10 rents started the bubble tea craze. Still a solid place with a great selection of teas. Names I can pronounce and stuff I never taste but the ones I like I really like a lot they do them well and they do them quickly. A definite must for bubble tea lovers.
In my opinion they have one of the finest selections of tea. I’m not concerned about the drinkable items. More so tea and tea pot selections
The tea is good but they simply have no idea how to make it into bubble tea. I ask for no ice doesn’t mean cool-down tea does the work. You still need to put ice and shake and pour the ice out bro. The bubble sucks, I’m very disappointed with the carelessness despite the decent 913 king’s tea. It’s a far inferior version of the Taiwanese shops, should get some training in Taiwan.
This is my second time trying out ten ren. I love bubble tea, and I’m very picky when it comes to bubble tea. I was a bit hesitant with the fact they make their bubble teas out of real tea leaves, because it could make it more bitter. I ordered the jasmine green tea, and once I tried it, it tasted really good. You could taste the green tea right away. I was very satisfied with the drink, and so I went another time and tried the black tea. That was great as well, and I would go with the black tea. The chinatown location is more expensive than the brooklyn location however, which makes more sense, but overall, I would definitely go back if I pass by it again.
Decent bubble tea and good green tea. Mango fruit tea was tasty with good pearls, but too sweet for my tastes. Bubble tea shop is next door to the tea shop.
One of the best spot for bubble tea in NYC. Has been long time fan or Ten Ren and they never failed me. Kings Milk Tea is their signature drink, which has very nice tea taste.
Thaw place have great bubble teas. They have a great selections. I come to Ten Ren tea house mostly. Also the have there own personal tea store next door. Good place to find large selection tea.
YUMM this place is so good. My only complaint is that they wont do 75% sugar and 50% isnt enough and 100% is going to make me a diabetic (although heavenly). but WOW definitely put this on your to go list!
Bubble Tea shop and loose leaf tea. 2 shops in one. Clean bright space with friendly staff and good tasting bubble tea. We had three flavors - Vanilla Chai, Taro and Lychee. Of the three the chai was the best. Fresh boba as well.
The staff is not very welcoming. Ordered the standard milk tea (Small $5.50 incl tax). Boba pearls were very chewy. Actual tea was good. Cup lids were elevated from the cup, not the usual sealed plastic, which avoided the stabbing/splash zone problem.
Try every tea here. The babble milk tea always fantastic. Chinese style rock the NYC.
Very friendly chinese tea store. I bought a bag of Ginseng tea. I havent tried it yet but i think it will be great. Some tea was pretty expensive, but i think that is normal.
I LOVE TEN REN.I used to always go their 8ave location back when I lived in Brooklyn, but unfortunately, that location is now closed.. but I know they have this location in the heart of China Town (Canal Street). I live in S.I. now, but I will always make the trip out to here just for their delicious bubble tea & macaroons!! (PISTACHIO FLAVOR IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!)HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Please dont ever close this location. It will break my heart :(
By far the worst bubble tea I have ever tried - and I have tried a lot. The black tea flavour was way too strong&bitter and I had to ask for extra milk. The pearls are way too sweet and the herbal jelly has no flavour.Definitely skip this place - there are plenty of better options around without a minimum card requirement and a drink you will actually consume
Good selection of hot and cold tea based drinks and a few desserts. Our favorites are the Red Bean milk tea slush and the Black Sugar milk tea slush.
My drink was very watery and it also had very little ice. I had the black sugar oolong milk tea in the small size for $6. The locations in California have much better drinks and less overpriced
Small and cozy Cafe styleGood quality and variety of teasThis tea shop has been my favorite for decades. Their tea has better quality than other tea shops. Their bubble toppings arent as good as other tea shops, but I mainly order just the drink with herbal jelly.
If you can disregard the curt attitude by cashier and server, the red bean slush with pearls was good. will be coming again
It is a great tea house. You can get classic tea, milk tea, bubble tea, iced tea, Thai tea, etc. You can select the amount of sugar, ice, and hot/iced. They make their drinks using the real tea and fresh ingredients. I ordered the taro milk tea with red bean. I saw the staff blending the steamed taro and mixing it with the green tea. The red bean is slightly blended. You can still feel the texture. Everyone is friendly at the store. They have some seats here. If you come with a group, you can sit at the back corner which is rare in a Chinatown tea house.
