Gong Cha

This place is great. Simple selection. Although I did find it confusing in the beginning that you have to choose several things such as sugar level, ice level, etc. I got used to it very quickly. I ordered lychee iced tea with boba which tasted very good. The straws they had were too small for the boba, but other than that the drink was very good. Highly recommend if you're around.

Lemon Ai-yu white perl 75% sugar next time I will try 50%, less ice. No need to add additional topings is a plus. Visually the drink looks neat. It is jello like "perl" not the same as boba. + Use of PLA straws Biodegradable plastic straws was a very nice touch. Passion fruit green tea wasn't bad either, but didn't wow like Lemon ai-yu

Decent milk tea & bubbles Had never been in before. Wasn't aware how sweet a 2 sugar tea was. So sweet, it hurt my teeth. Asked to have it made with no sugar. Employee was rude AF and gave such a hard time. I even offered to repay. Won't be back but it's not bad otherwise

I would sacrifice my first born for another drink from this place. Best beverage I’ve ever HAD! I would live a thousand more lifetimes as long as this place is in every single one of them. Thank you.Recommended dishesLychee Slush, Sugar Milk, Mango Yogurt, Pearl

The ability to completely customize my milk tea is why I come back. From the amount of ice, to the sweetness level, it's all exactly how I want it.

I love the set up for covid! They have one entrance and one exit on opposite sides of the building so there is less contact. Though you are free to leave from the entrance I appreciated the effort. You can drink your order inside they have one little area where people were eating inside at bar type seating but only about two people estimate because I left after receiving my order. Medium Brown Sugar Milk Tea added pearls: Regular sugar and ice. This drink had a very strong roasted/toasted tea flavor and was the favorite of our order today. The milk flavor isn't too strong and for me it wasn't too sweet but if you like things less sweet I recommend 30% sugar since it does also have brown sugar. The pearls were chewy and a little harder than the boba I am used to still great and not hard just not as soft as I am used to great if you like chewier pearls. Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3 J's Large: 30% sugar, no ice This drink was good but had a much stronger milk taste than the Brown Sugar Milk Tea I only got the Earl Grey flavor in the aftertaste. Still great just be aware the tea flavor is more subtle. The three jellies inside were great though I personally couldn't tell a difference not jelly educated. Lemon Ai-Yu White Pearl Large: no sugar, no ice Very good, tasted like a juice with added jelly and pearls. Great if you like to join boba runs but don't like tea or milk like me. Just be aware the white pearls don't have a taste and have a very different texture than the brown sugar/ regular brown boba. I would compare it to a harder/ chewier jelly more than I would boba, though it is also ~100 calories less than regular boba so maybe also good for dieters? Anyways it is great and I personally recommend this drink the most!

This is a True boba tea house! If you are craving for a sugar rush and looking for a custom order boba tea drink, this is The place you are looking for. I was in Chinatown for dinner and was looking for a sweet desert after a meal and found this long line wrapped around the corner. Foolishly, I jumped in to get a glimpse of the hype. After 40 minutes of waiting outside in the cold winter of Boston, I tasted my first Gong Cha Taro milk tea and I have to say it was Divine. Since I was in line for sooo long, I decided to order more drinks from the top 10 list like the pudding top oolong boba tea and the panda Oreo milk tea in order to experience the soul of Gong. I was not disappointed at all. Gong Cha do know how to make boba tea. One can choose different toppings like pudding, Oreo, or pearls. Also one can pick the sugar and ice levels. The Huge selections of the choices created a great amount of confusion and hence the long lines.

Our favorite bubbles tea

This is for Burlington Mall location Gong Cha. Google maps sucks and won’t let me review that one even after I added it so again this review is for the new Burlington location. Great drink spot, friendly staff. They just opened as you can see from balloons in the pictures.

I got the 3J's earl grey milk tea and the regular black milk tea. The regular tasted like it was sweetened artificially which I didn't ask for and had a weird eggy taste to it. The earl grey drink was a bit watery and didn't have enough flavor for me.
