    My daughters wanted to have popcorn chicken and takoyaki before going to the movies, so we went to the Boba Ave 8090 at the Yes Plaza on Colima and Fullerton in Rowland Heights. The interior was spacious, and they had snacks and bakery goods (Duke Bakery pastries) available to buy. We ordered from the kiosk ourselves and chose popcorn chicken ($7.95), takoyaki ($6.95), and a Brulee milk tea (approximately $6.45, which we upgraded to a large size). The popcorn chicken - they were very flavorful, maybe a bit salty, but they were crunchy, and we liked the dipping sauce. (8/10) Takoyaki was mediocre (average) (7/10). We've had better Takoyaki. Brulee milk tea - the portion size was huge for a large size, and the flavor of the milk tea was not bad. However, their boba was hard and overly dense. (4/10) They took a while to make the food and the drinks. The food and drink were mediocre, so I gave 3 stars.

    1/10 Cheese Uji Matcha Tea Latte - LORD HAVE MERCY. This is the sweetest freaking drink I have ever had. This is the same drink I had from the Arcadia location but it tastes nothing like it. Don't get me wrong, if anyone loves a sweet drink it will be me but this drink tasted like they dumped a pound of sugar in it! Ew.. 4/10 Boba - These bobas are like half the size of normal sized bobas. They're also a bit dense from the jump. Also, they barely gave me any boba! Definitely not enough boba for this sized drink! 9/10 Popcorn Chicken - These were bomb asf. I especially love the portion size! 10/10 Fries - This was truly the only saving grace from this whole experience. Fries were freaking FIRE. Perfectly fried, crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. 4/10 Service - Oh man do I have a mouth full to say about this place. First of all, the drink was literally undrinkable.. I informed the lady who handed me the drink and told her it is WAYY too sweet and if she can adjust it to less sweet. She clearly seemed annoyed that she had to remake the drink. I said thank you like 3x and no you're welcome or sorry or anything. 9/10 Cost - $6.79 Cheese Uji Matcha Tea Latte, with boba, and with tax

    Brulee Milk Tea

    3.5 stars for this place. The pros: 1) It's open late and 2) The brulee milk tea was delicious. The cons: 1) The tables weren't wiped down, 2) It took a long time to get our drinks, and 3) There are no hot drink offerings on the menu. They do offer snacks and baked goods if you want a bit of food. Like many bubble tea places now, you order on a screen and wait for your drink to be made. There are limited tables inside, but people were hanging out outside as well. Parking can be tough as that plaza is super busy.

    If you don't take a photo of the adorable Yes Plaza from the outside, you're being silly. It's so cute and there are some tables outside if you want to sit in the desert sun. Boba Ave 8090 has three locations around LA but this has to be the most adorable. Drinks took quite some time, but such is life at boba shops. I like that you can order everything on the touchscreen, then when it's ready they send a text. The tea here is great! And I love when tea shops have little plugs for their straw holes, that sounds kinda weird but check out the pic if you don't know what I mean. :) My friend and I both were really happy with our drinks. Sounds like I need to try the popcorn chicken the next time I'm in!

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Their kiosk broke and charged me twice. No matter what I told the cashier he did not care. He kept saying that my transactions are "pending" but they literally took my money twice. Horrible customer service, I should've at least received my money back. Scammers.

    Taro smoothie is the bomb and their boba is soft. You can either order via kiosk or pay in the cashier. Prices are reasonable and place is clean and their restroom is clean as well. Fast service.

    Look how big the serving is - worth the $6.95!

    Okay wow, this place is legit! I went mini golfing over the weekend and was craving for a snack afterwards. I opted for popcorn chicken and after reading multiple reviews about this place, I decided to give it a try. Let me just say $6.95 for a huge serving of popcorn chicken is a deal you can't miss. Not only was the serving large but the flavor was on point too. I only took one star off because they did not have sweet chili sauce but rather a white cream sauce (I thought it was whipped cream but I'm actually not sure). I ended up walking over to Tastea to buy the chili sauce and it paired much better. I already want another cup!

    I got a Watermelon Tea with 25% sugar added in and it was perfect and refreshing. The service is quick and you can order easily at their kiosks. Its clean and modern inside.

    Cindy N.

    Finally visited again and they bought back the cups!(: The price for the popcorn chicken is now $7.95 but still the best deal in the area for the amount they give you. Service is the same, friendly but can be slow when busy. I usually get my order 20-30 mins. Could be because they're understaffed i don't know but I don't mind waiting since I usually come to stay a while and study. Thank you~

    Yummy boba drinks: winter melon with grass jelly, strawberry yogurt
    Quin V.

    Such a cool boba spot in Rowland Heights! I've never seen a place like this before. When you get to the front of the boba shop, it feels like a different state, like New York with the setup of the windows and sign. Love it! The drinks were solid. I got 100% sweet and it was perfect. :) Still subtle sweetness and I love me some grass jelly. It's easier to chew for me, compared to having boba. Popcorn chicken had a kick of spice and good crunch. You order your food at the kiosk and the server calls out your number. Courteous and helpful staff here. Would definitely come back!

    ORDER popcorn chicken (4/5) the popcorn chicken here is a steal for only $7.62 after tax! the downside is they only have their house made sauce, which is sweet and creamy. i wish they had sweet chili sauce or other options. the mild here has a little kick to it. the chicken itself is cut into at least 1 inch pieces and the breading isn't too thick. SERVICE i always order on the kiosk so the ordering process is quick and easy. they get the orders out very efficiently too. AMBIANCE spacious inside with plenty of seating.

    Jasmine cheese tea
    Mirrella B.

