    Li Cha Mango Cloud, Popcorn chicken, Sweet Potato Fries, and Li Cha Oolong Milk Tea with boba
    Danielle P.

    My friend and I went thrifting next door and stumbled upon this place! We both thought it was T4, but I guess it's a new establishment now. Super clean and lots of tables for seating. Menu had a huge variety with familiar snacks like popcorn chicken, garlic fries, and sweet potato fries. There's refreshing teas, cloud series, smoothies, and milk teas available. Staff is nice! They offered free tea packets with fruity flavors like passion green tea just to try. I got the Oolong Milk Tea with boba at regular sweet, while my friend got the Mango Cloud with boba. For snacks, we shared the sweet potato fries and popcorn chicken. Popcorn chicken tasted similar as T4 with the basil, but lots of flavor! You can ask for cayenne powder and salt and pepper on the side. Sweet Potato Fries were crunchy and soft. The verdict was they gave a generous amount of food and it was tasty. However, the drinks were decent. I didn't taste much of an oolong tea flavor in the milk tea -- even at 100% sweet. Boba was only a bit soft & chewier than my liking, but had a nice flavor though! I did enjoy my friend's mango cloud, which was just fresh milk with mango puree. It was super yummy / not too sweet and would pair well with a matcha latte to be honest. I'd like to come back and try more of their drinks!

    This used to be T4 and now it is Li Cha Tea. I tried it for the first time today since the change. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday so it wasn't busy and I was able to immediately go up to the cashier. She was super nice and helpful asking me what tea base (Royal, Jasmine or Black) I wanted for the Almond Milk tea. She also helped answer my many questions, finding out for me, which tea had the less caffeine (Royal tea base) and which tea flavor matched the Almond the best (Jasmine tea base). And so we went with the Jasmine. I was very happy with how helpful they were! She also asked me if I needed a new stamp card which I did, so I was also really happy about that. This is because in my head I reminded myself to ask for a stamp card but from the time I parked up until my many questions and paying, you know this Mama had brain fog and forgot about getting my stamps! I also ordered the matcha milk tea, and with both drinks we got less sweet so 30% less sweet. 30 percent less sweet ended up being very effective as the level of sweetness was quite subtle. The boba was perfecto- sweet and chewy The inside is nice and clean! Also the bathroom was clean as well and had a credenza inside so you could set any bags down. Great location and will be back to try other drinks!

    Popcorn chicken, fries and Boba drinks

    I brought my daughter and a few of her friends for some treats. The manager and staff were very kind and gracious to us, service was exceptional. Food was hot and delicious, drinks were tasty and made quick. The claw machine was a bonus and the girls had a lot of laughs.

    White Peach Lemonade and popcorn chicken
    Vania C.

    I think out of all the T4 locations, this is my favorite one for quality and good service. It's about a 30 min drive for me, 2 cities over... but worth to me getting my favorite popcorn chicken and white peach lemonade. Parking here is fairly easy, there's always open spots. The free drink upgrade from first check in isn't redeemable (just to note per employee taking my order). Since T4 is a restaurant and my dog is not a service dog (sign or no sign), I didn't want to carry him in just so I can get my boba... demeans the jobs of trained service dogs. Normally I hate leaving my dog in the car without me there... but since I was already here and parked in sight (from within the restaurant) - I felt a few minutes wouldn't hurt with the windows cracked opened in the shade on a nice day (sat in the car a bit to make sure the baby wouldn't get hot quick). The employee taking my order helped me get everything ordered quick and even gave me a little cup of water to give to my pup, which I ended up sitting outside with him to wait for my order. Once my order was ready, the employee waved at me to let me know that I can run in (pup in a car again) to grab it. I definitely felt a irresponsible on my end, but since I drove out here...I really wanted the drink and a snack. There are rushes that come from to time, but drinks are made swiftly and with only 1 person running the front (looks to be an older man in the back) - everything is made within good time. The last visit, right after I ordered, there was a rush from the dance studio that probably just let out of class. I give them props for that. With some indoor seating, it's nice that we can sit and just chat with our snacks/drinks. The popcorn chicken here is my favorite as it's spiced very well - heavy on the pepper which is my preference. With the dipping sauce of a garlic aioli (extra $1.50), it goes perfect with the crispy hearty chicken. I don't ever see the white peach lemonade at other T4s - the only reason I'd drive out here for this specific shop. With sweet levels at 80% and 100% ice, it's the perfect refreshing balance of a drink to me. Final Thoughts: I only wish this T4 wasn't so out of the way for me, but whenever I'm in the area...it's a must to stop by here. With only 2 employees taking care of the shop (at least for my last visit), the service I give them 10 out of 10.

    white peach royal tea...
    Kartika H.

    i think this place was t4 before. the menu is a bit same but they sell lots of foods and snacks. staffs are ok. order white peach refresher and mango breeze refresher. not sure that it is white peach and mango. feel like the tea is not right, taste a bit sour for both drinks. according to them: they are using royal tea. the toppings which are crystal and regular boba are just ok. just two stars at this time for the drink quality...

    Lychee grn tea
    Kim T.

