    onigiri
    Grace P.

    I wanted to like this place sooo bad and feel like I got unlucky with my order. I saw they were advertising their new onigiris and had to try. I got the spicy tuna and crab and corn onigiri and was utterly disappointed. The rice is not sushi rice, the size of the onigiri is very small, and the tuna and crab tasted soooo bad. I also got the mango avocado smoothie which was advertised and there was no taste and superrr sweet. Maybe I ordered the wrong items. I will give this another try.

    I love this place so refreshing the drinks specially pineapple strawberry ololong tea so refreshing! The service is amazing too

    Spicy Tuna Onigiri (Fresh)
    Amani S.

    Great service and bomb food! Loved the spicy tuna onigiri which had really good rice. Ordered a boba tea with and made the rookie mistake of not getting 50% sweetness but it was still delish.

    Seating area

    Tried out this place on 12/16/25. This was one of the few places that was open late. After attending Enchant, we were kind of hungry, so my daughter found this place. Since it was pretty late, there was PLENTY of free parking in a shared lot. They weren't busy, so we took our time trying to decide what to order to eat and drink. Two of us chose the combo meal which included a musubi and drink. The price was great, but we both agreed the musubi didn't taste right. We couldn't even determine what type of spam was used!! The temperature of the musubi was very hot though which was great, but the taste was HORRBLE. My drink was HORRIBLE because I asked for less sweet. Maybe I should have not made it so less sweet. I hated my drink SO MUCH, I didn't even finish it!! Plenty of places to sit. Not nice looking inside, just okay.

    Worst FAKE yakult drink EVER!!
    James W.

    I am rarely crushed by terrible drinks... But the yakult mixed drinks at Meet Tea are so bad, that I'm actually deeply impressed with HOW BAD it was!! I can't even summon enough energy to type out how bad it was... But trust me, it's super bad. UGH!!

    Milk Tea and Fried Chicken Wings
    Lucy M.

    Ordered the New Orleans Chicken Burger/sandwich ($7.75 after fees). Tastes freshly made but it was not New Orleans flavored. Just tasted like a reg stir fried chicken, lightly seasoned with cucumbers inside.

    Friendly staff who offered us samples of their milk tea at the door. They had a BOGO deal going on for the osmanthus tea light milk and gardenia tea light milk. It was $3.99 for a big bottle and the regular cup is the free one. There is plenty of seating, including booth seats and tables. We sat there for a few hours and were undisturbed. They had a restroom for customers to use. Also had some board games to play too.

    Snack and toy machines

    We came here for dessert and popcorn chicken after eating a nice large dinner in this mall at the Meno Jiao Club restaurant, which is across the mall by the Daiso Store. We bought a basque cheesecake and any flavor milk tea combo for $10.99 total ($9.99 plus $1 for the milk tea). The cheesecake with a berry flavored topping, was quite delicious, and the white peach milk tea paired well with it. We sat in the booth chairs near the front of the store and we enjoyed chatting away without needing to rush out. The lady behind the counter brought our drinks and food to us, she was very nice. I will definitely come again, they serve nice food if you feel like eating a meal with a milk tea. They also have specialty drinks and milkshakes. You shouldn't be disappointed if you feel like a milk tea on a sunny day, this is a place to try out with a friend, or by yourself for a quick meal.

    Braised Pork Rice
    Jenny N.

    My coworker and I ordered food and drinks here through DoorDash and perhaps I was hungry and thirsty, but let me tell you I'm a happy camper. We ordered braised pork rice (rice, braised pork, one marinated egg, and mixed vegetables). We got two orders for $14.99. What a deal. I inhaled that thing! Flavor of braised pork and marinated egg was on point, not salty. My coworker ordered extras for her family and another coworker. We ordered sunset lemon (no picture as my coworker took the drinks before I was able to take a picture) and it was 2 for $6.49. What a deal. In addition, you get free toppings (boba, pudding, mango popping boba). Select one topping or all three. I ordered their fresh mixed fruit tea and I added two out of three toppings (boba and mango popping boba). Overall, I was a happy customer even though I didn't physically go in to order/pick up the food. I would get these items again!

