    We're back for their large karate chicken (their version of popcorn chicken). This is the only place I'm willing to drive to when it's not a convenient stop. The tea menu I am reminded are quite basic, and their milk teas are made with a non-dairy product. My Thai/matcha half half ptea was drinkable, though not particularly exciting.

    Ordered no ice and came like this :( $8 each

    Ordered the unknown, lychee peachee, avocado avalanche for $8 each and peach blossom milk tea 20 ounce of $5.95. Uber Eats. Avocado avalanche always hits but for eight dollars and 20 ounces that's pretty expensive. The unknown, lychee and peach blossom we ordered no ice and they only came 3/4 of the way full. Honestly you're not saving money by giving me less drink, I find that ridiculous and disappointing. The peach drink in particular came halfway full, not even 3/4 of the way, see pics. Just for that it does not make me want to come back here. Tastetea is not losing money on me by filling the cup a few more inches, it barely costs them anything. I'm not drinking the drink right away and therefore I don't want ice which would end up melting and watering down the drink. My husband and I just find this bad business practice so I don't think we'll be ordering again. I basically paid eight dollars for a half filled drink

    Still my favorite place! Got the strawberry banana and it was delish. Just a small drive thru place with a dine in area and patio. And the popcorn chicken is always flavorful

    Thank you for the cup of ice. I do love the flavor of the tea, but I don't think I'll be returning to pay $5.80 for 3/4 cup ice.

    I'm surprised with the drink..why do you need to purchase the "top off" to have it filled all the way?? Shouldn't it be filled all the way if you got that size? Popcorn chicken was pricey. I got a large ($13ish) with much more tiny batter pieces than actual chicken. Looks like they just filled the bottom with the tiny batter pieces and then placed some bigger actual popcorn chicken on top. You can tell in the pic there's a lot of those crunchy batter bits. And the basil was just thrown on top (typically it's fried). Both drink and food tasted alright though. It's not terrible, but they can improve on some things.

    Tastea has never been my go-to for boba because just by looking at the drinks and the menu, I can tell it's nothing special. But yesterday I was craving boba and karaage chicken, and Tastea was the only option still open and close to my house, so I desperately ordered from them for the first time and it will definitely be my last. The chicken was extremely salty and full of crumbs, as you can see in the photo, literally tiny pieces of batter that were overly salty. Of course, they also ran out of basil. I ordered a lychee freeze with 50% sugar, but they gave me 100% sugar instead. It was ridiculously sweet. Who even drinks super-sugary drinks these days? I honestly feel like I spent my money on salty batter and sugar water. Oh well, exactly what I expected from Tastea.

    Just a PSA for those of you who enjoy your drinks without ice. If you don't pay extra for the top off, you will only get half of your drink. It's an interesting scam that they're running, but who knows, maybe drink margins are tight

    I love their popcorn chicken but maaan their staff sometimes seem like they don't want to talk to you. Some of them are nice though. Lol also everything taste so good but the chicken sometimes can be so tiny. They also run out of basil sometimes. Their Thai tea is yummy and boba texture is really good

    I love the food here, especially the karate chicken! I usually get medium for spice level if you like it a little spicy, if not mild would be a good option for you! I also love their fries, you can pick what seasoning you want on them! The bbq flavor is really good! The boba and drinks here are always amazing! I usually get their jasmine milk tea or the tea to mango for a refreshing option! I love the little mango fruit bits inside the drink! The boba is really good and soft. Since it's December, they have special red and green colored boba for the holidays! It's such a fun surprise! I also like how fast the food and drinks come out!

    I have tried pretty much all the boba places in Torrance and Tastea is now my go to. The boba is always the right chewiness and the drinks always taste as I expect. I love the drive through, they are actually pretty fast. The missing star is mainly for the crew. I think they are okay, I mean they are probably mostly part time employees, making minimum wage. When compared to other establishments they seem a little less friendly and don't really seem like they want to be there. For me going to get a boba is a treat and it can be a downer when the vibe is a little low. Not expecting high-fives or anything, but just seems different vs other places. Quality and reliability is still important to me so the vibe is not going to stop me from still going there! Another plus is the food, it's nice they have some go to snacks to go. I would check it out! They have minimal seating inside and out. I saw someone who was not so happy with sweetness levels not 0 sweetness when ordering 0. Please note at pretty much all boba places when adding toppings it most likely has a syrup that they can't separate, so your drink will have some sweetness. I don't like it too sweet so I always get 0, but expect my drink to have some sweetness.

    Ooh la la. Is my favorite drink. Nice staff, good food and drinks. Plenty of parking.

    I usually love Tastea because the drinks are always good, but today's experience at the drive-thru was really disappointing. The cashier was extremely rude when we asked a few simple questions. He seemed annoyed, gave short responses with a rude tone, and when we apologized for asking and thanked him, he completely ignored us to chat with his coworkers instead. It's sad because we really do enjoy Tastea, but customer service matters just as much as the drinks. If the place was super busy, I could understand, but there was no line and no reason to treat customers that way. Hopefully management can address this, because the drinks deserve better service. 3 stars are all for drinks (:

Granted, South Bay has more limited options for fancier boba shops, so perhaps its location and accessibility makes it more popular. I've ordered a taro drink, a jasmine milk tea, and peach yogurt drink from here on separate occasions. All three times have been underwhelming. The taro drink tasted somewhat artificial and it wasn't blended well; there were still chunks of ice which kind of ruined the texture. It did not shine a light to Sunbright's taro in aromatic taro flavor. The jasmine milk tea drink wasn't great in that the tea flavor wasn't that strong, almost slightly watered down. Their peach yogurt drink had an okay taste, but the chunks of peach and yogurt syrup (or whatever is used) tasted quite artificial. Their boba also doesn't have that bounce/bite that distinguishes great boba from the not-so-great. This place is enough to scratch an itch, but look elsewhere if you're into more authentic flavors, as this leans a little more towards artificial and sweet rather than balanced flavors.

There's screens to order as well so maybe he was not expecting the human interaction. Either way it threw me off unfortunately. I'd have to wait a while to see if I wanna come back and try something different. There's too many coffee and milk tea shops that come to my mind first to visit instead.

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.
