“Stop the car.....this is a place you can't afford to pass by. The quality of the Boba is fantastic & yummy. The ambiance is so very quaint. The owner Kelli is very friendly. So do yourself a big favor and do not miss this place. Rene B“

“I stopped by Yin Yang Tea today for a Spam Wrap, and as always, it was delicious! Their teas are amazing, and the boba is always fresh—hands down some of the best around.

I also want to give a special shoutout to the owner. I see her almost every morning with her two little babies, and I truly admire her dedication and work ethic. Running a business is challenging on its own, and doing it while caring for two young children is incredible. She always greets customers with kindness and keeps the quality of her drinks and food consistent.

I highly recommend Yin Yang Tea. Great service, fresh ingredients, and an inspiring owner. 10/10!“

“Surprisingly spacious inside! They do have a rear lot, but street parking is probably your best bet. It’s definitely more of a social hangout than a quiet study spot, but the layout works well. Despite the crowd, service was efficient, I had my two drinks in less than 10 minutes. The peach oolong was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.“

“Didn't know what to expect first timer here but it was uh-mazing. Lots of unique flavor options and for those lactose-phobic folks out there, you can customize to fit your needs and sweetness levels. Also they have the traditional plastic top covers which lets you puncture the straw thru the top - LovE! Puncturing the top is half the fun!“

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

“High quality milk green tea with one of the freshest bobas I’ve tasted in a while.
Most importantly, great value for this quality! #bangforyourbuck

Environment & vibe fun, cozy, & positive! Staff are friendly, offer free samples; I loved it all.“

“Happily stumbled across this cozy boba shop on accident. The staff will treat you very friendly and you’ll receive a high quality drink. I’m just not sure if it’s always that cold in there or what the purpose of that would be, but it was definitely noticeable during my brief visit“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

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

“everything made to order! i don’t mind waiting 15 min to get something absolutely delicious!!!

i recommend the meat pan fried pancakes the most :-)) everything is so affordable n homemade idk how they stay in business. i think their steam bao is okay tbh. beef noodle soup very good just add some chili oil makes it much better.

soy milk is very smooth and the millet porridge very homey. I will definitely come back and bring more friends!!“

“With plenty of bakeries around SGV, I had to try Oh My Pan as I've heard some good qualities about their shop. Parking here is small to moderate as it's shared with other shops. Pretty small lot but there's underground as well, could be a bit compact but street parking is also accessible.

At first glance, this is a pretty sizeable bakery. A decent amount of tables as well since it's a cafe combo. Cakes, bread, drinks are all accessible and the drinks are fairly good for the cheaper price compared to the standard boba shops.

Breads here are restocked fairly often and from the baskets, there's plenty of unique options of breads that aren't seen in other bakeries. One that caught my eye was the boba bread and the matcha swirl bread. Both are fairly delicious but I would say it's a acquired taste. Definitely a try it once type of bread and have a verdict afterwards.

My partner and ordered a couple of the breads to try which include the signature pineapple breads, matcha, sausages, and some sweeter bread as well. All were pretty soft, fresh, and cheaper compared to other bakeries. We also ordered two drinks, the Orchid Milk Tea & the Light Oolong Milk Tea.
Both were pretty refreshing but nothing over the top as it's cheaper than the usual shops.

Overall, a nice spacious bakery/cafe combo that's good for doing some work, a small bite, or drinks for affordable price. They also have cakes so that's definitely an option whenever I have a birthday to consider.“

“Located inside LAX-C's plaza is ChaTraMue. It's the quintessential Thai tea joint from Thailand. It was established in 1945 and has been trusted for over 80 years.

They have a variety drinks, but they're famous for the very popular Thai iced tea. I opted for the Thai Tea Slushee, my wife the Original Thai Tea and my daughter the Sala Milk.

For the Thai tea, we opted for 70% sweetness and it was still very sweet. We'll have to try the next one down which is 30% next time we're in the area. The Original Thai Tea would've been perfect if it wasn't so sweet and same goes for the slushee. I felt that if it was less sweet, it would be perfect. Ill have to ask if I can bring down the sweetness of the slushee the next time I'm there. As for the Sala Milk, it was a hard no for everyone. I've never had this before - even in Thailand. Unfortunately, my daughter took a sip and was done with it.

