I usually go to another location of Gong Cha and it never disappoints, but this place got everything wrong.Firstly, I ordered a Taro drink with pearls and they didn’t add pearls at all, which I realized when we brought the order home.Secondly, my fiancée ordered a Mango milk tea and ended up getting just milk tea no mangoRecommend going to another location - Michael Granovsky
