Highly recommend for Oolong tea drinkers!! Staff is super nice and the tea is delicious!

People who went to Taiwan keep telling me about this place so I was super excited to try it! Went on a Sunday afternoon and waited about 35 min total (from getting in line to getting drinks). Personally I really liked it and I'd say a 35 min wait was worth it for me, but 1-2 hours... maybe not. But I don't really want to wait that long anywhere, for anything. Lemon Spring Oolong Tea ($6)-- SUPER refreshing and fragrant!! The tea taste is strong and bold and works really well with the citrus. Sugar Cane Spring Oolong Tea ($6)-- The sugar cane overpowers the tea where it's not a 1:1 and feels like more sugarcane with background taste of tea. Like there's enough tea where you know it's there and it balances the sweetness...but it also just tastes a lot like sugarcane. Personally wouldn't get this again but others really liked it. Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba ($6.75)-- SURPRISINGLY REALLY GOOD? I think in today's age of boba milk tea it's really hard to be surprised and wowed. But maybe because I had 0 expectations I was actually like wow what the heck it's amazing. Super deep rich roasted oolong, way better than the competitors + good balance of milk where it's not diluted or weak or too much milk + really nice soft and chewy brown sugar boba. Not sure how it is now, but the day I went they didn't have anyone line up outside (where the canopy is) and we all just lined up inside the 99 Ranch and went inside in waves. Probably because it's really hot? So you just stand and wait for your turn to go in which was really nice that we weren't just roasting out in the sun. There's an employee whose sole job was to 1) move people from 99 Ranch door to their door and 2) make sure people coming from the parking lot don't cut the line. Much appreciated! I do see a lot of mid reviews for this place so I went in with 0 expectations and relatively cautious and worried that it's all hype.... But no I had a great time and would go back! Love the different levels of oolong and how you can actually taste the tea flavor. read more

There is always no boba...what kind of store that prides themselves on high quality drinks run out of supply? I've been here more than 3 times and there is always no boba. The people here order like 6+ drinks as a single customer and the line is poorly ran. I've come here on afternoons on weekends and weekdays and the line is still packed. Seriously. I really wanted to try their drinks and I'm confused why they're always out on boba. They are clearly serving it in store but it's listed as sold out on the kiosk. I even asked the worker if they're sold out and they just say they won't have enough so they mark it as sold out. Some people would wait but the fact that it isn't an option is very disappointing. Outside from that, the drink itself is not that amazing. Drinks taste too sweet at 30% but not enough sweetness at 10%? Not to mention they give too much ice even at less ice. I don't know, I hope the hype dies down so I can actually get pearls for once. It's really embarrassing for a boba shop to run out of boba and they don't warn their customers until it's already too late. There is no online ordering either so there's currently no way to expedite the ordering process. read more

Thank god the line (inside 99 ranch) was only maybe 3-4 people ahead of us today Saturday 8/22 at 5:30 pm. Once we ordered at the kiosk, we waited maybe 20 minutes to get our drinks. The interior of the space is like a greenhouse since it's all glass and the sun is heating the interior so much that the AC can't do much to cool it down. I feel for the people working here. Dark roasted oolong milk tea, 10% sugar, golden pearl. I specifically ordered dark roasted since I heard from friends that light roasted wasn't tea-forward enough. Unfortunately, dark roasted oolong also tastes quite watered down. ALSO, they were out of regular boba so we had to get the golden boba. No complaints about golden boba, nice texture, but again... I thought this place was all about oolong tea. Where is the oolong tea in my drink?! We also got the green plum spring oolong tea with 10% sugar and tea jelly. This is SALTY. I wasn't expecting it. As others have pointed out, the tea jelly isn't distributed in the drink well, so you only get a few weak pieces that dissolve instantly. Again, I did not taste the oolong tea. My family is from Taiwan and I go back to Taiwan almost every year, and had always heard good things about 得正, so this experience was a big disappointment! read more

