Mama Chai's is a newly opened spot right next to Mr. BBQ. There is designated, 15 minute parking in front for anyone in a hurry. I tried their black sesame latte, lavender matcha, and cookie butter mochi donut. None of these disappointed. The black sesame latte is phenomenal, one of my favorite drinks EVER. Super tasty and the black sesame flavor really shines. The cookie butter mochi donut is a dangerous item to have. Its addicting. Get it away from me. Service was kind and helpful, as it was my first time here. Inside there's plenty of seating, with comfortable booths and tables. There's music playing and the atmosphere is really chill and pleasant. Oh, and there's a bathroom in the back of the store! That's always a plus! Overall, have to give my first (and definitely not last) visit to Mama Chai's a 9.5/10! read more

Review 66/365 Day Challenge Finally made my way here on National Boba day around 3 p.m. 4.30.26 There wasn't a line when i got there but after I ordered. The boba shop started getting packed. There were only 2 associates working this afternoon. One main girl making the drinks and the sweet associate taking orders along help assisting making drinks when she's able to. Service ordering was quick, since it was a day of offer with BOGO FREE for National bona day. Drinks were a little bit slower to receive a the massive orders of drinks. Was a bit bummed they ran out of boba so only got a few boba sample in the lychee dragonfruit jasmine fresh tea. Didn't get in my matcha drinks that I also ordered ~ Strawberry Matcha is pretty good. Use fresh strawberries. Matcha pretty strong and good. ~ Jasmine Milk Tea Matcha is good. Has a matcha cold foam topped. Pretty good drink. ~ Matcha Milk Tea is simple and good. Matcha is strong and hand whisk. ~ Lychee Dragonfruit Jasmine is refreshing good w real fruit lychee and strawberry bits. The boba shop is really cute and simple shop. Love the fresh calm vibe. Simplicity at its best. They have these hidden cups w crochet keychain hidden in the bottom of the cup like a surprise Offers yummy looking donut flavors and also carry chewy Dubai cookie. They sell cute merchandise. Located next to Mr. Bbq Korean bbq restaurant. Same building attached to the AYCE bbq spot. A limited amount of parking space available. read more

Ordered the salted caramel donut; loved it! Perfectly sweet! Also got the strawberry shortcake donut; soft chewy donut but the crumble topping was a little messy and a bit too sweet for me. The packaging is so cute and would make a great bday treat for someone. Thai tea was great! Not overly sweet and great flavor. Hojica tea had a more roasted green tea flavor! Great if you like Genmaicha tea! And the drinks are brewed to order so please be patient! That being said, my drink was a little warm so I would add add extra ice. The inside is well lit and quiet. Saw some people studying. Tons of seating. read more

Great mochi doughnuts here and the packaging is one of the best I've seen. They have a variety of different flavors to choose from and they're a decent size as well. When i went they were doing a promo if you bought 6 you get 1 doughnut free. Each doughnuts around $3 after the promo so not bad. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Came for the Dubai sushi set and it was honestly such a fun experience. Everything looks like sushi, but it's actually dessert -- the "wasabi" is pistachio cream and the "soy sauce" is chocolate. The cookies were chewy, rich, and not overly sweet. Also really liked the drinks. The cashier was helpful in recommending us drinks. The double matcha is strong (in a good way), and the pistachio latte actually tastes like real pistachio. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for something unique but still good quality. The store itself was sleek, clean, and modern. Would come back! read more

I tried the Dubai sushi and I thought it was alright. The topping that looks like raw fish is extremely sticky but it is easy to chew and the flavor of it worked well with the crunchy kataifi. I couldn't figure out if the top sticky part is marshmallow or something else that may have some mochi in it. I think all mochi would be better as a topping. Overall, the customer service was nice and helpful and inside the cafe is spacious and cute. read more

While waiting for seating at Mr. BBQ, I noticed this newly opened café nearby. It's run by the same establishment, which is a great idea--especially for customers who want to grab a drink or dessert while waiting. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the shop is absolutely adorable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I ordered half a dozen mochi donuts and was offered one extra for free. I also tried the black sesame latte, which was delicious and wonderfully fragrant. Overall, it's a great addition and a perfect spot to stop by while waiting for a table. read more

Newly opened shop with very cute aesthetics. The place is very spacious with plenty of seating available. The teas itself were a bit disappointing as they did not have a strong tea flavor. The menu made the drinks look very enticing but they all fell a little short. I got the Mango Passionfruit Oolong, Guihua Osmanthus, Dan Cong Duck Sh*t Tea. Their teas are not very sweet so you'll have to go a step up from your usual sweetness. The boba itself was chewy if you decide to get it as an add on. Overall the drinks didn't taste harmonious, and it made the drinks all watered down. I also tried their mochi donut, and got their Toasted Hazelnut Almond. I wasn't expecting the caramel coating which made it sweeter than expected. The mochi dough itself was nice and chewy though, so maybe their other flavors would be good! Overall service was great! Staff were helpful and friendly. Again, great aesthetics, but the flavors did fall short. read more

