4.3 and rounded up! It's hard to say no here, because their bubbles are so good! As one of many bubble/boba (波霸奶茶) milk tea chains that have emigrated stateside from Taiwan (original birthplace of boba), Xing Fu Tang hails from has 5 locations in the New York boroughs area, 4 in Midtown and 1 in Flushing. Their signature fresh boba is what makes their bubble tea stand out from the rest--the "bubbles" are made from cassava starch otherwise known as tapioca pearls or balls--soaked then cooked and sweetened in a brown sugar syrup. Here they have a whole wok full of these, and they're super soft, incredibly chewy and bouncy, on the sweeter side compared to some other chains, but not too cloyingly so. Their menu consists of a number of a bubble tea and coffee drinks, mostly with milk though some without, you have an option of regular milk, lactaid milk (+$0.50) or oatmilk (+$1.00). Two sizes regular or large (+$2.00) and add-ins for +$0.50 more of the following: Brown Sugar Boba Strawberry Boba Taro Boba Honey Jelly Herbal Jelly Milk Foam Matcha Shot (+$1.00) I got their regular brown sugar boba and it was a treat! Like I mentioned above, the bubbles are sooo good! Prices are on the higher side $7.99 for a regular size, it made me really miss the days of $3.75 regular-sized drinks! After ordering it took about 7-8 minutes to be ready considering the store was really busy. Note: the brown sugar boba milk tea is where they line the cup with brown sugar syrup in addition to adding boba. Technically their standard boba milk tea is without the additional sugar syrup but since the boba are already cooked in brown sugar, there's no true option of getting unflavored boba without brown sugar. Like most boba stores in NYC, the shop isn't very big, just enough space for a small line to form for ordering and then waiting to pick up drinks. All customers are taking these to go, there's no room or seats to linger. read more

5/5 milk tea boba soft serve $7.50- always amazing, just wish the boba was less sweet, very chewy boba 3/5 matcha strawberry boba $8.49 - decent but felt like the ration might've been a bit off 2/5 lychee rose refresher $7.50- didn't expect a carbonated drink, the rose flavor & fragrance was off, might've been too strong, needs more lychee read more

I visited this place three days in a row! Their bobas are made fresh and cooked with brown sugar, right by the store front so you can watch how they make them. The texture was right amount of chewy. I ordered their signature brown sugar milk, brown sugar milk tea and dalgona coffee boba milk. The brown sugar boba milk tea was my favorite. I'd love to keep going back but it's probably not good for my waistline and wallet. A small boba drink is $7.99 plus taxes! read more

I can't recall the last time I've tried Xing fu Tang but I do appreciate the lactaid option. Absolutely loved the brown sugar boba milk. It was delicious. No sugar options to choose from but it didn't seem too sweet. They offer a bag for easier transport which was convenient since I was leaving work. Looking forward to coming back and trying other menu options. read more

Been to all the locations besides flushing and finally had a chance to come by! I can finally say for boba (pearl drinks) this place makes the freshest ones to date. I'm still working my way down all the drinks on the menu, upon entering and ordering, the drinks came out pretty quick. today I got the Thai milk tea boba, a very refreshing taste, the right amount of sweetness with the chewy yet melt in mouth pearls go well in combination, worth trying. read more

The oolong milk tea was delicious and fragrant. I typically do less sugar for sweetness level when I get boba, but for this shop I probably could have gone with regular sweetness and it'd be perfect. The boba was so soft and chewy and you could watch them prepare the pearls in front of you. Staff were super friendly in taking orders and though there was a line, our drinks were prepared quickly. Reasonable prices for the quality! read more

This place used to have my heart, but not anymore. The staff really lack communication skills. I ordered chrysanthemum tea ahead through the FanTuan app for pickup, and when I arrived at the time the app said my order was ready, it still wasn't done. When it was finally finished, they didn't even bother to call my number--the drink just sat there on the counter waiting until I asked for it. This happened two days in a row. I understand the shop is bit busy, the line is long but with so many staff members around, you'd think they'd be more attentive. Instead, they seem more interested in chatting with each other than helping customers. In NYC, everyone's time is valuable--please respect that. read more

