This is the one in Richardson location. Place is pretty cute. I would like to hang out with friends or family here on my day off. UNFORTUNATELY, service is bad. Went there to get drinks for my Team members. I was the only customer when I walk in. I said & greet the lady behind her laptop Hi. She basically ignore me for 2 to 3 minutes. So I just stood there & wait. Then she took my order. After she was done making my drink, again I was the one who said Thank You. I felt like I was not even welcome as a customer. And definitely with horrible customer service, I will never buy any drinks from this location EVER again! I gave 3 stars for the drink, 0 for the service. read more

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! read more

Gong Cha - two people holding drinks in front of a wall of plants - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've been here several times. I'm starting to not like this location because they never fill the drink to the top, like more then an inch empty then they act inconvenienced I ask politely to please top it off. Today they made my drink wrong which isn't the end of the world. So I went back all I took was one sip and asked them to please fix it. Again they act like it's such an inconvenience or as if it's coming out of their pocket. For me service is over product. The amount of boba places in the area I can find a place with a drink I like even though the drinks here are good that actually has good service. Especially if they keep raising their prices they need to fix their attitude. read more

I'm picky when it comes to boba and this is one of the very few places i visit on the regular. The atmosphere is nice and the customer service is great! They recently added bubble waffles to the menu as well. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Gong Cha - Lychee oolong tea with white pearls AKA lychee flavored sewage - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richardson, Texas

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. read more

Gong Cha - Milk foam milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richardson, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

I love gong cha because they offer green tea with milk foam. That is my go to drink! sometimes I get peach flavour with less ice and 30% sweet. I don't like my tea too sweet. I like that this location offers waffles and a mason jar you can bring back. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Man I'm surprised this place has less than 5 stars! I had such a great experience here! There was almost no one there when we went, no wait! So I'm usually not a huge strawberry person, but I decided to try their strawberry matcha drink! HUGE SUCCESS! Be aware that it does not look like the picture as displayed, the strawberry is almost a jam like consistency and kinda stuck to the cup, you have to shake it pretty good and use your straw to scrape some of the strawberry part out.. but that FIRST TASTE though.. it's the perfect match with a hint of strawberry! I was in heavennn!! Would definitely get it again! You won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best boba tea I've had to date in DFW! There are so many different coffees and teas that are done so well. My friends and I tried the Oolong Milk Tea, Earl Grey Latte Milk Tea (my favorite), Thai Milk Tea, and Coffee Milk Tea. You can adjust the amount of sweetness and ice which allows everyone to have a custom drink. If you don't like really sweet drinks, I recommend 50% for the milk teas. Can't speak for the regular teas since I didn't try them, but the staff will be able to give you the perfect recommendation. In addition, you can add toppings such as tapioca pearls, pudding, and jellies. The shop has a decent amount of seating but definitely can get crowded. There are cute quotes on the wall and a Gong Cha wall perfect for your Instagram (or Yelp) pictures. Prices are typical for milk tea at about $3-5, depending on the size and amount of toppings you want. This is a great place to introduce people to boba milk tea! read more

I only like this place because their strawberry milk tea is bomb. I used to always get the sweeter drink options like the Oreo milk tea or brown sugar milk tea. I think Gong Cha was the few very first boba shops who gave you the ability to control sweetness level and ice level - love this! The boba here is more of a tougher chew rather than squishy goodness, but that's preference. There's maybe like 2 nice, smiley, friendly workers. The other 4 honestly drain the life out of me. I order on the phone now because of them. read more

Love these dessert places after a nice dinner. Gong cha is one the ultimate place everyone should try. I seen it every I traveled to . Always have young staffs and young crowds hanging inside. Good place to sit and enjoy your bubble tea drink . I ordered the matcha green tea with red bean, bubbles, herbal grass jelly with less ice and least sugar. It was good that I finished it in 5 minutes. Tempting to get another one but I'll save til next time. Can't go wrong with a nice drink here. read more

I love Gongcha! This bubble tea shop can be a big of a drive but it's always worth to stop by and grab a drink. They have a wonderful selection of both Sweet Milk teas and Fruit punch Teas. A variety of toppings so it's always fun to explore and create a new drink. I am super obsessed with their Grapefruit Green Tea it may sound a bit out there for those who are not used to the idea of a bitter citrus in a tea but it's definitely delicious if you are willing to try it. Got the whole family obsessed with Gongcha even my mother who's Mexican. read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richardson, Texas