    I stopped by this boba shop to get a drink before picking up lunch at Honu. They have 2 order kiosks where you place an order and pay. They have several tables where you're able to enjoy your drinks and snacks as well as the outside tables shared with the other buisnesses. I saw that they had takoyaki and was curious. So I ordered takoyaki and a cheese jasmine green tea. The shop was pretty busy but it took less than 10 minutes to get the takoyaki and drink. The takoyaki was so good! It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It reminded me of takoyaki from Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. The tea was good. The cheese foam was light and not too sweet. Customer service was brief and friendly. I will definitely be returning to get my takoyaki craving satisfied.

    Popcorn chicken mild
    Monica R.

    Stopped by after grabbing a match latte next door. They employee was really nice and welcoming. I ordered just an order of popcorn chicken and it took about 10 mins to be ready. I ordered mild and it still had a nice kick to it. It also had a sweet after taste. The dipping sauce we were given was kinda strange, it was almost like a sweat cream dip. The chicken could was perfectly cooked. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

My total wait time from order to actually receiving the order is 60 minutes. Drink was extremely delicious but not the wait. And the disorganization. From the very beginning I waited in the store I told them to put two orders together and gave them the two numbers. They put the order next to each other and by the time the number is "ready for pick-up" on the screen, we went to ask them and my drink still wasn't ready. They can't even find my ticket and had to asked me to wait another 5 minutes. After waiting for 5 more minutes, it was shift change and it was someone else calling out the number and I have to ask them again because my drink is now just sitting there on the counter.

    I had a lovely experience at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights). I ordered the Iron Goddess Milk…read moreTea ($6.75 - Large - 100% Sweetness). It's toasty oolong tea with hints of honey & caramel. TASTY! With each sip, I felt my stress and worries fade away. I smiled happily. (Important: Bring Cash. With Card, there's a 35 cents additional charge for orders under $15.) I arrived at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) on Friday (around 11:45AM). There's a competitive, busy parking lot. Fortunately, I quickly found parking. Staff is professional and polite. Staff gave good recommendations, and Staff answered all my questions. The drink took about five minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Iron Goddess Milk Tea ($6.75 - Large - 100% Sweetness). The crisp tea taste is pronounced and brewed perfectly (not burnt). Its gentle sweetness soothes the throat, and the flavor of honey and caramel flutters about. It's DELICIOUS! On ambiance, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) is aged, worn-down but well-maintained. The location is a little small; there's about four tables. Fortunately, it feels well-ventilated and airy. In addition, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) also has PLENTY of utility. This spot has 34 electrical outlets!!! WOW! These outlets easily blend with the wall. There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for details. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Overall, I found unexpected happiness at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights). The tea is one of the best! If you love tea, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.9 out of 5!

    I saw that reviews for popcorn chicken here were mostly good, so I wanted to try it out for myself…read more My order included a monk's blend ($6) with 30% sweetness and popcorn chicken ($9.65). The monk's blend was an iced Ceylon black tea with a touch of vanilla and grenadine. Although this drink is a signature menu item, I didn't really enjoy the citrusy and plum-like tartness. Most of the popcorn chicken pieces had a crispy texture, whereas others were a tad soggy. With medium spice, the chicken was very flavorful. The popcorn chicken came in an oyster pail that looked a little small, but the portion size still seemed adequate for the price. I ended up drinking the tea first before eating the chicken because the flavors did not leave a complementary aftertaste. Also, I got my tea first, but the staff forgot to give me the popcorn chicken even though they said that it's on the way. I had to follow up after waiting several minutes. One staff member was apologetic and explained that she thought my order was complete once I got my tea. The wait was unfortunately long because of the miscommunication.

I ordered it using their kiosk and I received a text saying that my order was confirmed and I saw my # on their screen. I was wandering around the plaza while waiting for my order and after 30 or so minutes I still didn't get my # called or even receive a text that my drink was ready. BUT I did see people who placed their orders AFTER me got their drinks IMMEDIATELY. So I went up to the front register and asked them about my drink and the staff said that he or she forgot to "notify" me.... Second, I witnessed a group being treated kind of rudely by one of the staff. Nothing physical happened (thank goodness), but I overheard the customers asking about the shop's snacks. They wanted to know more about the flavors of the snacks and the wait time. One of the staff members clearly responded with an annoyed attitude, and that actually ticks me off because that is not how you talk to someone, customer or not. Yes, customers can ask very interesting and repetitive questions, but I think as an employee who works as a cashier or customer service, you should still show patience and be friendly to customers. Now, the drinks themselves - I thought they were a little mediocre. I definitely had better drinks elsewhere. I had the traditional milk tea with boba, and I did not like it at all. The boba pearls were excessively sweet. The milk tea was still sweet even at 50%. It was also quite watery; it was not creamy at all. I can taste the tea but just slightly. The fruit tea I ordered was alright, from what I was told. I would come back here again just to order their fruit tea.

I ordered the Taro Mochi milk tea and customized it to 25% sweetness. I generally don't like my drinks too sweet, but I wasn't sure if choosing 0% sweetness would affect the taro flavor. Thankfully, 25% ended up being perfect. This was easily one of the best taro milk teas I've had from any boba shop. The taro paste really allows the taro flavor to shine independently from the milk tea itself. A common issue I find at other places is that the taro flavor is either too weak or the drink ends up overwhelmingly sweet. Cha Redefined strikes a really nice balance between the two. The mochi is also one of my favorite drink toppings, so I appreciated that they already offer a taro milk tea option that includes it. It paired perfectly with the drink and added a great texture. The shop itself has plenty of seating and a relaxed, chill atmosphere that's great for hanging out or studying. While we didn't have much interaction with the staff, our drinks came out surprisingly fast, especially considering how busy many boba shops can get in the evening. Overall, I was really impressed by both the quality of the drink and the atmosphere. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a taro milk tea.
