    Thai Tea Jelly Fresh Milk

    Don't recommend if you want a fresh tea. The ladies behind the counter were nice, but that doesn't matter if they're serving milk tea with spoiled milk. I ordered a simple Thai milk tea with boba, but it tasted like the milk was sour and most likely spoiled. I went back to the shop to let them know and was told I would receive a new one. I ended up getting the same drink but sugar added to help with the taste ??? It didn't....

    They just opened up, and I like it! Very easy to place your order. They have two POS systems on the right-hand side wall. Drinks are listed by category. They don't just sell tea. There are other juice drink options, such as mango and watermelon. I ordered a milk tea with boba. There are options for sweetness and amount of ice. There was only one employee that I could see. He was professional and efficient. Because there weren't any other customers, my drink took less than five minutes. It's a small space, but there's bench seating on both sides, and a couple tall tables in the center of the space. There's also plenty of outdoor seating. Your drink is served in a substantial plastic cup with a lid that you poke your straw through. My drink was delicious. The boba was soft and chewy. Parking: Free, shared, underground outdoor mall parking.

    A super cute small boba cafe with WiFi and outlets, but it's more of a grab and go cafe as inside there are only 2 tables of 4, 2 tables of 2, and a bench that could seat 3-4 people. Got the Nara Mango Sago $8.49: It was featured on their signature menu and comes with lactose free dairy, but there was too much dairy for my tastes. 5/10 for me but maybe it's because I'm comparing it to the traditional Cantonese Mango sago dessert, which may not be fair. However, for $10/ drink after tax and tip, I guess I was just expecting the taste to wow me a bit more Boba is $0.85 and actually pretty good, a bit chewy and sweet, it is the perfect addition. Inside is very aesthetic and I have to give them props for their decor. Order from the 2 kiosks for faster service as the 2 ladies are busy in the back making the drinks Bathroom: clean & modern, with a dyson sink

    Happy to see this cute newer boba spot in a mall that desperately needs some new businesses, other than medical offices, to stay in business. There were a few people in line so we wanted to give it a go, but unfortunately we gave up. Don't know if this was unusual or they're still working out the bugs, but only one young man was working. He was trying his best. I hope there are usually more employees working bc the short line wasn't moving.

    Chrysanthemum tea with grass jelly
    Nina W.

    I think I'm between a 3 or a 4 stars so I'm giving a 4. I got the chrysanthemum tea, 30% sweet, grass jelly. The drink was good, tasted fresh. I knocked off a star because this place is expensive. My drink was almost $9. Yikes. I know it's PV but I think the drink is way too basic for the price. Also, we were the only one in there and didn't get any service.

    Thai milk tea....50% regular boba

    Service ...nice ambience...great staff and service...the guy has a great smile and attentive attitude...

    While I was really hoping to love this, I'm on the fence. Everytime I've gone it it smells aggressively like cleaning products. This is partially a good thing because the assumption is they're cleaning really well but on the other hand it's so overwhelming each time. The tea is good but on the last round the ice tasted off (also like cleaning products). I know it's a new spot so hopefully this will get better ...

    Green Thai Milk Tea

    Really enjoyed their Green Thai tea. Light, refreshing, and not overly caffeinated. Decent prices, and a great place to stop by if you're in the promenade!

    The good: I'm very excited that this is a new addition to this shopping plaza. I've seen their sign up for months now and have long awaited their opening! The interior is modern and trendy and they have 2 self-ordering tablets to use. They have standing tables inside, benches and 2 lounge areas around two coffee tables.I tried a pineapple foam drink at 30% sweetness. The sweetness level was perfect. They played popular pop songs inside (ex: APT by Rose). They had non-caffeinated options as well. I am looking forward to trying more menu options. The bad: There was no boba when I came (not a big deal because I don't order boba anyway but it was noon so you'd think they wouldn't run out or at least have it ready by that time). They had mango jelly or grass jelly as topping options though. The drink was close to $9 without toppings. I think this was the biggest con for me. I think the foam on top drinks would've been more enjoyable to sip through a sippy cup rather than with a sealed lid and straw. With this type of cup, you either have to pull your straw in and out to drink the two components or blend them entirely. A sippy cup would've allowed you to naturally get sips of both without mixing them entirely. There was a lot of ice so a lot of the foam was stuck on the ice or the walls of the cup. The interesting: Nara's a city in Japan so I'm thinking this is a Japanese boba shop since they also have a variety of matcha drinks. The coffee table was the exact same one I saw at the Last Chance discount store this week.

    Cute, trendy and friendly service at the mall! I got to attend soft opening on 4/14/25. The staff couldn't say when grand opening is. They had warm boba around 2PM, no issues. I had the brown sugar, made me think of honey boba(Lomita). 30% sugar was still pretty sweet to me, felt like 50% level sweet. My friend enjoyed the matcha and "favorite" blueberry flavor. They have lots of coconut infused drinks! I hope to try the jelly option next at the counter! Great additional to the mall for a place to sit for a little bit to hang out. Much needed!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte was really good!
    Jess A.

    Convenient online ordering, friendly staff, and delicious strawberry matcha and boba drinks! Love their Nara theme too!

    The service here is excellent. The person at the front desk was patient, kind and helpful picking out boba drinks for us. Would recimmend. Had the watermelon smoothie and it was delicious!

    Ordered for the first time and my husband went to pick it up - tell me why my $7 drink is not even filled to the top?! That's a lot of drink to skimp out on. And it just tasted like watered down strawberries. Not a fan unfortunately.

    The bobas weren't good the price was also too much so I wouldn't recommend it. The service wasn't bad.

    I'm surprised this Sharetea location doesn't have at least a 4 star overall rating…read more It's been around since I first moved to Torrance and I know it's not easy to keep boba/beverage places open with all of the nearby competition. I'm a big fan of their Matcha Pearl Milk Tea, you can actually taste that they use a ceremonial grade. So it isn't overly sweet nor overly grassy nor bitter. Try subbing the pearls with their mini pearls and their creama topping - gives you different textures and a slightly different flavor profile for the drink that works really well! What sets this place apart is the customer service. The past couple times I've been helped, the cashier has let all customers take their time when deciding what they want. And he gives a lot of insight on both popular renditions drinks are enjoyed plus his own personal recos. Just be mindful of of the added costs from all of the different toppings available. Overall, this Sharetea is a solid option for boba in the South Bay.
