I always only get one thing here: dong ding oolong with mousse. I got 0% sweet and it was perfect with the sugar from the mousse. I used to get 50% but always felt it was too sweet. I usually get it with taro balls but turns out it was seasonal when i came few days ago. It definitely didnt feel seasonal bc i always get taro balls idk why they stopped it i was so sad. Pls bring back the taro balls :'(
We placed our order and paid on the kiosk at the counter, there was a good selection of flavors and special seasonal drinks too. This Tea Shop hand-presses the teas and herbs for each individual order on their Teapresso machine. You can observe the process through the glass window along the front counter. There are five roasting/brew levels: Light, Light-Medium, Medium, Medium Heavy or Heavy. -Choose the type of tea: Milk, Fruit, Black or Green Tea. -Flavors: Honey, Brown Sugar, Mousse, Oolong, Passion Fruit. -Topping Add on: Bubble, Taro Ball, Coconut Jelly or Grass Jelly. -Final step is to choose sweetness level and amount of ice. I bought one of their seasonal teas: Creamy Pineapple Tart made with Oat Milk, bits of Pineapple pieces, Mousse and salted cookie crumb topping. This is a special promotion, not on the regular menu. They had photos of their Pineapple series, with the name Tart, you might think you're getting a dessert instead of a drink. It was perfect, not overly sweet and I would order this again. The shop is spacious, seating along the left side of the room, restrooms located in the back (right side doorway). Sincerely, Rosemary
While waiting for our reservation, we ventured to this tea spot because we were parched. Good size crowd in this very modern setup. Offered samples once you got to the counter. The flavor of the day was a honey oolong. I got the Iced Pineapple Green Tea with boba. Seasonal flavor. Did have to wait a few for our tea but worth it. Loved the way it was presented and tasted great!
02/28/26 Saturday Award winning Taiwanese milk tea shop. Liked the transparency with the glass walls to allow you to see workers crafting the drinks. A bit pricey for the amount you get. The drink cups are on the smaller side. 9/10 Taro Milk Tea - light sweet is perfect because the taro paste and balls are sweetened. Just wish I could customize so it is milk instead of cream. So delicious and addicting but small portion size. Can still taste the tea despite the cream and taro. 8/10 Dong Ding Oolong Tea - probably should've gotten full sweet as it was very lightly sweetened at 75% sweetness. However, you can definitely taste the high quality loose leaf tea through the milk. Long wait, probably because today was the lunar new year festival happening on the same street this shop is situated. About 20 minutes in line to order because only one order kiosk and another 20 minutes to receive our drink. No one mans the orders, only workers to make drinks. Parking is limited because it is on Main Street.
This was my first time here Chicha San Chen (located on Main street) in Alhambra as I was looking for a tea place. This is quite an interesting store. Inside ambiance is clean and modern and yet still somewhat inviting. You can tell that is place offers a more elevated, tea-focused boba experience rather than your typical sugary drink shop with cute decor. I really like the service here. The staff is friendly, patient, and was able to explain their tea brewing process and also gave some good recomendations. I got lucky as there wasn't anyone after me so I could take my time and ask questions. One of the biggest highlights here is the quality of their drink. I have never had such high quality, freshly brewed on the spot, tea beverage. Usually those boba places have premade tea in stock ready for customers so that they can crank out their orders fast. But here you can tell they take their time in seeping the tea and making your drink. Each drink is brewed fresh to order using their signature "teaspresso" method, which really brings out the depth of the tea flavors . I got their Honey Osmanthus Oolong Tea that was somewhat light, floral, and with a deep oolong flavor. Loved it! I can definitely taste the pemium tea leaves, and the drinks taste smoother and less artificial compared to many other boba spots. I also got their Cassia Black Tea with Mousse that included a creamy foam top. Interesting combo for sure. Side stree parking only and it did take a few minutes to find a spot during peak times, but it's manageable. Will drop by again next time I am here in SGV!
I've been going back and forth to Arcadia a lot this year, and because we regularly go to May Mei and Chang's Garden, it's been easy to sneak out, place my tea orderat the kiosk, go back to finish the meal, then get my tea. My usual order is mango oolong with grass jelly, which is still sweet enough for me at 0% sweetness. They take the tea seriously here - each cup is brewed upon ordering so it's not fast. They also have some cute twine to go around the top of the cup. The sizes are on the smaller side. They open at noon, so I've been too early to get something a few times. Heading back to LA again this week, I will probably end up here again at some point!
Wow I get the hype of this place, they have high quality tea for their boba and their machines prove it. The place is very pristine, clean, and modern with their design and seating. If you take it to go, they give you their classic boba carrier with string. I don't really like taro but I LOVE their taro series. I got their: Taro Milk Tea (5/5): Which comes with their black tea blended with cream to create a milk tea base, thick slab of taro paste at the bottom, with their chewy taro balls. The black milk tea base was perfectly sweetened and went so well with the taro paste. Mix it up and it tasted even better blended throughout. I also love the chewiness of their taro balls that was flavored so well. I would come back to try their other drinks!
