Finally a solid, reliable, and consistent boba shop with quick service!…read moreWe ordered their mango slush and oreo slush and both were very delicious! The golden boba that came with the mango slush had a nice texture and complimented the mango flavoring, which was very refreshing. The oreo was creamy and tasted like a milkshake. We were very satisfied. We came back a second time and the drinks came out the same. Delicious.

My entire group of friends had extremely low expectations for this place, but BOY WE WERE…read morePLEASANTLY SURPRISED. Very funny, but if you squint really hard. The logo looks like Chagee, the pink is reminiscent of Molly Tea, the fake olive tree is very Cha Redefine, and if I think really hard, the white pampas grass is Toro Tea. Or maybe I'm just schizophrenic, but it was an observation that I made to everyone. I believe ages ago this used to be a Happy Lemon, so this is an insane shift and change in what they offer and the vibes. It's very chill and a great place to hang out, catch up, or study and get work done. Lots of outdoor seating and a good amount of tables and small seating inside too. Ordering is done through a touchscreen kiosk and the drinks come out decently quickly too. Very efficient and friendly service. I got the: 1) Jade Peach Oolong Milk Tea: -I got this with no additional sugar and it automatically comes with their matcha tofu. Super unique and yummy topping. -Delicious white peach flavor, creamy and strong finishing tea taste. Reminds me of all of the aforementioned tea franchise heavy hitters that I know and love. Mai can hold its own. Without additional sweetness, this drink didn't end up tasting watered down or bland, which is super impressive. 2) Double Matcha: -I got this with their organic milk and it's their matcha on top of a matcha cream foam. I got this with no additional sugar (not recommend LOL), but I wanted to really see the quality of their matcha seeing how they won best matcha award and they're somehow in the same vicinity as Yamari. -If anyone even reads my reviews, I use a scaling method to rank matcha. If it's good matcha it's either a Yamari type or an Airoma type, and this scales much closer to Airoma, but it is VERY strong matcha. -This was actually the first time my friend and I got poisoned (like nauseous) from the matcha, meaning it's super high quality and strong. Never had this happened before, so you know that this is the good stuff. It might have been since it was a long day without dinner, or we might have needed it to be sweeter, but I can see why they won their award. I took a sip of my friend's Phin Drip Black Coffee and the Bac Xiu Marble Drip Iced Latte. Delicious coffee flavor without that "sourness" that some coffees have and even without added sweetness, it's not gross and bitter. I got some coffee to go for my dad and brother and they loved it too. We need one of these in the 626. New fav for the area. Definitely want to come back to try more drinks and maybe some of their pastries too.

One of the first things I noticed is that their tv screen menu only showed photos of the drinks and didn't have the price listings. Nevertheless despite not having the prices listed, it was nice to be able to have a visual of what their drinks looked like. It was the Pink Perks Iced Coffee that caught my eye. I couldn't help noticing the pretty in pink drink and the barista described it to me as a strawberry latte. I found the Pink Perks Iced Coffee to be refreshing drink. It had just the right coffee flavor with a hint of strawberry. I was hoping for a bit more strawberry sweetness but it was still nonetheless a good drink. Overall I was happy to visit and discover this little coffee shop.

I had the taro milk tea and floral milk tea both with boba. The taro milk tea was mostly milk with sprinkles of taro flavor and spots of tea. The floral milk tea had a slight flowery taste and was bitter. The boba they have is perfectly fine though. Neither of those really make the cut for me. In my opinion, it's not worth it for people who love milk tea. Maybe their coffee is better, but I don't care much for their milk teas at all.

Staff was friendly, place was a little messy but to be expected due to the amount of business. Seating was not difficult to find, and the parking lot was full so we parked on a nearby residential street. Side note: they had a bunch of gems that we could stick onto the cups, not sure if this is an everyday or seasonal offering but it was such a thoughtful touch!

Most recently I got the mango sticky matcha and it's good marine need more of their mango sticky rice because once mixed the flavor is muted. I tried the turon and it's just alright. Felt like it didn't showcase the turon flavor. The Amari signature is a classic you can't go wrong and the Vietnamese coffees. They have additions you can add such as boba and I want to say I got it before and the texture was good but I may have to try again.

La Cha x The Bowl is a Korean tea shop in the South Bay that also serves lunch and dinner rice…read morebowls. La Cha x The Bowl currently has a second location in Hawthorne in addition to this flagship location in Torrance. The shop is known for its viral cracking chocolate shell boba cup. [Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).

First of all, I'm not even sure if the taro is freshly made because there was absolutely NO texture or taro pieces in the drink. Nothing about it tasted or felt like fresh taro. On top of that, it was insanely sweet -- like overwhelmingly sweet -- and apparently the sweetness can't even be adjusted. If you're going to make a taro drink this sweet and not allow customers to adjust the sugar level, at least the taro itself should be good. This wasn't. I genuinely don't understand the hype. For the price, there are so many better milk tea shops around LA. Very disappointed and definitely will not be coming back.

It did not disappoint, Roberto O. took my order and he pretty much suggested what to get as far as a sandwich (based upon my restrictions) and the chips that would complement the sandwich. He recommended the Firebird sandwich and the Funky cushion chips (which is a mixture of salt/vinegar, mesquite BBQ, etc.). After receiving my order, I wanted to view the sandwich and take a bite. I was parked in the 15 minute parking space and one bite turned into eating half the sandwich and bag of chips in my car! I'm very picky about sandwiches and sandwich spots, but this is my new go-to!
