    I have my new favorite here its the ube boba milk. Its so creamy and delicious and the sweetness is perfect. I really like this location because its not crowded even its located close to ktown. I went and got the large ube boba and its so good! The boba was perfectly cook as well. I highly recommend!

    One of the best brown sugar bubble teas I've had but oh so expensive for such a small cup. It's close to $9 (after tax) for their signature Brown sugar boba milk but the sweetness level and the texture of the bubbles were absolute perfection. Place was bright and clean and had a few tables for seating. Workers were fast and friendly. Only one kiosk though, which might slow down the ordering process.

    This location is pretty large compared to the one in Flushing. There was plenty of seating. There was a line but it moved pretty fast. You can customize your drinks with the level of sweetness and how much ice you want. This place is known for its bubbles. They are perfectly chewy with the right amout of sweetness. The ube milk didn't have very strong ube flavor. I did like the milky consistency. The bubbles of course are the star.

    this is my favorite bubble tea spot in new york city. the warm boba really stands out. it has an incredible gooey, chewy texture that really sets it apart. i got the brown sugar boba, which is a pretty standard flavor. i was able to adjust the sweetness. it was a good size and very refreshing on a hot day. the service is very fast and the staff was really nice. someone else had taken my order, and the staff was happy to remake mine. it wasn't too busy inside lots of seating available. overall, i definitely recommend checking out this location.

    Pretty decent spot for boba tea near ktown, this location has a big seating area, super inviting. I will have to try their fruit tea next time!

    Was looking for a pick me up and found Xing Fu Tang on Yelp. I think the most expensive item on the menu is the Gold Foil Boba ($16.99). That was a bit much, so I stuck with something more down to earth. The Thai Tea ($7.99, or $8.70 with tax) was good, although the boba was a wee bit on the soft side for my liking. This might be due to it being later in the day. Drinks come in only one size. This is one of the larger boba shops I've seen during my visit to NYC, and it's also clean. Plenty of space for people to wait for their drink orders. There's a little bit of seating, that is spaced out in a way that doesn't feel cramped at all. It was a bit unclear how the line forms. They could benefit from a sign with an arrow that says "line forms here", with an arrow pointing left of the divider. It's easy to walk in on the wrong side if you're not paying attention, especially when you naturally want to walk closer to the counter in order to be able to read the tiny text on the menu that is posted on the wall behind the counter. They have big images of the drink, with tiny text underneath. It's very hard to read from a distance. The workers here don't look very happy, especially the guy who took orders at the register. DIdn't seem like he wanted to be there. Just going through the motions. Even forgot to ask about sweetness or ice preference, which all boba shops tend to ask when you order a drink that can be customized. Saw him making drinks afterwards with the same blank "I don't want to be here" look on his face. The other 2 workers looked less unhappy.

    Xing Fu Tang is big yum. Can't beat the original in Taiwan (which is the first one I ever went to) but the boba is a great consistency. They have the fortunes here too! Clean, brightly lit. People are nice.

    Idk... I first experienced XFT in HK... when the brown sugar boba crazed was on overdrive. Their gimmick is this giant wok cooking boba... I haven't had a boba in a while and this XFT opened on 5th Ave new my work, plus they are promoting an "Ube" drink series. The shop is clean, very clinically white... idk, my experience was a little weird... there was no line, I walked up to the counter... and ordered my drink. "Dirty Ube Latte". The girl took my order, I paid. She then placed my cup to the side... guessing someone else would THEN take it to make said order (?)... like how Starbucks runs their assembly line. I went to the area to wait for my drink.... I see my cup... but no one's working on it.... There were workers busy with the social media stuff (really? Do you even need influencers? No one even trust their views anymore... so blah). Anyway, another min passed - the girl who took my order - had to make my drink bc NO ONE was working behind the counter. Finally got the Dirty Ube Latte... and it looks really good. Alas... the drink was horrible... had no taste, it was super milky... zero sugar... and the coffee topping was useless... did not add value whatsoever.... Unless it's only for the look. $8 wasted. Guess I can write this spot off... rather splurge for my coconut Ube latte at GS.

    Fresh warm oooey gooey springy boba. Creamy coffee foam. Delicious sago. A recipe for perfection on a warm April day in Manhattan. The lines are short and quick and the (small) wait is worth it. Service is nice and patient and the person at the register was kind enough to explain and ask about all the options - low ice, low sugar ftw. Will be back!

    Brown Sugar Boba Milk

    Pros: - their tapioca is ALWAYS on point, I've yet to dislike their tapioca, the only boba tea place I get tapioca at - my usual is either the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea (w/ oat milk) or the Chrysanthemum w/ Honey Jelly, both are sooo good - service was quick and staff were very nice Cons: - nothing to mention here~ Comments: - went around 5PM on Wednesday, it wasn't busy at all - you do need a receipt to use the bathroom - they played the music very low, which isn't a bad thing but I wish it was slightly louder

    Jasmine GT w honeycomb w boba came out to a whopping $10+!! Drink itself was $7.50 + upsize + boba. Inside is clean and spacious tho. Love that there is a fortune draw built into the wall Tea was yummy but the boba was too soft for me

    Soft serve (milk tea flavor)
    Deborah W.