Very yummy green apple boba tea !
Probably the worst bubble tea I’ve had in a long time around the world. Ordered the black tea milk tea and Thai milk tea and both were awful. The Thai milk tea in particular tastes like water even with 50% sugar and they use cooking milk to make it. The tapioca pearls / boba are overwhelmingly sweet and had a crunchy texture. There are a lot of other choices nearby that are both better and cheaper, and I would suggest avoiding this shop.
The drinks are not that good but i felt bad for the staff because he was working by himself
Good place to grab some milk tea in Chinatown! There are lots of options. I came here on a walking/food tour.
They use good quality teas leaves for their bubble tea vs powders. Their staff was really friendly and accommodating. The kids were not use to the stronger flavor of their bubble tea, they gave us some extra milk to help dilute the drink a little. It helped 👍. Also for the amount of people waiting in line they were very quick in turning drinks around.
There are not many quality bubble tea places in the area, so this place is definitely one of the better places. A cup of bubble tea is a little less than $4, which is a bit pricey. But, they have a larger and a cleaner space for you to hang out. Come here to have more authentic bubble tea!
This place is heavenly! A must for bubble tea lovers in NYC! Not only do they offer high quality loose leaf teas and accessories, the bubble tea menu is quite large and offers a range of flavors ranging from more authentic to Americanized.
The service is not good st all. First, the cashier look down upon the one who just bought less than $10, and expressed the hatred. And then the staff who made the milk tea overloaded the tea which spill out of the cup, but he did not even clean it up. We have ordered the milk tea without ice, however, we could see at least 4 pieces of ice in it. Whatever, I still expected the real black tea tease which disappointing me a lot. It was not much difference between powder milk tea and this. I’m not sure how can it survived with all these. If there is a choice for ZERO star, I would love to give one.
They offer an array of flavors to choose from, hot and cold beverages. You can taste the tea in the drinks and its pretty refreshing. They have a small seating area, so its really not meant for large groups, but its a nice little place for 2 or 3 friends to sit and chat. Unfortunately, they dont have a restroom for customers, so you cant drink too much!
I had my very first bubble tea here at Ten Ren Tea Time. Sadly, the quality just isnt the same as before. The tea selection is meh. Still, they have a few signature and unique tea drinks like the Eastern Beauty tea, or the ginseng tea. These two are my favorite and cannot get from anywhere else. I guess its something you can only get from an authentic tea place that imports tea leafs. I cant said much about their food (yes they do have them) since I havent ordered any there.
Fantastic bubble tea--the tapioca balls are super fresh and soft. You can choose the sweetness level, which is nice if you dont like overly sweet drinks. The only bummer is its cash only.
This place honestly has the best tea you will find in either Chinatown or Flushing. What is great about this bubble tea shop in general is their commitment to bubble tea. Their tea is not made with powder or pure sugar, but with real tea herbs and juice from fruits. It tastes natural and great.
Came here to get tea as a gift for my mother in law. The woman basically told me I couldn’t afford any of their teas and then when I asked for a recommendation she brushed my question aside and then said “Well we close in 15 minutes.” Definitely not coming back here.
This is the worst tea in China Town. All their drinks are pre-made and over priced. I paid $6 dollars for watered down black tea with milk and grass jelly. There was no flavor and it was a rip-off.
Went in looking for good quality loose leaf tea. Well we found some. But it was poorly labeled, we couldnt try any before we bought and the worst part was the woman who helped us was extremely, and I mean off-puttingly rude. It was as if we had walked in to her personal house uninvited. We walked in excited to spend possibly a couple hundred dollars on tea and left with just a little bag because of this horrible sales woman. Cant speak about their bubble tea place next door. Certainly will not be going back any time soon.
Great bubble tea made with real tea. Everything has a clean and refreshing taste to it. There is some seating in the back but it can get very crowded quickly. They also have a loyalty card which attracts a lot of people.
Lychee slush was like heaven!! Mango slush was great too. Black tea boba was altight. Kids gave the fried shrimp dumplings good reviews and they came with broccoli which was a nice added touch. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. Fairly priced and worth every penny.
