My bubble tea crawl continues throughout NYC attaining my favorite default grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 choice topping. Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square. read more

Really good and strong tea flavor! My favorite is the Ruby Black tea. Their milk tea is also pretty solid. This has been one of my favorite bubble tea places in nyc so far. Service is also pretty good and friendly. There's also a few spots to sit as well to relax. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving a late night dessert so we decided to come here after looking up some boba places in the area. We were disappointed at the consistency of the boba and that is what makes or breaks our drinks. It was not fully cooked and had a hard consistency in the middle. The taste of the drinks itself were okay. It was good enough for me to satisfy the boba craving that evening. read more

I stopped by here tonight, got The Bubble tea and a takoyaki. Bubble milk tea: VERY good, very good tea flavor. Takoyaki: not that good, supposed to have almost creamy texture, this was closer to a fritter, the microwave also made this insanely hot to the point could barely bite it. Overall: Will be back for the bubble tea, very good bubble milk tea. read more

This review is for the drinks - I got the pink slush and it was delicious! So refreshing!! It has grapefruit with Ume. There were real grapefruit pieces at the bottom as well. The large was about $7 (average price) I would come back for this drink! I have been looking for a good drink spot. read more

Love stopping here for their bubble tea and for their Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Honestly it's my favorite item on the menu. If you're not a huge spicy person, I'd recommend getting it without the seasoning. It comes out piping hot, so be careful if you're eating it right away! read more

We stopped by on a rainy day for some boba, and were left pretty disappointed. Most warningly, their pearls were not fully cooked, and had solid, hard parts in the middle. This really doesn't feel acceptable at a boba shop, and I'm surprised they don't have any quality assurance to make sure this doesn't happen. Might honestly not even have been food safe for us to eat, but who knows. The milk tea itself had good strong tea flavor, but was way too sweet for our taste (even at 50% and 25%). I like a well balanced milk tea, with the bitterness of the tea playing off the sweetness, but this lacked that. Probably won't be back! Wouldn't be surprised if we just caught them on an off day, but there's definitely better consistent boba to be had around. read more

Probably one of my favorite boba spots in the city after trying it the other day. I recommend 75% sugar level for their drinks - it puts it in this sweet spot where it's sweet enough but still gives you that fresh tea flavor that really shines through in both their warm matcha and their taro. Could see myself coming back to try some of their other drinks in the future ! read more

TLDR: my favorite after school snack! I live quite close to Ho ho té so I'm really happy that it ended up being a pretty decent boba place! My go to snack is the popcorn chicken and a pink flush or oolong milk tea. Popcorn chicken is quite good, one of my favorites in the city. I also like the mung bean cakes whenever they're available. I've had the eel and braised pork bowls and both are good but I think if I had to choose one it will always be the popcorn chicken. The service is quite friendly - they always greet me and know that I'm looking for the mung bean cake. The shop is pretty small so it typically gets crowded but the queue goes by fast. read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Needed a quick meal before a Saturday matinee Broadway show, thankfully this little Taiwanese beverage shop was nearby. We were able to make it on time and ate a delicious meal. First of all, their signature Ho Ho Fruity drink was refreshing and tasty. I would definitely recommend it. However, did not like the Coconut Milk Green Tea. As for the food, the Popcorn Chicken was excellent. Crispy, tender, flavorful - I wish I could have brought a box of it into the theater. Lol Ho Ho Chicken Burger was good because the chicken (probably thigh meat) was once again fried very well. However, the bread needs improvement. Lastly, the Braised Pork on Rice was surprisingly delicious. I would not mind having this dish regularly. Compared to Flushing or Chinatown prices, it's certainly more for what you get. However, considering the location and all the tourist traps nearby, this is a decent option for a quick bite. read more

Maybe closer to 3.5. The interior is very clean. There's no seating available these days, but you can still buy some prepackaged snacks and order your drinks to go. We tried the ho ho fruity and the ruby black tea with cream cap. I didn't really like the ho ho fruity, and honestly the fruit at the bottom of the cup did not look super enticing. The black tea was good! I appreciated that the worker double bagged the drinks, it was a thoughtful touch. The paper straw is not my favorite, but it was surprisingly sturdy and didn't crumble at all. read more

