    Tarts!
    Jenny C.

    Very cute place to unwind and relax and chat with a friend in a casual manner. I was waiting for takeout and decide to try one of their popular caramel egg tarts and I also threw in a strawberry tart. As an obsessive green juice lover I had to get their daily green bottle and my partner is an avid fan of mango sago so we ordered that as well. I feel like HEYTEA is still better in terms of their fruit tea drinks because they have better tea but their daily green bottle but the spot for me in terms of flavor. The caramel egg tart is too strong for me in terms of an egg tart and is really oily but I enjoyed the strawberry one more because it had whipped cream with some strawberries. Ngl I kept going to the bathroom after this and had major stomach issues and cramping at one point so I'm not sure if it's fiber but usually this doesn't happen to me so I'm a little worried about ordering another one but I really like their branding and the atmosphere of the place. Probably won't be ordering again and go straight to HEYTEA.

    Stopped by for some bubble tea to go after lunch. It was very crowded. My sister ordered her usual for her and my daughter, which she does often at the Flushing location, Highland Tea Latte. My brother ordered a berry drink which he says he enjoyed. I'm not much of a bubble tea person. I ordered Super Orange Fruit Tea. Sounded good but unbeknownst to me there was no sugar added - I hated it. This store was running a promotion when we went - buy 2 drinks to be eligible to draw a ball to determine whether you win a cooler bag, egg tart, or magnet. My daughter received a couple of bags. This seems to be a popular bubble tea place, but for me, I'll give it 3 1/2 stars and next time, I'll add some sugar to my drink.

    A new spot to try drinks that are popular for the moment. This place is quite new in the neighborhood at the time of this review so it is quite packed. Visited the locations in Flushing and other one at 8th avenue and those 2 don't have nearly as many people coming in. I would say this place is mainly just there for hype as I feel the drinks aren't really that good and not worth the price. The inside is just like a cafe with a lot of room for people to relax and chat.

    When Naisnow first opened in Flushing, I remember the lines being insane. So when I heard they were opening a location in Bensonhurst, I knew I had to check it out. The shop is spacious, bright, and inviting. There are a few self-order kiosks near the entrance, along with a traditional ordering line. The pickup process was a little confusing, though. Drinks are picked up in the back while pastries and baked goods are picked up in the front, which made the whole flow feel a bit disjointed? You definitely have to wait a bit, but that's to be expected when it comes to popular drink spots. The drinks weren't very sweet, which is usually a good thing when it comes to Chinese desserts, but I think I may have gone too low on the sugar level. I'll probably order a higher percentage next time before making up my mind. The pastries were definitely the highlight. We tried the original egg tarts, a matcha egg tart, and the pork floss cakes. The original egg tarts were easily my favorite. They were flaky, rich, and worth ordering again, even if they are a little pricey. The matcha version was fine, but I would stick with the classic flavor next time. The pork floss cakes were surprisingly addictive too, although if I had to choose, I would still go straight for the egg tarts. Overall, Naisnow made a good first impression. I enjoyed the pastries more than the drinks, but I'll be coming back to try more of their menu.

    The caramel egg tarts (plain) have crispy flaky layered shells and a super soft silky egg custard . It's delicious. I also ordered the other tarts and didn't realize they were the plain tarts with stuff on top. I should have, but thought it was a tart shell with different fillings, that's on me. So the strawberry and blueberry tarts didn't really feel worth it to me. However; they have a buy 5 plain tarts get 1 free as well as buy 5 specialty tarts and get 1 specialty tart free. The pork floss cakes; it's a sponge cake, a thin layer of mayo and crispy pork floss and seaweed. I thought it was fine, but it leans a bit sweet. It's pillowy soft though. Because it has to be said; logistically it was really rough. They're really trying, it's the weekend and there's a lot of hype. Remember it's the soft opening and they were really nice. I stopped by at 11:15am; that's 15 min after opening on a Saturday. There was a line from the register to the door, and it took 30 min to get to the front. The goods were ready and waiting; so it wasn't about inventory ; it's a logistical issue. A note to owner if you see this: You should have multiple people working the line from the beginning and taking the order and number /name; start packing up the order and by the time they get to the register to pay. Especially if you only have one register. Overall; the plain tarts are tasty! The people are nice, the logistics need work and I hope they figure it out soon. Will try out their drinks next time.

    The coveted egg tarts
    Helen C.

    So loud. So many people. So little tart options. I'm guessing they are very well-known because they ran out of certain items on a random Wednesday early afternoon. The music was sort of cutting in and out, maybe because it's blasting too high. People with sensitive auditory issues, stay away from the back booths. We had to move to another table because the noise hurt our ears. Come prepared knowing what you want to order because there are only 2 kiosks for you to click to buy and there's 1 register but no cashier to handle your business because everyone is frantically all over the place, trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup. There was a line for food and another line for the loo. There's only one. And they ran out of toilet paper, sad times... Maybe it's a no-school day, maybe they're extremely popular, but damn, I was not expecting to wait 30 minutes to get the regular egg tarts and a few drinks. Ain't nobody got time for dat! Overall, a great addition to the area and I'm confident they will succeed. They just need to fine tune some things for the grand opening.

    I tried the strawberry drink which was actually pretty good but I don't believe it's worth the $7. However, the Dino did arrive super quick, very pleasant and friendly staff! Lots of straws, cup holders, cute sturdy bags, even finger gloves and bathroom. Very aesthetic decor and clean seats. I wouldn't get the drink next time but excited to try the other options like the pastries which I believe should be delicious! Even have a buy five get one free so I'll come back to try that next time although they are pretty pricey at around $4.5 each

It comes already with crystal boba which is my favorite. So it's supposed to be a combination of pomegranate juice and jasmine tea. However, I don't really taste the Jasmin tea that much.

