    This is by far the cleanest taste tea place I have ever been. The quality of the tea that they brew is delicious. Your tea experience if brewed to order. Their boba milk tea is so good, not on the sweet side. The workers are so friendly and they'll give you suggestions based upon your liking. The place is clean and neat. I have been back 3 times in a month. That's how I really appreciate their teas. Packaging is nice, there's like a little holder for your drink. Super cute.

    Briefly in the area, recommended by a friend who said everything at CHICHA San Chen is good. Cream mango tart (5/5): the flavor of the tea which is espresso pressed is aromatic and balanced. The cream top, which they recommend you sip halfway before swirling into your drink, also very good quality and not overpowering. Not airy at all, flavorful too. Lastly, the mango part tastes fresh like pressed juice and the whole drink really came together. I almost ordered taro balls with mango, but CHICHA San chen really cares about curating flavor and the staff member let me know they don't offer that option because they discovered those flavors cancel out. I would trust them in the future to have amazing quality drinks. The menu on the TVs have small font that's harder to read until you're up next in line. Excellent service, they give drink of the day to sample, and nice well decorated interior.

    Yeah, there is a Chica San Chen spot located in Chino. It's in a small plaza but at the time I went it had plenty of parking. The inside of the store is small but the taste of this tea is so delicious. I love coming to any of these tea stores to enjoy a nice cup of tea. Today though I ordered the creamy mango tart which has bold flavors but I truly did enjoy it. They have many different unique toppings if you want to add them like boba and jellies. But for me, I just kept it simple. The service was so fast and overall I took it Togo but there are some seats and tables in here that no one was using.

    Service was very friendly. No one was there but I was sourced at how hot inside was! The cassia green tea with honey was their welcome drink, it was very yums I got a cassia black milk tea w cream and taro balls, half sweet I would come back again

    Perfect, as always! This is my sister's and my favorite boba franchise. Their drinks and boba are consistently tasty, and they never disappoint. The service and quality are always amazing, and we're so glad that they have a reward system now! Literally everything on the menu is super tasty, but I recommend getting their mango and honey flavors in any of the teas! This place gives you a lot more boba for $1, whereas other places charge you nearly $1 for barely any boba. * Mango Green Tea: 10/10 - nice and tart * Honey Osmanthus Oolong Tea: 10/10 - light and not too sweet * Bubbles (Topping): 10/10 - soft and chewy, huge portion The interior is very nice and quite spacious. We went pretty late at night, so it was pretty empty when we got there. We didn't have to wait too long, and the workers were pretty nice. It's located in the Edison Promenade plaza, so parking can get crowded at peak times. Can't wait to come back!

    11 of 10 for presentation alone!!! Adorable!!!! Ordered the seasonal flavor, pineapple honey tea. Normal sweetness and light ice. It was perfect. Looking forward to my next visit

    Mango tea with boba

    Pros: Great location with ample parking Took advantage of the Pillow promotion - buy 3 drinks and follow their social media Beautiful decor Quality teas - the drinks reflect this and are fantastic Mango tea with boba was flavorful and boba cooked perfectly Cons: A bit pricier than the average boba shop in the area, but the quality of the tea makes it worth it Must order via kiosk Pro tip: If you are looking for a quality boba drink, go here and spend a little extra for a better drink. You won't regret it!

    First time here! Was craving boba and found this place on Yelp after I got some grocery shopping done. First, to review the boba-- The boba is delicious! Texture is good with the right amount of chewiness to it. It was cooked to perfection. The tea is also yummy. I had a regular milk tea with 50% sweet and less ice. The thing that shocked me was the price point- it was kind of expensive .. $8+ for a drink. I did a grab and go. Service was ok. Store is clean. Ample space to hang out and catch up with friends.

    This place has been on my radar for a while and I'm glad I finally got to try it. The cafe is very bright and clean. The menu is pretty simple. I tried their seasonal drink the grape tea with conjac jelly and my partner tried their mango tea with boba. I typically don't like my drinks very sweet so I got it with less sugar. The aroma of the tea was insane in both drinks. Both drinks were so fragrant and you can actually appreciate the taste of tea. Even with 100% sweetness of the mango tea it wasn't overwhelmingly sugary and sweet so it was perfect for me. The boba was perfect texture. Everything about this place was so done meticulously and had the best experience. The service was excellent, too. I can't wait to come back to try different tea from here in the near future!!

    I enjoy the Iced Grape Tea with Konjac and the Iced Peach Oolong Tea with Konjac. Both are refreshing and not too sweet. The staff are welcoming, and helpful in answering questions. Always moving, prepping and making the drinks timely and with precision. The place is kept clean and spacious. Love the drink sleeve caddies!

