NYC's NEWEST Bubble Tea Spot | Chicha San Chen

This newest bubble tea spot in NYC's Chinatown is all the rage since opening up in May 2024. I went to see if the hype was real or not.

The ActionKid has been looking forward to bubble 🫧 tea 🍵. 🐼

[@ActionKidExtra]

[@1jackvalley580]

I love Boba but It's a costly fad. I don't believe it's any better because the tea came from Taiwan, they try and convince us 🥴with the Marketing WORDS that are good sellers🥱

[@minsiuh8960]

Costly fad? its been going strong for over 10 years here in nyc and new ones keep opening up all the time. So not really a fad. guess you are just bitter cause you live in mid of nowhere

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

@@minsiuh8960 it opened in may not for 10 years lol

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

@@minsiuh8960 how can you assume where this person lives based on their opinion

[@savedbygrace.slowedreverb]

AK, off topic but I think you shld try out some new glasses! I think a round shape wld look rly good on u.

[@jarihult]

4:14 cute cup🙂Delicious looking quite expensive Bubble Tea though🤔😋Thank you for sharing this review A K🙂👍!!!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Agreed! It is cute! :)❤

[@rionno7294]

Same to me!😂😄

[@ActionKidExtra]

My pleasure 😊

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

hahaha 9 bucks

[@EphemeralProductions]

It’s NY. what do you expect? lol

[@1jackvalley580]

​@@EphemeralProductionsI honestly would expect NY to be smarter than throw money 🤑 in the garbage

[@irisnunez5741]

@@1jackvalley580 If he is enjoying it

[@minsiuh8960]

@@1jackvalley580 you are just jealous you dont live in nyc

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

@@EphemeralProductions like the price of any other bubble tea in the area

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

I’m sorry kid what’s the attraction? I guess it’s the tea spot of coffee like Starbucks okay. Certainly is huge!lol Thanks

[@aprilrains973]

You could get a nice meal in Taiwan for less than the cost of that tea. At least you enjoyed it in spite of the price.

[@richardscott5155]

Welcome back to NYC

[@ActionKidExtra]

Thanks!

[@stylishbunny6854]

Looks yummy but yeah $9 is bit much. Hope they have deals to lower the price.😊

[@lennyvelez5929]

I wonder how many people working in that place were trafficked thru the southern border and now forced labor

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

would you say it is better than xing fu tang?

[@HengMiao]

Oh, you tried Chi Cha San Chen! They have a location in San Gabriel, CA, and they usually have a line of people waiting for their online orders. I tried their Lemon Condensed Milk sans boba, and it was decent. I'm sure the high pricing is due to the NYC location, but the drink and presentation look good. 🧋 Thank you for sharing, AK! 🤗

[@bernardfriedman532]

I would love to try something like this 😍I should google if there is a bubble tea place near me because I can't find it anywhere 😂

[@HengMiao]

@bernardfriedman532 You should try at least once! Try Googling "boba" also, because that's another term for "bubble". 🧋

[@TheStarsShineForYou]

I've tried Xing Fu Tang in San Gabe and it was like 10 bucks for a small bubble tea.. LA shouldnt be that different from NY (Originally wrote Tiger Sugar by mistake, which I've only tried in Bangkok)

[@HengMiao]

@@TheStarsShineForYou I went to the Xing Fu Tang in Alhambra back in Feb 2024, and got a regular size Matcha Strawberry Boba Milk for a total of $7.71. It's still costly either way, but their drinks are good.

[@TheStarsShineForYou]

@@HengMiao Mine was literally like 9.75 or something a couple years ago

[@stevegiblin270]

A lot of money for that bubble tea! Do they give senior discount’s ?😂😊

[@ElizabethDiaz-n2b]

Wow! Thank you for video sharing and back in NYC and Very happy see you again and great enjoy bubble tea🧋💖🗽🥰🤩😃😎👍

You’re welcome

It seems you are happy to be back in NYC 😊 Nice place, modern. How is the bubble tea, tasty, yummy, great 😀👍

[@ActionKidExtra]

So good!

[@cak813]

Now I’ve heard everything, Ken… a Michelin-rated bubble tea establishment. I’ve never had bubble tea. I’m glad you liked it - especially for that price!!

[@ActionKidExtra]

It's so good!

[@sunflower_shorts]

[@ss_sailaway]

Thanks for the review AK. Is nine dollars typical for a drink in NYC though?

[@KimchiandRicewater]

Tms

[@surfboard396]

Hi AK. It’s a nice establishment. I like the way the place is set up. I guess you have to weigh the options. Taste, price, presentation and location. The packaging was really well done. Well it was good though. Thanks Ken.👋🏽

[@naturesrecovery4516]

OK! lol 5:21 at first it didn't look like you liked it haha

[@ActionKidExtra]

[@CharleyS10223]

Nice Actionkid. Try raising cane in flushing once they opened on 7/9/24. I love boba from Kung Fu Tea

[@ahchongseen8511]

Look like you're in Hongkong or China,not NYC🤣🤣🤣

[@deborahroberts1854]

Even though something is really good, the price can put you off of it. Especially when you were paying such great prices in Taiwan.

[@minsiuh8960]

he aint in taiwan anymore cant compare to nyc prices

[@rionno7294]

Yo A K, that bubble tea cup looks glorious right now!🤩😍 Thanks for sharing that!🤗😊