I used to go to ten ren a lot when it was the only good option in Chinatown. Flavors are still good, prices are in line with places like yifang, the cup is terrible (flimsy paper cup with detachable lid - cant see the bubbles, cup gets squeezed easily). Has some seating, which is a big plus for bubble tea places. Credit card for purchases $10+
I order medium matcha slush. The taste is too light. I can taste just a bit of green tea. I think they put too much ice when they make it. That why i cant taste any milk or sweet at all. They use spoon to take the drink from blender to a cup. That mean it s too thick by ice. And after they put a drink in to a cup. It still has a lot of drink in the blender. Im not sure the the employee taste that drink or not that is not tasty at all. It will be much better if the take off half of ice before they blend it. Bubble is ok.
Very awesome service! Meeting a kind and smiley cashier is a rare situation in NYC! Boba quality is top notch and the shop is very spacious. The only reason why they get 4 starts is their milk tea. It is very watery and not creamy.
Excellent bubble tea. Some of the best in the city, in fact. Wound up here accidentally while waiting to meet friends at Bassanova Ramen. Had the cold Thai milk tea and will definitely be back to try others on their menu, as there were many options to try! Appreciated the ample supply of outlets to charge my phone while I waited.
Their plum flavor is infamous. Try it out if they still even offer it; it is the worst. Imagine dirty laundry water. It didnt taste anything remotely like plum, let alone an edible fruit. Otherwise, their strawberry has chunks of real strawberry and most of the other options are great.
The tea is OK, kind of average. The staff is not interested at all in good customer service. I ordered, didnt hear anyone call my number, and was left standing like an idiot, waiting. I asked one employee, and she ignored me. Finally after leaving me standing for five minutes, someone realized there was an unclaimed tea. No apology.
This place is new and renovated, allowing you to enjoy your bubble tea in some really cool lounge chairs. A tea cafe that plays top forty music on a loop. Revamped to be hip and popular among teens, adults, locals and tourists alike. The quality of the tea is good, the tapioca pearls are also pretty good and the seating makes for an inviting place to chat.
Stop here for the black tea with tapioca EVERY ti me I visit NYC! Been comin here for 10+ years
Love the oolong teas here--always perfectly steeped. A bit on the expensive side though, something like $4.50 for a hot tea? Good thing jury duty only comes around once every 8 years!
Good place for bubble tea but the prices arent the cheapest for a classic drink.
Best bubble tea because the quality of the tea is so high. When you enter Ten Ren, the scent is tea, not artificial flavors. I always ask for 25% sugar - its more than enough sweet.
Bubble tea is good. The shop is clean.
An excellent assortment of teas that you might have tasted at Ten Rens Tea Time just down the block. They also carry some lovely sets of tea cups and pots. However, this is not where you buy their drinks, this is where you buy tea making supplies, just to dispel any confusion.
I got the taro milk tea and was pretty disappointed. Maybe Taro is supposed to be one of their less popular flavors, but regardless, it had way too much sugar and the texture was off? The tea was almost grainy. The actual tapioca was very average
Try the taro or coconut bubble milk tea! This place has the best bubble tea at reasonable prices. Its not too sweet and the tea is smooth, not chalky like some other places. Staff are nice and efficient.
The service was fast and the menu has such a variety. The noodle soup I ordered was splendid with beef that had an amazing taste. The noodles were thin, just the way I liked it. The broth is also to die for.
Highly recommend this bubble tea place. Great variety and friendly staff. Non-dairy options are available. They use Silk soy last time I was there. Its the best bubble tea in the city.
Fantastic bubbles with milk tea, Thai tea or whatever suits your fancy. The salt/pepper fried chicken nuggets are really good, got the authentic Taiwanese flavors. You can’t go wrong with Ten REN.
Who knew the staple Ten Ren tea would have bubble tea store! It was definitely an upgrade to normal bbtea stores because of their brewed tea, on the pricier side but you get quality for it. Note: always get 50% less sugar or lower. I prefer mine 25%.
I love Ten Ren’s tea but the service was terrible. The guy who was working here on Monday afternoon was extremely rude to me and did not allow me to use the bathroom (he physically blocked me from entering the bathroom and refused to let me in - I told him I would buy something after I used the bathroom but he didn’t believe me). I’ve bought many teas from Ten Ren both in Taiwan and in NYC, but this experience was really bad and honestly an unfortunate to know Ten Ren treats their customers like this.
