    Coco Mango, outside.
    Nathan W.

    Coco Mango is good. Avocado smoothie base is light and gives a slight nutty taste. Mango sauce at the bottom, good flavor, a bit stringy from the mango fibers. You can only have it 75% sweetness. Solid service, completed in reasonable amount of time depending on how many people are there. It's a cafe after all. Selfie machine inside. Finally, they did something with that plaza, it's been years since I've last went there for that big restaurant at the top of the main building. Kind of nostalgic but we know why they're putting up the boba shops first.

    I have ordered from here multiple times now. They have cute bags and so many drink options. Their drinks are decent, imo. Kinda pricey... All the drinks I have tried were ok. Not the best but not the worst. Something to drink when thirsty. If you go during the evening or night time, it is best to avoid their pastries. We got a plain croissant at night. They gave it to us without warming it up or anything. It was hard as rock. After warming it up, it wasn't even warm. It was still cold. It got even harder lol Not something I would drive outta my way for. They closes late so it is convenient when needing a drink while in the area

    CHA REDEFINE is one of the best spots to get delicious drinks with a variety of flavors including coffee !! Sometimes I find it hard to get my matcha, coffee and GOOD BOBA FIX in the same store. This place has it all! I literally never tried a drink here I didn't think was bomb. Good service, it is quite a long wait ... but it's pretty inside and clean, lots of comfy seating and when you get drink it's all worth it. My FAVE IS : Mochi barely milk tea with POPPING BARELY that is so delicious and a great refreshing switch from traditional boba but still getting that chew, I usually always get sugar but this one with 0% sugar is still delicious because the mochi is sweet. Mango Mango : if you love mango sago drinks, this one is so refreshing and again, no need to add sugar it's perfect with 0% sugar still sweet and has jasmine green tea which makes it extra good imo perfect balance. If you like peach tea, please get the peach chappucino so good! I also tried their coconut and matcha gelato , it's ceremonial grease matcha and you can taste the richness. 100/10 Follow me for more foodie drink reviews -Living with Luci

    I'm so excited for the San Gabriel location to be open! They'll have ice cream and croissants and pastries on top of their normal menu as well. The store typically opens around 11 or 11:30am and it's spacious so there's a good amount of seating as compared to other locations.

    6/25/26 Sri Lanka Ceylon cha latte with oat milk-- surprisingly good!
    Jennifer W.

    6/25/26 I was really excited & rearing to go in.... Entered the doors and was told, "We open at 11". I figured it was an open door that they were. Would've passed the chance coz time is money but J figured J will take my business elsewhere but decided to return. J walked over to Kee Wah. When I returned, it was starting to pick up already. My less than warm reception was not impressive. The young man at the counter did not greet me and I may have startled him when I loudly said "Hi! Good morning!" as I stood there waiting for him to acknowledge the presence of a customer. If anything, I value these interactions & it didn't bode well. Ambiance is modern, clean, even the single stall restroom was clean and furnished for comfort. Music is extremely loud, not much for conversation if you would like to stay to enjoy your beverage with a friend, unless you relish shouting over each other. Perhaps it's only geared for the younger crowd. I ordered the HOT Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte with oat (extra $0.75 for the oat milk)--- the only reason I'm giving it a 3 star rating. This beverage was actually very good. Not many beverages are made hot here (silly me, I thought tea & coffee are traditionally served hot vs. cold). The house cream made it palatable & the crunchy nut bits were a pleasant surprise. This is newly opened in the TAWA Gateway plaza, with many businesses sharing the lot, which I'm fairly certain will be packed in peak hours. The experience was lackluster as it was not the most welcoming atmosphere from the staff but at least I gave it a try.