    I stopped by around 5 PM on a Monday afternoon. There were quite a few people eating but no one in line. Typically, I feel like when you go to a boba shop the workers give some sort of acknowledgement. However, when I went up to the register, there was an awkward few minutes where I was just standing at the cash register wondering if anyone was going to come over. When I finally got my order taken, my order came out very quickly. I got a soft serve which came with hot bobba at the bottom. Flavor was great, just a bit too sweet though. But the consistency of the soft serve was super creamy and a great treat. The cost of the item is quite steep but it's actually very filling. I've been into the restaurant a few times but I felt that, unfortunately, this time, the store itself felt very messy, especially in the seating area. All in all, they have great options in terms of drinks and soft serve but the space does not feel the best kept and service was ok.

Stay nearby as they just shout your order number here! The dry cumin lamb noodles had great flavor and the lamb was superb. Unfortunately I felt like our noodles were a bit too dense and not as enjoyable to eat as it could've been. We also got the spicy cucumber salad and they were SO spicy??? Really great flavor again, but wow those were the spiciest I've ever had!

    Headline Story: Four…read moreFour South Village has ambitions of becoming a chain, with global reach and the pervasiveness of a P. F. Changs. I hope this plan works out because Four Four South Village is forking amazing. More so, I want a Four Four South Village in my home town. I want a Four Four South Village in my home town right now! * * * Main Point: Four Four South Village is a Taiwanese noodle shop. They have dry noodles, but wet is totally what you want to do. They have one of the most amazing stocks I have ever had in a bowl of Asian noodles. I have never been a super-fussy-about-the-stock pho eater. But Four Four South Village convinced me there is a higher better way. For those who want to climb peaks looking for the ultimate stock at the temple at the top of the mountain, This is a noble calling and the rewards for pure-minded search will be great. Four Four South Village is a serious candidate to be the temple on the highest mountain. * * * Footnotes: 1) Tomatoes are a great thing to put in your soup. 2) Get tripe and tendon to put in your soup. Tendon is particularly amazing. The actual beef called beef is actually on the tough side. It is the only downside to this beautiful place. 3) Spice congregates at the bottom of the bowl. Be aware. You are minding your own business and then you take a spoonful drawn heavily from the bottom of the bowl. That will wake you up. A lot. 4) Side dishes rule here. Get more than just soup. They have an amazing pressed tofu buried in a mound of fresh cilantro. Usually I loathe, execrate, despise and abhor cilantro. I once wrote in another review that I have a court order out on cilantro. Cilantro has to stay at least 200 yards away from my house. Cilantro can only visit my children in the presence of a social worker. I will make an exception to the court order for the pressed tofu and cilantro at Four Four South Village. That dish was so good Cilantro and I may decide to go into couples counseling to see if we can make our relationship work. * * * All in all, Four Four South Village is absolutely amazing. Put it on your calendar. Get it on your datebook. If you don't live in New York, Well they have places in Toronto where they started. If you don't live in Toronto either, Plane Tickets Exist.

    I went to this casual Taiwanese spot a while back with a group. The food here was overall tasty…read morewith the best thing being definitely the spicy beef & tendon noodle soup along with the braised beef with noodles which makes sense as it's a Taiwanese beef noodle spot. The rest of the dishes were still pretty tasty with a notable unique version of dan dan noodles. I didn't have a drink and I don't think anyone else did. Service was fine and the place is very casual. On a side note, I got a Tea Egg and I wouldn't really recommend it much as it lacked the flavor of most tea eggs. The first thing that arrived was one of the appetizers the Assorted Cold Dish with jade cucumber, black fungus in vinegar sauce, and spiced edamame. The portion was fine and they had a mixture of crunch and textures. It would be good to share though my preference of the mixtures was the Assorted Luwei with tofu, kelp knots, and boiled eggs. Referring to dishes braised in soy sauce, I particularly liked the kelp due to it's crunchy yet soft texture with the strips of tofu also being very tasty while the eggs as per the tea egg prior were alright. We also got as an appetizer the Spicy Braised Pig's Ear. A bunch of the other people at the table didn't really like this but I liked the texture mostly because I'm a fan of tendon and cartilage and this has that crunchy but soft texture almost like a crunchy jello. This spice was on the lighter end but it still had a little bit of heat. There was also the Seasonal Greens which were pretty tasty though not as necessary as most of the greens were included in the other dishes such as the pork chops and soups. There was also the Popcorn Chicken which had the usual white pepper and slight sweetness I associate with this version and it was solid and warm (though I wouldn't recommend it to go.) Overall, the appetizers were good but they aren't the star of this place. Best of the main dishes was as noted the Spicy Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup. Both the beef and the tendon in there were super tender. The noodles had the QQ texture I'd expect from a good Taiwanese spot. I have had richer beef noodle soups before but it was still well flavored and the bit of spice in there was a nice extra kick. A bit spicier by comparison was the Dan Dan Noodles which I was a bit surprised to see on the menu. They were prepared differently from the dan dan mein from other spots; more like a soupier noodle. By comparison to the beef/tendon noodle soup, it was more Sichuan peppercorn and spicier by comparison. Both were tasty with a slight preference to the former due to the different types of beef and I liked tasting the soup a bit better. We also got the Braised Beef With Noodles which is offered over rice or with noodles. Due to the great noodle texture, we got it over noodles of course. The beef again was tasty though I preferred it as a noodle soup. It was still good and I would order it on a different day. Our only non noodle dish was the Fried Pork Chops With Rice which was fine. The pork chops have the usual white pepper and light sweetness you find in this style though it was a bit chewy. Outside of the pork and rice, there was also some cucumbers and it came with half a boiled egg. This was as expected alright but I would recommend getting noodles as it's definitely their specialty.

    Actually surprisingly great! Surprising because there was nobody sitting inside on a Saturday…read morenight at 7, although they seemed to be doing a thriving take out business!
