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

Tried their crème brûlée mill tea and their grape sparkling tea. Both had the right amount of sweetness and i like how they used real grapes. They put a decent amount in it as well.

Osmanthus Cloud Milk Tea
Felicia K.

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!

Special Boba Milk Tea
Vanna T.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Probably the smallest "Regular" size I've ever received at any tea shop... anywhere.

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.

Passion Fruit Yakult Tea
Ryan G.

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.

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.

Menu

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.

The peach oolong milk tea here is good, subtle peach flavor really enhances the drink, boba is fresh and soft.

Ming Cha in Walnut is definitely one of the most unique drink spots I've tried recently. The cheese…read morefoam is so smooth, creamy, and slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with the tea. Every sip has a rich flavor without being overly sweet. We all loved the matcha and black sesame drinks. The matcha tasted earthy and smooth, while the black sesame had a deep roasted nutty flavor. The ube foam was also super creamy with a light vanilla-like sweetness that made the drink extra special. I really loved the Cheesy Taro drink! The taro flavor was rich, smooth, and creamy with a natural sweetness, and the cheese foam on top made it even better. The slightly salty and creamy foam balanced perfectly with the sweet taro flavor. Such a unique combination and honestly so addictive! Definitely one of my favorite drinks at Ming Cha. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors My kids loved their drinks too, and we already want to come back to try more flavors! If you enjoy boba, milk tea, or creamy foam drinks, this place is definitely worth checking out. Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and lots of creative flavors to choose from! Free Parking!!

I decided to give Ming Cha one more try, hoping my experience would be different, but unfortunately…read moreI still left disappointed. Over time, I've tried most of their drinks, and they all seem to have the same issue--they're very bland and lack the strong tea flavor I was expecting. No particular drink has really stood out to me, and I keep finding myself wishing the flavors were richer and more pronounced. The shop itself is nice, and I know taste is subjective, but after multiple visits and trying a variety of drinks, it just hasn't been a good fit for my preferences.

The location does kiosk ordering and there's about 3 tables inside if you want to enjoy your drinks there. The staff interaction is fairly minimal until it's time to pick up your drinks. They do offer a pitcher of samples to pour for yourself. I ordered the Matcha Coconut Milk Tea and my wife the Da-hong-pao Tea Lemon Tea. The drinks were done fast as we were the only ones at the time. As far the flavors, I was a fan of the Matcha Coconut Milk Tea. It was light and flavorful with balanced sweetness. It must of had a decent amount of caffeine because I was awake for a bit longer. Lol. My wife's lemon tea was also a good selection. Especially, if you don't want any matcha or latte drinks this was a great Tea option. The location is cool and they have info about each of their teas on the wall. The shelves also have the different cup designs to view. Chayan in my opinion is worth a return visit. Try them out for yourself. WiFi password: ilovechayan ( ^_^)b
