50 Best Bubble Tea near Arlington

“Asia Bistro at Pentagon Row is the ideal location to eat and chat with friends on the weekend. Try one of their bento boxes for lunch or enjoy an evening for two with your Asian fusion entrees.“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“

“Super cute restaurant design! Service was great-super attentive and gave great suggestions on what to try. I got their custom poke bowl- roasted pork banh mi, egg rolls and brown sugar boba along with a thai tea boba! Everything was spot on, happy to have found this restaurant! Their menu option has a good variety too if youre not just feeling viet food:)“

“Great place to hang with friends. When you want to get boba with your friends come here. Grab a board game or bring your own. Bathroom is nice check it out. I thought maybe it wasn't going to be good but I was wrong. The ice cream waffle dessert is something I enjoy getting. Similar to a kung fu tea. I come to this place right after pho 75. I never had any problems. It seems like a hardworking environment.“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“I absolutely love this place, their crepes are incredible. I’ve had the matcha chocolate truffle and the lychee rose and both were excellent. The crepe itself is so crisp and the fillings are always balanced and not too sweet. My only feedback is I wish they had knives and plates to put the crepe on; I was sharing two with a friend and it was impossible to cut them with plastic forks and try to share. Besides that it’s so delicious and I can’t wait to try more of them!“

“The yougart is not very sweet, then their green tea w taro is very good too.“

“Above and beyond anything I've had food-wise in DC. First of all, the prices are incredible for the area and the portions are also solid. The beef rice bowls I are PERFECT. The vegetables are delicious, the meat is well-seasoned, the rice is cooked to perfection, and it has just the right amount of both sauce and spice. I'm also a bubble tea fiend and the matcha bubble tea is consistently tasty and mixed very well.
The staff I've spoken to are very personable and sweet, too. Service is incredibly efficient, but not so jarringly quick that it's clearly just taking stuff out of the back and throwing it into a bag. They take the time to prepare your food well. This little place is so, SO worth it.“

“From the moment you step in, it's like entering a boba paradise. The aroma alone is enough to make your taste buds sing. I always go for their signature Milk Tea with pearls – the tea is perfectly brewed, the milk is creamy, and the pearls are delightfully chewy.

But let's be real, it's the experience that seals the deal. The staff are always super friendly and helpful, even when there's a line out the door. Plus, the customizable sweetness levels mean you can tailor your drink to perfection. Trust me, darling, Gong Cha is not just a tea shop; it's a whole mood.“

“The coffee is fantastic! And the people who work there go out of their way to get your beverage perfect.“

“definitely best boba in dmv, even the world! we are regulars here (1-3 times a week) and never go to a different place—not even other kung fu tea locations! atmosphere is great—they play cheerful music. staff are welcoming and so so kind. boba is delicious too! chewy, sweet, and refreshing! love this boba place so much i cannot put it in words.“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

“I was in town from Tampa Florida and found Share tea across the street from my hotel. I went twice in the same day I loved it so much.!!! I am still thinking about the tea I had..:not sure if I will be able to find a place here in Tampa as good as ShareTea … The girl was also so helpful that was working there to explain the different teas that I could have.“

“We ordered 4 drinks: mango pomelo sago (mine), thai milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and mango passion green tea. I only had a picture of my drink below. They were out of bubbles that day, but we picked other toppings instead so it was all good. The staff was super nice and friendly; they gave me the super cute cup and straw sleeves! The store was clean and cozy but a bit small.

