    Yuzu Green Tea
    Ter L.

    Came here to quench a bottomless thirst!!! Thanks to a quick search on Yelp and the promising reviews, ChaTraMue Original Thai Tea seemed really promising. The little tea shop sits in a small strip and was the only establishment opened on a Sunday evening. This made for easy parking but I couldn't help but feel that the location was a bit eerie. Orders are made via tablet or directly with a staffer at the register. The menu lists: milk teas, specialty teas, tea slushees, lattes, and coffee. Drinks are customizable when it comes to sweetness level. Purchases: *ORIGINAL THAI- regular size, 30% sweetened *JASMINE MILK TEA- large size, 50% sweetened *YUZU GREEN TEA- regular size, 30% sweetened The yuzu green tea was fantastic. This was the perfect item to satisfy my thirst. This was not only deliciously refreshing but the agar jelly balls were so enjoyable. The original Thai tea set at 30% sweetener was perfect- it had the best punch of tea flavor with the subtle sweetness that balanced the bold spice profiles. The worst buy was 100% jasmine milk tea. This literally tasted like sugar water. At 50% sweetness level, I could not imagine what 100% default would be. This cup literally tasted like condensed milk poured over ice. 3 stars overall. It is so unfortunate how ChaTraMue has clear signage of them standing by their products and guaranteeing customer satisfaction only for our simple request for more tea [to offset the sickenly sweet cup] to be denied. The gentleman at the bar said the only option was to go and purchase another drink. BRAVO!! The customer service here is unmatched and the guarantee policy only applies to certain situations?????

    Just enough parking at this location as it is in a square. Love the Thailand mural inside the restaurant and how to seating arrangements are color coded to be orange with hues of a white shade. My Thai tea with boba took less than 5 minutes to make, and it was good! Crazy that they have a 135% sweetness level available, which I never seen before. Would rate higher, but I was in and out of here for my singular order, so not much else to say about this location. Beware of the traffic as it is in Chinatown, so people on road be doing what they want! Welcome to LA

    Regular Thai tea, and thai tea slush - both with boba!

    Best Thai tea I've ever had, their boba is the best too - so fresh! Comfy interior, service accommodative and quick

    This place was so good tastes very authentic and fresh. Their drinks are so refreshing! I got the Thai tea and green Thai tea

    I enjoyed my drink just fine, however the overall experience was a little lackluster. To start, there was no employee at the counter to ask any questions or help with ordering. They have a screen to place your order but there was a line and it took a REALLY long time for each party to order. It would be helpful if they had another screen for ordering or someone stationed at the front to also take orders. My friend who is vegan wanted to ask some questions about their drinks and someone finally came over who was not very friendly or helpful. It is nice they have a vegan menu! No food at all. I know other boba shops usually have baked goods or other cooked food, but nothing like that here. I got the lemon green tea with boba. It was super refreshing. It tasted just like the canned Arizona green tea. The boba was softer than I prefer, I like it a little more chewy. Overall, I've had better boba. It is nice that they have a lot of seating inside.

    Thai tea here is good! I really wanted to try the original Thai tea soft serve but it is only available on the weekends. Inside is big and roomy with seating and there is a parking lot. You can order yourself through an iPad and drinks come out quickly. Definitely coming back.

    Some of the best Thai tea in town can be found at ChaTraMue, a beloved brand from Thailand. This is a pretty sizable cafe in a rather strange part of downtown, but the upside is there's an entire parking lot with free parking--except the nights when there's the night market (not sure if it's still running). There's a machine you can order on and the drinks out pretty quickly, even when there was only one guy working late at night. Service is always friendly. I absolutely love the green Thai tea, it's much lighter and more floral than traditional Thai tea. They sell tins and bags of the tea you can buy to make at home! The boba is pretty nice too, not the best in LA but pretty chewy and they have it in pandan flavor as well.

    Located inside LAX-C's plaza is ChaTraMue. It's the quintessential Thai tea joint from Thailand. It was established in 1945 and has been trusted for over 80 years. They have a variety drinks, but they're famous for the very popular Thai iced tea. I opted for the Thai Tea Slushee, my wife the Original Thai Tea and my daughter the Sala Milk. For the Thai tea, we opted for 70% sweetness and it was still very sweet. We'll have to try the next one down which is 30% next time we're in the area. The Original Thai Tea would've been perfect if it wasn't so sweet and same goes for the slushee. I felt that if it was less sweet, it would be perfect. I'll have to ask if I can bring down the sweetness of the slushee the next time I'm there. As for the Sala Milk, it was a hard no for everyone. I've never had this before - even in Thailand. Unfortunately, my daughter took a sip and was done with it. Definitely will come back to try other flavors and adjust the sweetness levels of our drinks. Don't forget to grab yourself some tins of tea to take home and make in the comfort of your home!

    Easy parking as it has its own lot. Ordered the original Thai tea and came out quick! It was delicious and would definitely come again to try different flavors!

    After taking two sips from a straw, this is how much you get for $5.75. I asked for a little less ice, and they did let me know the cup wouldn't be full. They also refuse to give you less than 30% sweetness. I can no longer support this place. Having 3/4 of a drink I paid $5.75 for because I didn't want half the cup filled with ice is crazy. I was annoyed to see how empty it was before I drank anything but when I saw how empty it was after two literal sips, I had to take a picture and leave a review. This was the last straw, literally and figuratively...

    #1 Thai milk tea for a reason. I tried both the original Thai milk tea and the green milk tea, and they were incredible in completely different ways--bold, fragrant tea flavor without being overly sweet or diluted. You truly won't find a better Thai tea spot than this. ChaTraMue is especially special because it's the original Thai tea brand from Thailand, established in 1945, and you can really taste the quality and tradition in every sip. This isn't trendy milk tea--it's the real deal. I only wish they had a location on the Westside of L.A., but until then, it's absolutely worth the drive. Parking was also easy thanks to their dedicated lot. 10/10 -- excellent, authentic tea flavor.

    Very serene tea shop and relaxing atmosphere while waiting for sister shopping next door! To cool hubby and I he got the iced Black Coffee while I got refreshed with the iced Lime lychee Honey Rose Tea...

Honestly, I'm not hesitant to spend 7-10 dollars on a cup of coffee, so maybe it wasn't truly that expensive. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming and may not look as fancy and in order as some more new wave places, but the flavors here can't easily be replicated. Easily some of the better pho I've had in LA. Granted, i was really hungry, so that could have factored into the score. Places like this are what i love so much about Chinatown. The atmosphere inside is incredibly welcoming and there was a steady flow of customers coming for the Vietnamese coffee. I'm sad i didn't get to explore this part of the city during its prime, but im happy places like Gigo's are still around to enjoy and appreciate. Give it a try if your around the area and craving some pho.

I arrived at Yi Fang (Los Angeles) on Sunday (around 12:48PM). Parking is very challenging. I'd parked at a nearby structure and walked over. Staff (receipt says Dinh) is very polite and hardworking. Dinh gave wonderful recommendations, and Dinh worked hard. My drink took one minute and 50 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Sugarcane Mountain Tea ($7.24 - 50% Sugar - Less Ice). It's refreshing, flavorful, and thirst-quenching. The ingredients are good quality, and I felt happy & satisfied as I sipped. On ambiance, Yi Fang (Los Angeles) is cozy, clean, and small.

On its own, there's one corner table, but I appreciated how the table had an electrical outlet adapter with extra plugs and usb ports. There's also customer internet with password; details are visible on the front counter. Overall, Yi Fang (Los Angeles) is a lovely spot for good tea. I felt comfortable, and I left satisfied.
