    Went in there for the first time yesterday and though it's a cute spot in a high traffic area, the customer service was horrible. I walked in with my kid and not a greeting from the lady behind the cash wrap/food area. Her answers to our questions were short and very cold. She wore the same gloves to cash as she did to make the bubble teas and food we ordered. My daughter wanted soy sauce and when I asked she screwed up her face and said in a cynical tone that they don't have that there. The prices are okay, the food was okay (those wings are too monstrous and a bit too salty) however I'm not going back simply because customer service was not there.

    Quick friendly service, use to go to the one in flushing all the time before it closed. Delicious and tastes just the same from decades ago.

    Popcorn Chicken, jasmine milk tea
    Anna D.

    I'm speaking about the popcorn chicken especially but the one I got had basically no seasoning and was supposed to be salt and pepper. For $7.50 each the size has definitely decreased despite the changed to boxed packaging. I guess this is a midtown location so it's pricier but I wish at least there was seasoning. There's seats here though which is nice to just come by and have a pick me up.

    Lots of different options to choose between. You can get either a milk tea or a slush or just regular tea. You also have the option to choose between your add-ins. I went with the strawberry Boba, which was absolutely delicious. It's made really quick, and you just have to wait a minute or two for it to be made.

    3Q Milk Tea
    Johnny N.

    We tried this place in Manhattan after desperately craving some boba. It was a small spot, with a good amount of seating and a lot of customers. I tried the 3Q Milk Tea with 0% sweetness. It came with both pearls and egg pudding. I didn't expect there to be two toppings and without adding more sweetness, it was just about right! I recommend stopping by here if you're near Tomes Square!

    Came in and got a Fresh Mango tea with tea jelly and tapioca pearls. Didn't try the food. Place has a couple of seats so you can sit and enjoy your drink and/or food. Tapioca pearls were a little too soft and I feel like it was a little overpriced. But nevertheless very good.

    Coffee Jelly Bubble Milk Tea
    Himani M.

    I got bubble tea from here on the first real hot day of this summer, that too after an intense dance class, so I really needed it and it was so refreshing!!! I got their special signature Coffee Jelly Bubble Milk Tea! I liked the flavor, not too strong of a coffee flavor but also not too mild. I got the small size with 50% sugar level and less ice. I didn't really see a point for the coffee jelly along with the tapioca, because the coffee jelly didn't really add anything, not even that much flavor. Next time I want to try some of their other special signature drinks as well as the fruit teas. A girl in front of me got the Honeydew Milk Tea and that sounds so good, so want to try that next time!

    Thai tea boba

    I got the Thai tea milk tea with boba. It was very good, although not exactly like the Thai tea I'd get from a restaurant. Overall, ViVi has many options to choose from and seems like a good boba chain. The location in midtown Manhattan is clean and the staff is fast.

    Came here because the hubby wanted some bubble tea. The place ha da great menu selection and was very inviting when you come in. The people were kind and patient. I love bubble tea a lot and had high expectations for this place. But, when we received our bubble tea it was not very flavorful as we had hoped. Hopefully they can up their game for when we come back to the city.

    Drink is good. Not a good price, but flavor is always good. Usually the staff is cold but this time I had a girl who smiled and was simple. That is nice enough, and felt like a better experience. Ambiance is okay, a little too small to stay and chill. I love the Taiwanese sausages and the lychee tea with chia seeds. Lunch special weekdays before 3, and student discount can not be applied together. 4/5

    What a vivi imagination
    Fox E.

