“Yum yum yummm. As a Taiwanese person, I loveeee the basil mayo sauce with the large popcorn chicken. It’s a total delight after a long workout at the climbing gym too. I also reccomend the ru rou fan (marinated pork) on a bed of rice a with half an egg and scallions“
“We go here regularly & we’re always amazed of how fresh their products are! You could actually taste the freshness of the mango & other flavors! Me & my kids loved to order the mango, pomelo, sago & mango ice cream! One of the best!“
“Went to Pata Cafe for lunch in Elmhurst, Queens, NY. Looking for authentic Thai? You'll find dishes here that are hard to find in the ??. NY Times and Michelin recommended for casual authentic Thai fare.Had Thai Lychee tea and Yum Woon Sen. Sweet and complex flavor for the tea. Spicy, tangy, earthy, and herby flavors for the dish. Too full for dessert! The wife had the beef soup.Only seats 12 people max. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of free street parking on a Saturday. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Most dishes dairy freeParking: Found parking right in front immediately on a Saturday for lunch“
“I work 12 hour shifts near here and I’m always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I’ve tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. ??“
“Top mochi doughnuts, with beautiful texture and flavor, our favorite was the ube (not too sweet hehe) and the taro boba oat milk latte was so good i ordered a second one. Nice clean spot to hang out and have a sweet treat.Super appreciate the non dairy options too as lactose and i are currently frenemies.“
“OOPS TEA IS THE BEST IN BUSHWICK!!!!! staff is so friendly, attentive, and overall amazing! the tofu pockets are UNREAL and you can tell they’re made with love <3 not to mention the bubble tea is so amazing and refreshing. also the ambience and decorations are SO cute. definitely recommend! ?????“
“Pad thai and thai iced tea were very good. Not quite as good as the best in Thailand, but better than most places you find in the US.Very filling too. I finished the plate, but probably ate too much.The tea was a tad on the sweet side but still very drinkable. Staff very friendly.Be careful on the tip. Their machine puts 30%! in the default position.“
“I stopped by because the posters on the outside drew me in. It's a small and cutely decorated boba and ice cream shop. There was only 1 person working at the time but I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Since it's small, there are not many places to sit, so most people do to-go orders. I ordered an item from each category: * Grapefruit Green Tea Boba - 9/10 - I liked the grapefruit pulp that was mixed into the boba, because of the different textures. The 50% sugar was the perfect amount of sweetness. * Almond Chocolate Croffle - 7/10 - The croffle tasted a bit stale and it was cold, so I don't think they make it fresh. But, I did like the toppings. * Lychee Rose Ice Cream - 8/10 - I liked the small pieces of lychee throughout the ice cream and the rose flavor was not overbearing. Overall, I would come again to try the boba floats. I think they shine more for their drinks than anything else.“
“They were nice, I found it cuz I was getting a facial not too far from here & just happened to find it. I wanted to try something different so I tried the mango milk tea & it was good. There were people that came in after me & everyone ordered the waffles. I wasn't in the mood for waffles but I asked if it was good, they said it's really good. I saw a connect 4 & some books so I'm assuming you can sit and enjoy while playing or reading. When I go back I'll try the waffles.“
“It's a cozy, atmospheric place. The service is great and pleasant. Very welcoming vibe and cozy place to sit and enjoy. Staffs are polite and doesn't feel rushed like other places. Thai food is always a healthy and great selection of bubble tea.Kid-friendliness: Ambiance is playful with comfortable lighting and seating.“
“Delicious! Stumbled upon this place when I was searching for a quick bite. I ordered delivery and the food came very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised how big and hefty the bowls were! We got the bulgogi rice bowl and a make your own bowl with fried chicken. Both had generous heaping portions of meat. I would say my appetite is fairly large and I couldn't even finish half of my bowl! The bulgogi was tender and juicy, and the vegetables that came with my bowl were delicious. The make your own bowl was also phenomenal! The cucumber kimchi and pickled turnips were some of my favorites. Definitely adding this place to my regular rotation of meals and I can't wait to have it again!“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