An Honest Review of "Chicha San Chen" in Los Angeles As someone who values culinary quality and the finer details of life, I always enjoy exploring diverse food and beverage establishments. However, my visit today to "Chicha San Chen" in Alhambra, Los Angeles, resulted in an incredibly disappointing--and frankly, failing--customer experience. Beneath its over-packaging and fame from Taiwan, this establishment fails severely in fundamental customer service and care. Company Policy Over Customer Health The most baffling aspect is their insistence on prioritizing "company policy" over customer health! What I found most unacceptable during this experience was the store's arrogant attitude toward health and environmental requests. I prefer drinking hot tea. It is well known that commercial paper or plastic cups rely on chemical linings to prevent leaks. When exposed to high-temperature liquids, these cups can easily release microplastics and harmful chemicals, posing a potential threat to human health. Because of this, despite my fatigue, I walked all the way back to my car under the hot sun to fetch my own stainless steel thermos, fully expecting to enjoy a cup of hot tea in the safest and most environmentally friendly way. To my surprise, when I made the perfectly reasonable request to have the freshly brewed hot tea poured directly into my thermos, I was met with a cold refusal from the staff. Citing a rigid "company policy," they insisted that the scalding hot tea must first be poured into their disposable cup, handed to me, and then I would have to transfer it into my thermos myself. This absurd operational logic not only entirely defeats the purpose of bringing a reusable cup but also ensures that the high-temperature tea still comes into contact with the chemical coating, directly threatening consumer health. When I tried to reason with them from a health perspective, all I received was an uncompromising, utterly indifferent refusal. Left with no choice, I canceled my hot tea order. The business philosophy of a restaurant that refuses to respect its customers' basic health needs and lacks any flexibility is truly hard to commend. Soulless Service and Artificial Flavors Their service devoid of warmth and mediocre flavors make one realize that their reputation is merely a façade. The soul of the food and beverage industry lies in "people" and "flavor," yet this store performs poorly in both regards. First is the service attitude. The staff throughout the store acted like machines executing commands; there were absolutely no smiles on their faces, nor could I feel any warmth or hospitality. In a modern dining environment that values the art of hospitality, this icy service demeanor is highly uncomfortable. Second, not wanting to ruin the mood, I tasted the iced tea ordered by my family members. I initially thought a brand that prides itself on refinement would showcase the true depth of its tea leaves. Instead, upon tasting it, I found a distinct artificial taste in the flavoring that completely masked the natural, sweet aftertaste the tea should possess. For anyone who truly understands tea and cares about flavor, this is absolutely unacceptable. Overhyped Atmosphere Lastly, I must mention their interior design. Many Taiwanese chain tea shops of this kind advertise their spatial design as elegant, comfortable, and perfect for gatherings or romantic dates. In reality, the overall environment of this store felt incredibly ordinary and stiff. It completely lacked the premium feel they boast about, let alone any sense of romance or comfort. Conclusion A successful food and beverage brand can never be sustained solely by superficial marketing or rigid SOPs. When a store loses its respect for customer health and environmental consciousness, while simultaneously failing to provide sincere service, professional explanations, or natural and pure flavors, it has lost its core value to establish a foothold in the culinary world. This experience at "Chicha San Chen" was undoubtedly a massive letdown and deeply regrettable.
My favorite drinks are back. The only time i would come to chicha is for their taro series. I can't decide which one is better betweem the milk tea or the fresh milk. But the taro paste and balls are what makes the drink amazing. Wished it was permanent but since it's not that's fine. Save me money since drinks are overpriced. When you come in, you line up to place your order on the kiosk. Then you wait for for drinks to be called. But most of the time they make alot of orders then call people to pick them up so i just show them my receipt instead of waiting. Otherwise you waste more time since drinks take a while.
I've been to both the SG location as well as the Alhambra one quite a few times and it's always been a consistent experience in terms of service and quality. The best part of Chicha San Chen is their teas--super fragrant no matter which tea you order. My absolutely favorite is the Green Milk Tea with Taro Balls, and it comes with a refreshing jasmine tea paired with chewy soft taro balls that aren't too sweet (best Asian compliment ofc). This last time I also purchased some Lishan Oolong tea (light roast and medium dark roast) and wow, it bloomed into whole tea leaves, not just scraps. Pretty good quality. Went back on a weekend and they had BOGO 75g Lishan Oolong--$40 for 150g, what a steal! The staff here are always really polite and nice, and this particular store is huge with plenty of seating spaces. There's a free parking garage behind Gen right around the corner.
As always, I love Chicha San Chen for their aesthetics and tea. It has been over a year since I've been to one and this is my first time at their Alhambra location. The interior of this location is huge! Very clean and open. We got lucky and there was no line on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered Cassia with Mousse ($7.25), Green Tea with Passion ($7.25), Taro Ball Tea Latte ($8.25), Dong Ding Oolong Tea ($6). I forgot that the mousse has a sweet flavoring to it that makes it a bit too sweet even for this sweet tooth. Their drinks are very expensive for what it is. The size is on the smaller side and for a basic tea with no milk or add-ons, its already $6. The tea does taste good, but nothing too great. Overall, I think I still like Chicha San Chen for what it is, but I wouldn't frequent them all the time.
CHICHA San Chen is a world-renowned Taiwanese bubble tea chain that brought its high-end, "Michelin-equivalent" tea experience to Alhambra, CA, as part of its strategic expansion within the San Gabriel Valley. CHICHA means "to drink tea", while San Chen refers to a Chinese proverb about finding the best single thing among many, symbolizing their dedication to quality. Funded in 1998 in Taichung, Taiwan, the brand is built on over 20 years of traditional tea-making expertise. It is famously known for receiving an award equivalent to three Michelin stars from the International Taste Institute (iTQi) for its exceptional tea quality. The shop offers a bright, spacious environment with seating and outlets, making it a popular spot for studying or a refined tea break. There's also a tasting bar where staff sometimes offer free tea samples and education on different roasting degrees. CHICHA features six core teas, including the award-winning Dong Ding Oolong, Cassia Black, and High Mountain Pouchong. Drinks are typically one size and can be customized with various toppings. Drinks generally range from $7 to $9. Our favorite drinks are Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Honey or Mango, Peach Green Tea, and Bubble Milk Tea. Their seasonal drinks were also pretty good. There's street parking and a free parking structure located directly in the back.
I always enjoy Chicha San Chen. I had the lemon & mango with condensed milk. It's just the perfect texture for the summer, but anytime honestly. read more

