Stopped by on a Saturday night and was shocked--this place was practically empty despite being in a bustling plaza with heavy hitters like Capital Seafood and VitaCane. It definitely deserves way more love. I got the mango pomelo sago and mango mochi drink, and both were solid: fresh, well-balanced, and tasty--nothing life-changing, but genuinely enjoyable. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion size. The interior is bright and welcoming, and the service was friendly and quick. If you're in the area craving boba or tea, don't sleep on this spot. Definitely worth a try! read more

This is a very interesting place. Stopped by to try it out because I was in the area. I'm not familiar with these type of drinks so I tried the drink they had advertised as their special. I told the person at the counter I didn't know about the drinks and he talked so fast I couldn't really understand him. Something about how sweet I wanted it, so I was able to tell him not too much. We did get that far. The drink tasted good luckily. It would be nice if the person at the counter could be more helpful to newbies. read more

Went to try this place and got the mocktail pina colada and it was very refreshing. Staff friendly, place is clean, parking can be a challenge. Went there at 12pm. My compadre got #3 peach oolong and the funny thing was they added barley which is used in soup but good. read more

Bengong's has a distinct interior that is very similar, if not identical, to their other franchise stores, and it is gorgeous. That being said, service was average, they don't have a self-order kiosk like the Irvine location. My friend and I went here to Bengong's in Arcadia for a taste comparison test as we did not have a good experience at the Irvine location. Got the Peach Oolong Milk Tea (no adjustments) and Tea Cube Milk Tea - Jasmine Tea (25% sweetness, no ice). These are the same drinks we both got at the Irvine location. - Peach Oolong Milk Tea: I got this with no adjustments. Significantly better than when I got this at their location in Irvine! This time, the drink tasted similar to other peach oolong milk teas I've had from other shops. However, while it's better than the Irvine location's, the taste of the peach oolong tea was still faint and not as fragrant as I'd prefer or that it should have been in general. Again, I wouldn't recommend this drink based on my experience. - Tea Cube Milk Tea - Jasmine Tea: My friend got this at 25% sweetness with no ice. This tasted very fragrant as a tea, and the tea cube topping was more flavorful than I had at the other location in Irvine. It was not as diluted with milk either. While I would like a stronger tea flavor, this is still drastically better than the first time we got it in Irvine. My friend also agrees that this location does a better job with the strength and flavor of the teas and the balance with the milk. Overall, this location is why I'd consider going back, but to make the drive for an inconsistent quality, I personally don't see myself doing so. This franchise as a whole seems inconsistent per location, which also makes sense because it's a franchise with different management and staff each location. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to be discouraged to return despite the better quality here. At the end of the day though, this was a fun little experience to do the taste comparison test, perhaps I will continue this with the Garden Grove and San Diego locations eventually too. I would say that it's a hit-or-miss here, so if you're interested and in the area, it's worth a try. Otherwise, I don't see it being something to go out of your way for. read more

This place is super cute! If it wasn't for yelp, I definitely wouldn't have seen it. It's tucked away in a small plaza. I went on a Saturday around 5:30 pm and there was no line. Since it was my first time, I went with their Special Boba Milk Tea with no changes. You could really taste the quality of the tea. The boba was a great texture too. Next time I'll definitely lower the sweetness. There are lots of tables for you to chat or work from. It's a solid boba spot. read more

We went 10 minutes before they close on a Saturday night and ordered two drinks. The store decor is pretty cool. Even though we were the last customers for the night, the staffs took a good amount of time to prepare our teas which came out pretty good. Although it's a little wait, it's worth it. One thing I noticed is that the menu posted on the store window is a little different than the one inside the store. There wasn't an indication of hot drinks on the window menu. Will come back to try other teas on the menu. read more

the worst management ever. The store was having a promotion for 50% off of the drink per customer, so there were like hundreds of orders. And there was only one boy who was doing the orders. People were just waiting hours to get the drink. I could feel that he was definitely nervous and overwhelmed. The worst management. Worst. read more

I got the mango pomelo sago drink and it really satisfied my mango cravings! I will warn those who are not fans of pomelo - it may come as a surprise to find the bitter flavor in your drink from the bits. The sago really adds to the texture of the drink and is a nice addition. I asked for it to be less sweet, but they don't do adjustments for this drink. It ended up being not too sweet anyway which was a nice plus! The place had a fair amount of seating and it wasn't too busy when I went on a Friday night. There's a cute tree you can add your notes to as well in the store. It's a very casual boba spot and could be a good place to play board games ! There's also plenty of parking! read more

Located in the same plaza of Tokyo Wako, plenty of parking spots. A small boba/tea shop but very cozy environment. This is my first time visiting and pretty excited. I ordered one of their top 6 drinks-- Mango Pomelo Sego. Absolutely amazed by how fresh, how real and how delicious the drink is. The staff who took my order was very sweet and nice, he made some recommendations and being patient. read more

