    Last time I was here weekday evening time when it wasn't busy. Today (Saturday) it was a madhouse around 1pm. Wait time was 40 minutes. No bobas were available to order. Cashier was struggling to give out changes to customer, holding the line back for 5 minutes. Luckily the app was available to track the order. When I went to pickup the order, saw just pure chaos. Four people behind the counter running around mad confused. After waiting several minutes I had to get someone's attention to hand me my drinks. Fortunately my mango cloud came out fine. But the other drink had issues. Just seemed the employees were clueless how to handle peak hours.

    I was so excited to try their tea but didn't had a good experience. I wanted the tea only and I specifically said that. When I got my order, it was latte tea. Doesn't taste any tea flavor. Didn't even want to go back because it's such a long wait time. And if they don't sell tea only, the staff should have told me then I would gladly go somewhere else. The wait time was more than 30mins, which the staff informed us ahead before ordering. You track the time on the app. It's a take out store. No seats or tables. One side to order and pay. One side to pick up drinks.

    Went to the mall early and saw that there was not a long line decided finally give it a try after all the hype we've heard. Just like any other tea place, the drinks are highly customizable. We got the mochi yingde in black milk tea. My wife really likes the mochi and the foam and she also think s the tea is very good. I like the flavor but I feel like there's too much texture, too gritty. And the wait was over 20 minutes. It is a little pricey but then so are other tea places. It's pretty good tea would like to try something else next time.

    Getting thirsty from walking around the ginormous mall that is American Dream, I stopped by Gong…read moreCha (located in Hmart's Food court) after picking up a simple lunch. The line at around 2pm was short, maybe a few minute wait. You can order at a tablet or directly with the staff at the register. Menu is posted right next to the counter. Wait time was also brief, maybe 5 minutes. I went with my tried and true regular milk tea with herbal jelly $5.75, less ice, 30% sugar. The jelly had a pleasant herbal flavor which I appreciated though there was something kinda off with the texture--there were bits of the jelly that had a texture of thin film, like when a liquidy food has been sitting out and dried a little, and has a film over the top. At first I thought maybe I had gotten some bits of plastic from the cup lid into the drink though it didn't seem to be that. Then I kept feeling little bits of this between my teeth as I was eating the jelly. Not particularly pleasant. I don't know that I'd order again soon based on this experience, though I'd think the other add-ins like the boba, aloe, other jellies, would probably not have this issue.

The store is pretty nice, with a giant bubble tea statue right in front of the store. The menu has all the popular drinks. I ordered the Thai Milk tea with bubbles. Quick efficient service at the counter. The order was ready within minutes. Excellent quality milk tea and super soft chewy bobas. Really happy to see them opening a store at this mall.

    As chains like Hey Tea continue to expand at an impressive rate, I still have a fondness for King…read moreFu Tea, which I consider one of the older chains. It used to be easy to find a Kung Fu Tea, but over time many have closed and at the moment I can maybe think of four locations scattered around NYC (I'm sure there are more). That said, whenever I come across a new location I check it out to see if they measure up to other locations. Located on the third floor food court of the American Dream Mall, this stand is tucked away off to the side. There is no seating, it is purely a take away stand. You go up to the cashier or use a kiosk to order and your drink is picked up to the left. I ordered my usual: a Red Bean Slush with Bubbles and no Sweet (the red bean mixture plus the bubbles has plenty of sweetness by itself for my taste). You'd be surprised but such a simple drink can be made badly. Sometimes there is too much ice so you lose all flavor. Other times there isn't a good amount of bubbles. And this will vary from visit to visit depending on the location. I am happy to report this time out this location nailed it. The drink was made perfectly and the flavor had an excellent balance between the red bean and sweet flavors. The slush texture was perfect as well. Well done! For this visit at least, this location made my drink right and very quickly to boot. I would happily go back again.

    I usually love going to Kung Fu Tea, but I was most disappointed with this one. I would recommend…read moregoing to a Kung Fu Tea outside of the mall. While it's great for them to get so many customers, the quality of the drinks is not there. They are just pumping out drinks due to long lines. I ordered: - coconut milk tea with boba: the coconut flavor was faint, and the boba was not good - there was no chew, and usually their boba is soaked in syrup or honey (which was not the case here) - pina colada slush: came out melted (disappointing, especially when it was a hot day outside) I'll still be going to Kung Fu Tea - but not this one.

    I'm a big dumpling lover. So when I saw a Vanessa's Dumpling House in the American Dream Mall food…read morecourt, I was pretty excited. I recognized the franchise from my visits to Chinatown, the mecca of dumplings and foolishly assumed that meant good eats were to be had here. But this was such a disappointment. Call me a grump, but I believe the namesake food at an establishment should be the best thing on the menu. We ordered two kinds - a fried pork chive dumpling and a boiled chicken and basil. But if I were blindfolded, I don't think I could've told them apart because both wrappers were not only thick but had similarly gummy textures. The chicken and basil dumplings also had a pinkish purple hue that gave it the off-putting look of raw chicken. After a few ho-hum attempts to eat them, my husband and I ended up forgoing the wrappers entirely and simply rescued the innards with our chopsticks. On the slight plus side, these tasted great - well seasoned and meaty. The spicy beef dan dan noodles were okay. For all the sauciness and toppings on it, I was surprised that the word that came to mind was 'boring'. As far as flavor went, there was a slightly fermented funk that made it just a little interesting, but I ended up dousing my bites with Sriracha to add the fun I felt was needed. A bright spot of our order was the side of sweet and spicy cucumbers we randomly ordered. Doused in a vinegary chili oil, this provided just the fresh texture and acid that brightened up our otherwise dispirited meal.

    I have been meaning to try Pora Ramen at American Dream for a while. The dishes on the outside…read morelooked delicious. The ramen did not take long to be ready. There is a long bench inside where you can wait for your food. The area looked clean. I got the curry ramen. I did not find it to be spicy at all. It comes with pork, green onions, bean sprouts, egg, corn. I would say that this is average for a food court meal. I would have liked more flavor and spicy but the warm broth was perfect for a cold day.

    TLDR: Food court ramen is a coin flip. This place leans toward good, but I won't actively look for…read moreit, even if I'm in the area. Black Tonkotsu Ramen: I think the thing I liked the most about this it is the noodle. It's firm but chewy and you get a respectable amount of it. The egg had a bit of a green band, but I'm not gonna complain about it. The broth is different from most black tonkotsu ramens that I've had, but it's not amazing. The chashu was the 2nd best thing in the bowl. It may not have tasted different from your everyday ramen, but there is something nice about doing the basics well. Generally, this is good enough to try. Service: I ordered by tablet. Paid on the card reader attached to the tablet. Got my food 10 minutes later. Not much service to talk about. Ambiance: The store looked nice. You're there to order and get your food. You dine in the many available tables in the dining area.
