more

Ordered a large mango green tea with pearls. There was a short line and the wait wasn't too long. Really like the concept of customizing your drink. The drink was sweet but not too sweet. There was a mango flavor with a green tea after taste. Really enjoyed my drink, staff was friendly, the environment was modern and cozy with plenty of seating. I'd like to come back to try the other drinks. read more

Best bubble tea in Dallas hands down. Whenever I just need a cup of GOOD OL RELIABLE milk tea, i come straight to Gong Cha cause I know exactly what I will receive: Milk Tea brewed to Perfection with the perfect amount of ice, sugar and pearls. Their milk teas have never failed me and I've tried almost all of them. Their caramel milk tea (amazing), hazelnut, jasmine, thai tea, dirty brown sugar series (better than Tiger Sugar HANDS DOWN), their fruit milk teas (an acquired taste but so good - esp the watermelon milk tea series they had) and their sparkling teas also are pretty good. Everything is good at Gong Cha, and they'll always be my number one spot for boba. read more

Haven't been to a better Bubble tea location than this one in the Richardson/Plano area. Great study environment, and bubble tea actually tastes better than three other boba tea shops in the area. read more

To start off: this may sound weird but I have to put this disclaimer. I visited here a while back with my girlfriends who used to like coming here because of a cute, nice guy who worked there named Sanders (spelling? not even sure if that's his name LOL). I don't mean to sound stalker-ish but apparently he doesn't work there anymore because they haven't seen him in a while. But anyway, back to the real deal- I've only ordered here twice but I love their dirty brown sugar milk tea. I'm not ready to say it's my favorite boba place in DFW but the ambience here is definitely better than most other boba places around. read more

Great place for authentic Taiwanese drinks like dirty brown sugar milk tea that you can customize the sugar amount. Clean and very spacious. There is a sofa at the very back to relax and rows of table for studying...famous among students. Another- great to have selfie because of the nice accent wall. read more

MY FAVORITE BOBA EVER. I'm obsessed with gong cha and make it my mission to come here when I'm craving boba. The Thai tea is sooooo good and probably my favorite drink from here. The fruit teas are delicious and so is the dirty brown sugar tea. It can get busy here from time to time with people studying and working but if you come at the right time it's so peaceful and quiet with a lot of space. I love this location and I'm so happy it's so close to me. Also don't forget to get a punch card! Super convenient if you come a lot!! read more

Gong Cha - Thai tea & milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

Gong Cha is the milk tea place that you never knew you wanted and didn't realize you needed. They're all over the place in Korea, and I basically can't help going into nearly every one I happen to pass. My recommendation is the Earl Grey Milk Tea with boba, half sweetness. If you get one of the slashed, they're good with aloe, and if you get a regular tea, try it out with the foam. It's slightly salty and creamy. As for the taste, the product here is pretty much on point with what I've had in the past at other Gong Chas; better than the Japan one actually. The service is good here, and the interior is trendy and clean. No issues finding parking unlike most Asian strip malls. My only gripe is their menu is missing some of the drinks I like, such as the peach oolong milk tea and white grape smoothie. Still, though, this place is just great. read more

Gong Cha - left: brown sugar milk tea, add boba right: strawberry matcha late, add boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is very cute and clean with great drink options! I didn't know this but it's probably the first boba place I know with calories information on the menu! It's great for those who are watching their diet and sugar intakes ;) Employee was very friendly and they have free WiFi there. I got the wintermelon latte with egg pudding and it was really delicious! Even my friends tried it and they want to order that next time haha. The only thing is that you can't adjust the sugar level in this one since the wintermelon tea was already premade:( nevertheless, it's a great drink to try out. There are plenty of parking here when I came around 1om during the day. This is a great place for people to meet up for some drinks and chat! read more

We have been going here for some time. First, they are amazing. My favorite is the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea. They are sometimes a bit slow, but worth the wait. Recently we did have two teas with bobas that had an off texture. Nothing that will make you sick, just not up to their normal standard. I will try them again, but consistency is extremely important to me, as this is normally a quick stop to pick up for others. We are depending on it being good, as we may not drink it there. If they continue to be inconsistent, I will have to find a new tea place or perhaps a different gong cha location. read more

Best bubble tea I have gotten. Got their oolong milk with the milk foam. You can customize so I got mine at 30%sugar and it was still sweet and I got less ice. Perfection! The quality of the boba is excellent! read more

