    We stopped by to hide out from the rain. We ordered 5 drinks and had to wait awhile, but we were in no rush so that was fine. There are a lot of interesting drinks to choose from. Solid place for boba!

    Stopped by on a weekend during the mid-afternoon and there was no wait. Ordered the brown sugar milk tea and it was good. However, boba was not as chewy as preferred -- a little too squishy. However, milk and tea was fine. I'll probably go back just to try some of their more interesting seasonal flavors. As for price, pretty similar to other places and about $5 after boba and depending on your drink size. You can customize the amount of ice and sugar. I usually go for half sugar or less.

    I ordered a black tea milk tea with boba & my wife got a brown sugar milk tea I really liked mine & she really liked hers The boba was soft & chewy & the taste was great I don't like how Thai tea is extremely expensive here.. $6 or so.. somewhat odd but the price of milk tea is $3 something

    They're a bit pricier than other places. I spend about $6 for a drink here. I love the white pearl. It still holds its texture and crunch the next day or on a long trip. The ordering process it's similar to other places. Get to pick the level of sugar. How much ice you want. What type of toppings you want. They have a foam cap that taste salty. So it's like a sweet/salty drink dessert. Pretty good but I'm OK without it. I do like their Boba a lot. It Has been pretty consistent, chewy and slightly sweet. My fav thing here is that they have earl grey tea as a choice for milk tea. I get the earl grey with 3 jellies. The other jellies are ok. I enjoy regular boba and white pearl though. It was pretty busy in here. The music was blasting and not good taste. I felt like I was at a techno club or something. But I'll still stop here once in a while to enjoy their milk tea.

    There's been a crazy influx of chain bubble tea/boba places in the DFW area over the last few months what with Kung Fu Tea taking over and now there's Gong Cha and Sharetea. To be frank, Gong Cha is terrible. With so many other great bubble tea/boba options within a 5 mile radius, I am not sure how long Gong Cha is going to be around. The only thing that really sets them apart from the other places are the "white pearls" which are SO not worth the 75 cents! You can see for yourself that all the recent 5-star reviews for Gong Cha (sort reviews by "newest first") are written by users who don't normally write reviews and are friends with the owners who are so desperately trying to get their yelp score up. My lychee oolong tea with white pearls was a whopping $5.25. The tea tasted funky - like lychee flavored sewage. The white pearls are so not the business - not a fan of the texture. Not only are the drinks here are no bueno - the prices are ridiculously high. Expensive yet subpar bubble tea? Also $5.25 for a slush (without any boba or jelly added) are you kidding me? My drink would have been well over $6 (after tax) if I ordered a slush with boba. Yeah...I ain't ever coming back.

    This is my favorite place to come to for "foam" topped drinks. Their foam is really fluffy and resembles a thick whipped cream. Their teas are fragrant however, their drinks can come out very sweet. I recommend ordering 70% sweetness. Service is alright, but I don't like how the only place to wait for your drink is awkwardly in the middle of the shop... Recommended drinks: Any of the milk teas with the foam top. Looking forward to their Carrollton location so I don't have to make such a far drive anymore.

    I was super excited to hear that Gong Cha was opening a location in the DFW area, so of course I had to come try it during grand opening weekend. It helped that there was a BOGO deal going on; buy one milk foam tea and get a pearl milk tea free. I'd been wanting to try something that wasn't my usual (lemon wintermelon with basil seeds), and wanted to see how the wintermelon tea at Gong Cha compared to other wintermelon teas in the metroplex, so I ended up getting that with the milk foam so I could take advantage of the BOGO offer :) The line was out the door and winding down the sidewalk when we got there, but we persevered for the tea! It took us about 40 minutes to get through the line, but once we ordered our drinks came out pretty fast. It's hard to go wrong with wintermelon tea, and Gong Cha's lived up to my expectations. The milk foam cap was also a very interesting experience; I don't know that I'd necessarily pay for it again, but I enjoyed the creamy flavor a lot. Next time I come back (and I'll definitely come back now that I know I don't have to fly all the way to New York City to get my Gong Cha fix) I'll probably still go with my usual drink. The music was super loud when we finally got through the door in line, and the place isn't terribly large; the tables and chairs set up looked nice though. I think once the fervor of the grand opening dies down and the lines become more manageable it would be a nice place to come hang out and get some boba together. Also, be aware that there is a $6 credit card minimum, so either bring cash or come with friends and have them pay you back later.

    Super excited for Gong Cha to be coming to Richardson! There seems to be a lack of international/national bubble tea chains in the Dallas area but that's quickly changing. The drinks here are decent - they have a nice strong tea flavor, and as usual a range of customization options for ice and sugar levels. One thing that I was looking forward to having was the aiyu jelly. I haven't found a bubble tea place in Dallas that offers jellies besides grass jelly and fruit-flavored jellies. On opening weekend the lines were certainly long, but on the day that I went it still moved pretty quickly. Fast forward a week or so and the lines are still to the door but they're much quicker and more efficient. So far I've tried the lemon wintermelon with basil seeds and the lemon aiyu drinks. Both are pretty good, but nothing amazing. Definitely refreshing and perfect for a hot day. I'd never had the white pearls before, but imo the black pearls are better, probably because I'm more used to them. The prices are average for bubble tea, but be warned - they have a $6 credit card minimum. Otherwise, a decent place to stop by and grab some drinks.

    large green and black milk teas 1/2 sweet, plenty of add-ins!!!
    Amy T.

    One of the better places! I'm not a regular boba drinker, maybe once a season so don't hold it against me if Gong Cha isn't your cup of (milk)tea. Pudding tastes fresher than most others and they offer basil seeds! We ordered both the black and green milk tea half sweet with add-ins. The tea is super aromatic, which I love! My 7 year old niece commented that the pearls were lightly sweet and the perfect texture. I don't do pearls, so just take it from her.

    This is my favorite Gong Cha location. The drinks here are the most consistent, and I've never gotten a bad drink here, and I go here at least 3 times a week. The service here is phenomenal. I've been here on super busy days, and I'd still get my drink 5minutes after ordering. My go to drinks are: Oolong Tea with Milk Cap and Lychee Oolong Tea with Basil. My only complaint is that the store's a little small, so during peak hours it can be a little cramped, but overall, the drinks are great!

    Yet another bubble tea shop! It's beautifully decorated with a ton of plush chairs and couches…read moreinside. They also have a neon lights shrubbery wall if you want that aesthetic photo for Instagram. I ordered their Vietnamese iced coffee with 25% sugar, and yeah it was really strong but it was exactly what I needed. I would definitely come back because they have so many other options, but my drink was really good.

    I'm really appreciating the growth of bubble tea shops in the Dallas area. Teazentea is a Taiwanese…read moreinspired shop originally from California established back in 2016. Their passion caused them to grow and eventually establish a location in Garland, TX. Walking in and seeing the aesthetic of the place immediately felt inviting. They have the option to place your order on a kiosk if you don't feel like chatting with the workers. We ordered the Tiger creme brûlée tea without boba and Thai Milk Tea with boba, both with regular sugar and light ice. The initial sip of both drinks were both met with a very sweet taste. The Tiger creme brûlée included a gelatinous creme brûlée jelly. I wasn't a fan of the gelatinous consistency, especially since the tea was too sweet for my palate. I would recommend ordering the drink with half sugar because it think it would bring about better balance for all the elements of the drink. The vibes are great! Definitely a great location to bring a friend and hang out for an hour or two. Although the drink preparation took longer than most bubble tea locations, the quality is still very high.
