    The shop is very small and you can self order at the kiosk. The drinks are very over priced in my opinion and everything is an add on. The base price is already almost $7 and I have to add on if I want caffeine ?! 10.43 for a coffee is crazy. Staff is nice and helpful.

    Employee working today was nice and helpful. The mint milk tea was bland, really milky and pretty expensive at nearly $7. The place is tiny and has no seating. I would probably not come back.

    Dirty Pistachio Latte: It IS as good as it looks.
    Maria E.

    I love the Dirty Pistachio Latte...I still think about that pistachio rim and I'm looking forward to being in the area again so I can get another one. We got it at 75% sweet and I'm thinking of getting it at 50% next time-- just to see if it's passes my palate of lessening sweetness. Overall, great experience and recommend it for latte lovers locals and visitors.

    Fast, affordable, delicious, & great customer service! The shop is small, but cute. We ordered a mango lychee refresher and an Okinawa brown sugar milk tea.

    Wanted to get a drink before catching my bus. And the guy at the counter was NOT it. He was being snarky but like helpful for first timers. He had us take the order on the tablet which is fine. However he made my drink incorrectly and wanted to be smart about it. I ordered an iced caramel latte, and he gave it to me hot. I let him know it was iced and he poured my hot coffee over ice. Which made it taste AWFUL. My friend got a strawberry matcha which was beautiful and she loved it. I really wish I would have liked my drink too. But if I would have wanted a warm drink, I would have. I might be back. Maybe not.

    Drink: 5/5 I ordered what looked tastiest and we loved it lol my coworker and I absolutely enjoyed every thing they offered here! We opted with the pistachio matcha. Service: 5/5 The ladies who run this place were so kind, helpful, and had a great attitude. All around: 5/5 I will definitely come back. It's small, clean, and cute. Parking is rough but worth the headache!

    Large size Pistachio Dirty Coffee Collagen Snowy? I think?
    Kelly W.

    This is a cute place. It's also efficient, since you order at the screen and wait, which is nice if you just want a pick me up. The person working was friendly and my coffee was ready quickly. I purchased a large pistachio coffee thingy, and added espresso since it was going to be a long day. There are TONS of pistachios, and it's perfectly sweet, but not overly strong tasting. It's a bit $$$ for what it is (which is why I took off a star), and there's nowhere to sit if you're looking to take a break, but it's a nice little treat for every now and then. I'd come back to try the tea and sandwiches! Recommended!

    My friend and I came here early in the morning to get something to drink. It's a small store, and there were two chairs outside their door. We placed our orders through the kiosk. Since there were no other customers yet, we went through the menu slowly to figure out what to order. We decided on Horchata Milk Tea and Organic Matcha Collagen Snowy Latte. Both were very good. I really enjoyed the latte. We had parked at the Japanese Village Plaza parking garage on 111 S Central Ave and walked across the street to get here.

    strawberry matcha and tiramisu latte
    Katlyn C.

    strawberry matcha 4/5 the matcha was strong and I liked that the strawberry syrup tasted very fresh like they make it in house but didn't like how chunky it was. Would come back to get if I was in the area but maybe not go out of my way to get. tiramisu latte 3.5/5 nothing special. I thought it just tasted like a mocha. The drink was good just did not meet expectations from the name.

    Small little coffee and tea spot in little tokyo! We stopped into this 5x5ft cafe for some boba. The kiosk menu was easy to follow, with pictures of the drinks. We ordered a mango matcha collagen and strawberry matcha collagen at a kiosk and waited inside the little shop. It was on the pricey side, $10 for a large drink with boba. There's no seating or bathroom inside.

    Blueberry Matcha and pistachio latte
    Melanie Y.

    The blueberry matcha was good, but not the best matcha I've ever had. The pistachio latte was ok. The rim is very thick and hard to drink. The shop is super small but there plenty of room to wait outside. They made the drinks pretty slow, maybe because the drinks were a bit more complicated? I would only come back if I had to wait for a restaurant in the area. Cute drinks tho.

