    Cute inside
    Megan O.

    This location has sadly closed! We went last week and everything was being taken down and they had little to no ingredients left to make drinks :(

    Inside
    Tina L.

    Great vibes but drinks were average. I tried the Mango Pomelo Sago and thought it was a bit underwhelming compared to other mango drinks I've tried like Auntea Jennys. Sizes aren't that big either for the price. It's a decent place to chill with friends and located with other stores - not bad to walk around.

    Peach oolong milk tea with cream top

    Not bad. A huge selection, so hard to decide since a lot of drinks looked good. Staff was patient. Our party of 4 was satisfied with our drinks. Beware: the strawberry peach sparkling tea was very sweet (like OG tea places' 100% sweet). I liked my peach oolong milk tea with cream top. It was truly cream--whipped cream. And my favorite part was some ?barley inside. The pecans were a nice touch, but also tasted like they could've been fresher. My friend liked his hot peach oolong milk tea, which surprisingly also had barley at the bottom. My other friend and my bf liked their strawberry peach sparkling tea. They said it was like a sweet mocktail. One out of two of them found it to be too sweet (the other one likes soda and would probably drink it every hot day if it were good for you). The decor is cute and clean. Some large families came in on a temperate March Sunday mid-afternoon, so it got a bit busy. Overall average and the barley in peach oolong MT was a delightful touch. However, since I only might come back if in the area, 3 stars for now.

    This is my go-to place whenever I crave boba. I love that they have a wide variety of teas and customizable sweetness levels, and you can add fresh boba of your choice. Their Peach Jasmine Milk Tea is not too sweet and perfectly suits my taste, so it is one of my frequent orders. The staff is also friendly, which makes the experience satisfying. As for parking, it is located inside a large plaza, so parking is always available whenever I go. It is also fun to grab a boba and go shopping at the Target right next door.

    Cute place, if you enjoy your drink here, there are tables, games and table top activities available. Check out the counter space opposite of ordering and see what is displayed. Excellent tea and creative flavors. Our group of 5 ordered different drinks and we were all satisfied. I ordered their signature drink mango pomelo with my adjusted sweetness preference, wow it was so good, so refreshing, not tart, perfect! We came on a Sunday, there were many drink orders Togo. Had a little wait for our drinks, but didn't mind . Seemed to be one worker making the drinks at the time, and she was killin' it! Made each drink with intention, consistency, many satisfied customers. She was in her zone. Amazing job! It's hard to find good workers these days!

    Went back today to try some other drinks and Jesus was super helpful! He provided great customer service and answered all our questions. The coco dew was probably my favorite drink today.

    I got a grape cheese slush and a passion fruit sparkling tea. Both drinks were delicious. The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of was with large drinks with the dome lid the straws are too short and barely stick out of the cup making it a bit hard to mix the drinks. I wasn't able to mix the grape cheese slush and ended up drinking just the cheese at the end which wasn't bad but I would've preferred if it was mixed together. There is a kiosk that you can order from and a screen that lets you know when your order is ready so there is minimal interaction with staff. There's lots of tables and seating indoors. There are also activities to do and card games that you can use while you hand out at the store.

    Bengong Tea is one of my favorite places to grab a drink and relax. Their teas are always delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and they also offer tasty macarons if you're looking for a sweet treat. The café has ample seating, free WiFi, and even a selection of games, making it a great spot to hang out with friends, study, or get some work done. Another bonus is that they frequently have drink specials available through the Retail Therapy app, which makes an already great experience even better. If you're looking for a comfortable tea shop with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent drinks, Bengong Tea is definitely worth a visit.

    Osmanthus Rice Milk Frost $6.95 with brown sugar boba (extra $1)
    Mary D.

    BenGong's Tea is a tea shop chain that blends traditional Chinese tea with modern flavors. They offer milk teas, fruit teas, cheese teas, slushies, and other signature drinks. I got the OSMANTHUS RICE MOCHI FROST. It was a creamy, blended drink with notes of floral. It had a bit of a rice wine taste to it which I enjoyed. It was also topped with crunchy bits of water chestnut boba. I also added boba for $1, but I didn't know the drink already had the water chestnuts so it was a little too much texture. I got the drink at 25% sweetness, which was perfect. The boba was warm but a little hard and I would not get that in the future. They were super busy on a weekend around lunch time and we waited about 10-15 minutes for our order. The inside was cute and there are a few tables to enjoy your tea. There is also a "wish tree" as an nice decoration. I look forward to trying their mango sago, black rice taro milk tea, other specialty drinks, as well as their milk and fruit teas in the future. Stay thirsty my friends! Yelp Review #8- 2026

    The staff was very nice and there's plenty of parking next to Target. Unfortunately, the drinks tasted very artificial and like someone added essential oils. Orange Jasmine: the orange tasted very fake and you couldn't taste the Jasmine tea. Osmanthus Rice Mochi: the osmanthus had a fake floral perfume taste and the rice was like popping boba. The mochi got stuck in the straw. Da Hong Pao Tea: this tasted like a regular black tea with a weird tangy aftertaste. The interior had cute decorations and some seating but the drinks were unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend it unless you get a fruit smoothie.

    Coco-Watermelon
    David C.

    Walked by this place yesterday just getting some steps in. The wishing tree caught my attention in the front window and thought it was nicely decorated. Noticed this is a tea spot and decided to check it out. I ordered the coco-watermelon with brown sugar boba at 50% sweetness. The watermelon and coconut were subtle and enjoyable. The only unfortunate thing is that by the time I finished the drink it was simply shaved ice. Still every sip was pleasant. The service was good but its obvious they need another tea maker in the kitchen. The staff was completely overwhelmed and did their best, but the order tickets kept rolling in faster than the drinks could be made. Respect the hustle, but this place needs at least 2 more staff members to stay on top the drink rush.

