    Needed a snack and Nom Tea did the job. It is a small shop with a few seats serving rice balls, food and drinks. Decided on the Japanese onigiri which is crabmeat, seaweed and egg. Fresh, warm, and tasty. Would definitely try to stop by again to try other items on the menu.

    Nom Tea is a great local spot for bubble tea! It's so convenient to finally have a bubble tea shop right here in Rego Park--no more trips to Elmhurst or Forest Hills just to get my fix. I especially enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee, but the fruit teas are also refreshing and flavorful. Their onigiri is excellent too--cheap, filling, and perfect for a quick bite. My favorites have been the kani and tuna. I'm knocking off one star because the food can take a while if you order in person. On one visit, it took over 15 minutes to get two onigiri, even though only two people were ahead of me. They do accept mobile orders through ChowBus, which might be a better option if in a hurry. The interior is tiny, with just three counter seats, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. Still, a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

    This is a simple, small space for quick bites and bubble tea. I wanted something small to go with my bubble tea. I typically always get Taro. The bubble tea was decent, not the best I've had. I did try the food. I got the shrimp tempura onigiri and 2 piece wings. I enjoyed the food more than the bubble tea. I would come here again to give them another shot for the tea. The wings were really good. I'd definitely get more than 2 pieces next time. As expected with most take out places, service was quick :)

    Roasted Brown Sugar ( Milk Tea) and Jasmine Green Milk Tea

    This is a true hidden gem in Rego Park! It's my favorite places to go to for bubble tea in this neighborhood. The staff are always so nice and you can order via the touch screen or at the counter. They have an amazing combo where you could get a chicken sandwich, fries, and a fruit tea for only $11.50. Their horoscope fruit teas are refreshing and their milk teas are creamy with a good tea flavor. This time I got a roasted brown sugar milk tea and a jasmine milk tea, both with bubbles. The bubbles were chewy and the milk teas were delicious! Always one of my go to's!

    Fried Chicken Wings
    Ethan P.

    For their wings alone, Nom Tea deserves more hype. I was not expecting an unassuming tea place -- that seems to be more popular for their drinks than their food, mind you -- to become a regular takeout spot, but here we are. The spicy chicken wings are always perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of breading on the outside and ridiculously juicy chicken on the inside. And most notable is the spice blend they use to season the wings. Whatever it is, it genuinely surpasses most fried chicken in any form that I've experienced so far in my life. There's value to be found elsewhere on the menu, too; the chicken sandwich combo meal, for example, feels downright cheap for what you're getting. As far as quick eats in Rego Park go, Nom Tea is without a doubt toward the top!

    Mango Pomelo Pulp
    Johnny Y.

    I think doing takeout might not be as great as eating it fresh. As ugly as the burger looked. It definitely still hit the spot. Bit on the smashed side but overall its good. Can't go wrong with the sugary drinks too! The Mango Pomelo Pulp was so refreshing! Takoyaki was on point! was still actually steaming when we got the order. I would say a bit of the disappointment was the sweet potato fries. Not sure how other businesses does it. But some knows how to get it to you crispy all the time. Maybe double fry? But, we airfried it again to crisp it up even though it was one piece of mush. Still tasted good. This is a great spot for the youngsters! for old folks like me. This would be a once a month kind of spot.

    Absolutely love this place and is definitely a great addition to the neighbourhood. Hubby is Taiwanese and he can't get enough of this place.. their chicken sandwich and onigiri are always on point! We even ordered a party sized order of onigiri (or what my friends refer to as Pokémon food..) bring to our friends and they loved it! Since it was a large order, we asked if there's a discount and the shop owner was so accommodating. I've definitely returned more than 10 times since but we just love it!

    White Peach Oolong Milk Tea
    Carina H.

    Making a decision on what to order was tough! There were so many flavors of tea to choose from, but I went with the White Peach Oolong Tea. It was so good, my boyfriend kept stealing it from me. The flavor was smooth and creamy but not too sweet. While I can't speak much to service or ambiance because this was a food delivery order, I hope to one day visit the location! The Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken was seasoned exactly the way I like it with pieces of crispy basil.

