I came here last weekend because I was craving popcorn chicken and Tastea has the spiciest, crunchiest, bang-for-your-buck popcorn chicken out there. The service was quick and my drink and food were ready within 5-10 minutes. Customers started strolling in soon after and it was pretty busy. Half way through the drink, there was a foul smell that hit me like a truck!!! I wasn't sure if it came from the trash can or if someone stepped in poo and walked out. A few of the other customers and I started starring at each other because it was so sudden and the employees hadn't done anything about it until they heard us whispering. When they finally noticed, they threw out the trash and took out the mats but the smell still lingered. Something could've died in the vents but I had to get out of there because my sister and I started gagging. Not the best, first experience here :/ read more

The boba game is tough in OC, arguably there's more boba shops per block than there are Starbucks. Five stars to Tastea for consistently being delicious and great service. They are notorious for making you a new drink if you aren't too thrilled with the one you got. I asked for a sample in an effort to try something new and they don't do samples since drinks are made to order. She assured me that if I didn't like the new one I could always go to my all time favorite lychee peachy (sub green tea and less sweet with honey boba). I didn't return because the passion attraction was a great change up and super delicious as well. read more

Yummy. Generally pretty good. Sometime feels like up sales for all the add ins and feel sad when I end up with like a $6 drink on a 7-11 budget. But it's a nice treat now and the . read more

It shouldn't take 40mins to make a milk tea. If you missed the mobile order, please admit it. Don't lie to your customer and saying you're in the process of making it ... not once but twice when I checked in. You didn't start making the milk tea til I complained that I have been waiting for a long time. I love Tastea thought I would receive the same customer service experience at another location but I was wrong. read more

Sooo good. Just wish one was in Las Vegas. Im not a tea drinker but Tastea has turned me. I enjoy that you can choose the amount of sweetness and how sweet you want it read more

My favorite tea place! I love all their teas and smoothies! Amazing strawburst is my go-to during the hot summer months. It's pretty amaaazing! Everything is so delicious! The popcorn chicken is hot and spicy. The fries are crispy and flavorful. This specific location has dining tables inside to hang out and eat compared to the one in Garden Grove which only has like two tables outside. Service is always friendly and fast. read more

I really like Tastea and this is no exception. I'm actually a fan of the one in Chino Hills and I am now a fan here. I can say that I do prefer the chicken in Chino Hills better. Maybe I just got a not as good batch, but it was still good. The drink is just as how I remember: full of flavor and very refreshing. If you are not a fan of spices this place probably isn't for you. I recommend the level 2 spiciness. It is just the right amount to me. The shop is clean and is the size of a normal boba shop. There are no complaints about the service. I'll come again and make sure to try all the drinks. read more

I hadn't been to a tastea in a long time and was super excited to try it again. My drink was delicious and make faster than expected but the guy who rang me and my cousin up seems to only have good costumer service when it comes to Asians. He was a complete asshole to every costumer that walked up of any other ethnicity, no matter how nice they were when they walked up. I could understand being an ass if we were rude to him in anyway. I work in the service industry and I get how it works, customers are rude to you and you're fed up after a long shift but we were kind and tipped him and he still continued to be short and snarky with my cousin. Horrible customer service on his part. The ladies making drinks in the back, yall making bomb ass drinks! Keep it up read more

This place is good. I like how theres cute names for the drinks. Staff is friendly too. -Kay Von Kakes read more

Tastea - Strawberry Ecsteasy - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My fav boba place in OC! I always get the Peach Me Sweet Tea w/ honey boba, and it satisfies my cravings every time. I haven't tried any of the other drinks because this is my absolute favorite. The place is kind of small, but it's a nice place to hang out at with another friend or couple of friends. The service is always extremely fast. I'm always so shocked at how fast my drink comes out, even when the line is long. So if you see a long line, don't be discouraged--It'll pass quickly! read more

The lady forgot the boba!!! Then they were out yet I had been satisfied with honey boba. But I like balls in my mouth so that is for the extra star. read more

I always order a Peach Me Sweetea (peach & strawberry organic* black tea with bits of both) with honey boba and Popcorn Shrimp, spicy level, medium with a side of sweet and sour sauce. Tastea's make the best popcorn shrimp and the spicy dust on top packs the perfect amount of heat. The serving is generous enough to be shared between 2 people. read more

The boba here is soo good! I'm a boba expert with a boba masters degree and my goodness the quality and the taste is a yes!!! I live in a whole different city and got I boba out here! read more