This place seems pretty solid overall! Hard to tell off of one drink, but the tapioca boba itself was easily some of the best I've ever had. Warn, gooey, sweet and perfect! The dalgona (coffee whip) was not very unfortunately was not good, but it didn't ruin the experience and I'm also picky when it comes to coffee! I loved that the drink itself wasn't very sweet, so it balanced nicely with the boba. I would come back! read more

I call upon bubble tea to summons comfort and healing. The only tea enticing my senses was Jasmine lemonade green tea with honeycomb $6.66. Xing Fu Tang have my default topping Chinese herbal grass jelly 涼粉 (loeng4 fan2, liang2 fen3) listed on their menu which lured my visit. My drink was full of lime, honey and herbal grass jelly. I actually taste honey and the flavor of jasmine. Customer service is attentive to explain the less sugar content. Do not expect there to be any seating. Napkins embedded with their name and logo for branding are available for grabs. The wall is adorned with Chinese hand calligraphy with the traditional red seal stamp - beautiful. As I waited for my order to be fulfilled I took one fortune. It is very easy to obtain. This Chinese fortune sticks (Kau chim 求籤) from flat sticks inscribed with text or numerals in a Buddhist temple. It evoke memories of my beloved family member who treks to a Buddhist temple obtaining annual fortunes for our family prior to Lunar New Year. Xing Fu Tang is located on Main Street and very assessable via MTA NYC Transit buses and 7 train in Flushing, Queens, NYC. read more

Came here more than a handful of times and finally got to try their signature- caramelized flamed-torched brown sugar bubble milk, it's like the Hermès of bubble tea, you can even get it topped with gold foil for $20 smh. I've tried a few of their fruit-based tea drinks and taro bubble milk- they were all pretty solid. This place is always busy from opening to close so expect to wait awhile- worth it tho. I can understand why my son & ppl love this place- it's that brown sugar bubble milk drink- sooo good!! Creamy, sweet, tapioca pearls were tasty and very filling too. Now everytime I'm in Flushing, I have to get it :) read more

Everytime I'm here it seems like the staff always change it and take awhile to make the drinks. Even after they make the drinks, it is just sitting there until someone realizes they never called our order. The drinks are good but they are smaller side and pricier than competitors like Tiger Sugar. The store is quite small considering it is always packed. I will saying I really like playing the fortune game it makes my wait more bearable. read more

This is hands down my favorite bubble tea shop for brown sugar bubble tea. They make the bubbles right in front of you, stirring them in with brown sugar in a big pan in the front of the store with the glass windows. They also offer ice cream which I have had several times - the soft serve brown sugar bubble tea. I have also had the pleasure of trying their Dalgona coffee bubble tea - highly recommend! It had the perfect texture and just the right amount of sweetness. It helped give me the right amount of energy without making me jittery. Everything I have tried from them, including the non brown sugar bubble teas like the lighter lemonade flavors over the summer, has been phenomenal! The brown sugar bubbles are truly the star of the show here. The service is pretty fast! There is also a fortune telling area in the back where you can get your fortune told by selecting a stock and the correct numbered box. read more

I've been wanting to try Xing Fu Tang for years, but since Flushing is pretty far for me, I never found the time--until this past spring, and I'm so glad I finally did! Xing Fu Tang is a narrow bubble tea shop with long lines that often extend out the door. The place is usually loud and crowded, which can make for a bit of a hectic experience. It took about 10 minutes to reach the cashier, who was super nice and informed me they have non-dairy options, which was great to know. I ordered the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea with oat milk and a regular Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea. Both drinks easily rank in my top five favorite bubble teas ever. The oat milk blended perfectly with the brown sugar and bubbles, while the bubbles themselves were soft, chewy, and freshly made. I only wish they would open a store in Brooklyn! It's so good that I find myself craving it often, but Flushing is just too far for a regular visit. Still, if you're in the area, I highly recommend giving Xing Fu. read more

