TOO SWEET AND EXPENSIVE - UNDRINKABLE! Got the Iced Vietnamese Coffee with bubbles and foam. It tasted pretty bad ... way too sweet and lacking strong fresh espresso coffee flavor. For the price of $8, I expect a better drink. Will not be getting this drink again here. I tried to drink it but it was way too sweet, hurt my teeth! Ended up throwing it away! read more

Gong Cha - Vietnamese Iced Coffee added Bubbles $8 -- Way too sweet! Did not like it! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Ordered on Uber eats and I don't know who to be more impressed with because not one drop spilled and it came securely packed! The tea itself was not my fav, the flavor was alittle off and all my boba was stuck together. I'm not a fan of the dome lid as I couldn't really shake the cup to get all the boba mixed around how I usually do. They did have plenty of other flavors, milks, and I did see some with the actual sealed lids. read more

I visited Gong Cha with my family on a Saturday afternoon. There's paid street parking that's pretty easy to find. Inside Gong Cha, the vibes are so calming and aesthetic and it looks like a cute spot to hang out! There's a kiosk you can order from or you can order from the register. I got the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea with less sugar and ice. My family also tried the green tea and a ginger one. I loved the taste and this drink was so refreshing. We hung out for a while as well and there was plenty of seating. Overall, cute spot and definitely one to check out in the Boro. read more

This spot comes to mind whenever I have a craving for milk tea! Along with their milk tea series, their yogurt and sparkling series are also my favorite! I wanted to try something new because I was using my buy 10 get 1 free promo on their app so I got the Strawberry Matcha Latte. It had a perfect consistency of strawberry and matcha taste and both the flavors goes so well together! The drink also came with strawberry pearls that were extra chewy; the perfect texture! Their service has been quick consistently and their staff were always nice and helpful to get my parking ticket validated. They also have poké and egg waffles if you want a snack with your drink! read more

Gong Cha - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Very clean and nice atmosphere to grab a boba drinks and hangout with friends. Staff was very friendly and inside there is also a Poké shop for those who are hungry. I love that they let you customize pretty much everything, the kind of tea you want, milk alternatives, toppings, sugar levels and ice levels. I got a milk foam green tea with 30% ice and 30% sugar. Delicious drinks. read more

I always love coming here they have a few little changes. They now have kiosk where you place your order. I get the tarp smoothie here and my bf got the mango green tea with bubbles. Both were delicious and refreshing! The music they were playing was good!! read more

I stoped by Gong Cha for boba with a couple of my friends after dinner last week. It was pretty empty when we first came. The spot is also a poke restaurant which is kind of cute. It's oddly dark though. Once we got our boba, we sat outside instead. It also took a while for our boba to come out but it got a bit more packed after a bit. The bobaristas (is that a word lol?) were all super sweet though. read more

If a customer asks for a sample before buying it would actually make sense to give it to them because they are actually interested in purchasing something. Won't be back again. You lost a long standing customer. Service matters particularly when drinks are so expensive. read more

I messed up my order and i asked if they would fix it and they did it with no extra cost! I tasted so good. they were so nice. I ended up getting the lychee oolong regular sugar. read more

I had a peach lychee drink and really enjoyed it. They have a large menu and you can order off the kiosk and ask the really friendly employees if you have any questions. They also have a food menu but I didn't try and this trip. Lots of food and drinks option here and the place is very clean. I'd come back if I'm in the area. They validate parking but I don't think we did it right since it didn't work when we got to the parking garage exit so we had to pay. read more

It did take a second to get the 2nd part of my drink but always yummy tasty drinks here. Employees are nice and even with a line get the drinks right out read more

we ordered three drinks and liked them. presentation is cute. tea isn't that strong but the interesting syrup flavors really stand out. you can only order "little ice" instead of "none" which kinda stinks for delivery or walking around in the sun. if you don't stir well before sipping, you will get a blast of epically-sweet syrup into your mouth. thanks to the hardworking staff! recommend: - hong kong style mango drink - strawberry earl gray milk tea with pearl - strawberry marble green tea latte read more

Gong Cha - Hong Kong style mango drink, strawberry earl gray milk tea with pearl, strawberry marble green tea latte, (duplicate) strawberry earl gray - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Consistently bad. The service at this location is fast and friendly, but the drinks are consistently bad. The black milk tea was overstepped, bitter, and watery. The Mango marble was missing its usual bite and the earl gray had no flavor. The brown sugar tasted like nothing more than sugary bitter water with the powder. This specific location needs to work on its tea brewing and drink ratios. read more

Gong Cha - Brown sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Awesome addition to The Boro. Service was friendly, efficient and helpful. The brown sugar bubble tea was creamy with a nice molasses flavor. The guy working there was knowledgeable about the drinks and let me know which drinks can be customized. I wanted my bubble tea 50% sweetness and no boba. I think I'll be seeing this place more often when I come to The Boro. Good thing I don't live here; or else I will be here everyday. read more

Huge selection of boba/drinks! Super chill and nice place. I also really like the Vietnamese iced coffee. Quick and solid service.

