I got a brown sugar latte with tapioca balls and was just given a cup of milk with hard tapioca balls. Not impressed at all.

Surprisingly good given the relatively low rating! Make sure that you order from the right kiosk/don't wait in the wrong line; the line for the tang hu lu is always super long, and it's very easy to get the two lines confused. We got a jasmine green tea, and the tea flavor was quite potent. The pearls also had a good bounce to them. It did taste a bit watered down though. Overall, happy that we discovered this place! Will definitely be back when craving boba!

I came here with a friend after dinner for a place to round out the night. It's a small place with no seating, just a bar/standing area against the wall. I ordered the jasmine tea with fresh fruit, which was solid! It's a nice refreshing tea loaded with apple and orange slices, grapes, and other fruits. It also comes with a small wooden fork taped to the side of the cup to pick up these fruits when you're done with the drink. The ice in the drink keeps the fruit crunchy, which makes this a great drink for a hot day! Overall, it's a solid place but nothing spectacular that puts it over other places in the area.

We went there for the first time . We took the hot chocolate cream brule tea. It was not out of the world and also expensive. Boba were delicious by themselves. However, out of curiosity we took a mochi donut. Server was so nice, helped me chose one. It was definitely expensive but so delicious. 100 times better than normal donut. Will go there again.

Came here craving a drink while in Koreatown. As I looked through the menu in one of the kiosks, I noticed how incredibly expensive a lot of the drinks were. The cheapest one was the Handmade Brown Sugar Latte, which was around six dollars, while everything else was at seven or eight There was no seating, but the service was relatively quick. There's a window that separates you and the barista, and you'll be able to get the drink from them there. The aesthetic of the place was alright, with dark wood and three chairs that worked well as backdrops for taking photos of your drink. The Handmade Brown Sugar Latte itself was okay, but I don't know if it was worth six dollars. The flavor itself wasn't really too strong, and overall it was a bit lackluster. I don't know how their desserts are, but I'm hoping those are better than their drinks.

Pretty good place! I was in Koreatown walking around and my friend told me to come visit this place for their drinks. It's a small store and you order through a kiosk. I ended up getting the Strawberry Latte w/ Panna Cotta and I appreciated the decadency and fruitiness of the drink. The panna cotta definitely gave the drink it's creamier, denser texture and I thought that combination was really good. I appreciated that they used real strawberries for this and you can really taste it too. I genuinely enjoyed this drink and I would get it again. When I'm back in New York, this will be my stop to come back to in Koreatown! But I would definitely get the strawberry latte if you're here.

One of my favorite places in k-town for their cute panna cotta bottled drinks. It's a small, grab and go place that's also conjoined with another Korean corn dog shop and a mochi donuts shop. Once you enter, you'll need to order at one of the three kiosks located on the right side of the establishment. After entering your phone number, you'll receive a text notification when your drink is ready. Note that there are multiple kiosks, including one outside (which I believe is specifically for the corn dog shop.) (if you see lines form on busy days, make sure you're on the correct line). Service tends to be faster on weekdays, while weekends are typically busier. I recently tried their new, limited-time corn milk tea and absolutely loved the concept and presentation. They were generous with the corn and cream, defs a must-try if you're a fan of sweet, creamy corn with a subtle tea flavor, or if you're simply looking to try something new. Another thing to note is that this drink feels more lukewarm than hot after being mixed with the colder corn cream. Highly recommend their panna cotta drinks (especially the classic milk tea version) - don't forget to break up the panna cotta before drinking.

This place is really cute! They have lots of fun flavors to choose from and I really do like their bottles. Only thing is it’s kind of a long wait time.
It’s usually packed but other then that it’s worth it. The corn dogs chefs kiss as well as the doughnuts

this drink genuinely did something to me idk my life has been brightened and I am enlightened. I waited for the ice to melt to consume its watery remains- every last taro ball and square millimeter of chocolate in the water. And then I sipped on the straw to taste a semblance of flavor that remained in the airMachi Machi chocolate creme brulee tea combines my favorite dessert flavors, black tea and chocolate. I got it with mini taro balls and lite sugar because too sweet makes it impossible to appreciate the depth and different notes of flavor! No drink before this one has made me want to lick the remaining ice.Yes unforch it was $10 but I enjoyed every second of this experience and will be back for more

First time trying their product after seeing so many pictures of their bottle on social media. I tried their seasonal special, the Mango Cream Smoothie with Jelly Pearl and Grapefruit Jelly, and it was really good! I don't like cream cheese in my drinks but wanted to try the original recipe without adjusting anything. You have to stir the drink and without any space, adding in the straw, you have to take a quick sip so that things don't overflow as you try to stir it. The bottom is a solid jelly so you have to really mix and stab the jelly at the bottom. It's good and all but I don't think this was worth the price of almost $10 for the drink. With that price, you'd think the bottle was made of glass but it's plastic... I've gone to places that sold their drinks in bottle for about $7-9 and at least that was glass.

There's not much Machi Machi in Asia anymore, so I was surprised when I found this bubble tea shop in Koreatown, NYC. It's been in my list, but haven't tried it yet in Asia. Finally, I could find this first Machi Machi in the US.In here, this global franchise bubble tea shop from Taiwan not only sells the drinks, but some snacks as well. So, it's more suitable for to go. Firstly, we need to do the self order and payment kiosk through the machine, after that, just wait until our drink is ready.Machi Machi serves variant of fresh tea, milk tea, cream cheese foam, latte, and fresh fruits category. For the drinks here, we could choose the sugar level.Here are what we tried :Strawberry Latte with Panna Cotta ($8.45)This is one of Machi's favorite. This drink can be served in a bottle. The fresh and not sour strawberry latte is served with the panna cotta in the bottom.Shizuoka Matcha Milk Tea with Panna Cotta ($8.45)This one can be served in a bottle, too. The creamy and thick matcha is served with the panna cotta.For both of the drink above, we ordered with regular sugar, but they taste less sweet.Recommended refreshing drink to have!It's suitable for the dessert as well ?