    Sri Lanka Ceylon latte, canneli, coco mango gelato ($22)

    Sg has become the spot for boba. I ahve been trying to try all the new spots that just open and i am so glad to have finally checked off cha redefine. for co text, I have tried the arcadia location before. I remember getting a fruit juice (cant recall which) but i wasnt really vibing with it. however, when the sg location opened, ive been seeing/hearing sm hype about this place and decided to give it another go! we came, and it was pretty crowded but our order came out pretty quick! we ordered the - Sri Lanka Ceylon latte (7/10) loved the pecans & whipped cream. base was not as tea-a compared to the other mainland boba shops in sg but still phenomenal! also not too sweet - canneli? (idk if i spelled correctly, 5/10) would've given it an 8/10 but it was 3.75 per piece which was kinda insane to me. but it was rlly good. it kinda tasted like an elevated madeline cookie, rich and fluffy in the inside with a burnt crisp texture on the outside. - Coco mango Gelato (10/10) so good omg! I love ice cream, and this hit home!! loved the Gelato u can rlly taste the cream. the fruits were very fresh and sweet!

    New tea chain that opened up in this busy San Gabriel plaza. Open late night which is great for hanging out. Indoor and outdoor seating. Refreshing drinks. Nice service and even gave my dog whipped cream on the side! The mango chili uses real mango for that sweet natural mango flavor. The ceylon cha latte comes with a thick whip cream and nuts on it. Tea was good. Would come back if I'm craving a late night drink. They also have ice cream and pastries here!

    Visited Cha Redefine with my lovely wife during their grand opening and it's just like the other locations I've been to. They're pretty big and have plenty of tables around. The cafe is very clean and big, free parking in a large parking lot as well. They share same plaza with two other boba shops and are close to popular restaurants as well, perfect spot to get some drinks after a meal. My go to drinks here are the matcha tornado and the Osmanthus drinks as well. All are refreshing to drink especially on a warmer day. This spot doesn't seem like a spot to hangout with friends as they don't have big tables. More of a grab and go type cafe. CRF is known for their higher quality drinks so I'm very happy to have another boba spot added to an already packed SGV.

    Inside

    Of course I had to visit the newest Cha Redefine location. This location is pretty much the same as the one in Arcadia. The shop has a clean, minimalist aesthetic. There is minimal seating inside, so it seems better for a grab-and-go experience rather than hanging out for a while. The menu has many creative drinks and a decent variety of drinks to choose from. I really like the chappuccino and cha latte drinks, whereas my husband really likes the ceremonial matcha grade drinks. Their drinks do lean towards the sweeter end though, so I prefer to get half sweetness here. Although there is no self-order kiosk, they do have online ordering through Toast and a loyalty program. The store opens until 1 am everyday, making it the perfect boba spot for late-night visits. Plenty of parking, including underground level parking, is available in the shared plaza.

    the #2 mango mango is super yummy! such a light taste and perfectly sweet. The mangosteen peach paradise was just fine and would def pass next time. we loved the free photo booth while we waited for our drinks

    Came here around 11pm and line was packed!! Who knew there was 50% off drinks late night Mango Mango: 8/10, good refreshing summer drink Super crowded inside but there's a cute photobooth! Good amount of seating to chit chat while waiting for drinks.

    Leesuh W.

    Matcha Matcha 5/5 (good if you like matcha) Mango mango 5/5 (50% sweet is just right) Mango Passion Chill 4/5 (25% sweet is still a bit sweet) Almond Croissant 5/5 (only if it is baked fresh) Service 5/5! My overall experience has been good! However, their bakery goods are not good if you come in the late afternoon or evening. They're either cold or too hard to eat. I would recommend their almond croissant, but get it when they open or early afternoon - otherwise it's a waste of your money.

    When I'm back home and if there is a Dodger game on TV (for those who don't know getting Dodger…read moregames isn't the easiest thing to achieve), my first thought is to go to Clearman's Galley. They check enough boxes for my TV sporting event viewing needs. 1. There is a 360 degree offering of TVs. (Great for Sunday Football viewing.) 2. They generally play the sound/audio for the "main" game. Granted the sound is a bit muffled but not many venues offer the audio to a sporting event. 3. The beer is cold and the chili cheese (steak) fries hit just right. And there is plenty of decent bar food available. 4. And there is plenty of parking. (Compared to Old Town Pasadena, the parking situation is extremely favorable.) I've been going to the Galley since there were family style/picnic style seating with sawdust on the ground. This is a great locals hangout. And I was able to convince my boogie friends to come as well. #win

Fine we doctored them up and he ate. However, an hour later he's sick to his stomach. He's been fine all day prior to eating this meal. He was sick all afternoon and didn't want dinner. Never again!