Not sure how I actually feel about this place. I think I just got captured by their lovely cups instead of their drinks. The Oolong Tea Project is located in the same plaza as where 99 Ranch market is. Was it necessary for the wait? For me, no. In order to get inside, you will need to join the line that's form inside of the 99 ranch market. When ready to enter, a staff will let you in and you can order your drinks at the Kiosk. Once your drink is ordered, you wait on the side until your number is called. There is an area where you can watch them prepare the drinks and boba. We ordered: Dark roasted oolong milk tea with boba - I couldn't really taste the dark roast and i love strong tea but they definitely hooked it up with the boba Spring orange oolong tea with boba - a very summery drink, light on the oolong tea, but it was citrusy indeed. Worth a drive to try? Not really in my opinion. read more

3.8/5 -- A Popular Boba Brand From Taiwan Location & Parking This boba shop is located in the 99 Ranch Market plaza in Rowland Heights, at the northwest corner of Nogales St. and Gale Ave. The storefront is right next to the west-side entrance of 99 Ranch Market and beside Jinsol Gukbap. Parking is pretty convenient. There are plenty of spaces available throughout the plaza, shared between 99 Ranch Market and the surrounding businesses. The Hype & Wait Time The store has only been open for about three weeks, and I've already heard plenty of stories about the crazy lines. Apparently, ordering and waiting for your drinks can sometimes take an hour or more. HECK NO. I'm not waiting an hour for boba. No boba shop is worth that kind of wait, even if it's supposedly the best. I visited a couple of times on separate weekday afternoons, assuming most people were still at work. Luckily, there was basically no line to order, and my drinks took about 15-20 minutes, which was much more reasonable. ‍ Service & Ordering The staff and servers were friendly and nice during both of my visits. They have two self-order kiosks, and the ordering process is simple and easy to follow. There is also a dine-in/seating area if you want to sit, enjoy your drinks, and chat with friends. First Visit -- Really Good My first order included: * Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Boba * 3 Spring Mountain Oolong Teas -- 2 Orange and 1 Grapefruit Everything was fresh and flavorful. The drinks weren't overly sweet, and I could actually taste plenty of tea, which is a big plus for me. That tells me this place is a legit BOBA TEA shop, not just a sugary drink shop pretending to serve tea. Second Visit -- Hojicha Missed the Mark On my second visit, I ordered the Hojicha Milk Tea with Boba. Unfortunately, this one wasn't as good for me. The flavor was too dark and rich, and it became slightly bitter. The stronger roasted flavor ended up overpowering the actual tea taste. I've had Hojicha milk tea from other boba shops that I enjoyed much more compared to the version here. Overall -- 3.8/5 Overall, I'd still come back from time to time and try some of their other drinks. My first visit was very good, while the second one didn't quite meet my expectations. I originally felt this place was around a 4-star experience, but after my second visit, I'd lower my overall rating slightly to about 3.8/5. Friendly staff Easy kiosk ordering Plenty of parking Strong, noticeable tea flavor Fresh drinks Can have extremely long waits when busy Hojicha Milk Tea was too rich/bitter for my taste Worth trying -- just avoid the crazy opening hype lines! read more

Stopped by oolong Tea Project and ended up waiting around 30 minutes for our drinks. They have 2 self-ordering kiosks, which is convenient, although the kiosk was a little glitchy during our visit and wouldn't accept Apple Pay for some reason. Hopefully that was just a temporary issue! The shop itself has a nice, clean, and modern interior, with a good amount of seating available while you wait for your drinks. I ordered the Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea at 30% sweetness, and I really enjoyed it! The oolong tea was fragrant and had a nice, strong roasted tea flavor that came through even with the milk. The sweetness level was perfect for me, and not overly sweet and had that tea flavor I like. We all really enjoyed our drinks, and everything we tried was tasty and well-balanced. Although the wait was a little long and we had some issues with the kiosk, the drinks definitely made up for it. I'd come back again to try some of their other drinks! read more

I tried Oolong Tea Project, and wow, there were so many people waiting in line! We ended up waiting almost 50 minutes for our drinks. We ordered Green Plum Spring Oolong Tea, Orange Spring Oolong Tea, two Hojicha Milk Teas, Green Tea, and Spring Oolong Tea. The total came to roughly $40. Is it worthwhile to spend $40 on drinks, or would it be better spent on a good meal? The drinks are on the costly side, particularly when ordering for the entire family. My particular favorite was Orange Spring Oolong Tea. I enjoyed the pleasant orange flavor blended with the oolong tea--that was the highlight drink for me. My family thought the other drinks were acceptable but not particularly special. Overall, the drinks were nice, but given the 50-minute wait and the $40 price tag, I doubt I'd wait that long again. If you enjoy specialized tea and want to try something new, it may be worth trying once. I'd probably come back for the Orange Spring Oolong Tea. read more

