For $6.50, you'll get a fair amount of lo mein with two main dishes. This is not a five-star restaurant nor does it claim to be, but for what it is, it does the job.

A great place and price for some NY-style chinese food. Worth the trouble of finding parking cause this is like the only place in the city that doesnt serve that weird philly-style chinese food

Unsanitary. No use of gloves, no hand washing after handling money. I didn't get any real vegetables. Beef was microwaved was frozen in front of me. Dirty interior. Paying $8 for Teri Kahlo beef that was mostly yellow rice is a scam. Also they had no heat and the woman said her boss didn't allow it.

I'm not sure about the food, but DO NOT GET A SMOOTHIE FROM THIS PLACE. I tried it by mistake and and for $3:50, you'd think you would get some real fruit. NOT SO... it tased very artificial and flavored like those cheap flavored drinks at a gas station or in China from a street vendor. I wouldn't pay more than 0.50cents for this crap. The place also does not look like they clean it much.

Ordered a bumble milk tea for the first time and appeared they were doing nothing more than shaking/mixing tea powder into milk. Was even more disappointed when I started sipping it. Absolute waste and disgusting. The straw didn't even fit in the lid. First and last time.

THERE WAS A COCKROACH IN MY BUBBLE TEA. This was discovered after I'd already consumed 1/2 of the drink, and thus was followed by me running to the bathroom to make myself sick. Not how I envisioned my Sunday night, or any other night for that matter. I don't need to explain how absolutely appalling and horrifying this is. My boyfriend took plenty of pictures and we are reporting them to the department of health. Disgusting. DO NOT GO HERE.

I ordered the lunch special. It was a poor excuse for fried rice, general chicken and wings. The general chicken and wings were still raw and gooey. How can they serve people undercooked food. I called the number on the menu but noone answers. Warning to whomever reads this. DO NOT EAT AT QQ CAFE. It's horrible and dangerous with all of these illnesses out there.

Impulse stop for bubble tea and I am full of regret that I didn't read fellow yelper reviews first. The drink was too sweet and boba totally mush. I couldn't finish the bubble tea, which is unheard of for me. Opposite of "Q." It's an odd combo of food and convenience store, and the food was fast food Chinese and.. sandwiches? I'm sure you'll be find buying a pack of gum or something here but otherwise... eek.

Terrible bubble tea. My friends and I went in thinking the name was really cute and wanting to try the bubble tea there. It's a good thing the four of us decided for just one of us to get one bubble tea first to taste. The bubbles had this soft weird consistency. The tea was pretty watered down was well. As soon as I took a sip, my friends could see the displeasure in my face, and decided not to order their drinks. As much as I love bubble tea, I did not finish my drink. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because I don't think its main focus is the bubble tea. They are convenient store-ish and sell random snacks. Don't think I'll be back, at least for bubble tea.

This is a small convenience store type place by the Greyhound/Chinatown bus stop that doesn't really have much going for it. We got bubble tea, which was REALLY basic and bland, and they served it in generic iced beverage cups with lids that were not designed for bubble tea straws. The lid literally caved in when we tried to stick the straw in, and the owner spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out why the hole was too small. Uh, maybe because you don't have the right lids?? Every other bubble tea place I've been to has it figured out, so......what the problem is?? P.S. I'm pretty sure the name is a reference to QQ messenger which every Chinese person should get. So I'm not sure wtf "Welch K" is talking about, "poking fun at Asian accents." P.P.S. How is someone from Elmhurst, Queens, giving this place four stars??
People are pretty nice inside and was able to provide information as to what is around in Chinatown. The guy moreso than the lady who seemed a little irritated i was asking questions. Yeah lady, I'm calling you out! Store is pretty small, only two bar tops with bar stools. This is a bubble tea place that has pretty decent bubble tea. They also have limited selection of ice cream as well. What gets me is the name of the business. It's creative and funny way to poke fun of the Asian accent. Awwww... the name is so Q.

Being a bubble tea lover, I was ecstatic that another boba place was opening in Chinatown. Walking in, the space is awkwardly open, as if tables should be placed in the center. There are a few bar stools near the windows. The boba menu looks like its rival (Tea Talk), but after tasting their boba, they are not affiliated. There are random snacks, drinks, pastries, and ice cream. Kind of odd since WaWa is just around the corner, but this place is like the shafted version of WaWa plus bubble tea. Now onto the boba: they do use real tea but they use mostly powder for all the drinks. Some of the containers, like the condensed milk, is just sitting on the counter, exposed. I didn't see any flies, but I can tell that this could become a problem later on if they leave things out like that. I got the Honey Green Tea with bubbles, and there was wayyyyyy too much honey. The tea content was fine. All the bubbles were of different consistency, some chewy, some hard, some slimy. Blech. I get it that they just opened and need to work some things out. They need to figure out what they want to do with this "cafe." This place shows how "spreading yourself out too thin" can go horribly wrong. 1 Star for attempting to expand the Chinatown perimeter and making Dim Sum Garden look less shady.

When you first enter here, this place is not visually looking but I was able to get a tasty pork bun and jasmine bubble tea to go. it has a couple of seats not many tables but a good place to grab a bubble tea and go.