“Tea is great. Kenny will work with you to customize a drink, or make something you dream up, but do yourself a favor and try something from their imaginative and thought-through signature menu.Kenny is a real one. Service with a smile and chill conversation. A natural part of the neighborhood, this place will one day be a local fixture.Beautiful, clean, aesthetic atmosphere in this little space in Chinatown. Nice place to sit and relax on a rainy day or catch some shade and a cool drink in the dog days of summer.“
“Their noodles are freshly made, live, by a real noodle chef. It may look like a Japanese ramen place from outside, given all these shabby and confusing lanterns, but it is actually a really good Chinese noodle restaurant. My personal fav is pulled round noodles, either pan fried or in soups. The noodles are chewy and cooked perfectly. I would say their takeout is not as good as dine-in because the noodles are cooked a bit more being steamed in the container. So if you want to try, please come in-person. I hope this place is here to stay in this neighborhood for the long haul because it doesn't seem to have enough customers.“
“Guess I got myself addicted to this delicious gem in town !Best bubble tea I had!Yes, it’s Kosher andincredibleThank you to the owner for coming and catering to our communityCan’t wait to be backAuthentic boba made fresh, every hour on the hour !!!Prices are very fairI will be hooked and coming back during the hot days ? can’t wait to bring all my friends to try it“
“This is THE smoothie place to go - hands down!I’ve been to at least 10 smoothie places in NYC (primarily Manhattan) and never been more satisfied with the drink or service than here. Honestly no other smoothie places can compare. I can order my drink within the moment I step inside (the workers are highly attentive to customers) and wait less than 5 minutes until my smoothie’s been made.Very smooth, no chunks, absolutely addictively delicious. My top choice is always the Lychee Valentine, followed by Avomazing or Smooth Avocado, but you really cannot go wrong with any of their choices.“
“This place has it all. Great food, amazing selection of coffee, great service and atmosphere.Whether you come here to work or just spend some time the vide is there. Seating is available for the most part but sometimes it gets crowded. Also, good options for seating if someone prefers to chill on armchair next to the heater and just read something.Just a side note, the coffee can be improved a little compared to what other nearby places offer.Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian options to choose from.“
“Has its own entrance and Manu, but is connected indoors to the neighboring ramen shop. Extensive menu that includes hot food appetizers. Has the typical toppings and requisite menu options for your standard bubble tea shop and good flavors.“
“Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around“
“Not count as cheap eat though, but I really like the vibes here, it’s pretty like local Cantonese style. And the food taste pretty good though, I like the cheese pork cutlet and the Hong Kong style milk tea.The staffs are really nice here, tips are not mandatory but I did leave some tips to them.“
“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.“
“What a nice little snack shop hidden on 164th street between the 7-11 and pizza place. Recommended for kids. Got some super sweet strawberry bubble tea. And cake. And a macaroon. They also have some real food snack options like French fries and chicken bites. Didn’t try the stuffed animal vending machines this time.Kid-friendliness: Stuffed animals on the wall for the kiddies to look at. And sweet dessert foods.“
“This is a very cute shop, my hubby and I took a long drive here but it was well worth it. The minute I walked in, I was so happy seeing and smelling their delicious mochi donuts. They have a delicious selection on teas as well. If I lived closer, I'd go there every day. The service was great, the woman who helped us was so kind and friendly.“
“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.“
“Excellent in all its aspects, the only thing is that the place is a little small, but this does not really matter nor does it affect the quality of their products, the service is very good and fast, especially Annie's attention ?Thai Milk Tea recommended“
“I was really craving a mango pomelo sago and it's kind of hard to find at boba shops so glad they had it was really good! I did 50% sugar and was still sweet. I ordered the pork rice dish but unfortunately they were out of rice so I got it over noodles which were still really good (a little bit salty tho).I'm curious to try their other drinks like the taro or chestnut ones.“
“i love fiftylan bubble tea, it is my go-to everytime i am in the area! their class golden bubble milk tea is my usual but their yakults are also delicious!! the only thing i do not like about this place is that it feels as if there is no ventilation in this place and they leave the door closed.“
