    Came here wanting to grab a tea as a refreshment. The inside is very small so the recommendation is to get it to go. The service was fast on the weekend. Would recommend their many assortments of teas. The jasmine was really good.

    Cha Cha Hojicha & Osmanthus Chappuccino
    Mary A.

    I've been to their other locations, and this one is just as good. There's some seating inside, and they also have a big parking lot, though it does fill up fast. You order through a self-service kiosk, which is convenient. We got the osmanthus chappuccino and the cha cha hojicha. Both were really good! Our favorite part was the mochi in the drinks, and the added oats in the cha cha hojicha gave it such a nice texture. They also have a cute free photo booth inside, which adds to the experience. Definitely recommend!

    Birthday treat - you can redeem in store but you will need to link to phone number at kiosk. Do not attempt to ring up with the employee
    Jeremie A.

    What's the point of having a rewards program if the reward can't even be honored? I drove all the way from Orange County to redeem a birthday reward through their Toast rewards app, which provides a $5 off QR code that is supposedly scannable in-store. Unfortunately, none of the employees were able to scan the code and simply told me to try ordering online instead -- except there isn't even an option to order online. It felt like the system was set up to fail, and no one was willing to help troubleshoot or find a workaround. The staff came across as nonchalant and dismissive about the issue. What frustrated me most was that even though they could have taken my order directly, they told me to go back to the kiosk and try again, which required waiting in line behind seven people. After about a 15-minute wait, I finally got back to the kiosk and discovered the reward only applied after entering my phone number -- not by scanning the QR code like the app instructs. I don't place all the blame on the employees -- the app itself is poorly designed and misleading -- but the lack of guidance and customer support in-store made the experience worse. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit, and unfortunately we won't be coming back. **note: the irony in all this was that I showed them the Toast app, which they operate their reward system from and the employees looked at me like they were seeing it for the very first time. If you look down at the register, it literally says "Toast" on it and so does the screen where you enter your number for rewards.

    Cheese Hojicha Jelly Latte - BOGO 1/23 - 1/29
    Lawring W.

    One of the best hojicha lattes I've tried!! Cheese Hojicha Jelly Latte It was creamy and the hojicha flavor was nice and strong. Nice cheese taste from the cheese milk. Doesn't feel oily. Comes with da hong pao tea jelly, which has just the right consistency and texture, not too firm and not too soft. Served with fresh milk. 50% sugar wasn't too sweet. Got it with less ice. Even 75% sugar didn't seem too sweet surprisingly. !! BOGO 1/23-1/29 !! *this promo is only for their hojicha series Highly recommend and would get it again

    Da Hong Pao 25% sugar pearls and coconut milk

    I used to enjoy Cha Redefine, but their quality has definitely dropped compared to before. I ordered the Da Hong Pao with pearls at 25% sugar. The tea itself was actually pretty good, but even at 25% sugar, it was still way too sweet. The main issue was the boba. Some of the pearls were hard in the middle, almost like they were undercooked, while others were overly soft and mushy. The texture was really inconsistent and honestly disappointing, especially for a bubble tea spot. With so many rising boba chains in the 626 now, Cha Redefine just doesn't feel like it's keeping up in terms of quality. The tea quality is still there, but the boba needs a lot more consistency. Drink cost me $8.50

    Came for the lychee series and left with 100 drinks. They menu is so grand and has so many great options. Not only were the tastes fantastic but the staff really helped in choosing what we should get and provided amazing recommendations. The carpenters were playing in the background for music and that's my band.... So I loved how the overall feel of the location made me feel and the drinks were 10/10.

    I ordered the Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte ($7.25 - Large - 75% Sweet - Less Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). To my immense surprise, it's very delicious. The milk carries that crisp, fresh tea flavor. And its Brown Sugar Boba came silky, warm, and supple. It's one of the best boba that I've ever tasted. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Cha Redefine (Rowland Heights) on a Tuesday (around 11:30AM - Opening Time). Parking is available, but it's competitive. Luckily, I found an open spot in its big lot. As I approached Cha Redefine (Rowland Heights), I felt myself frowning at the "B" sign on its window. When I entered, Staff casually glanced upon me before resuming their chatter amongst one another. There's two self-service kiosks, and I felt disappointed how each screen looked sticky and smudgy despite being the first customer of the day. Staff felt youthful and easily distracted. When I'd sit down, Staff were audibly gossiping and laughing about past customers. It felt surreal and unprofessional. Staff did greet me kindly when I made eye contact; however, the direct interaction with Staff felt minimal. My order took two minutes and 11 seconds. Very quick! As mentioned, I genuinely loved the Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte ($7.25 - Large - 75% Sweet - Less Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). It's Sri Lanka Ceylon Black Tea with Fresh Milk, Whipped Cream, and Honey Roasted Pecan. The top felt fluffy; the honey roasted pecan had a fresh crunch; and the tea felt fresh and soothing. The warm brown sugar boba were the showstopper though. I felt myself melt into a puddle of joy as I munched on these cuddly, fresh pearls. Concerning ambiance, Cha Redefine (Rowland Heights) is fairly bare. The four small tables, floors, and windows are very clean. However, during my visit, the restroom was out-of-order. The music is upbeat and soft. There's also about four available electrical sockets beneath its long bench. When I'd arrived, there were not many customers during opening time. Overall, Cha Redefine (Rowland Heights) offers thoughtful, good quality drinks. I found joy sipping my Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte ($7.25 - Large - 75% Sweet - Less Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). It's delicious. If nearby, I recommend. 4.7 out of 5

    Fresh Orange Green Tea with Avocado Foam
    Alisa B.

