    My friends and I decided to stop by this bubble tea shop as we were in the neighborhood picking up one of our friends. The staff: They do not greet you upon entering the building and just waits for you to order. They do not give a welcoming vibe at this location. They should be a little more energetic and at least thank us for coming in. Mango Green Tea with coconut jelly: It lacks the flavor of the mango as if they did not put the right amount of mango in the drink. The tea overpowers the mango itself. When we go to the other locations the drink tastes fine. Mango slushes: This also lacks the flavor of the mango and the ice overpowers the drink itself. The tapioca was cooked and tasted a little mushier and chewy. Cleanliness: The store is pretty small and is clean with no trash or debris on the grounds or on the tables. Overall: This location is pretty close to one of the colleges, so it is a convenient location. They should try to measure out the mango correctly, so it has the right amount of flavor.

    Pretty standard. It does get very busy. I waited about 10 minutes. I tried to order online but I was not able to at this location. They do have DoorDash ordering. I did enjoy my drink and the prices are reasonable.

    I was so excited for Gong cha to be opening up less than 10 mins away from me, it is by far my favorite boba chain on the east coast. Give me Gongcha over Kung fu, vivi, or anyone else any day. When I walked in someone was hammering the door and there were tools on the ground near the menu signs, so they are definitely still working on final touches to the store. It took a couple mins for me to be greeted but once I ordered my drink came out super quickly. My earl grey milk tea with 3 Js was of the quality that I expect from Gong Cha. Looking forward to future visits!

    This location is fairly new in the area. It's not my first time in a Gong Cha store, but the vast choices always makes it hard to narrow down a drink. Luckily, the woman working was friendly and helpful about the different things on the menu. I took a chance and got the lemon winter melon w/basil seeds hot and "the go-to drink that never disapppoints", the taro milk tea hot. Both were delicious. It's definitely nice to have a bubble tea store that's so close.

    I'm so excited that there's another bubble tea spot in Union! I ordered my usual - earl grey milk tea, 50% sugar, with pearls. Wasn't disappointed. This will definitely be my new go-to spot!

    I used to be able to go to a little bit more for bubble tea and the place I used to go isn't as great anymore. Thankfully, this Gong Cha location opened and it's pretty close to not only my house but Kean University as well! If you're looking for amazing and quality bubble tea around here, look no further! The staff is also nice and they bring your order out efficiently. I definitely will continue to come here again and again.

    Not happy at all, they are rude and don't care if they mess up your $8 drink order. I went bank to Dunkin donuts just for that reason..

    Best bubble tea in town, great place to bring your family and homies! Try the grapefruit green tea, it hits the spot just right!

    They are simply amazing. Very polite and willing to serve. Sometimes they give me discounts on there own. I give them 5 stars.

    My friends and I usually come here every 2 months to eat. However, within the recent few visits,…read morethe restaurant has changed a bit. BBQ Steak rice in stone pot: The rice is cooked to perfection to make it taste like the rice in the stone pot. The broccoli has a crunch to it and is not flavored. The egg is cooked and tastes a bit like a tea egg. The bbq steak was flavored and delicious. Shacha Beef Hot Pot: This tastes good and is filling without any rice to go with it. However, this dish is a little pricey and would be better if it was a little cheaper. Popcorn Chicken: This needs some work as it is not that crunchy and lacks flavor. Takoyaki: The takoyaki lacks flavor that it should have. There is not enough squid inside and is mostly hollow. Spicy & sour shredded potatoes: This is delicious and has a hint of spice. It is a flavorful appetizer. Sichuan Spicy hot pot: This is delicious, but I wish they would add some noodles to this dish. Mango Green Tea with chia seeds: The mango green tea tastes fantastic without the hard chia seeds. I do not know why the chia seeds are super hard, so I always order it without it. Overall: This is a good restaurant to get something that feels like hotpot and some appetizers. The food here is delicious but some items could be made to taste better.

    Big group dinner with friends. Definitely love all the food here…read more Stinky tofu pot is mild flavor so don't expect it like Taiwan style. But as a hotpot, it's good. Lemon fish and pepper chicken are must try! Service is great! The really are on top of all the dishes and very attentive. We will definitely come back for more!

    Following a delightful lunch nearby neighboring business of Lao Wu Authentic Shanghai Dumpling, I…read moresummon bubble tea. This Gong Cha location in Edison, NJ is gargantuan with abundant tables and chairs! It is a clean, well light relaxing atmosphere. I can imagine the table hibernation occupied by patrons lingering for hours as I would with journaling and poetry separately. The atmosphere is decorated with Japanese animation sketches of characters throughout this traditional brick and mortar store. The drink lid also contain animation sketches. As a Asian American woman, I do not have a iota for taken an interest in Asian animation sketches and never did. However, I have a strong predilection for traditional fictional cartoon characters as Hello Kitty, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, or Paddington Bear. This Edison, NJ Gong Cha contains a free parking lot that is shared among neighboring business of a shopping complex 863 Logan Plaza. There are two large Japanese beckoning cats maneki-neko 招き猫 at the register which are adorable and beautiful. Customer service is prompt and efficient because I was the sole customer at that moment. A fleeting moment is all I need to attain my default drink. The female server/cashier Keshia is efficient and attentive. I did receive a sales receipt. Peach green tea, medium $6.50 I requested Oolong tea, but the cashier inadvertently inputted my order in the register as green tea. However, my sales receipt attained stated "Notes: oolong." The tea actually did taste Oolong as well as the dark coloring which my order is accurate. One medium drink with grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 $.075, regular ice 100%, and sugar 30%. I desired this drink to be cold and no milk which my requests were fulfilled and satisfied. The tea was standard but good quality. I have a predilection for Oolong and green tea - particularly Matcha green tea. The ice, as usual, entirely melted and my drink became room temperature - this time during my long-haul car ride returning to NYC. The grass jelly is average, somewhat served chilled and paucity for minimal quantity but a nice delight. I strongly believe there is a price discrimination for preferential treatment as New Jersey is significantly lowered price than its neighbor state New York. For $6.50 medium drink it is very reasonable price by the economic standards of stagflation 2026 era. If I live within distance from Edison, New Jersey and have driving skills enabling car ownership I would surely make the occasional trek to this Edison, NJ bubble tea business.

    Line is pretty long & orders come out pretty slow from my experience going here couple of times…read more Menu is same as other locations, but if you're a first timer, I highly recommend the honey oolong milk tea with no sugar except from the honey and medium ice. I found it not overly sweet where you feel thirsty, but hits the sweet tooth craving. Their bubble waffle is great too, especially if you get boba inside. There are few tables and chairs for dine in option, but most seem to order to go. Facilities are clean, fairly quiet, and plenty of parking.
