    Creme Brûlée Iced Chai Latte.
    Dawne F.

    You had me at CHAI. This popular hot spot boasts beautiful murals and neon signs in the ample indoor seating as well as in the lush outdoor patio seating with a fire pit and Instagram-worthy wall. This artisanal boba tea and pastry shop is where genuine hospitality and carefully curated beverages create a local gathering place that feels like home. Meeko crafted my Iced Masala Chai Milk Tea, which was creamy and not overly sweet. She was so helpful in answering all of my questions as I've never had a Mochi Donut before and it was just as it should be...fluffy, moist and chewy. Thank you, SuzyQ & Patrick, for treating me to Mama Chai!

    Best tea I've had and this is coming from someone who absolutely loves visiting new cafes and boba. I tried the Dan Chong Ya Duck Sh*t tea (yes this is a real item on the menu). The tea was extremely flavorful, unique, and delicious. The vibe inside is super clean and relaxing, would not mind spending an afternoon here with a date or to study. Service was great, the cashier was friendly, knowledgeable and everything came out quickly. If you love teas and boba I would definitely recommend checking this spot out, loved the tea and vibe of this spot!

    How gorgeous is this box, seriously!!

    I swear, I have yet to have a mochi donut that is able to hold a candle to Mama Chai's. Theirs are just... SOOO GOOD and the flavors so interesting!!! On my most recent visit on 2/28, my friends and I ended up ordering 6, of which 2 came home with me. Dubai: yes, the Dubai chocolate trend hasn't yet gone away and I'm so glad about it. This donut was just dreamy... it was enrobed with a thick chocolate coating and crowned with a huge scoop of toasted kataifi and pistachio cream. Donut royalty, this was. Pistachio yuzu: whaaattt? I have not yet seen this flavor combo anywhere so was super exited to try it. It worked beautifully and I loved it so much. I also want to note that I didn't have a chance to chomp on these donuts until the next day and they still felt fresh and had none of the aftertaste I sometimes get from donuts of a lower caliber. Final note... please check out how cute and gorgeous their packaging is. The store employee who helped us out informed us that it was designed by the owner. Props for their artistic ability. I seriously wanted to keep that box forever.

    The donuts are nice and chewy. I really like the flavor of both donut and the strawberry donut. The cashier is pretty nice and gave me some recommendations for food in the area which I really appreciated.. decoration they had was really really aesthetically pleasing and they had a nice outdoor section with plants My only complaint is the packaging of the box that the donut comes in.. both the donuts that I had had a crumb topping to it and upon opening and eating the donut crumbs got. It was pretty annoying to clean up everywhere

    Cinnamon Sugar Mochi Donut
    Dai D.

    I desperately needed a pick-me-up, and decided to stop by Mama Chai's. I got the coconut cloud matcha and a cinnamon sugar mochi donut. Now, sometimes I order things with absolutely no idea what to expect. I'd never had mochi before; I just knew my sister loves it and the donuts looked good. All I can say is I wish I'd bought more. The donut wasn't too sweet and I loved the texture. It was soft and moist, but slightly chewy...almost gooey-like. The matcha was okay. Not bad, but I didn't finish it. I think I prefer more of a creamy matcha, but it was refreshing. The outdoor patio is surprisingly large, and very appealing. There's plenty of seating. Outdoor heaters would really set it off so that people could enjoy it even when it's chilly. The interior is cute too. It matches the outdoor patio's vibe. There were plenty of people studying & hanging out. Customer service was great. The cashier greeted me and was more than happy to answer all my questions. I usually like to look at menus ahead of time, but Mama Chai's website doesn't include drink descriptions, which could be really helpful for first-timers. Overall, this is a cute spot and I could see myself coming back for more mochi donuts.

    The best thing about this place is the outdoor and indoor seating options I love that there is so much open space and there are board game options to choose from while you wait it's a good area to hang out with friends and to study , the snacks are good they are pretty sweet so I would t get to many , service was slow on this day but the staff was still nice

    I have been here once before to attend a Yelp Elite Event and I knew I'd have to return. Since I was on the Strip recently, i crossed the 15 on Spring Mountain and I was there in no time at all including the construction delays. It was around 1:30 in the afternoon, and the place was empty. I ordered a Masala chai drink and I chose a salted caramel mochi doughtnut coated with toasted coconut. I took it to go so the pleasant woman working there put it in a box which made it great for driving. All their drinks are made to order and the tea is brewed for every drink so there is a bit of a wait to get the fresh drinjk form the tea-rista. The Masala chai has a bit of coffee flavoring added which made it wuite tasty! Thius is really a pleasant place and one where I ned to remember to stop more often.

    Imperial Ren Shen Ginseng Milk Tea
    Vi N.

    This little hole in the wall needs a LOT more recognition!! The outdoor patio is adorable and it's matched on the inside! Their teas were super good, I ordered the Imperial Ren Shen Ginseng and it was super tasty! Thank goodness the cashier asked how sweet I wanted it because I said half and it was perfect. Our group also ordered the pumpkin spice, and berries and cheese and loved them. The donuts though: I could eat an entire case of them we got the apple pie, strawberry and I believe pecan and they were all incredible. I've never had a mochi donut that had toppings like that and I will ABSOLUTELY get another one!! The only reason for the 4 star is how long it took for the tea. Granted there was what appeared to be only one girl working, but my friend and I were the only one in there and it took about 30 minutes to get our tea Overall - I will absolutely be back and highly recommend it!

    The outside here is super cute, but wait for drinks can be long. We did come during a cup sleeve event so we were able to look around while our drinks were being made. The drinks were alright, but the donut we had gotten was very good. I really enjoyed the texture of the donut as well as the matcha icing. The staff were really nice and friendly and I love that they make all the drinks fresh.