    Strawberry Tea
    Braxton H.

    Decided to quench my thirst by going to Meet Tea today! I ordered a Strawberry Milk Tea, which came out to be around $6.25, a very reasonable price. Service is very easy and convenient: it can either be through a kiosk or through the cashier. The Strawberry Milk Tea was delivered quickly, Taste wise, it was very good and had a nice consistency. Smooth with a creamy undertone. I really like the fruity flavor of the drink as it compliments well with the main ingredient, the strawberry. Overall, I really liked the portion size but I wish that there was more flavor for the strawberry and more boba. I would definitely come again if I'm in the Temple City area! Tip: They accept Apple Pay for those wondering!

    Honeydew Smoothie
    Miori I.

    In need of a cool down on a hot afternoon and there was Meet Tea to the rescue. Located in a very busy plaza on Rosemead and Las Tunas, parking can be hard to find in the large lot. We planned to stop into several shops in the plaza, so we parked at one location and walked to Meet Tea. Walked into the brightly lit space and was greeted right away. The space was much larger than I had expected. A couple cozy booths to the left of the register and a multitude of tables to the right. This place clearly gets packed at some point with this much seating. This was our first time so we had to take a couple minutes to review the menu. We weren't really in the mood for milk tea so we landed on a Honeydew Smoothie. We were offered a cute tote bag for free and sat at one of the booths to wait. Within minutes our Honeydew Smoothie was on the counter. The first sip was heavenly. Surely hit the spot. The sweet, creamy melon flavor reminded me of the Melon pops. Loved it! Definitely know what to order the next time we are in the area.

    Matcha Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Simon L.

    Really cool boba spot inside of a plaza with a good selection of drinks. Service was great and the cashier gave us good recommendations. We got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and matcha latte (custom as they don't have it on their actual menu) and it was decent!

    How is the braised pork rice?

    Do you guys close on Veterans Day?

    We are open on Veterans Day.

    How is this business handling the re-opening? What safety measures are they taking? Are they offering indoor or outdoor dining or both? Any heaters for outdoor dining?

    They open. I don't even know they are close? I work next door i just check in there.

    Is it open for indoor dining right now ? Is the closing time at 12 midnight as written here?

    Our tea shop is currently closed for renovation. We will reopen on 07/24/2021. We will have indoor dinning and for closing time please check our business hours.

    Is there a milk replacement option like soy or almond?

    ye s

    Looking to be more waste conscious. Do they fill in drinks if you byoc (bring your own cup), offer discounts, or any of those sorts of incentives?

    Do they offer Splenda as a sweetener alternative?

    Not that I know, but we can always ask them to reduce the level of sugar use...that's what I always do.

    This place has a great customer services and a great place to hang out with friends. The food is good?

    It's far from average as far as taste goes and if you know what to order. Order any of the yogurt snow bubbles, they have mango, strawberry, or kiwi. Guaranteed addiction if you like yogurt. Service is also on point. For food, get the cold noodle.

I had their Starry Night blueberry series drink recently, and it was so tangy, sweet, and refreshing in the summer heat. I loved it, and I really home they keep it on the menu. I am also a huge fan of their signature blend. I LOVE strong, earthy teas like oolong tea, ember tea, hojicha, etc. and their signature blend if one of the most unique earthy blends I've ever had. It's earthy but still has a unique sweetness, almost like a mocha or a coffee with a hint of cocoa. It pairs super well with their coffee jelly. OneTea's ember tea is also the absolute best in the area (and trust me, I've tried them all and keep a list...). Crazy strong, so strong I get it at 75% sweetness level instead of my 50% sweetness that I get everywhere else, and it pairs wonderfully with the golden boba, the sweetness of which balances out the earthiness of the tea. In addition to the delicious drinks, the staff is always so kind and accommodating. I try to top every time. I also really like how there's a nicely decorated, spacey (literally) seating area in the back. My friends and I like coming here a lot for good drinks and to catch up. I LOVE OneTea!!!

