I ordered a 50% sugar, but it tasted more like a 200% sugar! Way too sweet almost undrinkable. Please double-check your sugar levels because this definitely wasn’t what I ordered. Hope this can be fixed for future orders😅

I stopped by this boba tea spot in the Little Tokyo area and had a pretty enjoyable experience overall. What stood out to me first was how the ordering system works—all orders are placed on a screen rather than directly with a cashier. It felt modern and a little fancy, and I actually enjoyed customizing my drink on the screen. It was fun to scroll through the options, adjust sweetness, ice, and toppings, and really create something that felt like my own drink.
I decided to go with the brown sugar Earl Grey milk tea. The tea itself was really good—the Earl Grey had that fragrant, slightly floral note that balanced well with the creamy milk and rich brown sugar. It wasn’t overly sweet, which I appreciated, and I could tell the tea quality was solid.
The only thing that was a little disappointing for me was the boba. It didn’t feel like it was fully cooked through, and I noticed a slightly floury texture in the center, which took away from the usual chewy and springy bite I normally look forward to. Maybe it was just an off day for the tapioca, because everything else about the drink was on point.
Even with that, I’d still recommend this place, especially if you’re in Little Tokyo and want to try a boba shop with a modern vibe and lots of customization options. It’s worth a visit for the tea quality and the fun ordering experience alone.

Why not cover this sticker or draw an arrow? It is misleading, as it suggests that a card should be inserted here, when in fact the payment device is on the right and there are no bright indicators on it.

I was craving some boba and decided to get one at Gong Cha. I have had Gong Cha in different stores, also in different countries.
For this location in Little Tokyo, I got to say it is very sweet. I did 50% sugar and really felt the strong sweetness.
Boba was small and a little on the stiff side. Ordered triple jelly, nothing too spectacular.
Store was a little understaffed. Saw one employee running back and forth. However, I appreciated that they were considerate of the wait time.

Wonderful customer service! They kindly offered to remake my passionfruit green tea and it turned out exactly how I wanted. I mistakenly ordered coconut jelly when I only wanted boba. And the 50% sugar option was too sweet for my taste but the 30% was perfect.

Great value & service. A small cafe area with a quiet ambience. Must try lemon+watermelon+basil seed tea. It was refreshing!
Gong Cha is an okay choice for milk tea, especially for people who love sweet. 🧋 However, even the "no sweet" option is still tooooo sweet for those accustomed to traditional milk tea flavors, which can be disappointing. 🍬❌ Additionally, the automatic tip setting feels unnecessary for a milk tea café, which knocks another star off. 💰⚠️ Overall, decent drinks but not the best experience for those looking for authentic flavors and fair pricing. ⭐⭐

Ordered less ice, get HALF CUP ice. Almost no drink and very little toppings. Disappointed, won’t visit again.