The drinks were very tasty. I tried my dad’s mango passion green tea, and we both thought it was refreshing. My brother and uncle got the other 2 drinks, and they liked theirs too. For my mango pomelo sago, I ordered cream cheese foam with it, but there wasn’t much so the flavor didn’t come through—I had expected to taste some creaminess and saltiness from the foam. The mango was sweet enough to my liking. It was generally good; I’m just picky when it comes to mango. To sum up, I’d recommend this place and come back!“

“Omg! Great tea shop! Just stopped in and took a recommendation for the Jasmine milk tea with boba, awesome. Please open one in Colorado, we have a huge demographic for tea. Thanks!“

“The absolutely ecstatic employee Thao was such a great ball of energy to be around! So kind and patient and was able to accomodate me as well as she can speak Vietnamese and English. She was so patient and humble and I am truly thankful for such an experience!“

“Amazing tea, great staff, definitely recommend!“

“Finally tried the sushi burrito here and it was 10/10 and I washed it down with some boba tea. Some friends got the Ramen and everyone enjoyed their food. Great spot in Georgetown for a quick bite or boba. This place exceeds the vibe check too.“

“Excelente batidos muy delicioso 🤤 lo recomiendo mucho excelente servicio 🥰😍✨y muy amable el personal excelente ✨🥰gracias #DCBOBA“

“Nice and fast service, we’re love it“

“FOOD IS GREAT. We are coming from Pennsylvania and we love Vietnamese food so when we saw they had bahn mi, I knew I had to go. The pork was the most flavorful sandwich out of all of them and it was extremely delicious. We had the combo fried rice , it was a 10/10 and we are picky eaters. We also had the egg crepe which we did not care for at all so I would not recommend it . However , I never have mango sticky rice where I live so I decided to take advantage before I leave and it was soo good! Mangos were sweet. I’m definitely coming back here when I go on vacation. Their Thai teas were amazing . The owners and employees were so sweet.“

“Delicious boba—especially the taro milk one! And it's a really cool atmosphere with chill music!“

“ETea was see at the Asian Festival on May the 17th. It was gloriously hot day and their teas were so yummy I had 4. Every one I tried tasted super and the BlueBerry was my all time Fav. I plan on going into DC to try more offerings from ETea soon. Maybe do something after I have a tea and snacks in hand. All who were king were happy and helpful too. Sorry the pix won’t work.“

“Love this place!! My favorite go-to at least twice a week. Can’t wait for them to re-open!!“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“After a long day, we were just looking for something quick and comforting—and wow, did we hit the jackpot with 54 Restaurant! We were craving some soup, and since they were open until 9 PM, we called at 8:36 to place a takeout order. By 8:50, we were already picking up our food, and everything was ready right on time.

We ate in our hotel lobby, and oh my goodness… I did not expect the Pho to be that good. It was insanely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, there was a generous amount of tender meat, and the portion was huge.

We also ordered a Banh Mi, and it was just as amazing—perfectly seasoned and super satisfying.

We grabbed two drinks as well; they were very sweet, maybe a bit too much for my taste, but still tasty.

This spot has definitely earned a place on my list of favorite go-to restaurants. Can’t wait to come back!“

“This place is so good. Clean, friendly staff, great location and the best thing about it is that they use real fresh fruits, all the flavors are natural and fresh, unlike the competition with 2x1 that uses syrup and cheap ingredients. You can taste the freshness here, also the amount of sugar is on point, not too much, not too little. If you see a place that gives you 2x1 I always never trust them, it means their Ingredients must be cheap. I'd go with Moge 100% of the time.“

“Good service and great staff. My daughter loved her tea.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“My favorite boba tea place in town! 🧋😋“

“I have been here several times, I feel I should leave a review. The place is super friendly, I got a welcome smile when I entered, was given ample time to make my choices, and boy there are many choices, was amazed by what I purchased, will defiantly come back again to try something new.“

“Fun food, good portions, friendly environment“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“Delightfully decorated, adorable eat in and take out place with Vietnamese fusion entrees, salads and bubble tea. Had a vegetarian Bao bun and it was delicious. Daughter ordered milk tea with boba and raved about it. Very friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Service was a bit slow, but the tea was great: not too sweet and not too strong a tea flavor. The pearls in my drink had a perfect consistency, which is not something I often come across. TwoSet Violin's favorite tea (black milk tea with pearls, half sugar, less ice) gave me a great desire to practice 40 hours.“

“As Kung Fu tea establishments go, this one is quite nice. I love the games, TV, claw machines, & outdoor seating. The indoor seating is somewhat flexible, but kind of limited. If you're coming with a big group, keep that in mind. It was raining when we came so, no outdoor seating for us. But the music was pumping & drinks were tasty as always. Although...did the prices go up?