Stumbled upon this cute lil boba & taiwanese food/snacks place, and I am all for it. So happy to have finally found this solid taiwanese cafe in the city! The seating area isn't as large as it was shown in previous pictures on yelp - they closed off their entire back area. When I went last week, there were two only 3 tables with a total of 6 seats. I tried to study here but it was uncomfortable - it got hot and stuffy despite having all the windows pulled down, and the smell of cigarettes kept pouring in from outside loiterers. For food, I ordered the popcorn chicken and braised pork over rice, and for the drink, I got the pink flush (grapefruit green tea) with boba. The popcorn chicken was good - crispy outside with juicy meat inside. Braised pork over rice tasted amazing! The only thing is that the portions are small and there were only 2 pieces of sausage slices in there, but otherwise worth it. The drink was also great, and the boba was soft and chewy. Would definitely recommend all 3 of these food items! I wish food portions were a bit bigger and that there would be more seating space, and I probably wouldn't try to study again here. But overall, amazing place with yummy food and boba. Will definitely return! read more

Really rich tea flavor with a drop of milk. Great for tea lovers! Boba is chewy but not too flavorful so that's the only downside here. I had the chance to try the Green Milk Tea, Black Milk Tea, and Lychee Not Martini. Green Milk Tea - lighter tea as green tea usually is, but still a very present tea flavor. Grassy taste that tastes authentically brewed from tea leaves with a splash of milk that doesn't overwhelm much. Black Milk Tea - much stronger flavor as you expect from black tea. Maybe even sweeter. Also a splash of milk that doesn't overwhelm the tea so it's slightly creamy but tea is still the majority of the drink. Lychee Not Martini - a sour lemonade drink as there's a strong lemon flavor and very minimal lychee. The lychee is masked by the sour lemon, not something I'd order again. read more

I've been walking past this for the past few months and also seeing it a lot on Seamless. Finally decided to stop by here for takeout the other day. Ordered a few things to drink and eat for the hubby and me including: - Taiwan pork broiled rice combo - comes with a bubble tea. I also added grilled eel to the dish. The pork with rice is so good, I was surprised by how good the ground pork is. The braised egg and eel were delicious also. The only problem is the broccoli which tasted rather bland and also had a soft texture. But for $14 (without the eel), it's a great deal and I'll definitely be getting this for lunch more often. - Popcorn chicken - first of all, I was pleasantly surprised by how large the portion was for $6. It's also one of the best popcorn chicken I've had - big, substantial chunks of meat that's very tender and moist on inside while crispy on outside. I also like that the popcorn chicken felt crispy without too much coating or batter. - Also ordered the Baby Face which is almost like a chrysanthemum tea that comes snow (white) fungus as a topping. It's not a very sweet drink which I appreciate and I also like the goji berries floating around in there. This drink made me feel very Asian, in a good way. I'll definitely be coming back for more servings of the popcorn chicken and pork rice and will also try out some of the other drinks. read more

Great little place for bubble tea, drinks and some snacks / quick meals. They have some very unique items on the menu. The names of some drinks are cute and/or poetic - I already have my eyes and mind and heart set on the drink "babyface" for my next visit! Lol Tried four season green tea and heat wave this time. Four season green tea was decent - it's on the lighter side. Heat wave is super refreshing with the tantalizing passionfruit flavor - it really lived up to its name and is perfect for beating the heat wave! Special shout-out to this place for using environmentally friendly straws!! This is a hugeee plus for me - love a place that cares about our planet! There are couple tables/seatings in the front and one more in the back. read more

[NYC BOBA TOUR STOP #9] Let's start with the good. This place is gorgeous. The doors completely open up so that there's no separation between the inside and outside, and everything feels clean and minimal. I know the drinks themselves are really what matters, but it doesn't hurt that their logo is also nice and pleasing to look at. Also, the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was very good. I have nothing further to say about that. Now for the drinks themselves: it was kinda a grab bag. I'd say in general the milk teas suffered; you could tell that they were flavored with powder, and it just didn't taste fresh. Also, and I can't overstate it enough, the boba was so weak. They were just too soft, and that's one of the biggest turn-offs for me at any boba shop. The fruit teas fared better among the drinks we got, but none of them were really excellent. We got the Pink Flush with Lychee Jelly (4/5), Coconut Green Milk Tea with Boba (2/5), Ruby Black with Boba (5/5), Taro Milk Green Tea with Boba (2/5), Ho Ho Fruity with Grass Jelly (3/5), and the Black Milk Tea with Boba and Grass Jelly (4/5) All of them were pretty mediocre. Of them, we'd recommend the pink flush the most (and the popcorn chicken). read more

When it comes to bubble tea, most are kinda similar to me. But you know what a bad one is like in just one sip - either the bubble texture and/or taste is off or the (milk)tea is off. This place serves not fully cooked bubbles so they are hard, and the milk tea doesn't taste very good as well. The lychee drink is a little bitter. read more

