Gong Cha (Macleod Trl SW)
The Chinook Centre Gong Cha, a bubble-tea counter inside the mall - milk teas, fruit teas and the mango pearl green tea regulars swear by. What "halal" means here As with the other Gong Cha stores on this map, this is a community-flagged halal-friendly stop rather than a certified kitchen: no meat, drinks made to order, and recognised by the community as somewhere to go after a halal meal - the Shake Shack and Jerusalem Shawarma at Chinook are both on this map. What to expect The mango pearl green tea is the order with a following; James at the counter is named for keeping a long line moving. Avoid the strawberry matcha, says one reviewer in strong terms, and one order went badly when missing pearls were added on top and charged twice. Good to know Mall hours: 10am to 9pm, 6pm on Sunday. Dine in, take out or delivery; step-free entrance. Rated 4.4 from more than 300 Google reviews.
