I've got the coconut slush with tapioca pearls, yes it was . I also got the dry rose petals to flavor my loose leaf black tea. A great substitution for sugar. Finally some relaxing tea for meditation time. Price is excellent and quality is unrivaled❤❤❤ Highly recommended!

I asked for their most popular drink and they recommended their classic milk tea with boba. They had the option for green or red tea. Got the green tea version. Good quality milk tea with chewy firm boba. Was a little too sweet for me- forgot to ask for less sugar. If you're a classic milk tea lover, this is a spot to try.

Best bubble tea in Queens! Better than all the chains - always consistent.

Ten ren is an og bubble tea store and for many this was the only bubble tea store we knew of as kids. It still has all the classics and to me no other bubble tea will ever compare with their fancy gimmicks of gold flakes or burnt tops. If you like bubble tea for what it is which is milk tea with boba you'll love this place. They also sell Chinese medicinal herbs and overall this shop is known for using real tea for their bubble tea. (With the exception of taro or honeydew) The staff is mainly Cantonese so I say it's best to stick to whatever you see on the menu. My favorites are Royal milk tea if you're looking for a milk tea similar to Hong Kong milk tea which is strong and bitter but also very sweet. Or the classic black milk tea both are delicious and you can never go wrong with them.

DO NOT GET SCAMMED. Just paid $20 to get a boba and the shop owner insisted I paid $10 only. In the end, I paid $16.50 for a drink that doesn’t even taste good. Beware of their tactics!

Tldr: sadly wouldn't recommend for boba but cannot speak on the experience of buying loose leaf!Like others, I also tried the 913 milk tea, which is popular, with half sugar and no ice. I was really hoping for a strong tea taste, but I was sadly IMMENSELY let down. For $6.50, it's seriously watered down and there is no strong tea impression. Sadly not worth at all. I'd easily suggest Chun Yang over Ten Ren based on my experience. Much more distinct oolong flavor for the same price post-tax.HOWEVER, I can't speak on the experience of buying loose leaf tea nor the quality of it, and it's been raved upon for its high quality. Staff is nice, and I felt welcomed!!

I tried the 913 ice milk tea, which was advertised as using good-quality tea leaves freshly brewed daily. They mixed the tea with evaporated milk and allowed you to choose your desired sweetness level. However, I must admit that I wasn’t impressed with the boba tea; it was just average in taste. Additionally, I found it to be on the expensive side.

Excellent service. Creative dishes and decor. Overpriced and overrated food.

Love this place!It's the first place that started serving bubble tea in Flushing, since the 90's!I love their basic black or green milk tea. It doesn't taste artificial or extremely sweet. The tapioca are chewy and tasty!There's an extremely great variety of drinks, both. hot and cold!They also sell Tea Ren tea, and ginseng in beautifully displayed boxes (great gift!The only complaint I have is that the plastic lid they serve the tea in is extremely large and bubble like (think like a lid served with 7-11 slurpees). The lid seems like a inefficient use of lid/plastic.

I came here with high expectations because I thought I heard good things about this spot but it was nothing but mediocre for me. I will say that the barista there was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the "Lychee Green Tea" and the "Taro Milk Tea." The lychee green tea, was nothing but 2 tiny scoops of lychee syrup with the green tea..somehow I couldn't taste the lychee at all. The taro milk tea was very chalky and seemed like it was made with cheap taro powder. Pricing is not bad though, if you are on a budget and want a quick fix. Also, keep in mind - this spot is cash only.
