As one of several boba spots in New World Mall, Gong Cha has the distinction of being one of the longest surviving businesses in the entire court, while also remaining consistent in serving very average drinks. I've come here more often than other places and often come back with the same, decent but not mind blowing result.
Located in the far north corner to the left of the stairs (#1), the Gong Cha stand is so easy to miss that most people do. It almost looks like a hallway corridor that just so happens to serve milk tea. Seating is in the rest of the food hall and the service is not slow but certainly not fast.
I've had a number of drinks here, ranging from oolong milk tea to a taro smoothie to my recent matcha strawberry milk tea. The latter was very sweet and not in a good way. The milk foam green tea was their best seller for awhile and the lychee oolong was another favorite. Having had both, I can't say if they were necessarily worth it, but they made for a solid thirst quencher.
Unlike other boba joints, they take credit cards. While I always recommend having cash anyway, this, along with their rewards stamp card, are two more reasons to give them a thumbs up overall.
