    Found this restaurant using Yelp. It was another one of those weirdo craving nights I was craving Taiwanese popcorn chicken with rice dish. I actually phoned in my orders twice and took out those popcorn chicken dishes to go. Yummm. Next time I crave another, I'll drive back here for more Taiwanese dishes. The serving sizes were actually large enough for two meals. Very reasonable here and tasty. Parking was smooth right in the plaza, so there existed plenty of free parking.

    I came here primarily as a place to study, but I didn't realize that they also served a whole bunch of food items. I thought they only had drinks, but I'm glad I got to have a meal here before diving into my studies. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived and was offered suggestions with the menu since it was my first time. I was planning on getting the popcorn chicken or fried tofu, but I got excited and got hot pot instead with an iced oolong tea. To be honest, I really enjoyed the hot pot (Spicy broth), like way more than Boiling Point or any other hotpot in the area. The flavor wasn't too spicy, but was so flavorful. The toppings too were so savory and complemented the broth well. It's not super busy, so I was able to get a good spot. The music is a bit loud, but headphones fixed that issue. I liked that they had free Wifi, outlets, and big tables which was super convenient! Will definitely be coming back another time :)

    Service was great even though it was only one person in the front. Super cute yet simple look to it. Food was delicious I had asked for dry noodles with beef but ended receiving it as a stew instead. I didn't mind at the end, maybe I didn't make myself a little more clear on it. Regardless, this dish had great flavor and the beef was nice and tender. I got three different drinks *oreo *spring tea *passion fruit Loved the passion fruit my favorite, very refreshing. Spring tea was goo too but the oreo one was too sweet. I was told afterwards that you can actually ask to put less sugar on it if you wanted them to. Overall it was very good experience my first time trying Taiwanés noddles.

    Great yummy food! Warm customer service from the employees over the years. My family and I love their drinks & inside the store.

    This is the newest Hanlin Taiwanese tea shop locations in the Chino area with the original location in rowland. It's in a very random strip mall. It's next to the Robek/swimming school in the Mcdonald's plaza. If you're not familar Hanlin is a higher end tea shop from Taiwan that specializes in premium tea with quality ingredients. They were the first to develop the pearl milk tea in 1986. This location has spacious open seating in the interior. It's pretty much open seating. You can either order at the register or at the table for dine-in. This is our groups probably 3rd time at this location since its super easy to find a table here just to hangout for some drinks and snacks. The popcorn chicken is unique here in that they also fry whole cloves of garlic with the chicken so you get that extra burst of garlic flavor. No they aren't sliced potato wedges! For drinks the safe items are any of the milk teas or fruit tea items. The cheese foam drinks are just ok here also. Note they make the cheese cream per order but it's not much and not very salty compared to other tea shops. It seems to be cream based instead of cream cheese so not as sweet if that's your style. Not sure if this a training issue with this new location but that's not the usual flavor profile if you've had Hanlin from the Rowland location before.

    This place opened up recently, it's a cute Taiwanese cafe with a variety of rice and noodles dishes. I usually get the popcorn chicken ($7.95), theirs have roasted bits of garlic along with the chicken. Their seasoning is not too salty, the chicken is moist and the batter is not to thick. I also get the Spring milk tea ($4.50) for my usual, the tea taste is strong in it. The staff is nice and they have plenty of seating.

    Forgot to take a pic of my other food but this place was such a big hit! A constant flow of people for a Sunday afternoon. We came with our daughter and friend. We ordered... 1. Mala spicy tofu! It could be spicier! Not as flavorful 2. Beef noodle soup - very yum! Wish they only had a tendon version. Comes with beef, tendon, and sour mustard. The noodles are different almost Konjac course 3. Braised beef stew is similar to the beef noodle soup but with rice and tomato,egg,tofu 4. Popcorn chicken with fried garlic cloves 5. Braised pork dry noodles was a big hit with the kids 6. Boiled vegetables 7. Jade milk tea - they consider less ice, less sugar , and very accommodating! Great service!