Their…read moredrinks - not all but some - are comparable to HeyTea's, especially the matcha and mango drinks. I've been drinking their watermelon slushee often because it's free when you spend over a certain amount on one of the food apps. I get the least amount of sugar and it kind of tastes like watermelon juice. It's very refreshing but I wouldn't send it out to compete with the other popular tea chains. This place not only sells drinks but sandwiches and small bites. Their crispy chicken sandwich is recommendable. The sauce is yummy and the chicken is usually juicy. I usually get the combos so I can takoyaki or curly fries with the sandwich. Recently, I tried their egg waffles, which seems to be a newer offer here. They have very enticing flavors, but it's kind of pricey considering it doesn't come with ice cream, like some other egg waffle shops. I tried the pork floss with seaweed but it tasted too fishy. I also tried the mochi biscoff flavor but the biscoff is not very obvious. It is softer and chewier than the pork floss and seaweed, and I think it's because of the mochi. I prefer my egg waffles crispier

    I recently ordered from Mars Tea and tried their Green Tea Bubble Tea with tapioca during the…read morebuy-one-get-one-free deal on Uber Eats, and it was such a great experience! The drink had the perfect balance of flavor--not too sweet, very refreshing, and the green tea taste came through nicely. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy, just the right texture. On top of that, the BOGO deal made it an amazing value. Definitely one of the best bubble tea spots I've tried, and I'll be ordering again!

    Covid Delivery Review…read more I started to fiend for some bubble tea after the crazy deprivation we've all had to endure and Mars Tea was the only shop on Grubhub/Seamless to not charge a delivery fee, so it was time to try Mars Tea. And I'm glad I did! I ordered the Fresh Strawberry Slush Tea, Mars Dirty Tea and Thai Fresh Milk Tea With Bubble. Fresh Strawberry Slush Tea The strawberry slush was certainly made with real strawberries, though probably frozen instead of fresh. It had the signature seed grit and chunks here and there. Just know that the bitter tea will cut through the strawberry. Thai Fresh Milk Tea With Bubble This is Mars Tea's take on Thai Ice Tea. It tasted pretty good! Mars Dirty Tea Unfortunately it didn't travel well, but that's not a surprise. Dirty Tea is only visually appearing right when they serve it! Of course, it'll taste just as great no matter when you get around to it. Just stir up the sugar and get that sweet sweet high.

    Been a regular here for years now and this place holds a special place in my heart. My all time…read morefavorite desserts are here that are found nowhere else. The star of the show: purple yam souffle with vanilla ice cream is chefs kiss!! I thought I couldn't like any dessert more than their chocolate molten lava cake but this one definitely takes the spot. Top two desserts they have! Even when I had lava cakes at fancy establishments, it doesn't hold a candle to prince tea house! Their crepe cakes are also alright but I've found the to be less unique and enjoyable especially the brown sugar boba which sometimes comes out in clumps hard to pour onto the cake. Their food selection is decent for sandwiches like chicken katsu and also fries. Their fruity teas aren't my style but their hot milk teas are amazing. The lavender green tea was more green tea which was disappointing, hoped to taste more lavender. The best one is the rose lovers milk tea, literally perfection each time. Unfortunately, this place may no longer be my usual. My favorite part of this place is that the serves don't really care about you in the sense that the bring you food and leave you alone. However, they now impose mandatory 20% tip on all tables even for table of 1 or 2. This location only. As someone who realizes the servers here simply bring food and nothing else here (which I actually love as I don't like to be bothered) but expect a high mandatory tip, this is not the way to go. Especially since there have been numerous occasions where servers are nowhere to be seen and refuse to service you for something as simple as napkins or a check if they're not your server, this is an absurd addition. Definitely visiting less now that this happened. The most bothersome is that it's mandatory. Doesn't seem right/ethical and makes it feel less genuine. Had the pleasure of visiting other prince tea house locations and the service seems better, even water without asking, surprising cash discount, and most importantly: don't impose this mandatory tip! Not sure what changed here but not what it used to be with this and it needs to change. TDLR: -best options here: rose lovers milk teas, chocolate lava cake, purple yam soufflé -major con: new mandated 20% tip!! on all tables, even table of 1 or 2, which is unheard of at other prince tea house locations and even fancy restaurants!

Highly recommend the rose milk tea where you can adjust the sweet level and my kids love their slushy. For apps: the buffolo chicken has a crispy skin and is juicy on the inside - it's tasty in itself but also comes with a ranch and siracha mayo dip on the side. I like their sweet potato fries and fried shrimp lollipop too. The purple crepe cake for dessert is very filling, and I tend to get this here since lots of places don't sell this. Love their booth tables in the front and the back green house garden is nice too if you want more sun.

Didn't taste well either, clearly not fresh and disappointing compared to last time with the same exact order. Also tried something new: the ovaltine toast. It was alarmingly small and didn't have as much flavor as was hoping. The place was also not crowded late at night but the server seemed annoyed/bothered when we requested to sit on the couches and coincidentally a bigger table for 4 when we had 2 even though we had bags.

I may have also seen a karaoke machine in the back, but I'm not sure if that's available for public use.

I really liked the texture of the soufflé pancake and the cream was so tasty. Unfortunately, after eating one pancake, I ran out of cream for the rest, so I definitely wish there was a little bit more to go around. Wasn't the biggest fan of the milk tea, but it did the trick. My friends and I had a lot of fun playing board games and it was just a really cozy spot to chill.
