Boba is nice but the wait is too long (> 40 min), they should have more workers working on the boba.

There is always a long queue.

Loved the tea tasting session!

Best tea in LA!
The only thing I hope they can improve is to reopen the option to order online to save wait time.

Winter special taro series is fantastic

Boba was ok texture, it was a little mushy and not very flavorful. I had to wait in a 20 minute line to order which wasn’t that bad, but the drink wasn’t as high quality as I expected. I got the passion fruit tea and thought it had an interesting aftertaste, and wasn’t too flavorful

I don’t know what the role of the two little girls in front is. I took out my milk tea and left it there for five minutes without calling the number. I just watched them busy and the two in front didn’t know what they were doing. The two making milk tea The boys' hair was so long that they covered their eyes and they didn't wear hats. Only the girls wore hats. While I was waiting, I made three wrong drinks. It felt like I was on the job without training.

Boba was excellent. Some of the drinks weren’t balanced well. Osmanthus oolong with honey was decent but the osmanthus with mango had no tea flavor even with half sweet. Fresh milk tea was ok but the boba carried the drink. It’s also rather expensive for the size but worth trying if you want the boba

CHICHA San Chen is known for their Michelin iTi 3 star award winning Green Tea.

They have 3 different type of dark teas (Cassia Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea, Black Tea) and 3 different type of light teas (Green Tea, Osmanthus Oolong Tea, High Mountain Pouchong Tea). In addition, they also have brown sugar boba, black tea boba, and seasonal limited time fruit teas like peach, orange and grapefruit. I did not see any dairy substitute options on their menu for fresh milk or the mousse.

I tried Fresh Milk Brown Sugar with Bubble ($7.99 - Brown Sugar Boba with Fresh Milk) and their limited time seasonal Peach Green Tea with Mousse (with light sugar and normal ice - $7.29). Both were very excellent and totally worth the wait.

Wait time on Sunday around 3:45pm was about 25-30 mins from ordering to getting your drink. Inside seating is very limited.

Parking is free in the parking lot shared between multiple other tenants in the same plaza so it was very crowded.

Parking: Small/Narrow parking lot on main level, but more parking underground parking. Parking is free.

The line was really long, but we didn’t think the drinks were very good. The quality did not justify the price.
