Very good tea!!!! Nice service. Small place so not the best to sit, but still rather nice and in weller court so you can just sit on any of the outside tables. My sibling and I got wildberry tea and honeydew milk tea both drinks tasted like our childhoods. Not all that much to say really. Parking is validated 1 hour if you buy $25 worth from the grocery store in the plaza. Wee bought oodles of noodles and also candy and also a gift for a friend and also yuzu sauce. I detail this so if you want to have the full experience of buying a bunch of items and then stuffing them in your pants until they sag because you don't have belt loops and don't want to pay a couple cents for a bag out of sheer stubbornness then you can. You can be me. Congratulations on your new life read more

Tasty teas, quick service, and fair prices make this spot a great find. There's a wide variety of drink options along with small bites, so there's something for everyone. Although the space is small, the woman behind the counter works hard to keep up with orders, which is appreciated. I'd definitely come back to try more drinks--and I'd be sure to pair them with the delicious lychee jellies again. Yum! read more

Polite and friendly service. Coffee milk tea tasted of freshly brewed coffee (yum!). Boba was perfectly soft and delightfully sweet. Japanese soufflée pancake (known as "air pancake" here) was everything I had hoped it would be. Texture of the pancake was so fluffy and moist--close to bread pudding but even lighter. Looking forward to coming back my next visit. Give me at 20. read more

Super small and assuming boba spot, but the staff was so kind and the service was so quick! They have an extensive menu and lots of seasonal drinks. I ordered the Peach Oolong Milk Tea and it was sooo good. Definitely want to their their lemonade series and fresh OJ soon. Also available are Japanese pancakes! read more

Amazing service super friendly. The spot is like in the corner of the mall lol. We went at night and it looked super hidden like a hidden gem lol. But it was good actually, sweetness is accurate and actual boba wasn't bad at all especially the time we went which was near closing time. The inside looked decent as well. Not the biggest but vibes. read more

I have been here four times now and it is the way I end my trips to Little Tokyo every time I visit - they are not only super welcoming and kind - their drinks are tasty wonderful delicious - my favorite is the jasmine green tea lightly sweetened and the pink panther lemonade so fast and yummy read more

This place is a hidden gem for sure. I've been to Weller Court multiple times but somehow missed this place, normal because I'm in a hurry but today I was just casually walking Weller Court & saw it. Little Toyko definitely has it shares of tea places, but I like variety & if variety is what you like, then Sharp Tea is definitely for you. They also have delicious pastries and the fluffy pancakes are so good. Sharp Tea is a small place tucked in a corner next to Tokyo Central. The owner was super nice and very helpful. The place is small, not good for big groups. There's no seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating. The variety of teas are great and the fluffy pancakes are delicious, try the strawberry ones. read more

After a long walk, a fruit tea is just what's needed to quench the thirst! We ordered the unique fruit tea with lychee jelly.

The good: Hot take: there can never be enough boba shops. I tried the winter melon lemonade and it was delicious! It was featured on their poster. I am not sure if it was seasonal. I love the unique flavor of winter melon. I've never seen this combination before. The flavors balanced well and it was refreshing and unique. My toddler liked it too. The cashier was attentive and quick. The drink was made quickly. They had outdoor seating and benches. They're located in an area with a lot of Japanese shops. They sell a lot of fun foods here too like popcorn chicken and fluffy Japanese-style souffle pancakes. The bad: The interior's small and there isn't much room in there to lounge or stand. There are maybe 2-4 chairs inside. Parking is difficult in this area. I parked for free on the street but it was about an 8-10 minute walk away. The interesting: The sharpest thing about Sharp Tea are their straws! They were super pointed and pokey. read more

My first time ever trying air souffle pancakes was at Sharp Tea. I frequent this place often since I visit Kinokuniya Bookstore and Marukai Market right across from it. It's a tiny little hole in the wall shop. There is no seating inside, just enough room to order and then you have to exit. There's a bench right outside the door you can wait while they prepare your boba and/or your souffle pancake. The pancake is EXPENSIVE. Average cost is $14-16, depending which one you choose. They are super delicious! I love these air pancakes. The downside is the cost and sometimes the wait. The last time I visited it was a 30 minute wait! I understand that souffle pancakes take time. I know this review is going on and on about the pancakes, but their boba drinks are good too! I've treated a few people to these pancakes and they love them! Super delicious. Worth the wait? Yes, as long as you have patience and time. There are places to sit as long as it's not a busy, crowded weekend. The ambiance is ok, it's a very tiny shop. Service is good, they're baseline polite and friendly. They don't over do it or fake it. They aren't rude either. Honestly, just come for the air souffle pancakes! read more

This was an unexpected stop. I was so surprised by the flavors and how soft the boba was . The orange ice tea was just right and not to sweet or bitter. 10/10 for the owner /cashier helping us out and we are a fan of this place! read more

I'm so happy I found this cozy cozy coffee shop. Employees are always welcoming and sweat. Tried their Tiramisu drink and it 10/10.

