    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

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 ended up here because the first cafe I went to on labor day was closed. I did not know chun yang was part of the food court until I arrived. I was delighted to find that there were tons of tables around to sit, eat, and study. There are some power outlets around the dining area if you look carefully. Upon arrival, I did walk around to see what other food options are here. When I was ready to order i had some questions since it was my first time. With the help of one of the employees, I decided to do a black milk tea with tapioca mochi. The ice level and sweetness was spot on. Although I usually like my drinks on the sweet side, their regular sweetness was good. I stayed for about 2 hours to read and noticed they have a good amount of bulk orders. Some customers come in with big bags or even coolers to pack their drinks. The employees work fast and I saw they even went above and beyond and packed some ice in the cooler for their customer. The drink and service was pretty decent so before leaving I was fine with ordering another drink to try. This time I wanted a fruit tea. I decided to get the pineapple oolong. The worker made the tea as usual but let me try it to adjust the sweetness level. We decided to add on 50% more sweetness but I do have to say their regular sweetness was also good. After trying 2 drinks, I do think they have their recipe down as their drinks were well made. Now I know another place nearby when I want refreshing boba drinks. The big dining area with food options make it a place one can certainly stay for a few hours.

There's a reason Torotea has expanded so much! I'm not the biggest fan of the Diamond Bar location purely because of the line, so I'd recommend trying one of their other locations if you don't want to wait as long. You can also order online on weekdays to avoid the line, but there is a small online fee. Also shoutout to whoever designed their shops because they absolutely killed the boho vibes. Super cute inside and the perfect place to wait for your drink. There isn't much of a seating area to chat given the line and large volume of traffic. Overall, as I can't emphasize any further, JASMINE OOLING WITH MOCHI JELLY.
