Place is cute and has this high chairs and chairs with tables for group of people. You can order from their machine or the counter. The menu is truly wide and interesting. We ordered 4 drinks but only have 2 photos which are mochi milk tea and creme brûlée milk tea. The other two drinks are black boba milk tea and yam brûlée. All of those drinks were enjoyed by our friends. One of the good spots for good drinks either milk tea, smoothie, fruit tea and they have espresso options as well. The staff were nice and easy to talk to. Overall experience was good. read more

The day that I stopped by, there was only one barista. they didn't have anyone else in the shop, but it seemed that they had a steady stream of mobile/online orders because the barista was making orders non-stop. It did take a good bit for me to get my order, which really isn't that big of a deal. Just a heads up that they may seem like they're not busy because they're empty inside, but mobile/online orders may just be the majority of their orders. The decor is simple but tasteful. I ordered the strawberry milk tea and a sparkling jasmine lemon tea. The strawberry milk tea was great, but I didn't quite like the sparkling jasmine lemon tea. Overall, I had an okay experience. If I'm in the area, I may drop by again to try other things on their extensive menu. read more

I used to come here a lot after I ate at KBBQ or the Korean fried chicken joint nearby. This place has really good Thai Tea to me. I've never had a bad experience with this place and I did celebrate my birthday here on the mini couches inside. I love the small coziness of the inside and the baristas were all nice and efficient. read more

Ben Gong is always my go to if I want tea cubes or just a nice drink! Small area inside, but it's never too crowded when I have went! I really like the location this place is at! I come back frequently for drinks but there is definitely a lot more drinks that I should try out! Parking lot is a bit rough in some areas with cracks, but availability of spaces is quite nice! read more

I was nearby so tried this place. I got the brulee milk tea and it was basically creme brulee with with boba. It probably would have been better without boba and less sweet but it was a good drink and I would get it again. read more

Love Ben Gongs! Their mango pomelo drink is my favorite but the tiramisu with boba is great too. Then have tons of flavors and are quick to make orders. If you sign up for loyalty with your phone number you get discounts from points too! read more

We used to come here religiously, every week, 1-3 times a week for 2 years. We loved their tea and the consistency in the drinks. They were always good, we got exactly what we expected. For us, it was the best place in the NoVa area. However, the past 6 months, something changed. Our tea tasted kind of watered down. We figured it must have been the new crew and they were just new and learning. We just came back again last week, and oh gosh!! We had the worst milk tea of our life!! Not exaggerating, it absolutely tasted like when you finish an iced drink, you let the cup sit for a while, then the ice melts, and you try to take a sip. It's beyond being watered down, it's more like the melted ice water!! It was horrible!! We feel so sad because we loved this place so much. Now, we don't think we will be coming back again. We will just head down a few blocks away for some good milk tea. I truly miss the old Ben Gong's. I hope the store sees this review and fix the issue. They have their recipe/formula right, but please execute it right as well!! Please!! I would have given this place 0 star as it stands today but 3 stars because of our long lost love for Ben Gong's. read more

Underrated Chinese boba place! - their drinks are more dessert than a drink, not exactly the place you would go for a drink, but definitely after meals! - I love cheese foam drinks (the saltiness compliments the sweetness) and I think Ben Gong does a great job and has such a variety to choose from - you can't often find cheese foam as an option at other stores - careful if you're lactose sensitive though! - not so sweet and doesn't taste like straight sugar :) - always decorated so nicely and warm and comfy - super quick wait time but I went in the evening read more

DRINKS We ordered the burnt brown sugar bubble tea with boba and the tiramisu milk tea with boba. We reduced the sweetness for both, and they were perfect. I wish there was a size between the small and large as the small was a little smaller than desired while the large was a little too big. The teas are a bit pricier compared to other boba shops, but it's still a good place to visit if in the area. SERVICE The staff are friendly. AMBIANCE It can get pretty busy even on a weeknight. Expect a ~15 minute wait time around dinnertime. It's a great place to catch up with friends as there is ample seating. PARKING Ample parking is available around the storefront that is shared by neighboring vendors. read more