    I love this place! The food and drinks are all good. The staff have always been friendly and they really care about their food. The place is very small but there's a couple seats in the shop. I have also ordered delivery from them and the packaging has always been top notch. They poke holes in the bag so the fried food doesn't get soggy. My favorite drink is the Pisces drink because we are the best!

    Milk tea with boba
    Sep B.

    This is a cute new spot that opened up in the neighborhood. I popped in for a late dinner and got a grilled chicken sandwich (come with lettuce, tomato, and sauce) without the sauce (the sauce is house-made and is similar to a ranch). The chicken was juicy and moist, and for a straight up grilled chicken , it was good! What would have made this better is if the bun had been slightly toasted. But overall, 9/10 for a fast-food chicken sandwich. I also got a classic milk tea with bubbles (boba is a topping), and a tuna and kimchi onigiri. The boba was squishy and it tasted fresh, and I forgot to ask for no sugar. But even with sugar, it wasn't terribly sweet. Also, major points for using good boba! I drink a lot of bubble tea, and it's my second favorite drink, so I hold high standards for bubble teas. I give the bubble tea a solid 10/10.

    Taiwanese Spicy Popcorn Chicken

    Drinks are generally well made, but my favorite thing here is their Taiwanese popcorn chicken, both regular and spicy. They always fry it very well, crispy and juicy, excellent snack. Service is friendly and quick. Best bubble tea shop around for me.

    Returned to try their taiwanese popcorn chicken. Better to eat right away. Took it home and was steamy but still tasty. Good portion. Their horoscope series tea was still too sweet even when we asked for less sweetness. The mango pomelo is not the same as my favorites from 2 other places, which use fresh fruits. ------ Replaced a bakery and now is a bubble tea/snack place, but more for takeout since has very small counter area by the window (for 2 people maybe). Had their matcha latte. $4.75 for medium. Crystal boba is a new favorite topping bec not sweet at all. Added 60 cents. I have to try how their regular boba is so next time. Also many other drink options - like their horoscope and cake series. Snack food available too. Tried their shrimp tempura and HK (spam and egg) riceballs. Around $4 per. Pretty good. Doesn't beat the price of Sakura ya market onigiri prices where I get sometimes but Nom's are made to order so still warm. Will get from here when craving again. Debit card accepted but 3% fee. :( So cash is better.

    Newest addition to the Rego Park area. I got the Korean fried chicken wings and Onigiri rice ball. The onigiri rice ball was filled with so much Japanese mayo that it was not tolerable to eat, the Korean fried chicken wasn't crispy enough the sauce is just okay. The space is small so it's not a sit down spot, more of a take out and something small quick bite to go spot, you order your food through a kiosk. The food comes between 15-20 minutes.

Seriously, don't sleep on the espresso drinks... you can save a few "bucks" by coming here instead and supporting this small business (hehe, see what I did there?). Clean indoor seating is available (small tables that fit about 4 adults). The girl at the counter is always super sweet.

My toddler likes her a lot and wants to play with her and visit every so often. The food across the board is delicious. I have pretty much tried everything here except a few of the appetizers and the pistol legs. The only item that I don't particularly like is the pumpkin pie, while it's tasty and has a nice texture I don't really taste any pumpkin. I hope this place stays open would really be a good staple and some added variety to the restaurants available in the few blocks of stores located in this section of 108 street.

'Step 1: Choose Your Chicken,Step 2: Choose Your Batter, Step 3: Choose Your Sauces. It's so damn complicated to me. They make you go through all these steps just to get a piece of fried bird. They've got all kinds of crispy wings, some are glossy, some are glazed and sticky, choose your drumsticks or wings. I really like their fried dumplings too and their little free side dishes of radish cubes and coleslaw. Come on your birthday, show identification and you'll get a Happy Birthday sign right on your free basket of chicken legs, or was it a free chicken? I cant recall exactly, but yiu cant leave with it and you cant give it to uour friend, I haveknownsome that tried and i think thats uncool. Imagine getting fried chicken for your birthday, from someone you dont know, it's enough to make you feel like someone out there cares.

Even though the sauce on the Rasta pasta was delicious, the fish had the perfect amount of batter, and the plantain boats had just the right amount of sweetness, it's still difficult to decide which was my favorite!

I would definitely come back again and again next time I'm in the area!

We genuinely liked this place, but this experience has made us rethink whether we'll be coming back.
