I ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago and while it was fine, it was not quite as flavorful as I was hoping, especially compared to similar drinks I have had at other tea shops. I also was not able to adjust the sweetness level, which might have helped elevate it. Service was great. It was quick, friendly, and efficient. The shop itself is cute, though it felt a little cluttered inside. Parking is a big plus and very easy to find. Overall, it was not bad, just not particularly memorable. With several strong tea spots nearby, this one did not stand out enough for me, but I would be open to trying it again to try other drinks. read more

BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. I ordered the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice). When thoroughly mixed, this drink carries a cuddly sweetness. It succeeds with capturing that fresh brûlée flavor. Unfortunately, its boba pearl's texture resembled wet glue. I arrived at BenGong's Tea (Walnut) on Sunday (around 11:44AM). Parking was easy that weekend. The lot is very big. This business is located across Mt. Sac. (aka: Mt. San Antonio College). Staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. There's no self-service kiosk, so Staff (receipt says Merrielle) helps guide the customer with sweetness level and ice level. Merrielle gave wonderful recommendations, and Merrielle worked hard. The drink took three minutes and nine seconds. Good pace! As mentioned, the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) presented immense potential. I genuinely enjoyed its presentation and flavors, however, the boba felt below average. As I continued to chew that boba, my smile slowly vanished. It tasted like mochi dough after a while. Hopefully, the boba improves in the future. Concerning ambiance, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt dusty and unclean. Despite arriving near opening hours, I found old long strands of hairs on its chairs. There's also thick swathes of dust collecting on the windows' crevices. The sofa had old dried stains. And despite its attempt to look modern, the place felt dusty and worn-down with age the longer I lingered. My eyes transfixed on a small fruit fly that lazily crawled along its white wall. All in all, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt like a place that lost its passion. Fortunately, there's still utility at BenGong's Tea (Walnut). There's customer internet with password; the details are posted on the counter. There's also two electrical outlets (but one is somewhat uncomfortable to use). There's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Also, the music is very soft. However, the location is a little cramped. There's about three tables. Overall, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. The Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) carried good flavors. With time, I only hope this location improves. 3.9 out of 5 read more

Came here after eating lunch in the plaza. There are like a million boba shops in the plaza so it's hard to choose where to go. We ordered online to get it faster but it was a decently sized order so it still took some waiting before we got our drinks. The vibes were okay. It's right next to a college so I assume there are quite a bit of students that go there after class. I'm not sure if the store is trying to save money either but it was pretty warm inside. It didn't feel like the ac was on so we waited outside where it was much cooler. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong cloud and it tasted great. There were some bits in there that gave it some texture which I love. It definitely has a unique taste to it which is why I'm more drawn to coming here compared to other places. I've tried their mango sago drink before too and that's probably my favorite. I'd come here again if I were in the area! read more

So I had the biggest craving for some boba milk tea and I decided to place an order via Doordash. I ordered the Tiramisu milk tea and the Matcha Mille Crapes cake. And let me tell you...they were both delicious!!!! That Tiramisu milk tea was to die for! read more

This was one of the worst boba place we've been to. It used to be really good, but has definitely gone downhill. Ordered the Burnt Brulee Boba Milk Tea & Burnt-Brown Sugar Boba Tea. Both drinks tasted really funky and had a weird flavor, like expired milk or so. We ended up tossing them away cuz it made our stomach upset. Service wasn't great either. Felt ignored when we arrive and took a while for our drinks to be made. read more

I ordered a drink a couple of days ago. The drink itself was alright, but the customer service was very disappointing. The guy who took my order walked away in the middle of helping me to talk to his friends, which felt unprofessional. He also got my order wrong. I hope the staff can be better trained in customer service going forward. I definitely will not recommend my friends to go there. read more

This place does not serve what you actually order. I ordered shrimp balls with my oden, but instead received pink, artificially colored leftover balls, falsely labeled as shrimp balls. This is misleading, unacceptable, and deceptive. Customers should be aware that the food does not match the menu description. read more

We're usually big fans of BenGong's, and we ordered our usual: 2 peach oolong milk teas (light ice, half sugar), 1 with 25% sugar, and a fruit green tea. But this time, the peach oolong milk tea had a noticeably sour taste--not the usual smooth and refreshing flavor we're used to. Not sure if it was the tea base or the milk, but it threw us off a bit. The fruit green tea was still nice and fresh, but overall, this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Hoping it was just a one-off, because we've had much better from here before! read more

Went into the store to order a snack since I'd seen the poster out front, but there was no indication of how to order them once inside. When I went in, someone (Worker A) was headed to the back and let someone in the kitchen (Worker B) know that there was a person out front (me). I waited there for about 4 minutes and heard a really loud "I JUST LOST 300$". Worker A came out from the back and reminded Worker B that I was still out front. B came out, I picked out a drink, regular size, since I didn't want a wasted trip. I paid, and as I turned away, I hear B ask A something like, "Dude, do we sell boba?" Mind you, I just paid like 7$ for a boba tea. Obviously these two were joking around, but it left a bad feeling in my chest as I sat to wait for my drink. When I received it, I felt a little shocked. For the price, regular size looks like a small, or even a mini. It was about 5 inches tall. The drink was fine, nothing to write home about. However, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

