I've been here before when they only offered bubble tea and I'm glad they've expanded to also offer food. The menu is limited and they offer mainly Hong Kong style snacks and rice/spaghetti dishes. It is a self-serve, no tip restaurant so you'll need to either order their their kiosk machines, or there's QR codes available on the table for you to order from your phone. We ordered their slippery egg chicken rice combo with Hong Kong style milk tea with aged tangerines, a slippery egg rice with pork chop, and also baked pork chop rice with curry sauce and cheese. The slippery egg rice was on point. The eggs were silky, moist and velvety , almost custard like in texture. It was also rich and savory. I like how the chicken was lightly fried without having too much breading. They used chicken thighs so it was moist, tender and well seasoned. The fried pork chop, which was similar to pork katsu, was perfectly fried with a crispy, well seasoned crust which adhered well to the meat. The meat was juicy and succulent. The curry had a mild kick which I liked and there were also little pieces of carrots and potatoes in it. The only thing was I felt there was a little too much sauce as I felt the rice was drenched in it, which made it a little too rich for my liking. The lemon tea with aged tangerines was my favorite. The lemon tea tasted authentic. One of the best I've had including the ones I've tried in the Hong Kong style cafes in nyc. The tea flavor is intense which I can tell it's not just from a tea bag. The tea was balanced well with aged tangerines which added more citrusy and a subtle earthy flavor. The drink is bold yet refreshing. I was told they have a slushy version so I would go back to try it next time. It is self serve as I mentioned before as you will have to go get your own cutlery, plates and napkins at the table by the register. The food came out shortly after I placed my order and the staff were all very friendly. This is a good options for a quick lunch/dinner and price is very reasonable as you can get a dish plus a drink for $20 and under and you don't have to tip. I would return again for sure. read more

We saw all the great reviews - people rave about the milk tea. Next time we will try that. I was hoping for some authentic HK Cafe style food. They have a very limited menu and the food was average. Pork chop was tasty. The toast appeared to be pan fried toast with little evidence of egg. It was like toast with peanut butter which you dip in condensed milk. Overall they should enhance the menu and the food to draw more business. read more

We came in on a Thursday night around 7pm. When you come in you see signs to order at the kiosk and that it is a no tip establishment. We ordered and sat down. What we ordered: - Slippery Egg Pork Chop Over Rice combo with a Deluxe Passion Fruit Green Tea with Boba - Ribeye Steak over Noodles combo with a Strawberry Creme Brulee milk (Black Pepper Steak) The food came out pretty quickly and it was all very delicious. You have to grab your own plastic ware and napkins from the table in the back. The table also has tops for all the containers in case you do not finish and need to take it home. Around 7:35 a worker came over to check if we wanted to order anything else because they were about to close the kitchen. He was very nice about it, I can tell he wasn't trying to rush us just wanted to make sure. As we were finishing up our meal, another worker came and gave us a container of freshly cut oranges! So incredibly sweet. I couldn't finish my meal because they gave a generous portion so I brought it home to my partner and he absolutely killed it and thought it was so good! I will definitely be back and recommend it to everyone! read more

I had high hope for this place serving HK style food. It's a little on the pricey side and I think the rice and pasta a little undercooked and hard. But other than that the food is decent though not all that HK style. The fried pork chop was excellent. Soft and crunchy. HK style milk tea has the HK milk tea taste. We also had the strawberry flavor milk which was ok. The black pepper chicken was just ok. There's no tip. You can a QR code to order or use the kiosk and they bring you the food in takeout containers, if you don't finish they have lids for you. The workers are super nice and came multiple times to ask about the food and stuff. read more

TLDR: cozy spot with surprisingly good food HK Alley has always had a focus on brewing high quality teas and drinks you'd find in any shop in Hong Kong. They also make traditional HK cafe style hot foods you'd never expect to have in a drink shop. I was especially impressed by the cha siu (bbq pork) - they make it in house, which is an amazing feat on its own. It's wonderfully tender, sweet, and succulent. I would highly recommend dropping in for at least a drink if not a whole meal. I certainly will be coming by again soon. read more

Casual place with good HK favorites like Fried Chicken. Hubby ordered the Eggplant Casserole and it was so flavorful that we ordered another rice to soak up the sauce. You also get so much pop corn chicken for an appetizer! read more

Nice to have a restaurant that has HK style menu as an option in the area. Decent food. They also have a combo option that includes a drink.

