“I was never a big fan of bubble tea until I stopped into Boba Land. The staff was really friendly and even asked me what I'm into to recommend me some bubble tea flavors. I was actually impressed on how good the teas were. I'd definitely recommend!!“
“I was visiting my brother and sister in law whom live in Palisades Park. This Gong Cha was about a 7 minute walk from their home so location is great! I've had the pleasure of trying Gong Cha bubble tea in various locations, including Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York, Seattle, California, and Toronto. Regardless of the city, Gong Cha consistently delivers a delightful bubble tea experience.Gong Cha's extensive menu offers a wide range of flavors, from classic milk teas to innovative fruit teas.Have been to this location in particular before and will return to any that's nearby !“
“My friend and I came here, it was a very nice place.I ordered the matcha with cheese foam.My friend ordered coconut milk with mango pudding，both of them were good，The refreshing taste is very suitable for summer. There are many choies, strongly recommend this place, we will definitely come back!“
“Yum yum yummm. As a Taiwanese person, I loveeee the basil mayo sauce with the large popcorn chicken. It’s a total delight after a long workout at the climbing gym too. I also reccomend the ru rou fan (marinated pork) on a bed of rice a with half an egg and scallions“
“I visited during the grand opening special and ordered a bubble tea and a taro bubble tea! I think both tasted good, nothing special, but I did like the chewy texture of the boba! I also thought the staff were very welcoming and nice! They gave me a boba plushy keychain and a donut as part of their promotion! The space is a bit small inside but has a few stools to sit! This is a great addition to the bubble tea options in this area!“
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“
“I tried the Wintermelon Milk w/ Boba and the Peach Yakult w/ Lychee Jelly (as provided on the Staff Reccs Menu) and they were both amazing— Personally like the Wintermelon one more because I wanted something with milk but both were great.The staff were exceptional and overheard that my girlfiend and I had never really tried Wintermelon before, and they jumped to give us a sample of the tea. First off, amazing to see that there were no added sugars and that all the components of their drinks were individually perfected.We ended up ordering and got our drinks pretty quickly, but while we waited one of the staff members offered us a sample of their pudding topping. It was great to try and extremely kind of the staff to offer, especially because there was no incentive for them to do so as we had already ordered.You can tell that the staff really care about making a great business. They haven’t been open for too long, and I hope they receive lots of support so I can go back and try more of the drinks they have to offer.In terms of seating, they don’t offer any, but you can easily walk around the area and find some or walk while drinking.You can also get a stamp card to get a discount on your tenth return!TLDR: Amazing drinks, not too sweet, very refreshing. A great pick me up. Relatively not the cheapest but it’s some of the best you’re getting, especially in Manhattan. Definitely something to try. Staff are amazing and will let you try samples.Kid-friendliness: Amazing Environment“
“Went to Pata Cafe for lunch in Elmhurst, Queens, NY. Looking for authentic Thai? You'll find dishes here that are hard to find in the ??. NY Times and Michelin recommended for casual authentic Thai fare.Had Thai Lychee tea and Yum Woon Sen. Sweet and complex flavor for the tea. Spicy, tangy, earthy, and herby flavors for the dish. Too full for dessert! The wife had the beef soup.Only seats 12 people max. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of free street parking on a Saturday. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Most dishes dairy freeParking: Found parking right in front immediately on a Saturday for lunch“
“Came in last night around 7:30pm. The girl taking my order seem like she didn’t want to be there and not the friendliest. I was a bit intimated and shy to order more as she seemed annoyed the more the I ordered. The girl bringing my food out was lovely! Made sure I was satisfied with my food, and named every dish as it came out & overall very upbeat. I didn’t grab her name but she & beef noodle made my experience lovely!!“
“I work 12 hour shifts near here and I’m always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I’ve tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. ??“
“Top mochi doughnuts, with beautiful texture and flavor, our favorite was the ube (not too sweet hehe) and the taro boba oat milk latte was so good i ordered a second one. Nice clean spot to hang out and have a sweet treat.Super appreciate the non dairy options too as lactose and i are currently frenemies.“
