    Cha-La-Thai (Original Thai Milk Tea)/
    Juliet T.

    Cha La One is located inside one of the ghost kitchens in Sunnyvale. I ordered via DoorDash for pickup, and my order came out fairly quickly. Parking is a bit tight, but not impossible. Since there was a grand opening BOGO promotion, I got two Original Thai Teas- one at 100% sweetness and the other at 75%. The drink itself is pretty standard, but honestly tastes like it's made with instant Thai tea powder. I was hoping it would be prepared traditionally (like freshly brewed Thai tea), especially since their Instagram states that they offer authentic Thai tea. For the price point (~$8-9), I wouldn't come back.

    I got the Cha-La-Coco (Thai Coconut Milk Tea) and it really confused me because it tasted like a watery thai tea with soy milk, not coconut milk. I would not get it again, especially at its price point. I would come back for the desserts, but the 3 stars is just based on this drink.

    Thai Pandan Whisper (Thai Pandan Milk Tea)/

    As someone who likes to support small business, I always like trying something new. I have a huge sweettooth and enjoyed what I tried at cha la one. Thai tea pandan whisper tasted nice and fresh. The pandan flavor was subtle. I'm Filipino and want to gatekeep things like buko pandan, but this pandan Thai tea was really good to me. Just a reminder, you have to mix it all up and stir before drinking, otherwise you won't taste the blend of flavors. The crème brûlée itself was nice and soft. I just wish I had more of it! I ordered two crème brûlées: the Thai tea and coconut flavors. Definitely a fan of the sweet balance here. Sure, price point is the Bay Area price, but businesses need to survive and make some profit. I will definitely support them since it's close to me.

    TLDR; a bit of a wait, pricey, but definitely delicious and authentic Thai tea that will have you wanting more. I actually came across this business on Instagram and decided to give it a try. I always prefer ordering ahead of time for any restaurant/shop because I'd rather have my order ready by the time I get there so I can immediately dip. I tried using the online ordering platform for Cha La One, but they weren't accepting online orders, so I had no choice but to order in person. I was confused when I arrived at the address and I didn't know if I was at the right place. Turns out there isn't a storefront per se, but Cha La One is located inside a "food hub". The facility is a place with commercial kitchens, where some businesses probably operate as ghost kitchens for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates, etc. But lo and behold, I spotted the "Cha La One" and "AUTHENTIC THAI TEA" sign displayed through the window on the second floor! I just had to figure out how to get up there and order somehow... So... you can't go up there lol. The waiting area on the floor level was kind of small. A bunch of people were going in with QR codes ready to scan and leaving with their food orders. I'm guessing they were doing food deliveries. There was one worker standing behind a counter, but she wasn't there to take orders. Instead, there's a kiosk with a bunch of restaurants within that food hub listed on the screen. I found Cha La One and ordering was easy enough. The 3 drinks I got: Pandan Whisper (Thai Pandan Milk Tea) - This had a perfect balance of pandan and Thai tea. This drink had me saying, "damn. this is really good" after every sip. 5/5 Choco Charm (Thai Choco Milk Tea) - This kinda reminded me of Nesquik, but my friend thought it tasted more like Milo. It was good, but the cocoa powder wasn't mixed very well because I felt grainy bits in my throat, which wasn't a pleasant feeling and caught me off guard. 4/5 Bottle Green Serene (Thai Milk Green Tea) - Saved this for the next day. Very floral, but a bit on the sweeter side (ordered 100% sweet, no ice). If ordering bottled drinks, I'd recommend getting the tea less sweet or dilute to taste with water/melted ice. Super delicious otherwise! 5/5 To wrap things up, I was a little annoyed/cranky about the wait time because I got there right when they supposedly opened. The estimated wait time was 3-10 minutes, but I didn't get my order from the worker behind the counter until 15-20 minutes after ordering (and this is exactly why I prefer to order ahead of time). The price was also kind of high (subjectively); $30 for 3 drinks. HOWEVER! I'm not going to lie, those drinks all tasted amazing. The condensed milk really comes through. I usually babysit my drinks for hours to the point where the ice melts, but I finished my tea so fast that I still had huge ice cubes left. Overall, the teas were hellllllaaaa yummy and I would probably get it again, but maybe not frequently. If it weren't for the cost, I could see myself drinking this everyday.