Been to Mama Chai's twice and enjoyed both visits. Both times the parking situation has been frustrating, since the lot has maybe 30 spots and shares them with the KBBQ next door. On the second visit I did see three dedicated 15-min spots for Mama Chai's right in front. This is great for take out, but if you wanted to sit and work then you'd need to get one of the longer stay spots. Staff are very knowledgeable on the menu and do suggest trying different items (helpful for matching to my specific desires and also for upselling the customer). I did also notice that all of the employees were young and attractive, just a coincidence I'm sure but certainly contributes to the atmosphere. Both visits were driven by the desire for matcha, and here Mama Chai delivers. The matcha is first sieved and then whisked after hot water is added. The results is extremely smooth, no detectable grit, clearly high quality matcha. I've tried both the strawberry and lavender matches, and I lean towards the Strawberry overall. The strawberry has both large chunks of fresh strawberry as well as a strawberry puree. This presents a nice color contrast, and variation with some sips containing strawberry and some do not. Overall sweetness (we opt for no added sugar) was appropriate, and the bitterness from the matcha was balanced by the strawberry. The lavender comes from a concentrated syrup, and so it integrates well and every sip has the same amount of lavender flavor. I do find the first half to be enjoyable, but about halfway through the camphor flavor components seems to accumulate in my mouth and then becomes overpowering. The Lychee Dragonfruit Jasmine Tea is a solid fruit tea. It contains chunks of dragonfruit and lychee, with the latter contributing some sweetness to the drink. It also appears nice (for Insta and such). Every time there are mochi donuts available. These will be the first item you see immediately upon entry on the right, and they do call to me. The first visit I tried the Strawberry Shortcake. They are already made and so the sugar content is built in, and I find them to be tailored to an American palate rather than an Asian palate. They taste as sweet as they look. read more

Walked into Mama Chai's planning to grab a couple donuts and somehow left with half a dozen. No regrets. The mochi texture is legit. Soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. S'mores was rich with a nice chocolate and toasted marshmallow flavor. Strawberry shortcake was lighter and more refreshing than expected. Matcha strawberry had a good balance, very earthy, not too sweet. Churro was simple but done right, just straight cinnamon sugar and a caramel drizzle. Strawberry cheesecake leaned more dessert-like with a creamy flavor. Toasted almond hazelnut was probably my favorite, really nutty and yummy Nutella. Staff was super friendly and helped us pick everything out without rushing. read more

Cute establishment with a variety of drinks. I can definitely appreciate the effort in the details of each item. You can tell they put effort into creativity and descriptions. Came here for the grand opening late in the afternoon. Biggest con is there is not a lot of parking since it shares a lot with a very popular AYCE kbbq restaurant. Had to park down the street and walk over. Idk if it had anything to do with the grand opening (maybe a little) since there wasn't a ton of people inside but when I'm looking for tea, I'm not going to work really hard to find parking. Hope it's not an issue long term for them! Overall the drinks were tasty. Still a bit sweet even 50% adjusted, but you can taste the difference tones for sure. I would recommend trying. It's a bit on the pricier side but the cups seem somewhat larger than normal and it seems just different enough from other establishments it would be worth a try! Didn't try their donuts, but they did look good. read more

The Jeju double matcha is fantastic. Strong matcha and very well balanced flavor. Not too sweet at 50% sweet. My favorite was the special Dubai sushi cookie they had on the weekend. Lucky that I happened to come on a day they are offering it (I guess only weekends for now). It's so cute AND tasty. definitely a fun little dessert to share! It's rich because they are very generous with the pistachio. Delicious! The drinks are made/brewed to order as well. Fantastic, cute little cafe! read more

Wow just wow. Everything here exceeded our expectations. To start with the matcha was excellent and I'm not usually a matcha drinker. The worker was so nice and had great suggestions. The place was quiet and perfect for studying or a cute date. We came for the Dubai cookies that we saw on TikTok. They're marshmallow like texture on the outside and Dubai style pistachio kanafe on the inside covered in cocoa powder. 10/10 just amazing flavors and textures. The mochi donut took us by surprise too. The ube flavor was incredible and the mochi texture was on point!!!! I'm so glad this place is close by. I will be back! read more

Finally got around to trying this place, and it was so CUTE inside! Took the kids for an afterschool treat and ended up getting a box of 6 mochi donuts. We got a 7th for free since we ordered the box. Donuts we chose were: toasted almond hazelnut, salted caramel coconut, churro, strawberry shortcake, cookie butter, matcha Oreo, and ube dalgona. All were yummy and only the white chocolate on the ube one was a bit too sweet in my opinion. We also had a strawberry matcha and a matcha milk tea. You can taste the quality in the matcha and I like that the drinks were not too sweet. The two girls working were very nice with good customer service. The aesthetic of the entire place itself was worth coming in. Very cutesy! Oh! And the packaging of the donuts was beautiful! You can tell that the owners really put thought and care into their products. We will be back again! Disclaimer: I do not know the owners or anyone who works here.