This is my favorite chain in Taiwan and I was soooo excited to drive up and try the first one in CA! The cheese milk foam dark roasted oolong tea is SO GOOD. Their oolong tea is just so dang yummy and I feel like they pile on the cheese foam enough that it tastes like a lighter version of milk tea when mixing it altogether. Also the tea jelly is a great addition to the drink, but I think their boba is still the way to go because their boba is perfectly chewy and so so good. The only thing is that the wait is quite long right now, but I'm sure it will die down once the store is open for longer! We waited for about an hour and 15 mins before actually ordering and getting our drinks. Definitely recommend any of their oolong teas here! read more

Great service and honestly pretty timely. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. To my surprise though, I really didn't wait more than 30 min in line and then another 15-20 min for the drink. They're obviously very busy as they just opened and they're the only oolong tea project, so I don't think it's fair to hold the wait against them this early on. The drinks themselves were 10/10 and I really enjoyed them! The other nice thing is the line doesn't ever wait outside, it goes inside the building. Overall they're doing a great job and I'd def recommend trying it if you're in the area! read more

I've heard Oolong Tea Project is a popular tea spot from Taiwan and that the line can get pretty long, so I was curious to try it. I stopped by on a weekday around 4 PM and there were only a few people ahead of me. Tip: The line starts from the Ranch 99 plaza side, which is better if you want to stay in the shade. The staff will let you enter once the customers ahead of you finish ordering at the two self-ordering machines. The wait can be longer if someone takes a while deciding what to order. I ordered: - Cheese Foam Dark Roasted Oolong Tea - Orange Spring Oolong Both were 30% sugar + less ice, and I added tea jelly (+$0.75) to both. I immediately regretted ordering less ice because the ice melted pretty quickly once I got my drinks and walked out of the store. The Dark Roasted Oolong wasn't really my favorite. I didn't expect the dark roast to have a slightly bitter taste. But everyone has different preferences when it comes to tea flavor profiles! The Orange Spring Oolong, though, I really liked! It was refreshing with a strong oolong tea flavor, and the orange added a nice brightness without overpowering the tea. As for the tea jelly, I honestly could barely find it in my drink. The pieces were very small and there wasn't much of it. I even wondered if some of it had melted. I probably wouldn't add it next time. The shop itself is clean and modern, with around 20 seats and small tables if you want to sit and enjoy your drink. Total wait: About 25 minutes from getting in line to receiving my drinks, which honestly wasn't too bad for a popular tea shop on a weekday late afternoon. read more

I came on a Saturday around 3pm and the wait in line was about 20 minutes but luckily they have an indoor line inside the 99 Ranch Market building. When it's your turn you order on their kiosk which was very convenient. We waited about 45 minutes for our drinks which we expected but probably will not be coming back anytime soon until the hype dies down. They did have a good amount of seating in the store while we waited for drinks so that was nice. I got the Sugarcane Spring Oolong Tea with 50% sugar and Golden Pearls and a Spring Oolong Tea with 50% sugar. I would recommend 50% sweet - it's about the equivalent of 70% sweetness at other boba shops. If you get boba, the sweetness from that also helps supplement the sweetness as well. Sugarcane Spring Oolong Tea (3.5/5) - The sugarcane flavor was pretty artificial tasting and definitely overpowered the spring oolong tea. It tasted a little sour(?) and didn't pair really well with the golden pearls. I would just get the spring oolong tea by itself next time. The golden pearls were perfectly cooked and were pretty good. Spring Oolong Tea (5/5) - This was a really refreshing drink by itself especially on a hot day. It was perfectly sweet and tasted light and floral. Would recommend this! read more

I went on the last day of the soft opening so it was super busy. I waited a few minutes before getting inside to order and it was a while to get the drink due to its business but it's okay for their trial period. I got the cheese foam oolong tea and it was so good. Make sure to get it with the tea jelly. The seating area was nice. I could see myself coming back to study or do some work. read more

