“I’ve been here twice since I was introduced to this place. Both time were good experiences. Customer service is good. I’ve had the matcha red bean slush w/ bubbles & the Oreo slush with bubbles... both were great. & I like their boba bc they are cooked just right. I would recommend people to come.“
“I have no idea why the reviews are so low! My daughter and I love to go there for special occasions and enjoy their wonderful tea and boba! I really like the house milk tea, 50% sweet with honey boba, my daughter likes the brown sugar one, 75% sweet with honey boba as well. The prices are also very reasonable and non-expensive; yesterday we got two teas for just $13!“
“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“
“I was there today and the costumer service is great the people who works there are really friendly and nice.I’d order a mango slush and it was very refreshing and good.I definitely will come back thank you John and Mary for your service☺️“
“This is one of my favorite boba places around fairfax.Really love the ambiance and they are open late at night.I have tried thai milk tea, Vietnamese coffee and Cherry blossom drink.Everything was delicious. They have place to hangout and can spend time with friends.They are not just a boba place. They do have food to eat.“
“Teaism is a well-known teahouse brand with four shops in Washington, DC. I prefer the one in Dupont Circle because it has a cozy and homely feel, especially the upstairs dining area with windows overlooking the street. The place has an Asian-inspired decor and offers quality teas, all-day breakfast, bento boxes, light Japanese and Thai-style meals, and some snacks such as cookies and Asian-inspired desserts like matcha gelato, jasmine creme brulee, and mochi.We ordered salmon and Korean Beef Brisket bento sets, which tasted amazing. The salads that came with them added crunchiness to the food. The mochi had the expected texture and taste. It's a self-service establishment, so there is little to discuss about the service.“
“I've been wanting to try this place out for months. So glad I did. I picked up a mango and a lemon mochi donut. The texture makes them lighter and more chewy than a standard doughnut. Nice place to stop by for bubble-boba tea and a mochi donut. Decor inside is adorable.“
“They have the best milk teas! The boba are soft and sweet. The crème brûlée topping and tiramisu puff topping are perfectly sweet and I love the little shovels they give you! Customer service is SO fast! They are usually halfway done with your order by the time you’re swiping your card. This is my fave boba place, and it has made every other place sub par.“

“Great, friendly service! I had a lot of questions about the food and they answered patiently. Food was sooo good. My first Bing impressions: delightful and satisfying. Rose milk tea was divine as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.“
“I know rating the place 5 stars seems too good to be true, but I’ve been going to this donutchew since they opened last year and it’s really become one of my favorite places to go. The staff are super friendly and really care about the place, the food is super tasty and the drinks are my end of week treat after a long week of work. My personal favs are the mango and early grey donuts (when they have the early grey, they have some flavors on rotation every week). The tea is very tasty, black milk tea or the orange fruit tea are my go-tos, and the corn dogs hit the spot when you really need it. I’ve spent hours sitting in there and studying as I eat and drink, and I’ve never felt awkward even when I’m the only one in the store. Many outlets for laptops, always seating available. Very chill atmosphere to those looking for a small space to get some work done. I always take my friends here and recommend it to everyone!!“
“So happy to have a quality boba place close by and not connected to the mall! The location is super convenient and easy to get to. The staff is incredible and the drinks are delicious. The vibe of the shop is so good. I have tried a variety of drinks and have yet to have a bad one. I love how you can customize absolutely everything. 5 stars for BoBaPoP Tea Bar!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Bubble Mochi is really good. I like the chocolate donut and mango yogurt smoothies. Servers were energetic and smiling. Also, they have some cute squishmellos for sale. The decor inside bubble mochi is really cute, and reminds me of a coffee shop in Tokyo,“
“It's a bubble tea place, not much else to say. Practically speaking I believe it to be the best in the area, and also one of the better deals too. They have some food options too but I haven't sampled any of them. They are open late which is nice for a late night treat / hangout. The shopping center it's in gets busy at all hours so sometimes parking can be annoying, but I've never not found a spot.“
“It was my first time trying Korean style shaved ice dessert. It comes in flavors and a variety of toppings + the condensed milk drizzle at the end. I ordered half taro half milk tea with custard pudding, honey boba, and mochi. It was very refreshing and delicious with the right level of sweetness. Will definitely go again.“