Ho ho ho, Merry Crispmas! Santa brings you crunchy Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, Braised Pork over Rice, and Mango Slush and Heat Wave to wash 'em down. Is it the best TW fare Santa has to offer? Nah. The benchmark for all popcorn chicken is--was it fried with basil? If no basil, no bueno. Bad Santa. But the Braised Pork was closer to what Mama Taipei had in mind, so I'll give the elves credit for that one. You did good, Sugarplum. And the bevvies were large, fruity and delectably cold. Too bad they don't really turn up the AC here. Rudolph is melting in his harness. read more

More of a 2.5. I got a black milk tea with boba, 25% sweet and less ice. The tea was ok, nothing special but not as sweet as many places in NY make even 25% sweet tea. But just not a lot of flavor either (it is possible to have low sugar and good flavor). The boba were sadly very uneven. I bit into some that were very undercooked and some that seemed a bit mushy. They taste like they're soaked in brown sugar instead of honey, which is nice. This place is close to my doctors office so I'll probably come back, but I'll try a fruit tea and see if they have crystal boba. read more

We were in the area seeing Hadestown and walked by Ho Ho Te on the way to the theater. We stopped by after the show to get some boba and soft serve. I had the vanilla and matcha and it's a huge cone. Definitely worth the money. Boba was solid and I like that you can order using the touch screen, which lets me browse my options without making the cashier wait for me to make my decision. We also had the Taiwanese ground meat over rice, which was just ok. I would say, come for the boba or the soft serve and skip the rice. read more

Say hi hi to Ho Ho Té in Hell's Kitchen! The Lychee Not Martini ($6.50 large) and the Brown Sugar Tea Latte ($6.00 medium) won me over. As with most tea shops, you can customize ice and sugar levels to your preference. Bubbles and other toppings are 50¢ extra. The boba were somewhat inconsistent but the teas were delightful! Though I'm not super keen on the cardboard straws and if I ever remember, I'll have to bring my own straw. It doesn't seem like there's a restroom, and seating is limited (the table in the front always seems to be occupied). Try ambling over to the outdoor space across from Churrascaria Plataforma and next to Starbucks for sitting and sipping your beverage. read more

Not bad not bad. The boba tea is excellent and food is good. I wouldn't come here for food as a priority but certainly would for the drinks. I got the Ho Ho Fruity & and Oolong Tea Latte which both I'd highly recommend. Most boba places I go to serve the drinks way too sweet unless you reduce the sweet level but this place serves them perfect as is. I can appreciate this since sometimes I'll forget to adjust. Highly recommended. Stop by and enjoy a great drink and conversation with an old friend. -Touchdown read more

We were craving bubble tea and found Ho Ho Te, which had a ton of rave reviews here on Yelp. WARNING: this is not your typical young millennial boba place with a diverse menu of slushies, milk teas, sinkers, etc. Ho Ho Te is more of an authentic, traditional Taiwanese tea place, as evidenced by their elevated & sophisticated interior design. We came in on a late Monday afternoon and were assisted immediately! We settled on the "BabyFace", which boasts a mix of amino acids & proteins that would be a collagen booster to make you look younger (hence - "babyface"). Not sure if all its claims are true, but apparently it was one of their best sellers, so we got it anyway. The bill came out to be almost $7 for the drink! OMG. This is with NO additional add-ons. $7 for one drink? The tea itself tasted alright. It certainly did not change my life and was sincerely not worth $7. It reminds of me a lot of a traditional, cold tea they give you at any Asian restaurant with jelly sinkers. The taste is very subtle. It almost seemed watered down. We really wanted to like this place but $7 for a drink that is just jelly and basic tea? Would not visit again. read more

I have enjoyed multiple orders of the eel bowl, when serviced by Pauline, who provides outstanding service. However, when she is not there a Hispanic male employee behaves angry and aggressive as though he wants to beat me. He snatches receipts from my bag, if I ask for a receipt that displays my total balance, rips the paper seal from the hot tea cup, when I request a lid to cover the hot tea. Not placing a seal and lid on a hot beverage could lead to me burning myself. On several occasions the cup lost its form and lid separated causing me to nearly drop the cup. I have noticed that the food does not taste the same when he takes and prepares my order. The same food that usually tastes good-the tea is too strong and the eel bowl does not taste as good as it usually does. I have decided not to place orders with him any longer and to wait for Pauline to return and place my order. To avoid his aggressive and unpleasant behavior. I am fearful that he may do something untoward to my food. read more