Came on a Tuesday afternoon and the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered the light-roasted oolong latte and dark-roasted oolong milk tea, but unfortunately, neither drink had much tea flavor. Both tasted more like watered-down milk with sugar than oolong tea. I was pretty disappointed because I'd seen a lot of social media posts hyping up Oolong Tea Project, especially since it's a popular chain from Taiwan. I was expecting a much stronger tea flavor, but neither drinks stood out to me. Overall, I wouldn't recommend waiting in line for this, and I don't think I'll be coming back. Hopefully the drinks improve as they settle in. read more

Came during the grand opening on 8/2 around 2pm. The line was wrapped around inside the supermarket, and it was around a 30 minute wait. I got in and ordered on the kiosk. Interior is very nice and clean. There is a big waiting area and a nice place to sit and talk. I asked the worker if I could come back to get my order and he said yes. He told me to scan the QR code on the tv and I could check the place of my order. I went to the supermarket, and it was around a 30 minute wait for the drinks as well. I got 6 drinks for my family to try: 1. dark roasted oolong tea 2. light roasted oolong tea 3. spring oolong tea 4. dark roasted oolong milk tea 5. hojicha milk tea 6. golden pearl green milk tea + boba All of them were really good. The boba is also very chewy and not too hard/soft either. I really liked it. read more

Came here right before their soft opening was over. Still have no idea when their grand opening is, but I will say there is a bit of a wait even if you come at odd times. I got the Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with golden pearl, but golden pearl ran out and I was substituted with the tea jelly, but then we also tried the Green Plum Spring Oolong Tea with tea jelly. so I highly recommend the Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea WITH tea jelly. So I guess it was a blessing in disguise. It had a very strong tea forward flavor with a lot of umami notes and earthy flavors, which I really enjoyed. And for the Green Plum Spring Oolong Tea, it was very unique, and was lighter flavor but the sourness from the plum really stood out. And on the bottom there is actually 2 plums, so they use actual fruit. The decorations and aesthetic of the store was very nice. Very modern and lots of seating as well. For service, I would say because it was a soft opening, I could tell some employees were a little flustered and maybe weren't as efficient as much as seasoned baristas, but they had a very positive attitude and were helpful whenever it went up up to ask about my drink. read more

4.5 stars considering it was grand opening weekend, I thought they handled it well as long as you had the patience and time. I waited 40 minutes to order at the very end of the day, when they had ran out of all toppings already, so I couldn't try the boba or cheese foam. Then it was another hour wait for the drinks but we were able to leave and come back even after the closing time so we headed over to Round 1 for some games lol. The drinks were on par with what I had in Taiwan. Yes, it is better if you love the oolong milk teas that are from Asia and not the Americanized versions. The dark oolong and the light oolong were both good and very smooth, with the tea and milk melded together. The dark oolong is closer to the roasted oolong milk tea flavor, less roasty, more earthy. read more

Great oolong tea! You can really taste the oolong flavor. I ordered the lemon one and just a tea latte with tea jelly. I'd definitely recommend the lemon oolong, two drinks came out to be $13.99 and currently (8/14/2026) Friday afternoon the wait was still an hour from getting line to getting your drink. I'd definitely come back when the line die down. Parking was ok, it's in the 99ranch plaza, staff was friendly. read more

I was a bit surprised to see no line considering the hype and buzz I've heard about this tea spot, but I am definitely not complaining. I arrived around 5:50pm on a Sunday and I was able stand in line and receive my drinks within 20 minutes or so. The interior is stylish, modern, and there is a lot of seating closer to the back the store. The menu looks solid and my group ordered the dark roasted oolong tea, pearl milk tea, and golden pearl green milk tea with adjusted sugar of 50%. No complaints on the boba texture as well as the tea quality from my end. The adjustment helped balance out the sweet with the tea flavor and the large price of $6.25 is definitely appealing. If I had a location closer, I'd be going here instead of my usual boba spots. If they're this good on a soft opening, I'd like to come back when they're officially open since I have had a good first impression thus far. read more

