    Nice drinks reasonable price and a good service they also sell Nails Yes you heard me they also sell nails now so it's Boba and press on nails and the other part of their store yeah very interesting indeed the drinks are reasonable price instead of like considerably that they are in a mall so that is a huge plus they also have a rewards so make sure you sign up for it if you come frequently

    I got a special boba milk tea. It's tasty and i liked the chewy boba texture. I'll go back to try more drinks.

    FIX YOUR BOBA!!! Soggy boba no good. For this price I'm expecting top-tier. I much rather Wooshiland boba in the mall!! Got an orange jasmine tea. The tea is great, but the Boba is falling apart and mushy. Small shop be prepared for a line. Sweet gal, working in there selling her nails. Was so excited to try since I'm always seeing people walking around with their cups and Boba. Maybe I'll give it a go next time but no Boba!!

    The line was out the door when we came to get some drinks. It' was my first time here and I loved it! Inside is super small and no place to sit. It's order to go basically. My friend ordered the mango mochi drink and an orange jasmine tea. Also got the egg bite on the side and that was the best egg bite I've had! Definitely will be back!

    So refreshing

    Always a great decision for fresh made drinks with fruit. Quick service and a relaxed vibe. There's is even a manifest tree available for you to put your wishes and dreams on. I've been a few times and my manifesting has come to fruition. I'll be back soon.

    Mango Mochi (UberEats had BOGO deal)
    Samantha D.

    I've never tried BenGong's Tea before but because I was already ordering from UberEats nearby I added a BOGO Mango Mochi deal to my delivery. For 2 Mango Mochis, it was $11 total which isn't bad! The drink consisted of cubed mango, mochi, blended coconut cream puree, topped with whipped cream. The mochi was super sticky but luckily it didn't jam the straw. Overall it was decent, and I appreciated that they taped the top so it wouldn't spill during transit.

    After walking around this massive mall La Jolla San Diego, I was thirsty and came across Ben gong tea, I got the jasmine tea with orange. The tea is strong bold flavor, which I asked for, ( less sugar). Service is quick, wait time is not too bad. Check out this store, while browsing the Mall.

    Burnt Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea

    I tried this for the first time and got the Burnt Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. It was really good. I would come back and try other teas!

    The wish tree
    Joe B.

    Be gong tea was my lunch for my whole month of minimally invasive surgery rotation at UTC. I have a fave the burnt sugar boba tea, one of those would be my meal and I can say it was one of the good parts of that surgery rotation. The ambiance is nice, I like the decor and the wish tree they have at the location. Service was always fast, efficient and amicable, I definitely recommend going !!!

    Peach Oolong Milk Tea
    Catherine Z.

    Got the peach oolong milk tea, and it came with crystal boba and barley and a cream cheese top. The drink was absolutely delicious, and reminded me of the milk teas in China. The drink was also reasonably priced at around $6-7 for a pretty decently big cup. The interior was also adorable with a tree you can decorate with your wishes and a handmade press on nail shop you can browse. Will definitely return to try the other unique drinks on the menu and add a wish to the tree!!

    Regular Mango Pomelo Sago
    Tammie W.

    I love BenGong's Tea and especially love the mango sago which is my go to. It comes in one size and the sweetness can't be adjusted but it's perfect just the way it is. Not bitter, sweet enough, has a nice texture from the sago, and is creamy. The shop itself is very clean, they have a good menu that can be customized to your liking if you want a slush without cheese foam or to mix flavors. The service is always quick and friendly and the prices are in line with what you'd expect to pay in the UTC area.

    Carl M.

    One of a few Chinese boba place! Love how subtle the taste in almost all of the drinks I tried, nothing excessive just the right amount of flavor! Service is quick and the place is clean!

    Stella Z.

    Got their mango sago drink and it's super good. They also got egg tarts there. It was surprisingly pretty good. They also have really good fruit teas there.

    Long line and watery drink. Mango pomelo sago was mostly coconut milk. Skip this place and go to WSL.

    Are the milk teas made with nondairy creamer or regular dairy milk?

    Hello Helen, we don’t use nondairy creamer here, we only use regular dairy milk to make our milk teas, but fir some of the drinks, you can substitute to oat milk, almond milk or lactose free milk.

    Does this place take cash?

    I’m Sorry, We don’t take Cash, only Credit cards / debit cards/ contactless payment options available right now. Thank you for you understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.

The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.

In a plaza that appeared to be slow or dead leaving lots of space. I parked almost in front - just off to the side. Walk in and it's order at a kiosk. I get automation as it's something I do, I've done and will do as times change. However, I had questions and ended up just ordering something else as there was no human interaction to answer me. Place is deceivingly small - there are a bunch of seating - I wouldn't go in with a large group but definitely places to sit, chat or work on your laptop (saw several students? hammering away on their laptop keyboard). Not sure, but maybe they also offer WIFI.? Drinks seems watered down in my opinion. And I've ordered the same drinks at other locations and either the ingredients were off or it was prepared differently that didn't quite align to my expectations and taste. However, place was busy so maybe it's just how it's served as business was steady and I saw a few order the same as what I got. Don't live in the area so highly unlikely that there will be a return visit.