    I realllly wanted to love this T4 (always been a ran of the T4 chains) , but man they missed the mark on their tea at this spot . 1. parking: easy, in a big lot 2. service: friendly 3. Tea: ordered Jasmine Green Milk Tea, they must have heard me wrong b/c I didn't get the Milk tea OR the Jasmine. Luckily I ordered lychee jelly so it helped the drink. Just really hoping it was a mistaken order b/c if that was supposed to be the Jasmine, couldn't taste it.

    My partner and I always visit this T4 location since it's one of the few places in Livermore that have good boba. I like it here because the flavors are always consistent, so I always know what to expect. Like other T4 locations, they have a great variety of drinks and snack selections on the menu all at decently affordable prices. My typical order here is the Wintermelon Tea topped with Sea Salt Cream. My most recent visit, the sea salt cream was actually wayyy saltier than what I was used to and could've been a lot lighter IMO. But, mixing it with the rest of the drink made it easier. Service is friendly and drinks come out pretty quickly. Lots of parking in the plaza that it's located in too. Note: they tend to get super busy around the time the schools around the area finish for the day so plan your visit accordingly! Also - don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free size upgrade for your drink :)

    An overdue review for T4 Livermore's boba bar services! Okay, hear me out, boba snobs of the Bay. I know T4 isn't the hippest thing on the block anymore in terms of boba. But they made my wedding boba bar dreams come true WITHIN my budget!! Their team was so awesome with communication and was such a big hit for us. We repeatedly had people tell us that the boba bar was one of the best parts of our wedding. (The 110ºF weather may or may not have also had something to do with it...) Our boba bar came with our choice of four teas (Earl Grey milk tea, matcha milk tea, roasted oolong tea, and passion fruit royal tea) and three toppings (boba, coffee jelly, and lychee jelly). Our guests were able to choose which teas and toppings they wanted, which was the exact experience I wanted (versus buying a bunch of premade drinks and just handing them out). The T4 staff was so energetic and kept a smile on even in the sweltering weather, and we are so thankful that they were a part of our wedding day. Thanks, T4 Livermore!

    Tofu Bowl
    Alan D.

    My coworker and I wanted Milk Tea and whenever we work the weekends together, I treat her to milk tea. Today we tried T4. I ordered via DoorDash, so I cannot attest to the wait or how they are handling Covid situations. Earl Grey MT: This is very consistent for me. At 50% sweet, it still was sweet enough for me without being overwhelming. I truly enjoy this drink. 5/5 Tofu Bowl: Now, I don't know if it's because of something before I started eating this, but after I started, my body felt really weird. There was too much pepper on the tofu and some very distinct sauce that I am not too familiar with. Unfortunately, as I kept eating, it did not get better for me. My stomach was very upset at the end of the meal. I get a bit nauseous and it was difficult for me to keep working. I don't know what it is, but I just couldn't really stomach down what I ate. I would not recommend this bowl 1/5. Overall, I come here for the drinks (and the occasional popcorn chicken). But other than that, I wouldn't try anything else.

The skin is thin and tender, never doughy, allowing the filling inside to truly shine. Bursting with flavor, the filling is juicy, well-seasoned, and balanced--savory without being overpowering. Every bite delivers a comforting warmth, the kind that reminds you why dumplings are such a timeless, beloved dish. Whether dipped lightly into sauce or enjoyed on their own, they stand confidently as a highlight of the menu. What truly elevates these dumplings is the attention to detail. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the patience behind their preparation. They aren't rushed or mass-produced; they feel handmade, thoughtful, and authentic. The texture contrast between the soft wrapper and the flavorful filling creates a satisfying bite that keeps you reaching for "just one more." It's the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression and sets a high standard for everything else that follows. Then come the short ribs--undeniably the star of the table. Cooked to absolute perfection, the meat is so tender it literally falls off the bone at the slightest touch. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich and deeply flavorful, the result of slow cooking done right. The seasoning penetrates every layer of the meat, creating a depth of flavor that is both bold and comforting. There's no need for a knife here; the ribs surrender effortlessly, a true testament to the skill in the kitchen. The sauce glazing the short ribs deserves its own praise. It's beautifully balanced--savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly aromatic--clinging to the meat and enhancing its natural richness without overpowering it. As the ribs rest on the plate, they practically invite you in, filling the air with an irresistible aroma that makes waiting nearly impossible. Every bite is indulgent, satisfying, and deeply memorable. Together, the dumplings and the short ribs create a dining experience that feels complete and thoughtfully curated. One offers comfort and finesse, the other delivers bold, soulful richness. This is the kind of meal that stays with you long after you've finished, the kind you find yourself recommending to friends without hesitation. If you're looking for dishes that showcase true craftsmanship, heart, and flavor, the dumplings and fall-off-the-bone short ribs are absolute must-tries.

    Not impressed! In the Bay Area there are some fantastic Thai restaurants. Unfortunately this isn't…read moreone of them. Lanna's is a very run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant that is depending more on the Western concept and perception of a Thai restaurant rather than actually creating and serving true, high-quality Thai food. They're lazy and not trying very hard because they figure you don't know any better.
