    For a bit of nostalgia
    Vania C.

    The Neopets collab drew me in, definitely been a few years since I've visited a Gong Cha. I vaguely remember liking the wintermelon tea from here, now I think there's added basil in it? I think that'd be something I'd try another time. As it was the game of my childhood, I really wanted a Neopet blind box with my weekly treat of a boba. I generally always go for fruit teas, but the tea smell in this shop smelled really strong; I always assume that's the strong smell of black tea...so I felt like a milk tea this time. I ordered the AISHA: Black Milk Tea w/ Pearls, 70% sweetness. Service here was quick and super friendly despite it looking like a one man operation at the time I was there. It seemed like he was the owner as we chatted about the Neopet collaboration and how it's a very nostalgic thing. He said it's all been adults coming in to grab a blind box, no kids yet then. I am not that surprised as I was there purely for the nostalgia too. The straws there are the paper ones, used 2 to try to stab the top open and that was a fail... ended up using a reusable straw I had stashed in my car. I'd suggest stabbing the straw in store first as the straw can crumble a bit after a few attempts of poking it through the top. For the drink itself, I loved that there was a strong tea taste - would get it a little less sweet next time as the boba added a lot of sweetness to me. Boba was a bit overcooked as there wasn't much of a bite to it, but good flavor soaked in it. Final Thoughts: Collabs definitely are the way to go as it peaked my interest of Gong Cha again, been a while since I've gone and I'll definitely be back again to give other drinks a try.

    Tropical EnerTea with free shaker
    Ciara B.

    Awesome place for boba. Really clean interior with a very kind and friendly worker. I got the Tropical EnerTea, one of their new energy drink-like green teas. The popping boba was delicious, and the order of the EnerTea came with a free shaker for making your own drinks!

    i've been going to this gong cha location for a while because i like how consistent the drinks are in quality and price. i always get an earl grey milk tea and it's always perfectly made. i actually come to study here a lot because it's not too noisy, it's pretty clean, and the workers are so nice. there aren't that many tables inside but i think it's a great place to chat or get some work done :))

    Wintermelon Oolong Tea with Basil Seeds
    Christy L.

    This Gong Cha is the perfect place if you're looking for something quick and easy. In the heart of Downtown Dublin, it's conveniently located in the same plaza as Safeway and is close to many other stores (REI, Sprouts, Target, 99 Ranch, etc.). I wouldn't call anything extraordinary or standout, but I find the drinks at Gong Cha to be pretty reliable and consistent. My go-to used to be the Milk Foam Oolong until I ordered it one too many times. The Wintermelon Oolong with basil seeds has become my favorite as of late. I love that you can order ahead online or self-order from a kiosk. The service here is also very speedy and friendly.

    Drive an hour to this location because I wanted to order the matcha drink I had in Japan and see if they had the Felix cup sleeve and pins. They did not have anything I went there for but I did order another matcha drink which was just as good as the one I wanted. We ordered from the kiosk and are drinks were completed really fast. This location is small but very clean and nice.

    Located in the Safeway plaza next to yogurtland. There is more parking in the Safeway lot vs right in front of Gong Cha. You order at the kiosk and wait for drink to be made. This is a cashless establishment so they do not accept cash as a form of payment. There is seating inside for if you want to sit there and do some work or study. It can get loud though if they are busy making drinks.

    Wintermelon milk tea with milk foam and grass jelly - very good
    cindy T.

    Came in on Sunday afternoon. There were 2 kiosk to place your order or you can order at the register. My favorite drink here is Wintermelon milk tea with milk foam Strawberry milk teas with boba was good Mochi waffles- super yummy I will swing by here if I want some boba. Workers here are also very nice and friendly too!

    Brandy G.

    Cute place! You can come in and use the kiosk to order your boba. They have the cutest little gingerbread cups! The person working was this very sweet gentleman and was super apologetic for how long the drinks I ordered took. I think it was like a 20 minute wait but I wasn't in a rush. There is a plethora of parking and accessible friendly! The drinks were really good and of course super cute! Definitely coming back

    I came to this location a few times now. More recently, I came here a couple of weeks ago to try one of their pumpkin flavored seasonal drinks! I ordered the Pumpkin Pie Milk Tea with Pearls and Milk Foam. It was good! I didn't taste as much pumpkin flavor as I expected, but I still liked it. Delicious! I also ordered one of the Gong Cha pins they had! The Summer Pin (Beach Ball). Very cute! Also, that night, I was able to meet the owner. Nice guy! We were able to chat a little (as I was the last customer before they closed).

    Victor G.

    Gong Cha opened in this vacated space late last year. Interior totally refurbished. Small seating area. Offerings: milk foam/creative/milk teas, fresh milk/brewed tea, smoothies, specials, coffee, snacks.. Eats: mochi waffles (5.5) made to order -mochi nuggets no longer offered. -ate fresh from the machine. Slightly warm, had sweet taste from honey, not sugar. Yum. Addictive. -would re-order. Curious re: calories. Cashier/owner asked me about drink. Told him i'd had many varietals from Gong cha. Only milk foam satisfactory. He asked would i accept a free drink? Wanted me to comment on it. "Sure" i said. Drink: Hot earl grey milk tea with herbal jelly gratis. -told him it was fantastic. He said it's his favorite drink. Not on menu but available for me. Told him i'll be back to try other drinks he may recommend. 5 stars for excellent service. Thinking outside the box.

George chose the House Special Fruit Tea, while I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba with Organic Milk. Our total was $16. A friendly attendant brought the drinks to our table when they were ready. My drink was very good -- the boba had just the right amount of chew, and the milk was smooth and high‑quality. George enjoyed his fruit tea as well, telling me it was really good.

Came in and ordered a mango matcha with almond milk (extra $0.50) with less sweetness. There was lots of seating inside so I found a spot while I waited. My drink came out fairly quickly but it tasted very sour, to the point that I worried that the milk was spoiled. Especially as my drink started to separate (even after mixing). They were kind enough to remake it and we realized it was just the taste of the ready made mango syrup they used. My drink separated again which I hadn't seen before. Overall, I wouldn't be coming back.

I completely understand that there is a 1.5-hour time limit for each session, and I respect the need to manage reservations and prepare for the next seating. However, when we were the only group in the entire restaurant, it was difficult to understand why there couldn't have been a little flexibility. We were a party of three, and the next sessions weren't until 3:00 p.m. With no other customers waiting and only one table of three to clear and prepare, it seemed unnecessary to make us feel rushed. The experience became very much, "Is this lady finished? Can I clear this? Your time is up," rather than allowing us to simply enjoy our meal and conversation. I understand there are policies, but there should also be some consideration for the circumstances and the customer experience. After years of coming here, I left feeling more like a number than a valued customer. The food was good, but unfortunately, the way this visit was handled has changed my perception of the restaurant enough that I won't be returning.

We tried their matcha roasted rice latte and Hojicha latte, both sweetened. The hojicha latte was AMAZING! 10/10, no notes. It reminded us of the hojicha we had in Japan. The matcha roasted rice was unfortunately way, way too sweet to tolerate and little matcha flavor and green color. I would be open to ordering this again with extra matcha and little to no sweetener. This would be a 5 star review if the ambiance was nicer and matcha wasn't so weak and sweet. I would definitely be interested in coming back and giving Kamurocho's matcha another try and exploring their other drinks.