Chicken was juicy. I usually don't eat chicken wings. Even after it got cold, the wings still tasted tender and not dry. Grilled Cabbage with Bagna Cauda - I do like a good cabbage dish, but the cabbage was under charred, way too greasy, & lacked acidity. After finishing the half portion of cabbage, it left an unpleasant after taste. Not a well balanced dish at all. Not my favorite dish. Maybe we should've gotten a simple salad instead. Dan Dan Campanelle - the dish came warm not hot. Good flavors and the Campanelle had a good chew, but not an exceptional dish. Hainan Fish Rice - I was so looking forward to this dish. The fish was cooked perfectly, but again lacking balance. The ginger oil is muted and purely decorative, lacking the sharp, sinus-clearing bite needed to wake up the dish. Without the bright, raw punch of ginger and chili, the dish tastes heavy and one-dimensional. I just wished there were more flavors and not just the taste of oil with each bite of fish and ginger. Good ingredients used, but just too heavy on the oil, too light on the aromatics. We didn't fully enjoy our meal as much as we would've liked. We might come back and try the brunch some day.

    Brains require a lot of energy to function, so it's no surprise that the main Caltech dining hall…read morehas a vibrant array of delicious items to please the palate. Food: You can get pretty much anything you'd want here ranging from pizza to Mongolian BBQ. Each station has some sort of ridiculously nerdy name that adds to the dining experience. I'm going to go through all the options one by one, so bear with me: Bunsen Burner (Grill): This place serves piping hot breakfast in the morning and transitions to choice cuts of meats in the afternoon. They seriously have a butcher's delicase in the dining hall. How sweet is that? Deli Epicenter: The Epicenter is the to go place for some sandwiches. Never tried it, but the line is always ridiculous, so it must be at least decent. Salad-Fusion: The salad bar is priced at $0.39/oz. Not super impressive as the selection is fairly small, but it holds its own. Each plate comes with a baked roll. Wok Zone: This is the Mongolian BBQ station. The product that comes out of here is entirely dependent on your ability to mix the sauces correctly. Sometimes they'll randomly throw weird items into your food that you didn't want like corn. I don't know why. Maybe there are some passive aggressive employees who hate their job behind the counter. The amount of food you get is astronomical. Pizza-Byte: Super good pizza at a reasonable price with loads of crazy options to choose from like Ranch Bacon Chicken. Comfort Equation/Latin Bar: These are the two stations in the middle of the dining hall that serve the absolute best things on campus. The Latin bar frequently has tostadas with really great meat offerings. They like to serve seafood paella loaded with mussels and calimari (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fp2H4dCbkZO52RrmFqzSVQ?select=S8Xc9TtSZsLoU5taZzN5Wg). Comfort Equation frequently has dishes like spice-crusted grilled chicken, Asian dishes, salmon, etc. You can load up on these items (some are priced by weight, some with a flat amount) and then get healthy sides like rice and steamed veggies. Bandwidth Bakery: Has baked goods... most aren't super awesome. TechTonics: This is a glorified soda fountain with coffee. The name is much more awesome than the actual station. Soup Station: It's soup. Sushi: Also self-explanatory. Cooking 101: Ok, this one is pretty special. They serve absolutely delicious pasta here, cooked to order. Some of the meats include chicken, sausage, and meatballs. You can get red, cream, or a combo of sauces. They'll often experiment with different dishes like pho on occasion. I would stay away from the pho, though. It was watery and tasted nothing like the real thing! Service: It's a dining hall so you grab what you want and pay at the front in cash, credit, or Caltech card. There's an area in the back to return your plate etc. that a lot of people forget about. Atmosphere: It's a typical dining hall experience, but at least they have pomegranates, artichokes, a large array of citrus fruits, and strawberries growing outside. I think they sometimes use those in the food. Synopsis: Pretty cool, although with the swipe card option you can easily spend over 10 bucks for lunch and not even know it.