Mama Chai's is an absolute gem! Stopped by for the grand opening, the staff went above and beyond to ensure the happiness of the guests ! The mochi donuts here are next level -- perfectly chewy with the most creative and flavorful toppings. There's always a great variety, so it's impossible to pick just one (I highly recommend trying a few). You can really taste how fresh and thoughtfully made they are. Their drink menu is just as impressive. From classic and unique milk teas to blended drinks and refreshing fruit teas, there's something for everyone. I love that they offer Asian-inspired flavors you don't see everywhere else. On top of the amazing food and drinks, Mama Chai's is Korean female-owned, which makes supporting this business even better. You can feel the passion and creativity behind everything they do. If you're looking for high-quality mochi donuts, excellent milk tea, and a cozy, welcoming spot -- this is it! read more

I liked there is a quick parking here out front for to go orders. Came first time and got four donuts (it's like a mochi donut) and their mango yogurt tea and pistachio latte. The drinks were good. Not too overly sweet. The mango yogurt was a little strange because the yogurt was like curd like and had just a hint of mango flavor. The donuts are good but pricey. So much package for four donuts but they are cute packages. Super chill environment and service was prompt. Will be back again to try other drinks and donuts. read more

Mama Chai's is located in the same parking lot as Mr. BBQ. It is very clean and we were welcomed right as we walked in. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty and quiet. I think this would be a great place to study or do some work! My fiancé and I both got matcha drinks. I loved that it was hand whisked! Both of our drinks tasted great. I got the blueberry matcha with boba and he got the strawberry matcha with boba. They also have donuts as well, but we did not get those. We would come back read more

I always go to eat Mr.Bqq next to this shop until today! I am such a sweets person so when I noticed a boba shop right next to Mr.bbq I had to go! The space was super cute I loved the colors and vibe to the location. I ordered the salted caramel Nutella latte and I loved the taste of the coffee that wasn't super sweet and blended well! My friend ordered the strawberry lemonade and it was fantastic. The two lovely girls working helped us out very welcoming and even offered to redo our drinks if it wasn't to our sweetness liking. They were great and helpful. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I came to the soft opening and waited for a parking spot to open up just to try something from Mama Chai's menu. Totally worth it! I had a delicious Decaf Mango Passionfruit Peach tea My only regret is not coming by earlier in the day so I could try one of their Matchas. I'm looking forward to returning to caffeinate here soon, hopefully much earlier in the day so I don't stay up all night If any of you do need extra support to stay alert and meet deadlines for school or work, they have a lot of different caffeine options! From coffee and matcha to desi Masala Chai, they've got a menu to make anyone's tastebuds sing. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I love the vibe here. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The place is buzzing with energy. Just make sure you give yourself time to snag a parking spot when you arrive. read more

I had the strawberry matcha and it's pretty good. Not too sweet. I also love how they use strawberry milk along with the strawberry purée for it as well.

Congratulations on the Grand Opening! Super glad I was able to stop by and get my drink half off ~ There were so many drink options to choose from but I went with the Strawberry Yuzu Black Cold Brewed Tea. I normally have to ask for sweetness adjustments to 50% sweet at other tea shops but this drink was the perfect amount of sweet and tea without any adjustments. Looks like they use quality ingredients! I will definitely be back to try all the other drinks and mochi donuts. With a lot of mochi donut shops in OC disappearing, this will be my next go-to place! The interior is quite spacious, nicely decorated with a warm soft green aesthetic I love, and the music choice was also not over stimulating. Parking is the only concern but it's not enough to stop me for a sweet treat! read more

This place is so cutesy, and very aesthetic. The workers are nice and very attentive and everything was nice. They have a cute selection of donuts and the designs are adorable. The cookie butter donut is good, tastes like every donut but the biscoff was a good addition. The TAIWAN Oolong Tea is good, it has a a refreshing scent and taste to it but the oolong taste is not quite present, it's like a hint of oolong. Now if you're not a big fan of black sesame flavors, might not be best to get the Black Sesame Latte; it is thick and tastes strong, I didn't enjoy it personally. I've had black sesame flavors before but this one is just very strong for my personal taste. read more

Their drinks are pretty good and it's really nice place to study or meet someone to talk to. The space is very spacious! Their service is awesome.

My new fav boba place in Fullerton! I got the Osmanthus Milk Tea, and truly one of the best I've tried.

My friend got the Mango Matcha and I really liked that too! I think next time I'll come try their matcha drinks cause it was really good in the mango matcha. We also shared a cookies and cream mochi donut, and it was bomb! I haven't tried mochi donut before, but I would get this over a regular donut any day. Soft and flavorful!!!

The mochi donuts are AMAZING. I had the opportunity to try a few flavors and I came back to buy one of every single kind. I especially love the extra attention to detail to making everything look nice and polished-- the donuts themselves, the boxes, the cups, and the overall aesthetic of the shop. Presentation is so nice this will be my go to for gatherings (a box of these is better than bringing a cake imo). I also got the strawberry matcha and loved that I could swap out for nondairy options. Really really cool to see their commitment to authenticity by whisking the jeju matcha by hand. The service was friendly, helpful, and patient (I stood there for a while trying to pick flavors before deciding to get one of each). read more