Got here right before closing time one night - thanks to the staff for accommodating my order (I was probably one of three final customers thats evening). It's a straightforward bubble tea place, so I suggest ordering your usual faves (if you frequent other bubble tea places) to compare and contrast. I got one of the Taro drink options - wasn't my fave - something just didn't taste quite right, but there are a whole lot of other flavors to try... I'll be back. read more

Another location for the chain, several in Nova now. Staff was pleasant, lots of drink options both hot and cold. They also serve poki at this location though we did not try and can't speak to the quality. There is some outside seating, and being situated right next to Santouka is genius. Who can resist a nice cup of bubble tea after ramen? Note they validate parking in the garage for up to 1 hour. read more

Sweet potato/Ube yam FINally a more health-conscientious VEGAN bubble tea!? You can OPT Out of adding tapioca (poisonous if not cooked thoroughly), and extract the whipped cream, sugar-soluble add-on toppings.. and you can custom I think, the milk choice; under discretion of the franchise.. takes a while to make, but it's worth it. I think it's healthier vegetable/fruit-based slushie; haven't tried dragonfruit just yet. Pricing is mod- -/* $4-$5+ oh and d/L/* "Clover.app" iPhone platform to get loyalty points. Gong cha has merchandise cups and shirts which is good for marketing/customer experience and many people have tendencies to return to this franchise establishments. Commercial interior design is welcoming and many visitors take foodie selfies. Company logo is on point. read more

Got a large taro smoothie, no added sugar, double boba. Came pretty much as I expected but with one catch: the lid is a domed lid rather than a typical sealed lid, which means I couldn't shake it to mix the boba around the smoothie. From seeing what another patron got who entered later on, it looks like domed lids are reserved for smoothies whereas teas are sealed, so if you want it sealed, it may be worth asking. Staff was courteous and kept wearing masks even though I was the only customer in the store for 30 minutes or so (plenty of places slack even when they have to keep masked, so this made me happy). Staff didn't enforce their own face mask requirement for another patron who had no mask at all, though, which was kinda annoying. Can't complain much about the domed lid, which was just an inconvenience largely. Like 4.5 stars basically, minus 0.5 for not enforcing masking as stated on their own door (but hey they keep masked themselves, which is better than most). 4 stars overall. read more

Really good! Boba places in general are really all stepping up their games. This is definitely a twist from your typical milk tea with boba. We got the strawberry smoothie with white peals added and the texture was unique. It tasted almost like aloe in my opinion. The blend of the creme brulee sweetness with the smoothie at 50% sugar was the perfect amount - anything else would've been overkill. The mango smoothie w pearls was nothing special. Probably not something I'd get again. I am interested in trying the taro drink with the taro paste. Moge's is my go to for that drink so I'm curious how this one will compare! My one complaint - the containers are soooo flimsy so while I carried this upstairs, the drink was being squeezed out the top (and I'm not that strong of a girl)... so that was a bit annoying. Hopefully we can go with reusable containers in the future so mason jars can be used. :) read more

Best bubble tea around, hands down. Paired with Poki DC it's your all-inclusive stop for lunch or a convenient place to drop in for a 3pm energy boost. Some tips: 1) Drive down the main drag of the Boro, past Gong Cha towards the theater then take a right. Park in the garage on your right. Emerge 2 doors down from Gong Cha and get your ticket validated. 2) Order using your gong cha app to earn points from the garage and It'll be just about ready by the time you get there. 3) If you haven't tried the brown sugar variations, I can't recommend them enough--though I have found that a little less sugar is the way to go for me. Stir/mix well so you're not assaulted by the sweetness at the end of your drink. I like that the boba are consistently soft and the ice isn't crushed so I don't need to battle ice vs boba in my straw. What can I say? This is my go to. I've got TWO boba places within 5 minutes of my house but I'll drive 15 minutes to go here instead every time. read more

Tiny place with about 4 chairs but there is sitting outside. Their brown sugar milk tea is to die for. They also have waffle ice cream!!

