Didn't try the drinks or boba, but I did get the spicy popcorn chicken! It was a decent portion and so good, and only came out to like $7. Would definitely go again if I'm in the area. read more

got the Lychee Yakult with grass jelly, and hot Coconut milk tea with boba (both with 75% sweetness). both were good; i'd get the yakult with boba and/or lychee jelly next time! only critique is i wish the hot coconut milktea was more hot instead of warm. no-fuss service and there were a couple small tables and seats with limited availability. would come back! read more

I love this place with my whole heart. I loveee their slushies and I always get it with in a few minutes from ordering. Their snack and drink combo is a must try, so worth the price.The owners works efficiently and their nice too. read more

After picking up shrimp rice rolls, conveniently went to the corner to pick up bubble tea. Clean, cozy & warm inside. I went for the cold coconut bubble tea. Menus are extensive and service was quick & friendly. Coconut flavor was delicious. read more

My go to drink (Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea) whenever I'm around Chinatown It's super refreshing and doesn't feel heavy on the stomach. I usually order it with 25% sugar and no toppings. The service is quick, though the inside it's small and gets super crowded. Not really an issue for me since I usually just grab it and go. read more

One Cup Tea - Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea with 25% sugar and no toppings - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The strawberry smoothie tasted exactly like real strawberries!!! The AC, seating, and refreshing drinks saved my boyfriend and I in this NYC summer heat. read more

I was hungry and my class was about to start so I had no time to waste. I've been passing by this place every weekend but never walked in until now and boy am I glad I did. They offer cool Taiwanese street food and an assortment of drinks. I wasn't thirsty so I just ordered their popcorn chicken and their fried taro. I like that their fried taro are made fresh in house. Both item were fried to perfection. I enjoyed it thoroughly and it wasn't greasy. I also like that they added a springle of sugar on my taro. It was not expected but the guy explain to me that without it, the taro would be tasteless and he's right. Overall, I really enjoy my snack, even shared it with some of my classmate and they all seem impressed. As for the snack shop, they do have about 6-8 seating available if you prefer to sit inside and eat. read more

I came across this boba tea shop on a Thursday evening after a friend recommended. It had a few indoor seats so I was able to order my drinks and chat with friends for awhile. I ordered the classic bubble milk tea with 25% sugar and it was just sweet enough (but not too sweet)! This was honestly so yummy and the boba was super soft. It's one of the best bobas I've had in awhile in NYC and reminds me of the ones I've had in China. I honestly preferred this over Kung Fu tea which is right across the street. Not to mention, my drink was under $5 which is way more affordable than other tea shops. I was craving this so much that I had to come back the next day to try their popcorn chicken as well. To my surprise, their popcorn chicken is also delicious. It's has a crispy crunch and the chicken is tender and well seasoned. It also came with a spicy chili sauce on the side. Overall, I highly recommend to stop by for a quick drink and snack! Now I'm craving more boba! read more

One Cup Tea - Bubble Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

On a whim when New York segue seasons for the Autumn Equinox 2024 I wanted to savor the passage into autumn with a medium apple green tea $4.50 with grass jelly topping $0.60. The first weekend was humid with light rain and I was holding my drink and umbrella while walking in Chinatown, Manhattan. The drink was not very sugary to taste at 25% sugar level, but slightly sweet and the grass jelly was one gargantuan substance of warm grass jelly. My apple green tea had the appearance of an granny green apple. The grass jelly was not chilled and not broken into pieces. Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary source of patronize. The drink price $4.50 is very reasonable, but the grass jelly topping for a flabbergasted price $0.60 was... was worth it! Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg would have been surely been proud of my consumption intake of sugary drinks. Apple green tea fends a false illusion of apple picking but an seasonal autumn vibe in drink form. Customer service is efficient and attentive to heed the hope within my mind for my drink order and fulfillment. Seating is very limited. read more

My sister and I have been to One Cup Tea on several occasions for their drinks, popcorn chicken, and Taiwanese sausages. They have an amazing combo deal where if you purchase a drink, you get any snack on the side for $3.99. I've burned my gums multiple times on their popcorn chicken, but don't regret it (nor seem to learn). No pain, no gain, am I right?

