    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!

    I really liked: Taiwan oolong milk tea…read more Ube creme brulee Egg tarts The Taiwan oolong milk tea is excellent. The boba is perfectly chewy and flavorful. The ube crème brûlée flavor is light but smooth, a subtle treat that pairs nicely with the tea. The egg tarts are outstanding. Perfectly sweet with a silky smooth consistency that makes them a must-try #goodeats item. Really sad this place is closing down at the end of the year. Definitely a better than average bubble tea shop. Service is pretty normal, and the space is small. Most people get their orders to go, but you can sit if you want. The interior feels like a renovated small Starbucks. No restroom, so plan accordingly.

But they really did a good job with bringing the Ube flavor out. I think it's because they used like a form of Ube cream or foam at the top and the lattes itself was Creme brulee flavor. I want to come back again try the other drinks. Their boba character mascot is pretty cute, I considered buying one of the plushies to take home. The place is in a great location because it's central to the shops and eateries of culver city. The server was a nice girl, she was pretty quick too even though she was working the front on her own. This is a good place to hangout and relax or spend the day working remotely. But not like a coffee shop that would be suitable for students because it might a bit noisy when theres a lot of people inside.

There's also seating now, which I don't think there was before! I got the Mango Grapefruit Book this time, and it was not too sweet! There's a really strong mango and coconut flavor, though the grapefruit can be a little bitter. The service worker there was also very kind and answered a lot of my and the other guests' questions. I definitely think this location is worth checking out! For a parking tip, park at the Beverly Hills Public Parking garage down the street. It's one hour free!

    So glad that this location opened up in Beverly Hills. It's located right on Rodeo Drive, so…read moretraffic in the area can get pretty packed, but I haven't had any issues finding parking in the structure directly behind the store. There is also some street parking available, though it can be a bit difficult to find an open spot. Service at this location is okay, sometimes good and friendly and other times not so much. It doesn't bother me too much since I don't interact with them very often though. I usually order online and pick up at the counter, which I find much more convenient. Recently, I believe they extended the delivery area on the map to LA, but I haven't gotten the chance to try that out yet. They often run offers and promotions on their app, so I definitely recommend ordering online. You can also add a sticker to your cup when ordering online (if you draw your own it takes about a day to get it approved)! The interior is pretty small, so more of a grab-n-go, and it has a nice modern, clean aesthetic. The drinks are consistently pretty great! My go‑to orders are the Mango Coconut Boom and the Mango Grapefruit Boom. Super refreshing and fruity and the grapefruit adds a little tart, sour kick to the mango. I also really like the Triple Supreme Matcha and I recently tried the new seasonal King Jasmine Guava, and it wasn't bad at all too (the stickers are also super cute). Overall, really happy that this location opened, and the drinks are super good and keep me coming back.

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.

They had flavors like melon tea, rice-scented tea, and various types of oolong, red, black, and green teas. I was so excited when Chagee opened up and started expanding in LA. I finally stopped by while at the Century City mall, and the inside of the shop is very similar to the ones in China. Modern with classic tea house elements, easy app ordering, and a screen showing how many orders they're working on and which orders are ready for pickup. Staff were generally friendly. Sadly, Chagee got Americanized whether due to market popularity or logistics with getting certain teas in the US, couldn't tell ya. They have 1 of each type of tea: jasmine, oolong, black, Ceylon. You can add milk or add lemon lol. The teas are great and very fragrant--I don't know what determines what kind of cup an iced tea or tea latte comes in (their standard Chagee cup or a ridiculously large plastic cup, maybe 20oz)--the regular cups with the triple straw is the best. The big cups make me feel like I'm glugging half a gallon of milk.

Specifically the large size with less sugar and whole milk. I've tried their other teas (which are also delicious) but enjoy this one the most! I love the rich tea flavor. International Tea Day was May 21, 2026, and every large Boya came with two complimentary jasmine green tea sachets too! It was a nice bonus! If you haven't tried Chagee yet, you have to!