The aesthetic of this place is reason enough to stop by. The service will convince you to order, cause from the minute you walk in, you are welcome with a smile. The FLAVOR of this Peach Milk Tea will turn you into a fan. I want to say this is one of the best, IF NOT the best one I've had in the entire SGV area. This is by far a fave summer rec of mine. Prices are still reasonable, and the place usually has plenty of parking. Located in a busy school area this is your stop for a quick afternoon boba tea break. read more

Small boba shop located across Mt. SAC. A ton of different drink options, all of which are pretty good. I tried the passion fruit yakult, and while I wouldn't try it again - my friend's tiramisu drink was way better. Staff are friendly, and drinks come out quick. It's a quiet place to hangout and chill with friends. Parking can get kind of atrocious in this plaza. read more

BenGong's Tea - Walnut - Passion Fruit Yakult Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

Come for the wishing tree at BenGong's Tea - Walnut, but don't expect too much from their drinks. My niece and I came here to hang out and chat, and to make wishes. There are a few tables and a sofa to hang out around. Service was pretty unfriendly and we felt rushed even when there was no one behind us. My niece ordered their Passion Fruit Super Fruit Cup ($6.50) 50% sweet and I ordered a Strawberry Yakult Tea ($6.50) 75% sweet. You will have to ask for the wishing paper when you order because they keep it behind the counter. The yarn, scissors and pens are by the tree. The drinks were made pretty slow cause we had time to think about our wishes, write them out, and hang them up before the drinks were done. When we got them it looked so refreshing but it tasted so bad. My niece was saying how her fruit was albino with no color and sadly stale. It took away from the drink and would have been better off with just the tea. Also there was so much fruit, it took up a lot of the volume of the cup. I typically like strawberry yakult drinks from other tea houses but this was bitter and still sweet even though I reduced the sweetness. It was nice to try and I really like their wishing tree... but the drinks are not giving me a reason to come back. read more

~ Not Bad but I prefer the other location ~ You must get the white peach milk tea! It comes with barley but I prefer it without, it's up to you. The service is always fast and I get my drinks less than 5 minutes. BUT I like the Arcadia location better because the taste is more consistent. Inside has 2 tables and a wishing tree where you are able to write your wish and tie it to the tree. read more

I thought the tea here was just decent. I do like how the packaging stands out, but I had a hard time with the menu -- there are lots of options, yet many feel very similar, with only the size or portion of toppings being different. I tried the signature fruit tea, but I could barely taste the tea as it was quite watery. Overall, I think I'll move on to other tea shops. read more

Starting off, I love the amount of options on the menu. My friend and I ordered the strawberry cheese slush and it was good. I also tried the taro milk slush another time and it was delightful. There's comfortable seating here, I love that the chairs are comfortable to sit in and there's plenty of space on the table if you want to sit here and do work. I've been here twice already and the service is friendly, but has been slow both times considering there weren't many people in the store. read more

BENGONG'S TEA is in a shopping center full of eateries across the street from Mt. SAC. Though the center is busy and the free parking lot is too, somehow, you will still be able to find an available parking spot. There was only one party in front of us in the line to order. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy our boba. Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea was yummy. Strawberry Yakult was also very good. We barely filled out a "wish card" and our order was ready. read more

Amazing ambiance service and quality. My favourite boba shop in Irvine by far. I also appreciate the aesthetic.

Expensive. 2 drinks = $16.75. Pistachio milk slush didn't taste that great way. Too sweet even though I requested 50% less sugar. Mango pomelo sago was good but again... too expensive... especially when there are nearby stores giving drink deals. read more

Love der boba tea here very unique taste not so sweet too which is inviting. This one of my favorite place to go with my kids.

First time here today and glad so we found this place. We got 3 drinks 1) burnt milk time with boba 2)passion fruit cup tea 3) sesame milk slush. About $6-7 each. All 3 drinks tasted great. We got 50% sweetness on all 3 drinks and they were perfect. The boba were soft and chewy with the right sweetness as well. I was most impressed by the burnt milk tea. The tea itself had a subtle nutty aroma. It is a nice upgrade to a standard black milk tea. The service was great. Friendly and quick to answer any questions about the drinks. The ambiance is trendy but not over the top. What stands out was an installation of a wishing tree where you and personalized your message on note card and stationary provided. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to try out other drinks on the menu. read more

BenGong's tea is located right across Habits burger and in the plaza directly across Mt SAC. I ordered Mango Pomelo Sago one of their signature drink. Honestly it tastes good texture wise. But the flavor and drink didn't impress me. Service is friendly and you order at counter as I don't see a kiosk. Ambience of store is really simple, clean, and modern. read more