I…read morewaited a very long time in line for a peach drink, and it was genuinely one of the best boba drinks I've had. I hadn't gone back since because I'm never in San Gabriel, but when I heard that Chicha San Chen was opening in Arcadia, I was super excited, since I live near the new Arcadia location. Since ChiCha had a stellar reputation for their teas and quality of drinks, and since I'd had such a delicious drink at the San Gabriel location, even when they were absolutely packed and SWAMPED, I assumed Arcadia would maintain the same quality. Unfortunately, I was sorely and utterly mistaken to think that. I first visited Chicha San Chen in Arcadia on Halloween 2025, and it wasn't super busy despite it being a brand new location. That should have been my first warning sign, that there were many better boba spots to spend my hard-earned money on. I can think of at least eight different boba spots off the top of my head within a 1-mile radius of ChiCha, where I can be guaranteed a drink that at least tastes like tea. Depressingly, I had the misfortune of spending my Halloween and my cash on a dong ding oolong tea at ChiCha instead. The Ding ding oolong tea, despite being one of the best sellers at the time, was very watered down. Oolong tea is a very strong and fragrant brew, especially when you choose lower sugar and ice levels like I do, but somehow ChiCha managed to mess it up. It wasn't just me as well, my friend also ordered the Ding dong oolong tea without cream, and he agreed that it was watered down. Adding to the experience was the fact that there was absolutely nowhere to sit, despite the location being pretty empty besides people picking up their drinks and leaving. After that absolutely amazing first impression of Arcadia's ChiCha San Chen, I have avoided this location like the plague! Sadly, I received a bubble milk tea as a gift this Friday. Someone had asked me what I'd wanted from another nearby boba shop, but unbeknownst to me, had changed their mind and gone to ChiCha. I spotted the drink on my desk, saw the ChiCha packaging, and prayed against reality that they had gone to a location besides the Arcadia one, especially since the presumably TEA drink looked suspiciously WHITE. Still, I held out hope that maybe, the sad state of my past oolong tea had been an unfortunate fluke; perhaps I'd come on an off-day, and maybe they'd improved since then. Alas, my spirit of good faith was for naught. I should have know from the color, or lack thereof, of the drink. Despite being a bubble milk TEA, presumably using black tea like most traditional milk teas do, the drink is BARELY OFF-WHITE. However, don't let the vague beige-ness fool you. That beige is not from tea; it's from the brown sugar syrup that's mixed with the boba. The drink looks like those brown sugar boba MILKS that used to be so very popular in the mid-2010s, and boy, does it sure taste like it. I was looking forward to some caffeine, but at that point I wasn't even sure if they put any tea in the drink. It was watered down, I tasted almost no tea, and somehow it was worse than the Halloween oolong tea. It's funny because I could literally tell which location the person who gave me the drink went to just based on the taste, or should I say, the lack of taste, of the bubble milk tea. I asked them later to confirm that yes, they had gone to the Arcadia location. I LOVE milk tea, but I really don't like just milk, so I ended up throwing the drink away after I was out of sight of the person who gave me the drink. I only drank about a quarter of the drink. Honestly, it was genuinely impressive how a renowned boba tea chain can't figure out how to make a basic bubble milk tea properly where you can actually taste the tea. However, I will give them props for one thing -- the boba itself, as in the actual tapioca pearls, were perfect. I understand ChiCha is known for their fruit drinks, so I wonder if that's why I don't see more reviews saying the tea is watered down at this location -- perhaps people got fruit teas and those fruit teas were good. Which begs the question: if your location can only (presumably) make fruit teas decently, then why bother having any milk teas in the menu? Boba drinks are expensive, it really sucks to pay so much for a drink, expect an at least DECENT milk tea, and getting watered-down, subpar disappointment instead. What a shame; this location seems to be the only ChiCha location that's like this. I will not be going back, why bother coming here when I can go to literally any of the other million boba shops around the SGV for a basic decent milk tea??
