PARTEA NYC - Union Square

Awesome bubble tea experience. First of all, the bubble tea was excellent (I got Mango Sago with Pomelo Yogurt). Second of all, the whole feeling of the place is great. It is upbeat, playful, and filled with games. I got a mystery box filled with a cool surprise! And, I tried my luck at the claw machine and won a cool toy! It can get expensive quick, but a real fun time. And tasty!

We had a great time here. We spent way too much money on crane games but the kids did enjoy it. It’s $2 per play and can take several times to get a small plush sometimes. The food was really great though and we didn’t expect it to be so good. The Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken was some of the best we’ve ever had and we’ve had a lot and the teas were amazing as well. We came here for the crane games and didn’t expect the food and drinks to be so good!

Ordered the Partea fruit tea and it was so refreshing and not too sweet. It’s the perfect pairing to drink boba while playing some of the cool claw machines. It’s also super big inside so was a nice place to chill. Will definitely come back and try some of their other drinks and food!

I didn’t try the boba, but I did check out the claw machine section of the store. The tokens are reasonably priced, and the staff are knowledgeable about the games, offering helpful tips on where to grab the prizes. We spent around $20 and walked away with 3 prizes, with each play costing about $2. The prize selection is impressive, with options ranging from small prizes and gashapons to larger items, featuring a variety of brands like Pokémon, Sanrio, and more. This clawcade relies on skill-based luck rather than the payout system you’d find at bigger chains. However, I had to knock off 2 stars because the prizes are clearly fake. For instance, I won a MyMelody Sanrio plush, but it says "MgMelody" on it. While the prizes are still decent, I expected better quality control. Some of them also have the suction cup hook (another characteristic of fake products) but I recently came back and saw a lot more prizes that didn't.

Every time I've come here, I have had a great time, and the food they serve were delicious as well. I highly recommend getting the Soy Garlic Chicken Thigh Sandwich, Popcorn Chicken, and Honey Butter Fries, and all drinks come hot or cold, I recommend the Whipped Creme Brulee Oolong Milk Tea. Staff are super friendly and will assist you with any problems like readjusting any plushies in the claw machines. They gave me tips and tricks on how to win the claw games, and I won the Mew on my first try! The small machines are definitely easier to win, but the others aren't impossible♡ 1 token = $1, each claw game cost 2 tokens. I believe it's fairly priced, 10/10 would keep coming back. Fun date idea and kids' activity as well! The store is clean, well kept, and the customer bathroom is also clean, which is great.

This place is very aesthetic but that's about it. It's not a restaurant at all. They DO sell food but there's nowhere to sit and eat it. The food is fine. Not special at all but not bad. Prices are decent for the food. Prices for everything else, outrageous. Gachapon are $6-$8 each. My biggest complaint is about the lack of dining space. If I'm going to an arcade restaurant, I want to be able to eat there and then enjoy the arcade. This place does not offer that set up so you either have to leave to eat in a park nearby and come back or don't eat here at all.

The staff is very friendly and the food was really good. The portion sizes were bigger than expected. The place itself was smaller than expected but still had a great time.

Spent way too much money trying to get stuffed fries from the claw machine. 5/5 would waste money here again. Staff are super nice and help with repositioning toys if you ask. They also offer tips on how to grab them. Food is excellent as usual, especially their fried snacks. Fried chicken is juicy and seasoned well. Drinks in my opinion aren't as good as the flushing location but I'm willing to try some more.
