    Bubble tea has become popular these days for the younger generation. It's always crowded at a bubble tea chain store even in a cold winter day like today. You'll find a huge selection of different flavors of bubble tea. This store is neat and clean. They also provide free Wi-Fi to let you surf the net while you are enjoying bubble tea. Somehow, you should be cautious on Choke hazard....

    The inside was inviting and very modern. Their signs made it easy to order and had lots of enticing options. I ordered their brown sugar milk foam tea and it was stellar! I also got a matcha bubble waffle with strawberry and vanilla ice cream. That was also extremely good. Would definitely reccomend checking this place out!

    I love this place for its bubble tea and overall neatness. I wish they had an app to order bubble on for pick up instead of calling in. I usually have screaming kids around me so I always feel bad when calling. They have plexiglass up, social distancing markers, employees wear their masks properly and constantly. Their indoor seating is closed - which is big sigh of relief during the pandemic.

    Gong Cha is my family's favorite bubble tea brand. We like to try different brands from time to time. Gong Cha is still the best. This location is especially good. The service is good, fast, and quality is reliable.

    Such a nice little bubble tea place in Edison, NJ! It's clean inside and the staff is friendly and helpful when trying to choose your drink. I ordered the Strawberry Milk tea (regular ice and 50% less sugar) and added the strawberry boba. The strawberry milk tea was delicious (great for any strawberry or strawberry milk lover). I wasn't a fan of the strawberry boba and wish I had gotten regular boba instead. The texture of the strawberry boba is a little weird and not as soft.. it was more hard jelly like? My friends got the oolong milk tea with milk foam and it was really good! The milk foam just added a foamy and creamier taste to the drink. I'll probably get this drink next time as it was really really good. All in all, the place is cute and the teas are good! Definitely worth checking out!

    Gong Cha has mad good reviews and we’re bubble tea addicts so we had to try!! These guys are not cheap about their bubbles. It was the perfect tea to bubble ratio! We ordered: Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea (Left) Pearl Milk Tea (Right)

    If there's anything that can be said, it's that the staff at this location are GREAT!!! Every one of them were great! I came in and wanted to try something on the menu that I wanted "altered" a bit and they all pitched in on how to make it work and what would make it better. I loved what they had made and if I could give it more stars, I would!

    I don't know why my drinks taste off at times and good at times. Usually when the girls work I get excellent & friendly customer service. My passionfruit green tea tastes very good. When the slow guys work the customer service is meh and the passionfruit tastes like water. I hope they can fix this issue although I never had this issue when I went to the other location down the street inside the lotte supermarket.

    Tried the strawberry matcha latte was decent but a little too sweet and artificial tasting. The earl grey milk tea with pudding was delicious 👌 place is clean and fast. Beats Starbucks!

    Clean Gong Cha. Consistent and delicious with the other Gong Chas. Great bathrooms available and plenty of seating. Quick, simple, and good milk tea.

    Been in&out of this place throughout the years, for some reason never had any time to leave a review. Until this past couple visits where I felt the service had got a whole lot better. Think they finally hired some very good staff. The drinks (winter melon*) my favorite. They were able to make it just right, not too sweet like other places and the Bubble waffle was so good I had to go back for my 2nd on the same day. Overall, this is my go to place in Edison.

    I really love the dirty brown sugar milk tea they sell. I get it every time and never get sick of it! I recommend the white pearl topping. Also, the waffle is pretty good too.

    I got the caramel chocolate slush which I regularly get, but this time it tasted like ice water and barely a hint of flavor. I went back and told them and the cashier said, “so?” and sent me off. Wonderful. If I could give zero stars for service I would. Smh

    。.i visited friend in NJ. I choose to drove here instead trying other bubble tea cause we love gongcha. They messed up my toppings. (White pearl is the best topping). The staff just opened the cap with barehand without washing hand and pour over to the other cup. And the container left with stickiness… my friend let it go cause we are in a hurry. I wouldn’t come back but we love gongcha and it’s the only store near by so… the store still looks like in quanrantine mode. Only two staff are working. Two stars for my first experience here, but I still love gong cha drink~

    So I frequent here every ~3 weeks. 90% time no issues. But days like today just annoy me a bit. So I get1 of 2 things every time depending on time of day. Either a Milk foam dirty brown sugar milk tea or the non tea version. Both are same priced. Yet today i was charged extra $1 for whole milk put in....Like what...And I stopped getting bubbles once they started charging for it. Before that happened though, I asked for no bubbles once, and guess what. They charged me an extra $1 to not put the bubbles in. Each time I asked why this charge makes sense the worker just looked at me and said that's just the way it is. I would say stuff like this happened a total of 4-5 times over the last year. Just the little details bother me the most. First time I had to write a review. Service wasn't "bad". Just doesn't seem to know or care to give an accurate answer or explanation for a price discrepancy.

    Some of us have diabetes so please tell your staff to double check orders because we need them to have a certain amount of sugar. I specifically said 30% sugar but it did not show up on the label on the side of the cup.

    Enjoy the selections provided. The staff very accommodating with my preference. Enjoy the rewards program. Smoothies are yummilicous

    Rating it two stars. My previous experiences at this location were positive, but I've noticed a significant inconsistency in the quality of their tea, largely dependent on the staff. While some employees excel at crafting the perfect drink, there's one male staff member who consistently falls short. Not only is his bubble tea preparation subpar, but I also have concerns about his cleanliness. Whenever he prepares my order, I've observed questionable practices, such as unsanitary handling of the tea and using tap water for mixing. It's disappointing to see a once-favorite spot compromised by a lack of basic hygiene, particularly due to this individual's presence.