I was staring out the window one day on Main when I saw the CHICHA San Chen logo and I was like, "No way, they're opening a CHICHA in Alhambra??" We were going to go to a different place down the street that was absurdly busy so we ended up pulling up to CHICHA instead after seeing they had tables and confirming with the bobarista that they had WiFi. (Their WiFi doesn't work -- not sure if it was an off day or just the reality.) The cassia black tea didn't taste as floral to me as the one in San Gabriel for some reason, but it was still pretty solid. This location is significantly less crowded and bigger than the San Gabriel one, which was a very welcome change! read more

When I researched which boba shop to try in the SGV, Chicha San Chen was number 1. Before coming, I had learned that they won awards in Taiwan for their green teas so my expectations were quite high. I have since been here twice and have been blown away by their green tea as I have always said green tea is not for me. I prefer fruity flavors and have gotten green tea + mango as well as green tea + passion fruit. I stuck with their recommendation of perfect sweetness and ice and I am very happy with my drinks. The cashier is very knowledgeable with the menu + their recommendations which is a big plus since they have so many options! This location has a very short wait (~10 min) with a good amount of seats that always seem to be open. It's a nice spot to grab a drink and take a break from the heat outside. Chicha San Chen has quickly become one of my top 3 boba shops! read more

I am so glad they opened a location in Alhambra because the lines in San Gabriel was also so long, I stopped going. I was in the area and decided to check it out. There was no line out the door and it moved rather quickly. I ordered my usual which was the high mountain passionfruit green tea with less sugar and less ice. I also loved how spacious the place was and there was a waiting area with benches and they had a clean restroom. Would love to be at this location more often. read more