I recently discovered Fresh O' Tea in Edison. They brew fresh teas and use freshly cut fruit. It's never been too busy when I've visited. Here's what I tried: - Red bean milkshake - 4/5 stars - Cheese Foam Black Grape - 5/5 stars - Pineapple buns heated with butter - 5/5 stars - Kiwi Mango Green Tea - 5/5 stars - Creme Brulee Milk Tea - 4/5 stars - Grapefruit Orange Green Tea - 4/5 stars - Pineapple buns heated with fresh taro - 4/5 stars All their teas are freshly brewed, with a focus on tea-forward Hong Kong teas. My husband was surprised by how strong the tea flavor was in my HK Creme Brulee Milk Tea without sugar; he thought it needed 30% sugar. The tea uses evaporated milk, giving it a luxurious creme brulee taste. Surprisingly, they don't offer milk substitutes. The staff are very friendly and make excellent recommendations if you are ever unsure of anything. They do take pride in making their drinks for you as they explain they brew their own teas and there are no powered utilized to make their drinks and snacks. There aren't many tables, but there is a stage with available seating. Since it wasn't busy during my visits, I had my pick of seats. Parking can be tricky, but there's more parking in the back, which is safer and makes it easier to pull out onto the street. Service: 5/5 stars Food: 5/5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 read more

I tried their garlic pineapple bun this time along with the original. I think the garlic one has more flavor imo. But if you dislike the taste of garlic, I recommend you go with original instead. I ate lunch before stopping by, but next time I would really wanna try their pork chop pineapple bun. Can't wait! read more

Came here based on the good reviews, but this was easily one of the worst restaurants in the Edison area. The wait time for our food was extremely long, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Do not order the steak. All of our steaks were badly overcooked, both the tomato sauce and black pepper versions. The black pepper steak in particular was very dry and overly salty. The pork chop was just okay. The owner was also quite annoying, constantly talking to us while we were trying to eat already disappointing food. The only decent item we had was the milk tea, and even that took a long time to arrive. Overall, I do not recommend this place. read more

Located in what was once Moge Tea, Fresh O Tea has a variety of quality beverages and snacks. Ambience is same, not much has changed design wise from its predecessor. Ordered was a Grapefruit Orange Tea. Bits of fresh grapefruit and orange pulp were interspersed in green tea, giving my beverage notes of orange, layered with grapefruit rind, topped with a slice of lemon, adding a citric freshness to what is a slightly sweet drink with 30% sugar. The tea was refreshing. A Pineapple bun with taro paste was ordered as well. The bun was served warm with taro paste sandwiched inside. The bun crust was slightly sweet, with a crunchy topping and stuffed with sweet taro paste. A must for pineapple bun and taro fans. Staff is super helpful with any questions regarding ingredients. Notes: * Parking in front and behind store * Rewards program * Kiosk or order in person * Uses dairy, no alternative dairy available read more

I was curious to try this spot because it used to be Moge Tee. Now with the name change and same management I wanted to see if the quality of drinks and service was just as good as it was before. Ambiance - love the variety in seating options. You can sit in more traditional booth seating or sit in a more relaxed tiered seating area - plenty of natural sunlight Service - friendly staff - attentive general manager: my friend got her drink but realized that it was too sweet for her. The general manager insisted on remaking her drink for her to her liking. - drinks were made really quickly! I had my drink in my hand right as I finished paying My drink - Hong King Milk Tea- 30% sugar with boba. I enjoyed my drink! Black tea flavor was strong and the sweetness level was just right for me. Boba could have been chewier and more qq I'll definitely be coming back! It's the perfect dessert/drink spot after a good meal at the other restaurants in the same strip mall read more

Great place to hangout, their milk tea is amazing. "This bubble tea was absolutely phenomenal! The flavor was perfectly balanced, with a rich tea base that wasn't overpowered by sweetness, and the tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy with just the right texture. The creamy milk added a lovely richness, and the portion size was generous. Definitely one of the best bubble teas I've had read more

Atmosphere: 5 Recently revamped and rebranded, this tea shop has a unique menu. My favorite is their Hong Kong Style Milk Tea. It's the only one in the area that I know of that has it. I love their seating area with the different levels. It's so fun and I can imagine a group of friends hanging out. Portion: 5 They have a medium, large and a super large (not sure what they call it) size for their drinks. Their biggest one is HUGE! I have yet to order one that big. Just their large (their middle size) is enough for me. Flavors: 5 The HK Style Milk Tea is SPOT ON. It really hits the spot. It's creamy, and has a strong tea taste. The best part is being able to adjust the sweetness level. I've had it hot and have had it cold. There's no compromise in flavor at all. I've been here multiple times already. Be sure to try their HK Style Milk Tea. Classically, without boba! read more