“I had their brown sugars, Zhang , Zhang , special Boba and I give it five out of five stars. My favorite brown sugar Boba is from Tiger Sugar, and I would say that this one might be even better. The Boba itself is nice and chewy and the drink is very creamy. Will be coming here again. Next time I'm in Georgetown to try out more of their flavors.“
“Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular.“
“Tried the New Orleans Style Coffee Milk Tea and I liked it. It was a unique combination, mixing coffee and milk tea, which offered a refreshing change from the usual boba flavors. I also appreciated their everyday promotion of Buy 4, Get 1 free. They tend to give a bit more ice than other places, so keep that in mind.“
“Huge thanks to Christine and the HEH team! They helped me throw a private event at the store for my sister's 40th birthday! Communication with Christine was a breeze - everything was clear and fast. We agreed on all the details beforehand, which were perfectly outlined in the invoice, and the price was very reasonable. The store itself was clean and inviting, the staff was friendly, and both the food and drinks were delicious. Most importantly, everyone had a fantastic time! I highly recommend this boba shop for any event.“
“Outstanding quality of ingredients makes Bengong a cut high above all other tea shops I’ve been to. They use real milk. They actually have real tea in the taro milk tea (most shops don’t m), etc. The quality of the ingredients becomes immediately obvious when you taste it. Also, the cost is basically the same as the regular tea shops anyways, so you’re getting way more bang for your buck.“
“I don't have a single complaint about this incredible restaurant...I love sushi...way too much, to the point where my friends and family tell me to chill on the weekly trips. Our waiter was attentive and so sweet! Upon receiving my food, I was amazed! Asia Bistro's sushi MELTS in your mouth. Everything is so fresh and delicate! Even the Philly Roll (yes, you can mess up a Philly roll) was to die for! Chicken teriyaki was tender, our rice was excellent, the house salad with ginger dressing...chef's kiss! Oh, and the edamame was the best I have ever had! Please check out this spot!!“
“Best Thai restaurant in Falls Church by far. The food is always warm and prepared deliciously. When dining in, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the hosts are very attentive and kind. Never had any issues with ordering online either. I recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Thai food in NoVA.“
“Solid quality milk teas - definitely a step above other milk tea shops in terms of quality of the tea and the creamer. You can taste the tea well, and the creamer they use (the "milk" part of the milk tea) smoothly integrates with the tea. Highly recommend the roasted oolong milk tea and the jasmine milk tea - really fragrant tasting. Also recommend 30% for both sugar and ice.“
“I loooove bubba tea. Came to this location in Ballston Quarter. I always get the Taro Milk Tea at any bobba tea shop and this time was no different. The drink was not overly too sweet, it was just right. I enjoyed this drink. Would be back here when I'm in the area.“
“This spot was a lovely treat at the end of a long day. Good selection of flavors and toppings. Neat and clean, with good customer service.Vegetarian options: It's Yogurt!Dietary restrictions: Low Sugar, Low Calorie optionsKid-friendliness: Kids would love it“
“Solid service, great drinks, I'm in here at least twice a week. I think their boba are about the best in the area, they're usually very fresh. When they didn't have something I ordered on the app once, the young man working the counter went out of his way to make me something I'd like as an alternative. My only complaint is how expensive they are.“
“Updated: Carol reached out to me regarding my previous review. Having to come from LA to visit a 4.0-rated boba place definitely has caught my attention and I had high expectations. She admitted the drink that was made (strawberry matcha latte) was an error on her team's end, and asked us to give SecreTea another try. We are glad that we did, as Carol & Greg was open to our suggestions and recommendations. It definitely tasted better than the previous visit we had encountered. Thank you, Carol, for your customer service and your willingness to make sure your customers are satisfied. We hope to visit again soon!“
“I have ordered from her multiple times. Fast service, milk tea teas are good, and the tapioca pearls are nice and chewy. My personal favorite is the taro but all of them are good.I'm giving 4 stars since when I went one day at 8:20(40 minutes before closing) it seemed that they were already closed.“
“Gong Cha is the OG and there's a reason they're everywhere! Lots of flavor selections, quick service, and good tasting bubble tea. Ordering with the kiosk can be a bit weird because for some reason you can't change sugar or ice level on some drinks, but if you order at the counter the staff can make those modifications for you. I ordered a classic - dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba. The boba was excellent! Not super chewy, but not hard either. Went down easily and tasted great. The brown sugar milk tea tasted like brown sugar, not much to speak on there. Will be here whenever I'm in Rosslyn and have a hankering for bubble tea.“
