We got the Thai rolled ice cream and it was awesome! They have a pretty large variety of typical ice cream novelties and flavors but seemed slow and I just wanted the basic rolled ice cream. This is a tourist area and the prices are high. They seem to be as much a toy shop as they are a sweets shop. But don't let that distract you when you want a creamy sweet special treat! The strawberry was full of flavor and just enough toppings to make it worth it and bring a lot of texture. Don't expect fast or cheap and be ready to make a lot of choices! read more

The Thai Milk Tea is amazing!! 10/10. Perfect sweetness and creaminess. The boba was perfectly chewy. The worker who took my order and also made it was very nice and attentive. The store is very nice, I believe i saw a claw machine. They also have stuff other than bubble tea like ice cream. The store is picture perfect! So if you plan on filming here DO IT! read more

I initially wanted bubble tea, but the prices were honestly a bit off-putting, so I was going to try something different like a bubble waffle. It didn't look like I could get it without ice cream, and I wasn't trying to have all of that sugar... but then a sign for a coin cheese waffle. It wasn't on the menu, so it took me a while to notice, but I had to give it a try. It took about 15 minutes, so while waiting I looked around... they had a claw machine which was kinda cool, and the spot overall is quite cute haha. When the waffle was finally ready, they gave it to me in food wrap, and it was HOT. There were no napkins provided, so I had to ask for some. I ate it on the go and it was super delicious. Great amount of cheese and the waffle itself was satisfying and fluffy. I've never had one before and I've never seen it anywhere... though the sign itself said it's popular on TikTok. That true? I deleted the app now, so it's too late XD. read more

That Sunday is so sweet I will have to drink water the rest of the week. I couldn't finish it so only get it if you have a really big sweet tooth. The fish waffle take about 7 mins to make and are plane.. they should drizzle them with something or maybe dust with alil powder sugar because they don't take like anything. But the place is super cute and they have all kinds of lil cute popmart things u can buy. They also do have military discount read more

I've been here 3 times in the last 2 years. EVERY TIME, the cashier/manager/owner(an old woman) is arguing with a customer or yelling rudely at their staff. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Expect to wait a long time for your order. This place desperately needs new ownership/management. This shop has a lot of potential to be an awesome shop but management is rude to their employees and their customers. They want your money and could not care less about the experience or quality to their product and service. Their menu is good, a lot of options and variety. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK. read more

I love this place. Great Thai milk tea and great service. Been coming here for many years and haven't failed me once.

I had never been to the waterfront area and as I was trying to find a parking space I saw this bubble tea place. There was no one in the store and it seemed like they still had a few parts of the store blocked off due to covid. There was a decent selection of items including bubble teas, slushies, and ice cream rolls along with various inserts like boba, mixed jellies, and other powders. I opted for a green apple slush with boba. Each add-on was a dollar. I've never been to a bubble tea place where they charge $1 for each add-on. The green apple slush was $7.99 and then one scoop of boba plus tax and I'm already up close to $10 for a drink. Yikes! Plus it's literally just ice and green apple flavoring. Nothing special. I'm sure someone is probably saying "if you don't like the prices, then don't go there!" I guess I'll take your advice because I won't be back. At least I can say I've been. The slush was okay but nothing special. Just a melted snow cone. No ambiance either especially for being so close to the water. read more

Overpriced for what you get. I don't recommend coming to Panda Tea House, even if it is the only boba shop in National Harbor. I got one of their most popular drinks, the Ube Milk Tea with boba, and it was genuinely pretty bad. 1. I was appalled to find out that the drink costs $10. I understand that rent around the area is probably high, but I used to live in San Francisco (which has even higher rent) and no boba shop has ever charged that much for a drink. 2. The drink itself was way too sweet and very grainy, similar to a protein shake. This is because they use flavored powder instead of real ingredients, which shows in the quality of the drink. 3. The boba was hard and stale (definitely not fresh). One good thing I will say about the place is that the interior of the shop is nice and well-decorated. They have a nice wall filled with merchandise and display cases with anime figures/products for sale, which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, if the rest of the drinks are as bad as the one I had, I can't recommend coming to Panda Tea House even if you have a craving for boba. Overprice and low-quality, their drinks will leave you feeling more unsatisfied than if you didn't get anything at all. read more

Cool and refreshing passionfruit slush with lychee bubbles really hit the spot on a hot August evening. I'm glad to see that places are giving you the option of controlling the amount of sugar that is added to your drink. I tried my drink at 25% and it was very good without the 100% added amount of sugar. You can go as low as zero. Store had a lot of cute things like the panda mugs. I'd like one for my birthday if you're wondering! It was a very hot day and it didn't feel like the air conditioning was on full blast. It was quite warm inside the store while I waited for my drink. read more

My daughter love this place every time we visit national harbor but this time was different , we order a milkshake and the cashier (old women ) was very rude , we order something and I think she don't understand or didn't hear well and when the order was ready I told her this is not what I order and she start screaming and I ask can I see the receipt and she continue arguing and I was very polite and calm and she continue screaming then I realize that when I confirm the order I didn't see that it said milk tea , but my point is I'm the customer you don't need to scream like that when I'm just asking for the receipt , Also they don't call it milkshake they call it smoothie that's why she put milk tea . So I will never go back to this place and be careful because the old lady like to argue with people . If I could put 0 star I will do it . read more

I'm giving them a four because I love their but the service I wack. Also, I've been to the one in pentagon city and the service is a little better but really depends on the day. Both locations are well kept. If you love this place is a place to check them out. read more

