    Yuzu jasmine with grape jelly
    Ariel D.

    An unsuspecting spot in an inner corner unit of the Yes Plaza in Roland heights. Inside is pretty surprisingly standard, I sort of thought a Taiwanese shop in this strip mall would have a more cute aesthetic. We ordered at one of the two tablet kiosks to the right upon entrance. You can customize the spice level for food and ice and sweetness levels for drinks. The fried tofu and chicken took a bit, but was well worth it. Medium spice was not spicy at all, which might be a disappointment if that's what you're looking for, but the flavor is not lacking at all. It came with their natural fermented yogurt as a dipping sauce on the side, which was rich and tasted like coconut cream. Our yuzu jasmine with grape jelly was so good. Adjusting the sweetness level to 75% was perfect for us. We didn't mix out drink and ended up having more of a grape flavor at the top that slowly turned more yuzu towards the bottom, a delicious and refreshing drink for a hot summer day.

    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!

    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!
    Iman A.

    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.

    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!

    Francis N.

    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.

    Lynn L.

    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.

    Came here on Tuesday night around 10pm craving brown sugar boba. Not too many things open around…read morethe area that caught my eye. I came here not knowing what to expect but was definitely satisfied with my drink! I got the roasted oolong milk tea with their brown sugar boba. I loved the authentic, rich milk tea taste and the consistency/ flavor of their boba. I would say this is on par with Mollytea, Chicha san chen, and places similar to that. However, what stood out to me was the lightness of the drink compared to other places that leave me feeling bloated/full. I also love their ambience! Lots of seats and the smell of herbal tea. They're opened super late too so definitely worth a try. Would definitely come back again!

The interior is really beige and feels very comforting if you're sitting and talking with friends while enjoying the drink. There was only one party in front of us so everything was relatively quick.

Nothing overpowered each other! Rock Oolong Milk Tea w/ Boba (7.2/10): This drink came with a lot of boba. I definitely think this drink was on the sweeter side when it comes to milk teas. The boba was really chewy and soft but the brown sugar that it came with overpowered the drink and it mainly tasted like brown sugar with a side of milk tea.

    Matcha lovers, this one is worth the stop…read more I visited Chayan not too long after they opened, and this was such a good find in Rowland Heights. First of all, the space itself is beautiful. The traditional Chinese-inspired aesthetic gives the shop such an elegant, calm atmosphere. It isn't overly flashy or trying too hard to be trendy--it just feels peaceful and thoughtfully put together. Definitely the kind of place where you can slow down and actually enjoy your tea. But let's talk about the reason I came here: the Matcha Green Tea Frappe. SO. GOOD. What immediately stood out to me was that this didn't taste like one of those drinks where the actual matcha gets completely buried underneath sugar. You can genuinely taste the matcha and the quality of the tea. It has that distinct matcha flavor while still being creamy and enjoyable. And the topping?! Instead of just throwing regular whipped cream on it, they top it with whipped matcha and roasted peanuts, which gives it this really interesting combination of creamy, earthy, nutty flavors. The peanuts add a little texture and complement the matcha surprisingly well. It tasted intentional rather than just sweet for the sake of being sweet. That's probably my biggest recommendation before coming here: if you're looking for an extremely sugary, dessert-style matcha, this may not be what you're looking for. This is much more about actually tasting the tea. If you want something loaded with sugar where the matcha disappears somewhere in the background... Starbucks is right there. But if you appreciate a more balanced drink where you can actually taste good-quality matcha, I absolutely recommend giving Chayan a try. Beautiful atmosphere, quality tea, unique flavors, and an overall really relaxing experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

There's seating indoors with the ordering kiosks. Unfortunately, the tea flavor wasn't very strong and it was more milky. Not too sweet even at the Recommended levels so that's good. Black Tea Cold Brew: not strong enough and just tasted generic. Da-Hong-Pao Tea Frappe: very milky with a hint of a nutty black tea. The cream and crunchies on top were a nice addition. Osmanthus & Lychee Lemon Tea: very refreshing and sweeter than the other drinks. I'd definitely recommend it. With so many boba places in the area, especially with ChaHalo down the street, it might be difficult to succeed.

    I've probably been here a couple times but never took the time to write any review simply because…read moreeverything about this place is good enough and i thought they already had a decent amount of review they don't really need mine. But last Tuesday this little tea shop exceeded my expectation so here goes my essay. So normally I'd order the toasted brown sugar boba milk because it's insanely delicious, but at the time they ran out of boba. I was kind of sad but I ordered something else anyway. When I picked up my order, Sam (the sweet girl who works there) gave me a little cup of brown sugar milk with crystal boba as extra. She didn't have to do that but she did and that really made my day. It's been a week and I still think about her. I hope her pillows are cold both side and her daily commute are full of green light with no traffic. Ok end of story . Here's my rating for the items my friend and I ordered: - Fresh taro puree milk: 8/10 has a generous amount of taro and sea salt cream. Straight up so creamy and filling I couldn't finish, I had to put it in the fridge. And it still tastes good the next day. - Dragonfruit Aiyu: 9/10 surprisingly refreshing! Not only the drink looks pretty but the taste is also delicious. Great for anyone wanting a light option with sea salt cream. I live in the area and will definitely come back for this drink. The store workers are attentive and super friendly, especially Sam. They also make our order very fast. Overall, a solid choice for boba!

My partner's drink was probably close to 40% boba, which was a little much for our taste. Just know this is strictly a grab-and-go kind of place. There aren't any indoor tables, although plenty of people were hanging out with their drinks outside. Likely would come back to try their other drinks!

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.