There's been a lot of buzz about Gong Cha so I decided to make the long trek all the way over to this side of Richardson to give it a try. While certainly over-hyped, the drinks are actually pretty solid! We ordered two drinks, both with light ice and 50% sweetness (my default for any boba place) - Lemon Wintermelon w/Basil Seeds: LOVED this! Super refreshing without being too sweet. I enjoyed having the basil seeds to chew on and the little lemon bits floating around added a nice bit of sourness to the drink. I would definitely get this again in the future. - Early Gray Milk Tea w/3 J's (pearl, pudding, herbal jelly): this honestly looked better than it tasted. While the milk tea was good, it just tasted like regular old milk tea - not really any Earl Gray flavor. The pudding and jelly were good, but boba was very average. There wasn't much of a line when we swung by on a Saturday afternoon but the shop itself was packed. Luckily we got our drinks rather quickly because there's not really anywhere to stand and wait for your drinks, except awkwardly in the middle of the store. Oh, and the acoustics in there are terrible - it was SO LOUD. Definitely a "to go" place for me. I'm looking forward to Gong Cha opening more locations because it's great having another good boba option in the DFW suburbs. I'll be back to get that Lemon Wintermelon drink again and try out some of the foam teas! read more

Every time I've been here, I ordered the same drink and it never tasted like coffee milk tea... :( was not litty titty... I was initially excited about this place. However after being here twice, I can honestly tell you the hype was for nothing. Does not live up to the real Gong Cha I've had in Taiwan. Will I come here again? Probably for literally anything else.. but not in the near future. read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Been here twice since their grand opening. I've never even heard of Gong Cha until my friends shared their experience in their other locations overseas. I've only tried 5 of their drinks and my favorite is the lemon wintermelon with basil seeds and herbal jelly. It's a light refreshing drink that will definitely quench your thirst. I wasn't big on the foam drink but that's just me. I did try the milk foam green tea. That wasn't bad either. It had a great green tea flavor which I really like. I wasn't a big fan of the Pearl milk tea or the Earl Grey milk tea with 3js. Nothing spectacular for me. The Matcha milk tea with red beans was my least favorite. It tasted very powdery, at least for my order. I wasn't able to finish that drink because it was that unpleasant. Maybe it will be better for others so I would say check it out on your own dime. I really do hope they have a better process behind the counter. I came back on a slow day and it took them over 20 minutes to complete my order. It was to the point where I thought they had forgotten it until I realized there was one main guy in the back multitasking many things and one lady in the middle completing the orders. I may not understand their process but from the front, you can definitely see the lack of staff/process flow since everyone was unhappy with the wait. Hope they improve soon! I give them probs for introducing a new boba place in the DFW area. read more

So I learned that Gong Cha originated from Taiwan, and the picture on their logo...boom. Was Taiwan, lol. How about that? There are so many boba places popping up in Dallas and so much competition, and honestly Gong Cha is somewhere probably in the middle. Their winter melon tea (recommended by a friend) was pretty good at 50% sweet and little ice. I really have no complaints about this place except for the tiny tiny area to sit in...it reminds me of the old Boba Latte- you're not going to have a chance to hang out with your friends because some huge group is already sitting there. It won't be quiet, because they'll have a TV with Taiwanese people dancing to Bruno Mars. The line gets pretty long at certain hours, but the drinks do come out fairly quickly. I would recommend, but it's not my "go-to" place for boba... overall, not bad. It's just meh. read more

My first time at Gong Cha was in NYC where I got a jasmine tea with foam and no sugar. Not the best choice but I'm glad my choices this time made up for my first time. I ordered the passion fruit green tea which comes with boba and coconut jelly and a passion fruit yogurt slush with 50% sugar. Both drinks were good! The green tea was not too sweet and tasted very similar to KFT. I liked the yogurt slush the best! Creamy but not too heavy like a regular smoothie. You can definitely taste the yogurt. Can't say it would be my first choice but I wouldn't mind coming back when I'm in the area. read more