Benggongs Tea 411 E Huntington Dr Suite 113, Arcadia, CA 91006 - 5/5 2/5 ($) parking lot - Boba boba! I had the chance to try out @bengong and it was super delicious! We ordered: 1. Mango Mochi 2. Osmanthus Latte 3. Jasmine Tea Latte 4. Peach Latte I think the best Asian compliment you can get for dessert is the "not so sweet," from your aunties, and this was definitely what it was giving. The sweetest drink by far was the Mango Mochi which was served as a slush. It was super refreshing and a good pick me up drink for a hot day. The tea lattes were also very good and are definitely a good option for less sweet items. My personal favorite between the lattes had to be the peach latte which was super refreshing and a good study drink! Environment is also a good place to study and chill at, but definitely on the smaller side ‍ #invite follow @no0delle for more more info - 12-8pm sun-thurs, 12-9pm fri&sat read more

First time trying out this place as it just recently opened. I enjoyed the boba I got and the milk tea was not too sweet, which I prefer. Service was a little slow but I think they are just getting used to the workflow. You can order on the kiosk which makes it easier to order. Atmosphere inside is nice. There are 4 tables to sit but seemed like most people got their drinks and left. Prices were average for boba though it did seem like the cups themselves seemed a little smaller. To note they do not have a sign yet out front but guessing it will come soon. Overall I liked this place and do want to come back and try their other drinks. read more

I need to dig how many times I came here, it was fairly often. So I would've gave them a 5 out of 5 but they took out my favorite drink the "Cheese Foam Grape Tea Slush." I was wondering why I liked it so much, it's pretty much fresh grapes mixed with jasmine tea. I like the cheese foam on the side because I can really taste the floral and fruit flavors better. And then every now and then I can get the cheese foam flavor. Today I just got the jasmine tea with popping boba, and I believe the popping boba is probably some form of alginate. I was recently gonna buy some random machine that makes it, think it was called a Spherificator but I digress. What else have I gotten from them, the pomelo mango sago is decent. I think I got one of the fruit teas once. Yeah that Grape Slush was the best, bring it back and I'll up the rating lol. Ambience is nice if you just wanna lounge around but there's not really a lot of space. It feels nice and air conditioned, there's a tree full of notes on bookmarks. Service is usually great, I think every now and then you can see a Gen Z and Millennial interacting, and the generational divide between a stoic nonchalant Gen Z and a Millennial wanting some form of service validation. read more

My friend got the Jasmine milk tea with tea cubes (regular sweetness, regular everything). There was almost no ice, so the drink melted super fast and ended up tasting really watered down. Even at regular sweetness, it was bland. We also tried the Oolong with boba and had the same issue..... weak, watered-down flavor. The boba itself was way too soft and pretty much tasteless, which was surprising since reviews made it sound amazing. I ordered the blended peach with cheese foam (regular sweetness, crystal boba). It was ok.... definitely sweeter than the other drinks, but still nothing special. For the price, I expected way more flavor and quality. Overall, expensive drinks with bland taste. Definitely not worth the hype. The place itself / inside was nice but the workers were not really helpful or friendly either. read more

This tea shop is super cute with Phoenix decor and a wishing tree (we added ours!)! Also they were doing a special where if you got a drink you'd get a free tea bag to take home. The servers are patient and swift. I opted to get the #1 fruit tea mango pomelo sago. It hit the spot as it was 90 degrees outside. The sago popped and the mango puree was nice and smooth. My friends got peach oolong. Would love to try their boba next time. read more

I was attracted by the anime-style art here and the make-a-wish tree in the store. That's why I was here in the first place, but then I found out tea was very nice and it's the real, strong tea without any doubt on the quality. I ordered zero sugar and was really impress by the tea scent without any sweetness. This is so rare in tea/boba shop in America. They also have free wifi and nice seating. The servers were very friendly to give me pen and wishing card to hand on the tree. I also got the tea gift set back home to brew it myself and they're great flavor! read more

Unfortunately, I was unable to take any pictures of the drink. We went for a quick drink before hanging out with friends. We wanted to try some new items so we tried random recipes and they were all sweet and delicious. The ones with the less sugar hit the spot. Since it was our first time, I'm not sure how the service was before. However, the staff was great and welcoming. It had a fun atmosphere and light music in the background. read more

