My review was formally 5 stars because everything was really yummy and the tea was good but is now changed to 3 stars because of my last visit. The last time is was at money king tea i had a fairly large order about 10 drinks, each one was highly disappointing. Every single one of the teas were incredibly watery, it was like they had run out of tea and poured more water and milk in to make up the difference. I was so sad, I had been raving about this tea place to my friends and family and brought them there to treated everyone to drinks and every one hated them because they had no flavor. I was incredibly embarrassed. Maybe it was an off day but they need to do some quality control ! I am definitely willing to try it again but i dont think id ever bring a large party for drink, it dont think they are able to handle multiple drink orders.

been here only once but i would definitely come again if i was in the area and looking for a treat. i got the mango shake and matcha ice cream puff thing. forgot what its called. mango smoothie wasnt that good. i guess i shouldve gotten the mango smoothie instead. (yes. there is a difference.) the ice cream with the egg puff was great. im comparing it to Ice Age from chinatown. i like this one way much better. im quite cheap and i say this one is a better deal to get dessert. its a great portion. they give you a good deal of toppings. they didnt skimp on it. the egg puff didnt soggy as well. the egg puff has this vanilla flavor taste. this place accepts credit card, has some seating, and a small window view.

They always make my boba fresh and delicious! This bubble tea place in located inside a chinese take out place, but they are so much better than Kung Fu Tea in Malden Center. Their tea is perfectly sweet and the boba is soft and chewy. Also lines are short and they just make their bubble tea much more quickly than Kun Fu Tea. I would recommend the regular boba though. I tried the mini boba and was not as impressed. Also it is a huge plus that they have thai iced tea! They also have frequent buyer cards which is always nice.

The high rating is for the excellent quality of the tea and snacks. The bubble tea is the best around . The only drawback is that the hours are limited to mostly after school when it is packed with kids and there is a very long wait for everything. The waffles are great in the waffle ice creams are delicious. The deep fried chicken with garlic aioli is really good. My favorite tea is the coconut milk tea with boba. I will go back even though I know I will have to wait too long and feel a little frustrated

Monkey King Tea is pretty decent, but their variety is really lacking. They do not have a fruit tea drinks it seems like, other than the infused teas. I tried the monkey milk tea with boba and it was good, but not great...the boba was perfect though. They have a pretty good selection of snacks, including their waffle puff ice cream which is popular. Havent had a chance to try, but will update when I try it.

I came here for the ice cream egg puff and it was very good. The place was hard to find because it didnt have a noticeable store sign. We accidentally drove pass the place and had to loop around. I order the matcha and red bean ice cream and they were delicious. The only downfall was the eggpuff. It gets a little soggy when the ice cream started to melt.

This place is awesome. The puffle cones are top notch. The ice cream flavors and sundae is are great. The Mera Mera fries are inspired. The Crab Rangoon is tasty. The boba is diverse, the teas are good, and the combinations are practically endless. Very good stuff.

Small hole in the wall with great dessert options! Keep in mind the egg puffs take some time to cook - they are delicious and crispy! Had the "I love you so matcha" - overall great, just not a huge fan of the green tea ice cream used there.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with with a heavenly scent of the egg puffs.. Its a pretty chill place with good prices. They have games and things to make youre time there go smooth.. If you go I recommend the ice cream.

Best place to get puffle cones! The endless board and card games are always a must when I go there but the space is relatively small for the amount of customers they typically get. The fries here are very crunchy as well

Refreshing mango bubble tea and the employees are very friendly if you have any questions. The interior is mediocre - little questionable and the bacon and cheese tots were missing flavor. They just tasted like oil.

The ice cream is unique because of the egg pancake, but the ice cream was very mediocre. The place was very busy, but you rarely see Asian people, which means this is not a place for bubble tea.

Great tasting almond bubble tea and generous with the bubbles too. Egg puffs are a great compliment to the drink. Yummy! Nice ambiance inside, not to big of a place but just right

Great place to just have a dessert and chill. The desserts are pretty unique, and there are even board and cards games for you to play. The prices are pretty standard.

When I went here, they were out of a lot of the items on the menu. The tea I did end up getting was pretty good though. The staff was friendly.
