It's not as big as other locations though there were a few seats with tables by the windows. On this day, this location didn't have any more egg tarts as well as some drink ingredients. I ordered from the self-serve kiosks (there are 2 available). You can also ordered from the counter. Thank you to the employee for helping me. There's a special offer to collect all 5 city magnets (Fresh Meadows, Central Park, Midtown, Flatiron, and Chinatown) until May 24, 2026 by buying 1 drink and 2 egg tarts (or 2 drinks if there isn't any egg tarts but you might want to check before purchasing). If you get 3 magnets, you receive a $5 off $10+ coupon, and with 5 magnets, you receive a $20 gift card. Got my drinks and the location magnet for food store. Only 2 days left (until May 24) to try to get a coupon, should I go for it? Happy eating and drinking!

I visited during its soft opening, when all drinks and pastries were offered at a 12% discount. I ordered the Strawberry Lemon Blast in the jumbo size with the default 50% sugar level. The quality was consistent with other Tea Pulse locations I have visited in Manhattan's Chinatown. The drink was refreshing, not overly sweet, and especially enjoyable on a humid, rainy day in NYC. The staff member who assisted me was friendly, and I was able to receive a complimentary magnet after following the location on Instagram and making a post about my visit.

First 300 to purchase 2 drinks also get a chance at lucky draw. I got a bag. Ordered the Amber Ceylon tea, and Brown Sugar milk tea, both 70% sugar and one with less ice. The ceylon tea was good, but still very sweet. Boba was good and not too chewy. Will probably try 30 or 50% sugar next time. Few seating areas. Overall quick service. Congratulations on another grand opening!

Xing Fu Tang Hudson Yards is a Taiwanese boba shop located inside one of Manhattan's busiest…read moreshopping and dining areas. We walked up to a convenient setup for grabbing a drink while exploring Hudson Yards, with a bright, modern counter that kept the brand's focus on freshly made tapioca pearls and brown sugar-based drinks. Compared to smaller bubble tea shops, the experience here felt more like a quick stop in a high-traffic area, but watching the boba-making process added a more unique element that set it apart from a standard grab-and-go counter. The brown sugar boba milk is the standout drink and the main reason to visit. We ordered one and found the caramel-like brown sugar flavor giving the drink a rich sweetness, while the fresh boba added a chewy texture that made it different from standard tapioca pearls. The drink had a comforting balance of milk, sweetness, and boba, and it worked well as a treat when we were looking for something indulgent. The menu also offered a variety of tea-based and fruit drinks, including options with green tea bases and fruit flavors. We appreciated that the drinks could be adjusted to different sweetness preferences, since the brown sugar flavors can naturally be on the richer side. The tea itself was lighter compared to the stronger brown sugar notes, so choosing the right combination depended on whether we preferred a milkier or more refreshing drink. Service was quick and the staff were friendly during our visit. The location can get busy, especially with the amount of foot traffic in Hudson Yards, so there may be a wait during peak times. The shop is better suited for grabbing a drink while walking around the area rather than a place to sit and spend a long time. The team moved through orders with efficiency, and the drinks came out without much delay. Overall, Xing Fu Tang Hudson Yards is a convenient option for fresh boba in a popular Manhattan destination. While the atmosphere is more focused on convenience than a full café experience, the fresh-made pearls and signature brown sugar drinks are still the main reasons to stop by.

While exploring the Hudson Yards shops, we came across the XFT store. Initially there store looked…read morereally pretty from far, but as I spent few minutes I noticed how undermined it was. The had a sitting area on the side where all cushions were stained. They had the lucky box on the side, which actually had the luck notes, but this area as also dirty on the floor. There was a huge XFT cup also for photo prop. The store was popular as we so many people stopping by and ordering their drinks. We ordered the famous Gold Foil boba milk tea, which was $17, probably got so expensive due to price of gold rising :p. I also ordered the Mango pomelo sago, but the staff informed me they had no grapefruilt pomelo, but I ordered anyway. The gold foil tea came out quickly. It was well made, boba was good. But the mango pomelo took some time and it wasn't good either. There were chunks of mango that didn't mix well with the milk. I enjoyed the sago but rest of the drink was a bummer. My overall experience at this XFT store wasn't as majestic as the one by St Marks.

This one was my preferred of the 3. Bright and citrusy (mostly tastes like orange juice.) All 3 drinks allow the option of chia seeds as your topping and comes in a reusable plastic mason jar! The straw seal even has a rubber stopper if you want to leave it in the fridge to drink at a later time.

I took 10 steps outside the store when I literally spit my drink out on the street. It was coffee mixed with orange juice, which was nasty and something they do have on the menu, but it was NOT what I ordered, which was a basic iced latte with no customizations. I returned back here less than 30 seconds later. The "barista", the short woman with glasses, proceeded to argue with me instead of making the correct drink. First, it was that I did not order the drink correctly, so I showed her the receipt that doesn't say orange juice anywhere. Then, she claims I picked up someone else's order, which also no, because I have the drink with the label and my receipt. Finally, she claims I am just imagining the taste of orange juice and that "they made the drink correctly." Despite showing the receipt, offering 99% of the drink back, and asking her to review security cameras, she REFUSED to make the correct drink because her exact words were "you already left the store and we don't know what you've done with the drink since." You mean to tell me that I left the store, found a store that sells orange juice, and poured it in just to bother her, all within 30 seconds? No lady, I just want the drink I ordered. I shouldn't have to debate you on why the drink is wrong and to have to leave a review because you refused to make the drink correctly. This woman has an IQ lower than her age, and this so-called coffee chain is somehow worse than Dunkin. I will not be spending another cent here.