Very unique drinks- one of a kind and delicious. I went here near daily for years- the staff remembered my drinks just be seeing me, and they even remembered me and my pup when i told them of the passing of my sweet service dog, who accompanied me every time i went to get a boba (my happy drink!) They are personable and talented- def not your regular corporate shop! 10/10 read more

TL;DR: It seems like a hit or miss depending on the drink you get! Visited this boba shop a few times: *Ambiance: Cute boba shop for sure! *Drinks: I remember when this boba shop first opened, the tea cubes were the rage and their menu was limited. Since then, their menu has certainly expanded. I would recommend their milk tea drinks over their fruit teas. Fruit teas tasted a bit watered down compared to other boba shops I've visited, but the tea flavor in the milk teas are pretty prominent. *Service: Service has been pretty slow during each of my visits... read more

Came here last night and it was pretty pack, all the staff members were pretty occupied when my sister and I arrived but still greeted us with a very friendly hello when we walked in. I placed a mobile order (7 drinks) and had came in only a few mins after placing so I knew we would have to wait a bit especially placing a large order. Even though the place was pretty steady and the staff were busy, they still maintained a friendly vibe and made our drinks in a timely manner and accurately. I got my Coffee Cheese Tea here, which is my go to drink every-time I'm here. I love the strong flavor of the coffee, yet it has such a creamy, rich and almost buttery texture. Their Cheese Tea's here are a must try!!!!! Sweet and savory! read more

Bengong's is probably one of my favorite places to get a cheese drink! If you have never tried anything and are curious about the cheese, try the mango cheese smoothie! I think it's one of their more popular ones on the menu. I also love the tea cube topping more than boba. The seating area is nice and there usually is room to sit. I've been using the app to order my drinks and they always had them ready early or on time which I really appreciate! read more

Update: I still love Ben Gong, but this review is specifically for their new Thai Milk Tea drink. Don't get it! It tasted more like a bland milk w/a hint of Thai tea. I think I'll stick to getting Thai Tea at Thai restaurants. It was just way too creamy and I usually love creamy. read more

Good stuff. Placed an order online, which was simple and straightforward. Employees are friendly. Our order was neatly wrapped and ready to go when we arrived. The tea shop is clean and organized. They offer a nice variety of teas. We enjoyed our order. Their teas are delicious. Quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. Bold and deep in flavor, not overly sweet. Overall, I'm glad we got a chance to try Ben Gong's Tea out! read more

This place has me in a chokehold I come here about 5 times a week and I usually get the dahongpao milk tea and sometimes when i feel like changing it up I get the jasmine milk tea with boba. The brown sugar boba is perf chewy and sweet which goes well with the nutty less sweet (i get 0% sweet bc the boba is sweet) milk tea. I also get tea cube jelly as a topping bc they make it in house and its sweet and tea flavored and adds a nice texture. The owners are constantly experimenting and adding new flavors to the menu so I love tasting the diff options. The topping options are so varied and p unique - they have black rice and coconut pudding! They recently added egg tarts and creme brulee (og, milk tea, and matcha). I really liked the milk tea creme brulee because it wasn't too sweet and you could taste the black tea along with the creamy custard flavor of the filling! read more

I literally come here every weekend. Honestly, a bit more pricey than other chains, but they are just too delicious. I mean you really don't have to be that good, but I really just cannot deny the qualiTEA of Ben Gong. Growing up in Asia, I am very particular about milk tea, especially black milk tea. You have to be able to taste the tea, and for some reasons many chains here fail to do so. Their tea is super fragrant, milk tea is SO creamy, their milk cap (cheese) is so so delicious, their cheese smoothie doesn't taste superficial and super refreshing. And by the way, the tea cube is yummy and a fun variety of topping different from other chains - basically a jelly that tastes a bit caramelly like brown sugar. Not much needed to say about Ben Gong - this is what I would call real bubble milk tea tastes like. It is so good I bought the tea leaves to drink at home lol. TIP: the line here on the weekend is very long. I always always order on the app first and just go in to pick up. I still have to stand in line to pay, but not need to wait for drinks to be made. read more

The two girls working on monday had amazing customer service and made my drink very quickly.