I'm a regular at other locations of Chicha San Chen and this one happened to be closest to me while I was out. My order is usually a green tea + mango + light ice + light sweetness. My order was ready in about 10 minutes which was pretty normal regardless of which Chicha San Chen I go to. The drink had a slightly stronger green tea taste this time, which I enjoyed. The sweetness felt a little bit more than what I usually have so I guess they were a bit heavy handed on the sweetener this time. Overall, the drink I got here was still great. Definitely one of my favorite tea shops in SGV. read more

So happy that Chicha San Chen is now open in Alhambra! There are many parking structures surrounding the store, which makes it easy to find parking and walk to. Pros: 1. Good parking 2. Good AC in the store, and the line is also inside rather than outside like their San Gabriel location 3. Quality tea taste 4. Ample tables and outlets for working + free wifi They are currently still in soft opening, thus not everything is at 100% yet (bathrooms aren't ready quite yet) but I would say that it functions quite well. What sets this store apart from the San Gabriel one is that there is a free tea tasting at 1 PM daily where a small group (I believe 5-6 people ?) can view the brewing process and taste the tea. My friend was able to participate and thought it was very educational! I got the Bubble Milk Tea with half sweet and less ice and thought it was delicious. The quality is still up there with the San Gabriel location. My friend got the seasonal Peach Dong Ding Oolong with Mousse. The mousse provides a texture change compared to the otherwise smooth drink. There are some drinks that they don't allow toppings added, but I don't mind because otherwise it would change the taste of the drink. Yes, the tea is more expensive than other boba shops, but everything is competitive in cost now. Quality wise, you can't beat Chicha San Chen read more

I'm glad chicha opened up another spot! I'm a fan of their high mountain oolong. It's very refreshing. Even better - this location has online ordering! However I placed my order and got a text confirmation so I assumed I would get one when it was ready. I did not. And the store didn't call out my order number. Turns out my drinks sat on the side for maybe 15-20 mins :/ so definitely ask about your order if you place it online! The ambiance is super cute here and less crowded than the SG location. There are a couple tables to chill at but not too much space. read more

The cool thing about this location is they do a 20 minute tea tasting experience! Wish you could try more than 1 tea for the experience though. Parking available in free public lots! read more

We came here on a Saturday and the line was packed. It was about a 15-20 minute wait to place our orders and another 20 minutes for the drinks to be made. We ordered the peach oolong tea and the passionfruit green tea. If you like drinks with a more concentrated, natural brewed taste, this is definitely the spot. The inside has a handful of seating but the store is shaped more like a long rectangle that goes deeper in so when it's crowded, it can definitely feel more congested and packed. read more

Happy to see this soft opening of this place since it's definitely a lot shorter to wait to order. Place is clean and vibrant bright color. The chairs are missing but reason why is the line for ordering will block that emergency egress. I would suggest moving the benches down further inside to make more waiting line space with sign holders. I ordered the oolong and toppings which was refreshing during the October heat. Will come back again but definitely work on the bottleneck of the drink qc. The taping prolly isn't necessary on the cup read more

I'm so happy we now have this in Alhambra! This new location is much bigger than its other locations. We got the Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Mango and Coconut Jelly and the Peach Dong Ding Oolong with Mousse. The oolong tea is excellent and if you love tea, you will definitely enjoy the drinks. Probably wouldn't get the coconut jelly (which is pineapple flavored) next time since the sweetness was overpowering the taste of the tea. The line moves quickly and we got our drinks in around 10 mins. They were busy but service was great! read more

I've had Chicha San Chen a few times and tried different drinks, including their osmanthus oolong with honey, peach dong ding oolong tea, and creamy pineapple tart. The Alhambra location didn't have a huge line, service was fast. You can also order online if you don't want to wait. This location looks larger than the other locations, very clean and nicely decorated! Osmanthus oolong tea with honey: 4/5. The oolong was perfectly balanced, without a strong astringent flavor, and the tea wasn't overly sweet. Peach dong ding oolong tea: 2/5. I wasn't a big fan of this drink. It was too sweet for me, and I didn't care much for the peach bits. Creamy pineapple tart: 4/5. This is non-caffeinated and features a creamy foam with salted egg. When mixed with milk, pineapple juice, and pineapple bits, it tasted just like a Chinese pineapple tart. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this drink. read more

