I had the Beef Bulgogi Kaito Cups with bbq sauce which served over white rice. The beef and onions were thinly sliced and flavorful while the rice was sticky and clumped well enough to not give me a hard time with my chopsticks. I would for sure order Bulgogi Kaito Cups again. I also ordered a side of the Japchae which is tasty glass noodles, although I wish there was a way to request no carrots or peanuts through the app. My beverage consisted of the Strawberry Yakult with boba which is caffeine-free. When ordering, I was asked how much percentage of sugar I wanted in the drink. I chose 100% and it still tasted like it could use more. It took almost an hour to be delivered to me due to the distance, so I would have to order it again when I am able to try it on the spot. Overall, I enjoyed my purchases and would return.

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.

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.

We came in on a Thursday night around 7pm. When you come in you see signs to order at the kiosk and…read morethat 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!

TLDR: cozy spot with surprisingly good food…read more 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.

I believe they were the original ones who did the cloud foam, and they do it best for sure. My go tos include matcha cloud, cloud crisp grape, and more recently, my newest fave is the cloud pistachio jasmine tea (a newly released flavor). Only con? It's always busy. Weekends forget about it, have to order ahead in the app and come pick it up like 20-30 minutes later. On two occasions, i've waited over an hour. Not to mention the parking situation by hmart complex. It's still WORTH IT! I've literally tried every place down the line off 27 and there are a LOT. This beats every single one of them. My favorite thing about this place? Walking in, you immediately smell the jasmine tea leaves. AHHH, I could bathe in that smell :)

We placed our order in two separate transactions but showed her both on the phone. She gave us one of them and not the other even though it was explained we had two she told us to come back. A couple minutes later I came back to get the second one and I pointed to our order, she forgot who we were and made us show the transaction on the phone again. What we ordered this time: - Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea (tapioca paired with classic black tea latte) - Coconut Mango Blue (Blue spirulina, fresh mango, blended with smooth coconut milk, topped with sago and coconut milk jelly) - Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut (100% natural coconut water, paired with green jasmine tea, topped with homemade pistachio cloud) All of our drinks were good this time. We've had some issues with quality in the past when they first opened (compared to the location we tried in the city) but now it is fine. I am always so hesitant to return though because there is always somehow a wait or an issue with getting our drinks timely/properly.

Just my opinion, but this is the best bakery in Central Jersey. Everything is always fresh and…read morestraight from the oven. Their cakes are beautifully decorated and delicious. They also offer tea, coffee, and refreshing fruit drinks in the summer. My go-to items are the almond croissant and the coconut buns, but the donuts are flaky and tasty too. They even have a membership program that gives you dollars off your purchases--definitely worth joining if you come often. Overall, if you're looking for a bakery to try, this place is absolutely worth a visit. There's plenty of parking and a few tables where you can sit, relax, and enjoy your treats.

Our first time at an Asian bakery since moving to Jersey! I funny enough heard about this in…read morepassing and not long after, spotted this place in the same shopping center as the 99 Ranch in Edison and I made a pit stop there (hence no drinks) before going on a grocery run. It was at night on a Saturday so many of the shelves were empty but they still had a few things left. Sunmerry appears to be a chain but one that I have never visited before until now so I can't really comment on what they have, but I did manage to grab: MATCHA CLOUD DONUT - This reminded me vaguely of the im donut donuts I tried in NYC. Very soft and pillowy and filled to the brim with a lightly sweet, matcha filling. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about this. RED BEAN MATCHA BAGEL - it's a matcha dough with red bean filling BUT the filling doesn't go all the way around. It goes maybe 65% so if you're splitting this with someone like I did, fingers crossed you both get a decent amount. The bagel was soft and in a bagel shape but it lacked the chew of a bagel. The filling was nice and different but the matcha taste was subtle - if that. Overall, liked the idea, but I wanted more of a bagel chew than what I got and to taste the matcha better. Maybe even have a more even share of the red bean. COFFEE BRIOCHE LOAF - my husband liked this one! Which is good because I got it for him. This is quite good. Soft, lightly sweet with a coffee top. We ate this maybe 12 hours after and much of the top layer had "melted" and gotten on the cellophane but it was still delicious. Perfection. I definitely scraped off the coffee bits from the cellophane so it didn't go to waste. PINEAPPLE BUN W/ MILK - I grabbed this one thinking there was a filling inside and there wasn't. I don't know if the bun was placed in the wrong location or the name is telling me the bun isn't vegan but it's a good pineapple bun but without anything inside, it was a tad dry. Maybe it needs a pat of butter like they do in HK. MELON PAN - I haven't had this in a good long while so I got it for fun. It's smaller than the pineapple bun and the topping is a little sweeter - I remember crunching on sugar crystals. It's not bad but also not filled so it's a tiny bit on the dry side. The place has tables to the side where you can enjoy your goodies. I didn't stay too long but they definitely serve drinks and delicious cakes as well. The staff were nice and the place seemed on the dim side. Fingers crossed I can go back during the day to get a better idea of what they have! In the meantime, this is a good place for an Asian bakery fix. They do list out ingredients under the names of their baked goods so that's awesome! From what I could see, their baked goodies are likely not vegan or gluten-free friendly, though...

I've been here once or twice in college and haven't been back since now…read more This was one of the only shops open after 9:30 on a weekday. I got a Fruit Lust with 30% sugar, but it tasted more like 75% sugar. My friend got 50%, it ended tasted like 125% lol. I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more if it didn't feel like I was drinking liquified sugar cubes. My other friend got the kiwi drink, and that one was really solid and had a lot of kiwi chunks in the bottom. There's some seating scattered across the restaurant, so you don't have to necessarily grab and go. If I was to come back, I think I'll just get no sugar and call it a day.

The tofu was soft and smooshed, versus the typical grilled tofu I have on these sandwiches. It seemed like it was mimicking chicken. My date loved his brisket pho.

We also got spring rolls as an appetizer although they came out after our dishes. The spring rolls were piping hot (almost too hot), crispy, and tasted good as well. My partner ordered a bun bo hue, which he said was tasty but it didn't have pork blood. Overall, a satisfying meal. Would come again to try other items on the menu, particularly the banh mi.

Love coming here and seeing people from toddler age to folks with their grandparents. Bubble tea is for all! My husband loves to try the new fruity varieties that get added to the menu. Every few weeks there is a new, unique fruit combination that blows him away. I stick to my tried and true Thai iced tea with boba, and NOWHERE else has been able to compete. The details are what makes this place stand out. If you buy multiple drinks, they place your order in an adorable, reusable purple bag. Also, there is a rewards program. So if you're an avid boba drinker, make sure you sign up. Every few orders you can score a free bite to eat or bubble tea. Since it's a hit spot, this place can get packed at peak times (post work hours, and especially on weekends). So happy to have such a lovely shop in my town. Thanks, Akihi!

Both items were good, and I enjoyed the waffle, which had ice cream as the filling and was stuffed with fillings, but it was a little difficult to eat since the wrapper is not very practical, and I had to use my hands, so it got a bit messy. Did I regret it? No way, I loved it; hopefully, they would just have a better container for it, lol. Definitely will get a sugar rush, so be careful hahaha. I would definitely go back to try the other flavors
