I came here for the salted crispy chicken and sweet potato fries. There are about eight seats in the store where you can sit and eat. Salted crispy chicken is made from chicken drumsticks, and the spicy version is very spicy. If you don’t like spicy food, I recommend ordering it not spicy at all. Although the sweet potato fries are not the most authentic thick fries, the sweet potatoes are sweet enough, and the sweet and sour ganmei powder is very refreshing.

Love stopping here for their bubble tea and for their Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Honestly it's my favorite item on the menu. If you're not a huge spicy person, I'd recommend getting it without the seasoning. It comes out piping hot, so be careful if you're eating it right away!

The green tea was too hot and undrinkable, she said they ran out of a cup sleeve and she would have to charge us if she gives us another cup… the cup was simply too hot to carry and we got a take out order. Overall terrible experience.

The menu can use more work. Almond milk option at a bubble tea spot is a must.For 3rd party delivery, have an option to choose/add double tapiocaEasy 5 stars with some quick fixes.

Have been looking for authentic Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the city for years. Finally found it here!!! The chicken is juicy tender and seasoned with traditional Taiwanese flavor. It's sooo good! I also ordered the rice bowl and loved it! The rice reminds me of the bento box rice in Taiwan. Delicious! Taro puffs and snow fungus jelly drink are also good to my liking, tasty and not too sweet! Will def order again!One little suggestion, adding basils, onion, or garlic would take the popcorn chicken to a whole new level. Taiwanese would know what I'm talking about

Food is less than the price. It's not worth spending money there.Second, for people visit 8th Avenue after 9pm. DO NOT go to HO HO TEHorrible server, messed 5 orders tonight, and plus after 10pm, they WILL rush you out even if they aloud you dining in after 9:45, and food comes out after 10pm. They will demand you to finish or pack for take-out
Best milk tea I've ever had in New York. Highly recommend. The tea is very fragrant and the milk is always the right amount

I am a big fan of milk tea. I have had at least one cup every day since I was a child. When I came to the United States, it really drove me crazy! ! I couldn't find the flavor of my love, and finally, I met one! I’m so touched ???, his sugar-free oolong milk tea and sugar-free fresh milk green are so delicious! (I only drink hot and sugar-free drinks now, because I feel that the tea and milk produced by Caipin are good and match well), and the big cup is the big cup, not because you order the hot one. Just make it a smaller cup so that you can still enjoy the same quality. It’s really conscientious. ???I went to watch the Messi Parade and had two drinks a day, and the lady at the counter was so kind and patient! Really missed.What’s puzzling is that even when I used Google to search for keywords (tea, milk tea, pearl milk tea, etc…), this store didn’t come up. Fortunately, I came across it when I was about to go to another store using Google ❤️❤️❤️By the way, the pearls are also delicious ? It’s the size of boba that Taiwan calls, and the taste is different from 50 Lan. In short, it’s Q’s and not bad!

My absolute favorite boba place, I will love it forever. Vibe is very casual, there are some seats to sit and eat your food. Not too loud or bright either. However this probably depends on the amount of people inside. Service is fast considering they also do takeout/delivery orders. Everything comes out in a timely manner. I can recommend almost everything from the menu. My usuals are the plain milk tea, taro milk green tea, and pink flush. The boba is well done, a perfect texture. Milk tea balances flavor perfectly. Taro green tea is definitely a must try. Pink flush is the perfect drink if you are a grapefruit person. Drink quality is super consistent. Their drinks are also not too sweet, even the regular sugar.

Consistently delicious!! My sister and I always get the taro milk green tea, and the tea is strong and brewed fresh, and the bubbles are so chewy and soft. Yum!!

I have enjoyed multiple orders of the eel bowl, when serviced by Pauline, who provides outstanding service. However, when she is not there a Hispanic male employee behaves angry and aggressive as though he wants to beat me. He snatches receipts from my bag, if I ask for a receipt that displays my total balance, rips the paper seal from the hot tea cup, when I request a lid to cover the hot tea. Not placing a seal and lid on a hot beverage could lead to me burning myself. On several occasions the cup lost its form and lid separated causing me to nearly drop the cup. I have noticed that the food does not taste the same when he takes and prepares my order. The same food that usually tastes good-the tea is too strong and the eel bowl does not taste as good as it usually does. I have decided not to place orders with him any longer and to wait for Pauline to return and place my order. To avoid his aggressive and unpleasant behavior. I am fearful that he may do something untoward to my food.