    Thai tea and Thai coffee

    As all the other reviews, say, this location is located in a ghost kitchen. Parking is not too hard to find when it's not crazy busy with delivery drivers waiting for their orders. I ordered via the kiosk, and it wasn't too bad. I waited roughly 15 to 20 minutes for my or drinks to be ready. I went during their buy one get one free promo for grand opening, so I decided to try their Thai iced tea and Thai coffee, each with 100% sweetness and 75% sweetness just to compare because I don't usually like it too sweet it says on the menu that 100% is the authentic Thai flavor, and I would say that that's correct. The 75% is a little bit bland and I think it's partially my fault because I didn't drink it until I got home, so the ice probably melted and diluted the tea, but I felt like the tea was a little bit lacking in flavor. Even the coffee didn't feel too strong compared to other Thai coffees I've had. I think I would still be willing to give them another shot because it still tasted good, but I would definitely go with their recommendation of 100% sweetness.

    Cha-La-Coco (Thai Coconut Milk Tea)/
    Misha S.

    Tasted very milky, the Thai tea flavor was very weak. The coconut milk added a nice creamy richness, but it was too expensive and the flavor was not there. Very disappointing, I do not recommend.

    Ordered the first time and it was quite bland, they offered me another drink , it was better , be sure to get the extra tea shot which is included. The Thai tea brle was delish also

    I saw an ad for a soft opening BOGO deal, so I gave it a try. If you're taking your drink to go, be prepared: the lid is terrible and don't seal. Half of my drink spilled while I was driving. Most importantly, the thai milk tea wasn't good--it was very watery. Even if it cost only $3, I still wouldn't buy it. Would not recommend."

    I went on the grand opening day when they offered BOGO. I ordered a classic and a legendary strength Thai tea (100% sweetness) to see which one I like more. Both turned out very tasty but I think the classic strength is enough for me. I stirred it before I drank and it was perfect. But if you like a thicker and more concentrated feel, the legendary strength is good.

    I had ordered my dad's birthday cake from here back in 2024 (salted yolk/pork sung/matcha mix…read morecake), and it was absolutely delicious! This time I decided to stop by here after dinner, my first time sitting down here and ordering. The inside is very clean, modern, and Pinterest-like. They added more decorations and seating from 2 years ago, making the inside more aesthetic. whaT's More always has unique Asian flavors, like durian, earl grey, pandan, red bean, and oolong. The cakes are not too sweet, so definitely Asian parent approved haha! Unfortunately, when we came around 6:30pm, they were sold out of most flavors - so would definitely recommend coming earlier or just ordering online earlier in the morning for pickup. We got the sesame dark chocolate crepe cake. When you eat in the store, the owner provides you with free cups of tea, which are really great for washing down the cake. The chocolate was super rich, and they did not skimp out on the flavor - super chocolatey. The sesame added such a fun earthy and nutty flavor - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cake is on the slightly denser side, so was super filling. While on the pricier side, the flavors are super unique and the craft that goes into crepe cakes is commendable. I will be ordering my next cake from here again!

    After randomly browsing Yelp and found this place, we happened to be nearby and I decided on an…read moreimpromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon. The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

We ended up going again the next day to try it. We ordered the Premium Strawberry Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. The bingsoo was delicious and not too sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and a big cheesecake wedge. It's especially great for a hot summer day. The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back!

We got the red bean and the strawberry flavors - the portions were very large for a bay-area reasonable price of less than $15 item. It was my first visit and honestly, I was a bit disappointed; while there were lots of fresh fruits, I found the flavor bland and not sweet enough - which may be someone's jam? I wished it had more condensed milk to give it a more creamy flavor. The shaved ice was beautiful and fluffy - i'd say this is the main draw that may bring me back to try new flavors. There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.

The shop has a bright, clean interior with a casual atmosphere that makes it an easy place to stop for a refreshing dessert. Seeing stacks of fresh mangoes behind the counter immediately gave me confidence that the fruit would be one of the highlights of the experience. The mango desserts were easily the best part of my visit. I tried the Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which combined sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago, and fresh pomelo for a refreshing balance of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed the Mango Chewy Ball, where the fresh mango and smooth mango juice paired perfectly with the soft, chewy rice balls. Both desserts felt light while still being satisfying, making them a great option on a warm day. I also had the chance to try a few of the other menu items. The mango mochi was fresh and soft, with ripe mango wrapped inside a delicate chewy layer. For something different, the spicy chili fish balls offered a savory contrast to the fruit desserts, adding a bit of heat and a springy texture that balanced out all of the sweetness. The ordering process was quick and straightforward, and my food arrived not long after I found a table. The dining area was clean and comfortable, and small touches like providing wet wipes made the experience feel a little more thoughtful. It is the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick dessert or stay a little longer while sharing a few different items with friends. Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a great spot for anyone looking for fresh, fruit-forward desserts with authentic Hong Kong flavors. The quality of the mangoes, the variety of textures, and the relaxed atmosphere made it a place I would happily return to whenever I was craving something refreshing.