Stopped in after lunch to pickup some boba drinks for my family. This is such a cute boba shop, it is clean, bright and staff was friendly and polite. They have a wide variety of different teas, milk teas and cheese teas. So many different options to choose from. The young lady who took my order helped explained what goes well with what. She was very thorough. I really appreciated that and it was nice she wasn't trying to rush through my orders. The milk teas and strawberry sparking tea I order were very consistent with taste and textures of bobas were nice soft and chewy. They have this cute wishing tree set up in the front you can write down you 2024 wish and hang it on the tree. I thought it was a nice touch given it's the holiday season. Definitely recommend!!! read more

First time ordering from Ben Gong's tea through door dash delivery. It was refreshing and delicious. I ordered Mulberry cheese milk slush and mango pomelo sago. Both are excellent and refreshing. Definitely will order from them again. We also love the way they packaged too. read more

I've been on a craze for mango pomelo sago. There's a place in Las Vegas that's the best at this one, but this place does a pretty decent job too. If you prefer an alternative to boba, try the mango pomelo sago drink. It's sweet, milky, and it has hints of citrus from the pomelo. Perfect drink for a hot day! read more

The popular tea shop from China Ben Gong's tea is finally in Walnut! This chain is pretty popular internationally so it's great to have one locally now! I love that they have oat milk here. I really liked the tea cube milk tea! I got it with no sugar and oat milk. The sweetness from the tea jelly ends up making the drink sweet as well so perfect for those who only like very lightly sweetened drinks. I just wish they could stay open a bit longer past 8! They have a lot of tables and chairs so it's actually a pretty nice hangout spot. read more

this place was a let down and straight up disappointing. their fan favorite passion fruit was a miss. it's basically water and sugar. couldn't taste the tea. would recommend goomoo a couple of stores down. service was pretty awful too. i understand there may be a language barrier but you could ,perhaps, try and convey that the drink is taking some time to prep due to fruits not being chopped and ready for use. smh read more

I've been wanting to try BenGong's for ages, and I'm so glad they opened one so close to me! Passionfruit super fruit cup: it's so refreshing! I love the crunch of the passionfruit fruit seeds, and I could really taste the watermelon and pineapple flavors so well. I ordered the drink in 75% sweetness, and it was perfect for me. Tiramisu milk tea with boba: the boba was super soft and sweetened perfectly. The tea in regular sugar level was perfect. Tea flavors were strong and not diluted. The tiramisu cheese foam is really good. For the drinks we got, I felt that prices were fair. The parking lot was very busy, but we came on a weekend. I would reorder both the passionfruit super fruit and the tiramisu milk tea again. read more

YES!! Finally a BenGong's close by! This is one of my fav spots to get a nice, sweet, unique milk tea from, but I'm always conflicted on the drive there and the fact that Oops is in the same plaza, but now no longer since they have one here. My only real qualms is that there's no online order option like the Arcadia location and the hours are pretty limited here. Here's to hoping that both of those change as time moves on! Like the Arcadia location, they also have a wishing tree here and MY WISH FROM THE OTHER TREE CAME TRUE. So my fingers are crossed that the one I made here will come true as well! I got the: 1) Purple Taro Fresh Milk: -Even with 0% sugar, this drink is naturally sweetened by the purple taro and the fresh milk, so keep that in mind! -They use real taro in this drink and it's a great topping as well as flavor with the milk. Not too chunky and tastes great! If you're a fan of purple taro, I recommend this. 2) Burn Caramel Cheese Milk Tea: -I'm a sucker for crème brulee milk teas and this gives an interesting twist since it combines the crème brulee with that of a cheese milk tea. -Tasty contrast between the sweetness of the caramel and milk tea, with the saltiness of the cheese at the top. Would definitely get this again! The drinks were pretty good as they are and they are also given to you in an aesthetically pleasing paper bag and aesthetically pleasing cups once again. Also it's not really the restaurant's fault, but it would probably do them a huge favor by keeping the front door closed and maybe having an air filter going because just by virtue of the location, they're where a lot of employees from other businesses take smoke breaks so it just entirely smelt like ashy cigs when I was waiting for my drink... read more

BengGon(g) in 60 seconds. Okay, it wasn't that quickly but the two beverages were great and the next thing you know, we were at the bottom of the cup. I ordered the cheese osmathus oolong tea and the strawberry yakult tea. The cheese osmathus had a unique salty taste and was refreshing. I couldn't taste the yakult in the strawberry yakult tea but it was also a delicious relaxing beverage on a lazy afternoon. The decor was welcoming at this location and service was prompt. Plentiful of parking, as well, so long as it is not during the weekday when classes at Mt. Sac across the street is in session. read more

Was very excited when I heard Ben Gong had opened in walnut , as I've tried it before in Asia and absolutely loved their Osmanthus tea cube milk tea. I wanted to try something different and ordered the Dahongbao boba milk tea. I liked how fragrant the tea is but in my opinion its still a bit watered down , I mostly just taste the creamer used . Also, on that day the boba was kinda tough , like they made it in the afternoon and been sitting for awhile . But its kind of expected if you come to boba shops at a later time and its not that busy :) . If I were to come back , I'd definitely go for the tea cube milk tea read more