Blended Thai tea tasted very watered down, little Thai tea flavor & not sweet. Husband got a coffee milk tea and did not like it. Said it tasted weird and couldn't explain why. read more

Ordered a lemon black tea here, with less ice and regular sugar; it was good (they used real lemons and not lemon syrup). The staff were friendly + the inside of the store was small.

Don't let the inside fool you!!!! The inside of the shop is super small and you have to place your order and then step outside to wait for it to be made. It's also super hot inside. BUT the drinks are well worth it. I ordered the white peach oolong tea and the pink panther strawberry lemonade (no toppings in either-- toppings are extra). The drinks were absolutely delicious. Dare I say absolutely scrumptious. The tea had a great depth of flavor and the lemonade had real fruit pieces. They were also made super fast. I literally stepped outside after ordering and blinked and my drinks were done. Some reviews have said that it was hard to find. It's directly under the kpop music town and directly next to the stairs. Walk around the stairs and it'll smack you in the face. read more

We were visiting Little Tokyo for the new Bandai Gachapon shop down the street and stumbled upon this boba shop! We have been wanting to try some boba spots out here that we haven't been to and this was the one we ended up choosing due to ratings and photos. :) thanks Yelpies! We walked into the plaza and stood in the middle, trying to find this place. It's actually hidden behind the staircase so you can't see it coming in from the main plaza LOL. We were so lost! It was raining a bit too so we got a little soaked. They don't have indoor seating or anything and it's a very, very tiny hole in the wall. Basically only enough room for 2 parties to order what they want and then you have to wait outside for your order. They keep the door open for that reason. We were second in line which gave us time to look at the menu. I wanted to try their coffee drinks so I went for an iced cafe latte with double boba and my bf got a classic milk tea with boba. We also ordered a chocolate air pancake (soufflé pancake) and the guy told us they had to make a new batch which would take about 30-45 min. We were fine with it since we wanted to check out the other shops in the plaza anyway. We walked around for a bit and then headed over 5 minutes before our estimated time. We had the drinks in hand already which were delicious by the way! I definitely preferred my bf's milk tea drink over mine. Had a really good sweetness and milk tea flavor. My latte was a little too strong/bitter and could've used a bit more cream and sweetener BUT I enjoyed it regardless. I needed my coffee for the day and this did the job. Our pancake was ready when we went over there so we picked it up, asked for a lid, and then headed home to enjoy to avoid the rain and wet tables/seats. Unfortunately by the time we got home, the pancake was super soggy and we couldn't finish it. I'm sure it would've tasted amazing if eaten fresh which we will have to try next time! The workers were super sweet and the boba was delicious. Looking forward to coming back! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Me and my boyfriend stopped here for some yummy boba milk teas on our way to a concert! This whole little shopping center is so adorable and chill. it had lovely live music and cute attractions with so many shops. Kail and i ordered the lavender black tea with boba. we both give it a 10/10. It wasn't over sweetened, unlike many other boba tea shops, which was spectacular. it had such a nice floral and black tea taste. We also got the strawberry matcha with boba and it was really yummy!! the strawberry purée was super sweet and tasted well with the matcha tea. The two workers were very friendly and sweet and had our orders out super quick! :) read more

A lovely little shop tucked away in a corner. A friend and I had passed by some other boba places due to their long lines and were surprised to see that Sharp Tea didn't have any customers inside when we stopped by. Staff were very kind and our drinks were delicious - they would've been worth a long wait! The seating right outside was also a nice bonus. read more

I ordered online. I walked over during jury duty. I arrived at 12:45 only to see a sign saying that they were closing early around 3:00 PM. But it wasn't even 1pm. So I called GrubHub to get my order canceled annoying waste of time. read more

This was my first time trying soufflé pancakes! I got the strawberry air pancake and the tiramisu pancake. I came here a couple months ago but I thought I should share my thoughts on this place. The pancakes were excellent! They were very soft and fluffy and also aesthetically pleasing. They also have other options here like boba. The only reason I'm giving this place 4/5 stars is because I think they could've been better in quality and portion. The portion size was small, I wish they would've been bigger. If you're near Little Tokyo and want to try soufflé pancakes I highly recommend this place! read more

I was surprised their soufflé pancakes they call "air pancakes" were actually good and done right. I just didn't like that it took 30+ minutes to make. It's served in a big paper bowl so you can take it with you and eat it wherever you can find a place to sit because there's nowhere to sit inside their place. read more

Located in Little Tokyo, Sharp Tea is one of several independent bubble tea shops that has proprietary presentations and flavors and Japanese style pancakes. They were really busy the day we popped in, because it's so small inside everyone has to wait outside after ordering and paying. The area was a bit crowded and maintaining 6' distancing was nye on impossible. We stood further out but before that we watchedone employee having a bad day. We didn't see what may have started it but she wasn't having any bullshit off this one guy who claimed they messed up their order. It was nearly closing time so who knows what really happened? Anyhow, we liked our choices and it was refreshing on a hot August day. The colors are really nice and I'd definitely return to try something new. Be nice to employees, they're working hard and often short-staffed at many establishments. read more

