Gong Cha

Love a good bubble tea spot. Great location. Self-service kiosks. Seating along the side of the restaurant and a small elevated stage area with games. Came here with a group of friends just to grab some bubble tea later in the night and it was surprisingly busy in addition to all the online pick-up orders coming in. Service still did not take too long. Worth a try if you're in the area.

Gong Cha is the OG and there's a reason they're everywhere! Lots of flavor selections, quick service, and good tasting bubble tea. Ordering with the kiosk can be a bit weird because for some reason you can't change sugar or ice level on some drinks, but if you order at the counter the staff can make those modifications for you.I ordered a classic - dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba. The boba was excellent! Not super chewy, but not hard either. Went down easily and tasted great. The brown sugar milk tea tasted like brown sugar, not much to speak on there.Will be here whenever I'm in Rosslyn and have a hankering for bubble tea.

Sad they got rid of their ginger drink but I enjoy their winter melon drink with no caffeine very much hahaStaff is sweet and their ambiance is cute. Nothing too fancy but nice. I would definitely recommend this place for boba/ drinks compared to kungfu, TeaDM and etc.

This Gong Cha location is up to par with other Gong Chas I've been to and made for a great boba stop in the middle of the weekend. There were many drink options with endless possibilities when it comes to modifications and toppings. The shop was bit small with very limited seating. There was an elevated segment of the shop which is meant for floor seating, where you can play various board games like Jenga.Service was rather quick. Orders are taken through a kiosk and it was pretty straightforward when it came to making any modifications to the sugar/ice level and toppings.I ended up ordering honey green tea with some changes to the ice and sugar levels and found it to be pretty solid.

3.5 stars. Surprise! It's like all the other gong Chas. The staff are efficient and the teas taste the same as all the others. But you know what you're getting into. I really enjoyed the peach lychee drink.

This has to be one of my favorite boba places. Lots of good drink flavors and the boba is always good too.

Love their bubble tea and smoothies! Especially the piña colada, my bf and I go there every other week after dinner hahaha Though the place is quite small, it's no biggie compared to the yummy beverages u get. Highly recommend!

I love coming to this Gong Cha right after eating at Pho 75 for dinner. The contrast of salty pho and sweet boba and the close proximity of both locations keep me coming back for more! This Gong Cha is absolutely amazing minus the fact that they do not have a public bathroom... (I usually go in and out because I all the liquids from the pho broth and large sized boba I drink haha) On the bright side, they have games and little tables you can sit cross cross apple sauce if you come here with friends! This location also serves Momo Mochi donuts and egg waffles!! The aroma fills the space and makes you want to get some. However, I have not fallen yet into the temptation of buying anything except boba. Maybe one day... I have tried Momo mochi donuts elsewhere and they are pretty good depending on the flavor you get! I don't know if it's this location or what, but I always find myself having decision fatigue because it feels like there are SO MANY OPTIONS here compared to other Gong Chas! I've tried several flavors here depending on my mood but there are two that are just absolutely amazing:FRUITY OPTION-Mango Smoothie with White Pearl and Grass JellyI love the texture of the slush, and mango is just so refreshing. The white pearl and the grass jelly give this one a nice texture.MILKY OPTION -Any tea with Milk Cap and three toppings of choice (I prefer tapioca pearls, lychee jelly, and grass jelly, but if I want something a bit sweeter, I'd add custard) This one is like a DIY. I love swirling the cup and watching the gradient of the milk cap swirl into the tea. I usually do 30% sugar and let the toppings and milk cap help the sweetness. This is a great option if you really want to taste the tea and the toppings.The only downside of not only Ging Cha and most other chains nowadays is that with all these toppings and upgrades, the price of one drink (for large options) inch closer to $10 after tip. As much as I'd love to grab one every day like my college days, boba has turned into a once in a while sort of treat. But maybe that's what makes it so special whenever I get it! Looking for a great spot to catch up with friends and play some games? Gong cha is the place!

I was traveling in DC and wanted to find a boba tea spot that could cool me down while I avoided the heat. Found Gong Cha to be nearby thanks to Yelp and I knew Gong Cha was an infamous chain. There aren't any close to where I live but I have heard really great things about them! Decided to give it a try. They had street parking available around 2pm on a Saturday and the street isn't very busy. There is a brunch / beer spot next door. When we got to their door, we thought they were closed since their neon Open sign wasn't on. After trying the door, it seemed like they were indeed open. We went in and started looking at their extensive menu. I have recently converted my date into a boba tea drinker so he was definitely looking at all the cool options. We decided on a mango and a milk tea for drinks and ordered their egg waffle with ice cream to cool us down. This came out to about $20. While we waited, we noticed they had board games and a neat photo op wall. Definitely took advantage of that. It's cute! The drinks came out pretty fast and they were so good.I was actually speaking and the next thing I knew the egg waffle dessert was almost all done because he loved it so much. It was his first time trying it too. Definitely will be back!

No complaints about this location I normally go to the Tysons location. This one was just as great! Deff my fave Bubble tea chain
