    First time at this location and I placed a mobile order for an iced peach oolong tea latte. The kind man at the counter asked me if I had heard of the new spiced Ceylon tea latte and I had not. He made one for me which was so nice of him! I'll definitely be back as the drinks are delicious and well priced compared to other places I've been to lately.

    Waited in line to order and we got completely sprayed with a mystery liquid from the Chagee teahouse. We went up and asked them what it was. They said it was just water and it happens all the time. They did not apologize or offer napkins. They were so rude so we got out of line, to find more guests who were sprayed in line. Seems like they don't care about their customers at all and spray water everywhere because they are careless. Will not be going here again.

    I ordered a matcha latte, and my friend got the peach oolong tea. Both drinks had a nice tea flavor. However, I was surprised that they didn't offer Boba. It feels like something is missing when a milk shop doesn't have Boba.

    Boya jasmine tea latte

    First time trying and it was pretty good! Located on the second floor inside the Del Amo Mall, it's a good stop while shopping. There's plenty of parking. I used their app to order for 15% off. It was a quick 5min wait. I ordered the Boya Jasmine tea latte after seeing the recommendations in other people's reviews. It had the tea taste but also a touch of milkiness from the whole milk (you can swap that with oat milk at no extra cost).

    Located outside Macy's on the second floor. I ordered the Matcha Citrus Teafresher and Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte. I definitely preferred the Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte over the other drink. Service was fast.

    Chagee is one of the first of the BIG Chinese franchises that I have tried after the new onslaught of them dropping down in SoCal. Meaning that this was the first time I've used and heard of the 3 thin flute straws that force you to drink your tea slower and enjoy the flavor. That first visit was at the Century City location and since then, I've had a taste of the other big Chinese franchise heavy hitters like Molly Tea, Charlie's Tea, ChaHalo, and much more (stares at Valley Blvd. in San Gabriel). I find it a bit surprising that Chagee is making itself to be a mall boba place, considering many of the other locations are also at malls (Brea Mall, Ontario Mills, etc.), but it does put it a far step above something like, say, It's Boba Time. They have their own app and if it's your first time using it you can get a discount, I believe. You can also mobile order to bypass the line or go shopping and then pick up later when it's ready. They also had a lot of free samples the entire time I was ordering and waiting for my order which is nice. As of many of the Chinese franchises now, the aesthetics and design for the cups and bags are top tier, mirroring that fancy astrological/classical porcelain print (if that makes any sense, just look at the pictures). I got their Amber Oolong Tea Latte, large and no adjustments. I just wanted the first thing I saw before I had to make the hideous drive back to the 626. Thing is, it's not a bad milk tea. Very smooth and creamy, and decently strong tea flavor. Slightly caramel roasted nuts. But, as my brother put it, it tasted like good tea that was watered down by milk. This was after mixing it too. I can see what he's saying though. Other drinks are a nice balance between the extracted/brewed tea and the milk/creamer that's put into it and I don't know if it's because of the order rush or because I've now been spoiled by the knowledge of Molly Tea, but this wasn't as good as the first time, or even the second time I've had it at Century City. Better than any other mall franchise, but not the winner of the boba wars I'll be honest.

    The Torrance location located in the Del Amo mall had just recently opened so I decided to give Chagee a try (finally!) after hearing so many good reviews about it for the past few months. When I came up, the employees immediately greeted me with a sample of their new Guava CitrusTeafresher which I absolutely loved since I usually do prefer fruit teas over milk teas. I ordered that with less sweetness along with their most popular drink, the Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte. From what I heard from others, I came in with high expectations of the actual tea itself and thought their drinks would highlight a strong jasmine tea fragrance and flavor. While the Boya Jasmine was a good drink overall, I was slightly let down because the tea flavor was a bit more diluted than I had expected. However, the drink was still pretty solid. Next time I'd probably do less sweet to bring out the tea more. The Guava refresher, on the other hand, was my fave. Unlike other tea spots where their fruit teas are made from syrups and are overly sweet, this genuinely tasted like they had squeezed real Guava in green tea. It was definitely refreshing and the added lime in the drink also brought some tanginess. Service was stellar as well. And I love the concept of being able to sample teas. Overall, my drinks were solid but for a place so popular I expected a tiny bit more. However, I still enjoyed my experience here and will likely come again.

    Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte

    Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte, large, less sweet, no ice was $6.05 after 15% discount after you download their app. Tasted delightful, good balance of milky, floral, and tea flavors. Would get again. 5/5 The wait time was disappointing because it took 35 min for my drink to be ready. I guess go order then walk around the mall. I didn't get a notification my drink was ready. They only say your name and the name is on the screen when ready. Doesn't tell you if they're brewing your tea, but the app does. The app also didn't tell me my drink was ready. Not sure if that was a glitch. They don't have a lot of seats because you kind of share the seats with the rest of the mall it seems. Can't really sit and enjoy the drink there. Service was good even though it was busy. The cashier was patient with me with the app and gave me the discount after I scanned the code. I would come back and order another drink to try to see if they're just as good. Just wished there was one closer to me in the SGV.

    I usually mobile order the drink before picking it up and it's very convenient. You just go up to the counter when your drink is ready and they are very nice. I usually get the boya but decided to try the matcha jasmine. It's not too sweet and you can definitely taste the matcha. Chagee obviously tastes better in China but not bad for the American version.

    Iced Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte (large size with less sugar and whole milk)
    Joe C.

    Just like the other Chagee locations I visited, ordering was quick and easy. I fired up the app, placed my order and within minutes, I received a notification that my order was ready for pick up. My go to is always the Iced Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte. Specifically the large size with less sugar and whole milk. I've tried their other teas (which are also delicious) but enjoy this one the most! I love the rich tea flavor. Add the touch of milk and sugar and it's perfect! If you haven't tried Chagee, you must!

    jasmine matcha and peach oolongq matcha
    Rachel Z.

    tried the new matcha drinks and found that they were good but can't say they were absolutely amazing. they are decent quality but the flavored ones taste more similar to the lattes rather than having the matcha stand out. however, it's hard to fully judge it so i'd like the try the regular matcha latte before i decide whether or not i like it. i will say it's a bit pricey as the drinks are about $8 but definitely alike all the other spots around. of course if i were based in oc and had more matcha options for lower price and better quality, i would opt for those. otherwise, this is a decent option to satisfy a matcha craving. personal favorites are the peach lemon tea, roasted black tea latte, and the amber oolong latte service is okay at this location and honestly the century city one generally has served better drinks despite them all being measured.

    CSA CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL-STAR ALEXIS
    Robert G.

    Met a guest of mine here in the mall after getting my cologne and tending to my appetite in the food court an hour earlier. Now it's time to quench my thirst, and so it was that I would find myself back at Chagee Del Amo. This time I went ahead and did my first ever order using the app. I was a bit scared at first, as I assumed that I would have to physically enter the location that I was nearest, and initially I was worried because my last order using the app was in Fox hills, Culver city. CSA (OR CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL STAR) Jose (pictured) was up to the task and went out of his way to accommodate both myself and my guest by quickly putting my nerves to rest when he indicated that my phone had defaulted to the nearest Chagee location-and that he saw the order on the screen. Jose has a smooth and respectful tone-all the while while taking additional in person orders and tending to online pickups etc. Like so many other hires here, he appears to be well cut out for his role in customer service and dealing with people here. Another solid experience.

    Roasted Black citrus tea(cloudy version)
    Ms M.

    I REALLY want to like this place. And now I've ordered the same item 4 times and it's been a hit and a miss. First time I ordered the amber oolong tea and it was first thing in the morning when they opened. The tea was really watered down. Not a lot of flavor at all. I was disappointed but a month later I thought I'd give it another try and this time I ordered the Roasted Black Citrus Tea, less sugar and it WAS HEAVEN!! The tea in the cup was clear, balanced citrus flavor and a wonderful roasted tea flavor, just sweet enough. Never had this roasted tea flavor and I absolutely loved it. Chagee was my new fav tea spot. A couple weeks later, went back again for the same order Roasted Black Citrus, less sugar. It was again great!! Yay!! TODAY, I came back. Looking forward to my go-to Roasted Black Citrus Tea, less sugar and it was TERRIBLE!!! Tea in the cup was cloudy. Tea flavor was bitter(as if it was steeped waaay too long), no sugar and the citrus rinds overtook the flavors. I was extremely disappointed. The service is always good and they were really kind to make it again after adjusting their equipment. It was ok, but the tea was still cloudy and slightly bitter. Did not taste the "roasted" flavor that was usually there. I think the citrus rinds were over smashed, so it was more citrus rind, than it was roasted tea--maybe that accounts for the cloudiness in the drink. It was just not as good. I'm sad this place is so inconsistent. If the manager is reading this review, please better train the staff to understand teas and why they turn bitter or cloudy. Thanks!