First time trying Oolong Tea Project after hearing about it on social media! Newly opened in the Tawa Marketplace next to 99 ranch market. Current hours are from 12-7pm! Parking lot is large enough, but gets crowded due to customers from the market. Expect a 45-50 minute wait to order, then another 20 minutes to receive your drink. The line doesn't wrap around the store, it's located inside the lobby of 99 ranch market. So expect a little A/C and an indoor wait time. I would advise to bring a fan when it's 90F+ It's gets hot over time. When receiving the drinks, expect an automated number system to call out your order. It's hard to hear if you're sitting in the back of the store. I missed my order, and my drinks were melting on the counter. I ordered the: Light Roasted Tea latte - 50% sweet Very smooth and a light roasted taste. But overall slightly underwhelming. I expected more of a stronger tea forward taste. Dark Roasted Tea Latte w/ boba - 30% sweet. Boba is nicely chewy & has a brown sugar base. Again, underwhelming with the tea taste. Overall, decent experience, but I don't see myself adding the oolong tea project to my boba shop rotation. read more

Happen to be going to 99 ranch market around 3 o'clock on a Wednesday and saw there is barely people inside but unbeknownst to me that the lines with 20 ppl deep were inside the building . since I will be grocery shopping so my daughter waited in line. The lines were about 20 minutes to get inside the store but the wait for drinks are another 25 minutes even though there is only 10 orders ahead of ours. We ordered the regular milk bubble tea and passion fruit green tea. Both were mediocre at best. The problem with their setup is (1) they only have two kiosks for ordering and ppl are taking 3 to 5 min each to order so causing the waiting, but the real issue is (2)how slow they churned out the orders. With 6 ppl working on orders it should never take 25 min to make 10 orders. With long lines and mediocre drinks it will be a hard pass next time. read more

Agreed with the other reviews on here. Waited about an hour in total to order and getting the drink itself. Deep roasted oolong and golden boba green tea tasted healthy in the sense that it was wasn't too sweet, but the tea tasted healthy was mild. When the wait time dies down, it might be worth it. read more

I was lucky enough to have a friend who waited in line for me and order for me and another group of friends. This was the Monday right after their grand opening, so as you imagine, still quite busy. They have the line inside the 99 Ranch market indoor plaza part, so you don't have to wait out in the sun. They have complimentary water at the outside part before you enter the cafe, which is nice. Simple and modern interior, a couple seats on the inside. I suppose pet friendly since I've seen some dogs in and out, unclear if they were service dogs or not, but I can test this out with my bearded dragon one day maybe, trust. You order at a kiosk and then you can pick up your drinks after. Simple, minimal aesthetic. They have plastic cup holders and blue cup sleeves. Potentially maybe someone should have double checked their designs for things since one of the lids, unscrambled oolong and just says "GOON", so you're technically drinking GOON milk or GOON tea, very FUNNY. Anyways, I got to try their dark roasted oolong milk tea, which is recommended on their menu. I got it less ice, 50% sweet. It was alright. Slight roasted flavor, it's a standard oolong milk tea. For a place named Oolong Tea Project, I was expecting a stronger tea flavor. This tasted a bit watered down and diluted. I know it might be because I lowered the sweetness, but I do that so I don't drink sugar milk. I want to be able to taste more subtle flavors, I want the flavor of the tea to be enhanced. This was not it and I'd honestly mald if I had to wait 40 minutes - over an hour like some people. Maybe I'll give them another shot in the future and this was just being opened fumbles, but with so many overseas franchises coming to the US, I'm not sure that Oolong Tea Project can complete. I'd say it's on the same level of "flavor intensity" and quality as Chayan or Guiji (just not quite there yet) and can't compete with some of the heavy hitters that have entered the 626 Boba Wars (Chahalo, Molly Tea, Charlie's Tea, Chicha, Chagee, etc.). read more

Absolutely not. Light Oolong Tea Latte and the Roasted Oolong Tea Latte (1/5). Both tasted watered down, unsalvageable even with sugar. There was no tea flavor or even tea aroma. I've been to their locations in Taipei and Seoul, and whatever I drank here was not it. Take away the novelty of being new and you're left with $7 sugar water. For a place known for oolong, you're better off going to Guiji or Teazzi. +1 extra star for the great service though. read more