    We stopped by Bengong's Tea in Irvine for the first time and overall, it's a super cute spot with great photo opportunities. The interior is aesthetically pleasing and definitely a fun place to grab drinks. We ordered some of their most popular menu items: the Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea with boba, Osmanthus Rice, Mango Strawberry Boom, and Mango Pomelo Sago. The Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea wasn't my favorite--it had a noticeable rice wine / wine-like flavor , which may appeal to some but wasn't for me. The Mango Strawberry Boom had good flavor, but unfortunately it wasn't blended all the way, so there were chunks of ice throughout the drink, which took away from the experience. On the other hand, the Mango Pomelo Sago was really well blended and delicious--smooth texture and spot-on flavor. If the Mango Strawberry Boom had been blended properly, it would've easily been a tie between the two. One nice touch was the free little gift they were offering when you spent a certain amount--I'm always a fan of small incentives like that. We did come about 15 minutes before closing, so I suspect that may have affected the quality of the blended drinks. I honestly think if we had come earlier in the day, the experience might've been different. I'd be open to giving it another try at a better time

    Osmanthus Cloud Milk Tea & Burnt Brown Sugar Milk
    Cindy H.

    Located at the Market Place in Irvine! I got to try: Burnt brown sugar milk (5/5) - one of the better brown sugar milk drinks I've had. The burn brown sugar on top creates a toasty flavor that goes well with this decadent drink. I also enjoyed their fresh boba. Osmanthus cloud milk (3/5) - got 75% sweet, and it was still on the sweet side. There is a slight floral flavor but it's a little overwhelmed with milk, overpowering the osmanthus tea. There's seating inside with games to play with while you enjoy your drinks. Also convenient kiosk order. Service was pretty slow, but that just shows that their drinks are popular.

    WOW! Just wow! Omomo…read moreis very popular in the Irvine area and during peak hours, the wait can be quite extensive but definitely for good reason. The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink). Overall, I would highly recommend this drink shop to anyone in the area looking to get a refreshing beverage!

    Finally got the opportunity to try this boba spot!…read more We came on a Sunday afternoon while we were in the area, and luckily, the line didn't look too crazy. The past few times we've driven by, the line was literally out the door, so we knew we had to take advantage of the shorter wait. We ordered an Osmanthus Milk Tea with brown sugar boba and a Uji (Matcha) Milk Tea with agar boba (crystal boba). Both drinks came out to $13 before tip. The tea flavor is definitely strong and present, which we really appreciated. The prices are pretty much on par with most boba shops we've been to recently, but the quality of the drinks feels a step above your typical chain boba spots. I can definitely see why this place has such a following. The biggest challenge is the parking. The shop itself is chic, modern, and nicely designed, but I'm not sure why the AC felt practically nonexistent on a hot day. There is a decent amount of seating inside, although I imagine that can change quickly when they're super busy. Overall, we had a great experience, from ordering to the flavor and quality of the drinks. Yelpers, just be warned: come prepared to be patient with parking AND your drinks! We went next door to shop at Trader Joe's, came back, and still had to wait another 10 minutes for our drinks. So if you're in a hurry, plan accordingly! Good tea, worth trying--just bring some patience.

    Admittedly, there isn't a wow factor to this place, but it is a refreshing option in The Market…read morePlace and the staff are rather friendly. The shop itself is a small place with shared seating area outside. The kiosks and mobile app are easy to navigate when placing orders, and there is minimal interaction needed with the staff (a win for introverts). However, the little interaction there has been (greeting, receiving the drink, correcting a mistake I made when placing the order, etc.) has always been professional and friendly. In fact, I made a minor mistake regarding the topping of my drink and honestly should have just left it at that since it was not an error on their end. Instead, the gentleman saw my disappointment and offered to remake my drink with the correct topping (as well as giving me the incorrect one as a freebie). The kind gesture was very sweet of him and I wanted to share. I am definitely returning whenever I am in this general area.

I got the mango pandan sticky rice smoothie which was amazing. I was able to adjust it to zero added sugar, I don't like things too sweet. I've had this type of smoothie at other places and this one is by far the best one I've had thus far. You can either order it on the kiosk or at the counter. I've never been here before so I went to the counter. There isn't a lot of space inside so people usually take their drinks/food to go. They did have cute merch inside though!

I will say they messed up a mobile order of mine once and were really nice about fixing this for me despite I already left the store. Drinks are always made quickly, fresh.

    Very disappointed by Wushiland today around 3:30 p.m…read more When I received my drink, I immediately noticed that it looked like I had received about half the amount of QQube toppings I usually get. Whenever I order from Wushiland, the toppings typically reach around the part of the cup where the word "boba" is printed. Today, there was noticeably less. I politely mentioned to the staff that I frequent Wushiland and that they typically put much more QQube in my drinks. The staff member told me they put one scoop of toppings and that they had done that for my drink. While I understand that there may be a standard serving size, it was frustrating to hear this, especially as a loyal customer who has several photos of my previous Wushiland drinks showing significantly more toppings. I also had another frustrating experience while my drink was being made. I could hear the staff discussing that they were starting to run out of the drink I ordered. Instead of letting me know, they added more ice to my drink, even though I specifically ordered it with less ice. I would have much rather been informed that they were running low so I could decide whether I wanted to make a different selection. I'm not sure if this was an issue with the staff working today or if something was different because of the Labor Day holiday, but the overall experience was very upsetting. I'm especially disappointed because I've had several positive experiences at Wushiland in the past and have always enjoyed coming here. Now I'm pissed and going to Heytea.
