I ordered a taro smoothie, taste like a regular taro milk tea. The drink is all ice and not blended well. read more

Gong Cha - Taro smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I was there today with my two daughters Both my daughters tried ordering I have to say I think the young gentlemen was knew as he did not know how to use most of the equipment in their which was not the problem because he was very much trying The problem was the girl coworker I am assuming she worked there but was too busy playing with her phone and not helping him at all. Needless to say the drinks were horrible but what was more horrible was the lack of help she was offering the young man The worst part was when he was struggling she laughed and walked away read more

This was the worst milk tea I have ever had! It was clear that the person preparing it didn't know how to make it properly, as he seemed confused throughout the process. He was rushing since he had to handle both the cashier and the drink-making by himself. read more

Gong Cha - Oolong Milk Tea with cream brulee milk foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I love their flavors a lore more than other bubble tea chains. Their service is always fast and really friendly :)

Gongcha inside Staten Island Mall. The drinks can be a hit or miss but the 3J Milk Tea is my favorite. Recommend getting light sugar if you dont like your drinks super sweet. The place is usually busy and takes a while for them to prepare my drink. read more

I'm so glad there's finally a boba spot in Staten Island Mall! And better yet, it's Gong Cha! I love that they have a variety of teas. My favorite are the dirty brown sugar milk tea and little star passionfruit green tea. The location is conveniently in the center court of the mall on the lower level right across Zara. The service is fast and on point. Highly recommend! read more

Wow was this spot popular! This place is the most popular spot in the whole mall. Great bubble tea for amazing pricing for today's dollar. Recommend the white pearl green milk tea! The flavor is so aromatic and I just couldn't get enough. Yes I got another one to go read more

Just another bubble tea spot to me. Nothing spectacular but it's good. The whole bubble tea craze was back in early 2000s but I guess it's back again. This place always has a long wait line. read more

Last Sunday I went shopping at staten island mall, after a while I started getting thirsty and tired, I was so surprised to find a new gong cha store open there. I'm Taiwanese and I LOVE their dirty brown sugar milk! The boba tastes just perfect, chewy but not too hard, the best part is that you can adjust the sweetness. it also had a delicious brown sugar taste which is the sweetness from. Their staffs were also very friendly. I enjoyed my experience and will recommend this gong cha. read more

The best bubble tea in Staten Island - hands down!! Super consistent and lots of drink options.

Whoa, so I went out on Staten Island for a day and I didn't realize they had a hidden gem of gong cha tea out here. This location was comparable to the ones out in Manhattan and visiting from Cali where we measure boba per capita - this did not disappoint. You can even adjust the sweetness to your liking. I'm pretty picky about bubble tea but the brown sugar milk tea here was bomb. Would come back for a drink next time I'm in town. read more

I've been to other Gong Chas in NJ and they've always been great so it was really a shock to see how poorly run this one is. I ordered two drinks today and from the time of my receipt, it took the 2 girls making the drinks 15 minutes to make our order. The girl at the cashier was the only one actually working. There was only one couple ahead of us and we watched the girls goof off on their phone, chat with two friends that came by while the line for people waiting for their drinks grew and grew. One of them even made a phone call while they giggled and ignored the drink cups. They also had no idea which drink was for which order because they didn't care to look at the receipt numbers when they made them, a guy that ordered after us got his drink first. When the girl finally picked up the cup for our drink order she distracted herself TWICE to pick up her phone and text, completely ignorant to how many people were waiting. What garbage service, I'll never come back. read more

It was a fateful day in the mall when I saw a dashing gentleman in the Gong Cha booth. He was offering me the cool drink that I didn't know I needed on that sunny and balmy day. In fact, he was offering me BOGO drinks because of their grand opening that weekend. I pondered really hard if I should risk the long line of people who also found this offer (or man) quite attractive. However, they must have brought their best workers that day because I was in and out of their line double fisting bubble teas in less than five minutes. Were the drinks delicious? Was it everything I never knew I wanted? Yes! The downside? The dashing gentleman expertly overlooking the operations was wearing a wedding ring. Oh well... read more

I'm so glad this finally opened! I'm not saying I am going to do this... but some gong cha + a movie sounds pretty good... the drinks are amazing and super fresh! I love that I can now get my fix and walk around the mall! 10/10 recommend read more