    Orange Green Tea with Avocado Foam was shockingly good... It sounds like a really odd pairing BECAUSE IT IS! I recommend sipping the avocado foam alone first. Almost like avocado ice cream, but better. Super fresh, rich, and creamy! I looooved this. I could eat that by itself even... The Orange Green Tea itself was super tasty!!! Fresh orange juice with lots of pulp. Not too sweet (I got 50% sugar) and the tea flavor shined through. A fragrant jasmine tea. I recommend!

    Had a good experience here at Cha Redefine. Came in no wait, browsed the menu a little bit and had no questions. Everything was pretty descriptive if you are familiar with most tea houses. Our drinks were made in a very reasonable amount of time. We didn't have to wait excessively as some reviews had mentioned. It was perfect for us because we had gotten some food at Liang Crispy Roll and since they have no tables there, we brought our food to Cha Redefine where they have 4 small tables to sit and enjoy our drinks and our food. It all worked out. As for the size, getting the larger of the two sizes was only an additional charge of $.45, so pretty worth it.

    Large Mango Mango - fresh mangos, agar boba, coconut milk, Jasmin green tea, Grapefruit
    Terrenz V.

    Absolutely love the Mango Mango. It's so fresh and refreshing. Love the fruit chunks and jellies. One of those drinks you can't stop sipping. The Coco Mango is also a great option if you're looking for something fruity and creamy. It's blended with their House Avocado Smoothie. Not overly sweat. You order from the kiosk, and staff seemed to turn around drinks at a decent speed. This place is small with little seating. I hate this parking lot so much, but worth navigating for all the goodies in this plaza.

    peach drink and strawberry drink
    Minji W.

    Their drinks are soooo good. The flavor itself was really great. There is not that much seating, but I did not have a hard time finding a spot bc it seemed most people took drinks to go. The interior is kinda trendy Asian cafe style. My only note is I got their mochi but it kinda tasted like cheese/ sea salt foam? I personally just prefer other mochi toppings I've had that do not have that taste. However, I have also gone to another boba place recently where their mochi had that same cheese foam taste, so perhaps that's just the style of mochi topping these days.

    Really nice milk tea shop, always lots of options with different things to try every season. The inside decor is so cute and they make the drinks relatively fast. Their tea tastes great and it's not overly sweet which is a huge plus.

    Zhenyang Q.

    I came here previously for this promotion and no code was required at that time. However, today we were told that a code is needed to receive the same promotion, which was confusing and frustrating. I believe it's Cha Redefine's responsibility to better educate and align their staff on current promotions so that both customers and employees have a clear and consistent understanding. When promotions are unclear or inconsistently applied, it creates unnecessary confusion and wastes customers' time. The promotion itself is what motivated us to come. The drink is fine--good, but not exceptional--and honestly, it's not worth the extra time and effort if the promotion terms are not clearly communicated and honored as advertised. Clear, consistent promotion policies would greatly improve the customer experience.

    Originating from China, this tea shop is known for their Chinese-style milk teas, fruit teas, and…read moretea frappes, which have strong brewed-tea flavor profiles instead of overly sugary drinks. I really like the vibes from this shop. It feels like a modern Chinese tea lounge with seating rather than a grab-and-go boba shop. The store itself as well as the cups and packaging are aesthetically designed and visually appealing. I had the Black Tea Frappe, which tasted smooth, authentic, and lightly sweet. The whipped cream and crushed honey-roasted pecans on top were delicious when mixed into the tea. I also tried some of my husband's Osmanthus Milk Tea, which tasted creamy and had a light floral finish. Both drinks were very aromatic with the perfect balance of tea and milk. I would definitely recommend both of these drinks.

    Had to check this spot out after hearing it was opened so my wife and I visited on a busy weekend…read moreafternoon but our drinks came out really quick. First impressions is that they have two self ordering kiosks. Already a HUGE plus. Space is pretty standard for a grab and go combo with hangout spot. Couple of tables inside and all pretty spacious. Very clean as well which is a nice plus. I love the subtle light green deco all around the shop, which gave of chill vibes overall. Parking - Free in a large outdoor parking lot. Some spots can be a bit tight so watch out for that. One thing I always look at when I visit new tea shops are their cups. Chayan has great cups, sturdy, cute yet simple design, and easy to hold. It's also pretty unique compared to other shops when you think about it. -- WHAT WE ORDERD -- -- Peach Oolong Milk Tea -- ($6.29) - This might be the perfect drink on a HOT DAY. It's refreshing, not too overpowering when it comes to the peach. Very standard and to the point. Very easy to sip and finish within seconds! -- Black Tea Frappe -- ($6.89) - Love this drink. It comes with an option to add Pecan nuts on top of your whipped cream thats above some fresh milk tea. Made the drink very creamy but also very savory to a sense. Refreshing and perfect on a hot day. It's also one of their most popular options, highly recommend. Overall, a wonderful tea spot addition to SoCal. Loved the vibes here and it's certainly one of my go to tea places now whenever I'm in Rowland. With similar vibes to Molly Tea when it comes to quality, I'm excited to visit again to try other drink options. They do seem to have BOGO promotions along with other promotions often as well which is nice.

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.
