Cha For Tea - University Center

excellent establishment, super affordable and great portions

I went here a lot a while ago, and while the quality has dipped a tiny bit, I'm happy to report cha for tea is still a good place to eat. The teas are very tasty, and the crispy chicken plate is a classic. The chicken is a bit cartilaginous, and the rice is too dry for my taste, but everything is seasoned great, and the sauce enhances everything. Great place!

I feel obligated to make a pleasant update: while visiting again, a trainee made a mistake with my order and after confirming I wasn't charged for an extra item I had asked for, I left and was chased down by the supervisor, who emphatically offered the same drink on the house. He made it on the spot exactly how I liked it. Its customer service like this that elevates consumer perception, and that's why I'm raising my initial review to a 5.

I’m sorry but what in the boba is this. I feel like milk tea is the most easiest drink to make. So I don’t know how they manage to send off a drink with literally just milk. If I wanted to wash down my food with straight up milk I would’ve just milked my cow in my backyard. Now this drink is undrinkable and unthinkable. I gasped at this drink when I received it. Yes I mixed the little brown syrup at the bottom and it didn’t do anything. Like why was this acceptable to send off or even make in the first place? First and last time I’m ordering here…

Boba spelled backwards is Babo and it means stupid in Korean so I always wondered why bubble tea stands for boba in the States

Opens until midnight!

I ordered a hot tea. It was prepared in a microwave. That's embarrassing. No shade to the employees, they're just doing what they were trained to do, but the owners need to rethink this in my opinion. I will wait for freshly brewed tea over microwave tea any day of the week. I'm not coming here again.

The milk tea and chicken are so good here!

I have been coming here since my college days.

They have good milk tea options and I always order the popcorn chicken. I am not sure what the sauce they give you is called, but it goes perfectly with the chicken. As for milk tea, my favorite is their lychee milk tea <3

The service is friendly and quick. Seating is limited though, so if you are planning to study here, it can be hit or miss depending on how busy it is.

Loved it! It has every kind of food court and stores.

I came here relatively often in my junior college days. I'm not too far with my car, thankfully. Every time I've ordered something, it was usually good. I get cravings for their matcha green tea boba and some other flavored boba tea drinks like lychee green tea and almond milk boba, etc, on occasion. I still like this place today. yay !

Great boba, close by university, quick services, but please bring bank the bamboo straws. Not sure why they switched to paper ones, but they disintegrate easily. Bring back the bamboo straws 😭

Amazing boba!!! We drove an hour just for the boba!! The only thing is that they do use paper straws… so if you can bring your own. The boba is always on point sometimes the tea is not. The line can get long, but worth the wait. Will be coming back.

Male asian server super rude.

Celebrated a birthday here and they were so sweet and accommodating! 5 stars 🤩

Love the mango green tea!
