“This is cool spot that’s very popular with students. They offer a great variety of treats - you’ll find something you like“

“We stopped by Hai Cha for boba tea after visiting the museum. The owner greeted us right away as we walked through the door. He's super friendly and he was very welcoming. We got Hai Cha special milk tea with boba. Waffle was boba. Yogurt smoothie and mango smoothie. The size of the smoothies were huge. We enjoyed our food.“

“The store is a bit small but there is ample seating outside. There is also a lot of great options. Both of my drinks were great and both the guy behind the cash register and the two people working the floor making the drinks were helpful and kind at all times. 10/10“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“A bit different from your traditional Boba tea shop. But I do highly recommend it to try this place if you do like something new to try. Their cheesy fruit smoothie is one of the greatest drink I ever had. Perfect sweetness, ice cold and somehow it just feels like burst of freshness and flavors melting in your mouth. One of the negative though is the long wait time, there wasn’t much people ahead of me, but I had to wait about 20-30 minutes before I could get my order.“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

“Best Mango Green Tea in SoCal 🤓“

“We love Boba Friend. We visit here frequently and I like that they have non-caffeinated drink selections for my little one who is obsessed with this place. They also have an option where you can get a mystery plush keychain with your drink. That one is always a fun one to get. We've got quite a few keychains. Highly recommend this place.“

“Beautiful Design and great Boba 🧋 the best is the Hawaiian 🌺fruit drink 🍹“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“Very kind and friendly staff! Everything was freshly made to order, juicy, and very flavorful. This was also very affordable. The scallion oil noodles, and beef/cilantro dumplings were our standouts but we loves everything we ordered.

We would love to revisit someday when we travel back to this area!“

“I was very impressed by the taste of the teas. The milk tea has a strong flavor and the fruit teas are very refreshing. This place has reasonable prices and also often runs promotions! The place has a cute aesthetic and has board games to borrow.“

“Yi Fang in Arcadia is my go-to spot for boba! The drinks are always great, and the quality never disappoints. Ordering is super easy now with their touchscreen kiosks, which make the process quick and efficient. There’s plenty of parking, so no stress about finding a spot. The prices are reasonable, making it an all-around great choice for boba lovers. Highly recommend!“

“有趣的音樂 打眼的綠色 好喝的果肉“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“Loved it 😍 refreshing, tasty and good customer service.“

“Pretty good experience at this Tea Shop compared to other location I went to in Rowland. They have two order yourself stations and I was able to take a look more closely this time at their selection. This is located at the front, and although there isn’t any seating, besides a bench, you could take your drink and walk inside towards the food court.

I tried and enjoyed the Sunlight Fruit Tea. Got it with less sugar and less ice.

We got our drinks really fast, it was clean, what else can you ask for at a Boba place?“

“They have a great variety, they are very welcoming, and the place has a good social vibe.“

“First time here and I love their “coral” refresher drink! Lots of choices from milk teas to refreshers using real fruits! Very nice owners and very hands on with great customer service! Would recommend it definitely and will surely be back for more!“

“Price is right. They serve quick and dependable powder based boba tea drink that reminded me of college days. They have some other boba drinks too but I kinda like their non-lactose milk teas! I’ll go back and try for the other ones.

What really got me in the door were the pastries! I found the aroma, texture and flavors to have been a good quality!“

“Small & assuming with normal bubble tea offerings and some unique takes. I tried the Burn Burn Pineapple, 50% sweetness. Very tasty!“

“Twinkle Brown is my favorite Tea spot in Alhambra, everything on the menu is a must try and must have!“

“Would come here before for their Caramel Frapp, which let me tell you is amazing! I noticed that they had a new menu...SUSHI...so I decided to try a Poke bowl. Let me just say it was the best decision of my life. It was EXQUISITE! Everything looks and taste super fresh. If you love sushi or poke bowls...then don't waste any time and come here you won't regret it! The staff is also amazing!

Portions are amazing! Wouldn't change a thing...“

“The drinks were good. The tofu pudding was legit.
Service can be slower as there is one person manning the whole operation from making drinks to punching cash machines.
The order app does not work when we tried.

Do note there is a free 2 hours parking at the back garage“

“Service - 5 stars
Lucy patiently explained the different options to us and shared her favourites!