A cup of milk tea (or normal tea drink) emphasizes the quality of the tea, but the selection is not as good as Hong Kong. My favorite Ten Ren milk tea in Hong Kong is the 913 bubble milk tea (I highly recommend it to anyone visiting HK), but this location only offers it hot without bubbles or milk. More expensive than your average cup of bubble tea.
I was thrilled to discover that TeaRen, my favorite tea shop for over 20 years, now has a place to get drinks and snacks. I ordered an iced chocolate mint boba tea and it was perfect, but I also could have ordered my beloved jasmine green with boba, which is the tea I have been buying from them to make at home for 20 years.I made made a video of my experience and if it is not already on my YouTube channel, it will be soon.
The service is prompt, but the drink quality varies. Staffed by late high school or college students.Its modern and clean. While the seating is limited there is one large share table for a group few two seat-ers in the back and front.I only go to Ten-Ren for actual REAL tea bubble tea, thankfully they dont offer that powder tea mix like most bubble tea shops. With that said - aside from the teas, all the other flavors are powder (i.e. Taro) or fruit sugar syrups.They also sell snack items prepackaged and made to order small bites. Tea accessories and teabags are also sold here. (FYI, the full fledge Ten Ren tea store is literally right next store.)
Best bubble (tapioca pearls) tea house ever! Come on in for a drink. If you like tea, then you will like Ten Rens Tea. Sweet tea in a whole new way! Watch as you are served with one of the finest tea ever, since they use real tea leaves to make most of their drinks. Cant get enough, Ten Rens tea shop is just right next door, so if you like what you drink, you might want to consider buying a bag of tea leaves to make your own tea, sweet or unsweetened. For those who dont know, tea is good for you...tea is life! Lifes good with tea!
Ten Ren never disappoint even in NYC!I stumbled upon this tea house after eating at Joes Shanghai.The honey green tea with boba was perfect to cool down on a rather warm day in New York City.The boba tasted fresh and had a nice chewy texture just how I like.The shop is clean and neat. There are a few tables in the back but no restroom.
Their crispy chicken is really nice (not that authentic but has it only touch) and their bubble tea could have been more creamy so it doesnt taste that watery. Good place to chill though!
Great place to come to sit and sip tea. In addition to the regular hot tea, green tea, plum tea, there is also bubble tea. I like the bubble tea. All of the drinks are very refreshing and reasonably priced. Service is excellent. Very helpful staff.
Great bubble tea. Solid favorite for years.
Pretty good tea! the tea flavor is definitely very strong. fresh tasting. not desert-like like gong cha in my opinion. good but just different.
This place is a five minute walk from me, and I used to come here religiously. However, all of my favorite workers left and the quality of the tea has gone down so I dont come here very often. The drinks are very diluted, so I would not pay $5 for something so similar to water.
The gold standard in bubble tea, only CoCo, Quicklys, and Kung-Du Tea compares but fall short. If anything, they are always reliable and always busy. They have reasonable amount of seating but often occupied due to being constantly busy. There isnt a bad choice on the menu, and the tapioca is remarkably consistent all the time.
Laughed at me when I asked about a product that they used to have. Their drinks were great 2 years ago, but I cant tell you how they are now. I was pretty upset since this is the place I was looking forward to visiting most in Chinatown.
The manager was very friendly, he let me tried 2 different kinds of tea before making any purchase. We finally found one that we love, which is a expensive Oolong. Overall very satisfied.
Lychee slush(L) with Jasmine Green Tea cold (L) with tapioca : $12.50Tasted just alright. They ran out of fresh mango slush which what id prefer.A lot of ppl seemed to order matcha slush. It looked pretty good.Place is clean. CASH ONLY!
One of my favorite bubble tea shops on Mott Street. Always clean, is always bustling, but the line moves. My favorites are the honey dew slush, followed by the Mango slush.
The almond milk tea is amazing, not too sweet like other places. The bubbles are also a good consistency, not too soft and not too chewy.
Always come here for my tea needs. Staff is very helpful and friendly, and they have a great variety of different teas at different price ranges, and also tea related paraphernalia, like teapots, cups etc.
Bubble tea quality doesnt get any better in this city than at Ten Ren. Excellent tea and Ive tried most of the other places. Tea by the pound you cant get much better quality either. Ten Ren is a must stop at when in Chinatown!
