    Strawberry smoothie
    Sean S.

    A great grab-and-go spot in The Runway. This is the sister store to Dan Modern Chinese, located just a stone's throw away in The Runway. While Dan's focuses on modern Chinese dishes, this spot started out centered on boba, smoothies, and beverages. The space is super small, built for takeout only. What's smart is that they've added some of Dan's small appetizer plates, like dumplings and noodles, so you can grab a quick bite and head to the park with your family. Super convenient for the area. The smoothies are really solid in my opinion, definitely worth coming back for. I'm still on the fence with boba, but there's enough variety on the menu to keep me returning.

    Small operation, 3 two seater benches inside, 2 self service kiosks, and 2 staff working the operations. Not sure on the food part though (didn't try)! Ambiance is their playlists (cool songs) with cream and light green walls. Come try it if you're craving boba in the area!

    This is what it looked like at the bottom AFTER I tried to mix it up when it was full!

    Worst matcha latte I've ever had. I took a sip and was surprised to feel chunks in it and it was room temp. I picked it up when the app said it would be ready so it should have been hot. I opened the lid and there were clumps of matcha as if it was not whisked properly. There were also small white flecks floating in it which I think is just from a poor choice of oat milk. I didn't order any toppings so it should have been smooth. Waste of $9.

    FRESH INGREDIENTS! Hidden gem, right next to Starbucks. I was surprised by my amazing server from Dan Modern Chinese, which is right at the corner. She recommended the brew teas and the passion fruit was sooo good! I was intrigued by the RASPBERRY MATCHA. Which is made with real puree!

Luckily the barista was nice enough to make our drinks x2 because we missed the sign above the kiosk saying "No Large cups". It was our mistakes for missing the note, but who runs a business and runs out of cups? The second time we passed by like ooo okay there's no sign they have cups, we were told no drinks except green tea. The way it looked was things were cleaned up ahead of time and nothing was able to be made and the mall closed in like an hour. Just shut the whole day down then, the way we were yelled at when we walked up instead of just saying "hey we apologize we only have green tea available" but no it was "We only have green tea." as she was on her phone like we interrupted her. The third and last time we will ever interact with this business was through UberEats. The store decided to cancel on their end because they ran out of aloe vera. Make that make sense. Not only were we not contacted, just make the drinks without aloe vera and be done, nope they decide let's just cancel the whole order, that didn't show up on my end. So you're telling me to cancel so I can get charged? Ha, you think I'm stupid? Absolutely not. If they supposedly canceled my order I should see that on my end, nope they claimed it was UberEats' fault. Huh? My order is still active on my side. Two poor drivers who were super sweet had to deal with them. Disgusting. Honestly just shut the whole place down. Chagee opened up and there's a new boba spot coming soon. I'll visit them. Don't waste your money here. Awful business practice. Terrible way to run a business. Fake syrup flavors anyway.

As soon as we walked into the shop, we were greeted and asked what we would like to order. The 2 young gentlemen made suggestions and informed us of Boba Guys, popular drink orders and what customers label as their favorite specialty drinks. This fist time visit we ordered the Strawberry Fields, Dirty Banana Milk and Ube Latte. All 3 drinks were delicious and not too sweet. Strawberry Fields was yummy and you can taste the strawberries yet it's not tangy. Dirty Banana Milk was excellent and has such a unique taste. The banana flavor was great and wasn't overpowering the latte. Ube Latte was delicious. You can taste the ube syrup and not taro. We can't wait to come back and try other food items on Boba Guys menu.

I was impressed when we stepped in and saw them hand mixing some sort of concoction, possibly their house made Hojicha? I ended up getting the Hojicha latte and it was delightful. Not too sweet but not too bitter either, perfectly toasty. My only nit is that it's suuuuper tiny, so no indoor seating aside from what is offered at Platform (which isn't much). Not over on this side of LA often anymore but would recommend to anyone who is if you're in need of a quick boba pit stop! Easiest parking is probably just in the Platform structure.

    My eldest daughter got her coffee from Chamberlain Coffee. I wanted to get my tea drink from Chagee…read moreModern Tea House. Both located at Westfield Century City Mall. WOW, one of the busiest spots at the mall! Atmosphere was a bit congested with so many people sitting and standing around. It was hard for me to picture this place in its quiet and peaceful space. They have special merchandise and tea for purchase. Extremely long line all the way out the front door. Once we got closer up to the counter, it went swiftly. Since it was our first time at Chagee, I asked the young gentleman for his recommendations. He suggested Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte was one of their most popular drinks so that's what I got. Thank you young man! My daughter wanted to try the Chagee DayDream Frozen Blended so that's what she got. I know she already got coffee, but there's always room for more. I was surprised the prices were so very reasonable. I thought their prices would be higher based on their high end tea name brand. Another WOW, I was impressed with the unique and exquisite flavor of the tea in my drink. It was quite delightful and addicting to say the least. I loved it! My daughter loved her blended drink, too. A+ for both! Here is the not so WOW part... wait time was a bit long due to the busyness. Also I asked for a bag to store both drinks. The young lady said sure. She opened the pretty designed blue bag and handed it to me. I was shocked by her behavior... such lack of service IMHO. I would have expected her to place my drinks in the bag. I guess not. I bagged them myself. All good. Hence, minus 1 star! Thanks Chagee for staying true to your well crafted tea creations at very reasonable prices! But please work on your customer service. The full tea experience deserves excellent service first and amazing teas second.