    I guarantee this spot is going to blow up soon. This is 17Rootea that just opened in Little Tokyo. You won't find your traditional boba milk teas here, instead they focus on sourcing clean ingredients like organic boba so you can still sip on healthy and yummy drinks without any of the guilt. Pistachio mango avocado smoothie -- sounds crazy I know but it all works so well together. And I didn't drive 80 minutes just for one drink, so I got 3 hehe. I think they forgot the corn kernels that were supposed to go on top of the Sweet corn cream latte but I still enjoyed it nonetheless, and I can see myself coming back just for their Red ginseng tea. Thanks for reading! ^-^

    Iced americano - no room!

    I stopped at Little Tokyo for a sushi run at my usual go-to place when i go to Los Angeles and found out they were soft opening. Drank a few samples as well as ordering the full size for a friend! Im currently on a detox program at a rehab so i ordered some ginseng tea and matcha latte. Their taste was really good and I eventually ordered some to-go for family. It's a tiny shop so you might miss out on this new one but i think it's gonna be popular and hot soon.

I tried a jasmine green tea latte and thought it was very smooth. The regular sugar was fine enough for me, not too sweet. I would try this drink again when I have the CHAGEE open up near my house!

    My eldest daughter got her coffee from Chamberlain Coffee. I wanted to get my tea drink from Chagee…read moreModern Tea House. Both located at Westfield Century City Mall. WOW, one of the busiest spots at the mall! Atmosphere was a bit congested with so many people sitting and standing around. It was hard for me to picture this place in its quiet and peaceful space. They have special merchandise and tea for purchase. Extremely long line all the way out the front door. Once we got closer up to the counter, it went swiftly. Since it was our first time at Chagee, I asked the young gentleman for his recommendations. He suggested Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte was one of their most popular drinks so that's what I got. Thank you young man! My daughter wanted to try the Chagee DayDream Frozen Blended so that's what she got. I know she already got coffee, but there's always room for more. I was surprised the prices were so very reasonable. I thought their prices would be higher based on their high end tea name brand. Another WOW, I was impressed with the unique and exquisite flavor of the tea in my drink. It was quite delightful and addicting to say the least. I loved it! My daughter loved her blended drink, too. A+ for both! Here is the not so WOW part... wait time was a bit long due to the busyness. Also I asked for a bag to store both drinks. The young lady said sure. She opened the pretty designed blue bag and handed it to me. I was shocked by her behavior... such lack of service IMHO. I would have expected her to place my drinks in the bag. I guess not. I bagged them myself. All good. Hence, minus 1 star! Thanks Chagee for staying true to your well crafted tea creations at very reasonable prices! But please work on your customer service. The full tea experience deserves excellent service first and amazing teas second.

    I came here for the Maplestory x Sunright Tea Studio tea collab event. Despite my complaints about…read morethe event itself (not Sunrights fault), the employees did a great job! Everyone pretty much ordered at the kiosks inside of the store, and the line moved really freaking fast despite the mount of people they had to serve. I think I legit waited like 5 minutes and I got my drink, which was the Coconut frostie with boba. This was a really, really delicious drink. Great coconut flavor, would order again. It's interior decor is themed similarly to all other sunrights. They have a nice spacious area to sit/stand/etc. I think they may have moved tables/chairs to make room for the event, as I don't remember seeing any of those at the time.

Sunright Tea Studio is so welcoming and gives off such a sweet and festive ambiance. The studio is so spacious and has a beautiful Christmas tree in the center with area for sitting. We ordered our drinks from the kiosks and we're still able to communicate with the 2 baristas. The baristas were great and helpful in recommending their specialty coffee and milk tea drinks. We ordered the Signature Iced Coffee, Strawberry Matcha Latte, Chocolate Oreo Brûlée and Chocolate Oreo Frostie. The Signature Iced Coffee is a Vietnamese Highland double blend while the Strawberry Matcha Latte is premium matcha from Japan with 4 seasons oolong tea layered with organic milk and fresh strawberries. The Chocolate Oreo Frostie on the otherhand is a rich yet refreshing chocolate ice-blended frostie infused with a generous scoop of crushed oreos. So good! Last but not least, the Chocolate Oreo Brûlée is a velvety chocolate latte swirled with creme brulee foam and served with crushed Oreos. This is one is good yet it's too sweet for me. Can't wait to try other milk tea and specialty coffee drinks on their menu next week/