I had really great experience here , I just stop by to buy a cup of tee and the server there Sunny halo me to find one specially for me ) the service is great and the tee was amazing
Ive been buying Kings tea from here over 16 years, it is still the best.As for the sticker on these expensive little cups, should be replace with a string tag or none at all. as for the service, so much should be put into attention.
Worst bubble tea ever. STAY AWAY!!!!!! I am so grossed out. Disgusting.
I tried the passion fruit tea (hot), which is definitely better than starbucks passionfruit tea. We also had the mango tea (hot), which was ok.
If you ask me to choose between coffee or tea, it would tea hands down. I especially love black tea and tea with a strong taste. Ten Ren is one my favorite for tea and high grade bubble tea.
This is the OG bubble tea shop for me. At the dawn of the century, I come and grab a green apple slush tea and then spend the rest of my afternoon playing Street Fighter at Chinatown Fair.Sadly, it is no longer 2000 and maybe its them, maybe its me.. but its not the same. Nothing tastes quite right. I definitely have moved on from green apple slushes but I dont know, its just sort of meh. They did something to the bubbles -- I either get an over or undercooked batch whenever I go. But I keep going. Nostalgia is a funny thing.Stick with a Milk Tea.
High hope and got disappointed. I have had much better Ten Ren than what this location had provided. Always a lover for Ten Ren but wont be coming back to this one particularly... or maybe not when its crowded... cashier was not the most pleasant to interact with. Ill come back to try one more time maybe
Went there with 4 kids today. All had a hard time to decide what to drink. Staff was super patient and made sure we all liked our drinks. Had been there before but this time was really impressed by the quality of all the drinks ordered and the service.
Really bad. No tasting, bad selection, over priced. Others in the ten ren chain much better (SF stores are amazing). Go to Harney and Sons in Soho or Suns organic if you must buy in Chinatown.
Decent sit down, I think last time they blasted music, which was annoying. Pricey, and I wouldnt get tea leaves here since its bound to be overprices. My Russian friend said they tried to rip him off here thinking he doesnt know anything about tea.
Good tea nice staff and good prices. I frequently buy tea from this venue. The manager Kay is arrogant. And refuses bathroom privileges for loyal customers. She should be dismissed.
Ten rens tea is always my fav milk tea spot! I have been travelling to beijing, taiwan, toronto and new york, and ten rens tea never fails to fascinate me! highly recommend its 913 milk tea aka kings milk tea.
Looking for authentic Taiwanese tea and ginseng? Check this place out! They have high quality tea like Oolong, Green Tea, Black Tea, Black Tea, etc. The owners are also really friendly!
The place look nice, but the customer service not that good. I was looking for Jasmine tea. They show me only one brand refusing to show me other options. I was literally forced to buy the one they show me.
Before there was Cha Time, Kung Fu Tea, and all those other trendy bubble tea shops, there was Ten Ren. I still believe Ten Ren makes the best bubble tea. They have a specialty tea shop! Celebrities like Lisa Ling and Tyrese have been here and Ten Ren makes the best slushes!
Not good as Taiwan and Hong Kong branch.
Thai tea was made with real thai tea leaves! It’s usually hard to find tea place that don’t use powder, so I was impressed.
Dishonest sales representative!!!!! I ordered a 1.5 lb of loose tealeaf, and was charged the price for that amount. The sales woman sealed the bag while I was not looking. I only realized the bag was merely over 1 pound (1.08 lb with package on) when I re-weighted the package at home.Never going back again.
Famous tea provider from Taiwan, also famous in Kobe, Japan.
The employees were absolutely amazing, Very clean place and my girlfriend had a little problem with her drink not being sweet enough and one of the employees made her a new one without a problem and was very kind about it! I believe his name was Eric, thank you very much!
BEST BOBA IN TOWN, they dont speak a lot of english but you wont be disappointed with whatever you end up ordering. They really know what they are doing.My go to is Black Tea BOBA.
Tasty teas. You can regular the amt of sugar and ice you want. Taro Bubble tea is my fav. Jasmine is smooth toi
Great service. Good atmosphere. Delicious green tea!
Bubble tea also called tapioca is so delicious. You have to try before you deny. Its like eating little gummies in the juice of your choosing.
