To their credit, they have a lot of business here and they churn out those drinks quickly. There were a lot of people here, mostly waiting for their drinks. They have the brown sugar boba series, so I went for the Brown Sugar Boba Milk. I took it back to the hotel to drink and it went by quickly (get the large size I guess). Thing is for me, it's immensely sweet. Like insanely sweet. (I guess that's good because you get to taste the brown sugar?) so I would guess next time I would get it as half sweet if that's possible. The milk tea in itself tasted just alright haha. Their boba is pretty good though - comes out piping hot and chewy. Price for one of the drinks is $30HKD.

So as I was waiting for my family members shopping at iSquare I decided to wait in line and give it a go. We ordered the Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk (you can only get 2 of these/person) since this was the most popular drink I decided to order it. Once I started to drink it, it literally tasted like regular milk but it wasn't anything amazing. (I have yet to taste China's/HK's milk but MAYBE this milk taste better than the other milks they're selling?) the tapioca was average. Anyway waited in line for about 30 minutes for a cup of milk with tapioca, not worth it sorry T^T

I am never one to wait in a line (life is short and I choose to not wait in lines), but by rare chance this weekend, we walked by and there was barely a line. When I asked my Chinese husband why this brand was so popular, he said that they are no more expensive than other bubble tea spots, but they use a better tea. Our tea drink cost $18HKD, plus an extra $4HKD for our pearl add on. You place your order from the street counter from their extensive menu, pay and then wait for your number to be called (they did request to see the receipt when we grabbed your drink, so be sure to not throw away or anything before you snag your beverage). The menu is in Chinese and English, it is clear to understand your options and you can always add pearls to any drink that might not already have them. Some drinks served with ice, others are not. We shared the lemon premium jasmine green teat (and added pearls) from the "suggested menu." It tasted like a really satisfying lemon shake-up (my Midwestern roots are showing!). Sweet, satsifying, very delicious. I also loved that it is served in a paper versus a plastic cup. An environmentally friendly niche can make someone like me more loyal to one brand over another. The shop is fronted by glass, so you can see the dozen or so employees almost surgically preparing the tea drinks. There were maybe 15 people mulling about ordering and waiting like us and it took maybe 8-10 minutes for us to get our drink. Not certain I would wait with the masses when they are super busy, but I will definately snag one on the times I see there is little to no line.

I don't generally think much of restaurants connected to malls; chains chains chains and nothing…read morespecial is what comes to mind. But when a person of Chinese/Taiwanese descent who loves to eat is roaming around HK? Everything looks amazing. My travel partner and I decided to try this place because... well? it was busy. SUPER BUSY. At least 15-20 people waiting outside while other restaurants sat mostly empty. Plus, I couldn't really go by my usual rating system for an Asian restaurant (e.g., the ratio of Asian to non-Asian folks eating inside) since pretty much EVERYONE was Asian. I ordered the beef noodle soup because it's a familiar staple. The noodles were clearly not from a box and tasted pretty fresh, with a bit of a bite/chew to them. The beef was tender, and the broth was flavorful. I wish it had more veggies though! I also ordered a royal milk boba tea because I wanted one, ok? It was fresh, delicately flavored, and the boba had great consistency. I also loved that I didn't have to order it half sweet like I prefer in the USA. I wish the system to ask for a table was a bit more user friendly for folks who do not speak/read Chinese. There is a computer/touch screen outside where you are supposed to enter in the number of people in your party. I had to ask for help and the waitress pushed some buttons and handed me a slip of paper. From the little I do read, I was able to deduce that you are assigned to a letter (A, B, C, D) which indicates the table top size you requested (1-2 ppl, 3-4 ppl, etc) and you have to watch the screen for your letter number combo on your slip of paper to be called. If I were in HK again, and shopping in Langham, I would not hesitate to eat here again!!

I always prefer a wait after ordering food and drinks to begin with. It hopefully means they are crating something good and here, they don't disappoint.

I can't imagine anybody riding the MTR just…read moreto get to this Gong Cha, especially with all the different locations splattered around Hong Kong. But there is a location all the way here, I'm guessing for convenience! With the shopping outlet just around the corner and the buses that lead you to different destination spots in Hong Kong, Gong Cha is sure to lure you to buy a drink, especially since the drinks are quickly made, everything's fairly cheap, and the drinks are always on point. After exiting the MTR and making a right, you'll see the small Gong Cha storefront. There are signs plastered all over the windows that advertise their top bestselling drinks, but everybody seemed to be ordering a regular boba milk tea, so I followed their lead. Yep, the best boba milk tea I've had during my trip to Asia. Comparing to Coco's in Taiwan, Gong Cha's milk tea was stronger and more flavorful, coming very close to Half and Half's boba milk tea back in the States. I feel like all the tea drinks I've had in Asia (with the exception of China) were smooth, and this was no exception. Milk tea was smooth and flavorful, boba was cooked perfectly and retained the chewy quality. Only minor complaint is that they don't have mini pearls. And of course you're able to adjust the sugar and ice levels. I almost always ask for less ice. Overall, a solid tea place. Super handy if you're on the way to the outlets and want to get something to drink. There are definitely busy times - when school ends, when there's a rush of customers who just got off the MTR, etc. - but the workers are pretty fast and you'll get your drink within a few minutes.

It has a big bamboo containers filled with fortune sticks. The idea is to pick a stick randomly from the container and get a paper from the drawers according to the number on the stick in order to see your fortune. I ordered the black sugar milk with boba. The wait was quite a while because they really focus on making each cup perfect, which I really respect because they care about quality control. It's pretty cool that they also flame torched the drink to create a caramelized texture on top. The drink itself is a bit sweet to me at first, however, the milk balanced it out well. I also think that the boba is too soft...they might've overcooked it. Don't think I'd be back anytime soon because of the wait and the price ($30 HKD), but overall had a great time drinking this!
