“I visited during the grand opening special and ordered a bubble tea and a taro bubble tea! I think both tasted good, nothing special, but I did like the chewy texture of the boba! I also thought the staff were very welcoming and nice! They gave me a boba plushy keychain and a donut as part of their promotion! The space is a bit small inside but has a few stools to sit! This is a great addition to the bubble tea options in this area!“
“The tea leaves and raw materials selected by the store are very good, so the proportion of the blend is also very delicious. It is a very attentive beverage store, and the service of the store staff is also very friendly and considerate. I recommend it to friends who want to drink hand-cranked drinks!“
“The service, food, and atmosphere were all amazing! I was a little hesitant at first to try a Korean Corn Dog coated in sugar, but it was actually pretty good! My little sister forgot her bubble tea (really good by the way) where we were sitting and one of the staff brought it out to us as we were leaving. Overall it was a wonderful and delightful experience and I highly recommend this place!“
“I recently brought Don chicken's fried chicken to my friend's birthday party, and it was an absolute hit! The soy garlic chicken was incredibly crispy and bursting with flavor, earning praise from everyone at the gathering. This chicken is versatile enough to be enjoyed both as a meal and for catering events. Also, when I went to pick up the food, the store was clean and the staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating. It's clear that prioritizes cleanliness and customer service, making it the perfect choice for any occasion ! Highly recommend !“
“Surprised to find and enjoy such great food . The restaurant is very small, more for takeout than dine in. It is immaculate, bright and the service is great. Beautifully packaged and delicious! A must try!! Next time we need to try the bubble tea...“
“First, the owners that run this place are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I ordered a noodle bowl with marinated tofu and veggies, it was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back soon, I got my eye on them baos..“
“My family and I love love love Kubo. Since they opened, we def try to come here any time were in the area. My fave fave fave is the Ube Soft Serve with Taiyaki and boba. Their soft serve is just so creamy and flavorful. I haven't tried everything on their menu yet, but I def plan to. Posting a pic from our most recent visit last week.They have a small seating area, but in the warmer seasons they add some extra outside seating which is nice. Its always a great place for some pics, too.10/10 Highly recommend!“
“Strongly recommend this place. I have been to a lot of bubble tea places in New Jersey and New York City and BTX is definitely the best bubble tea place I have tried so far. I have tried most of the items on their menu and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them.“
“Could not have been a better experience. Victor (I believe his name is) greeeted is and wished us a Happy Holiday. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly Donburi and the Ebi Tama Donburi and absolutely loved both of them. The pork belly was tender and succulent, a wonderful combo with the rice and greens. The Ebi Taka was shrimp tempura along with egg and rice. Both of the portions were large! I had the chocolate boba. a perfect balance to the saltier entree. We'll be back!“
“The dolgana latte was a good blend of honey and coffee. The pumping spice really tasted like it should be and is earthy and doesn't taste artificial. My favorite was the sugar free vanilla latte. It was a good blend of sweet and again it didn't taste artificial.“

“Love the milk teas here! I always get one when I'm at this mall. (I think there was a different bubble tea shop here before but no matter, they're both really good.) Taro or brown sugar milk teas with boba are my usual tried & trues, but I had a lavender milk tea with lychee jelly recently and it's fantastic! The lavender is subtle and the jelly is ambrosial. Sounds like a bizarre combination but it works! They also do fruit teas and slushies. Would love it if they add rose tea in the future. There is only one size and it's large - the cup quality is nice, not the flimsy kind of flexible plastic that are used at so many bubble tea places. I can actually keep it and reuse. Service was quick and very friendly. I didn't get the name of the girl who took my order but she was lovely. The location is on the 1st floor of the hall section connecting the main mall area to Nickelodeon Universe.“
“Cute little shop hidden away! I got the passion fruit green tea, which was made fresh. The drink was super refreshing and I really like how they use real fruit. The packaging is also so cute and the service was pretty quick. Definitely want to come back to try their other drink flavors and the boba.“