Ordered a bottled HK Milk Tea for takeaway but I'll have to be back again! The HK Milk Tea is strong but also really delicious. Highly recommend at least buying two bottles to go since it's that good. I'd be interested in trying other drinks they have, as well as their desserts! read more

First time at HK Alley and while i never heard of it prior to coming here today, i was pleasantly surprised. The food was very delicious. Good portion for a great price. Had a steady flow of customers, not really a full blown restaurant, more of a cafe style. Ambiance was modern, simple, fresh. The only drawback for me was the parking lot. The parking lot is very limited and very tight. If someone is to do a poor job parking, it impacts others and the in and out of the parking lot is facing that of rt27 which is heavy on traffic. read more

Had a milk tea and a watermelon slushie. Milk tea went down great and watermelon slushie was good but they added this cheesecake? Whipped topping. I do like cheesecake? whipped topping but I am not sure how well it went with the watermelon slushie. Staff was super nice and told me that more flavors were coming later on in the day which did happen. Drinks were pre-prepared so that service could be expedient. This food stand was outdoors under a tent. read more

Fresh O Tea is the newest addition to the Edison area. They recently replaced another Bubble Tea shop so hopefully they can keep up in this densely populated area. Their staff are very friendly and helpful, so don't feel intimidated by the menu. It's very spacious with a lovely ambiance so you can sit down and enjoy your drinks and snacks while socializing with friends. I posted a few pictures of inside for your viewing pleasure. As a first time customer, I decided to try their Tea and Snack Combo. I got the HK Bubble Milk Tea which was very good and the bubbles were fresh and chewy. My Pineapple Bun was served hot and fresh with butter inside and it tasted good. Fresh O Tea is located right off route 27 so it's easy to find. It's in mini plaza which has limited parking in the front of building but there's a lot of additional parking in the back for your convenience. They also offer 10% off with student ID so it's definitely worth checking them out! read more

We got a taro milk tea, a more traditional drink and a pineapple bun stuffed with taro. They use real taro for everything, no powder here. We were even offered to try a new item they were experimenting with for their menu. I would definitely come again, the owner seems to really care about the quality of his work. read more

So good! This place uses fresh fruits and not powder. I got the avocado fruit slush with cheese foam. I was a little skeptical about the cheese foam at first but the gentleman at the register gave me a sample to try it out. Really glad I decided to go with the cheese foam topping! It balanced well with the avocado flavor. Can't wait to come back! read more

Try their [MINI BUTTER BUNs]!!! (aka Bo Luo Bao, which is one of my favorite Asian pastries) These are the only snacks they offer on the menu and yea the price is bit steep BUT you won't regret it! My hubby and I got all four flavors to try (original, garlic, spicy, and taro) and I swear they're ALL delicious. We had to wait a bit for our order so I think they're freshly prepared? HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Would love to see them offering maybe those Bo Luo Bao sandwiches? :D My husband got the [HONG KONG BUBBLE MILK TEA] which is usually pretty highly caffeinated and strong. He enjoyed it. I got the [SIGNATURE BUBBLE MILK TEA] and thought it was ok. Maybe because I prefer Taiwanese style bubble tea. I would say this place is more Cantonese style. INTERIOR - spacious with some pretty cool seating. It looked like they're not fully done decorating the place though. Overall clean. PARKING - there is a larger parking lot in the back plus some spots in the front of the store so do not fret. read more

The milk tea and bun are delicious and well prepared, unlike other places that serve similar items. Great customer service.

I got the creme brulee milk tea. The perfect amount of sweetness. Also bought the. Hk lemon tea.

This has been my go-to bubble tea place since they opened. Their milk tea and fruit tea are always really fresh.

I came here to try the Hong Kong milk tea. I've never had it authentically but the tea flavor was strong and the drink was creamy. The store was pretty much empty when I stopped by and I received my drink fairly quickly. I got 30% sweet which was perfect, as the boba added some more sweetness. The boba also tasted fresh and was very bouncy and soft. read more

second time purchasing here. really nice place. bubble tea tastes like heaven and the egg tart tastes sooooooo good.

Bubble tea was solid and not overly sweet/puffed up with artificial flavors. We tried the pineapple buns and they were good as well!

The drinks here are very delicious. The drinks are very refreshing and flavorful. Highly recommend coming here.
