    Needed a snack and Nom Tea did the job. It is a small shop with a few seats serving rice balls, food and drinks. Decided on the Japanese onigiri which is crabmeat, seaweed and egg. Fresh, warm, and tasty. Would definitely try to stop by again to try other items on the menu.

    Nom Tea is a great local spot for bubble tea! It's so convenient to finally have a bubble tea shop right here in Rego Park--no more trips to Elmhurst or Forest Hills just to get my fix. I especially enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee, but the fruit teas are also refreshing and flavorful. Their onigiri is excellent too--cheap, filling, and perfect for a quick bite. My favorites have been the kani and tuna. I'm knocking off one star because the food can take a while if you order in person. On one visit, it took over 15 minutes to get two onigiri, even though only two people were ahead of me. They do accept mobile orders through ChowBus, which might be a better option if in a hurry. The interior is tiny, with just three counter seats, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. Still, a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

    This is a simple, small space for quick bites and bubble tea. I wanted something small to go with my bubble tea. I typically always get Taro. The bubble tea was decent, not the best I've had. I did try the food. I got the shrimp tempura onigiri and 2 piece wings. I enjoyed the food more than the bubble tea. I would come here again to give them another shot for the tea. The wings were really good. I'd definitely get more than 2 pieces next time. As expected with most take out places, service was quick :)

    Roasted Brown Sugar ( Milk Tea) and Jasmine Green Milk Tea
    Kathleen W.

    This is a true hidden gem in Rego Park! It's my favorite places to go to for bubble tea in this neighborhood. The staff are always so nice and you can order via the touch screen or at the counter. They have an amazing combo where you could get a chicken sandwich, fries, and a fruit tea for only $11.50. Their horoscope fruit teas are refreshing and their milk teas are creamy with a good tea flavor. This time I got a roasted brown sugar milk tea and a jasmine milk tea, both with bubbles. The bubbles were chewy and the milk teas were delicious! Always one of my go to's!

    Fried Chicken Wings
    Ethan P.

    For their wings alone, Nom Tea deserves more hype. I was not expecting an unassuming tea place -- that seems to be more popular for their drinks than their food, mind you -- to become a regular takeout spot, but here we are. The spicy chicken wings are always perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of breading on the outside and ridiculously juicy chicken on the inside. And most notable is the spice blend they use to season the wings. Whatever it is, it genuinely surpasses most fried chicken in any form that I've experienced so far in my life. There's value to be found elsewhere on the menu, too; the chicken sandwich combo meal, for example, feels downright cheap for what you're getting. As far as quick eats in Rego Park go, Nom Tea is without a doubt toward the top!

    Mango Pomelo Pulp
    Johnny Y.

    I think doing takeout might not be as great as eating it fresh. As ugly as the burger looked. It definitely still hit the spot. Bit on the smashed side but overall its good. Can't go wrong with the sugary drinks too! The Mango Pomelo Pulp was so refreshing! Takoyaki was on point! was still actually steaming when we got the order. I would say a bit of the disappointment was the sweet potato fries. Not sure how other businesses does it. But some knows how to get it to you crispy all the time. Maybe double fry? But, we airfried it again to crisp it up even though it was one piece of mush. Still tasted good. This is a great spot for the youngsters! for old folks like me. This would be a once a month kind of spot.

    Absolutely love this place and is definitely a great addition to the neighbourhood. Hubby is Taiwanese and he can't get enough of this place.. their chicken sandwich and onigiri are always on point! We even ordered a party sized order of onigiri (or what my friends refer to as Pokémon food..) bring to our friends and they loved it! Since it was a large order, we asked if there's a discount and the shop owner was so accommodating. I've definitely returned more than 10 times since but we just love it!

    White Peach Oolong Milk Tea
    Carina H.

    Making a decision on what to order was tough! There were so many flavors of tea to choose from, but I went with the White Peach Oolong Tea. It was so good, my boyfriend kept stealing it from me. The flavor was smooth and creamy but not too sweet. While I can't speak much to service or ambiance because this was a food delivery order, I hope to one day visit the location! The Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken was seasoned exactly the way I like it with pieces of crispy basil.

    I love this place! The food and drinks are all good. The staff have always been friendly and they really care about their food. The place is very small but there's a couple seats in the shop. I have also ordered delivery from them and the packaging has always been top notch. They poke holes in the bag so the fried food doesn't get soggy. My favorite drink is the Pisces drink because we are the best!

    Milk tea with boba
    Sep B.

    This is a cute new spot that opened up in the neighborhood. I popped in for a late dinner and got a grilled chicken sandwich (come with lettuce, tomato, and sauce) without the sauce (the sauce is house-made and is similar to a ranch). The chicken was juicy and moist, and for a straight up grilled chicken , it was good! What would have made this better is if the bun had been slightly toasted. But overall, 9/10 for a fast-food chicken sandwich. I also got a classic milk tea with bubbles (boba is a topping), and a tuna and kimchi onigiri. The boba was squishy and it tasted fresh, and I forgot to ask for no sugar. But even with sugar, it wasn't terribly sweet. Also, major points for using good boba! I drink a lot of bubble tea, and it's my second favorite drink, so I hold high standards for bubble teas. I give the bubble tea a solid 10/10.