    So if you drink a little too much Vivi As in, if you drink as much as Me-me You'll say within a minute "Where's the bathroom", then be in it As you desperately expel your pee-pee. (and if so, you'll have to go to Sbux across the street) Very friendly and very busy Vivi store right in the middle of Midtown Manhattan, where things are kind of crazy, but in a good way - unless you want the bathroom. I came here on a very rainy day a few months ago, and was happy that even in a rude area of a rude-ish town, they were nice to me as I took refuge in here from the downpour. They don't have a bathroom but then neither does your mother. I would know. And of course it's owned by Vivi-an Leigh, and Vivi-n Diesel. A popular chain in various spots of the USA, and this particular location is a stall in a mall, of sorts. Their fruit tea options are actually not bad at all. I'm a fan and I appreciate that. I'm not a big fan of the milk tea but then I'm not a big fan of your mother with her clothes on. Besides, the locations that make Brown Sugar Milk Tea make it actually really goodlyishly. And my fave drinks here include Grapefruit Black Tea and the Mixed Fruit Tea which actually doesn't have any tea in it, but is still yum. Now let's finish with some rap: If you are the lock, I have the KEY-VI If you're Anthony Kaedis, I am the FLEA-VI And unlike freedom, this isn't the FREE-VI So try the mixed fruit drink here at VIVI If you are Edam, I'll be the BRIE-VI If you're the princess, I must be the PEA-VI If you want sausage, you know I'll bring the D-VI But if you want fruit tea, come and try VIVI I ran here so fast, I blew out the KNEE-VI It hurt so bad, like the EMERGENCY-VI But I said no, don't call the EMT-VI Cause first I want some yummy fruit tea from VIVI

    The best bubble tea in NYC You can walk in and order the usual. It tastes milky, refreshing, and not too sweet. The tapioca balls are a little soft, but still delicious.

    Very interesting and delicious
    Angela L.

    Interesting flavors of bubble tea. Definitely have your typical flavors but also have atypical ones too like taro with crème brûlée. This is what I tried and it was so out there but in a good way. On the top, it was layered with this creamy substance that had a bit of a salty taste to it. I got it with tapioca and I do recommend it. I want to try some of the other eccentric flavors that they have here. If you are a student bring your student ID card and you get a discount.

    Is the bubble tea here non dairy? What kind of milk do they use?

    They say they have non-dairy powder, but will not confirm ingredients/brand. Most people have no idea that "non-dairy" powders contain animal products/proteins and are NOT vegan. I think "dairy" is a term that means the entire "milk" as a product,… Read more

    A Chelsea Market staple!…read more I came to NYC in 2021 and tried this place for the first time all those years ago. I'm happy to report that it was even better than I remembered! Very Fresh Noodles specializes in biangbiang (hand pulled) noodles. We got the Tingly & Spicy Cumin Lamb (Dry). It featured their signature biangbiang noodles seasoned with cumin, peppercorn, and their housemade chili oil. It's served with celery, cabbage, and tonsss of cilantro. SO GOOD! It was slurped up in minutes. The spice is mala spice, so it's a little numbing, tingly, and hurts just a bit in the best way. It definitely grows, so have a beverage on hand. The chewy noodles, spicy seasonings, and tender lamb made this dish unforgettable. Pro-tip: You can get it either dry (tossed in the sauce) or soupy!

    The wait time was pretty fast so no complaints there, it was also nice to watch them make the…read morenoodles through the window. There's limited seating though so we got our food and sat at the general seating that the market had. As for the food, I heard raving reviews about this specific noodle place and was really excited to try it out! The noodles themselves were a nice texture and chewy. I was a bit disappointed overall because it was sooo salty. I usually like salty food, but the beef was way over salty to the point where I couldn't finish the dish. It's good for tourists in New York, but if I lived in the area I wouldn't revisit. Maybe I just got a bad batch :(

    I've had beef noodle soup in various parts of the US and have even had it in Taiwan…read more And I dare I say, 886 has the best beef noodle soup I've ever had. It's been weeks and I'm still thinking about the broth. It had levels of complexity and paired up with fresh noodles and tender beef that melted in your mouth, yeah, there's a reason I'm still thinking about it! I went with a friend who had never had Taiwanese food and I'm a bit sad that 886 was the first experience for her because other places after this are going to be a let down. We split the beef noodle soup, Taiwanese fried chicken and scallion pancake beef wrap. The chicken was also perfection served with an in house honey chili crisp sauce. The scallion pancake beef wrap was good but in a purist who likes scallion pancake on its own. Even though it's easy village and not Chinatown, visit this place, it is worth the visit!!! I can't wait to visit their sister restaurant in Brooklyn one day! 谢谢!