    My son and I decided to try this Taiwanese cafe and tea house. Located in the Gordon Ranch center where the old Ralph's market used to be located. It's a clean and modern looking restaurant with both take out and a dine in area. There is a sign that says wait to be seated, but since it wasn't busy they just told us to sit anywhere. They took our order right away and the food came out pretty quickly Ordered the Braised Beef with Rice, the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, along with a Mango Green Tea and Oolong Tea Latte. The Braised Beef with Rice was pretty good and came with a side of corn and imitation crab. The Mango Green Tea was also good. The Oolong Tea Latte was iced and very good with Brown Sugar and had a boba like flavor. As expected it took a little longer for the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup to arrive . The flavor of the broth was average but some hot oil spiced it up nicely. The noodles are buckwheat and had a nice flavor and chew: Beef was tender, moist and flavorful. Lastly ordered the spicy tofu and popcorn chicken to go for the wife. Will have to update the review once I get her critique. Overall a four star experience. They lose a star because I wanted the Taro milk teas but they didn't have it. Will definitely come back again and give them another chance to get that fifth star.

    They won't give you milk, they'll give you something else that's like powder. I confirmed with the clerk that I needed milk, and then they changed the milk. They blamed me for not telling me it was fresh milk? What is milk tea? Don't you know it?

    The spiced pork with garlic sauce I ordered is delicious

    Dine in for Sunday lunch. We ordered Taiwanese sausage rice and 2 sides dishes are delicious

    Popcorn Chicken Rice
    James H.

    I recommend this place for pretty good milk tea, taiwanese comfort food and great service. The popcorn chicken was crispy and I really Loved the fried garlic they had with it. Portion size was good. Came with cabbage, tomato egg, and minced meat rice. The hot pot had a great clean broth that was very comforting. Good amount of meat and fish balls. Choice of rice or vermicelli noodles. They had other broth flavors like spicy taiwanese and sukiyaki. The sauces they served along side were pretty tasty. Sesame and a sweet garlic soy. The ambiance was chill and the service was amazing. I had two little ones and that could get hectic. They provided utensils for the kids and were very accommodating. Price was decent too especially for amount of food. When paying, our server allowed us time to set our tip by walking away which was thoughtful and nice. We'll be coming back again to dine in and maybe try to go too. I'll be recommending this spot to friends and family as I want this to stick around our community.

    I didn't have anything at home to eat for dinner and I didn't want to drive out either, so my options for food were pretty limited. In fact, my only choices were between McDonalds, Indian, or Hanlin Tea Room. They have a pretty limited food menu but they have all the staples like minced pork, Taiwanese sausage, etc. I decided to go with their popcorn chicken with rice. My to-go order took about 5-10 min or so for it to come out which wasn't too bad. Their popcorn chicken is honestly one of the best I've had in a really long time. Each chicken piece was super juicy and tender, while all maintaining their crispness. I got mine in medium spice and tbh it was a little too spicy for me. Next time, I'll probably go mild! My only reason for taking a star off is because they forgot to include sweet and sour sauce with my order :( Other than that, I would probably have given them a solid 5 stars. I haven't gotten a chance to try their drinks yet, but will definitely make another trip down soon!

    Truly one of the best boba spots in Chino Hills!…read more Every drink is made with such care, It's clear that a lot of pride goes into what they serve! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It's more than just a local boba shop, it's a space that brings people together. Joanna consistently demonstrates exceptional dedication and commitment in everything she undertakes. Seeing her dedication is reflected through to the quality of the drinks, thoughtful service, and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Her wholehearted approach and strong work ethic truly make her deserving of recognition. If you're looking for a refreshing drink made with genuine care, this is the place to go!

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.

Absolutely love Avocado mango sweet dew -never thought mango and avocado but it was a surprisingly good mix Mochi barley burst -usually not a fan of popping boba but this was different and quite satisfying -did wish the tea flavor was stronger -not to sweet but still a good balanced drink that I enjoyed Overall: -if you want something different than you normally boba shops this is the place to go! Highly recommend!

A child near my table was having a tantrum, and an employee politely asked the parents to take the child outside until things had calmed down. Since many customers were there to work or study, I thought that was handled well. The girl who took my order was also incredibly kind.