Definitely will come back to try other flavors and adjust the sweetness levels of our drinks. Don't forget to grab yourself some tins of tea to take home and make in the comfort of your home!“

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

“Stopped by because they were on the SGV passport and got a watermelon drink and milk tea. Unfortunately no regular boba at opening, but they did have the crystal boba as substitute. I really liked the watermelon one as it was quite refreshing on a hot day and even had some fresh mint in it. The milk tea was enjoyable too. Prices are decent and the staff was friendly, so I'd come back again“

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.“

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

“Was heading past the Fashion district when my girlfriend wanted Boba, I asked her where she wanted to go, and she said that Yamisha right here is like a gem hidden in the rough.

Interested, I went in and was greeted by Yi Feng. I saw they had Horchata Milk Tea which isn't seen in a lot of boba shops, so I tried that out. It was nice and refreshing with 50% sweet. Will be coming back whenever I am in the area again!“

“I have one word...tasty!!!“

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

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

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

“Best Mango Green Tea in SoCal 🤓“

“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!“

“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’ve been here a couple times and Jason is a real stand up guy who is very friendly and courteous. His shop is clean and he’s got tons of choices! It takes awhile just to figure out what you want out of all the choices. The location is in a shopping center I go to for other things so it is in a convenient location for me. Will keep coming!“

“This is the place you want to go to if you want a boba. There’s So many options. Although, there is many options , I always get the same thing lol. I’ve been going there since 2017!
All the girls that work there are AMAZING and lovely !!! Alyssa is sincerely the best! As soon as she sees me walk in , she knows my order and is already making my order lol. The other girls know what I like as well lol. Now for the two guys that work there , they are honestly rude from time to time ,not always friendly nor welcoming. I feel a huge tension when they are there. The girls are what makes that place feel warm and nice and enjoyable. They deserve extra tips and a raise! 🖤🫶🏼🖤“

“They make the best tea ever! Easy parking and friendly staff!“

“If you're looking for boba in Huntington Park, I highly recommend this place. The drinks are consistently great, and the service is incredibly friendly. The staff were so kind that it made me want to come back again. Whenever I'm in Huntington Park, this will definitely be my go to spot for boba!“

“We were a bit stuffed on boba so didn't end up having this drink until 1.5 days later, but it was still so delicious! We got the calamansi shiso drink, which had a lovely fruity citrus flavor paired with light tea and silk tea boba. The silky jelly was so delicious and paired so well with the drink. We added a final pit stop at the nearest Odd One Out immediately after trying this drink.“

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

“This is my first time coming here from Michigan to California. I love the popcorn chicken! The popcorn chicken is going to be my new craving that I'll miss when I leave California. Even my toddler who usually is picky, is enjoying it. I would recommend the popcorn chicken!“

“Really good drinks! Super fresh and well-balanced, not too sweet and not watered down. The tea flavor is strong and high quality.

Highly recommend the black tea ice cream — really fragrant and not too sweet. Definitely coming back again.“

“Absolutely delicious!! Incredibly fresh and tasty. I got the Friends Bowl with Blue Majik base and added peanut butter and it was heaven on a spoon. I also got the Chia Parfait for the next day and that was perfect too. I’m only sad I didn’t find this place sooner!!“

“Great boba chain with consistent drink quality. I visited the store near Lunar new year time and was given red envelopes with mu purchase. I went to pick up my fav drinks with them, which are mango pomelo sago and winter melon milk tea with grass jelly!“

“Heard good things about their drinks so finally tried it while I was in the area. I ordered through the Hungry Panda app since they had a coupon that made it cheaper or else it would be kind of pricey. I ordered the Cheesy Mango Smoothie with less sweet. They have a small storefront with only two or three tables so it's more of a grab and go boba store.