    Was extremely disappointed in the lack of flavor here. most reviews detail how good the beef noodle…read moresoup is, but I found it to be extremely bland. I paid extra for more meat, which was a solid choice. it did not, however, make up for the lack of flavor. chew of the noodles was great, though. the only decent item my friend and I had here was the popcorn chicken. super fresh, steaming hot, crispy, and loads of flavor. I would come back here again just for that. ambiance is nice -- solid lighting and fun art around. tables are inches apart so you will definitely hear and be sat right next to others. workers were slightly rude, the restaurant seems to be run by girls in their early 20s/teens. I'm sure the food is more authentic and service is more quality elsewhere.

    I went to this casual Taiwanese spot a while back with a group. The food here was overall tasty…read morewith the best thing being definitely the spicy beef & tendon noodle soup along with the braised beef with noodles which makes sense as it's a Taiwanese beef noodle spot. The rest of the dishes were still pretty tasty with a notable unique version of dan dan noodles. I didn't have a drink and I don't think anyone else did. Service was fine and the place is very casual. On a side note, I got a Tea Egg and I wouldn't really recommend it much as it lacked the flavor of most tea eggs. The first thing that arrived was one of the appetizers the Assorted Cold Dish with jade cucumber, black fungus in vinegar sauce, and spiced edamame. The portion was fine and they had a mixture of crunch and textures. It would be good to share though my preference of the mixtures was the Assorted Luwei with tofu, kelp knots, and boiled eggs. Referring to dishes braised in soy sauce, I particularly liked the kelp due to it's crunchy yet soft texture with the strips of tofu also being very tasty while the eggs as per the tea egg prior were alright. We also got as an appetizer the Spicy Braised Pig's Ear. A bunch of the other people at the table didn't really like this but I liked the texture mostly because I'm a fan of tendon and cartilage and this has that crunchy but soft texture almost like a crunchy jello. This spice was on the lighter end but it still had a little bit of heat. There was also the Seasonal Greens which were pretty tasty though not as necessary as most of the greens were included in the other dishes such as the pork chops and soups. There was also the Popcorn Chicken which had the usual white pepper and slight sweetness I associate with this version and it was solid and warm (though I wouldn't recommend it to go.) Overall, the appetizers were good but they aren't the star of this place. Best of the main dishes was as noted the Spicy Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup. Both the beef and the tendon in there were super tender. The noodles had the QQ texture I'd expect from a good Taiwanese spot. I have had richer beef noodle soups before but it was still well flavored and the bit of spice in there was a nice extra kick. A bit spicier by comparison was the Dan Dan Noodles which I was a bit surprised to see on the menu. They were prepared differently from the dan dan mein from other spots; more like a soupier noodle. By comparison to the beef/tendon noodle soup, it was more Sichuan peppercorn and spicier by comparison. Both were tasty with a slight preference to the former due to the different types of beef and I liked tasting the soup a bit better. We also got the Braised Beef With Noodles which is offered over rice or with noodles. Due to the great noodle texture, we got it over noodles of course. The beef again was tasty though I preferred it as a noodle soup. It was still good and I would order it on a different day. Our only non noodle dish was the Fried Pork Chops With Rice which was fine. The pork chops have the usual white pepper and light sweetness you find in this style though it was a bit chewy. Outside of the pork and rice, there was also some cucumbers and it came with half a boiled egg. This was as expected alright but I would recommend getting noodles as it's definitely their specialty.

    Actually surprisingly great! Surprising because there was nobody sitting inside on a Saturday…read morenight at 7, although they seemed to be doing a thriving take out business! We ordered two orders of cold cucumbers, an order of wood ear mushrooms and two braised eggs before our mains arrived. For mains we shared a beef and noodle soup, a pork bun and a wrap where the rap seemed to be a scallion pancake, NICE!