Their bubble tea was good but other food was just average. They don't take phone orders which is super annoying! read more

I've been to Gong cha plenty of times and as much as I want to give it 5 stars, I don't think there's much to rave about? BUT DISCLAIMER!!!!! I've only ever tried their coffee milk tea (and to be honest, that's the only boba flavor I'll get at ANY boba shop). The bubbles are nice and chewy. The coffee milk tea is good, but it has a slight floral flavor (if it's supposed to taste like this my b don't come for me lol). Employees were kind and professional. read more

drink was too sweet and powdery. These guys don't know how to make drinks! the aura was off too...

Really solid bubble milk tea! Conveniently located in the up and coming Boro Tysons neighborhood and near great restaurants including ramen, poke, Italian, and other options. Makes a delicious after dinner, grab-and-go dessert! read more

I did the online order and I guess it was a large order. I ordered 4 drinks and 2 waffles for my family but one of the orders was missing the creme brûlée foam on top. My sister went inside to pick it up and apparently they weren't too friendly with her. Usually I wouldn't be too bothered but it wasn't busy either so a simple hi would have been nice. They close at 9 and I placed my order for 7:45 pick up, so it's not like I'm coming in right before closing or anhtjkAlso I just want to say I gave a cash tip so may I expected too much. Anyway Here's my courtesy 2 star review. read more

This is in my top three of boba places and i get boba at least once a week their menu is expansive but even still they manage to make each drink perfectly. This location is pretty great because it's right next to some food spots, across from a Whole Foods and conveniently located next to my nail place. My faves so far have been their passionfruit sparkling drink, the taro coconut milk and the creme brûlée milk tea read more

Great customer service! Workers so friendly and gives excellent tips. First thing I noticed was the very clean bathroom, best indicator of cleanliness. I love the Bubble Tea as well, they recommended to me Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea, it was really delicious. The regular milk tea is also pretty good, goes well with poke bowls! read more

The restaurant left an excellent impression. Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and wonderful service made our evening unforgettable. I especially wanted to mention that they have good prices, despite the fact that the products themselves are of very good quality. I especially recommend trying a combination of shredded spicy tuna and crabmeat read more

Good boba spot with a lot of options. Recommend getting more sweetness for smoothies and milk teas. 50% wasnt sweet enough for me. A few tables inside and outside. They have bubble waffles which you can smell the moment you walk in. Nice staff and they validate parking up to two hours. read more

So yummy and so many options. Always fast and very clean. Would recommend. Nice seating inside and outside across from Whole Foods.

Was ok, seemed to skimp out on the flavoring and tasted mainly like ice. The service was nice and friendly.

Amazing! I went in 10 minutes before closing and the cashier was so sweet and patient. I got earl grey milk tea with boba & pudding and it was incredible - made just the way I asked. Definitely coming back! read more

so happy that this place opened up!! i love gongcha's white pearls because the texture is something totally different from regular tapioca pearls. My brother and I usually get the Oolong Milk Tea but I've been exploring their yogurt drinks and fruit tea drinks! I don't like it sweet so when i get fruit drinks, i get 0% sugar since the fruit syrup they put in is already sweet enough. For milk teas, i get 30% or 50% depending on my mood. read more

I have had a couple of drinks from this location. The service is friendly. I absolutely love their strawberry earl grey milk tea. It is fantastic. I tried the creme brulee strawberry latte. It was ok. And then there is the black tea with milk foam. It is terrible because the tea is massively overbrewed (likely boiled too hard, too long at too high of a temp). The tannins are overwhelmingly bitter and astringent. I threw it away after 3 sips because it was burning my mouth. I called to let them know because I thought it was just a bad batch. So tonight I got a free replacement and upped the sugar to regular (I usually go for 50%). Same problem. I handed it back after one sip. I've been drinking black tea for most of my life, and I drink red wine, so I don't shy away from tannins, but there definitely is such as thing as too much. I tried the poke once. It was pretty good. I definitely will go back, but will never get black tea again. read more

Their drinks are great. Their service, not so great. The last two times I've been here the order was late. I usually order using the Gong Cha app. My last visit, I ended up waiting 15 min past my order completion time. It looked like they forgot to make the second drink of my order. Even when I reminded them that I was waiting for my order, they ended up completing in person orders, that arrived after I came, in before my order. Today I ended up waiting because they said they never got my order even though the app said it was received. To make things worse, the validation on my ticket did not work so I ended up paying $6 for parking. What's the use of preordering on an app if I end up having to wait anyway? read more

I'm a loyal customer. My family would drive a bit further from home just to have Gong cha's bubble tea over the bubble tea houses close by. So why four stars? The boba straw changed from plastic to paper. Now, I can taste more paper than bubble tea. It tastes horrible! Please bring the plastic straw back! read more