“So far everything I've ordered from here is delicious. My friends and I love the Gelato, macaroons, their keylime pie is so rich. Overall great experience ordering - I have never been in store for the experience but that may change soon.“
“The environment in this cafe was calm and relaxed. This is a great place for you to finish up any work you need and the type of music gives a nice cafe vibes. The food I order was good and I would definitely order again. The mayo spam kimbap was flavorful and I devoured that meal like in five minutes. I would totally recommend this cafe.“
“We love coming to this location. They have a huge selection of plushies and it wasn’t too hard to win the minis. We saw a couple get real lucky, winning almost all the ball ones in just a couple of tries.Don’t skip the popcorn chicken, honey butter fries, and whipped boba. So good!“
“I absolutely love this place. I come here once or twice a day. The smoothies are excellent. My favorites are peach’s delight and peanut butter punch. Most times I add some combination of mango, coconut and/or spinach to the peanut butter one. I haven’t tried the juices or açaí bowls yet but I’ve heard many great reviews from people I trust. The customer service in this tiny gem of a store is also A1. They care about their customers, I can tell. I hope you guys stay open for a very long time.“
“I'd give 10 stars if I could. I went on a Saturday when there was a bit of a rush and everyone was so kind! The quality of the food was amazing, crispy veggies and HUGE shrimp. I hope they're able to relocate when market line closes.“
“Very nicely decorated place. I got a Oreo taro milk tea and it was great. I forgot to change the sugar level and surprisingly it isn't that sweet. They were nice to answer any questions that I have. I think they are most famous for slush.“
“I got the pork soup dumplings and the steamed pork buns. Pork buns (3 pieces) are generous portions and super pillowy. Soup dumplings (5 pieces) are really great. Both served piping hot, which I love. Also, they're very, very friendly in there. I'm so happy to know this place is here, but also so mad at myself for not going sooner. My order came to around $20, I think, which I believe is fair. I didn't leave hungry, either. Would recommend, and will definitely go back.“
“First and foremost I want to thank this bakery for getting my order in last minute. I order a unicorn cake 3 DAYS before the event, and they did an amazing job! Great customer service the moment I came in to pick up the cake. On the side my sibling and I got a brown bear chocolate cake which we loved, we also got mix fruit mango sago which was refreshing and tasty. The seating area is very clean and cute. Thank you so much JM Cake boutique, I will definitely be coming back for future orders !!!“
“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!“
“A lot of places don't live up to the hype. That is not the case with Surreal. From the second we walked in, we were greeted, and asked if it was our first visit. The employee that helped us was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We were offered samples and suggestions. Our customer experience alone was worth the trip. The Thai milk tea was the best I have ever had. I was offered a sample of the taro ice cream (not something I would have ordered on my own) and WOW. It might have been the best ice cream I have had. Needless to say I ordered one. Check it out, my entire family enjoyed their orders too. Absolutely worth the trip.“
“Their bubble teas are consistently delicious, and the customizable options allow you to create your perfect drink. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and the cozy ambiance makes it a great place to catch up with friends or enjoy a quiet moment alone. Don't miss out on trying their refreshing drinks!“
“This is one of the most aesthetic dessert places I've been to. Great for friends and family to gather, have a chat and get some yummy dessert. I visited in winter so some of the items I.e. durian was served frozen. Most of the items were pretty good, only item I would pass is the mango sticky rice because the rice wasn't sweetened and the sauce on the side did not absorb when poured over.“
“Omg this place is literally so cute. You gotta check it out they have so many dessert options that you can show your friends and family and treat them. You could also take out and buy these sweet treats as a gift to someone. The inside is also really nice and the people who work there are also pretty chill. Check this place out for some nice vibes and dessert :)“
“My go-to bubble tea shop on Fresh Pond Road, and a great place to get a bite too. Love their selection of drinks. My daughter enjoys the strawberry mint mojito (no alcohol in it) with bursting bubbles, and I enjoy their selection of freshly brewed teas. Everything feels fresh. The sushi burritos are delicious and my friends are a fan of the waffles as well.“
