My personal favorite is their matcha soft serve parfait - it's pricey but SO WORTH EVERY PENNY! When I'm in the mood for boba, their boba is so chewy and perfectly made - none of that mush pearls you get sometimes. Their cakes are pretty great too, my go to is their milk cap cake & cheese mouse cake! Other cakes are fine but I've had better versions of it elsewhere. Lots of kiosks for you to order, which makes everything easy. Service is really fast. Overall a must visit dessert spot esp if you love soft serve!!

Funny I had never been in here until yesterday and I'm in this shopping center pretty often. I ordered the dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba of course. I thought it was just ok.

My go-to sushi place in columbia!…read more Food: 5/5 I cannot rave more about the freshness of the sushi here. I am a lover of tuna and regardless of the roll I order, specialty or regular tuna, they are all delicious. Even the spicy tuna rolls, which can just taste mushy and like filler at other places, is pleasantly filled with tuna. Highly recommend the samurai roll (bottom roll in my photo). Service: 5/5 always quick and kind service, and the owners visit the tables to make sure everything is going well. Ambiance: quiet restaurant with the ability to seat parties of 2 to 8 people.

Upon arrival, I was shocked to see how packed it was, but that was telling of how good their food is. There were a lot of birthdays being celebrated that evening, and it was a Wednesday. They had a private room available, but there is a food minimum and you have to take your shoes off (floor table set up). Though we were offered the option, we decided to just sit in the main area since we were coming with a few older family members and didn't want them to struggle to put shoes back on later and they prefer sitting in chairs. They have sushi, teriyaki, platters and combination dishes. We all had something different, ordering from the combination options, teriyaki and some sushi on the side. Since we all ordered a special, it came with miso soup and salad. The food was brought out in a staggered manner - three out of the five of us got our food before the others, and they almost finished half of their dish before ours even came out. I had the beef teriyaki and I was shocked to see that it was a large piece of beef, and we were given knives to cut it up. I am used to the meats being already cut up, so this was different. The food was still good though! I will say that I wish there were more broccoli, than bean sprouts accompanying the meat - the dish was still delicious though! The chunk of meat was so large that I actually had leftovers to bring home as a second meal. The sushi was impressive. Not only was the selection so large and I wanted to order every single one of the special rolls (but I didn't because my eyes tend to be bigger than my stomach), they use all fresh ingredients. The shumai was unimpressive, but because everything else was good, I didn't really mind it. I feel like my rice bowl was not full, as most restaurants pack the rice into the bowl; whereas I felt like there were air pockets in mine so there was a little less. To my surprise, they had a decent dessert menu: several ice cream options, variety of mochi and a few cake selections. Because they knew we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with different cookies to share! It came out with a sparkler, and the employees singing along to a soundtrack played on the speakers. This really made my sister feel so special, and as I said before, it seemed like most of the larger parties there were also celebrating a birthday that evening. Delicious food, friendly service, easy parking and fun atmosphere!

The date from online was mediocre (1 date, no 2nd date), but the drink was far superior to Kung Fu Tea, which I always had a pretty high regard for until that June 2021 day. I visited a few other times in 2024-2025. A Meetup group I'm a part of likes to go here after the dinner & game Meetup. The staff is accommodating as we are rushing to get here before 10 PM closing time, really by 9:45. The organizer of the Meetup suggested ordering ahead on the app, so they aren't so slammed with 10 (or whatever #) of people 15 minutes before closing. I heeded his advice. They are efficient getting the drinks done in a timely manner. Staff is nice, and they aren't abrupt with kicking us out the second it hits 10 PM (like Starbucks the very second it's closing time, they will practically yell at you to get the heck out of there). At Gong Cha, the staff is polite about it, and we try to still rush to clean up and get out. My girlfriend & I will split the largest size for cost & calorie efficiency. Overall, a delicious boba tea. I will say it's a bit on the expensive side in 2025 even compared with some other places, but it's still a solid choice.

I ordered some many years ago, from Amazon, to try them before they were popular and found them too fruity and sour. Tapioca boba, though? LOVE THAT. I adore the chew!
