    I like this place. I won't lie, the inside is a bit empty and they can definitely do a lot more with all the space they have, but I'm also not sure if they're going for more of a spacious vibe. Otherwise, I like how easy it is to place an order and how quickly things come out, even during busier hours. The drinks are too notch and I've never really had to go back and ask for any changes. Solid option in this area.

    Thai Milk Tea

    Got a matcha oolong milk tea and Thai tea and both were equally delicious. Place is clean and well maintained. Service is fast and great. Shall be back again.

    One of the best milk teas in Los Angeles and definitely the best in Little Tokyo. I don't know what TV they use, but it is very flavorful and fresh. The topping selection is very nice and ordering on the kiosk makes it simple and quick.

    Nice place! Some seating with a nice Christmas tree for the holidays. They have a lot of options on their menu. Looks like only self ordering kiosks. I ordered the brown sugar espresso boba oat latte. Sweet with a good espresso flavor coming through. Thank you!

    Jasmine Milk Tea with boba
    Jennifer H.

    I ordered Jasmine green milk tea 25% sugar with boba. Normally this combination is good at other boba places. But my drink tasted way too sweet. It tasted like 100% sweetness. Boba was also a little hard. The inside of this location is spacious. There's seats for people to sit down but no tables really. It does look like there were tables before. This location is next to shinshengumi & offers validation when you park in the lot connected to the building. Otherwise it's $12 per hour. From what I saw you can only order through a kiosk, which is like most boba places now.

    My drink was amazing!! Nothing to complain about! Since I ordered on the kiosk I didn't really have any type of service. Only the employee calling my name for my drink that was it. The biggest complaint I have unfortunately was the inside was very dirty! None of the menu screens were on, one kiosk was out of order, under the seating was very very dirty almost looks like mold. There are supplies everywhere as if there is no storage area. This place looks like maybe at one time it was packed with customers and well kept up but now literally looks VERY UNKEPT! Truly unfortunate because the drinks are amazing. I'd probably come back and hopefully next time around it's cleaner inside! Anyway here are some pics of the amazing drink I had!

    Mango Jasmine Tea
    Stephanie T.

    Loved that the mango was very rich and not just a syrup - can see in the picture! Service was SO NICE and friendly, and the ambiance was a clean, modern, open air atmosphere with a curvy bench for seating. Right on the outskirts of Little Tokyo, definitely worth it!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is a long overdue boba review. This place is one of my regular spots, and my go-to order is Ceylon tea with cheese foam and agar boba, no ice, 25% sweetness. This time I tried Ceylon tea with crème brûlée and agar boba, still good, but can't beat the cheese foam combo. It's one of the few boba shops that offer Ceylon tea, and you have to try it. Highly recommended.

    Thai Milk Tea + Creme Brulee Boba Milk
    Allen V.

    I come here occasionally, the space is a neat little hang out spot and fast paced as far as in and out for your drink orders. The boba here is really good, one of my most preferred in Little Tokyo. You order at the kiosk, so it's quick. Staff doesn't talk much, but they get the orders done quick.

    Great drinks ruined by an unapproachable and unfriendly staff member. Came by on Sunday (2/23/25) at noon on the last day of the AFK Journey collaboration event. The AFK Journey staff are great, wish I could say the same for the staff preparing drinks. They have to self service kiosk, but imaging having them take your orders. The place is spacious, high ceilings, plenty of seating. Nice location and not too busy The event drinks and usual are great. We got both the event drinks, Thai tea, and lychee oolong tea. The avocado sesame drink was delicious, you can taste the avocado and sesame whereas other places, the avocado is hardly noticeable. Sweetness and texture was perfect to my liking. What really soured the experience was the staff member calling out orders and serving drinks at that time. Must've been in a bad mood or having a bad days but it's inexcusable for them to be in the service industry. Or just make drinks and don't talk to customers. She basically called out numbers and left drinks for multiple orders out and basically had us figure out ourselves whose drink went with what order. Sure, let me pick up each drinks and check if it's mine. Thanks! We asked for a bag for our four drinks, since we weren't going to drink them right away. She gave us the dirtiest look like it was such an inconvenience for her. She took out the bag and handed us one finally but the look of questioning why we had asked for bags was so disrespectful. This place really needs to train their staff on customer service. It wasn't even that busy! I've gone to Gardena, Rowland heights, and other locations and didn't get this horrible treatment. Gardena actually packed it up in a bag for us when we ordered 4 drinks and even gave us the appropriate straws for our drinks. I'll go back when there's an exclusive event, but the service here leaves much to be desired.

    We randomly came across this pretty solid boba spot in Little Tokyo! They've got a nice variety of drinks, everything from classic and milk teas to cheese foam, matcha, fruit teas, Yakult blends, frosties, and even coffee. I went with the mango Yakult with lychee jelly since I wanted something light after eating, and it was super refreshing. Also, you can order from a kiosk when you walk in, which makes the whole process really quick and easy.

    Panda milk tea
    Danielle D.

    I tried the panda milk tea which is a ceylon milk tea that comes with brown sugar and honey boba, less ice and less sweet. For me, it was too sweet, not enough tea flavor shining through and boba was too soft and lacking flavor.

    Andrew W.

    First time coming here as one of my friends wanted to quench the thirst! She got a bottle of sunlight milk tea (the most popular one) with 50% sweetness! Twas a great choice! Cheers

    Do ygs take cash?

    Hi Nhu! That’s a great question, unfortunately, at this time we no longer take cash payments and instead only take card or apply pay. American Express is always welcome. Hope this helps!

    Can you adjust caffeine level?

    Hi, I am afraid not. Our teas are freshly brewed in small batches throughout the day. Some drinks will have less caffeine like the Four Seasons Latte and our Oat Brulee series. Other drinks have no caffeine like all the Sunright Boba Milks,… 

    Are your drinks vegan-friendly?

    Hi, yes. All our fruit teas are vegan friendly and our milk teas have an almond or oat milk option. Do not order the cheesefoam, creme brulee, honey boba or puddings. Hope that helps.

    Asking for all my lactose intolerant people here - does your house milk have dairy in it?

    Hi Lisa, our housemilk is made from a non-dairy creamer base and has a little evaporated and condensed milk added, many customers with dairy sensitivity like myself report they have no issues with our housemilk but to play it safe we do offer almond… 

    I heard the soft opening has a Bogo promo. How long is the bogo promo going to last?

    Hi, our bogo promo is only for our grand opening this weekend, 4/17 and 4/18 from 12-9pm. :)

    Hi just wondering when you guys will be opening :D?

    Hi, we will soft open next Monday 4/5 at 3pm. Please stop by and grab some boba :)

Seating is limited, though they do offer a few outdoor tables and a bench inside while you wait for your drinks. The service was great. The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip.

I wanted to grab some coffee beans and they were out of stock at the time. The initial atmosphere seemed nice, so perhaps I should consider coming back on a less busy day.
