I came in to get a poke bowl and it was pretty good! It seems they were out of rice so they offered to give me salad instead and I’m honestly glad I got the salad. There’s a heatwave going on and this was so refreshing, all the ingredients tasted fresh and it was pretty filling too. I got the small with one protein and it came up to $14.70 total which I feel like isn’t a bad price at all when it comes to poke bowls. I will be coming again! - zofeya

What is worth choosing

With so many options, it can be hard to decide what to order at Gong Cha, but a few items consistently receive high praise and are great choices for first-timers and regulars alike. The Pearl Milk Tea is a classic for a reason, offering a perfect blend of rich tea and chewy pearls that defines the quintessential bubble tea experience. Another must-try is the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, particularly the XL version, which is a fan favorite for its deep, caramel-like flavor.

For those looking to explore different textures, the Milk Foam series is a highlight. The Milk Foam Oolong Tea is a top choice, providing a perfect balance of roasted tea with the creamy, sweet, and slightly salty foam. The Creme Brulee Brown Sugar Milk Tea takes this concept a step further with its dessert-like richness. If you're in the mood for something fruity and refreshing, the Passionfruit Green Tea and the Strawberry Milk Slush are excellent options that offer a vibrant burst of flavor.

What truly makes Gong Cha a worthwhile choice is the reliability and consistency of its product. Unlike some places where drinks can be hit or miss, this location is known for making "delicious" drinks. The ability to customize your sugar and ice levels is a major plus, allowing you to tailor the drink to your exact liking. The seasonal specials, like the popular pumpkin drinks, also make it a place worth visiting year-round.