I gave this place 4/5 stars mainly because of the cute and clean interior! As well as the overall ambience. It was very clean, quiet, well decorated, and overall a very nice place. I saw people studying and I definitely was able to get some cute photo-ops with the decor. As for the tea itself, I ordered basic Milk Tea with boba. I asked for 50% sweetness and for them to add extra tea. Unfortunately I don't think they listened because it was WAY TOO SWEET. I couldn't even drink half of it. The boba was yummy though. I would like to return but I think I'll stray from any of the milk teas. read more

Gong Cha - Milk Tea w/ Boba in front of some of the cute decor - Bubble Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

I give this 4/5 stars because the location is spacious, open, and CLEAN. First of all, Gong Cha i think is the best in terms of branding. The service in this location is on point and super nice. Their rewards program is a little difficult compared to other places. They don't do stamp cards or use a program like 5 star rewards that uses the touch pad to type in your phone number. Not that the phone number system they have is bad, it's just a little annoying personally or a little bit of trouble just because relaying a phone number verbally always has an error somewhere. Milk tea was good but a little too milky, and maybe tasted a little like it was from a powder mix. Their regular sugar level is on point and didn't need any adjusting for me, compared to the Plano Sharetea location which is usually too sweet. Also they have the cutest mini version of connect 4 that comes with little tube slots for the pieces to go in. read more

Cute location, very aesthetic with its LED signs as well as lounge areas. The boba was also very good, unfortunately they were out of black pearls and other toppings when I went. And my simple order took nearly 20 minutes to make even though nobody else was waiting in the store. Definitely a great place, I simply had a mediocre experience that I'm sure is explainable. read more

I come here a lot and I didn't like their matcha milk tea. It had a fishy/sea aftertaste. I usually get their earl grey milk tea which is actually very good and would rate that 5/5! read more

Great teas and customer service. I guess some people make ignorant comments when they know nothing about the culture of tea and the art of tea making. I am a regular customer and the place is always clean, and their employees are prompt and courteous. Keep up the good work guys! read more

I ordered a matcha slush at the counter. I was mistakenly given a different drink. Although the server did read my order back to me, it was very hard to hear in there and both of us ended up mishearing each other. They quickly made me a new corrected drink despite the fact that it was my fault for not correcting the girl at the counter. It was delicious!!! read more

By far the best Earl Grey Bubble Tea around. No gimmicky popping boba or etc. just great tea. Service is cordial fast and excellent

Gong Cha is a classic boba shop that delivers the goods. It sounds like an onomatopoeia but I am not sure if it is. Try some hot taro during a cold evening. This location is clean inside and service was fine. I'm bound to be back here since my wife lives in Garland! read more

This is my favorite place to get boba. I will seriously drive 30 minutes to get 1 drink for myself. I'm obsessed with their pearl tea. It's the right amount of sweetness and is delicious! The boba is well made so that is always a big plus. There are so many other places in the area but they just don't compete with Gong Cha. Look no further and you can thank me later! :) read more

Good boba shop! I tried the mango green tea with pearls. I ordered 30% sweet and that was perfect for me. The tea has real mango blended into the syrup which gives it a great flavor. It was around $6 for the drink which I would say is pretty typical pricing. read more

I believe Gong Cha is more well-known outside of the area I reside, but it's pretty good at this location. I ordered a regular Milk Tea without Boba, and it met my expectations. There wasn't any tangible powder I could taste, and it was a standard, good milk tea. The only downside I thought was that they originally made my order wrong but immediately fixed it without any issue. Service here was nice and efficient. They understand how to make the customer happy, thus making it a respectable venue. read more

Finally open in Plano we been waiting forever. Richardson just too inconvenience for us to go. Plano store easy right off 75 next to mango mango dessert. The boba was soft and level of 50% ice and 70% sweetness just perfect for us. Interior is modern and roomie. Must try gong cha 10 drinks, and their milk foams! read more

Quick daddy/daughter stop for Boba. If you don't know this by now, Boba is what makes life worth living according to some (including my daughter). This is the best Boba in Plano according to multiple sources about the age of 13. Actually it may be the best Boba in the whole metroplex, but they are still searching. Yes it is a quest for the perfect Boba. I am just happy to be included this time, because usually it's the mothers and daughters getting Boba. What is "Boba" you might ask? Well come to Gong Cha and find out what the best tastes like. read more
