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

No real interaction with the staff but they are efficient. Place is clean with some space for seating.

This location is accessible via A train at 42nd Street Port Authority. Upon arriving there was a woman in front of me arguing with the staff persistently haggling the price to be lowered, but to no avail. Woman, no means no! There are other bubble tea businesses within the locale that may appease your needs, but not this particular Gong Cha whom apologized for the inconvenience of the inability to lower the price on the product ordered. As I waited patiently, I took photos of this business' environment. The staff stated the cash register is not working and currently unable to accept either credit or debit cards, but cash only payments. Ergo, I was unable to obtain a sales receipt nor a drink label printed. I wonder if the staff reboot the register or check their internet connection to be offline as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] Customer service is average. Well... if the staff can lower the price for one customer why not lower it for ALL customers? Surely, why not make my drink order as inclusion for lowering the price, please? Hell no, of course not! The conclusion was ironclad. In the real world, this cannot happen. As I stood on line waiting for this woman to let go and walk away from her argument I had shrunk to my own gnawing thoughts. I took photos of the atmospheric environment. There is a cute signage: "Bubble tea where refreshment meets creativity." The pink metal water bottle is very adorably cute which is something that I would certainly purchase. Peach green tea, medium $7.25 My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. At 30% sugar level request, it was slightly higher in sugar content. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg would shake his head at me in disbelief with disapproval and disappointment for consuming this excessively sugary drink. The peach green tea was not the cause of the sweetness but a man-made sugar embed measurement error. Nevertheless, this Gong Cha satisfied my bubble tea fix as it is now my addiction - in addition to my other addiction, writing. [1] O/O/O = Out Of Order

I didn't realize golden bubble literally just meant golden boba balls. I thought it would be some sort of special milk tea flavor LOL. But it wasn't so it was just your typical milk tea (which was pretty good) with LOTS (too much) of boba (not good). The boba to tea ratio could definitely be a lot better, half the drink was boba which is way too much. I also wish the boba was a little less chewy. They recommended 50% sugar so I got 25% and it was still too sweet for me. The upside is that it did satisfy the boba craving for the moment. And the service was quick! It was also a little bit hard to find this store because people were doing construction around the building.

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.

I walked in on a Sunday around 5pm and it was empty. $8 for a soft serve is quite pricey but you can get 20% off if you order a drink. The soft serve itself was smooth and had a nice tieguanyin flavor, but a tad on the sweet side and I would've like it if the flavor was a little more intense. The portion is generous as it should because it's $8! I used my spoon to eat it and there were ice cream completely filled from top to bottom. Overall, it's not a must get item whenever I'm in the area given the price but it's a nice treat every once in awhile.

Between the ice cream in mason jars to the boba teas, everything has been spot on, and can be customized to your taste preferences. What people aren't talking about is the incredible value Surreal offers -- from my two years of living in NYC (and coming back multiple times since), I don't believe there's an ice cream spot that matches the value here. Mountains of ice cream to be devoured solo or enjoyed with a friend (every bite is delicious), but it won't break the bank. 12/10 would recommend! One note, the inside of the store is pretty small, so plan to eat your dessert outside, or, if you can get lucky and snag some of the limited counter space inside, know that you probably can't dine with a large group inside.

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!