I've come by 2 times and enjoyed on both occasions. The have competition across the way, Kings something or the other, but I like here more. They offer drinks, appetizers and sweet treats. My tea was rich and tasty. I don't think you'll regret anything you request. Give it a go! read more

I stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad I did!! I got a medium peach oolong tea with lychee jelly and it was delicious! I had to go back again to get a large lol. When I first went, I saw they had a great selection. They were also busy so I appreciated the workers who made my drink. The place is pretty small but definitely worth it for the drinks and also snack foods. I was tempted to get the popcorn chicken but since I was getting food I decided not. I bet it was good though. Anyway, this place is nice! My cousin got taro milk and said it was also good :) read more

I've tried this place over the past few years and the quality has stayed consistent. I like this place and think the prices are fair considering how expensive boba has become in the city. I'd return. read more

Come with cash, since they charge a fee for using card. I came here and got a mango yakult with lychee jelly. The drink was okay, I couldn't really taste the mango part that much. Not the best boba I've had in Chinatown, there's better places. read more

Only tried the fresh mango slush here and it's just as advertised- fresh! You have the option of adding milk (I didn't because I like it more refreshing than creamy).. also I got 50% sugar and it was sweet enough. Huge cup at a good price. They also have food options here if you want a light snack. The drink came out pretty quickly even though they were busy. read more

Solid milk tea place that's usually open past other milk tea places in the area. Got the original milk tea with no sugar and I liked the strong tea taste. Good prices as well! (about $4 for a cup) read more

Kung Fu Tea is right across the street, but I chose to come to One Cup Tea instead and I'm glad I did. I ordered the rose milk bubble tea and the Thai milk bubble tea and both were just right. The bubbles were soft and I loved how the drinks were light and not overly sweet. read more

One Cup Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I'm BLOWN AWAY by One Cup Tea. Whenever I drink bubble tea, I'm usually a loyalist (aka a big fan of Coco). But if you're going to try one bubble tea shop in the Chinatown area, make sure it's One Cup Tea. I got the white peach jasmine green tea with lychee jelly which was delicious. It was just the right amount of sweetness paired with such good flavor. Usually I've noticed that some boba places will absolutely drown your drink with ice unless you ask them otherwise - not One Cup Tea, which I really appreciate. But y'all.....the highlight of One Cup Tea is their popcorn chicken. I'm Taiwanese, which means I grew up eating the stuff - and when I tell you their popcorn chicken is good, it's GOOD. I haven't had popcorn chicken that amazing since I last visited Taiwan....salty, a little spicy, with the perfect amount of crunch when bitten into. I will 100% be stopping by One Cup Tea every time I'm in Chinatown now, because I'm now addicted (side note - they have a great deal where if you purchase a drink, you get any side for $3.30. $3.30 for the best popcorn chicken you've ever had?? Worth it). TLDR: COME TO ONE CUP TEA. I'm even putting this in all-caps for extra emphasis, because I cannot rave about their popcorn chicken / drink combo enough. It's the best pick-me-up for any hard day, and I would 100% recommend. read more

Came upon this place when I was looking for a boba shop that was open at night! This place is more like a no-frills shop, and is a lot cheaper than surrounding boba places in the area. I got the lychee yakult tea with boba and popcorn chicken. I thought the taste of the tea was great but the boba was a little soft for my liking. The popcorn chicken was great-- it was perfectly crispy and a good portion size. read more

we went to a random store in flushing because it was our first time in flushing after watching the us open. my mom got two drinks for her and my sister. and then we got the combo for popcorn chicken and it was actually really good. it redeemed our taste buds from the ASS popcorn chicken we ate at the korean restaurant. like why was it so sweet. but here it was amazing. i want to go back. i can't wait to be back. read more

Great drinks, generous with the boba, the popcorn chicken was a big portion, well seasoned, and crispy (the sauce is in the bag, don't be like me and discover it with your last bite). While it is small inside, there are a few tables. I'd say the place seats 6-7 max. read more

Card Payment has a minimum or they charge extra for it. I came here on a 80degree Tuesday @ 2:30pm and there was no line. I got the drink and snack special, which is the price of the drink (under $5 for Large) + 3.99 additional cost for the snack. I got the Peach Oolong Tea with Lychee jelly ($0.50) and the Original Popcorn Chicken. Air conditioning in here was ample and the staff make it a point to close the door so the place stays cool. To corroborate what another reviewer said about the ice in their drinks, it's true that they don't have an excessive amount of ice. Always a plus for me :) As for the popcorn chicken, it was surprising how delicious it was. Larger than the pieces you get at other places and freshly made with a crunchy exterior to it (which is a near necessity for my fried chicken nowadays) but the inside wasn't dry at all. Chicken also comes with a side of sauce (probably sweet chili) and goes well, since the Drink & Snack Special only allows for Original Flavored Popcorn Chicken. Peach Oolong Tea was also good, and wasn't too saccharine sweet (which I'm not usually a fan of) but the all-star here was the Popcorn Chicken man.... All in all, I will definitely be a returning customer! I'm even willing to regularly buy things at full price if this is the consistent quality. Trust me, it's worth it! Especially before it gets super popular. I'm hoping it stays relatively chill so I don't have to fight the crowd but their popcorn chicken is just that good. read more

