Gong cha has opened up shop in the same plaza as Gal Sushi and where was Tendou formerly located. As we received a flyer in the mail for the grand opening special, we had to check it out.
The space is pretty small. When we got there it was packed with people who were equally interested in taking advantage of the BOGO special. Yet despite the line up that snaked from the door to the back then around to the counter, the line was orderly, it moved quickly, and we were in and out of there in less than 20 minutes. They even served samples of their wintermelon milk foam drink for those waiting in line.
We ordered a total of six drinks. With the BOGO special, only a selection of their Top 10 drinks are eligible. Taro red bean drink was excluded from this offer. The drinks were made well and quickly. The texture of their tapioca and aiyu jelly were good. My drink (brown sugar oolong milk tea) had the perfect amount of sweetness for me at 30%.
If you're looking for a bubble tea place to hang out with friends at, is wait until after April 8 as they don't have much in the way of seating at the moment to facilitate the flow of foot traffic/orders. Happy to have a Gong cha close to home!