“We moved from Fort Lee to Carlstadt area a year ago and struggled to find good Korean Fried Chicken nearby. Tried this today and it’s delicious! Family owned and very authentic to me. It came with a large serving of Coleslaw for my 20 pcs wing order. Crispy and saucy but doesn’t feel greasy. We will definitely be coming back whenever we want KFC!“
“Freshest poke bowl around!! We went here for the first time after hearing great things and loved it. The fish and toppings were extremely fresh, more than most places we’ve been to in the area. We ordered the Salmon Lover bowl and made our own both were great! Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.“
“had this originally in Flushing, NY. tried the pineapple tea w nata jelly. very refreshing and the jelly was delicious w a nice crunchy texture.so good that I got it again later in Secaucus, NJ. this time was the peach tea w nata jelly. it was still very delicious!disclaimer, they may be a chain but they each make it differently. the nata jelly in NY was shorter, rectangular shape while NJ is longer, like shaven coconut. both were still amazing. would definitely go again!picture: pineapple tea w nata jelly“
“We went to the city to pick up family, and my husband wanted to eat. OMG, the chicken wings and drumsticks were exceptional. Double battered fried chicken ?. Crisp, however so juicy and NOT dry. The chicken is made to order and that keeps it FRESH. The dipping sauces were so flavorful too. Tried the kimchi and it didn't disappoint. We live in Westchester and look forward to driving to NYC soon.“
“This kind of donut is not the same thing you are getting at DD or Krispy Kreme. It is a rice batter and has a really unique and tasty flavor. The topping are also very good too and add a lot. However, this location has sales that help support the local school systems and I really appreciate their community involvement. Bravo!“
“Two visits and 2 for 2 on the quality. Locally owned and run. Clean tables, swept floor, friendly knowledgeable service. This store is what Starbucks used to be in terms of excellent coffee drinks and delicious pastries (some from Balthazar) including a waffle croissant creation called croffle. Nice place to enjoy a cup of Joe and chill or get some work do“
“Hawaii Poke impressed me with its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Their variety of toppings allows for unique combinations, and the service has always been fast and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality and originality in their dishes!Dietary restrictions: I can always customize my dish to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which is crucial for me. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly. I'll definitely be back!“
“Wow! That Popcorn Chicken Has to be The BEST I’ve ever had in my life, and almost safe to say might be For the rest of it! Chicken was Juicy and Fresh and Full of crunch and flavor. I got the Pomegranate Slushy and it was PPERFECT! He told me it would be a bit sour before ordering to make sure I was ok with that, I find that Very Key to a Great food spot Making sure the customer Understands and is Satisfied with the Order. I will be Returning %100! THANK YOU“

“I selfishly want to keep this place a little secret, but I know it's not right to do and so I must share my thoughts and quick review so that you may enjoy it too. My go-to coffee is usually black and nothing else. Instead I opted to try their "Hot Chai latte"and a choice of oat milk, half/half and milk and other options. I went with the half/half and It was absolutely delicious. Groundwork's Cafe is just the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself with their many food and drink options. The energy and vibe is exactly what I like to surround myself in. The cafe is extremely clean all around!!!! The staff members are beyond friendly and welcoming. There's off street meter parking and town meter parking lots within a short walking distance. What I ordered: Hot chai latte Chicken Colombian empanadas A small cup of Tomato Soup I LOVED IT ALL! My NEW FAVORITE PLACE and I'm looking forward to going back.“
“Just had one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life from here, So delicious! my husband and I got the beef pepperoni pizza and the Taro milk boba tea, both so good! and they are the nicest kindest people, truly good company, atmosphere and the food is amazing! and halal! This place is definitely a must try! can't wait to try other menu items“

“I reviewed this place when it first opened and it was amazing and well needed in the community and it is still an amazing place. Previous comment about treating people of color different has not been my experience as a person of color. They are always friendly and extremely respectful and they even remember my name. Again I love this place.“
“This is the best bubble tea in NJ. The pearls here have the best texture I've experienced, and the brown sugar milk tea is the tastiest! The staff is always friendly, and the store itself is cute. In the warm season, you can sit outside and look at the water.“
“I’ve been to this place twice and I’ve enjoyed the Frosty Bubble Waffles! I loved the waffle part and the staff are extremely friendly and meticulous to detail! The bubble tea is extremely good, I tried both thai and milk tea and both were good! The workers are nice and very efficient.“
“We absolutely love and are obsessed with their bubble teas, they are so fresh and delicious and the flavors they have are amazing. My favorite one is the dirty milk sugar tea and I always order extra syrup. I have tried it in other places and I have not really liked it at all so I'm happy to always come back to this place in order the best bubble tea around. Staff is nice and quick and they are always busy but they always work fast.“
“Very cute place for bubble tea. The service was great and very happy to help with our selections. I was able to get the green tea with milk, and it was so good!!!! Plenty of parking. Seating can be limited. They have so many great flavors and seasonal options.“
“The smoothie that I had in years! Service is really friendly too and they are open to your request. They also give good recommendations for drinks especially you are looking for health regiments. They also have good bubble tea too! I personally get myself a strawberry smoothie because their strawberries are fresh! They got good healthier options too! So I definitely recommend if you love smoothies, bubble tea, protein shakes or other healthy regiments.“
“I'm all about trying new things and during a random stroll in Englewood I walked into Gong Cha. It was a quiet afternoon and so it wasn't too busy but I've always wanted to try the drinks they were advertising. From the minute I walked in I was greeted by the staff member who allowed me to take my time reviewing the menu to finalize my decision. I ended up going with the passionfruit green tea and I promise you, you won't regret trying it! It was so tasteful and the fact I got to decide my sugar levels within it was great. It was actually a bit comical when asked what sugar level I wanted because the level wording confused me but the staff member educated me on what she meant and I was super excited to try my drink. It was super refreshing and thirst quenching and I highly recommend it if you're in the area to try it out.“
“I was never a big fan of bubble tea until I stopped into Boba Land. The staff was really friendly and even asked me what I'm into to recommend me some bubble tea flavors. I was actually impressed on how good the teas were. I'd definitely recommend!!“
“I came here for the first time last night. I’ve been to the other restaurants with the same name I have to say I think the atmosphere here is better it’s bigger and it’s just more comfortable. The waitress was nice and speak much English but she knew what I wanted. I ordered the combo with ramen soup & teriyaki chicken. It came with white rice.. I was very hungry so I ate everything. I love the broth of the soup. It’s very delicious. It was cold last night so this really hit the spot. They have plenty of parking and Plenty of seats. I highly recommend this restaurant for Ramen..Parking: there are a lot of parking spots. No problem to get a spot here.“
“They are insanely generous with their toppings which most bubble tea spots in the area are not (gong cha in Montclair, kung fu tea in Montclair, cozy tea in cedar grove/verona border). Worth taking the drive to the mall just to grab a bubble tea from here.“
“Had my first bubble tea today. It was very good. Normally I get Poke bowls with ginger dressing. Just started getting tofu as one of my proteins. It is some of the best tofu I’ve had. Was there for a college interview. Without asking, they turned down the music which we appreciated.“
“Adorable little spot I found on an online search for bubble tea/boba spots around where I was traveling in the area and this came up as the highest rated! Absolutely delicious, made fresh, not too sweet, too heavy, too watered down or too anything - PERFECT! So tasty, adorable inside (I definitely wanna come back and chill inside or grab a tea and do some work on my laptop in there) and ultra friendly customer service! Very calm and relaxed! Plenty of seating as well! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back! PS you can order ahead on their website for pickup - seamless and easy!“
“Dropped by here on a weekend with my party a few months back. There are plenty of drink options to choose from, but I ultimately went with the Rose Jasmine Milk Tea (~$7). Drink was large. In terms of the taste, it was decent, though not too memorable.“
“I come here plenty of times. It's always prepared quickly and deliciously. Today, I accidentally spilled one of my drinks leaving and Sandra came to the rescue. She cleaned it up quickly, offered me another, and told me not to worry. She's a great worker, my hero of the day, and deserves a great wage!!!“
“This is one of my favorite tea shops in the Times Square area. I have tried others nearby but Modern area is great for me. I love the aesthetics inside and how much seating is available. They also have outlets if you're looking to have some ME time but charge your phone haha. I got the brown sugar boba milk (my usual) and it never disappoints. I got it with oat milk which is just .50 extra and it was creamy and delicious“
“Bubble tea and cookies are really delicious!!The staff are always friendly, and even if there are any complaints, they are resolved very quickly! This place also sells wine, so it's a great place to chat with friends while enjoying wine or dessert.I like the cafe atmosphere.“
“Went here for their mochinuts but also got their k-hot dogs(rice hot dogs) my god they were sooo good. We got the regular and hot cheetos and they were amazing! Too bad i forgot to take pictures... but do try them if you're in the area. Super nice staff. Clean store. Only con would be finding parking around here on a weekend.“
“FINALLY a solid taqueria within walking distance! We got chorizo and carnitas tacos - both excellent. Carnitas had a deep, meaty flavor, chorizo was flavorful. Green salsa was awesome, red salsa was a nice heat but not as much flavor. Got a lime cucumber agua fresca too, refreshing and not too sweet. There's only 3 tacos to an order (double tortilla) so they're not cheap, but it's enough food. The restaurant itself looks pretty nice - clean, bright, nicely decorated. We'll 100% be back.“
“Nice bright space with large poke bowl portions. I went for the first time recently, having been to another local poke spot many times. While I enjoy both places, this one definitely won on portion, which was my main complaint about the other one (too small). A very nice surprise!Order at the counter or on their self-order screen. Counter order-taker was friendly and cheerful. Food came out within 5 minutes and I sat at a table in the window. Was the only one dining-in, although they were doing a decent pick-up business.I ordered the spicy bowl and it was excellent. It comes with a generous portion of spicy tuna, spicy kani (crab stick) and spicy shrimp over rice, cucumbers, jalapeño, seaweed and tobiko. It looks like the have a nice selection of appetizers, as well. I will try that and bring the family next time!“
“Worth the hype! I only came in to get one of their viral gingerbread boba cups and honestly it did not disappoint. Beside the adorable cups, the drinks were so good. They have so many options to choose from drinks, milk, sugar level, to toppings. The shop was very clean and neat and service was fast. Overall it was a 10/10!“
“Late-night hibachi chicken togo.Clear soup, lo mein noodles, egg fried rice, with white 'yummy' sauce over hibachi chicken and veggies. Only $15 before taxOpen till 10PM Friday-Saturday, 9:30PM for the rest of the week. I usually come here for poké bowls but definitely recommend trying the rest of the menu“
“When I got there the place was gorgeous and it had 3 cool cabins where you could enjoy your time with your friends. The customer service was fantastic, and i was welcomed by Alex who was really nice and helpful in my order. I would definitely come back again because of the customer service Alex provided and the cool place.“
“One of the best places for Korean food and bubble tea I have tried. I got their famous CUPBOB and it was so delicious. The staff was great as well. I will definitely be going again and ordering delivery. It's an experience that you have to experience yourself.“
“I ordered their Chicken Katsu Sando and Tamago Sando and Vegetable Dumplings for lunch on DoorDash. Although the delivery was late by an hour, the food is still pleasantly surprised! The Sandos come in large servings and taste great. The dumplings are mediocre. Would love to visit to try them hot:)“
“First time customer this week. Usually hit Sakura Bana in Ridgewood but read the reviews and decided to try it. Small strip mall shop that took my pick up order. Got $150 of fish/sushi for family and loved it. Reviews are spot on - very good fish - excellent service. I will 100% be back and glad I found it. Called in order - went straight to get a bottle of sake across street at the liquor store and it was ready when I walked in. Better take out option than most in Ridgewood/Glen Rock.“
“Employees were very friendly :) they are have many selections on their menu. I ended up getting the Mango cream cheese drink. And I also got a chocolate mocha donut with chocolate rice crispy on top. It was soft and delicious definitely coming back. They also give you a little card for everytime you visit they stamp it and on your 10th visit you get the drink for free.“
“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“