Loved the bubble tea here!! Ordered the Rose Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Bubbles and it was like a little taste of heaven! It had little bits of what seemed like candied rose petals floating in the tea. They have a special where you can order an app along with a drink and you get a small discount but we were too full from lunch to sample any of the food. I did end up getting another large Boba Tea to go though! :) Highly recommend. The place was tiny with just a few tables and chairs but it's mostly a take out joint so it fits their needs. The girl behind the counter didn't speak much English but enough to get by with pointing and gestures so no complaints. read more

I've actually been here a few years ago, when they first opened. The area has three different bubble tea spots. But went in to order an apple Jasmine tea with Boba. There was a guy taking the orders, but he wasn't friendly and talks a bit rough. It's like he's rushing you to order. Their Boba is nothing special. Price is decent but that is just about it. On the cup, it does state that the tea is best within 15 mins. The color if the tea, did get darker. I will most likely not go back. read more

we tried this place since KFT across the street was super packed and it was one of the best decisions ever! we didn't expect too much but everything was really good :) we got: lychee yakult (awesome) jasmine green milk tea (good, but wasn't fragrant enough) classical milk tea (amazing! definitely would get it again) popcorn chicken ($5.50 but it became $3.99 since we got it as a combo with one of the drinks. it was really yummy!! definitely worth getting for so cheap) overall 10/10 dessert place!!! PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY it looked so empty before we walked in. read more

Mom and pop shop. Trying to survive around all the other bubble teas place. I ordered 3 drinks from here. There's nothing special about here. But I liked how some of their drinks remind me of some childhood drinks or ice cream. read more

Terrible customer service. They got our order wrong and told us we were wrong. We ordered a strawberry slush and a watermelon slush that was shown as a picture at the register. The cashier gave us a strawberry smoothie which looked nothing like the picture or the watermelon slush and tasted completely different. When we brought this up to cashier, she didn't know what to do and asked her coworker in the back on what to do in Mandarin. The coworker told her to tell us we were wrong and that is what we ordered -- then repeated what she said in English. We understand mandarin. We responded by telling them: 1. We know what you're saying 2. We didn't order this The cashier then got very apologetic and told us they ran out of strawberries, so they opted to give us the strawberry powder/smoothie. They did not offer to replace it. We asked for a possibility of changing the order to a watermelon slush but she said told us she will charge us extra. They could've told us that they didn't have strawberries and couldn't make it in the first place... In short, this place wont tell you if they've run out of things and replace your order with something similar without telling you just so they can make a buck off you and hope you don't realize. If you bring this to their attention, they will gaslight you and say that you're wrong. Don't come here. What a waste of time and money. Avoid this place, especially if you don't speak their language. read more

being from San Francisco I like to think my standards for Boba are super high. This place is amazing. I'd recommend calling ahead to make sure they are open. The mango yakult and passionfruit green tea are both amazing. I'd recommend the lychee jelly and Boba for toppings!! read more

Pretty mediocre milk tea boba. Ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba, light ice/sugar. The milk tea was lightly floral but overall didn't have much flavor. Boba was also only so-so and tough to chew. Tried about 5 boba places in Chinatown that day, definitely won't be coming back here if I'm looking for MTB in Chinatown again. read more

Highly recommend this place after coming several times now. Love, love, love how they make their Avocado Smoothie ~ so fresh & delicious!!! :)) Also appreciate how they'll make it to my preferences of half sweetener and half boboa amount. They have the best from what I've found around the city, so I'll make a trip to Chinatown just for this smoothie. In fact, I've come so many times that they already know my order before I say anything. ;) Plus, the staff is really kind and pleasant. read more

This time I ordered a Green apple yakult and the person got my order wrong and gave me apple green tea and I ordered the second time and they added lychee jelly when I asked for strawberry.
