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. read more

This is my favorite xing fu tang purely based on the layout it actually has the feel of a café since it is bigger and actual seating. The counter has a bar feel with bar seating. There are tvs playing Asian music videos and music playing. Usually xing fu locations only have standing room only. This puts this location on another lvl then the rest. I tried some unique drinks 1st was the strawberry Boba strawberry milk tea. The strawberry taste was distinct yet balanced and not overly sweet. Also there was not an overly artificial taste. As with all locations the Boba is the star. The strawberry Boba has a nice sweet chew that had great texture and bounce. The green tea was strong tea flavor without being bitter it was not overly sweet I will definitely recommend this location specifically because of the seating and ambiance Service was quick and packaging was efficient read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Xing Fu Tea is a great way to celebrate my first boba milk tea since moving to New York. Their brown sugar boba milk (isnt a tea) but it sure satisfies my cravings. The drink was a little over $8 after tax, and I would consider coming again to show my friends around. Huge shoutout to Miho for guiding me on some of their popular items and a drink that would best fit my cravings. Although I ended up with the basic and classic drink, it was much appreciated as a first timer. The inside is a great escape from the outside heat, and the seating area is nice! This could be a nice spot to study if you are a student or someone that works from home. read more

My strong proclivity for bubble tea continues. This Xing Fu Tang is located in Koreatown between East 32nd and East 33rd Street on Fifth Avenue in Midtown East, Midtown West. It is located in the Herald Square vicinity. I needed a cool down at day's end to conclude a very arduous, exceedingly difficult work week and bubble tea is the resolution as a washout. Xing Fu Tang is surely a Taiwanese multinational chain of bubble tea business. I do enjoy and appreciate various Chinese ethnics' food/drink cuisine with reverence, despite my ethnic roots are NOT Taiwanese. This business is surprisingly gargantuan retail space which contains indoor seating of tables and chairs where patrons can linger with a purchase and doom scroll with their eyes staring at a screen. I concur and agree with previous Yelpers commenting on the retail space size and imagine the extortionate high rent along with exorbitant expenses. This space is certainly gargantuan which, I think, is better suited for a cafe rather than a bubble tea business. Peach Oolong tea, medium $7.50 I am a confirmed verifiable herbal jelly lover. My default topping herbal jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is included in my order. I never request milk in any of my tea drinks - either hot or cold. The tea alone was refreshing, but with the add-on toppings of my favorite herbal jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 was delicious chilled and fresh. The herbal jelly was utterly paucity for quantity. One word: frugal! The peach syrup is the sugar addictive which include fresh pieces of peach fruit, therefore, I obliged to request "less sugar" which former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg would be proud of my sugar intake level. I highly despise extreme sweet drinks for the high sugar content volume and agree with former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg's limiting sugar level initiatives consumption of sugary drinks. As usual, the ice melted entirely during my long-haul subway ride home. As I waited for my order to be fulfilled I took two fortunes which both topics pertain to love. It is very easy to obtain by blindly pulling one red wooden stick which contains a number then locate the drawer number on the wall to pull out the fortune. Nota Bene: The fortunes are written in both Chinese (simplified) and English which I can determine two characters based on my past adult Chinese language classes. The one particular character stands out: love 愛 traditional vs. love 爱 simplified because love is a powerful emotion as my desideratum. These Chinese fortune sticks (kau chim 求籤) are inspired from flat wooden sticks inscribed with text or numerals in a Buddhist temple. It evoke memories of my beloved family member who treks annually to a Buddhist temple obtaining annual fortunes for our entire family prior to Lunar New Year. Customer service is attentive and my order was fulfilled accurately and in a timely matter. No one made any comment to hinger me obtaining two fortunes. There is a gargantuan wok of boba being cooked and prepared in a open kitchen setting near the cashier. There are abundant napkins with the business name/logo printed which I grabbed a handful. Facilities are available on the premise with access code written on the bottom of the sales receipt. read more

Bubble tea shop on the 5th Ave corridor - big space, I'm sort of surprised they can have something this big. Rent must be high is a guess, but they seem to be doing well. Bubble tea (classic or otherwise) can be partial ice or none, sweetness not adjustable on most, and some hot or cold. Service was patient, and they have some tables to sit out at and relax, which was nice. No rush. They have a big wok of boba in the front where you can see how much they put in, nicely. Milk and tea wasn't too sweet, so that was nice. Bubbles a little soft but still some chewiness, lightly sweet. Definitely a solid bubble tea, will be back here to try others. Taiwanese shop. They also have a small area to pick up fortunes - you can pick a long stick and see what fortune you'll get that day in the wall! read more

