My drink was suuuper good, my only problem is the straw. They have these cheap made straws that don’t really poke the hole in the top too good. Took me 4 tries and on one of the tries my car was splashed from the drink because I kept trying to do it. Other than that drink is pretty good, price is reasonable for boba. But I’m not gonna come back, the straw really killed the experience

Gong Cha makes my favorite strawberry milk tea. It has real strawberry bits in it, which can be hard to come across. Good blend of flavor. Boba pearls are always nice and chewyLove how you can adjust ice level and sweetness. I recommend 25% ice for the hot SoCal sun and 30% if you don't like things too sweet. I've also tried their Taro Milk Tea and QQ Passionfruit Tea, both also good. Nothing tastes powdery here. Store is pretty small, it can get backed up on the weekends. Recommend going here on random weekday afternoons and nights instead. Workers are usually nice and happy to answer questions about the menu.

It's what you would expect from a chain store. They seem to use syrups. There's other boba shops in Irvine that serve better tea for a better price.

In a shopping center that also has an Orobae and an Omomo across the street, competition for the best boba tea shop is tough. Gong Cha wins for me as being a Taiwanese chain helps bring it closer to the original taste of Taiwan Bubble Tea. Plus, you’ll never have to wait in incredibly long lines compared to Orobae or Omomo as the service is incredibly evening during peak hours.

There's a reason the lines at Orobae and Omomo are so long even though there's a Gong Cha just a few minutes' walk away in the same plaza. This place is a nice option if you're in a hurry or don't want to wait in line for so long, but I've had better quality Gong Cha elsewhere.

Gong cha is a tried and true boba shop. You know to expect quality. It's located in heritage plaza and is good enough to not wait in the long line of the new boba shop that recently opened nearby. This one is a little small with only a few tables inside but the staff is always friendly each time I come.The boba is fresh and tea flavorful. Their menu is quite extensive but all of the ones we tried have been good.

So delicious! It was my first time trying this specific location and the drinks were way better! My friends and I all got a green tea with milk foam! We waited less than 5 minutes for our drink and the store was quite busy that day! There's not many seating inside the store and plenty of parking in this plaza!
They aren’t excepting cash ???? THIS IS AMERICA IF IM NOT MISTAKEN?!? & ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD EXCEPTS ? BUT IRVINE CA TRY AGAIN !

extremely quick service and very friendly staff! I went in and out extremely quickly with my order while experiencing a nice atmosphere for a small boba shop, and my few interactions with the employee (Erin) who helped me were all very good! She made my drink just how I liked it, and it was overall extremely refreshing after a long day of sitting and watching a screen. Although the location of the store doesn't stand out too much among the plaza, I highly recommend checking it out!

Pros: decent boba, doesn't have the long lines of Orobae or OmomoCons: is not Orobae or Omomo

Good boba. Just the right amount of chewy. Star jelly tastes like peach. Tea is flavorful. My time is more valuable than a line at other places. Go here.
