The last three times I was there, they were out of boba. The final time,I called beforehand to make sure they still had boba and I was told that they did. But when I got there five minutes later I was told there was no boba.

As a Taiwanese, I am not a huge fan of this shop. The drinks are way too sweet even at 0% sweetness level and the teas don’t really taste like the tea I expect from Taiwan. However, the vibe is really nice so even amongst that this is a nice place to hang out.

One of my favorite boba shops, thank goodness is close to where I live. I would say this shop is pretty spacious. They had a couple of seating areas and the noise level is pretty quiet(unless it gets busy) and their background music isn't loud. Perfect location since it's right across Lunasia(Dim Sum restaurant) Their customer service is great! They were nice and helpful. No complaints about anyone :DI usually ordered their Fresh Taro Latte or Sweet Taro Sago Latter Frappe and they never disappoint. I would highly recommend their taro drinks if you're a taro lover. Their taro drinks are artificial they don't use any powdered taro :) Can't wait to try their other drinks!

Hands down the best milk teas I e had. Their fresh taro latte is to die for, no powdery stuff, they use real taro chunks. Their boba is really good too. Every drink I've ordered has been incredible. This place is truly a gem!

I'd consider myself a self proclaimed boba connoisseur and in my opinion this is your run of the mill boba shop. The drinks are ok, but I would rather go to Sunright or 7leaves if I had to choose a location in the Torrance area. My bf got a Traditional Milk Tea and it was very standard, but I prefer a more robust tea flavor. My Puchong Green Tea was watery, plus the tasteless boba made for a pretty bland drink.My biggest gripe is the size of their boba. We ate all the boba before we got through half of the drink. The boba balls are too small for the large straw, so you suck up a mouth full of boba each sip. The "boba physics" is definitely lacking here. If this is a shop close by, I'd try it for convenience, however nothing to go out of your way for. Since they are known more for their fruit teas, I rounded up to 4/5 stars. However, at a 5/5 location, you can pick anything off of the menu and it'll be tasty.A couple pros were that there was no line after dinner on a week day. We got our drinks quick. The inside is clean and cute with the pineapple plushie.

Ordered: black sesame frappe and salty cream green tea with bobaDrinks were delicious, salty cream foam has a sweet subtle coconut flavor and goes well with variety of tea flavors. Boba was mini and not too sweet.

Good quality drinks overall. A bit too sweet for the most part, thus recommend to choose 50% sweetness or less. Personally recommend 25% sweetness and pancakes if you are a first timer.

Tried the brown sugar pearl milk tea with black tea. It was super watery. I was able to taste a little bit of the tea, and it didn't even taste like there was milk in it. Felt pricy for the quality of the drink. The tapioca pearls however is a 5 star! So soft and warm. I was actually surprised how highly rated this place is on Yelp! Maybe I caught them on an off day. Maybe next time I'll have better luck and try something different, like the brown sugar pearl matcha latte.

Plenty of parking. No other customers on a Saturday morning. Ordered the traditional milk tea with oolong base (base can be black, oolong, or green tea) at 30% sugar, less ice, and with boba. Drink came out in less than 60 seconds. Server was nice and evidently very fast, shout out to Palison! Drink was great; good flavor and not too sweet. Yifang has some of the softest boba balls ever.

It's good depending on what you get. Yi Fang is most definitely known for their fresh fruit teas, so I would steer away from their milk teas and even their salt cream teas. Thor salt cream is very different from other boba places' salt creams; theirs is very sweet and filmy? Maybe they use coconut cream.I really like their Yi Fang Fruit Tea. I forget which fruits exactly are in it, but it definitely has orange and passion fruit. It's a great mix of fresh fruit that pairs well with their tea. It is not too sweet. I also enjoy their Orange Green Tea when fresh orange juice is sweet (winter time).My understanding is that each of their locations has some different drinks that are local to that location, too, which I think is cool!
Absolutely an amazing tea shop. They serve high quality teas, fruit smoothie and snacks. Their famous for the mango smoothie which is has really strong mango taste and refreshing during summer. Their mini bobas are also a must. So glad to see a place like this in Torrance.

Conrad serviced me and was very generous. The tea and egg pancakes were down right delicious.

Really cute interior with lots of space. Clean quiet area. Quick service. Lots of creative drinks to choose from on their menu. I was already more than sufficiently caffeinated for the day so I opted for the brown sugar pearl latte (50% sweetness since they said this drink was really sweet). The brown sugar boba was pretty good, soft and freshly made. Glad I only got half the sweetness because it tasted just right. Overall a refreshing drink. Will have to go back to try some of their others.

If you are a fan of the Yi Fang teas, please know that this location will not allow you to customize your order. They won’t place add-ins even when you are willing to pay more for their already posh prices. This means I will return to the San Gabriel location to get their amazing flavor combinations. After visiting this Torrance location twice, I have given up on my favorite treat. I will head to the many other tea shops nearby.