The drink was ready in around 5 minutes and it was super easy to pick up. I really liked the drink. The blended mango smoothie tasted very fresh and not artificial. And the taste of mango and cheese foam goes so well together. I can see why cheese foam is so popular with fruit smoothies.

I will be back again to try their other fruit drinks!“

“This is such a great drink/dessert spot! The drinks here are unique and have great flavors with real fruit, taro, yucca, or special seasonal fruit. We loved the papaya coconut slushy with jelly and fresh papaya. The Dubai cracking chocolate with the pistachio slush is so fun to crack and a perfect sweet treat. The mango pomelo sago was fruity and creamy and taro mochi milk tea had good tea flavor. The homemade mashed taro and taro balls and popcorn chicken remind of Taiwan. They have plenty of seating and character friends too!“

“The uncaffeinated toasted grain milk tea was phenomenal. Roasted flavor that’s not too deep and pairs well with nunumochi.

I was a bit shocked that the mochi wasn’t solid gel-like but the manager kindly explained that they don’t use preservatives so it’s more of a hybrid between liquid and gel. Whatever it is, I love it. I forgot to mix it so it got a bit sweet towards the end, but will definitely order this again and mix next time!“

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

“Whenever I'm in Arcadia, BenGong is one of my go to spots. Their menu is quite extensive and drinks never disappoint.

Parking is plentiful and free which is a nice plus.
Interior is very cute, good amount of tables as I see plenty of people sit and do work on their laptops here. To the right is a wishing tree that's decorated and perfect for photos. There's also a self ordering kiosk which is great when the shop gets busy.

The menu itself is very extensive and very unique. Ranging from brown sugar specials which is one of their signatures to one of my personal favorites, the sparkling series. They also have Yakult, cheese, and fruit series to order. Staff is friendly and quick as our drinks came out withing 5 minutes.
(Ordered on this specific occasion)

-- Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($6.00) -
Very refreshing drink, peach doesn't overpower the drink as a whole and is just a perfect drink overall. Came in their deco cups which was a plus. Mixed very well with the Oolong Milk Tea, I would recommend this drink for anyone that has trouble deciding what to get. 10/10

-- Strawberry Peach Sparkling Tea ($6.25) --
I was pretty interested in the sparkling series and this one caught my eye the most. It's pretty much as expected, sparkling tea. Similar to a soda feeling, this was a solid refresher on a warm day. Although the taste kind of went away after about an hour, it was still a decent drink to try. Definitely checking the other sparkling drinks out next time I visit. 8/10

One underrated thing about this shop is their different type of cups. Ranging from the standard size cups, to their round cups and their decorated cups. Many drinks come in the smaller round cups so watch out for that if you're expecting a standard cup. Regardless, the cups are well made and super cute and sturdy.

Overall, wonderful shop with cute designs, friendly staff, and high quality drinks. You can't really go wrong with any drink here as they're all super flavorful. Highly recommend giving BenGongs a visit.“

“BOG, Wa Sai Watermelon, Strawberry Basil Ginger Lemonade!“

“Tried this place for the first time since I was in the area. Got a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The tea was good and not too sweet. Boba was nice and chewy. I like that I was able to order online and just pick it up. Would come back here again!“

“This Sunright location has been a solid spot in my boba rotation for years. It's quite a small shop with no seating, just a place to order and go. They have two self ordering kiosks at the back which is great especially when it's busy. However, I'd always prefer to order online anyways to remove any wait time at all.

Interior is pretty clean and staff is pretty quick, parking is plentiful, street parking and parking lot in the back.

My go to drinks here is always the oreo brulee and the white peach milk teas. Both are very refreshing and always delciious regardless of weather. It can get a bit sweat for the oreo brulee but a sugar adjustment does the trick. I like that their cups are one of the more higher quality feel than other shops. Simple design yet modern and classic at the same time. The bottom is sturdy but has a round outer layer, very unique as other shops don't have that style.

Overall, great drinks, extensive menu, and options for all kinds of tea lovers. They have other locations as well but this location is one that's been around for a long time, very consistent for the most part. Keep a look out for events they do on social media and also recommend downloading the Toast app to collect points.“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“