This is probably the only boba place in the National harbor, hard to miss. Nice ambiance and pretty extensive menu for different milk tea and fruity smoothies. I got the mango peach smoothie which comes with a little milk in it, really enjoyed it and recommend. I think it's a tard bit overpriced though but for the only boba place in the area it's a good option. read more

Amazing customer service, very friendly and patient as we tried to confirm there were dairy free options. My daughter was so happy to discover that they use dairy free powered milk so she was able to order almost any of the milk teas. Our drinks were wonderful and we will be back. read more

I've been to Panda Tea house a few times because my friend lives in national Harbor and whenever I go visit her I can't resist stopping and getting some Boba. I've never had any of their other desserts but I can say that their bubble tea is delicious. My go to is honeydew with fruit jelly and my friend always gets Thai tea with their house Boba and both always hit the spot. The interior also features a number of fun Asian snacks and goodies on their wall along with some tea and powders you can purchase and take home. It's really more of a take-and-go place, as there's not a lot of seating inside, but it's really nice to grab a drink and then wander along the harbor. read more

Unfortunately I can not base this experience off their actual food or service but I'm basing this off management. I traveled to the National harbor for kids day recently on a random Thursday. 1/3 of my visit to the Harbor was to treat my daughter to Panda Tea House but they weren't even open, despite the sign suggesting they should've been. I checked their Instagram page and website and neither mentioned them being closed on that day. Better communication about their hours would've been great. read more

This might be the worst bubble tea experience of my life. And there have been many bubble tea experiences, some of them not very good. Let's go through the lowlights: * Customer service is rude. It seemed like the person working there wished that we weren't there. Terrible service. * The menu has nothing other than what looks like low end powered drinks. No regular green or oolong bubble tea, etc. * The prices are ridiculous. Roughly 50 percent above what a good bubble tea should be and 100 percent more than what one would expect to pay for the garbage quality they serve. * Yes, bad quality drinks. The thai tea was unappealing. We barely finished half of it. * They charged $1.50 for a cup to split the drink. Lame. This place is terrible. read more

I do not understand the reviews for this place. This was one of THE BEST bobas I've ever had in my life. I got a milk tea taro with boba. There's so many options! They also have merchandise. There usually a line out the door, but it goes fast and it was so worth it - ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you! Also, in addition to the traditional methods, you can pay with Venmo and PayPal, super convenient! read more

This place is so expensive for the quality. My drink was pretty good but a bit grainy and I love Ube boba tea. It's around $8 for a tea with boba and you can find better for less. I didn't know I could change levels of ice or sweetness so it was a tad sweet but still good. They were a bit slow too and then we heard the person at the register explain that they don't have the ingredients for the ice cream (customers inquired about an egg allergy.) And the customer kept asking questions so someone from the back abruptly responded to them in a rude tone. The area is great so it's a good date spot but there's a lot of kids around. read more

Expectation vs. Reality This place is horrible, it's a scam and it's so cheap. We used the school coupons and they give us the worst shit ever. The coupon said that any one topping is included but when i asked for crystal boba they made me pay 1 dollar because it's not included ???? The LaRgE sIzE w/ 1 dollar bOba (the picture is included). Please never go to this place, -1000000000000000/1. *I pay one dollar cod. Customer service: awful, horrible, terrified, terrible Experiences: nasty, ghastly J & E P/S: please refund me 1 dollar tysm Bye and never visit again read more

The boba is so good!! The service is amazing too, employees are nice and helpful. I recommend coming here!

Got there and there was no line and two people behind the counter. Once I ordered, it took 20 minutes for them to make 4 drinks (nothing special about the drinks). Prices were kind of high in comparison to other boba tea places in the area and the ambience was pretty plain. Definitely not worth the wait for this place if there is any kind of line. read more

This may have been the star of my experience during my resort I love their pineapple winter melon bubble tea. It's the bomb and they have great customer service, they have the coolest guy that works there.

Ok after spending $84 in this tea place. My wife didn't like her drink and politely asked the attendants to please exchange her drink, she stated that she would exchange her drink, after a little while my wife went back to the counter to ask could she please get a lemonade instead. The lady told her that her policy will not let her replace her drink. I'm sorry what!!!! Just please replace my drink because it was not good. Lack of customer service, sorry there is enough margin on this transaction to replace one drink. A true disappointment.... - lack of AC.... In the store. Lack of foot traffic. And lack of customer service. read more

I got a Thai tea with white bubbles from there, and it was good. They have other items to choose from, such as milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, ice cream and egg waffles. During Covid, you can only carry your items out. The service was just polite and quiet. Just a suggestion for management, a little service with a smile would be nice. I'm glad that there is finally a boba place in the National Habour. I enjoyed my tea while walking around the waterfront. read more

Your average boba shop! They offer unique looking ice creams but I always just go for the boba.

I guess because it's the only boba shop near the harbor, we shouldn't have too high of an expectation. It was not good. I got the wintermelon milk tea. It didn't even taste like wintermelon and the boba was mushy. There was no chew to it. It literally smashes when you chew it. Costco boba bags tastes better than this. read more

The people running this place don't actually want customers. Went here with some friends from Germany. The lady at the register ignored us. Then got mad that my friend wanted to pay in cash. Tried to refuse the order, then insisted we count the money in front of her. After we counted the money in front of her, she took it and counted it again as if she hadn't just seen us count it in front of her. Mind you, the store is not cashless, she just didn't want to serve us. Then she took thirty minutes to scoop one cup of ice cream even though we were the only people in the store. The whole time she was visibly upset about having to serve customers...maybe she was having a bad day, but why push your negative energy off on the customer? read more

just now NEW I ordered a hot almond milk tea and the girl made a cold tea. When I let her know she made the order incorrect she said no she didn't and the order was already made.