Kinda awkward ordering experience, not even a hi or hello lol. Tried this last Sunday as I was craving for a good Taro Milk Boba. Looked cute inside but so packed, managed to snag a stool. Not really the best ambience coming in for a cold drink. I was told the Taro Milk Tea won't be the same as others as theirs is more natural, I wasn't deterred. After paying $10+ for it and tasting it, I took just a few sips, called it a loss, threw it, and ordered from Gong Cha which was a couple of steps away. $7+ after, I was a happy camper. Sometimes you just have to stick to your tried and true. read more

The first time I ever had Xing Fu Tang was at their Flushing location at 40-52 Main Street that opened in 2020. Xing Fu Tang is one of my favorite bubble tea spots. Their bubble tea is so good and really taste like high quality tea!! At Xing Fu Tang, the tapioca pearls are typically stir-fried in brown sugar in a large wok in front of the customers before it's added to the beverage. On August 3rd, 2024, Xing Fu Tang opened their newest location in Koreatown at 325 Fifth Ave. This store is bright, spacious, and inviting. There are only a few tables and 3 counter seats. By the registers, there is a huge wooden box engraved with Chinese numericals that allows you to pick your lucky quote of the day. First, pick your stick from a huge wooden container right underneath that box. Then, referring to the number stated on that stick, you get one piece of paper from one of those tiny drawers. I've ordered strawberry boba milk tea and Chrysanthemum honey tea from here. Both are really good and the bubbles are so fresh. The strawberry boba milk tea is strawberry smoothie with handmade strawberry boba and tastes like Nesquik strawberry milk. The Chrysanthemum tea is light and refreshing. It comes with honey jelly, but I subbed it for brown sugar boba because I just like the brown sugar boba so much. Also, make sure you follow on Xing Fu Tang New York (@xingfutang_ny) instagram to get a free pin and other giveaways like stickers. read more

I got the matcha latte with strawberry boba. While the strawberry boba was delicious, the matcha was chunky and bitter. I expected more, especially since my drink was $10.

I didn't know it was a popular chain in Taiwan - but I understand the hype! This place makes its boba fresh, and you can see it bubbling in a pot. It was on the warmer side today, so we got a Chrysanthemum honey tea. That flavor is DEEP, and tastes exactly how you would expect a full brewed tea from chrysanthemum would taste. Inside may not be the best for studying, but they have a couple of cute seats for lounging about. ty for readinggg read more

Keki Modern Cakes

Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

Sundaes Best

I spontaneously went here on a night out and may have stumbled across the BEST asian gelato place…read moreever. The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once. The space itself is small, so expect to find a spot outside to eat but there are benches along the windows.

I love that they draw inspo from Asian snacks to derive their flavors - it's what makes Sundaes Best unique! I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

When I came around 5 pm, it was quite empty, with two employees working at the time, both very friendly and eager to help! Heads up, there is no seating here and is more of a takeout spot. I decided to get two tarts at the time, a black sesame and a yuzu lemon, since I felt like those were quite unique. The tarts themselves are your standard size. The black sesame one was toasty and had pronounced flavoring, and the yuzu lemon had a nice zesty bite to it. When it comes to consistency and texture of the tart, I don't think this place has the most mind-blowing selection of tarts, but I would come back again if I wanted a quick, small dessert!

Selections, and they are always baking more!

This is a solid Japanese restaurant. I did not know until I walked in that I had been in this space…read morebefore. I'd eaten here when it was a Thai restaurant about three years ago. The place has been completely redone since then with a brand new interior and still looks fairly new, in addition to being very spacious. The food was excellent too. From previous reviews, it appears most people come here for the ramen, which are about $19 a bowl. My friends and I tried the tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and a butadon (pork rice bowl). Everything was delicious and flavorful. However, four stars is an accurate assessment. I've had better tasting ramen with a more flavorful broth, and a larger portion with more meat at slightly lower prices. The food is good but not the best either.

Prince Tea House

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

Another customer noticed it too and very discreetly and politely waved over the woman working the counter to point out the pest without drawing too much attention.

Totally appreciate it's Manhattan, and Kips Bay is full of them with all of these pre-war buildings. Spotting a cockroach is one thing; spotting a cockroach, being informed and then blatantly ignoring it is another. Blatant health code violation.

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly.

Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be.

I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