“I got the chicken karaage and the avocado tea(sadly didn't take a picture, very aesthetically pleasing though). Both of them were really good and fresh, worth the price. Would definitely go again. Store has nice decoration and was very clean.“
“Fantastic delivery packaging. A cooler bag with individual boxes. I was impressed.When it comes to the crepe cakes, I didn’t Iove it. Maybe I’m not the target audience. Asian desserts are often not very sweet. But this was tasted like it really has no sugar in it. I got matcha, chocolate roll, and mango. Rhe three barely had any distinct taste.“
“Juicy Cube is the one of the best juice spots in NY. The juice, smoothies and açaí bowls are consistently excellent, and the warm and friendly staff keep me coming back. The orders are prepared quickly. It’s worth to stop by and grab a drink, and you won’t be disappointed! Love this place! Highly recommend!“
“Really thankful to have this spot within delivery distance of me! Their miso soup has a rich flavor and they have a 2-4-1 special which means I have leftovers for the next day. Their steamed pork buns are small but tasty. Their sushi rolls have been fresh every time!“
“I usually come here for their boba and today I was craving a Vietnamese sandwich so I got the bbq pork sandwich and let me say I am surprise at how good it is! I was a little spectacle about ordering a sandwich in a boba shop but I must say the bbq pork sandwich was delicious. It was so flavorful and with a good amount of spice ! They service is quick and the staff are super helpful and friendly. There is a small heated outdoors dining area for you to sit also! I will be back to try the signature bbq pork sandwich next time!“
“When it comes to boba, some people prefer milk-based drinks and some, like me, prefer the fruitier tea-based drinks. HeyTea has quickly surpassed Debutea and become my new favorite place for a fruity afternoon pick-me-up. The space is pretty small, but the team works quickly to prepare your drinks and you can always order ahead and pick up in store. I have tried the mulberry boom tea ($6.99) and their signature cheese grape boom tea ($7.49) so far and they have tasted fantastic. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients (as they do include fruit pulp at the bottom of the drinks) and the quality of the tea brewed. I believe they were the first to introduce cheese foam to the market, which does add a sweet, slightly savory cream-cheese-like taste to the fruit teas but in my opinion, I think is unnecessary. The boom teas have a light slushie consistency as the tea and fruit is blended together before being served atop a generous scoop of fruit pulp at the bottom. The grape boom tea, in particular, also comes with slipper little jelly bites which add so much textural delight to the drink. Overall, I've had some delicious drinks so far and look forward to trying out the entire menu at HeyTea. I really hope they open another location downtown soon!“
“This is a wonderful little spot in south slope! Cute space, wonderful coffee and pastries, a block from the Prospect avenue r stop and the owners are really sweet. What more could we ask for? If you're nearby definitely stop on and support a great local business! ☕️“
“This was the winner of my little bubble tea showdown. It was a close call, but their tea led them to victory. My theory is that bubble tea should taste like tea. Even though this tiny hole in the wall is off the beaten path, they are most definitely getting the job done.“
“One of my fav Zabiha Certified Halal Asian restaurants; loved the vibe the colors the food & the service . I finally found a restaurant which I can give 5 starsThe funny thing I never been to the area before & still had no trouble finding the restaurant.Altho the restaurant is small but it didn't bother me at all. The restroom is very clean & huge; loved that! They say if the restroom of a restaurant is real clean then the kitchen is pretty clean too !The server was very knowledgeable, helpful, went out of his way to take care of me. I Soo appreciate thatNow let's talk about the food; it's really good! The price was reasonable too. I don't mind paying little extra if the food is great! I ordered steamed shrimp momo, tsos chicken , beef lo main to take home for my son. Because I took a lunch menu it came with a spring roll. I gotta say it was one of the best spring roll I had. I also got a bubble tea, it was ok, price was really great !If you are near that area you definitely need to try their food, trust me you will not regret! And the best part it's Zabiha Halal certified I am pretty sure I will be back, for me traveling all the way three will be worth when I come try another dish!“