I didn't get to visit when the hype was at its peak, but I couldn't pass by without reminiscing being jealous at all of my Queens-area friends lining up for their fresh pearls when XFT had just opened. The cauldron of boba stewing in brown sugar was a lot less lackluster than it appeared in the pictures back then. But I could appreciate all of the sweaty workers rolling out new boba pearls, boiling them, and churning them in the sugar on this extremely hot summer day in July. There were so many options that looked tasty, but I opted for the original brown sugar boba. The shop is such an awkward set up. It's so unfortunate that they weren't able to get a bigger store front, as the amount of real estate that goes into just the workstations for the making of the brown sugar boba topping is already equivalent to the size of the whole shop of some other boba tea places. The drink itself was fine. The boba was extremely soft but not mushy, and I can see why they would stick to the tedious work of rolling out fresh pearls inside the store. The milk was just regular. I think most people are coming to get the taste of the fresh brown sugar boba. The soft serve was selling like hotcakes because it was so hot outside. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this specific location, but definitely would try more if I am ever in the area again! read more

My boyfriend and I always walk by this place so we finally decided to check it out. We got two large drinks that totaled to $18. I got their brown sugar milk tea and he got the oolong milk tea. I know they are known for their brown sugar milk tea but we actually enjoyed their oolong best. The brown sugar wasn't as sweet and the random bits of burnt sugar (very creme brulee like) was not my favorite, and it overall tasted like plain milk if that makes sense. Oolong had a nice tea flavor and tasted better balanced. The pearls in both drinks had the perfect "qq" texture though. Interior is really small but down the hall has a cute fortune wall you can do while you wait for drinks. Overall the drinks were okay, not bad but not great either. read more

My Taiwanese friend recommended Xing Fu Tang so I ordered the grapefruit tea with grass jelly. It was a block of Grass jelly and difficult for it to go up the straw. I then realized I had to break up the jelly and then, sip the beverage and jelly through the straw. I'd order this beverage again, and try the brown sugar sago or is it called boba. read more

I get my milk tea with no added sugar here and it's perfect with the brown sugar boba! Really nice brown sugar flavor.

Xing fu tang is a notable boba chain which is quickly expanding in NYC. They're very well known for their brown sugar bubble milk tea which is usually my go to. However this time around, I decided to try out one of their fruity drinks and went for the green grape aloetini drink. This drink comes with aloe bits. Overall, refreshing and definitely could taste that they use quality tea. The one thing I'd say I dislike is the fact that a size upgrade is $2 which seems very steep. The prices of the medium drinks aren't cheap either with most of them costing at least $7. I'd say it's definitely on the pricier side for the size of the drink. They were also doing a cute promotion where if you buy a drink you can get a free snoopy patch which I thought was so fun. Service was nice and we got our drink very quickly after placing our order. This place seems more like a grab and go as the interior is quite small. Would come back to try their other drinks another time! read more

Xing Fu Tang - Brown sugar signature boba tea. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Flushing, New York

Ever since this place first opened up in Flushing I've been meaning to try it out. I had really high hopes for their signature brown sugar drink. It's cherry blossom season so the drink came in a cup that had small cherry blossoms all over it. It's so pretty! In the corner of the store, there were giant sticks you can draw and then open the drawer with the matching number to get your "fortune". It seemed like all fortunes were bubble tea themed which was cute. I drank it a couple of hours later after putting it in the fridge. It was a good drink but I prefer Tiger Sugar's version more. The bubbles were soft and chewy probably because it's made fresh daily but the brown sugar flavor wasn't as strong as I had thought it would be. I did like the tiny crumbs of brown sugar that were mixed in with the drink, it added a nice crunch to the chewy boba. read more

