    A very cool lounge! Service is pretty fast here for both boba and hookah. They have a good selection of flavors.

    Boba Almond Milk Tea :)

    Solid late night drink :) My lil bro and I went here cause everything is closed after 11pm and we're craving boba. Surprisingly this place is still open. My bro and I were being cautious cause the ambiance looks like a Walking Dead episode at night and no one is around. We just went to this alley looking sliding door to order.. like something in a horror movie haha. We ordered in a kiosk and we didn't see our server til he handed our drink.. it's damn sketch but thrilling to say the least lol My bro and I ordered their regular boba milk tea in a cute bear container. Alright we're sold cause the boba is quite good. One of the best experiences that we had in a boba joint! Overall, hell yea I would go here again especially around 11pm.. shit is cool :)

    Great shisha place, and they also sell amazing boba. I love getting Thai tea here; it's perfectly sweetened. This was my first time visiting the Rowland Heights location. I usually go to the one in Koreatown, but this location is great too. It's spacious and has plenty of free parking, unlike the Koreatown location, which is valet only. The staff here are very friendly.

    Thai Tea and Passionfruit Green Tea

    I only came here for the boba after seeing the cute bear shaped cups that they came in. I didn't go into the hookah bar section so I can't provide any review on it, but based on the drinks alone, it was a little disappointing. The Thai tea was overly sweet and lacking the distinct Thai tea flavor, and the boba was a little hard. My friend got the passionfruit green tea and it was better and the right amount of sweetness. Even though the drinks weren't the greatest, at least I got a cute plastic cup out of it! It's located in a quiet alley of a plaza, so it can be a little hard to find. Service was quick and our drinks came out fast, and there was even a claw machine in the store that we played with while we waited for our drinks.

    This boba spot is a little hidden from the road because of a large white tent covering the name of the spot. If it weren't for previous photos, I wouldn't know where to find it. What I liked about this place is that if you want to enjoy the bar area, there's an entrance to the right that will lead you to a seating area. I wanted to do a quick boba order so I made my way to the left where there was a kiosk for me to make my order. The order process was easy and there were a lot of options. I ordered the strawberry milk tea and it was very good. The milk tea was creamy and had all the flavor but wasn't too sweet. I didn't really speak to anyone until I got my order, so I can't really speak on service. The boba was made pretty quickly though so I was happy about that. This is also next to a restaurant that had an off-putting smell. Other than that, and with how difficult it might be to find, it was a good overall spot.

    Honestly not an ideal place, especially with the other options in the area. I went with a friend and the entirely experience was a bit eerie from the start. The place is located in what looks like a hidden back alley, with no open signs or indicators of business taking place here. After entering through a sliding door, we waited until a worker popped out like we were in a movie, and we ordered. While waiting we wanted to check out the place, and I think this is where I felt the most unease. They have a back room for hookah, and while checking it out, the worker, who was alone, walked up to us in the middle of making our drinks and asked us to leave since we weren't smoking. It was a really weird experience with a really interesting man. It felt like we were in a business acting as a front to be honest, which might not be the case, but the overall experience was really weird. Anyways, we got our drinks and they weren't good at all. The honeydew slush didn't taste like honeydew and the mango tasted more like papaya. Not a good time at all, and I felt a huge sense of relief leaving.

    too good to go 4 drinks with boba
    Angelo M.

    Starting with the positive first, the drinks made were decent. I used too good to go app to get 2 drinks at a discounted price. They literally made it while i was there so its not quite in the spirit of too good to go but rather simply discounted prices on drinks the house chooses to make. Technically customer service was good once I got the worked to come out. However, when i first stepped in, i thought that maybe the business was no longer running. I stepped in and it was completely quiet. The big tablet with payment system, the lights, claw machine, and really amything that would indicate its still a functioning business was off. I rang the bell a couppe of times and called out to no reaponse for quite some time. Just as i was about to ask for a refund on too good to go and report the business defunct, I hear someone in the back say something. It took maybe a other minute for the guy to come out and it seemed like they had a bad foot or something. The whole store in general seemed like an abnadoned store and a little unkept. Anyway, overall the cups are cute, customer service was good, and drinks/boba were maybe average or a little bit above.

    My friends and I had a good time here. The server was friendly and attentive. The prices were decent. There was enough seating for groups. The vape was just $5 so good for the time there as it wasn't strong and probably will not last long. The yogurt soju wasn't strong but it was kind of a creeper. They also have happy hour for $3 beers late night so we also got some beer. This is a great place to hang out with friends. We played games while we drank, vaped, and smoked hookah. Overall cost for 4 people was under $100 without tip. However, there is a surcharge for whatever reason... There isn't too much variety with the games, but it's free!

    Didn't have the bear cups when I visited but the drink was still very good. Had the Watermelon slushie. Not too sweet so it was very refreshing. Open late so that's a plus.

    Came by because they were on too good to go. Listing stated "fresh fruit" drinks with decent ratings on both apps so I figured I would come by and give them a try. While the containers are cutely themed, milk tea and Thai tea are not the fresh fruit drinks advertised that I was expecting. Response from the staff is that it's whatever is left at end of day which makes sense. But tell me you're going to tell management to correct it and offer some sort of fix for my experience. Maybe their other stuff tastes better but these were subpar. The boba included with the milk tea was also subpar. I have better tasting instant stuff with boba for cheaper at home. The entrance into their inside seating was pretty cool with a faux elevator. Thought that was a nice touch.

    Passion fruit tea and Thai tea - perfect sweetness
    Channary V.

    Sometimes I just need some cuteness in my boba drinks and I don't care if the tea actually has boba or other toppings or not. Boba Bear is a small hidden gem for cute bottle boba! Good price that cines with a bear shape bottle and delicious tea. There's no seats inside, so it's more a pick up and go shop.

One thing I wasn't a fan of was not being able to sample the beers before committing to a full pour. At a brewery, especially one you're visiting for the first time, I think being able to taste a beer before ordering is part of the experience. I also noticed some subtle political messaging around the brewery. Regardless of which side it leans toward, I personally prefer breweries to be a place to relax, have a beer, and get away from politics for a while. Beer and politics just don't mix for me. Not a bad brewery by any means--the beer was above average--but the overall experience didn't give me much reason to go out of my way to return.

As unlucky as we were, the staff did check often on the waitlist to accompany down the list. Upon walking in, seating is super limited and only a few booths to the right as well as one large table for a big party were the only seating I saw. Ordering is through a tablet, so service is limited. We tried lemon soju, soy chicken wings, and some tater tots. It was filling for a table for two. The Jinro lemon flavor soju was a hard pass. I would avoid this flavor as it was so strong and tasted like a cleaner solution. It was not enjoyable as most soju flavors out there. I'd recommended anything else, honestly! The soy garlic chicken was great, super hot and fresh when it came out. It comes with a cabbage salad on the side and we ordered 6 pieces of wings. This is a very casual spot if you want some decent food and drinks at a late night, but absolutely not worth waiting for over an hour.