Osmanthus rice ferment with fresh milk - 4.5 stars

Boba - 4 stars

Jinxuan mountain tea with fresh milk, no sugar - 4 stars
Tea could've been a bit stronger.

Taro pearls - 3.5 stars
Bit too hard.“

“We loved stopping in after an afternoon in the gardens nearby. Had a refreshing boba on a hot day. You can even choose the level of sweetness and ice! They had a combo where you get a sandwich and a basic tea for free! Good pricing and great quality. We will be back!“

“japanese rice tea/milk tea.“

“Great bubble tea and interesting flavor combinations!“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“I needed some afternoon boba, so I stopped by this Sunright location. This store is located in a plaza with other businesses and it was busy during the time. However, I was able to find ground level parking. Inside the store wasn’t busy though, since I was able to order at the self kiosk right away. The kiosk had an images, so it easy to reference what to get. It was ready within two minutes. I got the Oreo Brulee boba milk tea (regular ice, fresh milk, 50% sweetness, with agar boba). It was a good drink option, especially if you are craving something sweet. This store does have a reward system if you put your phone number, so take advantage of that! American Express is accepted.“

“Love this store very much! Old customer! ! ! ! Recommend Pink Peach Planet! ! ! And their milk tea! ! ! It tastes really good! ! ! I haven’t tried the others, but my friends said they tasted delicious.

Kid-friendliness: It tastes great, feel free to eat it! ! ! Very clean, no need to worry about food safety issues“

“Certified! If it’s your first time here start with the Superior Milk Tea (50% sugar of course). The price is reasonable around $4.50-$7 and the lady was very friendly. Their art and cups are really cool too.

Parking: Big strip mall lot

Kid-friendliness: Lots of drinks“

“This place’s tea quality was phenomenal. I got one of the signature drinks, you get a cup that’s reusable too, and if you want topping they can give it on the side because there is no customization with the signature drinks. The boba was QQ and hot!“

“First time trying this place. Loved their teas and the super cute random photos on the top! ❤️🎁🎄🎅🏻“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“my favorite place for Thai Tea. We've tried many places and this place makes their Thai Tea the best.“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“Okay, I’m from the east coast, so my perspective will affect this.
The boba tea was absolutely amazing. I got the strawberry milk boba tea, and I loved it. It was so cheap too, especially with the toppings I added. I got it with coffee jelly, boba, pudding, and it tasted so good. It also tasted like there was actual strawberry in there and not just strawberry flavoring. Had some strawberry bits in it too. I can’t believe how cheap it was, ($6.50) for a large boba with three toppings. Was also pretty fast too.“

“This place is always super clean, drink done magnificently, and with so much attention to detail. The employees are always super accommodating and welcoming. The two guys who made my order did an amazing job, Christopher and Kyle. Would always recommend this location over others.“

“South El Monte has some of the best boba in the world. South El Monte is also home to a lot of Taiwanese boba supplies companies and import so that makes people who start boba shop businesses in the South El Monte an easy access to the materials and that makes it all thrive. When I am not getting the 7Leaves down the street in South El Monte, I would come here to study Mandarin or work on software engineering projects remotely. I think South El Monte has a thriving community of Asian and boba drink lovers. Hello Boba adds another great addition to that one. Another great option is Boba Time which is also right down the same street. I love to get boba and then head to the King Taco place and drink boba with my taco.“

“Loved my mango slush with ice cream and Brown Sugar Boba. It tasted like fresh mango and then got creamy with the ice cream. I did 75% sugar but next time I'll go 50% because of the ice cream. My partner had a cheese foam matcha drink and enjoyed it. We visited with some friends and their 5yo kids tried boba for the first time and liked the strawberry slush with strawberry boba.“

“Nice little place. Drinks are pretty decent. Very minimalist: Seating is only for waiting for your drink. This isn't a place to sit down and have a conversation. You order, wait, pick up and go. Pretty simple. If there isn't anyone at the front, off to the left wall from the entrance is the tablet to order.“

“Neighbors Tea House offers the most exception beverages and sweet treats, like their Smashed Avocado and Durian and soy pudding. I’m still making my way through their menu but there hasn’t been anything I’ve ordered that I didn’t wish I ordered a large of. Their team is exceptional, especially during COVID. You can order online to expedite your experience. Be sure to say hi to Hailey, the owner, who always comes up with these amazing beverages. Will definitely be back!“

“This is our go to bobba place .
