FIRST visit: *…read moreFARE(S) feasted on: *** Jasmine tea (pure, no sugar) *** Matcha jasmine latte * FRIENDLY service: Yes * FRESH air seating outside? 1 table * FEATURES: 12 small tables inside lining wall & store-front window side; 1 bathroom inside * FAIR pricing: Yes * FEE processing: None. Kiosk or cashier ordering * FREE parking: Yes, only 4 car spots right in front (teeny lot), or open street parking on the sides * FYI: A bit chaotic on arrival - there seemed to be no distinct lines upon entering to place order and no large back-wall menu easily discernible while waiting. But basically: 1 line for kiosk ordering, 1 line for cashier ordering. Pickup area shares same long cashier counter and again, bit chaotic... they didn't call out order names either so you had to ask. Loud ambience with music. Visit was on late afternoon, weekend. Drinks were enjoyable. FOUR & 1/2 stars **** '

I came on a Sunday evening and the shop was pretty empty. The staff seemed to be working on a few…read moreorders for food apps though. I'm not sure if the people working that day were new, but that was kind of the vibe I got based on my experience. I ordered a Osmathus Rice Mochi Frost using the tablet near the counter, and then sat down to wait for my order. Quite some time passed, and I noticed people that came after me were getting their orders. I went up to the counter to ask about mine, and the worker seemed confused and said it'll be a moment. I sat back down, and shortly after got a notification that the table I was waiting for at a nearby restaurant was ready. I went back to the counter to check on my order, and that's when one of the staff members told me that it'll be 10 more minutes because they ran out of something. At that point I told them I needed to leave, and they offered to make me another drink. I said ok, whatever you can make fast - so they whipped up a osmanthus rice milk tea pretty quickly. The drink itself was surprisingly good! Smooth, flavorful and fragrant, and the little bits of rice added a pleasant texture to the drink. It was a bit too sweet for my liking because they made it at 100%, I would choose 50% next time. Overall I'd consider trying a different Ben Gong location in the future because the drink itself was worth getting again. The service here was definitely lacking though.

It tasted non artificial and I got 50% and it was still decently sweet. Creamy and not too overpowering as well. I just wish they had some food or mini bites, but overall a great study space or yap place with friends :)

So unfortunate that this boba shop is closing down very soon. I have been visiting ever since it…read morefirst opened and really like some of the drinks here. The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

I love the Oolong tea from here and the variations that they offer have all been very good. I especially like the Pomelo Oolong Tea ($6.49), which is a nice change from the grapefruit that they offer. I also like the Lemon Green Tea with Green Tea Jelly ($5.99) and Kumquat Lemon ($6.59) from here. Service here is great - people are friendly and helpful. I just love everything about this place and wish they opened one in Orange County closer to me. :)

After a couple visits there, I realize that I like the black tea latte with 50% sugar. It's very nice that changing the ice and alternative milk options do not cost extra, like many of the other special tea places. Having a reward program is a nice bonus. Looks like I found a new place to be loyal to :D

They have a modest selection of boba tea and snacks such as popcorn chicken. I made a quick stop by to grab their Strawberry Jasmine Green tea x Sakura boba. It was light and refreshing. Their popcorn chicken was decent bit crispier than most popcorn chicken in the entire valley. I won't it order again. Staff was nice, attentive and professional. Plenty off seats but most are occupied by young people playing mind craft cards or something. Overall, it's a decent tea shop.
