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.

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

HK style lemon tea, HK style milk tea, Mini pineapple bun with butter (original)

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!

Probably one of the best places to get a Hong Kong Milk Tea. I love how strong the tea is and balances with the milk and sugar.

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

Entrance area + relaxed tiered seating

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

Always come here for more authentically Hong Kong flavored teas. I can't get this made properly anywhere else in NJ. These classic flavors can be purchased in larger sizes too. So def try the HK Milk Tea and the Lemon Black Iced Tea! Also clean & good service!

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

Fun seating!

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!

Curry chicken over rice

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.

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.

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!

N25 is located in the 99 Ranch Plaza on Route 1 in Edison where Yifang use to be. I was a fan of…read moreYifang so I was originally disappointed when I saw that they were no longer there but decided to give this place a try. When trying a new boba place I always try both a fruit tea and a milk tea so I can get an idea whether I would like it or not. The first couple times I went there I tried the Shingen Jelly Passion Fruit Tea and the Red Bean Milk Tea Latte and they just weren't my preference so I was going to just write this place off. I mentioned to a friend who lived locally that I tried it and she said that she loved their Strawberry Matcha and that I should give it another try. Glad I did! Their Strawberry Matcha Latte is the best I ever had. The strawberry puree they use is just delicious and unique. I've actually tried purchasing it on its own to add to my own matcha at home but sadly they don't sell it separately. It's so good that I normally buy one to enjoy the same day and another for the next day but unfortunately they will not make it no ice (I've asked and explain the situation) so the second day one is not as good due to the ice melting. This is probably my most frequented boba shop lately because I'm addicted to this drink. I've come here more than a dozen times in the last 3 months. The people working there are quite nice, they always with no fail mention to shake the drink before drinking. It is clean and they haven't made too many changes from when YiFang was there. I normally order on the FanTuan app for pick up so it's quicker. Parking lot is usually packed but because I order in advance I just park in the 15 minute parking out front and run in. Not sure if I will ever try another drink from there but maybe one day!

I came here with my friend because we were in the area…read more Customer service: They do not welcome or greet you when you walk inside this bubble tea shop. They refuse to have any interpersonal interaction with customers. They inform the customers to use the kiosk machine instead. Cleanliness: The store is clean with no garbage or debris left on tables, chairs, floors, or near the garbage can area. Pricing: The drinks and snacks here are decent prices from $5.00 and up. Ube Coconut Vietnamese Coffee: This drink was a little different and it just did not taste great. My friend stated that he was glad he added sugar, but he felt like this drink could have been better as it was not to his liking. Mango Matcha: I have mixed feelings about this drink as it tasted a little weird. One sip it tastes a little sweet and another sip it tastes a little bitter. I think I should have stuck with some mango drink instead. Chocolate Egg Pancake: Last time we got this item it did not have any chocolate filling inside of it. It was just a regular egg pancake but chocolate looking. They perfected this with the chocolate filling inside and it definitely tastes better now. Overall: I do not think I would come out of my way just to come here to get bubble tea. If I am in this area again next time, then I may give it another try with a different drink. They should also start to communicate with their customers because some customers love to interact with people.

This is a small little shop that has a little bit of seating. There is outdoor seating if you would like to sit outside.

Just keep in mind, there is no/limited seating inside. However, they do have an outdoor bench, but it is unusable based on how cold jersey gets. It's more of a grab and go situation. Inside there's a lot of flavors and options, and they do bubble tea very well. There's different types of cheese, foams, flavoring, and aesthetic colors and cups. Inside you can order via kiosk with all of the pictures and the menu, or you can order at the front with the servers. All the flavors are extremely delicious, and they have a lot of variety. That I don't think that you could go wrong. If you're more into fruity or classic milk tea, they have a lot of ways that you can make a match as well. The only issue is that it's on the more expensive side for bubble tea, with a cup being around seven dollars. But for New Jersey, those are kind of typical pricing for Boba.
