Gong Cha - Midtown HTX

I was hesitant to try their new Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme Milk Tea since I love cookies and cream flavored things but didn't know if this drink would be too sweet or pair well with boba. I decided to get a large with less ice and 50% sweetness (75% is the regular) and added pearl. The drink not only looked delicious but tasted it as well - perfect amount of sweetness and milk foam and actually did pair well with boba! I would have it again honestly. Service and ambiance inside was great too. Parking was easy in the lot outside, even though it is small.

Located in a small shopping plaza next to BWW, Gyu Kaku, and the dim sum spot in Midtown. Parking is available and easy to find. This location's interior is quite small compared to their Heights spot. The drinks were fine; we hung around for a bit after we got our drinks and the staff just went to watch videos on their tablets which was slightly odd. Overall, it's not a bad choice for the area; the only boba spots nearby are Kung Fu and the new Feng Cha within the lower downtown/Midtown area.

This one locates right next to Gyu kaku Drink is good and price range is OK.Parking is a bit tough to find if u go there during lunch hour

Super disappointed coming back.I've been trying to avoid caffeine for personal reasons so coming for my boba fix, I knew there were limited options for me to choose from.At first I wanted to get a slush, but preferred real fruit. Turns out, they don't use real fruit in any of their slushes here. So I moved on to the Crème Brûlée Strawberry Latte. I asked for 25% sugar and they said they can't adjust the sugar levels in this. Okay cool. So I opted for the Lemon Wintermelon Basil Seed drink, 25% sugar. Nope, can't adjust the sugar level for this either. Okay, fine.Passionfruit yogurt drink it is, 25% sugar. Nope, can't adjust? Mango yogurt drink, 25% sugar? Nope. At this point, there's literally one option left for no caffeine - the Lemon Ai-Yu White Pearl. Finally, they let me adjust the sugar on this. I ask for boba with this and they told me the "white Pearls" are boba. Okay cool.Once I get the drink, I took a look at the white pearls and it looks more like jelly than boba. So I ask to purchase a side of boba. The employee insisted that the white Pearl was boba and that I didn't need to get a side of boba. I take their word for it and drive home. That was a big mistake. I should have tried the drink there because the white Pearl is indeed a lot more jelly like, and not boba like at all. It lacks the chewiness of a boba ball. Unfortunately, between the lack of fresh fruit used, the inability to adjust the sugar level on so many drinks and the claim that their white Pearl is boba from the worker there, I definitely won't be coming back to this Gong Cha.

Words can't fully express how good this tastes!! I always get the dirty brown sugar milk tea, nothing else. 100% sweetness and 2 servings of pearls. Best thing ever tbh !

I visited this location when I was waiting for my next Flix bus. This location is a two minute walk from the bus parking lot. The location was extremely clean, and service was top notch. The staff was extremely friendly. I went to the restroom and it was really really clean.I had the strawberry milk slush with pearls and 70% sugar. This was exactly what I needed. And quenched my thirst. The restaurant wasn't busy, even though it was almost 3 PM. There were two other people working on their computers. I'm so glad that I decided to stop in this location.

My go to order for any boba place is the brown sugar milk tea. However, Gong Cha's strawberry milk tea has the perfect mix of milk and strawberry with not one flavor overpowering the other. The strawberry chunks with boba is like the cherry on top when I get to chew and drink. I came late at night so there was no line and my drink was able to be made fast. The whole place was super clean and had outlets for customers. Gong cha and this drink will have to stay in my top 3!

Ordered the most popular drink, dirty brown sugar with milk foam, pearl boba, and 1/2 sugar. It was cool. I've tried many varieties of boba drinks and this doesn't have much of any flavor. Taste like I'm drinking plain whole milk and sugar.One thing to note is their "fruity" drinks don't contain the listed fruit and instead they use flavored syrups. And their yogurt drinks don't contain actual yogurt. It should be listed on their menu because that's deceitful.They have wifi and limited seating. Overall it's a chill place to have a boba drink solo or with friends. I like that it's not freezing cold.

I went on a weekday and checked in with Yelp for a 10% off coupon which was nice! Overall the location is very clean but I will say it didn't have ample seating options. If you go while it's not busy I could see you being able to sit down and enjoy a drink with a friend or get some studying done. I got the strawberry milk tea and it tasted like milk tea with strawberries. It was an interesting flavor combo for me so I likely won't get it again. I do like how they offer two different sizes which is something that's not common with a lot of boba places.

I really enjoy Gong Cha drinks and this was my first visit to the midtown location. Today was National Boba Day so they were giving away boba pins & stickers with your purchase which were super cute!My go to drink is the sparkling lychee with star jelly instead of mango jelly. I also got the strawberry milk slush for my daughter & a strawberry matcha latte with boba & sub with almond milk for my bestie. We all loved our drinks! Very refreshing especially with the rising Houston heat.The employee taking my order was nice and patient while I carefully looked over the menu. The sitting area is small but I was still able to find a seat on a weekday around 2:30 pm & plenty of parking spots.This Gong Cha provides quality drinks like other franchises I've visited and a great location for us in the city.
