I don’t normally write reviews but this was especially terrible and I hope they improve their quality at this location.(The Times Ave. Location is excellent).Ordered a large oolong milk tea 50% sugar less ice.What I got was the most watered down room temperature 7.30$ drink.I saw the guy making it.He used a teapot with mesh insert and steeped less than half a cup of teaAnd dumped it into a blender that already had some diluted milk and ice in it. He blended that quickly.I’ve never seen drinks made that way… usually with a shaker and with very well steeped tea.I was very disappointed that I paid so much for basically lightly sweetened water.I would have went back to complain but I was on my way to work.

Excellent place to study or chill. Food is edible, bubba is drinkable.

Good food, good service, and good ambiance. Good location overall. The King 's Tea Pork Ribs with Steamed Rice were good.

I ordered a Large Iced Green Tea with Honey and it tastes like sugared water. I couldn’t taste any trace of tea at all.TenRen has a good reputation in Hong Kong and Taiwan for their high quality tea, very disappointed by the lack of tea flavour in the drink. Hopefully the shop owners are aware of it and are willing to improve.

The woolong milk tea I ordered was very watery. The waitress in her sweat shorts had a bad attitude. It seemed that she had not been taught to be courteous with others. I am always kind to others, and that sometimes is taken advantage of because they see it as a sign of weakness. These obnoxious teenagers who have not been around in the world do not know that kindness is one of the most powerful traits. I was very tempted not to tip her. Why should we tip bad servers anyways? It has become a norm that is very toxic and unjust.

Felt very out of place here. Was looked at and stared at uncomfortably. The person taking my order was rude. I ordered a taro slush which didn’t taste as good as other locations which I’ve been to. If you aren’t of Asian ethnicity I suggest not coming here you won’t be treated with respect.

I ordered iced mango green tea to go today, the drink was very bad. It was like sugar water.The waitress' service was nice, she did everything she could, but the drink was too bad. I will not go there again.

The food and drinks are always good but the service is so bad. The waitress clearly hates her job and I received one of the worst restaurant service experiences on Oct 29th. If you like Ten Ren, go to another location and skip this one.

Good food, terrible service. The server ignored all the customers and stood in the corner the entire night. Everyone had to go to her to order/pay. She only answered “yes” or “no” and “ok” to our questions and requests. The restaurant should know that they are paying this server to read a book during her whole shift.

poor service, made a mistake with my drink order, didn’t apologize and attempted to recharge mefor adding the grass jelly they MISSED. Would not come back ??

Great location, post pandemic, this location is quiet. The Puu Lee tea white noodles in soup with beef, tasty, but the soup is lukewarm. Server is polite but lacking experience. She did not offer different type of tea base for my taro milk tea. I am shocked that lunch at this place cost 26 dollars for 1drink + noodles for 1 person. They used to offer package meal with tea. Clean place with subway accessibility. No music in this place, management please note. WIFI is free.

Excellent service at this quaint and vibrant gem. Prices are a little high but I'm happy to say after my first official meal that the food is very tasty! Serving staff are prompt and polite and the menu is easy to read and has plenty of choice. Of course you should always enjoy a bubble tea with anything else you might have. They could put a little extra tapioca in when asked (since you do pay for it) but overall the atmosphere here is nice and relaxing. The dining room is well lit (which is good) and the use of bright and vivid colours throughout give it a modern style. If the prices went down 10-20% I might just live here. Great place.