I love Tastea - I wish I lived closer!! I've only tried their drinks here but the popcorn chicken is pretty popular too. I like their fruity drinks here because they're so unique and each fruity tea drink has its own punny name. My favorite is the strawberry ecteasy. It's a strawberry and black tea blend with bits of grass jelly. It's pretty sweet but refreshingly sweet and the tea doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your tongue like milk teas sometimes do. I've also tried the tootea fruitea which also has a black tea base but I think there are lychee or longan fruit bits. It is also refreshingly sweet. The boba here is also unique - its green! It's honey boba, I believe so it should be a little bit sweeter than usual boba, but when I tried it, it tasted like regular boba. I've also had a few sips of their fruit smoothies which are equally as awesome as their fruity teas. Definitely love going to Tastea and definitely recommend as a boba place to try!! read more

Had the Golden Milk Tea, size Even More. It was pretty good, though if unaltered was too sweet for me. Then when made less sweet it had little tea flavor. On the whole, a nice place to hang out. read more

The customer service is amazing. You are greeted once you enter through the door! All the workers are really welcoming and friendly. My favorite drink to get is passion attraction w/ honey boba!! If it's a hot day, I'd get peach me freezie w/ honey boba! Although their drinks are a bit pricey, it's def worth it. read more

So hooked on this place...so long sonic slushees, this place is the real deal! I've been here 3 times in one week and can't wait to come back for more. The choices are wonderful, the service is quick and friendly! Not all that extra sugar like other places. The watermelon heaven lives up to its name. Legit slushies! Mango slushees is also very tasty! read more

Convenient to the 405, I always frequent this particular Tastea when I'm visiting home in the OC or about to leave for LA. Because I'm a gluttonous boba fiend, I always splurge for the large size to satiate the thirst for great boba. Pro tip: you can switch out the teas which use black tea for green tea! I've frequented this shop more times than I can remember (or would like to admit) but every single time the drinks come out at the perfect balance of tea taste to sweetness. Should anything not come to your liking, the service team is super quick to swoop in and make any adjustments too! As for their food, the popcorn chicken has always been on point every single time I order it. Their spiciest level goes down great with a Peach Me Sweetea. Their fries are really good too and what I do is, pro tip number two, ask for the popcorn chicken spice powder on the side so I can sprinkle and extra season the fries to have a spicier kick. Really nice people and great drinks and snacks, Tastea is as good as it gets! read more

Got a free 8 oz. of oolong milk tea. Can you believe it would've been $3.85???? Prices have skyrocketed. Not a fan of the milk teas - seems kinda watered down to me but I do love their quick and efficient service. Ordering through the all is also seamless. read more

I don't give 5 stars review, but when I do, it's only for good balls.. Boba balls that is. I am very picky with my boba drinks since I've worked in boba stores before and know what most places put in their drinks. Tastea has always been my favorite since their drinks are always on point, fresh and delicious. Most importantly, their boba balls are always fresh and soft but chewy. Most boba places will sell you old boba that are hard and dry. The staff at this location and any other locations are always friendly and sweet. One thing I would def recommend- don't over season the fries anymore. They were way too salty and paired with the chicken made it impossible to finish. We ended up throwing away the fries and just ate the chicken. read more

We got a screw in our fries.!!!! Came here during lunch and we got a bunch of drinks for our co-worker. When we got back to the shop and see the screw in the fries . We called them back and they only offer 10$ gift card. !!!! What!?!! Who knows what else they'd fried the foods with. What if a kid were eating it and got choked on it. We feel like they should have handle this case better then just give us $10 back. So when we came back to talk to them about the incident, we get to talk to Eason and he push me over to his supervisor (which we didnt get her name). She just ask for my name and just give us the gift card with an attitude. We told them to please not make to make a mistake like this again and she was just smile at me without saying a word. wtf..... read more

I love their Tootea Fruitea and Golden Milk Tea. I also enjoy their regular boba. My mom got the taronut which she adored. Overall, it's my go-to boba shop in the area. I also remember ordering popcorn chicken a couple years ago and remember them not being too bad. It's a good snack if you're a little hungry there. read more

It's so hard to go to places now without having to wait in line but I love coming to this Tastea location because there's never a line! The service here is fast!

The watermelon heaven is a seasonal drink and yummy to try too when available! read more

Awful service. I ordered online and quoted a time and it was not done by then. Not only that, i walked and was not greeted nor asked if i need anything. Then bags of food are brought out and mine was left on their counter with no one calling my name out??? You would think they want to deliver the product ASAP. No wonder this location is dead. Absolutely no customer service read more

Really amazing popcorn chicken. Unfortunately the fryer is always off whenever I go. I'm lucky if I even get popcorn chicken... Bummer.