Love a new tea spot for Rowland Heights! My friend and I made the mistake of coming here after dinner at exactly 6:59pm without realizing that they closed at 7pm; fortunately, they were super understanding and let us in to order. We were quite literally the last order of the day! Onto the drinks, we got two: the dark roasted oolong tea latte with tea jelly and the hojicha milk tea with tea jelly. The oolong tea latte was very surprisingly pleasant. It had a nice balance of the roasted flavor I was looking for without losing out on the oolong flavor or being drowned out by the milk. The hojicha milk tea was good, but a tad grainy so I wasn't too into it. Tea jelly was just okay, it didn't really add or take away from the drink so I probably wouldn't get that again. Interior is nice and plenty of seats to hang out and enjoy your drinks. I hope they expand their hours later down the line, but I would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area. Thanks for not turning us away at the door :) read more

We went during their soft opening. Staff is not particularly friendly. Our drinks didn't have any mistakes like many others, we saw people complain to the staff that their drinks were not right while we were in line, but the drinks were not particularly tasty. Very sweet and hardly any tea flavor. We tried the spring lemon oolong, dark roasted oolong milk tea, and light roasted oolong tea and all 3 were very mediocre. Disappointing because we live so close, but probably won't be back. read more

I have been dying to try DeJENG Oolong Tea Project (得正) ever since I heard about their soft opening in Rowland Heights! Knowing how crazy the lines have been during their first few days, I was hesitant, but I finally decided to brave it around 1 PM on a Tuesday. Luckily, visiting on a weekday afternoon paid off with a much more manageable wait. I spent about 20 minutes in line to place my order and another 15 minutes waiting for my drinks to be freshly prepared. Having tried DeJENG in Taiwan before, I had high expectations coming in. To be completely honest, the tea flavor here doesn't quite hit the exact same level of depth and aroma as the original stores in Taiwan, but it is still a very solid and decent tea option for the San Gabriel Valley. We tried a spread of four drinks: the Sugar Cane Spring Oolong, Grapefruit Oolong, Dark Roasted Oolong, and Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea. Surprisingly, the Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea ended up being my absolute favorite of the group. The roasted tea notes carry a wonderful, cozy depth that pairs effortlessly with the creamy milk base. On the other hand, the fruit tea options fell a bit short for me; the fruit flavors didn't seamlessly blend with the earthy oolong base as well as I had hoped. However, adding their signature oolong tea jelly to every drink was the best decision of the day. The tea jelly is subtle, perfectly textured, and complements every single beverage wonderfully. Overall, it is a great new spot, and I will definitely be back for that milk tea! read more

My friend and I waited in line for over an hour, ordered a Light Oolong Milk Tea that had almost no tea flavor or milk flavor. It was extremely disappointing. My friend had the same drink yesterday, but today's had no oolong tea aroma at all. The quality is so inconsistent that I honestly don't want to come back. A few months ago, I had the same Light Oolong Milk Tea in Taiwan, and it had a rich yet refreshing oolong tea aroma with a creamy, full-bodied milk flavor. Compared to that, the one I had today at the LA location was a huge disappointment. 今天和朋友排隊等了一個多小時，結果買到了一杯幾乎沒有茶香、也沒有奶香的輕烏龍奶茶，真的非常失望。 和我同行的朋友昨天才喝過同一家奶茶，但今天這杯完全沒有烏龍茶的香氣，味道差異非常明顯。飲料品質竟然如此不穩定，讓人很難接受，也讓我不想再光顧。 幾個月前，我在台灣喝過同樣的輕烏龍奶茶，烏龍茶香濃郁又清新，奶香也十分醇厚，整體風味非常平衡。相比之下，今天在洛杉磯這家店喝到的品質實在令人非常失望。 read more

Love this new addition to the local F&B scene in Rowland Heights, all the way from Taiwan! Their drinks were immaculate, and had a strong tea flavor for those who enjoy the authenticity of chinese tea culture. Highly recommend their Oolong Tea bases, they had a depth of aroma and 茶味 (Cha Wei/Tea Flavor) in every sip. The store's interior is clean, modern, and minimalistic. I felt like I was in an Apple Store and the tea aromas hit right when I walked in, and a smooth and lingering feeling of relaxation flowed throughout. Make sure to stop by the next time you're in town, or when you're doing a grocery run or dining in the plaza! read more

