They have a very extensive menu of bubble teas. The only hot green tea's they had for all the different flavors, I had the oatmeal much a green tea and it was pretty good. The small drink size is pretty large. It is a very large space with a lot of seating and apparently they also have food. May drink came out pretty fast and service was friendly. The drinks come with the kind of lid that look like they will not leak, but my leaked.
2.5 stars. A bubble tea shop in Bay Ridge means you seriously have to step up your game. I was super excited when I saw they were opening at this location. After trying them, I was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered the royal chili tomato sauce fries, Hawaii sauce fries and a mango pudding milk tea. There was a long wait for the fries and they literally just sprinkled seaweed on them… The names of the sauces were so enticing so I thought they would be some special sauce recipes. Unfortunately, the "royal chili tomato" sauce tasted like hot sauce (not even Sriracha) mixed with ketchup and the "Hawaii" sauce just tasted like honey mustard.
As for the mango pudding milk tea, it was ok. My lid looked like it was on tight, but I don't know how it managed to leak everywhere. They give a decent amount of mango pudding, but it wasn't that good. I wish they had egg pudding because that's pretty much standard at any bubble tea shop. I think the drinks should be ok here so I might be willing to give them another chance, but never again for their snacks! I'm not sure how long they've been open for, but they seem to have some things they need to figure out. I do have to mention that the decor is nice in its simplicity.
Bubble tea in the area! I was excited to try this place when I heard about it months ago. Finally got to come here after dinner. I ordered their potted milk tea and no thank you.. I don't think I'll ever order that again. It tasted so weird that I could not put in words how it tasted like. However, they had food/snacks on their menu, so I definitely want to come back and try those. Hopefully, the food/snacks are not as bad. I would give their "regular" bubble tea another try as well. Just not their potted milk tea. I do not recommend that.
Very decent bubble tea in a quiet not-particularly-Asian neighborhood. I think opening a store here was a mistake, but watcha gonna do… Trick is to not order food at these types of shops, as its all a side show to the milk tea. Order the straight milk tea (don't look to far down the menu from the original) and you're unlikely to be disappointed. I hope they last, because the teas are truly quite good. If I had to consider the food my guess is they'd lose 1-2 stars (but I don't order that stuff and now you know too).
Stopped in here for some snacks and to try their drinks. Cute setup, front are chairs and tables, free wifi, and the back is a small area where they sell babies/kids toys, tables, chairs and some (random) household items.
I had the potted plant drink which looks super cute and tasted good! Like a lighter version of milk tea and did not feel heavy..
Tried the abalone ramen (super tasty) and french fries w sour cream/cheese dip (yummy too!)
Id definitely visit again when im in the area. Wish there was one like this around my area
This place isn't so bad. I had initially wanted to go to dunkin donuts to wait for my friend but it was filled. I saw this place across the street with many seats and decided to give it a try.
I actually love bubble tea and experienced so many different types at different locations. Adding another experience to the list wouldn't hurt.
After looking over their big menu, I decided to try their Kings Cake Milk Tea because it sounded interesting.
I have to say, their service is great. After ordering my drink, I went to grab a seat by the door so it would be easily visible to my friend and somehow I completely forgot about my drink. The guy working walked all the way to my table to give me my drink. He wasn't upset or anything. Very nice.
The drink itself wasn't anything special but it wasn't bad either. Maybe a little sweet for my liking but my taste buds are weird. I like sweeter things sometimes and blander other times. It wouldn't hurt to buy drinks here.
I would try their food if I wasn't so full. They have so many choices! The picture makes them look very yummy but I wouldn't know how they are really like until I try.
I was walking past and read the menu on the window. Like they have takoyaki which is called cakamari. It seem suprising and confusing is it takoyaki or is it a cake? What is cakamari is that really takoyaki? These questions pondered to my brain as I was reading the menu.
Well I decided to punish myself and go inside. Since the menu said its cakamari but looks like takoyaki in the photo I approached the counter and asked is it takoyaki, octupus? The young lady didnt understand what I was asking. I even asked does it come with shaved bonito but she looked at me like what??
Anyway the cakamari is a poor excuse for a failed attempt at takoyaki. I mean it took close to 15 minutes when I placed the order until it was ready. Which seemed promising wow fresh takoyaki. But I was greatly disappointed! Yes there was shaved bonito on top but the octupus was no where to be found.
I broke one open and saw very tiny pieces of octupus, 2 to be exact. They were about the size of nothing, small almost non-existent. Seemed these were cake balls more like kaka not cakamari.
I also ordered chicken wings! Not any chicken wings, korean chicken wings. OMG!! The photo showed chicken wings but when I opened the box there was only 3 wingettes. This was also a complete fail especially when I was fooled to believe they would be wings with barely any flavor.
When I left here my stomach was still hungry. I went home and was rummaging through the refrigerator. This place is a joke and I learned my lesson when reading menus. If its named one thing and claims to be other stay away!!
I came in with my wife and baby to get some milk tea on Friday around 2pm.
A young Asian boy with a sour face (I will name him "Sour Puss") was at the cash register. Very unfriendly. Very unwelcoming. I asked Sour Puss a question about the menu and he obviously didn't want to talk to me.
We purchased some tea with lime since it was really hot outside. The tea was very good and refreshing. I really enjoyed it, but was totally put off by Sour Puss.
I was GOING to give two stars for good tea + crappy service, but then my wife reminded me that this place was filthy.
OK… OK… I know when a Yelper feels slighted / pissed off, the first thing they say is that there were rats in the food. I don't do that. I won't tell you a horror story, however, I will tell you the truth. The place was filthy. The floor looked like it was mopped with brackish water. The windows had oil smears. There were the remnants of peoples' food on empty tables. It looked filthy. So, in summary:
