“Delicious dumplings. They're so good. Also, I recommend the garlicky cucumbers for a light & tasty appetizer. Very clean, cozy, polite staff. 5 stars for sure.“
“Soothr LIC delivered an exceptional dining experience for our 8th wedding anniversary. The vibrant atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between high-energy and intimate, making it a stellar spot to mark a special occasion.
Our server, Jelly, was incredible from start to finish—attentive, warm, and seamless with her recommendations, ensuring the evening felt like a true celebration.
The Meal
* Mop Dang Puff: A fantastic start to the meal. The pastry was impossibly flaky, packed with rich, deeply seasoned filling that set a high bar for the rest of the night.
* Had Yai Chicken: Perfectly executed. The fried chicken achieved that crisp outer crunch while remaining tender and juicy inside, highlighted by fried shallots and authentic southern Thai spices.
* Crab Fried Rice: Generous portions of sweet lump crab meat folded into fragrant, perfectly separated rice. It had that distinct wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor that elevates simple fried rice into a standout dish.
* Panang Duck Lychee: The highlight of the night. The rich, creamy Panang curry sauce had just the right amount of heat, beautifully offset by the juicy sweetness of the lychee. The duck was rich and tender with crispy skin, binding all the sweet and savory flavors together.
Soothr LIC brought the heat, flavor, and top-notch hospitality for our milestone night. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate eight years!“

“I love Heytea and this place was great. This time I tried the brown sugar milk boba without the tea since I can’t have caffeine. It was really good. I think the milk was thicker than I expected. I wish I got 25% sugar instead of half but it still tasted good. My friend got the mango coconut boom and she liked it.“

“This is a hidden gem in the Lower East Side. They make pretty good boba but I want to talk about the interior. The nostalgia in here is amazing. Everything looks like it was personally selected. The the curation of this place is sick. I got the Grapefruit Delight. I was skeptical of trying it because I thought it would be tart but it was actually smooth. No tartness at all. With amount of lychee. Not to discredit how good the boba but this spot is fire to me and I would just chill in here if I could. Whoever did the decor needs a raise lol. Shout out to my guy Kenny great service and hospitality.“

“I was in the fifth Avenue and bumped into this Boba tea/coffee shop.. it was morning and I wanted to have a fresh coffee. Went through the menu and wanted to try the tiramisu latte… great location very close to Empire State and other things.. The interiors was actually very good… it was huge and there were a few tables to sit and drink.. service was also good..
Pricing was OK.. was about 8 to 9 dollars for a latte, including tips.. slightly higher than regular coffee shops, but good for once in a while, flavored coffee.. tiramisu latte was actually very good.. He did put some small quantity of rum on it and it tasted so good… also tried taro boba and it was good . Looks like a Taiwan based coffee shop… it was surely different and refreshing.. good experience.. 4 stars ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is great and has amazing prices. Ever since I moved to Ridgewood from Arkansas it’s been really hard to find things that are good at a good price. The workers are also so friendly, welcoming, amazing, nice, and also handsome. The gentleman that served me, I recall his name being Nathaniel, was very patient with me as I tried to figure out what I would like from this amazing menu. I will hundred percent come back and I’m so excited.“

“I got what was maybe the best strawberry matcha ive had in the city- at least top 3. Sour strawberry, earthy matcha. I got it at 30% sweet and could have done even less. It was unfortunately almost $10 before tip, which is par for the course given the neighborhood. Giving it 5 stars anyways“

“WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country.

The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!“

“Kung Fu Tea is an amazing restaurant that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. I ordered the Oreo Wow with syrup and Mangonada and they certainly live up to their name. It came out quickly and was of fantastic taste. Donny is very polite and kind, and she was also helpful in giving delicious recommendations. The atmosphere was very welcoming and immersive as well. It was a 10/10 experience.“

“Worker is very kind. Got the large 3Q milk tea and popcorn chicken, only $12. Generous with the popcorn chicken portion and it smells mad good. If you buy a drink, any choice of snack is $4.99 only. Super tasty, definitely check it out. Not expensive like the other boba shops in Chinatown.“

“Ruth was so nice to me and my friends,the poke bowls here strike that rare balance between generous and fresh — the tuna practically glistens, cut into thick, clean cubes that taste like they were swimming that morning, while the salmon has a buttery richness that holds its own against the tangy ponzu drizzle. Build-your-own bowls are a joy rather than a chore: the rice is properly seasoned (not an afterthought), the mango and edamame add real brightness, and the crispy garlic and furikake toppings earn their place instead of feeling like filler. Portions are big enough to leave you satisfied without the heavy, sluggish feeling you get from a lot of quick-service lunch spots, and the prices feel fair for the quality of fish you're getting. My only gripe is the seating — a handful of cramped stools near the window — but honestly, this place is worth getting as takeout and eating somewhere with a view. It's become my go-to for a fast lunch that still feels like a treat.“

“Bubble tea was delicious, ordering was a little confusing - I used the self-order screen but there was no one at the counter to complete the transaction.
It's a small store so I waited outside and walked around for ~10-15 minutes, went back in, and was finally attended to. Not sure why the other worker didn't help me out or give me any indication what was going on, pretty sure other customers that came after me got their drinks.
Kind of annoying but at least the Asian guy was attentive and competent and like I said the tea was delicious. I'd go back again.
Also, they charge a small fee for cards so bring some cash.“
“The bubble tea here was amazing, and the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful! Ethan, Leo, and Ben provided incredible service and helped create such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. The drinks were delicious, perfectly priced, and I truly enjoyed every sip. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Had their Jasmine Green Grape and it was okay. More of tea taste with some green grapes but refreshing enough for a hot summer day. They did have some other interesting selections on their menu like the Mangosteen Iced Tea that I wouldn't mind trying one day.“

“Reviewed mainly for Bubble Tea :
- Flavor: Fair selection available. I get Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea. The tea has nice hints of bitterness. Texture-wise, more like a tea diluted with milk than the creaminess of an incorporated milk tea.
- Boba: Lower amount of Boba. Although the Boba has nice elasticity, they're too small so you can usually only chew once.
- Price: An average bubble tea (7$ overall, 2026) compared to what I consider the average price (7-8$)
- Overall - it takes the average up a notch for an overall nice bubble tea but doesn't have the kind of pull that would make me go out of my way to get one.
- Extra - They also serve ice cream and have an extended store area which would be fine for quick hangouts.“

“I had such a great experience at Koo Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, definitely more than enough to satisfy. The service was also excellent — very friendly, attentive, and quick. Overall, everything from the taste to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Thai food with great value and great service.“

“Boba Fries in Woodside is my favorite boba spot! The drinks are always delicious, fresh, and made with great quality ingredients. They also have amazing fries that are perfectly crispy and so flavorful—they're the perfect snack to enjoy with a boba.
The customer service is always friendly and welcoming, and the staff makes every visit a pleasant experience.
I also love their rewards program. If I'm not mistaken, after buying around 10 boba drinks, you get one free. It's a great way to reward loyal customers and keeps me coming back.
I highly recommend Boba Fries in Woodside to anyone looking for delicious boba, tasty fries, and excellent customer service!“

“It is so hard to find good coffee shops in Hell's Kitchen and this is perfect hidden gem. I've passed by this place a few times not thinking much of it and finally tried the brown sugar latte. Wow. Incredible. I'm super excited to come back and try other flavors. Staff/owners were so sweet, great vibe, and outdoor chairs made for it to be a great place for a break. (They have a great variety of different drinks)“

From classic milk teas to fruit teas and creative seasonal specials, this place truly has it all.

“Love this little snack shop designed like a food truck inside. The dogs are solid.. The pickles and relish is from next door from the pickle guys.
Eddie the owner and his family run the spot and heavily involved in the community.
He had me try three dogs.
PICKLE GUYS BOMB
Home made sauerkraut, home mustard, home made relish, pickled red onions, sweet bread .
SPICY DOG
Hot pepper relish from pickle guys
Pickled jalapeño from pickle guys
CHINATOWN DOG
Pickled daikon and sweet relish
All were solid, the spicy dog was too spicy for me but if your into heat give it a go.
They also have a variety of teas and other Asian snacks“

“Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy! Tons of folks were coming in and out for a spot I almost walked past! Extensive menu with plenty of fruit slush options (no milk), smoothies (with milk), bowls, or boba. I'd prob rec not getting the boba, since nyc is blessed with boba-specific spots lol
I just finished a workout, so I opted for their large Powerful Chia ($11), which had banana, mango, pineapple, and chia seed. I got almond milk, since they didn't have oat milk at the time. Price point was relative on par with other chains. You can add Orgain organic protein for +$1.
All ingredients are blended right in front of you, which is always great to see. Overall, would return to a Hawa!“

“Tried Wonder for the first time and I ain’t gonna lie, it was better than I expected. I got the chicken sandwich and fries, and both were fire. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and actually seasoned. Fries came out hot too. Food was ready quick, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely one of those spots I’ll hit again when I don’t feel like cooking. Easy 9/10.“

“The service at this establishment is a 10/10, I struggle with a food condition called ARFID, which makes it difficult for me to eat at new places, and they were able to make the accommodations I needed to make sure I was happy with my order, I was able to get milk without the boba and pearls. It tasted delicious, better than the normal milk I have at home, and I left with a smile! I really recommend this place!“