Alright, after trying a few Tea places in this city, so far this has got to be one of my favorites. Location wise it is next to the old Souplantation. This plaza isn't the most busiest, but it has quite a few gems. There is plenty of parking and I was happy that we didn't have any problems here. There are menus outside and keep note that there wasn't any self select option. I personally like this better, this way I can find out what is some of the best drinks. We were greeted by a lady which I believe, may have been the owner. She was super helpful in helping us order. I got the Burnt Carmel Cheese Milk Tea. I can tell you it was just right with 75 percent sugar, light ice. The boba tasted fresh, and I would come back to have this drink again. We also tried the Peach Oolong that was pleasantly good as well. Inside there was some sort of barley or something that made the drink into a desert. Quite a nice surprise. If you are deciding to get a drink in Arcadia, so far I found this place to be one of the better places to have tea. Hope this can help anyone looking for boba in the area! read more

Always great burnt brown sugar. Fantastic boba as well. Nice and sweet and soft. Been coming for a long time.

It's rare to go to a place where every drink you try is as good as you thought it would be. I pretty much tried all of their popular drinks except for black rice and taro because I simply could not resist a taro drink and I'm glad I didn't. They were literally all SO GOOD which is unusual because there's always one I think is just meh. Two were for me (one for the day of and one for the next day) but the rest I tried a sip of since they were my family's. The Uji matcha was rich and creamy, the burnt caramel cheese was unique and worth trying, the passionfruit sparkling tea was refreshing, the taro drink was milky and perfect as a dessert for my sweet tooth, and the mango pomelo sago is a #1 seller for a reason. There's plenty of sitting space too which is nice for studying or just chilling and hanging out with friends. We also received slips of paper where we could write our wish and hang it on the tree for it to come true. The workers were very kind and we also went close to closing so the drinks came out pretty fast. read more

BenGong's Tea is located in the same plaza as Tokyo Wako. I have been to BenGong's Tea twice now and both times had good tea. On my most recent visit, I ordered online and picked up in person. I ordered: Black Rice & Taro Milk Tea, $5.25 prior to tax- I ordered this for my husband, to be made with no ice and 50% sweetener. Even though there was a sticker on the cup with my modifications, there was still ice in it. I didn't try his drink but he told me he thought it fine at the sweetness level. He also did like his drink. UJi Matcha Boba Milk Tea, $5.75 prior to tax- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and with 50% sweetness level. My drink came as I had requested (with no ice, unlike my husband's drink). I thought this drink was made just right. The flavor of the matcha was good and the sweetness level was also good. The boba was also made perfectly, chewy and soft. I enjoyed my drink. --------------------------------- (Total= $12.13 after tax) I only waited a few minutes after I came in and was acknowledged by the 2 employees behind the counter. Drinks are really good here but the price is a little expensive for the size. I won't come too often but I will still come in the future. read more

We decided to try a different boba shop since this one had good Yelp reviews and was less than 0.1 miles from our lunch spot. I ordered the fruit bowl oolong tea plus boba... but it was mostly watermelon with just a slice of orange, a slice of lime, and a couple of small canned pineapple pieces. The boba was too soft, though it did have the brown sugar sweetness we enjoy. Overall, I didn't dislike the drink...it was just okay. There are other boba shops we prefer. read more

I've always heard of BenGong's Tea but never visited until recently. The restaurant is well decorated from inside and out, and the staff member was welcoming and patient in explaining a good number of menu items. Syrups and purees are often ingredients I avoid, but they explained that they used cane sugar and made their own purees in-house. I was captivated by their methods and gave into trying out their Peach Oolong Milk Tea, which also came with their Highland Barley topping. At 50% sweet, the peach oolong milk tea was PERFECT. Their highland barley topping was an experience. As explained, imagine an oat inside a popping boba. It's an interesting and entertaining experience, though I don't know if I'd ever get it again. Overall, though, the drinks and location were enjoyable locations for any quick meet up - will be returning! read more

Best mango pomelo sago in town as Iam concerned, their other drinks are good too but this one particularly speaks to me. Plus they work fast, even on busy days, you usually can get your drinks within 15 minutes max, not like some other places where you might have to wait 30 minutes or more for just one drink. read more

Okay the mango sago here is reason enough to make the drive to Arcadia -- and I say that as someone who has tried mango sago at a lot of places. What sets this one apart is honestly the texture. You get the perfect chew from the sago, real mango pieces that actually taste fresh and fruity, and a creamy base that ties everything together in the best way. It's one of those drinks where every sip has something going on. The sweetness is also dialed in just right -- not cloying or artificial tasting, just clean and balanced in a way that lets the mango flavor actually shine. You can tell they're serious about quality here; they use genuine ceremonial matcha in their matcha drinks, which says a lot about how much care goes into everything on the menu. Definitely will get some matcha the next time I'm here. I finished the mango sago and immediately wished I had ordered two. If you're even slightly a fan of mango or sago drinks, don't sleep on this one. Already planning my next visit. read more