Checked this place out on the second day of their soft opening, and I'm not sure I quite understand the hype. My boyfriend and I arrived around 20 minutes prior to their opening for the day, and there was already a long line, so we thought that it must be good if so many people were willing to wait. I ordered the pearl milk tea and found it to be below average in quality, even when compared to more inexpensive boba places like Sharetea or Sunright. If Oolong Tea Project is supposed to be more artisanal in quality, it was hard to tell. The drink itself was watery and bland, and it was difficult to detect an oolong tea flavor, or even a milk flavor, for that matter. The boba was hard and flavorless. My boyfriend got the grapefruit oolong tea with the oolong tea jelly, and it was decently flavorful. Aside from our somewhat lukewarm impression of the drinks, we found the staff to be friendly and efficient, passing out menus and cups of water to those waiting in line. They were also respectful of the restaurant next door, and made sure that the line was not obstructing their storefront. Overall, it was a somewhat disappointing experience, considering the drink I purchased was around $7 with tip. I'm chalking it up to the fact that they're in their soft opening phase, so hopefully it'll be better if I decide to visit again in the future. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 The space inside the store is pretty nice. It's clean and has many spots to sit. Service: 5/5 The staff managing the line was very informative and polite, same with the staff giving me my order. She apologized for the wait even though it wasn't that long. Drink: 2/5 I have a lot of Taiwanese friends hyping up this place, ofc it would not be the same as in Taiwan, however idk if it's the drink I chose or what but I wasn't the biggest fan of what I ordered. The oolong tea jelly is okay , very distinct oolong taste. Decent texture as well. Honestly don't take this as a negative about the business or the staff they probably made the drink exactly how it should be made. Hoping their other drinks suit me more. read more

Like other reviews, the drinks are good but since they are new wait times can be very long. We waited 40 mins to get our drinks. Luckily there's a grocery store next to OTP, so we killed some time in there. I think in a few months the hype will hopefully die down and their employees can be more trained and equipped to handle the constant flow. I would come back again, but not anytime soon. I got their green plum spring oolong tea and it's so refreshing! Their dark oolong milk tea was okay and not worth the wait. Also, all of their toppings were sold out. read more

Oolong Tea Project is easily one of the premier shops in Taiwan and are the newest to make the leap over the pacific and onto US soil! Nestled in Rowland heights in same plaza as 99 Ranch ample parking makes this new gem easily accessible! We got the chance to try out the Grapefruit Oolong Tea & the Dark Roasted Oolong Milk Tea (30% sweet w/boba) and was taken aback at how incredibly smooth the tea was! The grapefruit oolong tea was equal parts tart and refreshing and was perfect for the heat! We managed to make it just before they closed and the warm and friendly team welcomed us in! Boasting floor to ceiling windows and ample natural light you can't ask for a cleaner and brighter backdrop to enjoy this authentic taste of Taiwan! Will definitely be back for more!~ read more

Waiting for 30min for tea It was not good, watered down oolong even though I got no ice But pretty area read more

Very average at best. I tend to like drinks with more mild taste. 100% is too sweet, 50% is the right level where the flavor is overpowering and can still taste the tea flavor. Sorry never again, which is disappointing since I had such high hopes for this place due to the hype. read more

A coworker grabbed me this drink during her lunch break and I have to say, I don't get the hype. Let's start by saying I've been to the plaza twice in its opening week and noticed the lines that stretches into the main hall in front of the 99 Ranch market. I feel like it's another aunties jenny tea kind of hype, and after my first taste... Yup, that's exactly what it is. I can't speak on the service as I wasn't the one standing in line and placing the order, but the green plum spring oolong tea was decent at best. The flavor was faint and the jelly at the bottom blended decently with the drink... but as other reviewers have stated, the tea flavor was a bit watered down. I'm thankful my coworker got me this drink, but I think there are so many better tea spots in the area to settle on just the hype of a new spot. I would say it's fine if there was no wait and you are already close by, but if you need to make a drive and wait in a line, you'll find that it simply isn't worth it. read more
