I'm first-generation Taiwanese American and grew up in the SGV with many family trips back to Taiwan, and Tea Station is definitely my favorite boba chain. Their snacks are about as authentic as you can hope for in the States - popcorn chicken and the fried sesame balls always hit the spot for a quick snack. The bento offerings are pretty good as well, offering a variety of side dishes to go along with the entree of your choice. My personal go-to drink is the almond milk tea. Customization for ice and sugar levels available of course.

I was excited to get tea at Tea Station, but was disappointed. Their tea was too milky. I didn't taste the tea. The grass jelly was the thin type. Not the thicker dark grass jelly. The service was great. My co worker also tasted the difference.

Had the strawberry green tea with boba and was not impressed with the drink. I could barely taste any tea. It was syrupy. The boba texture was not soft…

New location is a lot smaller but same great teas and boba I miss the old location it was really a fantastic place still has a lot of students studying and the small dishes are good . It's a good Boba place so go and check it out.

Been a regular at this location, always love their strong and bold tea flavor. A bit disappointed today as I usually get green tea and milk tea, both taste pretty bland and especially the green tea taste like water+ sugar, missing the strong tea flavor completely! Maybe tea has not been brewing for enough time, I was really looking for my jasmine tea today. customer service was nice and well assisted tho asked for another drink. Hopefully they will solve this because it disappointing i have been coming almost a whole year and its sad seeing the tea quality going down.

I haven't been to a tea station in probably a decade. We were looking for a sunny spot to sit outside in the witching hour of the afternoon when all of the Japanese restaurants were closed.Staff was very friendly (especially for an East Asian place) and even came out to wipe off the outside table in case it had gotten dusty, although it already looked very clean. No pressure from the staff to order very much food to share, which feels rare. Tea quality is good. I always appreciate getting to choose the sweetness level. Not the cheapest lunchboxes but it was comforting and satisfying with some nice veggie sides and a light broth like the ones I grew up with. Snack was tasty (surprise chives in the cheese rangoon!)Bonus for having a tablet station in the front where you can order yourself. I didn't see it until I sat down but I'm using it in the future!

I come to this place almost every week and I think it's one of the best places to study at if you plan to study here for hours. I normally like to go to cafe's that have actual meals and not just bakery items like bread and cakes. Besides Starbucks, I would say if you like to have a meal in between studies with consistent taste in drinks and good boba, I highly recommend this place. The fact that their bathroom is sooo clean really shows how much they care about how the place looks here. The music they play here varies but it doesn't bother me while I study in my opinion. The music is very relaxing or chill. Overall the service here is good, the food presentation is good, the drinks and food taste really good, atmosphere is perfect for study seshes, plenty of outlets to charge your electronics, and place is clean ^^ highly recommend for college students
Ambiance: spacious tea station located in South Bay, not cleaned adequately, trash on the ground and on the tableService: impatient with questions and slow while it's not busy in store, they ran out ingredients for snacks Food & Drink: standard tea station menu Popcorn Chicken - *** very dry and rubbery chicken Fried Tofu - ** flavorless tofu Rose Milk Tea - *** bold artificial flavorPrice: generous for drinks but small portions for food and overpriced for the quality, about $30 per order

Really good drinks! Came here on Saturday night. It was pretty empty for some reason. Walking in, there's a lot of things that you notice such as kiosk, bunch of menu everywhere, pins for sale, decors, etc. Since there's so much stuff everywhere, there's a relatively small window where you can order from if you do not want to order from the kiosk. The kiosk was a bit laggy so I ordered at the counter. I ordered the cheese foam black tea. The black tea was bold and delicious! I really enjoyed my drink. Really solid here, just surprised that it's empty on a weekend night.

We wanted some boba and found Tea Station. The boba drinks were very good. We had a Taro milk tea and classic milk tea. The boba was nice and soft with a good chew. They also sell small plate food items! The service and employees were very friendly. They have ample tables to sit at inside. It was clean and spacious. Always a good choice to stop by a Tea Station. Grab a drink and some food and enjoy! Happy Nom Nom!

Ok, this little Taiwanese place is not worth the money at all!!! Trust me, so I grab one of those bento boxes at the cost of $19.00 each. The box was maybe 10X10 with 4 sections within, and within those 4 sections. They fill it with 1. rice ($5 for a whole bag), 2. bean sprouts ($2 full bag) 3. pickled greens ($ 97cents a lb.) So they fill it up with this little bity sides that could not even amount to $5 for all of it, then you get a little of the protein... and very little as it is. I also ordered The popcorn chicken comes in a 3x3 inch box for the price of $9! The quality was not great, the counter girl said she could have this meal in 2 sittings. I beg to differ, I swallowed the whole thing in 5min. not very satisfying's at all and I was still hungry. Save yourself the heart ache of realizing you paid $19 for some items you probably already have in your cupboard and could most likely cook on your own for the a more fresh meal. Way over priced for no good reason, its not even that good at this location. skip this location for sure.