“I tried two flavors: the Dominican Vanilla + Coconut. It was AMAZING.The place is clean. Staff is friendly.The two (2) complaints that take away a star:Definitely coming back here, but not as often as I would like, because it’s kinda pricey. $30 for two (2) scoops on a cone; and 2 midsized cups.Employees need to wear restaurant caps to cover their heads when serving; specially while styling long/braided hair. I mean: I don’t want that stuff on my food.Kindly work on those, and I would consider adding the 5th STAR.“
“First, the owners that run this place are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I ordered a noodle bowl with marinated tofu and veggies, it was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back soon, I got my eye on them baos..“
“Great little spot for anytime of the day. The inside is welcoming and bright. Beautifully decorated and has a few seats to sit down and relax and enjoy your treats. There’s also a little nook that has some books to enjoy while sipping on your delicious beverage.The staff was friendly and efficient.Can’t wait to return and try some waffles and other drinks.“
“I absolutely love this place and then I walked in. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and very knowledgeable, and each Tea that they produce. I was so surprised as to how many options they have in the store. I ordered the raspberry tea with Boba. Thank you for your help and the experience that I deserved . I am absolutely grateful and I will be coming back a lot often“
“I stopped by because the posters on the outside drew me in. It's a small and cutely decorated boba and ice cream shop. There was only 1 person working at the time but I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Since it's small, there are not many places to sit, so most people do to-go orders. I ordered an item from each category: * Grapefruit Green Tea Boba - 9/10 - I liked the grapefruit pulp that was mixed into the boba, because of the different textures. The 50% sugar was the perfect amount of sweetness. * Almond Chocolate Croffle - 7/10 - The croffle tasted a bit stale and it was cold, so I don't think they make it fresh. But, I did like the toppings. * Lychee Rose Ice Cream - 8/10 - I liked the small pieces of lychee throughout the ice cream and the rose flavor was not overbearing. Overall, I would come again to try the boba floats. I think they shine more for their drinks than anything else.“
“It's a cozy, atmospheric place. The service is great and pleasant. Very welcoming vibe and cozy place to sit and enjoy. Staffs are polite and doesn't feel rushed like other places. Thai food is always a healthy and great selection of bubble tea.Kid-friendliness: Ambiance is playful with comfortable lighting and seating.“
“Strongly recommend this place. I have been to a lot of bubble tea places in New Jersey and New York City and BTX is definitely the best bubble tea place I have tried so far. I have tried most of the items on their menu and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them.“
“Delicious! Stumbled upon this place when I was searching for a quick bite. I ordered delivery and the food came very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised how big and hefty the bowls were! We got the bulgogi rice bowl and a make your own bowl with fried chicken. Both had generous heaping portions of meat. I would say my appetite is fairly large and I couldn't even finish half of my bowl! The bulgogi was tender and juicy, and the vegetables that came with my bowl were delicious. The make your own bowl was also phenomenal! The cucumber kimchi and pickled turnips were some of my favorites. Definitely adding this place to my regular rotation of meals and I can't wait to have it again!“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
“Tea is great. Kenny will work with you to customize a drink, or make something you dream up, but do yourself a favor and try something from their imaginative and thought-through signature menu.Kenny is a real one. Service with a smile and chill conversation. A natural part of the neighborhood, this place will one day be a local fixture.Beautiful, clean, aesthetic atmosphere in this little space in Chinatown. Nice place to sit and relax on a rainy day or catch some shade and a cool drink in the dog days of summer.“
“I heard about the ASSC collaboration and decided to visit Partea again. I’ve gone a couple of times before and I always get something on my first try! If not, the employees are more than willing to help to guarantee that you walk out with something. I was able to get a couple of the ASSC clothes! Definitely recommend visiting and don’t hesitate to ask for help!“
“I’m a professional cyclist training for the Tour de France. Stopped by Cafe Hasbrouck Heights while I was training. This cafe has the best coffee and waffles by far! This place is so good that I cycle 50 miles every week to get their coffee.“