My wife swears that this is the best bubble tea that shes ever had. She loves coming here and we will make a trip just to get Ten Ren bubble tea.
The most authentic Chinese tea you can buy in the United States. A diamond in the rough with an unbeatable Pu-Ehr.
Nice quality teas and drinks. Mostly friendly staff with bathroom access for customers only. Woman with Botox face not too friendly.
Great little tea shop in Chinatown, good prices and good range of teas. The iced ginger milk tea was very good.
Tried the samples at the entrance of the store. Decided to buy the same tea and ended up getting a deluded, tasteless tea. Very disappointed.
My wife introduced me to this place and we try to stop as often as possible. Best bubble tea spot. Locations in Chinatown, Flushing and otherwise.
Since the company specialize in selling quality loose teas, their boba tea counter is one of the better ones.
Taro black tea was not thoroughly mixed. We drank a few sips of powder then took it back. At least they gave us our money back. Why teariffic only has a 16 is beyond me; it owns.
The best milk tea! Great selection of loose teas. Always find something excellent here!
Great shop for good bubble tea.
Rudest customer service I have ever experienced. If someone says hello to you have the courtesy to say hello back. Just an arrogant woman serving who should not have a job. In the end I just walked out. DO NOT GO HERE !!!
A little pricier than your standard bubble tea shop, but thanks to this actually being a place where tea leaves are sold, the tea based drinks are quite good.
Upscale tea shop with good selection of Chinese tea. Slightly overpriced - after all its located in the very turisty part of Chinatown.
Absolutely scrumptious, especially loved the pamplemousse refresher with pearls and lychee jelly. Would like to experiment with aloe jelly next time.
Amazing Red Bean bubble tea, clean and fast service , wish the staff was a little bit more friendly and helpful it was our first visit.
Probably the best bubble tea in NYC, this is the original Taiwan chain. Try the taro milk tea with boba.
Went there for vacation and i love tea so i cheeked out this place...LOVED IT! amazing teas with unique flavors.
The bubble tea was amazing and the fact that I can control the sugar content made it perfect.
Growing up in a country where various bushes are used for health reasons I find this establishment services such a variety of teas that can be used for medicinal purposes
Still the best bubble tea after 10+ years for me. And the new place (next to old one) is much roomier.
King milk tea is good. This place is bright and clean. A good place in China town to have a rest.
Very good tea!
One of the OG bubble tea shops and still one of the best: bubbles that are perfectly dense and chewy all the way through.
The tea is reasonably priced and there is a good variety of types and grades of teas.
Bubble tea is good, but price is higher than other cafes.
Best quality bubble tea but at a higher price then othet bubble tea joints!
Very !disappointing as we always used to :go here.The taro bubble tea was like water. Seems they dont care for service anymore .👎👎
Nice bubble oolong milk tea.
These guys use actual evaporated milk, none of that creamer powder. High quality at the same price of the other guys
One of my fav bubble tea spots that actually serve herbal jelly!
This is a Famous Tea Brand from Taiwan !! They have their own Nice Bubble Tea Store Next Door !!
Liked it!
Good blends but kinda expensive. Good service with a smile.
Amazing arrangement of tea with convenient locations.
Tasty teas and fast service
Very nice bubble tea shop. A bit pricier than other shops but its worth it.
Super friendly staff and great bubble tea! Highly recommended!
Bubble tea was good, but there are plenty of cheaper places in the area
I try to come every time Im in a Chinatown. My favorite tea house. Oh man, that bubba!
Great location, slightly more expensive than Brooklyn variants, but quality is on point!
Amazing bubble tea place. I can taste the tea in my drink.
My drink was a bit too sweet. Make sure to ask for no sugar.
I enjoyed the c house so much, that my family and I went back several times
Loved their lavender tea and cookies. Also very clean
Put it like this its the only other place I get bubble tea there. If you dont got chocolate, I dont go to you.
The bubble tea and other drinks they have are pretty good
Still a favorite of mine but I feel some of the quality is going away over time
Great shop with a strong selection of loose leaf tea.
Decent taro bubble tea.
Best real tea drinks
Decor a bit poor, but nice selection of cold and warm drinks!
Lots of choices and combinations. I enjoy the passion fruit flavor.