Got the tiramisu souffle pancakes. The texture was light and fluffy, but taste-wise was lacking. The wafers tasted like tiramisu, but otherwise, the pancakes tasted pretty plain. The sauce on top just tasted like whipped cream. Pricey for what you get ($15). Of note, the place is small and there's no bathroom. If you needed a bathroom, you need to buy something from the nearby grocery store to get a key for the public restroom. read more

PRO-TIP: They do NOT validate parking for the structure here. Small trendy boba cafe tucked in the corner of Weller Court near the stairs that descend into the parking structure underneath. Came on a Friday around noon time and there was only a slight wait for our drinks (training a newbie who accidentally put in our order for a Peach Oolong Milk tea instead of a peach oolong tea- turned out to be okay though). There's not much space so aside from a couple or two, I wouldn't want to wait inside here if you're still a bit squicked out by being too close to others. We got the: 1) Pink Panther Peach Sparkling: -NOT dairy free, it has Yakult-like yogurt in it. -Comes with lychee and the pink part of the drink was shimmery. -It's a soda like drink, not bad, but not mind blowing either 2) Peach Oolong Milk Tea: -My friend is lactose intolerant so we had to doubly make sure that this was dairy free, and apparently it was. -Even with less sugar, it is still pretty sweet. -It's alright, nothing that you can't get in the 626. Definitely a trendy place to get drinks & it's nice that they got fluffy pancakes here, but if I were to choose a boba place in LT, I'd err towards Milk + T. Maybe I just haven't found THE drink here yet. read more

Tried this place for the first time and they do have a good variety of things it seems, but there isn't much description about the interesting sounding drinks. I asked one of the employees about the drinks, and received a vague and rude response. The other employee was very friendly and accommodating so I guess at least they balance each other out. My sister got the peach oolong milk tea and I got the pink panther watermelon. They're both not bad, but wish I knew more about what I was ordering. If you love surprises and only surprises, you can come here. Would have been 4 stars but I was so turned off by the negative attitude that it became 3. read more

Japanese pancakes! Not too many options here for Japanese pancakes (original, boba, chocolate,strawberry, tiramisu). Got the strawberry with boba on top. Ugh these are not cheap ($11) and they're not huge although you can share one as a dessert. The cakes were fluffy but that strawberry whipped topping was delicious! And add the boba giving more texture and sweetness. I wish they added more strawberries like the pictures though. Also got a drink, lava flow boba chocolate. Was initially sweet but more of a dark chocolate taste. It was good though. I was thinking it was chocolate syrup, good thing they didn't use straight up syrup. The boba texture was good and chewy and they sweetened it. read more

Not real Japanese pancakes. Not worth the money. No seating. Hard to find and no parking. Service was chaotic.

Sharp Tea is the best! The shop is tiny, so it's very much a takeout boba joint. The menu is simple so it's easy to order quickly. My favorites are jasmine green tea and oolong tea! Service is amazing - the staff here really take care of you and are friendly and quick. They offer stamp cards for boba addicts like myself. I have yet to try their famous air pancakes so I'll update this review ASAP! Excited to come back! Sharp Tea is located in the Weller Plaza. They share the ground floor with Marukai, Rice & Nori, and the anime gift shop. I don't believe they validate parking, but Marukai does. Come and visit! read more

It is breaking my heart that I am giving this boba milk tea spot only three stars. I love milk tea and boba, so it is rare that I would give it only three stars. While I like their milk tea and boba, I just can't get over the service and the smell of the place. Look, this is a tiny spot and certainly not designed to drink, eat and hangout; however, service should include at least a "hello" and the place should be maintained enough that strange odor isn't the most memorable thing about the visit. While this spot is convenient for me, I don't know if I will return. I like their milk tea and boba, but it isn't like I love them. read more

My second time coming here and i've yet to be impressed. It's a convenient spot for a boba shop since it's literally in a Little Tokyo shopping center. The cashier was very helpful and was able to answer all the questions i inquired. I ordered the Sharp Milk Tea, which he mentioned is the best seller. It's a non dairy milk tea with brown sugar-- not too sweet which is perfect. I added boba and egg pudding. It was okay. The drink overall was okay. Not bad but not so good either. The boba is chewy but not sweet. The egg pudding tasted better than the boba and it's the perfect sweetness. Looking through the reviews, it seems like their pancakes are where it's at. So that's probably something i can try if i choose to come back for another visit. read more

I consider myself something of a bubble tea connoisseur. I picked up a non-dairy taro flavored tea with boba. It was OK. Would I get it again? Sure. It simply didn't pack the punch of flavor I'm used to when getting my boba elsewhere. read more

Husband and I ordered a brown sugar milk tea (not pictured), and a tiramisu air pancake (see picture). The drink is refreshing and goes along with the air pancake. We didn't add any additional toppings on the pancake. It was air-y, smooth, and delicous! It's a really small shop, so there really wasn't any place to sit inside. BUT, they do have a small seating area right outside. There are additional seatings available in the plaza. read more