Busy! Always a hot spot. Taiwanese Milk Tea with the freshest boba! Their Signature Brown Sugar Milk Tea HITS! Made with Organic Whole Milk - and not any powdery junk, there's a reason why it costs what it does. Service, unlike much of downtown Flushing hot spots, is actually always really great. The staff are always helpful and patient with any questions, and work efficiently at turning out all the many creations. We also love the Strawberry Boba with real strawberries, the Lime Ade, and the Soft Serve. Just when you think we can't possibly have anymore "bubble" tea joints - voila! Taiwan's very own Xing Fu stands out among the rest. read more

This is my go to bubble tea spot when we go visit Flushing. They make the bubbles fresh in the store and it's fun for the kids to watch while they wait for their bubble tea. The boba is chewy and well made. We usually get the brown sugar boba & boba milk tea and they never disappoint. There is usually a line but it goes pretty quick. They also have fortune sticks in the back where you pick a stick and find the number on the little boxes to get your fortune. It adds some fun to the atmosphere while you get your bubble tea. read more

This store came from Taiwan, where it was highly rated and popular. Glad to see it also in NYC. The inside was clean and the line moved quickly. Got the boba milk tea, which was delicious! Of note, it's not a cheap drink - almost $10 since it's a large size (+$2) and ice free (+$0.50). The bobbas are flavorful but too soft. There are fortunately other places with cheaper options but comparable if not better quality, so won't be coming by again. read more

On our NY getaway, we were eating in the area and wanted some boba, walked past here and saw a line so we hopped in thinking it's gotta be good right? We don't have one back home so we decided to try and I'm glad we did. It was memorable. You walk to the back where the register is and put in your order then line up walking towards the front to pick up your drink. The black tea was flavorful, the boba was bouncy chewy and fresh. The drink was memorable and i would def come back next time I'm in flushing enjoyed it a lot. The place was cute, had stickers and other little promo stuff that people like.

10/10!! I enjoyed my experience at this boba spot from beginning to end. I went around mid-day and it was not too busy. Granted, it was pretty cold outside but I still recommend checking out this place. The boba/tapioca is made in the front of the shop and it shows with their quality. The boba was soft, chewy, and fresh. When I say fresh, it was pretty warm/hot. It complimented the soft serve well. The ice cream was a good balance and flavor too. It was not over powering or sweet. I'm planning to go back again or their other locations Check this boba shop out. read more

Xing Fu Tang is considered the gold standard of bubble tea these days (as well as a Taiwanese national treasure). It makes sense when you see them making the tapioca right in front of you through the glass window, and it actually comes out warm, which is a nice contrast with an iced bubble tea. This may be heresy to some, but I think I actually prefer Tiger Sugar's brown sugar bubble tea. But definitely worth trying XFT for the experience, and the tapioca itself is amazing. read more

Eh - not sure what happened, Xing Fu Tang, but the quality of this place has gone down drastically. With the number of staff preparing the drinks, I think they're unable to keep up with the demand as the drinks are just prepared haphazardly, and you can really tell by the taste. We came to pick up several drinks to go: +Lime Green Tea - had a weird taste and super watered down; tasted more like syrup water and not at all refreshing; can't really taste any of the citrus +Grapefruit Green Tea - had a weird taste and super watered down; tasted more like syrup water and not at all refreshing; can't really taste any of the citrus +Strawberry Boba Milk - these had strawberry boba; tasted like a good version of strawberry milk +Brown Sugar Boba Milk - these had the fresh brown sugar boba, which were still tasty; the drink itself was mostly milk, though, and not enough of the brown sugar flavor The line gets long, but moves along; note that you are also competing with online orders as well. The place isn't really well-ventilated, even though they do have an air system in the ceiling; the place is narrow and tight, and it's only to-go only. No seatings are available. +avoid the fruit teas +freshly made brown sugar tapioca read more

Should have stuck with not trying but the curiosity got the best of me. I ordered their smaller sized Strawberry Boba Milk ($7.25) and maybe what ruined it was when I asked for Less Sugar. But the drink just tasted so watered down, like a Starbucks Pink Drink refresher than milk. The bubbles had little strawberry seeds infused, so that at least was cool to try. Their bubbles were also very chewy! But not hard. For the price, I am very content with trying this just once. read more
