Got a free voucher from Yelp to enjoy any medium sized beverage. The chestnut series was tempting but decided to go with fragrant jasmine milk tea. The barista adjusted it no whipped cream, less ice and 50% sugar. The boba wasn't as soft as I thought it was going to be. It was kind of hard in my opinion. I could definitely taste the aroma of the jasmine tea and it was a good flavor and very fragrant. Place looks very elegant and good for groups and pictures since each wall is a different background for picture time! There is a lit up bamboo wall with Master Panda in the center that's good for pictures. Definitely a good hangout spot for get togethers. No loud music either so conversations are better.

Very cute panda themed bubble tea shop in Long Island City. The staff was friendly and the drinks were amazing. Seating was very cozy too.

First time coming here and ordered the chestnut coffee latte with boba and cheese foam It had to be the best bubble tea I had in awhile The place is spacious and wide chairs and tables for sitting Staff were nice to explain each drink I had questions about .. deff will return to try more

Chestnut Rice Mochi Milk Tea
Tracy D.

Discovered this spot from a Yelp Queens event. The space was spacious and homey. There were a few areas to sit and hang out. You can choose to order from the cashier or the two kiosks opposite of the counter. They also have a website to order ahead. There are a lot of unique options on the menu from tea and coffee. They also have seasonal items that rotate. I got the Chestnut Rice Mochi Milk Tea. I loved how the chestnut paste went so well with the mochi. The mochi was so soft and were melt in your mouth in how fresh it was. I loved how creamy the drink was and the combination of the flavors went so well together. Service overall was very quick. I definitely would go back again.

Came to Master Panda on Valentine's Day and was surprised by a rose. Super cute! I had some time and was in search for a late morning spot with a friend. The place is spacious and I love the giant chairs they have. Sadly the baos were unavailable at the time. We ordered our drink with "adventurous" add-ins. I got a milk tea latte with pumpkin puree and my friend had mochi rice for hers. I think my drink probably needed to be creamier to balance out the pumpkin puree. It didn't elevate the experience. As for the mochi rice, it wasn't bad but a bit too thick. The drinks are on the expensive side (or so I think) but if I'm in the area, I'd stop by to give it another try.

My friend and I came here on 3/8 because it was BOGO. I ordered the jasmine tea and she ordered Osmanthus. TBH, the location is so far from the station. Especially since the 7 is not running to court square on the weekend. The drink itself was a little bland, needed to be steeped longer in my opinion. One thing I liked about the drink was the cup as it was so cute. The service was a little slow, I wished they would've hired more workers to quicken up the service. Otherwise, the ambiance was great and the interior was cute and photo worthy. As part of the promo, my friend and I also got fluffy bags. Overall, the drink was worth the price.

So cute

Be prepared to wait abt 15mins for a drink. 4/5 osmanthus milk tea w/matcha cream: This was really good; floral, well balanced, matcha flavor was spot on. 2/5 chestnut rice mochi milk tea- something abt this drink was really off- tastes like fake milk: oat milk or something.

Grape Fusion Supreme
Susan L.

This is a very cute, clean and spacious cafe, close to the 7 train Jackson/Vernon stop or a 15 minute walk from Court Square subways. Great place to meet up with friend(s) and sip some tea. The girl at the counter is very nice and friendly. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. They will let you know when your order is ready. They seem to have a lot of UberEats delivery orders, but if you're not in a rush, you can lounge in the cafe on one of those comfy chairs while having your drink. They have a variety of milk teas, fruit teas and slushies. I tried a few drinks. My fav one is the Grape Fusion Supreme with real grapes in it. It is also a popular drink. Another one that I liked was the Jasmine Passion Mango with passion fruit in it. There are other drinks with rice mochi in it, but I didn't like the rice mochi, even though they had high reviews. It's like a dessert in the drink. It's a big soft chunk vs in ball shape form. Don't think I've had this kind of mochi before. Other than that, I think the drinks itself without the mochi would be okay. You can customize the sugar and ice levels too. They also have buns for snacks but I haven't tried it though. I'd say it's a great cafe to visit when in the area.

Green tea mochi. Strawberry milk mochi.
Christine R.

Came in earlier this week and tried the strawberry milk mochi and green tea mochi. Both were ordered with little ice and regular sugar. The strawberry milk mochi was delicious. Exactly what I thought it would taste like. I personally did not find the green tea mochi drink that enjoyable. The service was fast and the employee was very nice. The cafe was very cute and a perfect place to hang out with friends.

Mango latte - "$1 drink" that day (Dec. promotion, check their IG)- strong coffee, fresh mango. Addtl jelly $1- coffee jelly, not sweet

Went to redeem a coupon for 50% off total purchase (2nd one I got for Lunar New Year this year...thanks to MP) - got a few drinks and tried some of their food items. New to me was the Grape Fusion Supreme. It was refreshing, with grape chunks and very little grape seeds - so much better than a grape smoothie I had from another place (didn't like the blended seeds in that one.) Taro puree can be an addtl topping so instead of getting a taro drink, I just added it for $1.50. Tiramisu was light, good dessert at $5.50. The Pork baos were dry, maybe the bread and meatball were too dense, not juicy. The Joyful Treat Bowl has a base- I picked rice mochi; 5 Toppings from the drink toppings menu (with boba, chestnut boba, crushed fig, cheese foam and extra mochi), thought there were fruit options but none; sauce - got matcha. Looked like a mish-mash of ingredients and similar textures but my husband and I did like it. It is a shareable size. Daily happy hour specials for this month (check their website). For BOGO free offers, drinks have to be the same, even the toppings.

Tried some delicious new drinks at Master Panda a bubble tea shop in Long Island City and it did not disappoint. Loved the panda theme decor and drinks. We tried their most popular flavors. The teas really shined through the taste. You can smell the flavors upon entering the store. Staff were friendly and greeted us right as we entered the store What we got: *CREAM CRISPY TREASURE TEA GREEN TEA GUMMI BEARS MILK CREAM *ENJOY FIG TREASURE TEA GARDENIA TEA CRUSHED CREAM *Peachy peach

Jasmine Milk Tea
James B.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, I tried out their Jasmine Milk Tea. Pro: The Marshmallow panda is cute and tasty Con: The Milk Tea itself stinks, all you taste is water. It is super watered down and not worth it. Overall: Not going to again.

As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Yeah Id say that was a pretty splendid meal. Shared everything thank goodness…read more Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