Chicha San Chen is a Taiwanese boba store with locations throughout Asia and California. The main store is in San Gabriel, although I would occasionally stop by here after going to the Costco in Alhambra. This store is much bigger than the San Gabriel location. Parking is usually found throughout the various parking lots in the area. This store has a kiosk where you can place the order. Wait time was about 35 minutes from placing the order. I came in what I thought was a slow time, but the people before me had multiple drinks per order. Drink Quality: Very mild. On the lighter side. I like how they gave the option to use cream instead of milk in the milk tea, gives it a unique flavor. A- Price: Expensive. Approximately 7.25 plus tax for the drink. Upper-end of the market, and the store is not marketing towards price-conscious consumers. But here, they make the tea to order, so you have to factor that in as well. B+ Ambiance/Service: Workers were very nice considering the amount of drinks they made before me. However, I noticed that they were lining up all the drinks on the counter and using only one of the two or three available blenders. Since the blending is the slowest step, I would have at least two blenders and two staff at that station on at all times until the rush is over. There really doesn't need to be two people manning the pickup counter. B/B- Overall Rating: B+. One of my favorite milk tea shops in the SGV, with more parking available than the San Gabriel location. I really appreciate the made-to-order model and I will spend more to see my drink freshly made instead of being poured out of a jug. However, the service today was a bit slower than I expected from this store. Would I come back: Yes. Just make sure to come during off-peak times read more

I only ever get peach green tea cuz it's reliably good. I'm not a big fan of their milk teas. Quicker to order in person than to order online (online orders take 25 min). Free parking structure across the street. My favorite location because it's so spacious. WiFi doesn't work but there's outlets. Free taste testing in the afternoon at the hours. read more

I got the creamy mango tart and the ding dong oolong tea. Ding Dong Oolong Tea with added grass jelly (1/5) -Maybe it's the light sweet but the milk tea tastes like it's been diluted with water Creamy Mango Tart (4/5) -Compared to the oolong tea, this was a lot more refreshing and flavorful. -Tastes like a mango flavored Hi-Chew -Doesn't have any toppings like mango fruit to chew on unfortunately Overall, as this is one of the pricier boba shops in the area, I would not come back but look for other alternatives. The Oolong tea at the San Gabriel location wasn't as diluted as the Alhambra one. read more

/)/) ( . .) ( づ honestly...probably the best TEA in 626 or even La. Nothing beats San chens balance of fruit and freshness or their tea. It's really crazy. Boba is also chewy and fresh. No bitterness of the tea because it's brewed fresh everytime you order. You can really taste the quality here! My favorite is their green tea with mango. No one does mango green tea boba as good as San Chen trust me...because I've tried to find a cheaper alternative but it's almost impossible... Only downside is the PRICE. So pricey but so good drinks are also one size meaning small... Also I like this location the most so far because it's bigger with more seating. The colors and lighting is so inviting and calm. You can sit down and enjoy your boba which I like. read more

4.5 rounded to 5. I appreciate the mobile ordering and large space compared to the original location. I've been obsessed with the condensed milk series and it's the perfect level of sweet while balancing the tea flavors. The boba is always chewy and a great add to the drink. I crave the drink weekly!! read more

Saw they had a soft opening so we stopped by to grab some drinks. Be prepared to wait as they brew the tea on the stop and there are a lot of people. We ordered the regular bubble milk tea and the oolong tea. The bubble milk tea was pretty good. It has good flavors and the bubbles were really soft. The oolong tea tasted like fresh tea. It not as sweet as we like but it was still good. read more

Yuuuuuummy!!!!!!!! Had a major boba milk tea craving, so I had the bright idea to make a trip to this spot after a workout. I parked in the free structure behind the building and I came around 1:30pm on a Thursday and wow the structure was pretty busy to my surprise! Currently, they have a "soft opening" sign, but the menu offering was expansive and they seemed to have a good amount of staff to handle a busy day. The ordering process was easy as everything is listed out in steps. I ordered a regular Boba Milk Tea which has the cream already mixed in. I chose regular sugar and ice, and my goodness! As soon as I started drinking this, I couldn't stop. On my way back to my car, to my demise, half of my drink DISAPPEARED! (i wonder where it went ) The drink itself was not too sweet, boba somehow tasted like MARSHMALLOWS with the perfect QQ. The milk tea was OH SO creamy, but the tea flavor was still able to shine through! I will be saving this spot as a serious treat for me! This spot is really spacious! A bit too spacious as they haven't filled it up yet, but I assume it gets busier later in the day and weekends, so there's plenty of room to wait and some seats as well. Also, such a great location with SO MANY FOOD OPTIONS! Be sure to come here after you eat for a nice sweet treat! read more