“This is THE smoothie place to go - hands down!I’ve been to at least 10 smoothie places in NYC (primarily Manhattan) and never been more satisfied with the drink or service than here. Honestly no other smoothie places can compare. I can order my drink within the moment I step inside (the workers are highly attentive to customers) and wait less than 5 minutes until my smoothie’s been made.Very smooth, no chunks, absolutely addictively delicious. My top choice is always the Lychee Valentine, followed by Avomazing or Smooth Avocado, but you really cannot go wrong with any of their choices.“
“Could not have been a better experience. Victor (I believe his name is) greeeted is and wished us a Happy Holiday. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly Donburi and the Ebi Tama Donburi and absolutely loved both of them. The pork belly was tender and succulent, a wonderful combo with the rice and greens. The Ebi Taka was shrimp tempura along with egg and rice. Both of the portions were large! I had the chocolate boba. a perfect balance to the saltier entree. We'll be back!“
“Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around“
“I found this little Vietnamese cafe. I ordered the salad noodle bowl with grilled chicken and a smoothie. I really liked the rice noodle, it’s really fresh and matches well with the sauce. Cafe was spacious with plentiful of seats. I would come back again ?“
Bubble Tea •
“Love the milk teas here! I always get one when I'm at this mall. (I think there was a different bubble tea shop here before but no matter, they're both really good.) Taro or brown sugar milk teas with boba are my usual tried & trues, but I had a lavender milk tea with lychee jelly recently and it's fantastic! The lavender is subtle and the jelly is ambrosial. Sounds like a bizarre combination but it works! They also do fruit teas and slushies. Would love it if they add rose tea in the future. There is only one size and it's large - the cup quality is nice, not the flimsy kind of flexible plastic that are used at so many bubble tea places. I can actually keep it and reuse. Service was quick and very friendly. I didn't get the name of the girl who took my order but she was lovely. The location is on the 1st floor of the hall section connecting the main mall area to Nickelodeon Universe.“
“The owner is super professional and nice to people, all their dishes are authentic from northeast to southwest China. The restaurant decorated warm and beautiful, makes you feel at home dinning room. If you are a MU fan then would get a surprise gift.“
“Bubble Tea-licious is one of the best bubble tea spots in Jersey City. I’m pretty particular about my bubble tea and I just love every sip of the flavorful options they have! The staff is incredibly sweet and the lo-fi music sets the mood for a great study environment. 10/10 would recommend!“
“Want tea around NYU campus? Sip perfection with customized drinks like Unforgivable and Chijito here at Chihiro Tea. Best tea in the neighborhood! Cute, cozy interior, though a bit cramped with students. Don't miss the NYU student discount. A must-visit oasis, especially in steamy summer!“
“Cute little shop hidden away! I got the passion fruit green tea, which was made fresh. The drink was super refreshing and I really like how they use real fruit. The packaging is also so cute and the service was pretty quick. Definitely want to come back to try their other drink flavors and the boba.“
“We moved from Fort Lee to Carlstadt area a year ago and struggled to find good Korean Fried Chicken nearby. Tried this today and it’s delicious! Family owned and very authentic to me. It came with a large serving of Coleslaw for my 20 pcs wing order. Crispy and saucy but doesn’t feel greasy. We will definitely be coming back whenever we want KFC!“

“I got the roasted oolong with the signature foam today and it was excellent. The oolong had excellent flavor and the foam made the drink creamy and paired perfectly with the bold tea flavor. The boba was the perfect texture and sweetness too. This was my ideal boba drink that I’m always hoping for when I get boba. I loved it! The drink was also made in a couple minutes. I had such a great experience!“
“Freshest poke bowl around!! We went here for the first time after hearing great things and loved it. The fish and toppings were extremely fresh, more than most places we’ve been to in the area. We ordered the Salmon Lover bowl and made our own both were great! Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.“
“Pearl Dynastea is so good!! I've tried quite a few menu items but my favorite is the Passion fruit slushy with the popping mango boba and I LOVE it!! Friendly staff, delicious drinks and yummy food! Don't forget to get your Loyalty punch card, buy 9 drinks and get the 10th drink free. This is my 3rd Loyalty Card and Pearl Dynastea drinks never disappoint! I“
“had this originally in Flushing, NY. tried the pineapple tea w nata jelly. very refreshing and the jelly was delicious w a nice crunchy texture.so good that I got it again later in Secaucus, NJ. this time was the peach tea w nata jelly. it was still very delicious!disclaimer, they may be a chain but they each make it differently. the nata jelly in NY was shorter, rectangular shape while NJ is longer, like shaven coconut. both were still amazing. would definitely go again!picture: pineapple tea w nata jelly“