Came here and ordered the Caramel Cheese Tea. Overall it basically just tasted like a regular milk tea until you reached the "cheese" milk cap. The interior is cute and service was fast and friendly. I would definitely be willing to come here again and try another drink! read more

Grabbed some bubble tea here the other day after the spa and it was really good. They have a pretty large selection to choose from. My husband got a matcha brown sugar bubble tea and he said it was so good. I ordered a black tea cube milk tea and quite honestly it was freaking incredible. I appreciate the staff being patient with us while we asked questions. They also have desserts but we didn't have time to sit and eat any. I will definitely get one next time as it was so cute inside and the matcha creme brûlée sounded like heaven. read more

Passion Guava Slush DO NOT GET THIS! The worst drink ever invented here. This drink is extremely sweet, you can hardly taste any fruit flavor in there. There's jelly in the bottom which added up the sugary taste as well. Ordered 30% sugar level already and it still tastes like it's gonna give me diabetes. Tried to talk to the staff here to make an exchange for something else but she refused to do so because I already opened the drink...I mean, I gotta drink it in order to know how I like it..? Food/drink restaurants should have the curtesy when the customers really don't like something, or am I expecting too much here. Ended up paying extra for something else anyways. Completely wasted of $7 on this one. Very disappointed about this trip here today, I'm a usual customer getting hundreds of teas here and always got good drinks and service. Somehow I got this really bad experience today. Come on BenGong, you can do better than this! read more

I am obsessed with this place! The Tiramasu Tea is top knotch!! One of the best i've had. I will say that I wish the atmosphere inside was a little bit more comfortable so you'd want to stay and hang out but I usually order mine to go. The young ladies working there are always pleasant to talk to and give great recommendations. I also say always upgrade to the large because the small is like a sippy cup and it's worth the charge of paying more for the big version! read more

It's rare for a boba place to have both good boba and tea, but ben gong's pulls through every time. I like that they use Lactaid milk instead of milk tea powder and that they offer tea cube jelly. The workers are also always friendly and accommodating when I want to add or take out anything. read more

Decided to give Kung Fu tea a break and give this a try. I got the passion fruit tea with low sugar and that was pretty amazing. It was really refreshing, but I need to go back and try their other drinks. The lady at the counter was meh, wasn't really helpful and expected that you know what you wanted. Don't come in without knowing what you want because she's no help. Ok.... If you don't have that, what's an alternative to what you offer? Nothing... Silent. :/ read more

We were in the area and found this bubble tea shop. Hubby was doubtful feeling it was a knock off place, but the bubble tea was so good. We got the matcha tea and a milk tea. I enjoyed using the touch screen to order myself and customize and pay at a kiosk but you can also order at the counter. came out fairly quickly, although there was not many people there at the time. THere are a few tables and cute decor. read more

I'm a huge fan of Ben Gong's tea! They're one of the few places that has osmanthus milk tea, which is a beautiful flavor that I am absolutely obsessed with. I got the osmanthus milk tea at 70% sugar and less ice, with tea jelly. The tea jelly wasn't quite what I was expecting: I thought it would be more like milk tea pudding that I've had at other places, but it is an interesting texture that holds up well overnight. It was also good that I tried it since they were out of Boba when I visited in the evening. Overall, I think they have some of the most authentic bubble tea in the northern Virginia area, and I am a big fan. read more

Can't make these beverages at home despite all my trials and abominations. These drinks are pleasant, aromatic, and flavorful.

One of my best friends lives in Dumfries (45-50 mins away) and makes her way to Ben Gong's to get boba often. I live like 5-10 mins away so of course I had to finally make a visit! Their menu is a bit smaller compared to other boba spots but if you have a good product, smaller usually means higher quality! My fiancé and I ordered ahead online for their social distancing pickup. They do have a $10 credit card minimum! I got the matcha tea with tea cubes and he got the mango cheese smoothie. At first I was skeptical about the "cheese" part of the smoothie. But the flavors actually go together really well and I liked his drink more than mine! Although both drinks were good haha. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more