Excellent. Went for a bike ride in Staten Island, and was looking for a bite to eat in the mall. Saw that this place was just opening so decided to give it a try. Had the passion fruit slush yogurt, and it hit the spot on a hot day. Will be back! read more

I love all of their drinks, one of my go to bubble tea shops. My only complaint is that the employees are rude as hell and some make me feel bad if I don't tip them as much as they'd hoped. read more

4/7/22 First time visiting this Gong Cha at the Staten Island Mall, and yeah not good at all. I've been to so many branches in NYC and they are a lot better, trust me. I ordered a medium Earl Grey milk tea with bubbles and pudding. I don't know why the two workers added extra bubbles to my drink. I clearly watched them make it carefully because I have previous experience as a manager at another Gong Cha. The worker, Rommel and another worker that wasn't wearing a name tag, added the extra bubbles, which I did not requested, and added ice all the way to the top of the cup. I worked at a Gong Cha in Chinatown Manhattan a few years ago during my college days, and yet that's not how they're suppose to make drinks here at this location. The bubbles were not chew as you can see they were sticking as a BIG clump. Why would anyone serve bubbles like this to anyone? Tapioca bubbles only have a lifespan of 3-4 hours. If anyone is reading this, just do yourself a favor and stay away from here. There's better boba shops in Brooklyn, just pay the toll! read more

Really good boba! The staff is nice and friendly as well. Happy to see Staten Island finally has a Gong Cha of it's own.

GREAT MILK TEA. If you're looking for that chewy boba submerged in silky smooth milk tea, this place is to go for that delectable treat that always hits the spot. I'm a simple man and typically go for the basic milk tea with 30% sugar (less if I'm feeling bold) and this gong-cha hits the spot. It stays true to the sugar percentages, provides a consistent ratio of milk/tea, and has boba prepared to the perfect level of chewiness each time. If you're in SI, or even if you're not, this is a place to go for your daily boba pick-me-up. read more

Bad boba. I decided to try this boba and it's not good. The tea itself is fine, the boba was undercooked and had no flavor. Usually when boba is in this brown sugar flavor or brown sugar based drinks it tastes a bit sweet and it's a nice texture. I don't recommend this boba at all, do yourself a favor and go to Vivi's or Kung Fu tea instead. HUGE let down. read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

So this is my second time going to Gong Cha in Staten Island mall. I asked for a mango yogurt with star lychee jelly. My boyfriend came back with a mango yogurt drink with coconut jelly. I went back to ask for what I initially wanted. The girl that was at the register was like it is the same as the lychee jelly and told me to give it a try. So I did and I didn't like the coconut flavor and then she told me it is pineapple flavor..... I'm like just make me a new drink because I don't like it. So I asked for mango yogurt with tapioca topping. I watched her pour the old drink into a new one and added tapioca in it. That defeats the purpose of making a "new" drink because the "pineapple or coconut" flavor is still in the drink. I was so frustrated with the service already, I just took the drink and it had no flavor whatsoever. So I just threw it out. I will not be coming back. read more

We frequently go to this bubble tea location in the mall! It's quick and convenient, there is usually a short line during midday hours but they get your order out pretty quick! read more

Gong Cha - Oolong Milk tea, Pearl Milk Tea, Passionfruit Green Tea with Pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I honestly am so glad that the mall has a gongcha. Its easy to order, the two workers yesterday there were so patient with me, helping me figure out what I wanted, asking if I wanted something fruity or milky, then allowing me to taste some toppings. I also have anxiety when it comes to people and the sweet girl at the register even waited for me to gather all my things and stood there for me to feel more calm before continuing to make my drink even when there was a male customer behind me. Honestly made me so glad that there are still people out there in the world that are understanding. Keep up the great work! read more

Fast and friendly service with the solid bubble tea you'd expect from Gong Cha. Definitely recommend the wintermelon

The bubble tea here is amazing! I have had bubble tea all around Manhattan and Queens and this place is really great. I've highly recommended this place to all my friends in Staten Island! The staff are also all extremely friendly and will help you make a decision on what to order. 10/10 read more

Great to see a Gong Cha opening in Staten Island! The boba here is always fresh and chewy.