“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“
“Their noodles are freshly made, live, by a real noodle chef. It may look like a Japanese ramen place from outside, given all these shabby and confusing lanterns, but it is actually a really good Chinese noodle restaurant. My personal fav is pulled round noodles, either pan fried or in soups. The noodles are chewy and cooked perfectly. I would say their takeout is not as good as dine-in because the noodles are cooked a bit more being steamed in the container. So if you want to try, please come in-person. I hope this place is here to stay in this neighborhood for the long haul because it doesn't seem to have enough customers.“
“Excellent in all its aspects, the only thing is that the place is a little small, but this does not really matter nor does it affect the quality of their products, the service is very good and fast, especially Annie's attention ?Thai Milk Tea recommended“
“I thought it was wonderful that instead of selling me drinks and walking away the owner asked what my large order was for. He arranged for us to have them delivered instead. They were there and fresh. Everyone loved them.I really appreciate that.“
“Using authentic Korean cooking techniques and the freshest ingredients, Koji Chicken serves up the crispiest and juiciest fried chicken I have ever taste. ??What sets them apart? The super crispy texture that will leave you wanting more! Plus, they offer a variety of mouthwatering sauces to choose from. ???But that’s not all! Koji Chicken is not just about the chicken. They also have refreshing Boba drinks, flavorful rice bowls, Salad and many more tasty options to satisfy your cravings. ???Must-try their Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich. This Vietnamese-style treat features homemade pickled veggies, spicy mayo, and fresh herbs that will tantalize your taste buds! ???Head over to Koji Chicken for a culinary experience like no other. Your taste buds will thank you! ??“
“Great new place that opened recently. Trendy atmosphere, very clean, and the owner is very kind. We ordered a grapefruit ade and a custard + red bean taiyaki. The taiyaki was heavenly, definitely recommend. Homemade batter, not too sweet, delicious filling. Mochi like texture. Definitely coming back!“
“i love fiftylan bubble tea, it is my go-to everytime i am in the area! their class golden bubble milk tea is my usual but their yakults are also delicious!! the only thing i do not like about this place is that it feels as if there is no ventilation in this place and they leave the door closed.“
“I absolutely love this place. I come here once or twice a day. The smoothies are excellent. My favorites are peach’s delight and peanut butter punch. Most times I add some combination of mango, coconut and/or spinach to the peanut butter one. I haven’t tried the juices or açaí bowls yet but I’ve heard many great reviews from people I trust. The customer service in this tiny gem of a store is also A1. They care about their customers, I can tell. I hope you guys stay open for a very long time.“
“One sip of the passion fruit smoothie and I felt like I was on a tropical island! Packed with mango and passion fruit and kale and spinach, it's hearty yet sweet and has all the flavors of Hawaii. Love it and the guy at the register was so sweet and even gave me a sample. Can't wait to come back. 5 stars!!!!“
“Two visits and 2 for 2 on the quality. Locally owned and run. Clean tables, swept floor, friendly knowledgeable service. This store is what Starbucks used to be in terms of excellent coffee drinks and delicious pastries (some from Balthazar) including a waffle croissant creation called croffle. Nice place to enjoy a cup of Joe and chill or get some work do“
“They serve both hot and cold drinks! It’s tucked inside a run down food court but the lady is very sweet. I was looking for something hot to drink after my hypothermia inducing run and came across this little gem. They have a kiosk if you don’t have cash to order and pay for drinks. Thanks Zhen Pin Cafe, you saved me from a trip to the hospital and probably a very high medical bill too ?“
“Hawaii Poke impressed me with its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Their variety of toppings allows for unique combinations, and the service has always been fast and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality and originality in their dishes!Dietary restrictions: I can always customize my dish to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which is crucial for me. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly. I'll definitely be back!“
“Bubble tea and cookies are really delicious!!The staff are always friendly, and even if there are any complaints, they are resolved very quickly! This place also sells wine, so it's a great place to chat with friends while enjoying wine or dessert.I like the cafe atmosphere.“