    Cassia Tea, Green Tea

    This is our 3rd ChiCha to try. Much better location. Larger area with more place to sit but only 1 table. Service was fast during off hours. Not as crowded as the other two-San Gabriel and Rowland Height. Teas always fresh brewed and taste good, 5 stars. The feedback is why one size only.

    Wanted to try this boba place out and their packaging is so aesthetic!! Ordered their passion fruit green tea with coconut jelly and it was so refreshing. Definitely found my new spot in the IE

    First time coming to this new CHICHA san chen branch and it was nice and spacious! They gave a sample of their tea to try. They also have an area where you can do complimentary tea tasting. Overall nice space and great designs! You pick a tea base, an option flavor and optional topping. What I love about them is they hand brew each cup to order. I really enjoy strong flavor teas so the way they espresso brew each cup to the exact measurement really bring out the flavor! My group got their award winning green tea with mango, cassia with cream and grass jelly topping, high mountain pouchong with passionfruit and boba, and a lemon condensed milk with mango. They were all great, clean refreshing taste! Their boba was nice and chewy, but their grass jelly didn't have too much flavor so I'd probably skip out on that next time. Definitely give this place a try if you like drinks with great tea flavor!

Parking is easy, but reversing is tight. Be careful finding parking and backing out. You have to go up the stairs in order to reach the store. It's not up a whole story, but you do not to go a bit higher than ground level. This store was open since 11 am. Upon coming in, they have Lunar New Year vibes and decor. Instead of ordering with the cashier, I ordered on the kiosk. I had chosen an almond milk tea with boba just to try out. The person making my drink was nice and suggested black tea instead of green tea, which I didn't mine. I received my drink and quickly left to drive back to work. Their almond milk tea is subtle. Much water, less tea, and barely any almond taste. Their boba is chewy like taro or mochi jelly, but bland. Absolutely bland. So bland that I couldn't really fathom finishing my drink. I didn't reach the halfway mark and just tossed the rest. I don't think I will be back. I should have stuck to my choices, because the boba and tea aren't good. Surprisingly when they have such high ratings. I'd rather spend my money on a different boba place.

I do agree that mixing the matcha/stirring it before pouring may have helped with the concentration of the matcha since it was already pre-made in a container.

Not all customers will react positively when being educated, but personally for me I like to learn about businesses and the situation I was in was a good opportunity to have that happen in person. I can confirm they gave me a full refund on the drink. I'll consider coming back and trying other drinks.

With a large parking lot calming any worries of finding parking, the shop is located at the front of the curb and even easier to spot given the Hanlin sign in black font hovering among the other establishments. The entrance is very open with an IG friendly bench below a neon sign to the right and a shining white counter sitting in front of you. It's easy finding a seat among the chairs that litter the space, especially by an outlet for all your devices. It was honestly surprising to find this almost being a cyber cafe as most other coffee shops, milk tea shops and others because they have a lot more considerations and food options to choose from. Especially being guided by the staff immediately upon the question of, "Have you been here before?" No! I haven't but I appreciated the fact that the service here is all about what is the best, what to expect and how to make the experience as smooth as possible. Thankfully it is easy finding something you'd like within the vast menu. Not to mention you'd also like the fact that everything is priced pretty average compared to most places around the area. It's still surprisingly to me finding a Taiwanese restaurant around this area but that's something that you come for especially price for price and pound for pound when it comes to portion and taste. Speaking of taste! The plum juice with boba was a good balance but lets not forget plum is definitely a certain bittersweet taste profile that isn't often enjoyed. It's a good reminder that you're having a subtle and healthy, fruity drink and still pairing it with the sweetness of boba. Now pair it with a small eats such as the popcorn chicken! Crispy basil residing in all the frizzled and well seasoned chicken and not to mention how juicy and tender the chicken is!

When she finally finished, she came to the counter with a horrible attitude asking what we wanted. My sister in law wanted a hot coffee and she refused to served it since the machine was "off" already. Then she proceeded to order a banana iced coffee (don't know the name) and again the lady refused to make it since it was one of their most "complicated" drinks to make. We ended up ordering two "quick and easy" ice drinks. We asked if she was working alone... this lady only had rude comments and answers to say (smart ass).

It is also very unfortunate that the Spanish Latte I ordered was delicious, BUT I will never be returning or recommending this place due to the horrible customer service. I have family in the coffee business and customer service is always a priority, not at this location. Very disappointed with whoever hired her and trained her.
