I don’t care much about bubble tea price because uhm...it’s expensive everywhere but I was expecting good service at least. I was in a rush, ordered super quick, paid for it and forget to mention that I don’t need sugar. So cashier told me that I supposed to tell before paying and now she can’t do anything, the girl was making my tea throw away the cup and looked very mad. I said sorry and took the final cup...she put sugar anyway and I had to throw away. I’m kinda disappointed and not looking forward to come back.
First off they are not temporarily closed theyre open...I should have learned my lesson the first time.....first time I ordered 2 drinks to go and they packed it by the time I got on the train someone pointed out that the bag they packed them in was leaking. So needless to say I didnt get to drink anything. Today I again 2 drinks and again got on the train and the cups were leaking.....so I spenta total of $25.58 for ordering the drinks twice and not once was I able to try them. Never again. They do not seal the film on the cup properly since both times my drink spilt from the top of the cup.
Nice tea and interesting options. Very generous with their toppings, youll always finish your drink and have a lot of pearls left. My only recommendation would be change the shape of your ice because pearls get stuck in the ice and I then spent far too long trying to get them with my straw like a monkey at a zoo. Highly recommended.
My experience was great. There are so many bubble teas and slushies to choose from. And they have food! You know its a good place when they have FOOD and BUBBLE TEA. This will be my go to spot when Im near Columbus Circle. I had a 3 Cheese Grilled Cheese which was amazing and a Panda Bubble Tea. You can tell its gonna be a good place when Panda is in the title. I will be back to try most of the flavors, foods, And those desserts. I just wish you had more locations.We had trouble finding you like other customers. We thought you were above ground, but once we found you we couldnt get enough. Will. Be. Back. Its a must. ♡
Located in the underground subway market, panda Bubble tea might be easily missed. But once you have some, you will easily find your way back! I ordered a large almond milk tea with boba and spend ~$5.08 with their rewards program and the Yelp check-in discount. The almond milk tea was not overly sweet and was on the milkier side. However, for being one of the rare boba shops near Columbus circle, Ill gladly make another trip here for a quick boba run.
Sorry. There tea is just horrible. There is no tea taste in it at all. I mean its tea right? So 🤷🏼♀️…Their fruit tea basically just taste like water with sugar and maybe a little bit sour flavor. And their milk tea is just milk water with sugar.I went there twice. Cuz Id love to give it a second chance. But the second time I went there still disappoint.Service is like whatever. They act like they dont care about their job. They dont care about what they doing. They dont care about whether or not you going to make a purchase there.I never tried their dessert. Maybe its good. I always pass by there whenever I go to downtown. But not gonna go there again.
I dont usually write reviews, but this experience required it. Absolutely disappointing customer service. Waited almost half an hour for a panini. They could clearly see us waiting, but didnt say anything. When asked whats taking so long, one girl said to the other (in Chinese) that they never put the order in, and then said 2 mins more... It was a lot more than 2 mins for it to come out. And even when the panini came out, no apology, no explanation, nothing. Everything was paid for by card already, or else I would have left after the first 10 mins. Panini was OK, but the not worth the long wait, especially for the price. Not expecting to give it another shot.

2022-02-23This is inside the underground market. I always try new boba places. Got my standard jasmine milk tea half sweet with boba. The bobas were on the small side but good. The drinks were made standard with non dairy creamer. It satisfied a craving but nothing super special. The other drink was the Nutella milk tea, it was like a chocolate milk.

2022-07-01This place is underground inside in the Turnstyle. Small boba shop among tons of little eateries. I got a banana milk tea. Pretty tasty! Mainly posting because I got lost trying to find this place and discovered it was under the street. You’re welcome :)

2022-04-17Quite expensive for bubble tea. Taste is 👌, not as good as i expected. The staff was nice. The decoration was cute. I got Matcha milk tea and this is too bitter for Matcha.

2022-06-01Their bubble tea is good for when I’m craving it. However their hours definitely need to be updated. I’ve walked by many times between 11:30-12:30 and it’s either closed or just being opened up. I stopped in once at 12:30 and they said the boba would need 30 more min.

2022-04-01Feel cheated by this tea. Regular milk tea, no bubbles. Charged the same price $6.50 as one with bubbles. And only half full. Was piping hot though.

2022-03-17This is my first time trying milk tea. I thought the green colored milk tea was jasmine green tea, but when I got the milk tea it was white. I asked the staff inside and he told me that what I wanted should be matcha milk tea. When I queued up to buy another cup of matcha milk tea, he already made a free one for me.

2018-11-11It makes me happy to find a Bubble tea place thats inside the train station before going to work. One thing I really like is that they also have food. Another would be that their tapioca is very sweet, soft, and chewy. I would like to see more flavors for the tea and milk teas, but it was pretty good, service aswell.

2019-11-25The tea was ok. Even tho the bubbles were a lot smaller. But the worst prt was the grilled cheese. I paid $6 for unmelted unflavored cheese. I do not recommend grilled cheese from this place. Or bubble tea