    Taiwanese Spicy Popcorn Chicken
    Gordon Y.

    Drinks are generally well made, but my favorite thing here is their Taiwanese popcorn chicken, both regular and spicy. They always fry it very well, crispy and juicy, excellent snack. Service is friendly and quick. Best bubble tea shop around for me.

    Returned to try their taiwanese popcorn chicken. Better to eat right away. Took it home and was steamy but still tasty. Good portion. Their horoscope series tea was still too sweet even when we asked for less sweetness. The mango pomelo is not the same as my favorites from 2 other places, which use fresh fruits. ------ Replaced a bakery and now is a bubble tea/snack place, but more for takeout since has very small counter area by the window (for 2 people maybe). Had their matcha latte. $4.75 for medium. Crystal boba is a new favorite topping bec not sweet at all. Added 60 cents. I have to try how their regular boba is so next time. Also many other drink options - like their horoscope and cake series. Snack food available too. Tried their shrimp tempura and HK (spam and egg) riceballs. Around $4 per. Pretty good. Doesn't beat the price of Sakura ya market onigiri prices where I get sometimes but Nom's are made to order so still warm. Will get from here when craving again. Debit card accepted but 3% fee. :( So cash is better.

    Newest addition to the Rego Park area. I got the Korean fried chicken wings and Onigiri rice ball. The onigiri rice ball was filled with so much Japanese mayo that it was not tolerable to eat, the Korean fried chicken wasn't crispy enough the sauce is just okay. The space is small so it's not a sit down spot, more of a take out and something small quick bite to go spot, you order your food through a kiosk. The food comes between 15-20 minutes.

A court injunction barred the US operators from using the brand's trademarks, forcing a viral rebrand to "? Tea" in New York. Headquarters' Allegations: According to court documents, the corporate office revoked the operators' trademark rights after claiming: - Unauthorized Expansions: The US operator opened a Los Angeles location without prior corporate approval. - Unapproved Ingredients: The franchise was sourcing ingredients independently, violating strict corporate quality and recipe standards. - Hiding Profits: Headquarters accused the operators of voiding their contract by allegedly hiding store revenues and bypassing royalty payments. The Franchisee's Perspective: The US operators disputed the claims. Before the courts stepped in, franchisees alleged that corporate HQ had attempted to aggressively renegotiate the ownership equity, attempting to slash the operator's share from 80% to 30% after the US locations proved highly lucrative. Current Status & Rebranding: Due to the legal injunction, the affected stores were forced to scrub the name "Molly Tea" from their storefronts, uniforms, and delivery apps. The operator complied by covering up the logos and using hand-drawn question marks on cups, quickly earning the nickname "? Tea" among fans.

Ordering is digital. You place your order and pay at a self serve kiosk. The serving team behind the counter was working diligently to prepare all the drinks. I ordered the Coconut Mango Boom with sago. It was creamy, refreshing, and packed with sweet mango flavor. The tiny sago pearls add a nice chewy texture to the drink. The menu also offers a wide variety of drinks, including matcha, fruit teas such as grapefruit, guava, and even kale, as well as traditional Chinese teas like jasmine and longjing (aka dragon well).

We walked into a cozy space with a comfortable feel that makes it easy to settle in for a bit, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between modern and relaxed. The drinks themselves are the main draw and largely deliver. We ordered the Coconut Mango Boom, the standout on the menu, and it came loaded with a generous chunk of actual mango that made the whole thing feel more substantial than your average fruit tea. The Triple Matcha is another strong option for anyone looking for a matcha drink. Toppings were consistently chewy and the flavor balance across most of the lineup leans on the lighter, less sweet side, which works well for us. Where things get complicated is the wait. This location runs long on order times fairly regularly, and during busier stretches or when delivery orders are stacking up, a single drink can take thirty to forty minutes. The staff are generally efficient and straightforward, which suits the format, but the kitchen and barista workflow seems to struggle with volume in a way that other HeyTea locations do not. If you are already a HeyTea regular, the Long Island City location is a convenient option for the area, and the menu quality holds up to what the brand does elsewhere. Just plan accordingly on timing and you will leave happy. We would come back for the Coconut Mango Boom, but we would order ahead and build in a buffer before we need to be anywhere else.

Even after moving away, we would still stop by whenever we were in the area because it was a favorite of theirs and a good memory for them. Unfortunately, over our past several visits, the drinks have become extremely disappointing. This is not a one-time issue. The cups are being filled with an unreasonable amount of ice, leaving barely any actual drink. At this point, it feels like we are paying for a cup of ice and a tiny amount of product. The drinks are so watered down that my daughters often don't even want to drink them. I honestly don't understand what happened. When businesses are trying to market a product, they give out samples and work hard to get children excited about it. But once they have regular customers, they shouldn't start using cheap tactics to cut costs while charging people full price. Selling mostly ice as a drink is unacceptable and feels like a complete waste of customers' money. What we received was essentially overpriced ice water, not a proper boba tea. After several disappointing visits, we are done and will not be returning.