Tastea is my favorite boba place in OC, bar none. Without sounding too girly, my favorite drink is the Oh La La. It's like a pina colada with strawberries. I've also tried different flavors and they've always been pretty lit. You really can't go wrong with a drink choice here. I highly recommend Tastea. Go. Now. read more

Tastea - Oh la la - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

When my friend and I were ordering, I forgot to mention that I wanted boba, so I didn't mind when they asked me to pay another 60 cents because it was completely my fault. I paid them 60 cents with coins and even though the amount of boba given was absolutely ridiculous, we just let it be. But later my friend found that they charged him AGAIN for the 60 cents! So in total, we paid $1.20 for the smallest amount of boba. $1.20 is not a large sum, but it's just the ethics behind it is really disappointing. The tea was actually pretty good, but I think my friend and I have lost complete faith in this branch. read more

Obsessed with their Thai matcha milk tea; Would highly recommend that or the "Oh La La" blended drink which is a blend of pineapple and strawberries that give a tropical taste. Their chicken is also addictive as hell, and yes they raised their prices in the last year but at the same time you got a lot more options now and for how much you get it's worth it. I would also like to special mention a worker by the name of Brandon, he's absolutely lovely and remembers my name and drink, plus, he's always a ray of sunshine when I come in and it's nice to be recognized for how often I go there. I definitely recommend this boba spot. read more

We got the peach me sweet tea and it tasted very watered down - barely any tea flavor. However, the boba was a good texture. The karate chicken was delicious - came out nice and hot. TLDR - watered down drink, good chicken read more

I just moved to the area and was scouting some boba places nearby and came across this location. I ordered one of the smoothies off their menu (forgot which one) and it was really delicious. Customer service was great and a huge thanks to the supervisor, Adam, for giving recommendations and helping me make up my mind haha read more

Gotta love tastea!!! Big fan of their drinks. Got their matcha thai and it was yummy! Usually get fruitteas but was feeling for some milk

Came for a late night snack. I got an order of the mild shrimp on it. The shrimp was lightly battered and fried. The batter was crispy in texture and the shrimp plump and juicy. It is a bit on the greasy side, and for me, the mild flavor was a bit spicier than what I expected. I am not good at handling spicy food. It is a bit salty but it balances well with a drink. The tables and counters were clean looking for the most part. When I sat down to enjoy my food, the table had a slight sticky touch to it, like someone spilled their drink and it wasn't cleaned up properly. The store is open and it has a spacious feel to it. The service is quick and friendly. There is ample of parking because it is in a plaza with other restaurants and a Stater Bros grocery market. read more

Love your drinks but gotta do something about your customer service skills! Visited today as my daughter wanted a drink today. I placed my order online as I had to go to work and just wanted to get there, pick them off and go. Parked and asked my daughter to get them so we could leave fast and she was ask to show the phone confirmation. How many people are you going to get coming in giving you the name America asking for her drinks. Anyway. My daughter was given her drinks without straws. How are we supposed to consume them!!! I called on my way back to give them feedback and perhaps to get an apology. The person I spoke to right away said, "we cannot compensate you with other products mam!". What kind of F*%$$%^ comment is that to start a service call with? I advised that I was not calling to ask for compensation but to give feedback, to which the employee said, you can always come back and get your straws." LOL. Really!!! In these crisis days, where customers aren't allowed to consume their food inside your premises, the least you can do is make sure you are doing your job THE RIGHT WAY. If you don't like your job, please leave and find yourself a job where customer service skills are not required (good luck with that by the way). "Thank your feedback mam. We'll make sure this does not happen again to you or any of our clients", is more of the conversation I was hoping to have. read more

I loved the lychee smoothie, the workers were really friendly & helped with the order choice! They were super patient! I took my friends there & they loved it too! read more

I love Tastea and really love their rewards!! My new go to for sure! I've had probably 6 different drinks and every single one was so good!

Dropped by after dinner to try the famous Peach Me Sweetea and ordered it with no ice and 25% sugar. Unfortunately, I should've ordered it with 0% sugar (or not at all) because it was incredibly sweet, to the point where I couldn't even consume it because I felt like I was drinking sugar water. The added fruit tasted like artificial syrupy canned fruit and was already super sweet, so the tea really didn't need any extra sugar. While the drink was a disappointment, I had no complaints with the location or the service. If I ever end up at Tastea again, I'll try and give a different drink a chance. read more