They gave me wrong drink, the taste was totally different from the original
Good bubble tea. Cool hang out
Good bubble tea - they had soy milk!
Best taro bubble tea/slush!
Best jasmine milk tea Ive had.
The service was so bad and I ordered a slush but he didn’t blend it probably
Cute little seating place with great teas!
Tea tastes like hot water, service is worse.
One of the best bubble tea in Manhattan.
Very busy place but drinks are reasonably fast.
Great selection of tea bags and loose tea.
Best place to get green tea by the ounce.
We come here every chance we get! Love the jasmine green tea.
Great place for classic milk tea
Tea is too strong and taste badThrow away
Really good tea and friendly staff.
Nice bubble tea selection
Bubble tea made with real tea instead if powdered tea
Plum and kings tea tried - perfect tapioca.
Best chinese tea selection in Chinatown
Great place to relax and have a good cup of tea.
Okinawa green milk tea is awsome !!!
My favorite place to get bubble tea.
The tea is good and service was friendly
Love their passion fruit + jelly & bubbles
Their bubble black tea is good.
Nice place to quench your thirst and rest while you are in Chinatown
Wonderful, knowledgeable people. Great tea.
Drinks were pricey and tasted watered down
Great selection of tea and medicinal items
Quick, and the bubble tea is always perfect!
Drinks are great, just not the price.
Not impressed, maybe I ordered the wrong thing 😏
Authentic Taiwanese bubble tea here.
Quick service and attentive staff.
Its good but always frustrating that its cash only :(
Dont go there, very bad service and the staff is very rude.
Great bubble tea selection
Great teas in China town

2022-07-07I used to buy so many cases of their Jasmine Tea and my customers love the jasmine aroma so much. However, I bought 3 cases from their Flushing store, no jasmine aroma coming out of the tea anymore so I called the store and the lady on the phone literally just told me:”If you don’t like it, don’t buy it from us, I have another customer to take care of.”” What a customer service after I went there for almost five years for the same tea for my restaurant. Very disappointing.

2021-10-24I used to love TenRen from many different places.The TenRen here is a big disappointment.I ordered1. Taro Milk Tea2. King’s Milk Tea3. Matcha Milk TeaAll 3 glasses are VERY watery. No taste of the tea, taro or Matcha at all. Never had such a big disappointment from TenRen before. Beware!

2022-05-28First time and glad I got a chance to try it. It was refreshing and the store had a lot of selections.
Review №4
2022-03-30The tea selection here is pretty incredible! So many great selections. So many medicinal teas. I bought some pu-ehr. But this may be a cultural thing but the customer service here is awful. I realize that because of Covid you don’t allow people to smell your teas but no one, including some workers were not wearing masks. So I asked to smell my tea. I only wanted some put on my hands, crush it and smell that it was the real thing. I think that is reasonable to ask. But the lady taking care of us was so rude. Maybe a cultural thing but I didn’t like it.

2021-10-11The drink was ok, while I ordered a boba I thought that it was going to be the plastic cup, you know for the photo hahaha but I would like to give props to the cashier guy that was in a very great mood and happy :)

2022-06-16If you want to know the most authentic tea’s, this is the only place in NYC that can give you the experience. I’m not referring to the bubble tea store. I’m talking about the tea shop right next door - Ten Ren Tea House.

2021-04-04This is one of my favorite bubble tea places in Taiwan because of the variety of teas they have. I got the kings milk tea with less sugar and less ice no boba. The drink came out room temperature with no ice in it at all, sugar level tasted like 30% instead of 70%, the tea and milk ratio was bad (too much tea not enough milk) tasted very watery. I had to add 2 more packs of sugar in it myself to make it taste somewhat better. Overall pretty disappointed, its pretty bad compare to the same drink I had in Taiwan.

2018-04-07Great bubble tea store, really enjoyed my mango bubble tea. The store looks really pretty, great interior, very neat and clean. Prices are reasonable and the service was fast. They have a lot of other products like tea leaves and macaron.

2018-06-09Best bubble tea in chinatown! you can tell they use quality ingredients because the second you walk inside you can smell tea leaves— and the taste of their drinks proves it. you can also adjust sugar level, ice level, and add in other ingredients like grass jelly. don’t forget to pick up a punch card when you go because you’ll definitely want to come back!