“I am a little late to this review, but I love everything about this place, honestly! Their drinks are fresh, have a positive atmosphere, and food creativity is excellent! The recent new drink Wake up in the blue sky ? If you are lactose intolerant, not the drink for you, but definitely ask their staff for recommendations as their menu will have something fit for you.“
“This place is a milk tea store with a Jamaican restaurant combined run by two different owner.I never had Jamaican food before, but maybe in the future.The milk tea is really good, i had their classic tomtom milk tea, it has lots of toppings stuffed inside, mango jelly,egg pudding and apple popping boba, also other stuff i don't remember the name.It was amazing, definitely will try again and recommend to other.“
“**updated**Still the best! I love going to crystal city because of this place. I only go to crystal city for this place. Open on weekends again!*****The best bubble tea in the DMV! All the flavors are great and the owner is really awesome. 10/10! I will miss this shop when I leave Crystal City. One of the few surviving shops in the Crystal City Undergroundtoo.“
“My wife typically always like getting a tea from Eden center. She'll cycle between this place, tea dm, mr wish and vivi tea. The tea at this place is alright, though I'm not the best judge cause they'll are pretty mediocre to me. That being said the food though was surprisingly good and the price was very amenable. Got it for the first time not too long ago and will definitely be back. For less than $12 you can get a healthy portion of popcorn chicken along with a hearty helping of rice, veggies, and half egg. It's a great lunch and even dinner option. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.“
“Really adorable and fun decor! I can only speak for the bubble tea which is great- not the food which I've yet to try. It's a little expensive but the drinks are worth it. My only complaint is that one cashier in this location was rude to me once, made a strange comment, although I think he left. Watch the customer service. Otherwise I'd totally recommend it and go back.“
“One tip! This place is underground down a set of stairs! Other than that it is simple to find! Their atmosphere is super friendly they have sitting tables Japanese style and a grass wall. Their boba drinks are really good! They are on the sweeter side and a good size!“
“Love that the drinks here are not too overly sweet. My go to drink here is the Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea. You get that unique black tea, milkiness, and slightly sweet brown sugar. The pearls are always the right consistency! Always quick and friendly service.“
“Poki DC is a good place to have salads meals combo with shakes and smoothies. The quality of foods and quantity of a single serving is good. It's good enough doe a single person's appetite. The veggies and meats are fresh. Shakes too are quite exotic, good looking and good in taste as well.“
“WOAH. Bubble tea lovers, go to TeaDM Plus NOW!!!!!! I went for the first time and got the buy 4 get 1 free, and the same my second time around. Service is so nice, the workers are so super friendly (I'm a teenager, take that into account adults haha!) and the drinks only took about 2 minutes per drink!! Less when there weren't as many people there. The atmosphere is so awesome, it's like a night club haha. I will say, if you're going to go study or planning to sit down here, go on a weekday before schools and work get out. It's get so busy!!! “
“Two words: oolong softserve. Don't walk. Run and get it now.Seriously, move over matcha ice cream. There's a new sheriff in town. And that sheriff's name is tieguanyin ice cream.We had no expectations and didn't see it on the menu. But on the wall behind the display was a picture. Taking a risk we ordered the ice cream.Order it with brown sugar boba at the bottom. The first bite hits you with a solid tea flavor that is so well balanced. A little sweet, a little nutty, full tea flavor.BAM!Taste buds swoon. We demolished that ice cream. TKO.Hasta la vista baby. We'll be back.Kid-friendliness: Very spacious and it seemed family friendly. There are high tables and low tables which are well suited for young people. There are also a set of Jenga and Domino's. We brought a 1-year-old and a 6-year-old, both of whom had a blast.“
“Upon entering the store if very small but very cozy. I ordered their Bubble Milk Tea and Rose Milk tea. it was good, pretty sweet but their flavor was lacking a little for my taste but their boba was good and I liked it relative to the other options at the mall.“

“There are 4 boba places in Tyson’s mall this is the best one! The girls that work here are extremely nice and helpful. I admire the team and work ethic this place has. I watched them make it and they really take their time and I feel like I’m actually paying for a handcrafted drink. I’ll keep coming back!!“
“I can highly recommend this place for bubble tea! Apart from having a good variety among the classics and great customization options, it’s clean and very cozy. It has fussball and old school gaming stations such as Pac-Man and NBA jam. I have been going here multiple times and it’s a great hang out spot where teenagers, young adults, and families like to go.“