Restrooms are clean as of this posting. No changing table in the men's room. Parking is limited but close to the store or on the side.“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“best bun cha ha noi in town.“

“We stopped here for bubble tea and a smoothie. The bubble tea was great, and there was a lot of options. I had a few critiques though, so I didn't give it a 5 star:

1. The trash was overfilled and nobody was changing it.
2. The smoothie was too much ice / not enough juice. The proportions were a little off.
3. The inside was quite warm, and there was no AC, and it was a fairly hot day.

I'd go back for the bubble tea though!“

“I love trying out places with unique drinks and Ben Gong's Tea in Annandale is a location with many unique drinks. Of course, they have your traditional boba tea and various fruits teas but I love their fermented rice milk tea series. I appreciate how a lot of their drinks come with crystal jellies already too. Also highly recommend their strawberry yukult if you love fruity and sweet drinks!

Their drinks are not very sweet to begin with so if you prefer sweeter drinks I recommend going with 70%+ sugar. Around 50% and less it isn't really sweet anymore!“

“I’ve been here twice since I was introduced to this place. Both time were good experiences. Customer service is good. I’ve had the matcha red bean slush w/ bubbles & the Oreo slush with bubbles... both were great. & I like their boba bc they are cooked just right. I would recommend people to come.“

“Stopped on a whim. I was walking by, hungry and reviews looked good. So glad I tried it. I ordered the miso ramen to-go. The broth was separate in the take away container which meant everything didn’t get soggy while I walked a mile back. Miso was really good. I wasn’t a fan of the noodles. I prefer them a little thinner. Despite that, the miso ramen was really good. The meat was cooked perfectly. Miso was tasty. I would definitely eat here again.“

“(Translated by Google) I highly recommend this place for the attention and kindness of Miss Velma .......and they prepare the very tasty bubble teas. I always come back for mine ? ?(Original)Recomiendo muy bien este lugar por la atención y amabilidad de la señorita velma .......y los bubble tea muy ricos los preparan siempre vuelvo por el mio ? ?“

“I had such a beautiful experience here. It wasn’t just about the tea (which was absolutely delicious, by the way)—it was the kindness, the care, and the way I was received.

Justin’s service is beyond amazing— I honestly felt like I was being seen and nourished in a way I didn’t expect.
He remembered my son and I — and what my son ordered from about two days ago.. He didn’t have to remember, but he did!
The environment is welcoming, peaceful, and full of small, intentional gestures that linger with you. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to—not just for the tea, but for the energy.

Thank you Justin ,for your warmth. We will never forget about you and will come back again!“

“I came in today and got a white chocolate milk tea. It was very sweet so I recommend reducing the sugar level to suit your taste. It was only $5 for 24 oz which is a lot better than some of the other options I have seen. The staff were very friendly and willing to correct the sweetness level of my drink with more tea. I definitely recommend it.

Vegetarian options: Just avoid gelatin toppings

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free, lactose free“

“Mmmm very coconut-y and chocolatey 🥥🌴😋“

“This beautiful place is located inside the Ellsworth plaza ground floor, many options to choose from, both hot and cold, flavored with various fruity and innovative flavors. The service is pretty fast and the staffs was very friendly. If you like bubble tea, I guess this is the only place to get it in downtown silver spring. I recommend you to visit this place.“

“excellent offerings. loved it. will be back for the ice cream“

“Vietnamese Coffee with Sea Salt Cream and flan 🍮 is very unique. It has a nice smooth creamy taste and very refreshing too. I like the taste, sweetness and texture. I definitely come back for more. A must try if you have not“
