Sunright Tea Studio - Irvine

Went for some boba tea after lunch at Kingchops on a weekday. This place was bustling with people constantly walking in. You order on the screens at the counter, pay right there, and then they call your name with the drink. I had the panda milk boba tea and I chose 25% sweetness but it was still pretty sugary. The serving size is pretty big, and I definitely felt bloated with this after a full plate for lunch.

They don’t do the round bottom plastic cup

Never have any issues here. Always nice staff. Also never had boba with the creme brulee pudding at the bottom. Definitely a first and wish other places had that. Also the Dubai chocolate frostie is bomb, wish there was a peanut butter add-in option.

I'm not usually this passionate. My friend and I came here for the sunright collaboration with love and deepspace. My friend was super excited and got her Caleb and I got the Rafayel matcha. After we very happily paid for our drinks, we were waiting for our drinks and the merch. Imagine our surprise when we got nothing. After asking for the merchandise, we were told they ran out! No signage anywhere to let us know that the whole reason we came to Sunright ran out. My matcha drink was supposed to have brown sugar and I chose 100% sweetness but I couldn't taste the brown sugar at all!

Ordered Sunright boba milk tea with almond milk. Like that the boba was included.

my fave tea place in irvine, milk teas are consistently good and the staff is always super nice!!

Been a fans of sunright tea studio for a whole because their tea are so good, but not this store. My first time to this place since I am not from this area, and the drink is so disappointed. The strawberry tea tastes like strawberry water, and the other tea had no flavor as well.

Super busy location, but it was easy to order and our drinks came out quickly with no impact to quality

Melanie deserves 5-stars!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Quick and friendly service. My 3 year old daughter was so happy with her boba drink. Thank you for serving us today, Melanie, and for being so kind and wonderful to my daughter!

I’ve been to Sunrise Tea Studios many times, and I’ve always been impressed by their drinks. This is my first visit to this particular location, and while it’s a bit different from their others in terms of ambiance, the quality of the drinks is still top-notch. I’m a big fan of their strawberry matcha and Oreo brulee – they never disappoint.

At this location, you order through a kiosk, which adds a unique, self-service touch. It’s convenient, and they accept Apple Pay or card, but cash doesn’t seem to be an option. The staff is helpful, but they mainly stay behind the scenes, only engaging when they call out your name for order pickup. It’s a bit more streamlined and efficient, which some might appreciate.

The seating area inside is limited, so I’d recommend this spot more for quick stops or to-go orders rather than large gatherings or long hangouts with friends. It’s a bit more utilitarian in terms of space, but overall, the drinks and service are still great, making it a solid choice for those looking to grab a delicious drink on the go!

I have been coming here for my boba regularly several times a week. The tea is very good. However, the bobas are not consistent, some days they are well cooked and great but other days, they are not. Today the boba is chewy and not good. So I am wondering, aren't bobas cooked using an SOP? Why are the bobas not consistently good?

Visited this place by recommendation from a friend. It’s tucked away in the corner of Irvine Village Plaza, where there’s some decent parking available. The shop is small but has a cozy ambiance with a good amount of seating inside and outside, making it a nice spot to hang out.

The menu offers a wide variety of drinks, including classic milk teas, fruit teas, and some unique specialty options. I tried their oolong milk tea, and it was smooth and flavorful, with the boba having a nice chewy texture. The service is generally fast, but during peak hours, it can be a bit slower. There’s no direct interaction with staff since orders are placed through kiosks. They only have two kiosks, so lines tend to form during busy times.

Overall, if you’re looking for a good boba spot to hang out and enjoy a refreshing drink, this place is definitely worth a visit!

I ordered their strawberry yakult drink. It was watery and did not taste well. I would suggest to go somewhere else.

Nice restaurant. Good drinks. I don’t like the move to self-ordering these days, but I understand it’s part of the times.