    Cute place tucked away in Chinatown. Came here because it was a nice day and we wanted somewhere to hang out for a little bit. I liked their outdoor seating area, and dog friendly too. Had jenga and board games. Menu was kind of small and had hard time deciding what to order. Mango matcha was wayyyy too sweet could barely finish. One of the fruity teas we got was decent but can't remember which flavor it was. We won't be back, there are many other boba places around here we prefer over this one as far as taste of drinks.

    Outside seating area!

    VIBING. After being recommended this place by bestie, I'm so glad we were able to go! Busy Chinatown area, but there was still adequate parking when we went around 9pm on a Saturday evening. Though I REALLY wanted to try the candy fruit, I wasn't able to this time around. Instead, we opted for the real pistachio latte w/ boba & the real taro latte. We were told that though the sweetness could be adjusted on the pistachio latte, it was not an option for the taro since they do NOT use the powder like many other places. Both drinks were SUPERB. I could taste the rawness of the pistachios in my latte. YUM. There was spacious seating outside as well as inside and so many photo opportunities! LOVE that they have family games inside as well -- great place for family nights!

    Small Lychee Dragonfruit tea with boba ($6.25) and Roasted Pistachio Yuzu mochi donut ($4).
    Ame G.

    Went to Mama Chai's a little after eating lunch, and what a great place for a sweet treat after your meal. The outside patio is a really nice and lovely place to relax. It's covered, so you are not under the sun and there are gas firepits (nice touch for this cooler weather). There are plenty of seats and tables both inside and outside. They even have board games available. After reviewing the menu and receiving some reccomendations from the friendly store attendant, Chris, I decided upon a small Lychee Dragonfruit tea with boba ($6.25). This drink comes with real fruit bits so you don't need toppings, but I wanted to try the boba. The boba wasn't sweet, so I may skip the addition next time. The drink itself was was refreshing and the perfect level of sweetness. It reminded me of a favorite drink I had from a cafe (Tocaja) in Claremont, CA called the "Purple Me". So happy to have found this similar drink at Mama Chai's. I also enjoyed a Roasted Pistachio and Yuzu mochi donut ($4), which was delightful! It was packaged in such a cute box too. I have my eye on the Korean Banana Milk for my next visit. Looking forward to returning!

    1/8/25 Hazelnut almond toffee mochi donut & Assam Mulberry Blue

    If you are following, this trip is to spoil my daughter visiting all the donut places. See all other reviews. Quality/Quantity - Limited selection when we got here; not sure if that is normal? Or if there were more hidden in the back...? See pictures of the donut case. Today we got the following: Hazelnut Almond Toffee Mochi Donut - I chose this one, OMG! This was a home run. It was like eating a candy bar and a mochi donut at the same time. And can you believe it was not too sweet! Strawberry Cheesecake Mochi Donut - One of my daughter's favorite flavors. She of course liked it. But I did not, only because it is not my preference of flavor. It was still good and well done. Assam Mulberry Blue Fresh Fruit Tea - My daughter's drink. She said it was good. Atmosphere - What a cool space. See pictures. Indoor/outdoor. Free wifi. One clean unisex bathroom. Plenty of parking. Open 7 days a week from noon till 11pm or midnight. Service - Eddy was good, very patient with us, as we were first time customers. Shared the best sellers and the different types of fresh fruit teas, etc. Price - $17 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since February of 2023.

    What time is tanghulu available?

    5pm, went on a Sunday. They were through with the first 10 people in line. They allow one per person.

    Is this a good place to work or study? If so, are there outlets available?

    Yes they have indoor and outdoor patio. Outlets are inside. I haven’t checked outside for plugs.

    Are the mochi donuts gluten free or do they contain wheat flour?

    Do they consistently restock their donuts throughout the day or is it on first come first serve till sold out?

    I have visited twice and it seems like stock is more limited at opening but they also still had donut at about 8pm too so I do believe they restock in limited quantities.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes

    I honestly loved this place for the pizza and not the matcha. In order of my personal favorites:…read more 1. Chicken Mushroom 2. Margherita 3. Prosciutto Kumo The chicken mushroom pizza came out the hottest and therefore, the cheese was the meltiest which made the pizza 2x better. The basil pesto drizzle on the margherita added so much flavor and I'm grateful it had that instead of the typical basil leaves. The prosciutto kumo seemed the most promising but the prosciutto tasted a bit off and tainted the flavor of the pizza. That said, the crust of every single one was perfect: mochi-like, slightly crispy, but thin. I found the concept of a cafe and pizzeria to be very unique so I opted to try the house shizuoka matcha latte as well. It was good, but tasted like the ones I make at home so nothing too special. We went on a Saturday at noon and there were many tables available. The workers were nice and there's a variety of seating which is cool.

    Good matcha. Def on the sweeter side, but good! I liked their banana matcha…read more Good pizza! Kinda small, 3 people can share 2 pizzas and if you're super hungry you could probably have your own. Thin crust lil sauce vibe. Yum! Dessert options were pretty good too! Protein desserts which I thought was cool. I thought service was slow and ..silly?? Workers just gave teen lil brother who doesn't know how to do anything efficiently or usefully vibe haha. But they were kind. Menu is pricey. Also not a great study spot in my opinion. Lots of great space, but part of it is so dark. Some tables are blocked off and reserved for later in the night? (It does stay open late which is nice for late night studies) And worst of all, WiFi is not free. With a purchase, you get a single WiFi code for one device that lasts only 2 hours. :// ordered two pizzas, two desserts, and 3 matchas and they only let us draw one wifi code from a giant fishbowl LOL are you fr Overall it's super cute and would recommend to try. But not for a good study session if you're like me who likes to grind at a cafe for a while.
